I prefer more "cartoon" looking anime. The original Akira, Vampire Hunter D, Speedracer, etc. When it became giant eyes and tiny schoolgirls, I stopped watching it.

fun

I got perma-banned on civ 7 forum for quoting Elmer Fudd. I still love the old Looney Tunes but will never again buy a game from Firaxis or 2K Games.

Retro jank can be charming. I really liked Reboot when it originally aired.

I don't think it works like that, people still watch old cartoons. I liked Reboot when I was a kid.

I thought this was going to be about Homestar Runner and StrongBad, and Joe Cartoon.

I am disappointed. I miss those good old timewasters.

Yes, Reboot was amazing when it came out. I can only imagine the rendering time per frame it took to make that cartoon versus what it would take now for the same quality.

I'm old enough to remember an early series of VHS tapes called The Mind's Eye, showcasing computer-generated graphics, and how blown away we were by them -- this was in the same timeframe, probably around 1990 or so, when the best graphics was still Amiga 2000, 3000 and Silicon Graphics workstations. What's amazing to me, to this day, is despite how unbelievably awesome those systems struck us nerds then -- our PCs today are hundreds of times more powerful. Amiga -- even the 3000 -- is junk right now. A glorified Commodore 128.

But then? It was THE graphics machine for the common man. And Silicon Graphics (which was likely the system used for Reboot) was THE graphics machine for the VERY wealthy.

Today we look at the specs on the best graphics workstations in 1990 and laugh.

Looks cheesy and bad

Do they still hold up, despite how silly the graphics look now?

I like it. It inspires me to one day upgrade my computer to handle animation like that.

If you didn't know season 4 of reboot didn't air in the states. I ended up watching all of season 4 yesterday.
