How Anime Art Has Changed

I like both styles equally.
I thought about it for a while and I got to say, ultimately I prefer the new style over the old one.
Big difference I see, but I must say that I like the new one much better. There are more free details of the new and more together in the old verison. But so are all the anime series differ in their own details, so I speak only for this one now.
Yeah I saw this and a few other comparison pics like it sometime yesterday. Not gonna lie I do prefer the late 90's-early 2000's.
Well it seems almost certainly everything these days rely on graphics rather than the content itself, in the end style are just styles
Personally, I think the method for coloring things back then. It looked too dark. Proportions were sometimes kind of weird as well. Like, if you to take the 90s example and bring it into real life it's nose and head would look ******* gigantic. Almost 1.5x the size of a normal person.
But also the older styles had a bit more detail into things.

I Like the 90's styles more and look at this Boomslank.com
Yesterday's comment i posed was wrong. I mean the 80's Style
What a cool post!
Hmm... I wonder if the visual style of an era is as much a reflection of the style of the individual artists who were the major players at that time?
I can say that the use of color is most likely related to the limited palette available in cel painting used at the time. (Or gouache or markers for manga.) Cels tended to need highly saturated colors to keep the finished artwork from fading out under the camera.
Digital coloring has opened up the whole spectrum to the modern colorist, so it makes sense to see such a dramatic change.
