Calling Haruhi classic isn't that bad - I've seen people on this site referring to 2010s-era hardware as "retro".
When the AVGN started out, the SNES was roughly as old as the PS3 is now.
Didn’t need to read that! I’ve often thought I will truly feel my age when they start calling the Xbox 360 ‘retro’. Not far off if we’re not already there.
The anime will be 19 years old next month, so it's probably not wrong to consider it such.
It reinforces that I'm getting old, though.
It was a huge hit, and those tend to turn into classics with age. Gotta admit that it's making me feel old.
