| As title,What do you think current anime needs to improve.Could you explain? I think the layout of the story should be improved,many current animes are rushed,lack of consistency or jammed a bunch of stories in one episode,which I think it's not acceptable.They should do a better preparation of script before making an anime in order to maintain a satisfactory quality for our anime viewers,Do you agree with me or do you have any other things to talk about? |

| Character development. Characters are so shallow nowadays, at least from what I've seen. |

| i have too many things to rant... but hey, who am i? i am also already fine with the way it is now... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| *talking with an old man voice* When I was young I didn't watch those kinds of anime kids are watching these days, I used to watch good anime like Astro Boy, 8 Man, Wolf Boy Ken and all the good old in it's peak :) I guess if the anime doesn't get better like the old days I will put myself soon to rest... |
"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| They really need to focus on the more interesting stories with memorable characters n stuff Also yeah, the lenght of certain anime could be longer, like some series get really good right after the anime, its cancer ;( |

romagia said: You got me. But really, we could use more two-cour anime at the very least. Nothing against one-cours, they're just perfect sometimes, but I have the feeling ADHD is plaguing the industry a bit too much.length is another obvious answer........ |

| Story shouldn't be improved, after all, it was the adaptation that failed to portray the events, personalities and the likes of a series, if it only comes as an adaptation while I won't say anything to original anime since it's a matter of hit-or-miss to the viewers. I'm looking out for Gi(a)rlish Number since the first episode came out as an opinion of an insider in the industry portrayed by the MC and you can connect it to the current state of the industry. |

| "This (anime) industry is weird" - Chitose Karasuma, Gi(a)rlish Number I hope someday someone in an anime would say, "The (anime) viewers are weird." |
| Preach. 30characterssomethingsoomething. |
|
| I'd say directing. I see too many shows with an uninspired color direction in which they don't properly contrast and the presentation looks bland. They should be taking notes from KyoAni, Madhouse, and Bones. Also, creativity. |
| Creativity Creativity being defined as stuff that I like. Because anime fans act like it means that, so that must be the correct definition right? |
| Breast physics, overall quality of animation, consistency of art, originality.... I can continue forever. |
 |
| we need way more bishounen also more good magical girl anime would be cool too c: |
 |
| Nothing,Nothing,Nothing,NOthing |
 |
| Well written, fleshed out characters that develop over time, also gray characters are ace, so they are very welcomed. In terms of story something fresh, new, that has logic trough out it's progression, and cohesiveness. |
 |
| stop turning shitty ln's and vn's into anime. hire some good authors with talent - if japan doesn't have any, import stories from the west like in the 1960s/70s the fall season is a good example - almost everything is garbage don't you already have enough bishounen compared to the amount of female anime viewers?! |
 |
| Characters that speak, act and feel like actual people, not archetypes with a couple of personality traits. Good direction and cinematography. Too many anime barely ever try to tell the story visually and rely mostly on hamfisted dialogue and expositions. And in the case of adaptations of manga, a lot of them lazily copy-paste the manga almost panel to panel. What I want to watch is a proper animated TV show, not "animated manga". |
| Two things: More anime-original IPs. A more even balance between 1-cour and 2-cour series. That would be all. Let the industry go on from there. |

|
| I wanted to say bigger boobs, but since we got Occultic;Nine this season I guess that would be a mistake. |
| More antihero shows would help more westerners try an anime and gradually transition into trying other Animes I think. |
 |
| Less CGI and more eps per season, also less crappy LN adaptations. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| 1. Get rid of all the Fujoshits! 2. Get rid of all the sports! 3. Get rid of all the mecha!! Banzai!! Anime is great again! |

| They've gotta work it harder, make it better, do it faster, make us stronger. |

| Anime needs to stop being so overtly referential. A lot of the works you can find these days, even ones that are good and well-regarded, feature some form of self-referential/masturbatory scene that gives lip service to some sort of cliche, trope, or established idea in the industry. As a result, I feel like the medium itself is very parochial and too inward looking, which prevents it from really making any real artistic claims that are worth talking about. Maybe it can tell a good story, maybe it can tug at your heart strings, but I don't think this style that is inherently parochial and provincial is conducive to making great anime. Maybe they'll be good anime, but there hasn't been many "great" anime which strives to tell us something valuable and universal. |
| Come on, OP, obviously we all want anime to "improve". We want better artwork. We want better soundtrack. We want better story. But how the anime is going to improve is not to use to judge and say. Maybe anime will be more moe down the road. Or maybe more action. We don't know. So because of that, I'm sticking to the current affairs of anime and be satisfied with it. |

There's been like 5 pure ecchi series this year out of hundreds - and out of those most of them seem to have sold poorly and forgotten quickly, calm down |
| To make current Anime improve, they should get rid of CGDCT, and bring breast sizes back to at least the 90s. Also, the return of the 26 episode Anime would be nice. Too many 12/13 episode shows out there. |
 |
| These threads are by far my least favourite threads on MAL, because it is just a breeding ground for psuedo-intellectualism and narcissism. You don't like something that is a pervasive trend in modern anime? Yeah, that's completely fine and understandable, if everyone liked everything the world would be really boring, but saying that those elements should be removed because you personally don't like it? That's completely bullshit, it would make more sense to suggest that there should be more stuff that you do like, not less of what you don't like because *gasp* you don't have to watch stuff you dislike, or even acknowledge its existence. I dislike the vast majority of battle shounen, I do not care for any of the long running shounen franchises (including HxH) and I probably never will, but you don't see me saying that these kinds of anime should be removed/banned/changed to pander to me. I just do what anyone with sense would do and don't watch these shows. Basically even though you may be a special snowflake the world doesn't revolve around you. |

| There are too many s.o.l/moe/ecchi/isekai/harem/whatever anime coming out. I say based on my limited knowledge, the treatment of animators in the industry. They do so much work but get paid so little and most people don't even know their name (I'm slightly guilty of this). The reason for bad animation sometimes is because the animators are getting worked to death. Another one is voice actors have to be idols/being more marketable. The voice acting picking scene with the 3 guys in Shirobako kind of shows what I mean. |

| More buttholes. They can legally be shown uncensored in Japan but the only case I can think of that dared to expose them is a Senran Kagura OVA. |
