Anime Quality

Arguably, modern anime is much better than older anime. Depending on when you choose to delineate between eras, modern anime has better animation, better production value, and is much more popular. At the same time, older series have more originality, and there were fewer bad shows that aired.

There are a lot of reasons why 80s and 90s anime series look so different from modern anime. For the most part, it boils down to technology as many techniques and tools have seen dramatic advancement over the decades. Also, art styles tend to evolve over time, and you can see that in anime as well.
