8 Classic Anime Shows That Are Still Better Than Most New Series

Comments

1. Selimc: most of these are from before I got into anime but Fullmetal Alchemist definitely stuck with me
2. Vanta Shard: what really gets my attention is the animation quality of these old shows still holding up today
3. Marek: anime still can't touch 90s pro wrestling on storytelling impact
4. Karimfelix: i've seen fullmetal alchemist and monster back in the day but don't think they hold up to their reputation anymore - too dated, even though animation has definitely gotten worse not
5. Zero Rune: finally someone giving some props to Fullmetal Alchemist – Brotherhood's pacing is what really sets it apart, not just the usual 'dark story' label everyone throws around
6. Milar: I'd take issue with calling them 'classic' - anime doesn't age like other mediums can, some of these shows would still be top tier new releases if made now
7. Velvet Rune: i was always so high on cowboy bebop over Fullmetal Alchemist but rewatching Brotherhood and it really holds up in all areas, way to go on writing this one
8. Arlo: i'd take monster over most shows any day, its complexity still holds up
9. Nina: love the nostalgia, but some new shows are pushing boundaries too, didn't 'Mob Psycho 100' blow minds?
10. Selimn: most 'classic' series get a free pass just because they're old, but what actual substance does Brotherhood have that I'm missing?
11. Lena: you'd think that at this point we've finally caught up to the early 2000s, but somehow anime still blows our own content out of the water
12. Velvet Phantom: Honestly, can't believe they're still harping on about Fullmetal Alchemist when there are so many newer shows doing it better now
13. Aria: never played them but Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was recommended by a friend and I've heard only good things 🙏
