Except that there's plenty of good modern stuff that deserves recognition as well. Sangatsu no lion, ID:invaded, Nami yo kiitekure, and Shouwa genroku rakugo shinju are all 2016+ to name a few off the top of my head.

There's plenty of solid modern stuff but to refuse to watch anything older than 2010 is asinine.
 
Are both seasons of GATE worth watching? The setting is really interesting to me, but seems to get boring after 6 episodes.

They're good if you like seeing Japanese jingoism and seeing medieval troops get bombed and shot. I didn't find it particularly engaging in terms of story but its a fun/dumb watch.

This man was one half of the duo who helped give us The Laughing Salesman and Doraemon to the world, while also being mentored by Osamu Tezuka and paving the way for guys like Shotaro Ishinomori and Fujio Akatsuka to create Kamen Rider and Osomatsu-kun.

Him and the late Hiroshi Fujimoto deserve all the success and praise for making timeless works.

That's a shame.
A side note, I wasn't aware the most recent Doraemon series is not only still going, but has over 1000 episodes and is nearing two decades.

You will get a bit of Japan jerking at times, but it's fairly fun.

Tbh if I had tp make a show about people from my country entering a fantasy world, I would probably turn it into military and patriotic propaganda.

The other half died years ago. I wonder what led him to live so much longer than so many other manga artists. Did he get a full night's sleep no matter what, like Shigeru Mizuki?

I'm glad that The Laughing Salesman is getting a resurgence on youtube. You wouldn't expect it to be from the same guy who helped make Doraemon. The mix of dark comedy and greedy comeuppance are a real nice change of pace from your usual shows.

I thought he died years ago with the other half. Huh.

We're nearing the end of an era real fast.
