| yo' , I've been outta loop for quite some time. So, last anime I probably watch was either parasite or drrrx2 So, has anime gotten better? If so , what anime would you suggest I pick up? This topic belongs here right?Been awhile, since I last visit the forums from 2015 I think. |
The higher I get , The lower I'll sink. |
| Is this a joke? Anime went downhill since 2008. |
 |
| Yes.. Believe it or not anime has been getting better for the past couple of seasons.. You aren't watching bnha? wtf are you OP? |
| Watch Erased young boy. It is really good. |
 |
| Thanks, gonna probably watch it next week. |
| The higher I get , The lower I'll sink. |
| Parasyte? that wasn't very long ago.. but yea it was good, I think anime can only get better because it's been so bad, recently there's Erased, it might be good but you can never fully trust the rating for newer anime. ExTamplier said: Is this a joke? Anime went downhill since 2008. I've always held this opinion and as I see more people mention this here and there, maybe there is some truth to it. |
| Yeah..... This year so far is definitely better than last year. |
dfjksf said: If you say so. I haven't really watch as much since I've been working. @gesu whats bnha??? He probably means Boku no Hero Academia. I believe it's pretty popular this season. |
 |
| It does. You have shows like Baccano from 2007 and Bakemonogatari from 2008 until now, culminating in Kizumonogatari movies. You have Little Witch Academia and One Punch Man that saved anime. You have Jojo's Bizarre Adventure that revived the shonen genre from its deadbeat horse. You can watch Kimi no Todoke and shed manly tears on a girl that looked like Sadako from the ring/the grudge/ju-on/whatever! You can see how much LN got their exposure and justice in the form of No Game No Life, Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, and the first 14 episodes of Sword Art Online and the entirity of the Mother's Rosario Arc from Sword Art Online II. Anime has been getting better and better, and with just this spring season, you have Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4, which is essentially Persona 4. You have Flying Witches, a comedy on par with Nichijou or Danshi Koukousei. You have Macross Delta, a show about Magical Space Idols curing Space Cancer. Anime is DEFINITELY getting better now. |
Also adding to that, what kind of anime you choose to watch from a certain fall, which which ultimately effects your opinion/s. |
 |
| JoJo and Magi are the only saviors of 2016. |
| OPman saved anime? Sure..... Well this year seems better than the past year when it comes to the average, at the very least. |
| There are several fujoshi shows coming out over the remainder of the year -- more so than there usually are. By the time 2017 rolls around people will be complaining about how yaoi killed anime and that kinda shit. I mean, I think it's been a good year so far and will continue to be a good year. But given how MAL reacts to gay shit, I doubt most people will end up considering 2016 as a good year for anime. Then again, every year is a good year for anime. It just depends on how seriously you take it. |
 |
| It's better than last year that's for sure, but still nowhere near the level it was around 06/07. |

| i don't know. what do you think ? to me, it's still good. it's an opinion not a fact btw. i would probably recommend Re:Zero and Boku no Hero Academia to you from this season. |
 |
| Nothing so far has really impressed me, but there's always at least one or two good shows every year. I still hold the position that anime on the whole has been going uphill since 2007, especially compared to the mess that was the early 2000's. |
| It's gotten better, yes. Especially if you compare the previous seasons' anime to the current. |
 |
| What you like is subjective. So no comment on this, it's your own decision to think this year is better or worser than previous years. |

It actually doing it worse service than your everyday bad anime.@Meritas, Mayoiga is something I classify as guilty pleasure. I don't want this to turn to a discussion to the series but I personally think Okada is intentionally writing the show to go in that direction. It's fun to see how stupid it will get so I don't consider it as unwatchable. Well, different people, different taste. |

| Why no one has mentioned "Koutetsujou no Kabaneri"? |
| "You are weak. Why are you weak? Because you lack hatred." |
SpaceSheep said: As an example of a good anime? Because we have yet to see how it will turn out. There isn't much to work with at the moment.Why no one has mentioned "Koutetsujou no Kabaneri"? |
|
| im still waiting for a year like 2006 ... 2015 was definitely one of the worst year of anime and winter 2016 was mediocre |
 |
| 1887, now that was the year for anime. |
| I don't think anime overall has gotten better, if anything then it's only the animation that has gotten better. Many anime nowadays have just very generic plot and often times don't even make sense. The newer battle shounen are kinda weak, especially boku no hero academia imo. I can't understand people who state boku no hero academia and boku dake ga inai machi as the examples as for why anime has gotten better. Seriously, boku no hero academia is nowhere as good as the other shounen anime from Shounen Jump manga. Boku dake ga inai machi doesn't even fucking make sense, no explanation to its main plot point at all (not spoilering anything now). To sum it up: - Animation-wise -> better - Plot/characters/pacing/atmosphere etc. -> worse |

To sum it up: - Animation-wise -> better - Plot/characters/pacing/atmosphere etc. -> worse Someone is bashing BnHA, not that I care though. How is Plot/characters/pacing/atmosphere etc worse now? You will always find an anime with something good in it. Do you have examples for your statement? And don't compare the worst anime in the recent years with the best of the last decade. Well, nowadays you have like 8-9 generic, poor executed anime out of 10. As for an example, I take the anime from this season. I think I looked into nearly every ongoing anime this season and the ones with interesting characters and pacing are imo JoJo, Koutetsujou (though this one is just an AoT copy with high budget, so expected), Sakamoto and to some extent Re:Zero. Big Order seems to have potential as well. Other anime range from mediocre to unbearable. Of course, there's still lots of episodes to improve, but you can predict the direction most anime are going to take or they're uninteresting nonetheless. |

| Hmm, guess "generic" is not really what I hate, because nearly every character archetype/every plot has been used in any similar way. I think the one thing I hate is that those "generic" elements are just tossed in randomly and the characters just don't have that much depth to them. Anime are still good and there's always a season with tons of gems to be found. It's just that nowadays, there's always at minimum one anime with poorly executed "MC goes to fantasy/game world" plot. Also those supernatural anime, where you have a power with random English power names, let's call it "Hundred", combined with a mix of generic harem girls who each have very short screen time and no depth at all, aggravate me the most. Anyways, I've learnt to accept the fact that many new anime will be crap, so I just sort them out after watching like 2-3 eps. |

| Phantom world was a disappointment, ERASED (while good) is overrated af and this season has been kind of a let down overall. But I think it'll be a good year when all is said and done. There are a few interesting shows this summer as well as both "A silent voice" by kyoani and "Your name" towards the end of summer. In fall we might see AoT season 2 and most likely Hibike 2. I'm sure there will be some pleasant surprises along the way. Idk if it's getting better but it's not getting worse I can tell you that much. |
 |
| The quality of this year's anime and last year's anime, with like maybe one or two exceptions, feels the same so far tbh. But I want to wait till the other seasons come before I make a solid opinion. |
| ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... |
| Can't say for sure if it's better overall since there are definitely new animes that made me think "eh? why'd they even make this into an anime?" But I'm definitely glad they're producing more animes now than they did in the past though... even if not all of them are winners. |
 . . . . . ✘ . . . . .DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| The only shows worth watching from this season is both JJBA Part 4 and Sakamoto. 2015 was awful. |
| No, it haven't got better or worse, it's the same that always. |
 |
Praland said: This. THIS. THISSSS!!!!No, it haven't got better or worse, it's the same that always. It's mostly the same, it's not better but it's not worse either. Each season has some gems/enjoyable shows to watch, while also having it's fair share of terrible stuff. I'll that this season has a decent amount of enjoyable shows, and summer looks even more promising. |

| No. The best year in anime was 2010 because Durarara!!, Katanagatari and Tatami Galaxy aired in that year and they are better then 99% of anime. keragamming said: Yeah they aren't getting hate yet but once more fujoshi anime is made because people realize that fujos have money too people will complain about fujo anime and how it's killing anime just like generic light novel battle harems and moe.Zazie122 said: There are several fujoshi shows coming out over the remainder of the year -- more so than there usually are.

| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| this season is probably the worst season this decade. i noticed it started getting really boring like 2 season ago and it's been only downhill since then. Hopefully it gets better but that chance is very tiny. |
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS. |
ExTamplier said: Nah bro, 2013 is the year that anime started to go downhill.Is this a joke? Anime went downhill since 2008. There was even someone who said "anime has gone downhill in the last while" bad in the 90s. Anime is always going down apparently. |

This topic belongs here right?Been awhile, since I last visit the forums from 2015 I think. So a lot of people have been saying it's been getting better, what shows specifically? Because I've been hunting in anime of the past for good shows, I've prettymuch given up on recent anime other than like Attack on Titan. What's good right now? (Note: I don't like SAO or HunterxHunter, or danganropa) Ofc they aren't for everyone so perhaps they just don't fall into your taste, but I wouldn't say any of those are bad/not even worth watching. Comparing it to shows from other eras is a different. |

| SoL has been getting better since 2007. Idol anime are better than ever. The era of bad LN adaptations is almost over. |
