Anime through time

>>140383343
crap, in 1998 132 Anime were aired.

Well, theoretically less shows releasing at the same time would mean that people would have less choice, therefore anime would be able to be more shitty.

As we know, however, increase in the amount of shows means that there are simply more shitty shows, but not necessarily more good shows.

>>140383343
Did they accidentally the legend? In the description it says what's new is what's colored for continuous series.

Anime got popular and thus shitty.

>>140383779
just look at /v/

not that we are any better

A thing to note is that OVAs were huge 20 years ago and those didnt count as airing anime and were mostly originals

>>140383522
Many of today's sorta shitty shows are better than many of the great hits of old. People have more options to watch good stuff now, so no need to hype Ah My Goddess and Record of Lodoss War anymore. These are worse than 50% of everything released each season, but yet they became huge hits because anime fans had no options and lower standards.

>>140383837
Nobody wants to look at /v/

Anime was always bad.

I personally enjoy a shitload of 1978-end of 80s anime

Then the 90s anime came and ruined everything. Dropped anime in the 00s till 2008 with Code Geass, Gundam 00, and Gurren Lagann bringing me back into animeland.

I can't say which one enjoyed the most, past entertainment or modern? Its so different its not comparable.

>>140383343
this doesn't count OVAs though, which were in large quantities 20-30 years ago

>>140383841
Did they sell a lot, why were OVAs so popular?

OVA's were imo a small and shortlived phenomenon

Not many good anime came out of it. Some overseas audiences got a kick out of it, due to the novelty of anime.

CGDCT didn't really come around till Lucky Star
So 2007 and onwards.

>>140384521
they didnt have to censor as much as tv anime
and you could watch it anytime

>>140385314
>and you could watch it anytime
You know you could buy plenty of TV anime on VHS, too?

What's worse is that anime is only getting more popular in the West.

>>140383343
>I think it then became oversaturated
I never understood this complaint. The only way I could see oversaturation being a problem (as a quality issue, not as a business issue) is if it stayed the same size and became oversaturated. If the oversaturation is caused by growth, then how does that affect anything? Even if I aired a thousand Isuca-tier anime this year in addition to the pre-existing stuff, you'd just ignore those additions, watch the same number of anime you otherwise would have, and your experience would be exactly the same.

Well, not commerically that's for sure.

Overseas revenue was at it's peak from 1999-2006

>>140385258

Moe Anime became a thing since the 2000's. Around the period were anime became mass produced.

Anime became better when there are 100 or more are made every year.

If you disagree you are nothing but a nostalgie fag.

>>140385784
Nice buzzwords.

1995-1997 best years.

>>140383841
There's only like 1000 OVA made between 1982 and 2000 with a bit about 100 per year during the peak years in the early 90s. And some OVA were still made after 2000 even when the industry shifted to late night anime.

>were mostly originals
I'd need some tangible numbers to believe that. There were plenty of manga, novel or even game adaptions.
anidb gives me 383 manga adaption OVA before 2000 compared to 127 originals, 72 game and 74 novel adaptions. Obviously there's a lot of missing information but it gives some perspective.

>>140383343

>Anime is been on an up trend, with 322 Anime.

Fuck. I'd rather they dial it back down to maybe 250 so there's more money for better animation.

>>140386461
2003

>>140386840
Do people actually think this is how it works? They don't have some set amount of money they have to spend on anime in a year, they just put less money in overall if they make fewer anime.

>>140386840
Its not about money as much as it is about time (which is why Kyoani shows have a below average budget but still look amazing) but having fewer shows to do means more time spent on individual shows though they will probably lose revenue that way.

>>140386965
What I'd love to see is a comparison of this data to the actual manpower of the industry over time.

>>140386965
>but having fewer shows to do means more time spent on individual shows though they will probably lose revenue that way.
It would mean fewer animators and studios.

Newfag.

>>140387112
Azumanga was arguably the first, but the subgenre didn't really catch wind until Lucky Star, and even more so after K-On!

>>140384521
>Did they sell a lot, why were OVAs so popular?
OVAs back then were the late night anime of today

>>140387534
>this is what /a/ actually believes

what the fuck happened in 2010?

>>140388922
It was regressing since 2006, that doesn't seem that surprising.

>>140383522
If everyone watched the same few shows, they could put more money towards that show

>>140388922
They were saving up for all of the good shows that came out in 2011

Why is Kamiusagi Rope singled out as a short anime when it is not a TV anime?

>>140388922
You know, just 2 years prior one of the largest economic failures ever.

Why is that bad?

>>140389352

Japan is not the United States.

I don't know if you know thins.

>>140389540
Are you retarded.

>>140389540
The world overall did pretty bad in 2008 not just the US

>>140386840
>so there's more money for better animation
Do you think this is Monopoly or something? Wait longer and money would just magically flow in.

>>140389540
The economy is global now.

More like J.C.Staff & Co. was amassing some big money to make their utmost masterpiece.
And we all know J.C.Staff are the ones that move all the good shit on the industry.
Pic related.

>>140389409
That list is missing crucial things like Aikatsu, and the definitions are somewhat wrong.

When did this happen?

>>140386461
90s were the best years coming out of anime

>>140383343
I'd say I like right now.
I used to watch more anime 15 years ago but I'd probably not watch as much of it if I was the age I am right now.
So I'd have to say we're in a better place.

It's not that surprising really, anime has been growing up with me - when I was a kid they used to make more kiddie shit, now they make more anime for adults. Can't say I hate it.

>>140389754
During 80s and 90s.
