So recently I have started to get bored of anime. I am not to sure whether this is due to having seen so many good anime's and having my expectations increased to an extent were I no longer enjoy most anime or whether it is a regular occurrence that people eventually get bored of watching anime.
Has anyone else experienced this?
you should enjoy the little detours to the fullest because thats were you'll find the things more important that what you want.

- Watch something out of your comfort zone
- Try out manga
- Begin watching things at random
- Take a break

Something like that.

Find another outlet.
Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier
Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.).
Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!)
Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe
Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics.
Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it.

Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something...

I looked at your list, and I'm not impressed, so it can't be that your standards are too high now. Sounds like you need to get better at fishing out the high quality anime, you also seem alittle aimless(combined with bandwagon jumping, aka if people aren't flocking to insanely overrated anime, that people who want to act like they are thinking out of the box, all flock to, you have no idea what to watch next)

Take a break. Everyone gets fed up of something if he does it constantly.
Also try watching stuff that isnt the most known, the best anime I have seen where by far not the most popular. You whoever are only watching "mainstream" anime.

I only dabbled in the best of the best. Not my fault popular stuff tend to be the most highly rated.
I also have quite a bit of seinen & psycho anime. Granted there's stuff like Berserk with awful scores because of their ending, but there are your Monsters and Psycho-Passes as well.
If you meant "psychological' along the lines of NGE, then lol.

Edit: shoujo? Ha! Ain't nobody got time for that.

I would hope that the top 100 would indeed be largely composed of the best. If not, then there's no point in having that. I ain't watching #350 on the off chance it may break an 8/10.

I really hope you're being sarcastic. Since when in hell does popularity in aanime=quality?

That's all the overall placement means on database sites, is that the anime was popular(in other words, well known), that's it.

Most of the best anime out there, don't get listed in the top 100.

If an anime can't even win a popularity contest, what hope does it have of winning my love and affection?

NGE sucked. Ghost in the Shell is in the top 50. The rest are nothingnesses.

On a serious note, Texhnolyze, Lain and co are of a genre that I do not care for (i.e the erroneously labelled pretentious bs category).

Really though, you could only name anime of the same genre?

Edit: I do plan on watching some of the Gundams. It's in my plan to watch list along with LOGH, Detective Konan and some other stuff.

Oh God no! I didn't even like the visuals because I didn't get to watch it in theatres :(
Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus are the cancer of music. I'd rather listen to Yoko Kanno's work for the rest of my life!

Edit: In terms of movies, you can never go wrong with 12 Angry Men, Schindler's List, Se7en, Usual Suspects, Dark Knight, Return of the King and such.

Popularity and quality have very little correlation. There's popular anime, movies, books etc. that are very good and very bad.

Actually, they do have a correlation. People just don't tend to dig deeper to the why.
Justin Beiber sucks for any sane person, but to the teenage girls that make up majority of his fanbase, popularity= quality.
Same for crap like Twilight. To any true literature enthusiast, it is crap. To the horny women who purchase it, popularity= quality.

Popularity viewed in terms of the target demographic is a pretty good indicator of whether you will like something or not.....like pedos and loli/shota crap.

As for your second point, if you haven't heard of them, you can't enjoy them, so still it benefits you nothing. I'd rather not wade through tons of crap to find something I'll just give an above average score.
