>80's doesn't define a show's quality
Not that anon you talked to, but it does. At least on average. Budget and time back then wasn't as "freely available" as it is today, where ctrl-z, last minute compositing, 3D-CGI-background-characters or digital motion of background plates is available to not only bit studios, but literally everybody who wants to get into it.
Basically you had to be abso-fucking-lutely sure that your anime will at least check enough boxed to be watchable, since the process was more expensive (time and money wise). Saying anything else is completely ignoring this.
If we compare averages, the 80s simply had the better "diamond to shit" ratio compared to recent times.
