| time travel in anime could be a really good thing if executed properly. Do you agree? |
 |
| don't we already have like a lot of it tho? |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| no, time traveling at will is a cool concept but a very easy plot theme to fuck up. steins gate is the only show ive seen that has done it right and its obvious a lot of thought went into steins gate. its different when its something like re:zero where you have to die or something to go back to a certain time. but doing so at will is a very difficult story element to pull off. |
| It's enough. I mean, I don't want the industry try hard to do a certain concept / plot. They will come up when the time is right. |

Long_Ng said: i think erased was pretty good.. :) imoI don't think so. Any Genre is good if you executed it well, but some genre is harder to do than others. Time travel is one of them (personally, harem is also one of them) in recent seasons, we have Erased, Re:zero, and Orange. While i didn't see Orange yet, Erased, as a time travel seri, is very bad. Re:zero is barely qualify there're only a couple good time travel anime out there, and for good reason, it's hard to make |

| Time travel in anime is never a good idea, same as isekai and imouto. |
 |
| why bother when you can watch time bokan, yatterman and mach go go go |

Other anime which also deal with the topic time and technically count for me too are. Orange ReLife Kimi no Na wa I think that's a lot, especially compared to other years, so yeah, it was at it's high. |

| Well time travel is like Pandora's box. It is very easy to screw it up so better stay away from it.

In a sense the time was rewinded for that person, so I count it to that category too and going to school again could also be interpreted as a metaphorical approach of the time travel aspect. At least that's how I see it. |

| Back in the day it was a cool concept. Nowadays we've seen it way too many times, just like the "protagonist who travels to another world"-anime (SOA, Re:Zero, Konosuba). Which I dont like at all, Konosuba is kinda funny. But for the comedy i'd rather watch shows like Nichijou. Kimi no Na Wa was an amazing example of how to give "time travel/swap" theme new life. But these concepts mostly only work for 1 or 2 series/movies before it gets old. Personally i'd like too see more series like The Ancient Magus Bride. But also mecha series (I know it's not very populair in the west) but still a few series that are in alot of people's top 10, are mecha shows. Like Gurren Lagann, Code Geass and Neon Genesis Evangelion. My guess is there will be some shows like Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, in upcoming seasons. Which I dont mind, because there concepts that sound like shit on paper. Sometimes turn out to be amazing. |

| There are more then enough time travel anime. |

| pretty sure there are many anime with time travel lol |

|
| No not really. Not unless they have some great new interesting idea, if they don't then they should just stay away from that "genre" of anime. We have already got a lot of time travel anime. |

| I just want anime to adapt Rokujouma arc Blue Knight and Silver Princess. That's how you do time travel. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Stiens;gate, the girl who kept through time, future diary, Orange, Erased,Kimi no na wa, Re:Zero and a bunch that i don't even know about but either way don't think there's a need to make more. |

| No more granpa paradoxes or doom-loops please. Neutral on time-exploration, but would prefer future over past. |
| Sure why not. "if executed properly" Unlikely but yes. |
| I don't agree. Like some people have said, it will be a hard to make plot. Also imo too convenient. It would need a weakness. |
| No please. No. I wouldnt want this to be a sub genre like issekai. |
"When you made this thread, I cried and screamed" -Swagernator 2017 |
| Yes,i absolutely loves Animes which have time travel theme mainly because i get to see how those said characters looks in their past or future or how was/is their personality at that particular time |
| >Executed >Time Travel Pfft Classic sitcom ya got there Bruh.. These PRETENTIOUS Groundhog loop settings are just bunch of petty stereotype that depicts absurd mental AUTISTIC issues |

 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| It was popular a few years back, probably because of influence from shows like Steins;Gate and Suffering Magical Girls but the overuse of it has made it become less appealing and became a bit stagnant. Definitely doesn't give off the same impact like it does anymore, that or a lot of shows these days just execute it poorly. Though I always enjoy seeing the main characters of a different timeline/age/era, like characters meeting their older selves or friends. |
| Come out of your shell and watch steins gate |
 |
| I love me some kind of time travel, time looping, time resetting. So I'm all for it. Even garbage tends to be enjoyable for me if it has time travel :>. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| There isn't a need. S;G is the only one I can think of off the top of my head that actually did it right. At least, sort of... |
"Man always thinks about the past before he dies, as if he were frantically searching for proof that he truly lived." -Jet Black (Cowboy Bebop)  |
| I'll take your point as "should time travel be on the same level of popularity as, say, shounen, harem, or isekai." "if executed properly" ^ This is the key word. Time travel is very easy to fuck up, and when you did fuck it up, everything falls apart. Considering the quality most "bandwagon anime" have right now, I don't see this being a good thing. |
 |
| Everything is a good thing if it executed properly but there's no time travel executed properly. |

| No it is overused already in anime. . |
 |
Then, what isn't overused in anime? Basically every topic just got severel anime - some are good, some are pretty shit. Last years was time travel, now it's isekai. |
 |
| Time travel is my favorite plot element ever in any kind of medium. Can't get enough of it. But I agree that it's hard to execute it well. |

DrGeroCreation said: Endlosschleife said: MILFs, steampunk, cyberpunk, underwater settings, non mecha military , adult female main protagonists etc.Then, what isn't overused in anime? Steampunk and cyberpunk got used a lot before 00's. And non-mecha military wo'nt sell good in japan, so this has to be cut out. |
|
| Not for Steampunk. Steamboy , Last Exile are the only pure steampunk anime I know. |
|
| I don't mind it, but... I would prefer it focused more on sci-fi part, not the drama or some bullshit additions without explaining why the time travel works. *cough* Erased *cough*. |
 |
| Depends on the anime, if its plausible to add time travel concept its okay. But to tell if its going to be bad or good, depends on its execution, established rules of time travel so we'll see its limitation, then the range of how many times the time traveller will experienced time travels or loops, especially if the loops were a suffering one. |
