>>48898824I'll tell you as someone who loves FotNS that 0079 probably aged better than it did. I really wouldn't worry. There is stock footage but there's enough to the action in the show that it doesn't dominate it, unlike seed which constructs its fights out of constant camera jumps and stock footage with explosions.
I hadn't watched too much older anime before I watched 0079 and the crappy animation only made it funnier. I now don't give half a shit about how smoothly animated a show is. What matters is good pacing, direction, choreography, whatever, which sadly 0079 gets better than almost any anime I can think of despite its age.
