Anyone else feel like Anime peaked during the mid-2000s?
but 2011 was the best year of anime yet
1572 was the best year for anime.
I don't really care when anime "peaked" as long as good anime continues to be made.
>>155223644
Anime's been always shit.
>>155223644
That's pretty subjective. I think ideas and risks peaked in the mid 2000s. These days it's easier to play it safe and adapt unfinished LNs.
>>155223733
But there are actually few LN adaptations every season. Even originals tend to outnumber them.
>>155223696
Does it though?
>>155223644
I'd say 80s because there was more money and talent and creativity then.
>>155223644
Nah. I'd say average quality of anime has remained the same for the past 20~30 years. It does seem like exceptionally good stuff is more rare nowadays compared to before, but the really bad stuff in the 90s/2000s was even worse than the bad stuff now somehow.
The only thing I really miss is the actiony standalone high-budget movies(especially sci-fi). It's almost entirely romance stuff right now or entries to existing series with slight production value upgrade.
>>155224688
>Does it though?
Yup, each season has a good anime coming out. Last year we had Rakugo, Luluco, Mob Psych, FLip Flappers and now we have LWA. TV anime is doing pretty great.
90s probably have my favorite shows with Eva, Lain or Utena, but each decade had some great shit.
>>155225843
Maybe I'm getting to unrealistic, those pretty much all disappointed. I like LWA though, feels like it's made with a different mentality than most anime TV. I don't think I have a favourite decade, I enjoy a lot from pretty much any point.
>>155223644
idk about "peaked" but I love early/mid-2000's anime
daily reminder that Code Geass was the greatest anime that ever aired and nothing will ever top the shitstorm and fun of GEASS SUNDAYS ever again
>>155225843
>Last year we had Rakugo, Luluco, Mob Psych, FLip Flappers and now we have LWA
but /a/ told me all of those were terrible
who dis
Instant you
>>155227017
I can confirm that Flip Flappers was fairly bad. Wouldn't call it terrible, but it is quite disappointing. Don't go in expecting much unless your standards are fairly low. (meaning you are only looking for something "better than Naruto")
>late 90s
>mid-00s
>late 00s
>early 10s
There was a really good run from about 2006 to 2009. We haven't had such a good four-year run since.
Haruhi
Black Lagoon
Death Note
TTGL
Hayate no Gotoku
Baccano
Kara no Kyoukai
Clannad
Toradora
Kaiji
Spice and Wolf
Clannad AS
FMAB
Monogatari
>>155227199
Clannad is shit though, and Monogatari is incredibly pretentious fanservice.
>>155223644
Anyone else feel like children's entertainment peaked when you were 12 years old?
>>155223644
>>155223666
2007 was the year of anime. Shit was lit. I think during that time I dropped like thousands on dvds and merchandise.
>>155227113
it won't be the same :(
>>155227046
>>155227078
>the annoying shit from nadia
Wow, fuck you
Nadia is "the annoying shit from nadia"
Marie is a angel.
>>155227369
The Golden Age of anything is 14
>>155229341
All of my favorite anime is shit that I watched when I was 14 so I can't disagree with this
>>155223644
Nadia and Eva are from the 90's and those are the best series from your pic.
bullshit, anime peaked in the 90s, you are only watching rehashes of those times
I LIKE BLEECH CUZ DA MAN MAKES ME PEEPEE FEEL FUNNY
>>155224429
Nadia had good ideas but poor execution. Africa doesn't count.
2004-2006 was the best year for anime
>pic related
>>155227046
Literal pedobait.
>>155223644
But that's objectively wrong, the 2010s have been the best year of anime, if you want me to be more exact then between 2007 - 2013.
>>155230175
>Africa doesn't count
Nothing in the history of anime will ever top Nadia lusting for BBC. Nothing zilch nada
>>155229745
>he still hasn't realized that 4chan is hell
>>155230308
Name three worthwhile shows that came out in 2012 or 2013.
>>155232368
Not him, and I can't, but 2013 had a fantastic Ghibli double-header. There aren't many worthwhile shows in any small period anyways.
>>155223644
Dying media that now spends more time as advertisements for LNs and manga then telling a solid, finished story.
>>155227199
Back then it was easy to tell the good anime appart from the rest. Everyone watched the same thing and everyone would have more or less the same list of "favorite anime from the 2000s" like the one you posted.
Now it's hard to do that so people watch a lot of mediocre anime while missing the good things. I agree with >>155224838
So your opinion on a particular season/year/decade depends on how you define a "good period for anime". If you consider that having a couple of masterpieces is what makes a good year, then you're most likely to prefer the older decades. But if what you want is a lot of good to decent shows then the 2010s are the best.
As someone who watch a lot of anime I prefer to have plenty of good things over a few masterpieces and a lot of shit, so the 2010s are pretty cool in my opinion.
>>155232368
Shinsekai Yori, Kyousogiga, GuP. And that's only from 2012.
>>155233538
The no taste award
>>155233675
All bad
>>155233727
Oh, you're just looking to shitpost.
>>155233765
It is inconceivable to you that those shows may not be considered good by someone?
>>155233727
>will call anything shit
k
>>155233886
Perhaps if you named good shows I wouldn't call them shit
>>155233083
Anime is more alive than ever.
>>155233994
>hey're objectively better than Miyazaki trash and EVA already
this
>>155233994
If you truly believe that, and aren't just shitposting, then I don't think there's any potential for discussion here
>>155234130
Because they lack good qualities? None are up to the standards of writing, animation, creativity etc. established by better animations that precede them. I don't see those as worthwhile.
>>155223644
I have been thinking about this too. I wouldn't say peaked though. I mean look at the film monoliths of the 70's-90's like Akira, Ghibli films etc. I mean I'd be hard pressed to find better buildings crashing down than what were presented in Akira.Though i am referring to the art alone.
Newer shit like FLCL and TTGL were masterpieces in terms of storytelling and style. The first of their kind really. I don't care how pretty/technical older shit was, you wouldn't find either of those shows back then. They were pretty groundbreaking when you think about it. Even if the themes were used before, the execution of said themes was fresh as FUCK. And still are really.
>>155227199
Monogatari was within that time range? Damn i'm old.
>>155234517
Should creativity not be valued?
Do standards not exist?
Miyazaki's Nadia?
Good god no
Early-mid 2000s was hands down the worst era of anime since it took off in the 60s. That's not to say thatthere aren't some good shows in there, but for basically 5-7 years after digital coloring happened the industry was a fucking mess.
Late 2000s started cleaning shit up and things aren't half bad now.
>>155224429
Neither Nadia nor Eva is a mid 2000s anime m8
>>155224688
80s OVAs are unquestionably where all the money was, if nothing else. The art and subject material also appeals to me personally; mid-late 80s are undoubtably my favorite era of anime. We're in a pretty good place right now though, you just have to separate the chaff and all.
>>155234667
I don't think creativity is a myth, and I don't think it necessarily clashes with the idea of technical standards. I don't even know how you could reject those, obviously we have differing values when it comes to this stuff.
>>155227260
Anytime anyone calls an anime pretentious there is a 90% chance that means it's good
Will pick up Monogatari
>>155229341
I was 14 in 2002 and I think that's the start of anime's worst years
>>155232368
Shinsekai Yori, Monogatari,Oreimoand some of the best SoL/CGDCT ever. If you need those piece of ass that got stuck in my boot just ask me.
>>155227199
Also:
Seirei no Moribito
Dennou Coil
Mononoke
Darker than Black
Zetsubou Sensei
Hidamari Sketch
Natsume
Nodame Cantabile
The early 2000s were pretty bad though, except for a few standout shows. Also was the worst time for visuals in anime.
>>155235411
How is it a myth?
>>155235190
Film, too. Totoro, Grave of the Fireflies, Akira, Night on the Galactic Railroad, Patlabor, Angel's Egg, Nausicaa, Honneamise. Lots of great stuff from back then. The beginning of monolithic studios like Ghibli and Gainax, too. I think the 80s were really important in anime's development, more so than any other time.
>>155235470
Whatever you say, anon.
>peaked in mid-2000s
OPM begs to disagree.
>>155235663
In what way is Ghibli not a great studio?
>>155235855
Oh
>>155227046
Girl who gets impregnated by a man more than twice her age.
>>155235663
>hating on Ghibli
do you lack a soul?
>>155223644
No.
You are the one and only.
>>155223644
No, you're just wallowing in nostalgia and cherry picking things that are good or provoked an emotional response from you, versus the sea of shit they contemporized with.
The truth is every day is the best day for whatever you're doing, because it's time have an adventure and discover something new.
>>155237234
>yotsuba would be 19 years old when keeping with current time
time plz
>>155235747
Mob Psycho had better animation.
>>155223644
>not 1986-1991
>>155223644
Nah, that's just when you found anime because you're a newfag.
Anime peaked during the late 90s, then became shit during the early 00s, then got good again during the late 00s, then became shit again in the 10s.
>>155238750
>Anime peaked during the late 90s
Right when they started to save money on visuals AND the story
>>155235247
it's actually really good, it's only one season that is legit fucking shit
>>155223644
"Peaked," /a/? Let me tell you something. Anime hasn't even begun to peak. And when it does peak, you'll know. Because It's going to peak so hard, that everyone of you faggots will feel it.
>>155235247
Monogatari isn't pretentious fanservice. It's just fanservice.
>>155239157
It's "artsy" fan service which /a/ took to mean pretentious.
>>155223666
name one good anime
>>155223644
Who is that chick with a sniper rifle in a bra.
>>155239048
Never gonna reach a peak if we keep going downhill like this
>>155241602
Go back to /v/. Jesus.
>>155241714
Or you could tell me you know it won't hurt you.

/tv/ is the designated shit board, not /v/. Keep up with the times kid.
>>155223644
Wy waifu and one of my daughterus came from this time period.
Same show too.
Good times.
>>155241814
You're as bad as him for spoonfeeding, "kid". Enjoy new /a/ being a cesspool of normalfaggotry.
>>155241814
Thank you.
>>155241853
lol elitish newfag /a/
I remember a time this place was just glad that you were an anime fan that didn't come from Naruto
>>155241951
No, you don't. But I'm guessing you found this place in 2010 and think you're one of the oldfags now.
>>155241989
I've been here since 2003 you little baby
>>155223644
2013 was a really good year
>>155223644
Why did Gainax have the best girls?
1995-2013 was the golden age and we'll never get such variety, quality and fun ever again.
>>155223644
ruined with flcl bullshit
