I baby sat for a family who bought new consoles the day that they came out and spoiled their kids amazingly. My most amusing story is when i brought the youngest home with me to hang out for an hour or 2 and he got to witness the amazingness of my NES. He's like... "It's the original nintendo? You mean an N64?"  "No, a NES. It's different." "Different how?"  "Just watch".  Push button and the blinky light comes on... fudge it a bit and you hear the start up noise.. the look on his face was priceless...

Anys...

I'd say old school would be first or second gen of certain gaming consoles.  (NES, SNES, Sega, Atari, MAYBE the early PS1 games...) Definitely NOT X-box.

As for Anime, I agree with Jenn. Anything that's hand drawn. Though some things I consider old school like Wizards. That came out in the 70's and was one of the first computer generated animations. So I guess 95 and younger. :)

Video games: Systems themselves would be the Atari 2400/2600, NES/FamiCom, Collicovision, Intellivision, etc. Sorry, the PS1 that uses CDs is not old school.

Computer games. anything on the Commodore 64/128, and older PC games that still required DOS.

Anime: Anything that was still hand-drawn. Computer colored is ok, but the original inks need to be hand-drawn.

I think the 16-bit systems count as Old School by most peoples' reckonings...

I think we all have decided that 1995 and earlier is Old Skool (I love spelling it that way sorry)


I am surprised that no one is mentioning Lupin the Third as old skool....Hello!! 1970's how old skool do we have to get.

I agree with the idea that old school usually implies hand drawn, which is rather easy to identify. It's the kind of stuff that was out and about before anime and manga became popular. I think the problem with gauging old school vs new school is that when we rationally think about it we want to measure stuff (let's say anime) chronologically, but our feeling is more closely based off how many series we've seen. The amount of media (video games, anime, manga, etc) being released is growing exponentially over the years. There's been so much anime released since 2000 that it makes the 90's look like a joke.

I think series like Cowboy Bebop, Trigun and Gundam Wing are on the line. Anything that came out before them is fine. So I guess I'm drawing the line at about '95-'97.

Only if it was originally on VHS and not coming out on VHS and DVD at the same time.

Old School:
Alf!!!
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Inspector Gadget
Transformers
Voltron
Sailor Moon
MUPPETS

Okay so not all Anime...but to me that's old school. Kinda like...what I grew up on during the late 80s and 90s. Bash=old though....1995 I was in 5th grade lol

XD If before 2000 counts something as old school, then Naruto would be considered as such.  Came out in japan in '99.


AND FOR SHAME! These deserve to be mentioned!

Slayers, Fushigi Yuugi, Sorcer Hunters, Speed Racer, and Ayashi no Ceres.

Ok, so as i said is it anything hand drawn that is old school? or anything before 95? I feel as if MKR is Old School, but it came out in 98 i believe.

The Berserk anime could possibly be old school, as it is mid-90s, and the earlier manga too, but as it is still coming out, it's iffy.
