Anime hasn't created a better girl since 2013

Flying Witch was good.
I also enjoyed New Game, but it's probably not that good objectively.
For winter season, Grimgar was good, and it was not the only one, I also enjoyed other anime at times, for example Erased and even Dimension W.

>>149389086
Nothing will every reach TTGL and KlK.

>>149389086
This year just Rakugo, Luluco and Mob.
This season is terrible, nothing above mediocre.

>>149389086
Servant x Service was pretty good

Luluco, Keijo and Flip Flappers are genuinely good.

Flying witch was comfy as fuck, and color me impressed I'm actually enjoying Regalia(Lolis and mechas) I can't point out exactly what I like about regalia, but I guess it just clicks despite it making little sense.

There is so much good stuff from pre-y2k on my watchlist that i don't give a shit
Also klk is basically Imaishi jerking off over what gainax did before him, all the good bits were ripped from ttgl/eva whatever

>>149389818
KlK has little to to with previous Gainax works, the sources of ispiration were others.

Cross Ange for wild ride experience
now Flip Flappers and Keijo are pretty interesting in their own weird way

Space Dandy and Ping Pong and Ghibli.
Nothing else good in my opinion. This year and last were terrible.

Luluco

>>149390119
Overall tone and plot points of the show felt pretty similar to ttgl, moreso than eva. The clothing being a spacefaring race that advances humanity to sentience is a pretty common thing in scifi but the way it's handled is similar to those shows.
I agree it had other influences as well, but most of those are too common to point to one specific thing (the generic af story of her father, senketsu being an empathic armor (though it is more often the weapon i'll admit), the 'tournament' structure from every battle shounen ever etc) and those two stood out the most to me.

Nice rec thread faggot.

>>149390615
>Overall tone and plot points of the show felt pretty similar to ttgl
Not really, TTGL is more comedic at the beginning and more dramatic in the second half than KLK ever was.
I guess it has the same kind of structure with first a second half that mirrors each others and shocking revelations at 2/3 of the show.
>The clothing being a spacefaring race that advances humanity to sentience
That was ripped straight from 2001, there was even a visual reference.
As for the rest of the plot point you mentioned, many of them are from Mazinger (that was ispiration for Eva too) and Cutie Honey. Then there are other Nagai works like Devilman, Kekko Kamen and Shameless School, then Utena, Blazing Transfert Student and the usual Dezaki series.

>>149389086
Flip Flapping, since that's the last thing I watched today.

>>149390948
Point taken, but the original argument of KLK being derivative still stands.
On a side note, is Mazinger worth watching? I know it's influence is pretty widespread, but on its own is it a Beatles situation where it did a lot of things first or is it unique enough even considering its derivates? Because i have the feeling it's the former, in which case i just don't want to watch it

>>149389086
Sound Eupho. Also, I didn't even like Kill La Kill.

>>149391178
Gainax has been about otakus taking bits from their favorites and putting them together since the beginning. It doesn't get more derivative than Gunbuster.
For Go Nagai, you should always read the manga. The anime adaptions are always watered down and neutered compared to the originals.

Only with crabstick subs.

>>149389405
But which one was better?

>>149389086
Kill la Kill was fine. Nothing amazing. The one "recent" anime I enjoyed was Heavy Object, a series I only picked up because of curiosity of the extremely hot Froleytia (or however the fuck you spell her name) but ended up absolutely loving it because of completely different reasons. Those reasons were the absolutely based bro MCs, Qwenthur and Hevia. A truly awesome bromance and their crazy tactics and guts.I remember one episode that took place at a dam and the two of them come with a plan over radio and say the exact same thing to each other and I pumped my fists in "Fuck Yeah!" moment. I highly recommend checking it out.

>>149391600
Putting pieces together is fine imo, if the way you put them together works in an original way. I don't really have an example in anime because, well, i'm still going through the great older stuff.
I'll have a go at the Mazinger manga, thanks.

When is their next big show? Will they ever top KLK?

/a/ has been saying anime is now shit ever since 4chan was created.

Therefore, anime is not "losing its way" because it has always been shit.

>>149389086
But I didn't enjoy Shit la shit.

Anime ratings are significantly down from 2005-2008 and 2011-2014.

>>149393425
It's interesting if you skip the rakugo parts.

>>149389423
Rakugo is just fujoshi bait. Boring as fuck and horrid characters.

Anyways, I'll go with NGNL for pure fun. Was the first time in my life I'd ever went back and rewatched an episode/movie right after finishing it.

Do manga adaption count?

Test

I didn't like Kill La Kill
My favorite recent anime has to be Mob Psycho 100; stellar adaptation and stand alone anime

Citizen Kane is overrated. Why should I give a shit about some rich asshole being unhappy?

Also, going that far back, you have to make sure to adjust viewership numbers to the population size.

Teekyuu

I don't know how anyone can consider KLK a good show. The animation was garbage. The plot was generic and predictable to the point where it had powerlevels and a tournament arc. The attempts at slapstick weren't any good either. It certainly isn't the best show in the last five years or whatever you claim it is.

Satsuki was great though. Too many good girls trapped in bad shows.

Strange, I have enjoyed multiple (TONS) shows since KLK. The amount of people in this thread who think KLK was anything but flavor of the month garbage is astounding.

Next thing people are going to start saying it has good writing, which I think at the same time the 4 horseman from Revelations should come down and slaughter the earth.

Kill la Kill is the worst anime I've ever seen. Entertaining, it was not. It's just a poor excuse for western cartoony physics and piss-poor fanservice. Trigger really dropped the ball on it. After that, they scrambled for the most cliche of harem anime. It's an indication of how disappointed they were with KLK's performance.

>>149405554
>Entertaining, it was not.
hahahahaha what the fuck sort of gay as fag bitch writes like that. hahahahahah eat shit you fuck

>>149402536
It was all style, no substance. Ryuko is just a shitty character that never develops beyond muh revenge. Mako was an annoying retard. Satsuki was a complete jobber.

>>149405172
Anon, this is literally a thread that starts with the assumption that people only rarely enjoy anime. Why the fuck are you surprised that it attracted /v/ cancer?

>>149405554

The fanservice in Kill la Kill is a parody of fanservice, and not genuine serious fanservice. Kill la Kill just a very effective commentary on anime as a medium and that's one of the ways it does it. It presents the same ideas as other anime in a way that isn't as cringey because it feels like a statement of intent rather than a grab for popularity. Kill la Kill has no modesty whatsoever

>>149389086
>Kill le Kill
Holy shit this was garbage, brought half of reddit over as well while it aired.

>>149389086

KlK really wanted to be TTGL and fell short of it. I thought the idea of setting the bar THAT low was to make it easy to meet your own expectations but I think Trigger gives themselves too much credit, but they'll probably have a hard time finding a worse anime to imitate for their next blunder.

True. Simon and Ryuuko are true gifts to anime in general
