I don't get why the many sequels of psycho pass would still be labelled as "original" when they are just cash grabs from a sucessful anime from 13 years ago.
Same goes for Free, revue starlight, precure, and the many movies like mononoke, shirobako or fucking eva. Is remaking a story from 1995 slightly differently with the same characters, settings, themes really "original".
The only real anime original shows from this decade so far are:
Odd Taxi, GBC, Vivy, Great pretender, lycoris, buddy daddies, sk8, apo hotel, sonny boy, ID, akudama, akiba maid war, wonder egg priority, BNA, Appare-Ranman!, listeners, decadence, Kamisama ni Natta Hi, Godzilla: S.P, Aquatope, Vampire in the Garden, do it yourself, Magical Destroyers, Bokura no Ame-iro Protocol, Metallic Rouge, Yuuki Bakuhatsu Bang Bravern, Yorukura, Shuumatsu Train, Astro Note, Mayonaka Punch, Na Nare Hana Nare, Zenshuu, Sorairo Utility, Momentary Lily, Lazarus and of course Edgerunners. (I excluded most moe and especially fujobait anime because they are usually original anyway and don't matter in the discussion)
Overall I'd say this decade was relatively decent in terms of quality. Odd Taxi and Sonny Boy are both great shows that really could have only been created in this decade.
The main thing I can take from this lineup compared to the 2010s would be that originals used to be way more talked about and important than they are now. Easiest example is PA Works, they used to put out blockbuster after blockbuster of popularity in the early 2010s with Charlotte, Nagi no asu kara and Shirobako. Nowadays they still create originals but most of them are either terrible or seem to be passion projects without much incentive to be popular at all.
We're far from having any original defining an era like Code Geass or Kill la Kill did which is a huge shame but just a testament of the current industry. The most popular original this decade is still a game spin off.
