Bubblegum Crisis is old, not retro.

>>124601Retro does not mean "old". It means "backward".
Some new objects are made in the style of bygone times. We call them retro because these objects are backward-oriented. Like when anime use stylistic features of cel animation despite being made digitally, that is retro.
For anime, that's the extent of it.
In the context of gaming, the terms blur a bit, because to play certain old games, you have to pursue old hardware too. It almost necessitates a dedicated lifestyle. Ergo, there is a retro fanbase that either shares old gaming machines or emulators or various hacks that are necessary to support this hobby. The term retro is then applied not just to the hobby, but often to old games as well (despite the games themselves just being old).
I wouldn't call playing games from the 2000s retro.
We could argue about games from the 90s that you have to at least install DOSbox for.
To me, pinball machines and similar objects are the epitome of the "retro" scene.
(but then, I'm not a gamer, so what does my opinion count?)

>>124611I still need to watch Megalo or Ashita no Joe, but man... 128 episodes. I'm still not sure if I should watch the whole thing or just read the manga. Feels like Megalo would be best enjoyed by watching Ashita no Joe first to catch any references.
On a side note, here's a cool OP of a sports show I actually watched before.

>>129866Yeah, "Monster & Off Season" consists of arcs centered around the girls, but maybe Araragi will also show up in one of them.
Also, that sounds better than what I expected. Not a fan of YOASOBI, but it fits relatively well here unlike in Frieren.

>>130093I enjoyed this novel adaption although it got a little hammy with the drama and subtle gayness at times.

>>132875Thats good to hear! The show was really good from what I remember, maybe i should rewatch it.
I like the ED more than the OP; both are good, I just like ナナヲアカリ.

>>124712That whole era around 2010 in youtube the Japanese rightsholders were so autistic about expunging everything from youtube.
I got a giggle a few months ago seeing Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari in my recs, they finally uploaded the tv version officially to advertise off/monster.
