New anime is good. There are countless good shows made in the late 2010s and early 2020s that are of high quality like 3-gatsu no lion, Non Non Biyori Nonstop, Umumusume, Ousama Ranking, Made In Abyss, Onimai, Frieren, etc. Anyone who doesn't like new anime likely doesn't know what they're talking about and should be disregarded as a newfag who just got into anime and is still catching up on old things, or has nostalgia for toonami. Looking back, there are very few shows I have a genuine fondness for versus the variety we have now.
Additionally, manga is arguably the best it has ever been. I am following over 40 ongoing manga and many of them are timeless classics in the making.
>>280257092 (OP)plap shinobu cunny and then give her headpats after
>>280257092 (OP)This is dollar store level bait
I'm sadly not following that much manga these days for (reasons).
>There are countless good shows made in the late 2010s and early 2020s that are of high quality
I agree, there have been really good anime this decade.
>>280257092 (OP)>many of them are timeless classics in the makingMoments before disaster
>>280257092 (OP)But.... bikinis are banned from anime due to Ishiba and Korean corpos pressure.... no anime last season had bikinis. No anime this season will have bikinis.
>>280257209Every last word of that post is true. You are a crab in a bucket. The issue is the poor source of information on 4chan. People disregard seasonals and they are never discussed once they are over, and manga dailies are all slop like world trigger. This leads to a board culture that is lazy and ignorant. I think people keep it this way on purpose so they can prop up shit like one piece and naruto. No one would tolerate that stuff if they knew what was really out there. Your depression and demoralization is a product of the crabs you surround yourself with.

>>280257092 (OP)I agree that there are plenty of good anime these days, but your taste is so incredibly shit that I'm just going to write you off as a retard and ignore everything you say anyways.

>>280257092 (OP)Except for the last paragraph, I agree. I don't really think there is enough timeless classics in the making publishing right now.
i argue that a whole bunch of cash, attention, and collaboration of talent has expanded anime. So we have more content and more stuff.
half of the time i always see these new studio from the start of 2020

>>280257612No one that likes One Piece should be taken seriously. I don't know how anyone can look at the last 400 chapters of One Piece and not want to rope immediately. People like this should not be here.

>>280258163That's silly, there are plenty of threads about shows from before then.
>>280258187>That's silly, there are plenty of threads about shows from before then.No, there are plenty of insular and repetitive generals that are very rapidly stagnating the board. Your presence is poisonous.

>>280258198It doesn't have to be one or the other. A lot of older anime left lasting impact and people are constantly going back go rediscover good series that might have gone under the radar. Just the 90s-00s alone have a lot to discuss and post, cute girls and all.

>people are constantly going back go rediscover good series that might have gone under the radarNo, there are no "hidden gems". Only newfag millennials going through a midlife crisis and trying to reinvent themselves believe this.
>Just the 90s-00s alone have a lot to discuss and postAlready discussed it to death 20 years ago.
It's very boring and intrusive, like its constantly summer.
Will the crusty trannyjanny delete this meta thread like xhe did the Dandadan thread about zoomers winning or will xhe keep it up because xhe personally agrees with it?
the overwhelming majority of currently serialized manga are garbage. but that's only because there is much more manga being serialized than the average /a/non can comprehend. and on top of that, the ones that get translated are isekai garbage.
manga is objectively better than anime in every way, so it's a real shame that there are so few mangafags on /a/. i think people only read manga on this board if there's a storytime thread for it.
>>280258312>so it's a real shame that there are so few mangafags on /a/Dailies forever ensured there never will be. The people those threads attracted are dumb as shit.
>>280258312to make things easier would your be content with a 'genre' thread rather than a storytime thread
>>280258344anything that isn't about a specific series is a "general" (isekai general is allowed because reasons)
>>280258307Do you want it deleted because you disagree with it
>>280258237Onimai is very good and a huge portion of the best animators in the industry worked on it.

Anyways this is now a Shinobu thread
I wish my standards were this low.
>>280258809>look at this painting of a turd, it's the most exquisitely painted turd in history!
>>280258937What's wrong with it? It's a delightful commentary on immense societal pressure preventing men from actually growing up.
>>280257092 (OP)>New anime is good>FrierenThis is my favorite part of the bait
>>280257092 (OP)Anime, being a visual medium, but progressively getting shittier and shittier tier animation is the only problem I have with modern shows, really. I don't know who's to blame and why they think cutting costs on animation of all things is acceptable, but there's ultimately no reason to watch anime now over reading the source material (unless it's an original).
>>280258951...for one episode. Then it's bland indulgence in ageplay fantasies for 4 hours, with the fantastic message that it's okay to put estrogen in your egg sibling's food and for grown men to be and hang out with little girls.
>>280259033>...for one episode.Nope, the entire anime is about Mahiro's growth as a manchild.
>>280259021>progressively getting shittier and shittier tier animationUh this definitely isn't true, old shows by and large have atrocious animation. Additionally, most old animators are still around, like dragon ball super *mostly* has the same animators as dragon ball z and they're animating the same exact way, people just realize how shit it is now compared to other modern anime. The only guys that are gone from the team are the ones who did close-ups, who moved to animating pokemon.
>>280258812I prefer snail.
>>280259211I don't know what's your point of reference.
And I wouldn't call old animation atrocious. Less detailed, if anything. An older low-budget show still looks magnitudes better than modern seasonal slop. At least, it didn't try to fake its quality.
I'm not an animator, so I don't know the terms I should use to describe the problem I have with modern anime. It's just that I want to gouge my eyes out when I watch a new show. Doesn't mean there are no exceptions, too. Usually, the budget is the problem. I just don't like how its being distributed now.
Shows like Frieren is what a modern anime should look on average (for the medium to retain any value).
And if you think what MAPPA makes looks good, more power to you, I guess.
>>280257842>Touge OniDidn't need to read the rest, your taste in manga is impeccable.
>>280257803This has the "Black teen invents a new PC" meme vibe to it.
>>280259021Animation quality is definitely not getting worse. I'd blame the recent mainstream adoption of anime on the fact that the quality is so good now even with minor studios. Jojo's managed to multiply its fanbase just by being adapted a second time with modern animation quality where before its anime decades ago was uncared for. Even in the 2000-2010 era a lot of shows like Book of Bantorra or floundered because they weren't by the few good studios like Bones, Madhouse Gainax etc. The sheer number of people who watch several seasonal anime nowadays rather than the current biggest battle shounen (whether or not its a good thing) is in itself a testament to how much better animation across the board has gotten.
>>280257092 (OP)Yeah even the worst seasons lately have 1 surefire premiere and 1 or 2 pleasant surprises. Anne Shirley has been great and it shouldn't be surprising once you know it's the staff behind Your Name
>>280257092 (OP)>New anime is good.Is this "new anime" in the room with us right now?
New anime is good, but it isnโt what I fell in love with in the 90s. I miss the older otaku sensibilities, the cel aesthetic, the designs.
>>280261092Newfags that just use anime to replace the hole the western industry left wouldn't get it.
>>280257092 (OP)>3-gatsu no lion, Non Non Biyori Nonstop, Umumusume, Ousama Ranking, Made In Abyss, Onimai, FrierenYou're only listing the big ones, there are plenty of others:

>inb4 "fell for the rec thread"Yes, and fuck you. We need more actual anime/manga discussion here instead of pseudo-general #10000 and seasonal posting.
>>280257092 (OP)Based Shinoposter. I've only seen one potentially bad Shinobu fan in my life. Other than that, nearly every single Shinobu fan seems to be based beyond belief.
The tourists went back to just consuming shounen, but for some reason they stick around here and bitch and cry.

>>280257092 (OP)>3-gatsu no lion, Non Non Biyori Nonstop, Umumusume, Ousama Ranking, Made In Abyss, Onimai, FrierenAnime is a visual medium and all of these look worse than old anime that were aesthetically mediocre for their time. Are you watching them for the writing? Just read a book nigga lmao
>Noooooooooooo you can't like anime!
t. /a/
>>280257092 (OP)Of that list, I only watched Friedan and Ousama, but if those two are among the top names you can think I donโt think the rest of your opinion is valid.
The only thing good about Ousama is the aesthetics. And while the fist half of Frieren was definitely good, the second was just a generic chunky exam copy and turning it into the thousandth battle shonen that treats magic as an individual power that are unique to each person
>>280262035*frieren
*chuunin
There are less good things than there were in the early 2010s and the industry is no longer the buffet that it was at that point in time where you could spend an entire day trying out new shows and end up picking up all of them.
Fall 2010 was the peak of anime and we'll never get it back again.

>>280262939Seriously, seasonal watching was actually worthwhile back then. Keeping up with all the series and their threads was so much fun.
>>280257092 (OP)>Made In AbyssBased appreciator of my sosuwife's anime and manga.
>>280262939The only good anime during that entire season is kiss x sis, where do poseur faggots like this come from? The whole season was just quirky shitpost shows. There is not a single show that season I would consider a classic or go back and rewatch and it was also the year shaft released the worst and most boring anime they ever made. It's no wonder this place is so shit and boring now if this is who's running the show.
>>280261715>won't stop people from using their eyesThis is one of those "close ups". If you check sakugabooru, the key animator for this scene works on pokemon now.
>>280262035>The only thing good about Ousama is the aesthetics.You realize Ousama Ranking is a fairy tale made by a radical right wing japanese nationalist right, and there is a lot of underlying messages reflecting that, like the episode about the poverty village betraying the other village is an analogy for Korea and Japan.

>>280266103That's exactly the season I'm referring to. Ninkoro is 10x better than Soredemo and I bet you didn't watch a single episode of it. (and even ninkoro is pretty average) Other than that, we have follow up seasons of kataganari, heartcatch, and Sgt frogger so I'm not counting them. A lot of these are simply terrible, like that kaminomi adaptation is hot garbage compared to the manga, and seeing as according to mal just about every anime that season is a 7 or worse looks like they agree. (Except they like bakuman because theyre normalfags lul, and if thats not your cup of tea basically not a single "classic" released that season)
>>280261092>I miss the older otaku sensibilitiesYour behavior is the exact opposite of otaku

>>280267011See how you're dancing around defending what you actually think is good? And, by the way, same character designer for katanaganari is working on gquuuuux, along with the FLCL director, so I mean, it's not like these people even went anywhere. You're just gunna sit here and be a triggered whiny little cry baby without backing up anything you're saying, because the more you reveal about yourself the dumber you're gunna look. The older something is the more necessary it is to critique, but for tourists and newfags these are untouchable sacred cows for some reason, that despite obsessing over they won't analyze even one bit. It's a very dumb and ironic existence.
>>280262939>Fall 2010 was the peak of anime and we'll never get it back again.What in the hell are you talking about lmao
>>280267285Nothing to do with your post, but are you the same fag who does the seasonal's rankings with the Eiffel template? Your writing style reminds me of the one's of that OP. It would be funny if it were so, but I kind of doubt it.

>>280259167The anime is still shit in comparison to the manga tbdesu
>>280270001Eh it's different. The manga is a lot slower and has more stuff, whereas the anime is basically japan doing an animation flex passion project with something cute
>>280259033Lots of projection. Mihari's drug is magic anyway.
>>280267285>gquuuuuxYou mean that trainwreck?
Why would you even want to watch an anime about a loser otaku.
>>280259211>The only guys that are gone from the team are the ones who did close-ups, who moved to animating pokemon.Source? First I've heard of this.
>>280260180Don't bother replying to these contrarian autists. Older shows are plagued by still-frames and shoddy "fight" scenes. Technology and techniques have improved immensely since then. The average anime now is FAR above the 80s - early 2000's.
>>280257092 (OP)i just hate the pandering to normies. Anime has definitely gotten better but all the budget goes into making anime thats most accessible to normalfags so they get all the high quality stuff
i like anime made by otakus for otakus
>>280257092 (OP)>new animeIs shit ever since anime industry is synonymous with anti-lolicon.
>>280271205>>280260180Modern anime visuals are shit compared to older ones because the resolution makes it basically impossible to draw whole scenes, so everything is digitalized to an extent that it looks like a sterile plastic scene compared to anything older. Sadly, nothing to do with that as it would literally take decades to finish a series if they wanted the same quality on today's standard resolutions.
>>280259211>like dragon ball super *mostly* has the same animators as dragon ball z and they're animating the same exact wayLmfao you retards always pick the worst example to expose yourselves as having no idea what you're talking about. If anyone's a newfag who still needs to catch up it's you.
Texhnolyze and Utena good.
K-On! and Mushoku Tensei bad.

>>280271960Texhnolyze is a masterpiece.
Utena... well it is what it is.
I found K-On to be kinda cheapo and derivative (I watched it when it originally aired).
Muhsoku Tensei was ok although I preferred the web novel.
Not sure what your point is.

>>280272102 this is interpolated, so we've already got a real moron.

Let's be real here, dragon ball is shit, one piece is shit, bleach is shit, naruto is shit. HxH and Slam Dunk are the only passing big wsj titles. If you like anything else your mouth is probably full of dicks 24/7.

>>280273330>Oldfags already experienced itYour massive leap in logic already fell short when you picked something as obvious as Dragon Ball for your past reference.
>>280273330I'll give you that there will always been something worth while and on average most anime is crap every era, as an oldfag I guess you're right when you put it that way then. Onimai is gross because it heavily sexualized the lolis, and I'm not normalfag. I didn't even expect to be so repulsed.
>>280273609Whoa there anon, I didn't make any jumps in logic. You seem upset. Only newfags care about old things. Because they are experiencing them for the first time. It's that simple. A tourist comes here and sits here for 6+ months because it takes them that long to get through 1 anime, and just spams a general on whatever old shit they are watching. It's really, really simple.

>>280273581Give me an example and stop cowering. Every criticism is always "well its just too japanese for me". If you hate Japanese culture then obviously get out. Shows like this are okay because Japanese people are more level headed and civilized. The browner a country gets, the less this stuff is allowed because some 40 IQ retard can't help but chimp out at things he doesn't understand. When I hate something it's because I've made the effort to understand it perfectly. I am profoundly aware of the things you like and gave them all an honest try and found them to be shit for reasons I'm perfectly capable of discussing at length.
>>280273753You're operating on the assumptions that the only reason someone can care about something is if they've never experienced it before and that they have no reason to hold any interest in something they have experienced before when those obviously aren't even true of yourself. A person's possible motivations are literally countless, and it will widely vary from series to series.
The tourist hypothesis incorporates another leap. It's just as probable that one anon posting an anime motivates others to check it out and so on. It's based on another assumption in how long it takes to get through 4-16 hours (that's 2.5 to 9 minutes per day) when it's actually more likely the gaps between threads lines up with the time it takes other anons to watch the entire series.
>>280272436Sucks that it isn't any better for it.
>>280273083Uma Musume is pretty autistic, every thing is based on real world horse racing and horses. It's more "yakuza" than "corporate" and it's, uh, pretty unique and absolutely drenched in Japanese culture and history.
>>280274127>You're operating on the assumptions that the only reason someone can care about something is if they've never experienced it beforeNo I'm operating under the assumption that someone would only care about a 20 year old 6/10 anime to the point of needing a 24 hour a day half a year old general is either severely mentally and can't move on or a complete newfag. There's no middle ground here.
>It's just as probable that one anon posting an anime motivates others to check it outThere's no new blood on 4chan, it's bleeding users. This goes back to the mentally ill bit. You're astroturfing the anime you've made your total identity to an audience that doesn't exist. At best you'll attract a fellow schizo who will pretend to be new and ask really dumb questions (being a newfag is in vogue these days) to keep the thread bumped or siphon off some (You)s. The world will continue forward unchanged in spite of your efforts, this is all just stagnation.
>>280274474And to specify, 4chan's entire identity at this point is just radioactive /r/kotakuinaction and /r/thedonald fallout that just cyclically experience the same media over and over. They get tired with one board, come here, take a huge shit for 6 months, then move on to the next board. This is what /a/ is now. You've got some guy who's been making elder scrolls threads or whatever on /v/ for 6 years straight or whatever and now he's here to post about the most entry level normalfag anime popular while posturing as a "masculine boomer" and after he's thoroughly spammed down and ruined this place he'll get bored and not understand why then move onto the next board while calling the medium dead. This is how the "newfag" works. You aren't going to convince someone to watch whatever old show your grifting and even if you did it wouldn't be worth it. Look at the daily threads and how abysmal the level of discussion is in there.
>>280274474>a 20 year old 6/10 anime to the point of needing a 24 hour a day half a year old generalI'm a NEET who keeps track of the threads all day so I can easily confirm that these don't exist, but I'm not really surprised that's what you try to put forward.
>>280274728>I'm a NEET who keeps track of the threads all day so I can easily confirm that these don't existWhat do you mean? We have the same exact threads every single day. I feel the guy that seethes about brotherhood is just a very obvious microcosm of board culture as a whole right now. Many of the same threads are made every single day and it's just one guy clearly talking to himself. And when multiple people do this they talk to themselves faster to keep their thread on top of the catalogue, and the bumping and samefagging gets faster and faster until it hits a singularity where all discussion dies and the board either becomes /vg/ or everyone leaves.
>>280257092 (OP)>>280274658>reddit tourist finally breaks downThis is who's spamming the thread complaining about /a/ and newfags btw

>>280257092 (OP)>Essentially, otaku culture has become its own undoing. It went from stories with fanservice to stories about fanservice. It reduced itself to its most addicting elements until nothing but the bare formula, the mere algorithm was left. As for light novel adaptations, you had more ambitious works like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Mushi-Uta and Boogiepop among lesser stories with more of an otaku focus like Zero no Tsukaima, To Aru Majutsu no Index and Shakugan no Shana. Nowadays, the latter three would be the more ambitious stories that are almost entirely gone. Stories with cute girls became about cute girls. Visual novels about conquering heroines were replaced by gacha games that would hand them out as lotteries on a silver platter so you no longer have to commit. A self-cannibalization process of sorts has found its logical end point. I remember when, in 2012, we all mocked Sword Art Online with disdain for being the worst example of pure otaku pandering and unadultered wish fulfillment โ rightfully so. Nowadays? Nowadays we get like 10 of these rotten isekai things that are worse than it every season anew and Iโm starting to wonder if SAO is now even that bad considering what followed it. At least it was set in a video game. At least it had a three word title. At least Kirito had some sass. At least it made an attempt to take itself seriously when I couldnโt. Itโs sad to look at this line of thinking. You look at these minor things and 10 years later, they have become major points of distinguishment.

The people coming here are 30+ year olds who've been sitting on /r9k/ wizchan whining and complaing and doing nothing for the last 10 years and have been too busy playing OSRS or whatever to watch anime, then suddenly realize they are depressed enough to marathon dragon ball or the annual rewatch on NHK or whatever and come here to shit up this place. That's the typical archtype you're attracting with these retro threads. Zoomers are at least tolerable because they'll grow and be interesting some day, maybe. You aren't and never will be interesting unless you make a big change. I would rather talk to someone who's watched 1 new anime than 1000 old anime, I've already discussed all that. Unless you put in a TON of work and really work on critically analyzing and coming up with something interesting to say about that old content, what you watch is just worthless to me. That zoomer is already miles ahead of you, in my eyes, and catching up on the "le classics" won't improve your standings, especially when you superficially scrape the dumbest shit from the past anyways.

>I would rather talk to someone who's watched 1 new anime than 1000 old anime, I've already discussed all thatReally? You've already watched and discussed all the old anime? And said everything that could be said about them? You've already talked about how Slaughterhouse-Five influenced the filmmaking style of Satoshi Kon? I'm just glad that not everyone has the same mindset as you that's so antithetical to art. Just consume the latest product then never talk about it again after moving on to the next big thing.
>>280261715Are you really nitpicking right now?
>>280275700>You've already watched and discussed all the old anime?Yes anon, I've watched every remotely decent old anime. I watch at least 2 episodes of anime every day, usually with lunch and dinner. That's 730 episodes a year. I've been doing it for 20 years, (I'm 35) so that's 14600 episodes of anime, plus the occasional binge. It's really not that farfetched.

Second, Frieren looks solid and is consistent (which is more important). But, as I said here
>>280259585 it's not an improvement and the fact that its animation quality is "noteworthy" really speaks about how low the bar is.
>There are numerous anime released every season with passable visuals and artsyle.>the average is averagePassable, yes (if you look at your phone half of the time). I'm just saddened by the fact of how uninspired and formulaic a medium with great potential is.

>>280276202Watching more than 500 anime series is pretty insane.
>>280276509Maybe for a zoomer newfag.
>>280275845>I've watched every remotely decent old animeIn other words, you don't watch bad anime. This phrasing says more than you think. It's impossible to know if you've watched everything good without willingly consuming an abundance of bad for reference. Of course, simplistic categories of "good" and "bad" say just as much: that you haven't seen enough to actually cultivate any personal taste that diverges from objective evaluations or consensus. So you obviously haven't seen anywhere near as much anime as you say and what you have seen is only entry level mainstream stuff.
>>280257092 (OP)>and many of them are timeless classics in the makingYeah no, I would call them good but not the kind of manga people in a decade or so will recommend.
>>280266851Modern anime isnโt โmore otakuโ.
>>280268703No clue where you got that impression.
Let me make it easier for you. Anime is an aesthetic medium, the visuals are very very important, right? Does anime look different now? Okay. Then some people will have taste that skews one way, and some will have taste that skews another way. Modern anime is not providing 80s anime or 90s anime or 70s anime, if you like that experience more you arenโt wrong.

It's not my favorite era of anime but the initial explosion of digital in the early 00's has more variety than now or any other time. The barrier to entry was lower and the market (late night and the dvr) was blue water. We've consolidated quite a lot along the lines of what do the production committee members fund, what works commercially is a much more known quantity. It's a much more mature market and the shows all reflect that. These days we're even below the absolute peak of anime in the sense of how many minutes of animation are being made each season.
>doesn't know what they're talking about and should be disregarded as a newfag
I actually know what I like and know that it's hard to find in modern anime. It's low hanging fruit but the spastic action direction of modern shounen is not what I like in a battle shounen, for example.
Another example I see old Japanese industry heads throw around quite frequently, if you're the type that enjoyed more loose manga adaptations, where the episode director had a lot of creative leeway: You're not eating so good these days.
In a more personal to me sense, and I think something slightly older /a/ shared, if you're really a fan of original anime this really isn't a great era for you either.
>>280277896Sane post.
The mid-to-late 90s is my favorite aesthetic era (followed by the mid-to-late 80s), but the era that was the best for concepts, variety and outside-of-mainstream sensibilities was undoubtedly the early-to-mid 00s.

if anything, you get the nostalgia buff and extra dopamine.
or perhaps you envision a future for yourself where you work so much you have no time to enjoy the things you enjoy.
or not wanting to introduce your children or nieces and nephews to interesting(non-degen) hobbies and such.
young people always think they're going to have some massive fundamental mental change when they get older. but you eventually notice very few people are much different than they were in high school. no matter their social status.
the only real game changer is the responsibility of a child or children. but that doesn't erase what you like from your brain. if anything it makes you yearn more for it, since you don't have as much time as you otherwise would to enjoy all that you would want to enjoy.
>>280279519It's what Japan wanted

I'd add that the people who moan about anime fandom are retards that are too online for their own good. Like, nigga, step outside. No one gives a shit about this culture war autism. Even at anime cons I've been to (numerous since 2021), no one fucking cares. Anime is generally still treated as, surprise, entertainment. As it should be.

>>280279614I don't know if it changes in later arcs, but during the chuunin exam the magic the seemed like a common tree of skills when Frieren was teaching her disciple suddenly becomes a lot of different quirks.

I agree. I find the idea that good art in any medium simply stops being made after an arbitrary date (typically whenever the speaker leaves their teenage years) is insane and only said by severely depressed or cowardly individuals too scared to watch new things that have nebulous reputations and can only watch classics for e-peen. However like said
>>280277896 there is undoubtedly always going to be strong and weak eras for any medium. Non-anime example but the 70s, specifically in American film, is my favourite decade for movies, likewise I think the 2010s~20s is the weakest era for games, but I'd still say there's plenty of good ge-mu being made. Just like how good anime continues to be made, even if we aren't in the greatest ever era for it.
