| Nah, anything that could've been a "golden age" ended in 2012. We're currently in the commercial Era. Less risk and more appealing to established franchises and trends. Also, many greats of the industry died or retired; Miyazaki is holding the line vy himself, but he's probably actually done after The Boy andmd the Heron. |

| One problem in the anime community is that they can’t seem to set exact years of this golden age during 80s and 90s, I personally don’t see mid 80s to early 90s as the golden age since most of 90s best shows only appeared towards the end of 90s , Akira and few ghibli movies who came out in that period just doesn’t convince me. If we really felt that anime had a modern golden age it would probably be 2013 - 2023 , Attack on titan started it and ended it while in that period some of the most critically acclaimed anime series also happened or continue to till this day. This also reminds me of statement that Sopranos started golden age of television back in 1999, I can only image how sitcom enjoying boomers felt hearing this back then only to be proven very wrong in next 15 years. |
| Yes we are in the golden age right now, with all the moeblob shows and moeblob moments even in action shows. |

By your logic, the Industrial Revolution was no revolution and saw no innovations because all technological advancements were built off of previous ones. Let me tell you what creativity in the context of this thread actually means: It's not just building from scratch, but (almost always) how existing elements are synthesized, transformed and presented in new and engaging ways. You need creativity in order to skillfully recombine and reinterpret existing ideas and craft new ones. This is why so many consider the 90s and/or the 00s as the 'golden age' of anime and why so many iconic and revolutionary works postdate 1986. I'm going to have so much fun breaking down your media-illiterate takes from now on lol. Get ready. Great post. That guy knows nothing about anime let alone other media and should learn to observe without speaking every time a random brainfart occurs inside his head. His factually incorrect take about originality just reinforces the unspoken sentiment from everyone that he massively pads his own lists. |

| @KinoTabi- Thanks. I forgot he existed before he began vying for my attention through that trashy remark towards a month-old post. Looks like he'll never recover from those dozen public losses he brought upon himself by everyone last year. Funny but sad. |
| We are not even in the bronze era of anime anymore. |
| Anime is dead and we killed it. HALLELLUJAH!!! |
| Ace-aro King. Bow down and pay your prospects. Princess Zelda #bestgirl. Gray Fullbuster #bestboy. I gravitate towards powerful and graceful women, straight and relatable men and thought-provoking yet fun animanga series as my favorites. RPGs/LNs/VNs >>>>>>>>> the rest. |
| No. I think the golden era is around 2007-2012 At that time, lots of both dumb anime idea and concept appears regularly. Also anime artstyle direction transition between early 2000s and modern style like we all know today happens at that time. And finally why i prefer that year than late 1990s even though they have both in above category i mentioned is solely because of number of anime aired there each season also skyrocketed a lot in 2007-2012 era. |

We've had 5 different anime reach the top 1 on MAL in just the past 3 years....
| @MadanielFL Well that is mostly due to recency bias and overrating |
 |
| No, anime is getting worse and worse. Not that it was any good (to begin with). |

| The golden Era came and left way bore most user of MAL today was even born. Im sorry to say this Gen Z and Alpha you missed the golden age. |

I just became popular with the mainstream attracting a lot of tourists, if Japanese people listen to westerners opinions it will just become decadent as current mainstream western media.
| @Hans_0819 Current Western media is very good now. |
| I think Golden Age is relative. Different people put it at different points. I'm liking some of the stuff being released, and I appreciate the few projects taking risks. Though I also think that aside from a few things, this era is rather safe. |
| Not even close. Quantity <> Quality Anime started peaking in the late 90s, had peaked in the early '00s and has been in decline ever since. Slowly at first, but the rate has gone logarithmic this decade. |

| Anime was never good. Anime tend to be lousy stuff. Anime is really only good for the music videos on Youtube tbh. |
| Here is my Pixiv account of my hentai drawings..... https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/104739065 Here is my blog.... https://theendofindustrialcivilization.blogspot.com/?m=1 |
| The golden decade lasted from 2006-2015. We had a recent honeymoon period of good anime from 2023-2024, but anime has declined again in quality. |
| The golden era is long gone. It went away when the last VHS were replaced by the first godawful 720p DVDs |

| No, anime shows are getting worse and worse. Then again, anime shows always sucked. Tbh anime is only good for the animations. Nobody watches anime for the plots anyways. |

| 2004 to 2014 was the Golden era of Anime. Starting from Bleach and covering Hits like Death Note, FMA Brotherhood, Sword art Online, Hunter x Hunter, Fate Zero, Attack on Titan, Tokyo Ghoul and Many more Quality production.. Now we get 2nd rate copies of the concepts introduced by those Anime.. it's Sad really |

@Sandymikoto in 10 years people who started watching Anime now are going to say the same but with 2014-2024.
| @Nurguburu Yeah. It's all relative, the golden age. Some out the golden age as the 70s and 80s. Some like the anime from the 90s. Some say the early 2000s. And so on. It's all relative. This era has some very great series being released. Though it's also relatively safe. Series that appeal to everyone, safe. |
| Too early to say, but maybe we are entering the time. |
We all hate it when you forget about your deadline until last minute     |
| The golden decade was the 2010s. Which is already over. Of course. |
| Here is my Pixiv account of my hentai drawings..... https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/104739065 Here is my blog.... https://theendofindustrialcivilization.blogspot.com/?m=1 |
| No, the golden age has passed us by already, we're on the downside of the curve. |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| 2010s were the golden era for me personally, 2020s are pretty disappointing so far overall. |
| No. Because japanimation stopped being special long ago since the time western and other tried to mimic its style and normies can't tell the difference they think stuff like Castlevania "looks like anime". |
 |
| I'd better call the current era the Ice Age lol. Golden Age has ended somewhere in 90s-00s. |
 |
| That's the 90s, ain't no other anime era comes close to it. |
| I think 2010s was the golden decade. Mist of the high rated / respected / liked animes arefrom 2010s |
| Nah, the Golden Decade for anime was the 2010s. The 2020s is mostly just garbage for anime shows. |

Reply to deg
@Serafos why though? when aja reports record breaking profit every year now for the past few years in the anime industry
| @deg cows eat grass but it doesnt mean they live in golden era i dont understand why gachacucks use that argument to claim "their herder aka gachatrash they play" is superior than others. what does it matter roman empire became weakened and stagnated once it became big it entered the Age of Iron and rust, as they say. |
I am just the admin of www.churro.club.  |
| Like I mentioned several days ago, the golden decade of anime was the 2010s. Anime has been rapidly declining in the 2020s. I don't even bother watching the shows from the 2020s; they mostly suck. |

| I don't think Golden Era is the word to use for this current era since its long passed, Mainstream Era rolls of off the tongue better since both anime and manga are way more easily accessible now. |

| To me the two golden eras where the 1980s and the 2000s. In the 1980s, anime emancipated itself from childrens TV courtesy of the invention of VHS and laserdisk, creatinga boom of more mature content. It's no coincidence that this includes the hentai and gore genres, but also has e.g. LotGH as a mature epic. The 2000s harvested the fallout of increased risk taking for new ideas, art direction and story types enabled by the success of highly innovative shows like Evangelion and Utena in the late 1990s. Another innovation from that decade is the invention of the moe show, which shapes anime until this day. Thus: No, we are not in a golden age. We are in "business as usual" mode. |
 |
| Didn't the term "golden" and "silver" age originate not from the quality of Hollywood movies, but from the fact that movies used to be in black and white and had first a golden tint and later a silver tint? Once color became widespread it was just called "modern". Anime changed styles about once per decade and then settled for what we currently have in the late 2000s.  What we currently have is most definitely "modern". |
| We are certainly living in an era of anime, not sure if it's golden. |
