Many anime fans are used to keeping up with new releases, but what about older anime?
Many "old" anime fans notice that many new people are coming to the fandom, aimed at watching the latest titles, while anime that were released seemingly only 5 years ago are no longer considered relevant.
Of course, there are anime that, despite their age, have already taken root in the minds of even a young audience, for example Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Death Note, the works of Hayao Miyazaki, but what about anime that are not so popular, but still deserve attention?
Some people believe that in order to popularize classic anime, it is necessary to "relaunch" them, that is, to create the same anime, but with new graphics, perhaps with some plot changes (if, for example, there is a manga and there were some discrepancies in the first adaptation), such as the relatively recent new adaptation of Shaman King.
However, not everyone agrees with these methods of attracting attention, since old animation is what gives the anime its charm and atmosphere.
Also in the era of the development of social networks, YouTube, TikTok, etc. people may be attracted by interesting short videos with clips of the brightest moments of anime, or recommendations from bloggers, YouTubers who run vlogs or channels on this topic. Especially often in comments on anime or manga you can find people saying they found this title thanks to a video from TikTok, so this method definitely works, the main thing is to create something interesting and intriguing. In addition, streaming websites can add old anime to their catalogs to attract new audiences.
Also artists and people who create something related to anime are very popular nowadays. In addition, today there are many different festivals dedicated to anime, where people who engage in cosplay can also attract audiences with their creativity and intrigue them with interesting characters.
And the simplest and most obvious way is to talk about these anime. Many people just strive to attract attention, so they choose to discuss only what is already heard and what is already known in order to attract more people into the discussion. However, if you move away from this concept and try to draw the audience's attention to something else, this can also have an effect.
We can say that it is quite possible to interest a new audience in old titles, but of course this will not happen overnight, it will take time and effort, but in the end, even if a small number of people learn about interesting unpopular anime, this can already be considered a success in popularizing the classics.
