Just watched an anime movie on TV called the Norse Prince by Isao Takahata. This was old 1968 in fact, think Astro Boy or Speed Racer and that is what the animation was like, the story was alright, watching it was like a bit of anime history.
It got me thinking just how much animation has changed with the advent of technology, in a good way of course. The recent remake of Appleseed for example was brilliant. And of course series like FMA, Last Exile, Peacemaker and Cowboy Bepop in the last decade or so
I think any good anime,despite its age, does have a timeless quality to it. Original BGC, AD Police, Project A-ko, GITS, Dominion Tank Police just to name a few. The sort of things you can watch again and again, and not get bored with.
Just my musings on the subject, what does anyone else think?
