cgdct was just stereotypical big eyed anime blobs until K-on made the characters cute. Compare Klannad and K-On to see what I mean.
Pic related. 2000s cgdct vs. 2010s cgdct. I know K-On was released in 2009 but it defined the 2010s look and can be defined as 2010s moreso than 2000s just like how the Simpsons defined the 1990s despite being released in 1989.

>>157556621
This is surprisingly accurate, except for YKK's low ranking.

It's difficult to give a high ranking to such an incomplete adaptation. I know there's a lot of us holding out hope for a complete adaptation some day.

Actually, I'll take that back. The manga was an absolute masterpiece. The OVAs were kind of mediocre in comparison.

>>157557232
You get used to the style of Hidamari after a while. It took me a long time to watch it because I thought the art style looked stupid. Same for Clannad/Afterstory. I loved both when I finally got over my aversion to the art styles and gave them a shot.

>>157557311
But then you might as well mention any number of SoL anime, not just cute girls shit. Yotsuba has a wider appeal than that.

The Azumangas are not meant to be 100% cute, moe-moe desu. They're supposed to be youthfully attractive, not quite adult-like beautiful, but still not necessarily ugly. They're supposed to be heavily exaggerated versions of real-life teenage girls, not pure otaku wank material.

I've been watching anime since the mid-eighties. I saw Macross before Robotech finished airing here. I had 4th generation bootleg betamax tapes of Armor Hunter Mellowlink. I watched every Brave series as they aired. I lived in Yokohama for ten years and waited IN QUEUE for the laserdisc release of the original To Terra. I've had lunch with Kunihiko Ikuhara and smoked a cigarette with Watanabe after a Seat Belts show. I've done it all. I've seen it all. I am a qualified expert.

Maid Dragon is THE greatest anime I have ever seen. Bar none. This is where the medium has been going since day one. From the very first cel, it was all leading to Maid Dragon.

A metaphor for the immigrant experience covering humanistic and social themes such as systematic sexism, family, loneliness, individuality, alienation, accepting and understanding others, adapting to society, appreciating the little moments in life, capturing the shortsightedness and transience of human existence and fitting in with society's expectations, this show will go down in history. It will change anime in a way not seen since Shogoki took her first steps in NGE.

Blame Hinoue Itaru from Key. KyoAni's animation directors actually toned down on the kawaii~uguu-ness in their adaptations of Kanon, Clannad, and even Air.

I'm not sure, I only just recently got back into reading manga. Stopped around the time the last Hidamari ova came out.

I always worried that SHAFT bullied her during Madoka and gave her another season of Hidamari as a sick thank you.

I wish she'd make a more Yuri based romance manga with actual relationships. I feel like she's wanted to for awhile. She talks about Yuri a lot and mentions how cute she thought highschool girls are.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

I don't believe that can be right, unless you expand the definition way beyond what I think you should. Sadly I haven't seen a lot of the 2000s anime, so I can't tell how many.

Also, there are two lineages of girls group SoL anime, comedy and iyashikei, and I personally think that maybe iyashikei can't be CGDCT, it's a comedy exclusive subgenre.
