First of all don't talk down to me like your somehow superior or more knowledgeable than I am, you don't know anything about me. Secondly I am damn older than ghost in the shell. For the record I'm 20, I'm assuming your younger than me but I could be wrong so this next comment could come back to bite me in the ass, but its you who should not forget to respect your elders.
As for vintage anime, I love it. I own the Getta Robo box set, which was made in 1974. I don't really mind how old an anime is. I just judge it on its own merits and by my own opinion, if I like it then I like it and if I don't then I don't.
I mean GiTS does have its merrits, such as fantastic animation and it uses a more "realistic" or propotioned style (which 'm not a massive fan of but it can be ok). It had lots of action and some good ideas, but overall I thought it was a little bit boring, left lots of information unexplained and is very over-rated.
Personally I don't think things should be respected just because they are popular and people say so, to me something has to earn my respect, and to do that I generally have to like it. Granted some stuff that gets owned by modern stuff but I can respect them for pioneering new things and being original, because without these the newer stuff might not exist or be as good.

Well I don't have a short attention span, in fact when I get my anime box sets I normally watch the episodes back to back all day from the time I get up to the time I go to bed which is normally in the 3am zone. And I do that every day until its finished. I just didn't like GiTS.
