I am not "blinded by nostalgia" nor I think "all modern anime is bad".
But Sage is a bad reviewer.
His Grave of the Fireflies is completely dishonest and is based in rumors. He provides zero sources about how Isao Takahata wanted to "guilt-trip" the Japanese youth of the 80s. He just read that fake data somewhere on the internet, probably made up by someone from the United States,
Basing reviews in "urban legends" is just bad criticism.
