>When was the Golden Age of Anime?
It ended when Japanese economy went down the shitter. It was some time around Tezuka's death.
>How can we usher in a second golden age?
Make more anime like The World of Golden Eggs? That one sold about 50000 per volume.

Keep good mangakas alive. Support good manga/anime.

Mistakes were made

>>146481383
The Golden Age of any medium refers to the period when it was most popular/mainstream/successful/integrated into & accepted by society. That's why the Golden Age of comics is the 40s, regardless of quality, or why the second and/or third console generations are referred to as the Golden Age of video games.

So for anime it'd be... either the period starting from Gundam and ending with Akira, or starting with Akira and ending sometime in the 90s.

Late 90's to late 00's I'd say. We still get good shows every now and then though, but nothing will probably ever compare to 2007.

>>146484097
the opposite of reality? half of the people i know have at least watched a little anime, and we all know what happened to no man's sky, that shit got hypes precisely because of normies like yourself.

Personally all my favorite anime are from the 80's to 2000 and then after that its a slow downhill slide with a few noteworthy exceptions here and there but mostly just pure garbage

With each passing season I watch less and less and now i'm lucky if there is one thing I watch all the way through and get enjoyment out of that isn't the "hhahahaha holy shit this is fucking awful my sides" kind

Make S2

>>146484112
The phrase "Golden Age" has always been used that way. That's why the 40s is referred to as "The Golden Age of Comics" and the 50s is referred to as "The Golden Age of Wrestling". It has NOTHING to do with quality.

>>146484167
There is nothing wrong with admitting to this, anime has changed for sure in the last couple of decades, if for the best or for the worst thats opinion but it makes sense that plenty of people would prefer some over the other and the ones that prefer 90s or older anime are not all toonamifags

>>146484198
By "always" you mean for the last 5 years?
Because absolutely no one ever referred to the golden age of cinema like that
The problem is that you are confusing cause and effect
When things are more popular it means more money gets poured into the machine and usually more quality stuff happens, this is more true for some mediums over others.

We will usher in a new Golden Age when the new Geass project is announced

>>146484253
This post has no basis in reality.

Around 2010. But maybe this is just my perception because that is when I started to heavily get into anime and watch most of the seasonal stuff.

Depends on what you like I guess. The 80's was a golden age for smaller projects, but there was also a ton of shit shows among those OVAs. Late 90's were revolutionary in the sheer amount that started coming out then. Around 2007 was another good time with many originals airing, and speedsubbing became a thing for us in the west. This decade I think is pretty good so far, the quality has been going up a lot in general just visually, and some memorable show seems to come out every other season. Lately there has been a big increase in sequels, which I guess some people would like, I'm indifferent.

>>146482667
Tezuka always seemed really cool guy

2017 will be full of great shows, and anime will be saved!

Screencap this.

adopt the isekais

First: 80s with Toei and Sunrise dominance.

Second: Now (2010s) in therms of how easy became to produce anime with digital tools and the amount of titles in the market.

Modern """"""anime""""""" is a mistake.

This. Build more wonders and happiness focused city improvements.

Mid 90s... no wait! Mid 00s. I am totally not biased due to my nostalgia goggles mind you

Whenever GTO aired

Right now.

You can download the vast majority of shows that have ever existed, subbed, dubbed, raw, or whatever. It's easy to get.

Golden age is now anons. Who knows how long it will last.

>>146481383

I'd say it was in the eighties. We've been in a dump for a long time, where anime only fills the role of being promotionals for other source material.

Anime will be great again when studios like PA Works rise up and dare to make it great again.

>>146481383
1980 -1990.

Right now.

1995-1997

>>146481383
Right now has very well made animes, and I think most have favorites from around 2012.
There will always be crappy braindead series because of all the fans, however.
Kill some of them and return the goldilocks zone of anime.

in terms of volume and quality I wouldn't like to go back in time
this is a great time for anime

There was never a golden age. Evafags just whine anime's gotten more accessible now it's not just mechas fighting duncewad Christian symbolism. It's better today than it ever has been, bar maybe Ergo Proxy

>>146481383
The golden age was around when VHS came onto the market and the industry boomed with a new means of distribution and monetization that was historically unprecedented. Same as with western animation, really.

The industry thrived both because there was a lot of money in it, relatively speaking, and because it was easy for any small startup to get their project out to the masses, which resulted in an unprecedented diversity in the material being released.

The boom died when the japanese economic bubble burst and will likely never come back because digital animation has greatly increased the startup investment necessary for a company to enter the animation industry. People expected digital distribution to provoke a new golden age but its been exceptionally slow growing simply because monetizing digital distribution is fundamentally less efficient and every industry that embraced it wholesale has seen a significant decline in their revenue (and quality) as a result. Even if those issues are resolved, the higher initial expense in startup will cull the potential for any kind of boom.

be billionaire, throw money at good anime, sabotage bad anime.
The real trick is to know which are good and which are bad.

When OVAs filled with blood and tits were the norm. That is, 85-95.
