How would you feel if they stopped making Moe anime and no longer focused on cute girls doing cute things?
| What if this entire style was ditched and anime went back to its 80s and 90s roots and focused primarily on badass gory fighting shows with manly protagonists and philosophical cyberpunk stories? Would you still continue to watch new anime? Edit: In this scenario anime becomes more popular than ever before. |

| then the list of anime i watch would pretty much die by like 90% :( and uh... what? those shows existed in the 90s as well.... |
   |
| If shounen slice of life was still being produced I would watch that (still cute, but focuses more on comedy than diabetes). If they also stopped making that then I would mainly stick to shows that had already aired. Shoujo shows tend to be cute and I doubt they could afford to cut those out as well. |
  |
| BD sales would plummet and Japan would implode. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Probably quit watching/watch a lot less. Was never a huge fan of 90's anime, and badass gory fighting shows get old.. Really fast. |

Waifu_Strangler said: How could it? There are some interesting fighting anime, but the generic ones tend to be much more boring than generic CGDCT. There are also some really interesting CGDCT so it doesn't "get old". The genre has such a simple base that it's easy to change and make very interesting while keeping the main core.DJAnime said: Probably quit watching/watch a lot less.

Don't know if being serious or not. Most CGDCT's just insults my intelligence as a human being. |

But you cant tell me you wouldn't get bored of only watching badass gory fighting shows all the time. I would but not as quickly as I would Moe sol's. However I don't think you've watched enough moe/sol/girls doing cute things to call them boring really (I went through your list, not sure if you've added everything you've watched). Saying that gory badass fighting should replace the current market is ridiculous, anime is growing bigger and even more popular then when it was in the 90's. |

Waifu_Strangler said: Shirobako, Sora no Woto, Poor Sisters Story, Baseball Girls, Yama no Susume, Gakkougurashi, Hibike Euphonium, and Non Non Biyori are all about cute girls doing cute things but they're all unique and interesting. I'm sure there's diversity in the action genre as well (historical action can be even more interesting than slice of life), but it tends to be harder to write a really good action anime than it is to write a good SoL anime, so there are less of them. If all the studios were forced to abandon their regular style and adopt the style of 90s action anime I can assure you that most of them would have a hard time adjusting and would generally do a bad job.DJAnime said: Never said it didn't, too much of anything gets boring.

| Am I the only one who would feel relieved? |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| watch less anime, read more manga... trends is always change, and i don't see any problem with that... |

I haven't added everything I've seen onto my list but I like plenty of newer anime but it's mostly stuff like the works of Yuasa that interest me now. Psychological and dementia types are strong nowadays. There's just not enough of them. That said anime is bigger now than it was in the 90s not because of cute girl shows but because of the internet and availability. |

| Moe fans would have to resort to hanging around outside schools with binoculars to get their fill of cute girls. A lot of MAL users would get arrested. |

| Maybe that way people would acknowledge the big loss behind trying to get rid of a «genre» that is just a fan construction to group stuff that has little to do and is actually very varied aside from one or two vague generalities. |

| I think I would totally be ok with this. |
TsundereHeart said: How would you feel if people stopped making dumb threads implying that old anime was "so much better" than new anime OT: idc that much. I'd probably be fine. I would be pretty upset tbh. The world needs to have the superiority of older anime shoved in its face. |
|
| I honestly don't really know how many shows I've seen fit the criteria to be CGDCT (guessing not many) but it wouldnt hurt to have some Armitage IIIs and Ninja Scrolls once in a while. |
 |
| I'll legitimately be happy and be able to binge anime again without fear of losing my sanity |
| Hell yeah would still watch, manly badass protagonists ftw. |
 |
| You're not digging deep enough, clearly we have to go back to the 60s and 70s with popular slice of life shows like Sazae-san. Or if your insistent on focusing on the 90s we could focus on Shin-chan with its comedy dubs, or Chibi Maruko-chan and their massive size. On a more serious note though if all anime was focused on action it would generally become a lot less interesting. I mean comedy is literally the largest genre by a grand margin so cutting out a subset of that and changing the industry focus is not only dumb but generally makes no sense from a market or fanbase standpoint. Also think about this logically "gory anime is the focus" we might as well translate that to "how would you like to watch black screens every season? But we know you love the overtly edgy crap so more money plz" I mean we've come along way from back in the 90s when Cowboy Bebop was considered too graphic for some stations but when the censors come you're sure to know. As for my personal feelings, why would I want them to take away my easygoing feel good shows? Where I can just sit back relax have a good laugh every now and again, but still get emotionally invested in the likable characters being presented. |

| I wouldn't mind as long as my lolis and imoutos remain. If they stopped making them too, I'd RAGE QUIT And I'm the kind of guy who thinks most anime before 2010 was terrible. So again, No. |
 |
| I'd vote for Trump-kun to make anime cute again. The very thought of ceasing cute girls doing cute things is maddening and simply laughable. OP I laugh at you. So do the lolis. |
 |
| It wouldn't change my life because I pretty much don't watch those shows. The ones of those I do watch would've been fine without the moe shit anyway. |

Waifu_Strangler said: That's just my another way of saying that anime since 2010 has been getting much better than the anime before 2010. You think most anime before 2010 was terrible? Wow that's just idiotic on so many levels. Older anime feels hilarious when compared to the post 2010 anime. And don't forget, most of the top 100 and most popular list are made from post 2010 era I think it's even more idiotic to think than most older anime was better than most modern anime |

Because the only thing more cringeworthy than fanboying anime prior to a vague year, is randomly calling out a type of anime and setting it as a target to work as a makeshift platform to spew the blatant fanboying of retro anime. |
| I wouldn't really be able to enjoy anime as much, tbh. |

Again you missed the point of this thread. Except what part of your original post would show anything contrary to that? Were you hoping for a circlejerk of people fawning over your hypothetical scenario where the anime industry rehashed the same exact type of cherry picked show descriptions that you laid out for 40 years? Were you hoping to get people to bash the types of shows listed in the title? Or is it just witch hunting for the fans who wouldn't want to keep watching so you can make sarcastic jabs at them? I mean just look at a few of your last posts it's turning into a old vs new thread. |

I made the thread because I thought it'd be interesting to see what replies id get and see if Moe culture was the only reason they watched anime. You need to chill brah. |
