The title basically says it all.

I honestly really like the Moe era. There are a lot of Moe cute girls doing cute things shows from that era I enjoy and other show that just have Moe art styles that I enjoy like K-ON for example.

I've seen some clips from moe anime and they are really cute.From the isekai that I've seen they did not interest me that much so moe it is.

I think Moe is better, overpowered MCs are just annoying and bland

Moe era lack action and I like action.

Both moe and isekai animes, I've been a bit more generous than the standards.

But if I'm gonna pick one, I liked more moes than isekais...that will change though.

Moe era. Most likely all isekai anime have the same plot and generic characters, while moe... is cute and cute things are better.

I like the moe era better but only for the variety.... and not usually for the moe stuff. Weirdly the Isekai content was better in the 00’s. And the moe stuff is better in the 2010’s.

Moe era. I’m not into CGDCT as much anymore but I still wouldn’t touch isekai with a 10 foot pole.




I am forever your most devoted believer.

probably neither, both can be equally as annoying or boring but i guess i find myself liking more of CGDCT but those never go above a score of a 7

Neither but if I had to choose I find moe more relaxing and soothing than the isekai with OP chars

No, I cannot choose. Moe era was great...but anime guys got a LOT hotter after 2010 too...and THAT is very important, you see. xD

Moe. It might just be recency bias but I have fond memories of moe shows of yesteryear whilst I’m rather tired of the modern Isekai shows.

I like the 80s and 90s era. OVAs are the reason I'm still able to digest the horrid animation quality we have today. I use those to clean my palette.

I did enjoy the animation style of the 00's and 10's and the wacky anime like excel saga, school rumble, sgt frog and light hearted animes like princess resurrection

I think moe era start on early 2010s after K-On legacy. Lots of anime try to recreate its magic and most of then fail.

So yes they share the same decade.

Moe makes a compelling argument, but my vote is isekai because I like that genre entirely too much. I've seen/enjoyed everything represented in Isekai Quartet and then some.

This is what the last two decades are remembered as....

Given these two options it'll be the 2000's I suppose.

I'd prefer 80s-90s era of uncensored brutality and sexuality, era of art, originality and soul.
Also, speaking of eras, here's the concept:
80s-90s - Golden Age of anime.
2000s - Silver Age.
post-2010 - Ice Age.

"Which era of anime do you prefer, The Moe/Kawaii Era or The Isekai Era?"

No matter of the era there always some more diverse titles to choose from. Nobody is forcing you to watch all the trash that is released.

Not to mention that "Moe/Kawaii Era" and "Isekai Era" are horribly reductive ideas about those periods.

There have been some good isekai(e.g. RE:ZERO, Log Horizon, Slime) but it gets stale after a while. Moe, no matter how many times I watch it, just makes me smile every time. Moe is my vote. Cuteness is forever :)

II think if I were to be reductive, the 00’s are more about the transition to digital/HD and would be more apt to Include 1995(first 100% digital anime)- 2008 (the end of 4:3). 2009- present seems to be about a move to 1080-4k and CGI improvements. No telling where that will end

I much prefer the Isekai era. The overload of Isekai a problem that has been blown out of proportion in my opinion, like okay there's a lot of 'em, but people act as if 8 of 'em come out every season or something when that's just not true.

Production values on average are much higher, with a lot more studios handling a lot more anime, and this might be a warm take: anime on average is much better than it was in the 2000s.

It's much more accessible, with a lot more people to discuss it with. We have absolute bangers like OPM, Overlord, and Parasyte just to name a few, and because of the sheer amount of shows being cranked out, every season we have a really good one to rave about and a really bad one we can all laugh at.

The vast majority of the modern isekai shows are basically unwatchable. Which is a shame because I actually prefer action/fantasy/adventure anime over cute school life stuff but the fact is, K-On and Clannad are a million times better than stuff like Overlord or Shield Hero.

None of those two.

Mid 80s-mid 90s OVA era of ultra violence, space operas, weird science, cyberpunk, anime noire & dark fantasy. Lots of good things back then.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll, Record of the Lodoss War, Battle Angel Alita, Bastard!!, Tsubaki Shoujo, Golgo 13, Tenshi no Tamago, Guyver, Violence Jack, MD Geist, Bio Hunter, Vampire Princess Miyu, AD Police, Fire Tripper, Mad Bull 34, 3x3 eyes, Windaria, Crying Freeman, Youjuu Toshi, Makai Toshi Shinjuku, Teito Monogatari, Story of Ricky, Baki the Grappler, Sanctuary, Urban Square, Wizardry, Urotsukidouji, Dragon's Heaven, Baoh the Visitor, Genocyber, Umezu Kazuo no Noroi, Hanappe Bazooka, and lots lots more.

Not to mention great tv series from back then... Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, City Hunter, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball original and Z and many more.
And all the great movies like Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Hotaru no Haka and the Ghibli classics.

Truly the best era of anime.

isekai anime/manga are all the same cuz there are sooooooo easy to write, trust me, for my assignment in 8th grade english, we had to write a story with at least 10,000 words in 30 days. what was my story about? an isekai of course. and i finished that shit in 15 days. and i learned why there are soooooooooo many isekais too. but there will be an isekai that is good every then and now like konosuba and Dr. stone (if we counting that as an isekai since its an isekai in disguise)

Both, but most of my loved anime are more recent so I'll go with 2010's. Early 2000s was a time when I didn't have access to anime except through that one friend (to whom I'm eternally grateful). Thank you internet.
