| Ok I've just come up with this stupid idea. What would you call a "zoomer anime"? What traits must it have? Does it have to be overly flashy? Edgy? Goofy enough or with enough amount of bait material? It doesn't necessarily mean something bad. Just something fit for the modern young audience. I'd certainly call zoomer anime anything from Trigger Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Chainsaw Man. Just perfect examples. Honorable mention: Trigun remake. Literally Fortnite the Animation. What are your variants? |
 |
| Every overhyped (aka "peak fiction") anime from the past few years is zoomer anime, I guess. That's the trait it must have, hype, mindless hype, tons of hype, unless, the zoomers won't watch. Zerem said: Are you assuming all zoomers are represented by LGBT or vice versa?JoJo Stone Ocean. Has to be the most LGBTQ friendly anime I have seen in recent years. Everyone was queer and nonbinary and had minority representation, feminist themes, and anti religion sentiment. |
 |
| Trigger anime is more like normie-friendly than zoomer anime. Most trigger shows seem like they're aimed towards a western audience but idk, I haven't watched much of their stuff. Kaguya-sama, Spy x Family and Bocchi the Rock. now there's some zoomer shit. These aren't bad shows per se but all three are inexplicably overrated. Bocchi the rock especially has a certain zoomer flavor to it with a main character who lives a charmed life but whines constantly about imaginary problems. |

omg yes you're right I stand corrected |
| Must be at max 12 episodes long, instantly gratify them by episode 2, have pretty colors, flashy animation and either lolis or self-inserts. |
| Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family, Kaguya-sama, Oshi no Ko, 86. You know, a lot of overhyped series that have come out recently. |
| Everything released after 2018 I guess. |
Zerem said: RSGX said: .Which anime are you talking about? Its from the Winter season, from pic I only know Onimai.We got some more in the Spring season too. Wait, what? Since when Tensei Oujo to Tensai Reijou is gender bend? Did we watch the same show? |
| Nah, I don't really like the idea of slandering anime based on when it came out and what generation the average viewer watched it. By that logic, Evangelion would be for Milennials. |
Zerem said: The other 3 are Ayakashi Triangle, Eiyuu-ou, Bu wo Kiwameru Tame Tenseisu and Tensei Oujo to Tensai Reijou no Mahou Kakumei.RSGX said: .Which anime are you talking about? Its from the Winter season, from pic I only know Onimai.We got some more in the Spring season too. Onimai and Ayakashi are magical sex shift, the other two are reincarnation. None are actual queer representation or anything, and if, let's say, you want Onimai to be, it wouldn't paint a good image since the change was forced on the main character. About Spring season... I'm not familiar with most recent trash isekai, but as I already said, any of them wouldn't count. I'm sure the one you would want to mention would be Heavenly Delusion, but it's not either, it's more like a body swap and I don't really want to get into it more into that. Going a bit back on what you said previously Zerem said: First, I'm not religious, but I don't think it's anti-religion just because they fight a "priest". JoJo Stone Ocean. Has to be the most LGBTQ friendly anime I have seen in recent years. Everyone was queer and nonbinary and had minority representation, feminist themes, and anti religion sentiment. "Feminist themes", sure, strong women characters, I agree. "Minority representation", the cut-out triple letter scene? (joking) Anyways. If I remember correctly, Jolyne had a boyfriend at the literal start of the part. Canonically, no one in the part is "queer and/or nonbinary", maybe except FF since she's a plankton and the author uses "she (?)" when talking about her, not "they" like the localizations. She still possessed and continued to use a female body, so I'd say it's ok to assume the mass of plankton wants to "identify" as female. JoJo for the most part is regarded as gay because of some 'sus' scenes, but for the most part there's only a little actual gay in it. Zerem said: "I'm not generalizing, BUT I am generalizing." I personally think it's more like a 50/50 on the "open-mindedness" of zoomers.I am not saying all are like that but Zoomers are the most LGBTQ open minded generation and enjoy such themes in their anime, judging from the 5 gender bender queer anime the previous season. As a millennial, I am impressed. Also hate to break it to you, but if you're born in '97 like your profile says, you're also a zoomer. As a normal human, I'm impressed at Poland for being against what you're constantly mentioning. |

RSGX said: Yeah, my bad, what I said applies to the other one, Eiyuu-ou. Does Tensei Oujo mention anything about the character's past life? It doesn't mention much about her past life besides that because of it she wants to do inventions in theother world to emulate the things from the world she comes from and some different concepts taking into account magic exists there. As far as I know, the novel mentions more stuff, but I haven't read it and I only heard from some friends who read the novels. But the part that "she was a man before" came out of nowhere, it is just to bother "yuri fanatics" saying that the girl is a guy and that's why she is lesbian. |

By the way, no, you two didn't watch the same show. He didn't watch it at all, since he said he only knows Onimai out of the 4 in the pic, neither did I, but that's not the point. |

| You mean "Zoomer anime" as a show having elements typically considered as traits of stereotypical Zoomers, @Nemo_Niemand? Like designs, behavior of their characters, setting? It might be hard, because you can find shows where those elements can be detected, but I can't think of a series whete they would visibly dominate over others. |
| We'll have more examples soon when Japanese zoomers begin making their own anime. Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen are written by millennials. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| Probably isekai genre in general. Zoomers are as covered in them as Millennials were with Big 3 LGBTI cannot possibly be enjoyed by majority, so not JoJo. |

| i'm a zoomer. all anime i watch are zoomer animes. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I don’t really care what zoomers consume tbh. Let them enjoy what they like just like how we enjoyed what we liked when we were younger. The anime about to mentioned are just my observations of what typical zoomers would enjoy and that’s not to say that these shows are bad or cringy, just shows that most people in that age bracket seem to enjoy. - Demon Slayer - My Hero Academia - Mob Psycho 100 - Jujutsu Kaisen - Chainsaw Man - Spy x Family - Kaguya-Sama - Bochi the Rock - Oshi no Ko - Classroom of the Elite - Blue Lock - Tokyo Revengers |

I always figured it was a normal part of life; at least for some of us... especially in the teen years. |

| cyberpank edgelorders is the perfect exampiil, mawkish and edgy (the generic boring kind), there there is also 86 very zoomer cringe, and attack on titan s4 onwards, maybe ishuuzoku reviewers.The overlord series (100% zoomer), and aku no hana. epidemia78 said: Bocchi the rock especially has a certain zoomer flavor to it with a main character who lives a charmed life but whines constantly about imaginary problems.

The show really could have benefited from some darkness but it's all sunshine and rainbows which makes it impossible for me to feel anything but annoyed with Bocchi's antics. Watamote did social anxiety so much better. |

I haven't seen either, but i can guess, it's that forced kind of cutesy sunshine and rainbows like that k-on kind (made even worse with distorted faces) combined with social anxiety, all delivered in zoomer kinda stylishness. I am glad i didn't touch it. Watamote seems better i agree, it has the right kind of creepy chick for it lul impression in nutshell:-   |

My last impression of that anime was that its coomer bait cus of how popular it is on JP online shops like DLsite with it's porn doujins, so I've come to think of it as a coomer anime.... But eh. Its probably both a zoomer and a coomer anime. |

| Bocchi the Rock is zoomer due to the social anxiety other things. |
 |
| First of all things, you have to create a perfect marketing campaign to create a zoomer anime. Most zoomer starts watching an anime because it's famous and they are sure nobody is gonna make fun of them since everyone is watching that specific anime (examples are Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, Oshi no Ko, etc.). Now, as for the anime itself...

| Anything massively overhyped and popular over the last 5 years. I highly agree with you anything from Trigger or Mappa. |
