What is the defining anime of this generation?

Naruto

You think that snoozefest Love Live is defining of a generation or are you shitposting?

K-on. You know you can't deny it.

Bleach.

Haruhi

Haruhi, Lucky Star, and K-On

I don't even like Haruhi, and I like MAYBE two KyoAni shows. It's impact on the industry is inarguable. It, along with Shakugan no Shana, was one of the forerunners of the LN craze and its style, setting, and atmosphere have been aped by countless high school supernatural dramas since.

Even if it's Haruhi it's been 10 years since then already, and Eva is only 20 years, so we need something newer.

>>137455822
Was Bebop even popular in Japan or is it one of those just western things?

>>137455761
Shakugan no Shana and School Rumble contributed far more to the high school category than Haruhi ever did, if you are going by spiritual successors.

Attack on Titan

>>137455776

But it takes like ten years to even fully assess the influence of a show.

Haruhi is the PERFECT choice to represent the past ten years for being one of the forerunners of the LN craze, and for looking like a high-quality version of all the flat sameface shit from the 2000's.

Where did all the time go

>>137455897
It's popular but it's not EVA popular (obviously).

>>137455910
Haruhi's version of high school drama won out over those two though. The light drama mixed with supernatural elements proved to be extremely popular (and is probably what set the stage for Bakemonogatari to take the industry by storm).

>>137455433
Defining?

Well I would have to say whatever anime congress eventually decides to flaunt in front of the public to show how indecent, pornographic, and pedophilic anime is when they move for it to be punished the same as child pornography, if the characters are under-aged.

So the sky is the limit really, might just be whatever google pops up first for them.

madoka

or k-on

>>137455433
probably haruhi

>>137455964

It's representative of the visual style, and had a wide influence.

What more could you ask for? I'm not saying it's GOOD. But it was certainly popular as all hell, and everyone wanted a piece of Haruhi's success.

Bakemonogatari

>>137456006
It absolutely did not. The version of LN high school drama that won out was Shakugan no Shana. That is the format most high school supernatural anime tend to follow.

There are many reasons Bakemonogatari was successful and none of them have to do with Haruhi. As I said, you are a KyoAni shitter and the stuff you are spouting proves it.

>>137455696
I havn't even seen haruhi, but if we are talking about impact, it takes the cake.

>>137456140
It was good though. Disappearance is a masterpiece.

>>137455897

Isn't it funny how KyoAni can't seem to get a break unless some other company licenses them?

>>137455433
It is Love Live.

But if I had to choose another title that'd be K-On.

>>137455600
Perhaps defining = prototypical is the best way to go. Then it'd probably be a moe 4koma adaption.

In all honesty i going to say Tatami Galaxy just to look more of a hipster but if anything changed the mood around here was Haruhi, it's not that pretentious to appeal normies but not that easy to engage your average faggot around here, when gave an interesting twist to the slice life anime.
Monogatari series are too verbose and remains to certain extent to a niche audience.

Haruhi was right in time for stuff like Niconico douga, when internet was mainstream enough to allow for user created content to be easily shared among casual, younger audience. So it feels like another step in the development of anime culture and around it, much the same way Evangelion was.

Death Note - it's the only mainstream one in the past 10 years that isn't criminally overrated like AoT or OPM

Unironically Madoka

why hasn't anyone fucking posted Geass?

The bulk of Monogatari aired in the 2010's.

Therefore it's probably disqualified from the 2000's.

It's either Shana or Haruhi, guys.

Sorry, but your stupid animalwife incest show just wasn't present enough during the last decade.

>>137456740
It's no longer relevant

>>137456764
Shana is popular?

Only people who are slightly in the know have heard of Haruhi. Personal opinion aside, I thought it was garbage.

But neither of those things apply to Love Live.

Hate it all you want, but Cowboy Bebop will always be the most iconic anime, everything from the animation, to story telling to the music is iconic and will be remembered for a long time.

As a multimedia franchise, not just an anime, it is ludicrously successful. I don't know if it's actually the *most* successful. The Monogatari series is probably also up there, and at least as "iconic" as LL.

>>137457480
No one cares about Cowboy Bebop anymore. It literally only exists as an /a/ meme these days. The average low powerlevel normalfag who has only started watching anime in this decade hasn't even heard of it.

The JoJo anime isn't really influential tho. Neither is the OP

Popular is not influential

The only way to consider something influential is if it spawned several copies and started trends that we can see today.

That's why instead of love live, madoka, or other shows that were wildly popular, the truly influential anime of our time is SAO that spawned the VR MMO/Isekai Reincarnation genre that plagues us to this very day.

Gundam being a special case aside, I'd easily put Madoka on Eva's level. However it's also important to keep in mind that at 5 years, it's also the youngest on that list. I remember when Eva was still 5 years old, and while it was well known, it wasn't nearly as infamous as it is now.
But I imagine a part of that is due to the expansion of the internet.

>>137457781
Subversive themes about serious topics such as humanity, trust, and victimization masked with cute uguu aesthetics. This style was later copied by shows like Madoka.

>>137457781
the ol' kawaii switcheroo

>>137457648
Madoka aired 5 years ago, what mahou shoujo airing this season have been influenced by it? Komugi-chan? Precure? I don't think so.
MSG aired almost 4 decades ago and there's like 3 ongoing gundam shows right now.

>>137457868
The tropes aren't the fucking same though.
Eva is much closer to real robot, fucking TTGL is a throwback to super robots.

>>137457983

I didn't consider, that's actually a significant contribution.

>>137457986
We've gotten at least 2 Madoka ripoffs so far already - Wixoss and Yuuki Yuuna. Whether they were good shows or not is irrelevant, they were clearly made in response to Madoka's success and play off of some of its popular elements.

>>137457986
I really don't know where to start with this.
However, I feel like if I don't reply to you properly, you'll feel your opinion was justified.
>what mahou shoujo airing this season have been influenced by it? Komugi-chan? Precure?
Madoka isn't only about the influence it had on magical girl shows. And even though shows obviously influenced by Madoka exist, I'm not sure why you're expecting to see one very season. Also, Pretty Cure is a show for children. Also, it predates Madoka by 7 years.

>MSG
Gundam essentially is Pretty Cure. It's an anime franchise that doesn't give a shit if a preceding incarnation was popular or not, it will keep spitting out new Gundam shows until likely the heat death of the sun. Gundam can't properly be compared to any other show in >>137457181, which are all single continuity series.

I told you Madoka, or any of those shows isn't about the impact it had on the shows following it. It's about the impact it had on fans, and the anime industry. It would be stupid to use only the former parameter as a judge, as Gundam came at the fucking end of the giant robot craze, and Eva probably only spawned 2 clones at most over 20 years.

Then what did it do? It didn't change mahou shoujo, it didn't change late night anime, it didn't influence jack-shit. Well, except for idiots calling every show with girls suffering a madoka rip-off like this guy. >>137458219
And Gundam created real robot, that's a huge influence, even if we don't take into account its sequels.

Hi you must be 12, because you're fucking retarded.
This wasn't a thread on what your personal opinion is, this wasn't a thread on what you like.
DBZ is the most well known anime worldwide hands down, it has been watched by nearly every type of people and is so well received that even spooks/spics like it and accepted it into their meme fold. Something so rare for anime that it is almost unheard of.
It defined an entire generation of males afternoons and was the gateway anime for millions, yes literally millions of people.
Had DBZ not existed there might have been a timeline where anime was never westernized and the market would have been limited to Nips, which would of equaled poverty and eventually cancellation for most studios.
Instead of the mediocre trash they are putting out today, to cater to fanboyism.
DBZ is so more defining than even Gundam. Which was only moderately well received in other cultures.

>>137457658

(Have you actually watched Yuuki Yuna?)

Regardless that's two shows. Two shows. And we're in 2016. By 2000, that was the beginning-middle of the "Eva clone" era. By the mid 80s, everything was trying to be the next Gundam. There were mecha shows up the ass trying to be that kind of hit.

Madoka didn't influence shit. It was popular for sure and I really liked it but it's not even close to what even Haruhi did for the industry

>>137458993
>Gundam started in fucking 79', lets see how relevant DBZ is when it's fucking 37 years old.
Considering it's already 26 years old and more relevant than Gundam is. I'd say it's winning that bet easily.
The average school kid doesn't know what a Gundam is/and/does not even the latest series.
Everyone knows Goku, I can tattoo that nigger on my balls and girls are like "hey it's that super sandwich guy" that's how fucking relevant he is to todays culture.

I think in the way OP is using them it works

Astro Boy was literally the first, or at least the first commercially viable, anime. Gundam propogated mecha in a new direction so that the 80s were overloaded in mecha. And Eva was Eva and boomed the late night market.

Which is why I'd say Haruhi would take the 00s too

As a pleb, I see that chart and see Astroboy, A Gundam show, Evangelion, and I-don't-fucking-know, so maybe it's too soon for Love Live, since I only figured out what it was by reading the thread. Gotta wait for more time to pass methinks.

Both Haruhi and K-On together, simply because they actually shaped the industry. Which of the two had the larger impact is a toss-up in my opinion.

Bake comes to mind but moreso in terms of definite popularity rather than straight-up influence.

It should be Madoka instead of Rabu Raibu.
Just see: Wixos, Yuuki Yuuna, Gakkou Gurashi, Vivired which was already posted, and I'm sure letting many others out becasue I mostly watch old stuff.

K-ON literally cannot be the defining anime of a decade which also included Azumanga Daioh. If the 2000's were defined by CGDCT SoL shows, then Azumanga was that decade's defining anime. Period.

For me personally, it would be Haruhi.

I did watch naruto, inuyasha, gundam wing, etc.. during my childhood. However, it really did not make an impact as much as Haruhi did.

After Haruhi, I was on a roll to being a hikikomori, then theres NHK. Shit reinforced my hikikomorism, but I made friends which stopped me from killing myself.

Now I am alone again...

So Haruhi.

Strongest argument against K-On!

I'm still of the opinion that Shana/Haruhi is the strongest contender for both prototypical and representative at the same time.

The best-selling series in Japan in the past decade has been the Monogatari series. I don't know if you can call that "defining" or not; I don't think it's all that influential.

>>137463652

Thing is that Monogatari aired after Haruhi, and most of its series have been aired in THIS decade.

It's not really representative of the past, it's just a highly advanced form of what had been perfected by the end of the decade.

>>137455433
I'd have to say Haruhi right now, but only because outside of anime no one has even heard of monogatari

Probably SAO, it spawned hundreds of web novels about reincarnation/transfer to another world, and these are getting an anime in the few next years

>>137463944

SAO isn't the originator of that, though. It's only the latest and most successful iteration of that theme.

>YYY not slightly influenced by Madoka

Didn't Hackahiro say his influences were Madoka and Gochiusa?

Not saying it was an actual ripoff like Haruchika from Hibike but it was at least a bit influenced by it.

>>137463760

Have people outside anime heard of Haruhi? Haruhi always struck me as the anime you watched if you grew up in the early '00s and discovered that there was anime beyond DBZ and Naruto.

>>137464030

No, because it isn't shonen. But we don't talk about shonen because it's omnipresent and a huge thing in and of itself that has its own, separate ebb and flow.

Haruhi is entry-level once you get past what's airing on TV.

>>137464251

Haruhi WAS entry level in 2006, but I think today's new anime fans have moved past it.

Damn, what do kids watch nowadays? SnK obviously, but that's fairly entry-level as it's aired on toonami.

>>137464030
It was very big in Japanese mainstream and had lots of international fans.

If we're talking western mainstream penetration you may as well disregard the whole thread, since even pokemon beats eva in that irrelevant regard.

>>137464507

Until this decade's over, I don't think it's fair to start labelling things as influential or not.

Look at the three-year wank that TTGL had before people stopped talking about it altogether, for instance.

To seriously answer the question we have to consider what type of shows are the most popular right now.

What lets Astro Boy, 0079 and Eva be on that list is the huge "follow the leader" example that they made.
It isn't always necessarily about the shows quality but simply how many other shows are going to try their best to ride the success wave those shows made.

I wouldn't put Love Live or Monogatari there because as popular as they are I don't really see a lot of shows that are like Love Live or Monogatari, they both seem pretty self contained.

Some people are actually saying Shana and I can definitely kinda see that with the huge amounts of Highschool Magic Battle anime we get every 2 seconds.

SAO might also be a contender. It didn't start the trapped in an MMO thing at all but we've definitely seen lots of shows trying to be SAO now.

And I don't really see a lot of Haruhi clones or Lucky Star clones anymore, I actually think that well may have dried up a few years back unless I am not looking hard enough.

Maybe not clones, I may be mistaken, but I think Haruhi started the light novel adaptation trend.

It isn't too late, anon-sarna

You guys need to separate popularity and influence when picking what was influential for each decade.
Gundam spawned robot shows that had more realistic characterization and changed the way people view mecha anime for decades.
Evangelion changed anime for the million reasons already dissected on the Internet and ushered in the otaku late night generation.
K-on was influential in starting the music/sol craze.
Haruhi started the LN and the dancing in op/Ed wave we still see today.
Etc etc.

>>137455433
I dont even know the one on the bottom right

>>137467971
and DBZ influenced everything

>>137457606
No, youngster, .hack spawned SAO, since it was written as a FAN FICTION PREQUEL SET IN THE (DOT)HACK WORLD, seen even more clearly by the writers BETTER other animated piece Accel World blatantly referencing .hack first and then SAO immediately after linking all three in his written canon.

Whether you like it or not SnK is going to be the one people remember most out of this decade. It has a huge domestic and international following that's only getting bigger because of how well they distributed it via Netflix/Hulu/Crunchyroll etc.


One Punch Man might maybe, but they would need to produce the next season a lot faster.

>>137468337
I highly doubt it. It's actual industry influence has been fairly small compared to stuff like K-on and even SAO.
OPM definitely won't. It's not even particularly popular saleswise.

>>137468337
The only thing I can see about it is maybe making omnipandering a little more popular? That is all though.
