will it ever be topped?
2011, 2012, 2014, 2016
There's nothing special about 2007 though except for that it was the first year of immediate fansubbing
If you told some nihonjin that 2007 is the greatest year of anime they'd say what? why 2007?
>>161523656

What was good about 2007?
>>161523710
>first year of immediate fansubbing
I have no idea when simul-fansubbing started, but it was already around in 2003.
>>161526215
It was the first time newfags came swarming to /a/.
Probably never. It was a once in a lifetime occurrence. I will forever cherish this year.
>>161526721
Before 2006-2007 as a fansubber you had to wait a few hours to even download raws from Share, (that was before gg bought their first Friio and started capturing shit themselves) and for many shows you had to wait a week or more to get fansubbed because so-called "quality" groups like Eclipse wasted time with stupid shit like endless TLC and hardsubbed karaoke
That's how the whole "speedsubbing" thing was born which in hindsight was a good thing as fansubs suddenly started coming out mere days after airing
>>161527011
Didnt newfag as term started in 2007 or was it before
>>161527535
>gg
Surely you mean Elistist Fags. ;^)
>>161527535
>Share
Weren't raw providers as part of the subgroup always a thing?
>mere days after airing
Are you from a parallel dimension?
Sure, waiting for the group to gets its job done was fucking annoying (and damn it how often has A-Keep driven me to download a raw), but it rarely took more than a day or two even in the early 00s.
>>161527591
That was before elitistfags
They had some guy named house/eeknay who was living in Japan and providing for multiple groups until he got a bit pissed off and started dropping shitty shows (obviously not the ones gg did) just because he was the only capper in the western fansubbing back then
>>161527882
>Weren't raw providers as part of the subgroup always a thing?
Whatever they meant as a "raw provider" back then was someone who could use Japanese P2P and download badly encoded raws
>>161527882
>but it rarely took more than a day or two
For a handful of the most popular shows maybe. Anything even slightly obscure and it could take much longer. If it was subbed at all. And there was a huge translation quality disparity between some of the speedsub and "quality sub" groups.
ZSZS was hell as a.f.k. dropped it as no group wanted to do all the signs.
>>161523656
What are you talking about? The only anime worth mentioning is Mononoke and maybe Baccano. Everything else was either mediocre or garbage.
>>161523704
the 2010's in general have been trash.
>>161528424
>For a handful of the most popular shows maybe.
Those are what I was talking about.
>Anything even slightly obscure and it could take much longer.
Yeah, Sensei no Jikan was a fucking mess.
Was that ever fully subbed? I simply watched it raw at some point.
>>161528615
>either mediocre or garbage
Heh. What is TTGL, Shinreigari, Kaiji, Seirei no Moribito, Dennou Coil, SZS, Terra e, Moyashimon, and many many others. Even disregarding 99% of the shows that aired in 2007, the mere fact that the greatest anime of all time, namely TTGL, aired in that time makes this year equally the greatest. It's simple logical deduction.
>>161528651
Sensei no ojikan got an english dub at some point with the ova's
>>161523710
It's TTGL, which means that stupid children like
>>161528900
think it was a remarkable year.
2014 was pretty great.
>>161528900
I'm going to say this once. Gurren Lagann is garbage and anything Imashi does as a director is reddit tier trash. The man is a great animator but he creates shit only 14 year old boys could enjoy but of he sprinkles in a little bit of moral or some sort philosophical meaning to this shows, they're automatically not shit to the autists who watch his works. Not even remotely close to being one the best shows ever created let alone a decent show.
There is no best year since anime don't change that much within a year. This is just a topic for wannabe nostalgiafags.
>>161529201
>2007
>nostalgia
It's only nostalgic if you're literally underage.
>>161529154
>>161529009
No, TTGL is objectively the greatest show to ever air on Japanese television.
>>161529325
Not nostalgia. Wannabe.
>>161529368
but it's shit.
Yes.
>>161528900
Honestly a lot of that is fucking trash. But hey. Your choice.
>>161529368
It's actually one of the worst mech shows I've ever finished.
>>161529325
2007 was 10yrs ago.
>>161529511
and? Even If you were 5 years old 10 years ago, you would still only be 15. What is your point?
>>161529368
You'll realize how dumb most super robot mecha shows are once you grow up
>>161529625
this.
>>161529625
Mech, and especially super robot shows, are fantastic. TTGL just happens to suck because Imaishi is an awful director.

Let this shit die. Also only virgins like TTGL. They are the epitome of LOLSORANDUMB meme kids.
>>161530582

2007 was a pretty good year.
OP's right, Lucky Star aired that year. Nothing has even come close to beating that by a wide margin.
>>161523656
2017
>>161530989
Why is that a lot newfags can't into 00s anime?
2008 was good too but I feel like I forgot about a lot of these mediocre shows at the time and only remember the significant ones.
>>161530989
95% is that is generic shit. You could literally do the same thing with any year and say it was the a good year.
>>161531096
Casshern Sins and Golgo 13 alone puts 2007 to shame.
Gurren Lagann is a show genetically engineered to appeal to MALspawn /v/edditors with no sense of sophistication who laud meme dialog, which supports upvote groupthink mentality and meme voice-acting with a good movie pandering reddit tier post-capeshit "entertainment" sensibilities and a meme aesthetic. TTGL is a meme at best and is rightfully deemed as pleb trash every time it gets brought up on /m/.

There was not a single good character in TTGL. Kabuto Kouji and Nagare Ryouma are basically immortal.
>>161530989
2007 wasn't even that good. I think I prefer 2008.
Also: Kaze no Stigma is from 2007? I always thought this show is way older.

How can you have read neither Mazinger nor Getter yet pretend to know any of the characters? Simon and Kamina are both cheap knockoffs of better characters, and neither are good.
>>161532499
With the first link the chain is forged. The first cancerous social media, the first dumbing down, binds us all, irrevocably.
It was a golden time for mecha at the very least. Gundam 00, Macross F, Code Geass, and Evangelion 1.0, there was a little bit of everything that year to satisfy a majority of mechafags, followed more to come after that year.
>>161532473

>>161532544
Mazinger is not that great. Go Nagai obviously didn't give a shit about it and eventually made it into episodic bullshit like the anime.
Getter Robo is cool but not as good as Gurren Lagann. Imaishi's style is just too good

Everyone needs to stop mentioning Code Geass, it's a 2006 show.
But yes, a good year. Haven't seen that much, but Seirei no Moribito and Dennou Coil are great, and also Lucky Star, Bamboo Blade, Bokurano, and I know a lot of people like Gurren Lagann a lot.
There's also some I haven't seen that are popular, like Hidamari Sketch and... uh I don't know.
Still, though, a great year.
Dennou Coil and Seirei no Moribito are better than the best from many years.
But 2011 is also considered good. Chihayafuru, Madoka, Steins Gate and a few more really popular shows (but that I didn't love)
>>161532473
>2006 was the beginning of the end
It seems as though the people that shit on 2007 haven't really watched much of it or are just shitposting. There's more than just TTGL and Lucky Star.
>>161539714
Shin Sekai Yori aired around 2011-2012-ish I think
>>161523656
>Code Geass

>TTGL
I think I'm going to have to agree with you.
>>161540539
SSY aired in 2012, so it can't be counted for 2011. But it's a strong pick if you want to argue in favour of 2012. Another strong 2012 anime is Hyouka.
A few more 2011 that I don't really love but I know many do are Nichijou, Mawaru Penguindrum, Hunter x Hunter, Fate Zero
>>161540650
Opps I didn't intend to include anime I haven't seen myself, ignore Hunter x Hunter, haven't seen that one.
But if we include those I guess you can add Usagi Drop as well.
>>161540571
Haruhi and Code Geass are 2006!
>>161540650
Ah! Yep SSY was pretty good, it's definitely right up there but Hyouka I found to be just above average at best. And yep, Fate Zero definitely.
>>161540688
You can include NHK to the 2006 argument as well.
>>161540650
Penguindrum was mediocre but everyone on this board will tell you otherwise.
>>161540827
If we are trying to make an argument about 2006, I really haven't seen much from that year but Utawarerumono was pretty okay I guess and a lot of people love Ouran High School Host Club even though I dislike it. Including things I haven't seen, maybe Gintama, Death Note and possibly Kemonozume but never paid attention to the last one just seen it on a recommendation chart so dunno.
>>161540827
For 2012, you can also add Joshiraku and Girls Und Panzer but neither are considered masterpieces I think but still good. I haven't seen Psycho Pass or the Yamato remake either, but they are also praised.
>>161540984
I found it to be pretty enjoyable, but not my favourite of the year. Probably too deep for me, didn't get Utena either.

2006-2007 were exceptional years in term of output and quality. It felt like the industry really recovered from the horrendous digital transition of the early 00's.

Aho Girl: Enoshima Edition
We made this Starship Troopers ripoff to fund some Yukinobu Hoshino adaptation on the side
And that's just what I watched. The year was packed with good stuff.
>>161547852
Not him, but I watched Imagawa's Shin Mazinger from 2009. It's literally my favourite mecha anime next to the Giant Robo OVA.
And I read the entirety of Ken Ishikawa's Getter Robo Saga. Strongest point is Go. Weakest is G.
We're getting a new Mazinger anime movie which acts as a sequel to the original later this year anyway

>>161546321
The most retarded shit I've read today
Mazinger is only popular in Super Robot Wars now.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=eE2esIcRhNQ
https://youtube.com/watch?v=3oUDrhwqkjQ
>>161548052
And all of those things are better than TTGL. Also, why are you referring to it as Ishikawa's saga? It's just referred to as Getter Robo. The rest that came after he died gets the special designations.
>>161548446
I think Shin Mazinger is only subjectively better purely because the plot doesn't go straight from a to b like in ttgl, but instead has twists and turns making it wholly unpredictable. The music, characters, voice acting were perfect.
But I say subjectively better, because it had a shitty budget, and not everyone's on board Imagawa's wacky storytelling.
>>161548595
Anyone who doesn't like Imagawa's storytelling isn't a robot fan.
>>161548741
Anyone who doesn't like Gurren Lagann isn't a robot fan.
>>161548827
Incorrect. Check any poll or magazine in Japan. In robot circles, no one actually gives a shit about TTGL.
The best way to describe Shin Mazinger is that it's Samurai Flamenco but with an actual goal and direction to go with the wackiness of it.
Also, shugoshin the guardian is still one of jam project's best songs.
>>161548858
They aren't robot fans.
>>161548858
If anyone cares about TTGL it's gonna be that quote. "Believe in me who believes in you." Best part of the show.
>>161548858
It's not surprising. TTGL was popular for being overly generic and appealed to the mass.
Mechfags look for more than just a rehash of an older series they've already seen with shounen tropes cranked up to the 11.
>>161548893
That's funny. I bought Obari artbooks at comiket and they have Mazinger and Getter in them, but no TTGL. Do you think Obari isn't a real fan of robots?
>>161548893
They are. There's a reason why TTGL was barely used in Super Robot Wars.
It just doesn't have a lot of appeal in giant robot circles.
>>161549085
Actually, the iteration of the characters and the plot of TTGL in the SRW games is far better than the show. It made me like it a lot more.
>>161548858
It's literally an anime paying homage to the mech genre and invited more people to watch shit old mech shows. In conclusion, regardless of your pathetic opinion, TTGL did your genre a favor
>>161548957
All that plus great characters and character development. I couldn't care less about the mech aspect of TTGL. They could have replaced that part and made it about turds and I'd still watch it and it'd be a thousand times better too so that mech fans like you can stop crying about it cause "muh classic mechs"
>>161548957
>Mechfags look for more than just a rehash of an older series they've already seen with shounen tropes cranked up to the 11.
No, no they don't. They only care about ancient series with nostalgia value. Nobody gives a shit about any actual new mecha series from the past 10 years
I'd agree just for Mononoke alone. Toei has not made another great anime since.
>>161523656
2011 was pretty good
>>161549150
I'm not crying. You are. You're the one who's saying that mecha fags give a shit about ttgl. Your response makes it clear that you aren't a mechafag, so you wouldn't understand the appeal of something like Mazinger anyway.
>>161549273
2011 was my favorite because it also had lots of mistery shows I enjoyed like Dantalian, Gosick and Un-GoThe threads were also great
>>161549150
>All that plus great characters and character development. I couldn't care less about the mech aspect of TTGL.
Thanks for proving the point. As a mechafag, I care deeply about how the mecha look.
TTGL is generally just unappealing to look at.
But if you think mechafags don't care about great characters and development, then you're wrong, because some of my favourite mecha shows are ones with the best character development.
I don't think TTGL had great character development anyway, so I'm not sure what you're on about.
>>161549319
The appeal of Mazinger is nostalgia. There is nothing special about it. It's one of Nagai's weaker works and he clearly didn't give a shit about it, eventually just copying episodic plots from the anime and leaving it without an ending until Great Mazinger, which is a piece of shit.
>>161549150
Do you think you've actually made anything even resembling a point? All you're doing is screaming and showing off your low powerlevel.
>>161549185
That's because not many new series are being made that aren't CGshit. Everyone loved GBF.
>>161549475
>There is nothing special about it.
That's just like your opinion.
>The appeal of Mazinger is nostalgia.
If only. I discovered Mazinger after TTGL had already aired, and I didn't know TTGL was even a thing.
I like Mazinger for its demonic theme.
But let's be clear, what the fuck are you talking about anyway? My point is that giant robot circles generally don't give a shit about TTGL. You're the only one bringing up your fanboyism.
>>161549475
Also, you're acting like an obnoxious TTGL fanboy. The mecha genre was doing fine before 2007, and still does fine to this day.
Remember Gundam SEED? Code Geass? These shows had way bigger influences on the mecha genre than TTGL.
>>161549514
Point is mech fags can suck my cock
>>161549450
Grew up watching these classic mechs. Didn't give two shits about them except for the mech aspect. Don't get me wrong, I'm somewhat a casual mech fan but I wouldn't really call TTGL a mech anime. It only used mech as a medium for its story. Calling it a mech anime is like saying The Last of Us is a zombie game.
>>161549793
You're so fucking stupid I'm actually having a hard time believing you can get past captcha on your own.
>>161549820
Takes one to know one, asshole
>>161549852
No really, you're trying to argue things about the fanbase that are just wrong, then you're switching to "fuck you TTGL is awesome!" You're actually retarded and can't make a point.
>yfw this poorly animated show by some no-names in the anime industry has had a far greater impact on Japanese culture and achieved unprecedented popularity than any show in 2007, let alone any other year
>>161549793
>Point is mech fags can suck my cock
But I don't care about your ttgl fanboyism. I'm just here to refute your dumb post about how people who are into mecha give a shit about TTGL.
>I wouldn't really call TTGL a mech anime. It only used mech as a medium for its story. Calling it a mech anime is like saying The Last of Us is a zombie game.
Ok now you're officially retarded.
Do you realise that nearly every mecha anime isn't just about the mecha? Yeah, surprising huh? Something like Mazinger can be best described as mecha, superpower, comedy, drama, action, mythology, some "science fiction"
It falls into several genres just like every other show on earth. It really isn't different from TTGL.
>>161523656
Overrated year is overrated. 2007, not so good.
>>161549885
He isn't me you retard
>>161549938
Your point is impossible to prove because you've arbitrarily defined people who don't care about TTGL as "the real mecha fans" and people who do care about it as "the fake mecha fans"
>>161550037
Ask Battletech fags and Transformers fags and see if they care about TTGL.
>>161549938
>people who are into mecha give a shit about TTGL.
Yeah, you guys can suck my dick as well so the feeling is mutual so let's move on.
>It falls into several genres
I'm not talking about genre you dumb fuck. I'm saying the story can be yanked out of the mecha genre and it can be just as interesting. The mecha and sci-fi was the chosen medium to carry its god-tier story about heroism and to juxtapose how jews were literally guarded by 5 guards to the gas chamber and not a single one had the idea of fighting back knowing they're walking to their deaths.
>>161550037
Or you could look at games, magazine polls, and the mech section at comiket as well as director interviews about which series inspired them.
>>161550241
Define interesting, because you know ttgl's evolution plot was lifted from the Getter Robo saga manga.
Is Getter not a mecha series now? According to you it isn't and that's just stupid.
>>161549208
I liked Kado a lot. Except for the usage of too much 3DCG that made me initially drop it like 2 or 3 minutes in.
If you did the same, give it another go.
And people wonder why /m/ is a containment board
I just want another year of Mecha
>>161550429
You still haven't made your point, ttgl faggot.
Make your point or shut the fuck up.
>>161550478
>Retard who knows nothing about mechs pretends to know about mechs
>People who know what they're talking about tell him to fuck off
Not seeing the problem here.
>>161550241
Holy shit are you pretending to be a retarded ttgl fag?
Because it's working.
>>161550247
This.
Mechafags in Japan don't give two fucks about ttgl. Stop pretending that ttgl had a huge impact on the genre, because it really didn't.
>>161550515
Go back there
>>161550761
/m/ isn't a containment board. That would imply it split off from another board, but that wasn't the case.
You still haven't made your point and you're being a retard.

Eureka Seven did it better and had a point to it besides LE RETRO ANIME
Get over it, TTGL is trash.

It doesn't even have characters, it has walking memes.
Get over it, people that actually like the genre enjoy something like E7, while only 'LMAO IS THAT A FUCKIN JOJO REFERENCE' redditors care about TTGL.

>>161551849
>Eureka Seven did it better and had a point to it besides LE RETRO ANIME
Fair enough dude. I can respect your opinion. Eureka was pretty good. But these mech fags with their elitist mentality thinking they're better because they liked obscure animes from the 70's can suck my dick.
>>161532094
Code gayass is not deep. Political fiction is shallow inherently. LOGH is not deep, for the same reasons. Get over yourself and your DEEP POLITICAL INTRIGUE shit
>>161552212
You're such a fuck faggot.
>>161552212
Mazinger and Getter Robo are not fucking obscure in the slightest. Gundam is not obscure. Macross is not obscure. Votoms is not obscure. Fucking Ideon isn't even obscure. Please, give me some names of 'obscure animes from the 70s' that are constantly posted on /m/.
Liking some of the most popular series in the medium isn't elitist, it is populist. TTGL is irrelevant, so if anything, that is elitist.
>Gurren Lagann
>Macross F
>Code Geass
>Gundam 00
>Broken Blade
>Evangelion 1.0
>>161552212
Do you seriously consider Mazinger Z to be an obscure anime? The fuck? It was the SAO and Attack of Titan of its time.
Grendizer had like 100% ratings in France. Seriously, which obscure show are we talking about here?
>>161553334
It was bigger than those given the influence it had on the industry.
I haven't been around anime for like 6 or 7 years
Did they ever make a season of K-On?
Season 3 of World Only God Knows?
Did Bleach finally end?
Give me one good anime since 2010
It was a memorable year, at least for me
>people shitting on ttgl
seems /a/ still hasnt grown out of that childish "oh you've probably never heard of it" phase, hating on anything the moment it gets even remotely popular in the west

TTGL isn't popular, it's only popular with redditors and jojotards.
My favorite series was much more popular, here too. Get fucking over yourself you shit-in-pants-on-head teenage fuckwad
You 45 year old losers like to pretend that you're still dumb angry 15 year olds, eh?
>>161553555

How can I be elitist if my favorite series was enormously popular before it grew out of favor? I was fucking watching it when it was airing, and I wasn't 4 like you with TTGL.
>>161553487
>TTGL
>popular
The only reason people even remember it is because ttglfags wouldn't shut up about it.
During 2007, I didn't hear one single normie talk about ttgl. A few years ago, everyone was talking about SAO and Attack of Titans. TTGL is pretty much a forgotten relic at this point, as with the rest of Imaishi's shit. The dude is trying so hard to stay relevant, but I don't know anyone in real life who's actually into his shit anymore.

>>161553712
It's been 27 years since 1990, anon. TV ratings aren't the most important indicator for a series in the modern era, but what are the highest rated anime shows from between 1991 to now?

That's because nothing after 1990 can match those ratings when there were less channels available then.
