Tropes expire as people use them over and over again
Our attentions spans are far worse too.

A few years ago I reluctantly started watching the original Ultraman under the assumption it'd be just another boring MOTW and I honestly gotta say it has become my favourite show of all time, absolutely fucking amazing stuff, especially the Jissoji episodes. Everybody I recommend it to always just assume it's just a silly show about about a costumed man rampaging in a large toy diorama and never give it the time of day.

anyone reading this watch the first 2 episodes right fucking now

Turn them into webms and upload them here and maybe I will.

I don't. Several of my favorite shows are from the 70s. Though admittedly, for a lot of this stuff, like Ashita no Joe, I'd rather just read the manga.

>>4202
Indeed. Have you seen Ultraseven? It's even better imo, and easily one of the best TV shows ever if you ask me.
>especially the Jissoji episodes
Great taste. I've thought a few times about doing a stream here for the Jissouji episodes of Ultraman and Ultraseven.

I did check out Dororo and it sucked compared to the 2019 version. Why waste time watching anything older than the 80's when it'll all be remade eventually?

I'm not sure if people ignore them as much as it's inaccessible to them. Most people are going to be limited to what the streaming service provides to them, and word of mouth spreads from there. Do those streaming piracy sites have stuff from back then? They might feel that it's not popular enough to justify the storage costs or however that works. People who torrent are like 0.01% of the anime "fanbase" now I feel.

>The Real question is Why Haven't YOU Checked out something from the 60's and 70s.
I have! But, one of my complaints with stuff from that time is the audio. It's really... weird. Like it's recorded in a tunnel from inside someone's backpack. I'm not an audiophile, but that does bother me.

most old anime is on youtube, though a lot of modern stuff may have annoying anti-content ID filters

I just finished Aim for the Ace! just a couple weeks ago. I like it, but it's not something to watch all the time.

I tried watching that too after I had seen the 2019 version and it was confusing, it seems to assume that you had read the manga already since a lot of stuff is just not explained.

>>4204
Yeah Ultraseven is pretty great although I did find it a bit harder to get into as Ultraman at first. Lots of forgettable episodes but when it did shine it shined real fucking hard, like alien metron, robot planet and that one ep where the aliens troll the shit out of that astronomer

For me what really set Seven apart was the enemies being sentient, I felt like this really shifted the focus away from kaiju battles and opened the doors for a wider range of interesting plots. There was even an episode with no fights or kaiju that turned out to be one of the best in the series. Sadly, from what I've heard from other tokufags, Seven is an anomaly in this regard. I did watch later installments like Return and Ace, and while they were good and had some standout episodes, they didn't quite capture the same magic.

My mom grew up in Hawaii and tried to sell me on Ultraseven as a kid but I could never really get into it.
I think I like stunts more than toku, so I like older Kamen Riders and the Space Sheriffs more.

>Why do people ignore 60's and 70's Anime so much?
It's hard to watch them because in the rips that are available the sound quality tends to be low, it's grating on the ears.
I've watched Kagaku Ninja-tai Gatchaman, Ashita no Joe, Attack No. 1, Dororo to Hyakkimaru, Lupin III, Alps no Shoujo Heidi, and Genshi Shounen Ryuu.
My favourite of these were Heidi, Ashita no Joe, and Lupin III. Gatchaman and Attack No. 1 were slogs at ~100 episodes each and could have been told in 50 episodes or even trimmed to 25.

I didn't like Genshi or Dororo. The settings (prehistoric for Genshi, sengoku jidai for Dororo) were bleak and far removed from my day to day experience. It feels like I was watching endless bad guys fighting other endless bad guys and it's difficult to care about what happens to any of them. Having a story set during such times made me really narrow my focus to only caring about a small number of main characters, and even then not caring about them too much. But despite not liking sengoku jidai as a setting, I arbitrarily don't have the same feeling towards medieval European settings even though the exact same criticism holds. It's probably because as more fantastic elements are placed in such settings, they become more interesting to me, and I've rarely if ever read a story in a European setting without there being typical fantasy tropes such as dragons and magic, or more modern industrial tech such as guns and electricity.

I've checked out a fair bit of 60's and 70's anime, but I must say I think I generally prefer Toku. Somehow it manages to be even more bomastic and goofy than the anime does. Though exceptions like Gundam and such still exist.

I do need to watch more anime from that time period. I think the only anime from the 70s I've seen are Lupin, Mazinger, and Gundam. I've read more manga from then though, and even from the 50s. Animation from that time feels somewhat stilted (even into the early 80s) and the still images of manga are easier to appreciate imo.
