this annoys me so much. ofc my favorites are all oldies, but i still love all the new anime coming out. I think it's amazing how much the industry has grown as a whole. There's so much of it, and there are definitely some quality shows in the mix imho.
As someone who has watched every single show that came out each year for the past 3 years I can say with confidence most of it is trash
i start every show, and drop about half of them at towards the beg-mid, finishing about 15-20 every season. Those are good fucking numbers to me.
What years do you consider classics? 90s? did you watch anime in the 90s? cuz i did. You know how many anime aired in the 90s? i'd be lucky to finish 5 series a year.
You? Every anime of the year? Not with that list LOL
Nah I'd say mid 00s was the golden age then it went to shit
i don't update my list. i don't think watching anime is a pissing contest, and i don't feel like going back and looking through all the anime i watched over the past 20+ years. i first made an account here what a couple years ago? why do i need to make a list? is it some kind of level system of weeaboo? waste of time and effort. Pointless for me, especially. I can understand someone somewhat new to it and wanting to watch as many different anime marking off each one they've seen, but for me, it's already too late. It would just be a hassle, and won't work the way it was intended. I hope you can understand. I thought about starting it from a specific point but i ended up dropping it halfway through a season.
as for mid 00s, hmm.. what came out, oh the big three. I haven't watched them personally, because I was already out of highschool, and had a job etc. toonami wasn't on my schedule. I just watched anime that I had specifically downloaded and purchased at that point. but umm.. lol. it's hard to see your point. like, you think anime suddenly went to shit, idk, why, maybe cuz your favorite anime came out in the mid 2000s and nothing has lived up to the hype since? tell me.
