What's the best era of anime
And why is it the early to mid 2000s?
>amazing aesthetics and artstyle
>no pandering to streaming services
>tons of fan service
>good character design

It was the "era" when the old, based generation peaked in skill and creativity, and it was before the otaku got into the industry and turned it into a conveyor belt of outsourced slop

there is more of a consistent output of good shows on a regular basis than there ever has been, to the point where there are anywhere from 3-10 good shows running at any point in time
but 1995-2006, while having less good shows in terms of how many there were, also produced the most unmatched masterpieces of the medium

Not otaku exclusively but writers that aren't exposed to anything beyond pop culture regardless of where they hail from. You get the same problem in the West with people only exposed to Star Wars or Marvel now writing for the IP so its all self referential trash rather than them being exposed to the source material that Lucas used to cobble together the franchise to begin with and going further down the chain to contemporary literature of prior eras like Charles Dickens.

It was practically the posterchild for underwhelming shallow pseudbait for years. And would probably still would be if it actually had any kind of following that recommended it to others. It doesn't because there's no reason to not watch the tens of other shows that do the same thing but several times better.

I would say the late 90s - early 2000s was probably where anime peaked, with 1999 in particular being an extremely good year for anime, but when you look back at it, 1999 was an extremely good year in general.

>no moeshit in the mid 2000's
Who's gonna break it to her?

But in general, I agree with the sentiment.
The 2010s and 2020s has their fair share of high quality projects, but it's considerably lower compared to the amount of high-profile releases from 2001 to 2006.
Conversely, this era had its fair share of kuso anime.

The only thing that really peeves me about anime from the 2000s is how a lot of the tropes and fetishes from the 90s carried over into that decade.
I have been rewatching the Mai series in preparation for its 20th anniversary, and I roll my eyes whenever there is a tentacle scene. That shit should have stayed dead in 1998.

This is the era I got into anime, and I do think it was the best. So many unique and interesting concepts. So much ambition and drive to do something impressive instead of regurgitate what came before.
The main downside was anime so often spent their last 3 or 4 episodes turning into some absolute pseudointellectual gibberish to try to prove they were super duper smart. JRPGs had the exact same problem.

Beacuse faggots associate old good new bad with /v/ since the video game industry has also been an absolute fucking cesspool like all media which includes anime.
Ironically so considering that because this year we got Silksong and Expedition 33 so it has been one of the better years of the last six or seven(the absolute state of the industry when two good games made by AA debvs are enough to consider it a good year).
In contrast there hasn't been a good year for anime since like 2018 and this year is the worst so far, notice how on the board nobody is discussing any decent new show and it is all spam, generals or nostalgia shit.

2010s was the anime dark ages as we transitioned out of the battle-harem era (which itself was a blight) and into the endless litrpg era, featuring edgy meguca-clones.

Also Ergo Proxy is garbage for people that think Noir is deep.

pic unrelated i hope? ergo proxy is honestly a super shallow anime which front and backloads anything resembling plot, choosing to have almost scooby doo-esque episodic adventures while stuck in a boat where nothing happens for the majority of its runtime
also using it as an example of "tons of fanservice" is really funny, its a deeply unsexual anime for most of its run as its desperate to come off as philosophical and mature
