| i mean seriously .. am i the only one who thinks that ? not talking about the animation .. all i see these days is some shitty animes and shitty plots and shitty generic characters .. and shitty fanservice which is the best way to cover bad-writing ..how do people even enjoy those ? .. i'm not saying your taste in anime sucks or anything .. but please tell me and convince me . |
| You just don't know how to pick your shows. |
 |
| It all started with cowboy bebop. |
 |
| You are right, most of the series nowadays are not that good. There are still some good shows though, even if they are very few. You just have to look for them and pick the genres of your preference (for example if you don't like excessive fanservice don't choose an ecchi anime). |
| how did it start with bebop ._. k |
FirasMas said: how did it start with bebop ._. k He/she is making fun of your post and NO. Anime is same as always except animation getting better. In 90's anime industry was busy making violent garbage ovas and now they are making bad adaptations. There were some good anime in that era and now there are some good anime in this era. |
| Maybe anime is just not for you anymore. I have a massive backlog through which I'll never go through, but would want to if I had the time. |
| Well... you could say that. What's happening actually is vice versa. Pre 2000 anime had actually incredibile storywriting, but not a good animation. While anime nowdays have great animation but crap story. It's like they waste a huge buget on a shitty story. |

It's like they waste a huge buget on a shitty story. but i don't care about the animation .. why would someone like an anime only for it's art ?! .. i agree with the vise versa thing ... and damn it's so irritating .. i hope all animes industries enjoy printing money over nothing . |
| Sometimes I dream of the cliff that anime fell off back in the 60s, and I think, "wow, anime sure is shit these days." |
| It's easy to feel that older anime were superior when you've never actually come across crap titles from the 80's & 90's to burst that bubble. The reality is you see more bad anime because anime is more accessible than ever before. |

This ^ People only remember the good shows from 90's and 80's that's why everybody thinks old anime is way better but think within 20 years, people would only remember the good shows from our time and again people would say "our anime now is crap" and not..is just that bad shows are forgotten |

| look at all these masterpieces 10 years ago http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:2004_anime_television_series now look at 2014 BCE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:2014_anime_television_series coincidence? you decide the older anime are more serious on average |
 |
| Im guessing you just watched Glasslip |
 |
| Anime has been going rapidly downhill ever since the year 2000 happened. There are still a few gems out there, but you really have to sift through a stinking pile of crap to find them. |

Now go watch Ping Pong and tell me if anime is going dowhill. |
| Only 90s kids remember |
 |
| You just need to keep searching. Think of entertainment in general as a treasure hunt. |
 |
| Anime has always been bad. |
FirasMas said: am i the only one Yes, you are. You little ignorant special snow flake :3 |
 |
| it was cool back in my days in the 80s |
 |
| Nope! |
| OP, look up Sturgeon's Law and then reconsider your question. It's always been this way. It's just that the decent titles stand the test of time while the generic otaku bait disappears into the fog of history. |
| Somewhere, there is an unplugged toaster sitting on a Coleman stove. Does it feel lonely? |
| You say anime is going downhill and yet you give that bullshit show terror in resonance an 8, noragami a 7 and the crap berserk adaptation a 9 ? No, anime hasn't gone downhill, maybe you have shit taste you Watanabe fanboy. |
 |
| so much salt, anime's getting better by every day cause there's always more, it's not like all of the old titles are suddenly disappearing you can still watch old anime if you want to =) you want the past it's right there |

| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Uh oh, it's an old vs. new argument all over again. Shit exists each year. Maybe there's just more shit because there's more anime recently. |
| Another one of this arguments. There has always been good shows and bad shows, the only thing it takes is to search well. |

Honeslty, I prefer to turn off my brain for this kind of video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWNqr9VMAzQ than brainless animes like Fairy Tail, Gurren Lagann who try so much to be serious. But I'm kinda in the same thought of the OP. Like this post I'm made before. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1271005&show=0#post1 |

Log Horizon and Psycho-Pass are very enjoyable though. Anyone know how the new Yu-Gi-Oh shows are? I liked the first three. |
| haven't seen one of these threads in a while... |

| Nothing's changed where quality is concerned. Absolutely nothing. silverwalls said: haven't seen one of these threads in a while... Yeah, we used to get these about 3-4 times a day. |
 |
| Cause fanservice sells, I guess :/ |
| Everything is going down hill... music,movies,tv shows, the iphone6 (lel) There are always a few good apples though. |

sullynathan said: nanny96 said: "that bullshit show terror in resonance" "Shingeki no Kyojin ---> 10" Ahh. Funny because you gave Hunter x Hunter a 10 i like the berserk part. |
| It isn't going downhill, it is just on the same level as 10 years ago, but because it is more excessible people find more shows they dislike. And there are really a lot of shows that aired in the "90s that are really bad. |
