Retraux: Difference between revisions

* The [[ADV Films]] trailer for ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' has narration mimicking the style of voice-over used on old-fashioned newsreels. (However, the anime itself doesn't use many Retraux effects outside of a few scenes in the opening and the grainy episode title cards and eyecatches.)

* ''[[Airmaster]]'' - The anime version ran from 2003-2004 but wouldn't look out of place in early 90s. It's probably an [[Affectionate Parody]].

* Mostly averted in ''[[Baccano!]]!'', but in a scene where a character explains his world view that the world exists for his amusement, the show [[Painting the Fourth Wall|briefly looks like a scratchy film with low-quality sound to mimic movies from the era.]] And like the ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' example above, the American trailer intentionally invokes film from this era by being [[Deliberately Monochrome]], using a "news reel" style narration and backed up by a tinny piano score similar to what a silent film would have.

* [[Kaiba]] looks like a sixties' children anime.

* In ''[[Lucky Star]]'', Meito Anisawa and the other Animate store employees are drawn in a style reminiscent of anime (especially [[Super Robot]] anime) that's some decades older than ''Lucky Star''. There's even a visual effect that makes their shaded areas be of non-uniform color tone and change their color tone slightly over time, simulating the look of cel animation.

* Many of the ''[[Gundam]]'' works set in the Universal Century deliberately try to maintain a consistent art style reminiscent of the 1980s, right down to the [[Eighties Hair]]. If you look closely, you'd notice that the characters of ''[[Gundam Unicorn]]'' wouldn't look out of place in ''[[Zeta Gundam]].''
