| I want to make a 2010's retrospective video either at the end of this year or at the start of 2020. I am asking for some Anime you think defined this decade in advance so I have time to watch most of them before making the video. What Anime do you think defined the 2010's? |

| Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica ....... |
| Sword Art Online. Not that it necessarily has a bunch of novel ideas, but the series showed how profitable isekai light novels with a self insert protag can be. |
| Definitely Usagi Drop (2011) as the most popular Josei title. |
| Attack on Titan is a given; breaks into mainstream and not afraid of anything |
 |

| Attack on Titan, SAO, OPM, Jojo, every popular isekai, MHA, Kimi no Nawa, Monogatari series. Here, pick your poison. |
| Jolyne Kuujou + Steel Ball Run Universe = Billie Eillish |
| Sword art edgeboi,Shingeki no screaming...*sight* That one music club 2nd Season,Madoka magica,Steins;Gate,One fist man Reflecting on some of them i must say that the 2010s compared to the 2000s, 1990s etc. where pretty trash. |

| 3-gatsu no Lion, Durarara!!, Kill la Kill, Boku no Hero Academia |
| Def aot and sao. But a few shows came out in 2009 that influenced both, sao more so, and many others to this day.. for better or worse you'd have to agree K-On! and Suzumiya Haruhi made an impact on art styles and helped cement moe into anime. |

Thanjh said: BestBoiEren said: Did you read what the OP was even asking for? If you want decade defining anime then those two are definitely options regardless of if you think they're good.mha is trash and probly like 10 people know about monogatari so those are out aot and sao easily. I did and I answered the ops question. Those 2 are definitely not defining anything. How can a trash shounen which copies everything from previous shounen and even do worse on the execution part define anything? OP didn't ask for most popular shows of the decade, so maybe you didn't read the title. And while popularity doesn't matter a show can't define anything if like 10 people watch it -monogatari- which again, didn't do anything new, just your usual harem but its boring conversations instead of some isekai shit |
| So far, Madoka Magica or Shingeki no Kyojin. This is all I can think about. Or the idol genre in general. |

oh I forgot since I dislike the show but Space Dandy at least important in terms of dubs for the industry for those that care about that  https://myanimelist.net/anime/20057/Space_Dandy |

| Sword Art Online has definitely shaped anime in the 2010s - spawning a thousand imitators and popularising that specific collection of fantasy ideas that make up the isekai 'genre'. Whether it's good or not is debatable - whether it's influential or not isn't. I wouldn't say Madoka Magica has really defined the 2010s. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the show, but when I think back across the decade about what the anime scene and community was like in general, I don't really think 'darker interpretations of formerly fluffy genres' was the prevalent thing. Like, what came out of Madoka Magica's popularity? There was that Il Sole Penetre la Illusioni show, which was terrible, and this season's Granbelm, which I'll certainly get round to watching, but what else was defined by it? It was a much harder act to follow than SAO, because most writers aren't Urobuchi and most composers aren't Kajiura. Its success was a much less repeatable thing, so I think it had less of a defining impact. Speaking of Urobuchi and Kajiura, though, you know my pick? Fate/Zero. We've had, erm, quite a few Nasuverse shows this decade, and it was Fate/Zero that paved the way. Unlike Madoka Magica, which was an original property, Fate/Zero already had the work it was a prequel of ripe for another adaptation - and all the myriad spinoffs to tide us over until then. After DEEN's flop on the Fate route, they could very well have just not bothered with Nasu's weird-ass idea and complicated worlds - but Fate/Zero showed it was possible. And, well, we're still getting Fate right up to this season, so the rest is history. |
| K-On!! - created 1001 Moe blob clones, but still is the definition of the genre and made KyoAni a powerhouse Monogatari Series - Took writing and visuals to another level Steins;Gate - Most popular (not rated) series on MAL, redefined Sci-Fi Sword Art Online - Who said "defined" has to be a good thing? But certainly Isekai became a thing with it. Attack on Titan - In a stroke of genius invented the meat Meccha genre, replacing the metal versions They were released early (2010/2011), thus "defined the decade". |

| Even if they're not my favourite ones, I would say : - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - My hero academia - One Punch Man - Shingeki no Kyojin - Steins;Gate - Sword Art Online |
Sorry for the long list, but I believe any of these would be a great addition to your video (not including movies):

| Your name DBZ Super besides the rest already mentioned |

| K-on would probably be the most influential anime of the 2010's. As well as creating the whole MOE genre it pretty much changed the artstlye if the industry as a whole, brought CGDCT anime to the place it is now and made a powerhouse out of KyoAni. I cant think of a show that's had a bigger impact. |

I'm not sure if they all are inspired by K-On! |

| Nichijou, basically an Azumanga Daioh on steroid. Honestly considering that is a 26 episodes show I can't think of an another anime that is not a movie or ova with the same quality when it comes to animation. |

I cant think of a show that's had a bigger impact. K-On! deserves a spot because no other show in its genre has become that big but it didn't really start any trend. Like everything it does has been done before and not by obscure franchises. I would actually mention that show along with Attack on Titan, Sword Art Online and Madoka Magica. I think they define perfectly some of the major trends in this decade. But K-On! is a more successful version of an already successful formula at the time. It's not like it invented moe, CGDCT, and its associated tropes. |

Stein;Gate (one of the best scifi ever imo) Sword Art Online (started popularize isekai) Kill la Kill (Trigger) HunterxHunter 2011 (shounen that makes other try to fill its shoes) Fate/Zero (How story and great animation can make a great show) Tokyo Ghoul/ Attack on titan (How dark edgy shows with bad story raised) |

First K-on is like from 2007. Second, K-on have nothing to do with idol gerne. |

| I'm surprised nobody mentioned Idolm@ster and Love Live. They are both huge in Japan. Also, I believe Free! popularized the "reverse CGDCT" trend. |
 |
| In terms of influence in the industry no better example than SAO |
Deknijff said: Never forget the salt dude https://myanimelist.net/anime/18857/Ore_no_Imouto_ga_Konnani_Kawaii_Wake_ga_Nai_Specials Why you don't put in a jar of spoiler, that's too much sugar. On topic it's Sword Art Online but hey I might be a bit bias here. |
| Sword Art Online. It's also the best anime of the decade |
| SAO obviously, this isekai shits started with that trash. Popular doesn't mean defining, but SAO really shaped anime and light novel industry. AoT and OPM although are equally popular, didn't bring something new in this decade. Madoka Magica and Monogatari are also good candidates, but hey no one is close enough with SAO. K-On was basically only a "climax" of CGDCT animes, and Fate/zero was only a starter of Fate franchise booming. And we should not forget the popularity of idol animes like Love Live and Idolmaster in early 2010s too. |

"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| The first one that comes to mind is definitely K-ON!! I mean, it may have not invented moe SoL, but it sure as hell started a trend this decade. Others would be Kimi no Na wa, Madoka Magica, Love Live, SAO, SnK... Basically what they all have in common is that they are genre-(re)defining anime that impacted their little niche and became a staple of their genres. |
 |
| Id have to say sword art online for leading the genres of isekai and power fantasies and introducing the RPG like setting that is in so many animes now Also the hate train sao got sure helped keeping it relevant for years now |

JustMonaka said: I don't mind that since I was already gonna include Love Live since that is what helped me get back into Anime in 2016. Also because, even though the idol genre already existed, Love Live was the first one to really blow up.I'm surprised nobody mentioned Idolm@ster and Love Live. They are both huge in Japan. Also, I believe Free! popularized the "reverse CGDCT" trend. |

| if I had to pick one for each year: 2011: Madoka Magica (HM: Steins;Gate) 2012: SAO (HM: High School DxD) 2013: AOT (HM: Kill la Kill) 2014: NGNL (HM: Tokyo Ghoul or Your Lie in April) 2015: OPM (HM: Overlord) 2016: BNHA (HM: Re:Zero or KonoSuba) To be perfectly honest, 2017, 2018 and 2019 have seriously lacked new shows (non-sequels) that really took hold of the whole community. So with that perspective in mind, I don't think we've recently had any shows that defined or redefined the scope of anime in any profound way. |
A group of girls managed by some adult, making music, becoming popular, being moe. Yes, K-On! did never ever influence any other genre than keionism. Jesus Christ, you even know what "incluence" means? |

| SAO, because it's all been fucking garbage. |
 |
| Attack on Titan, Sword Art Online, One Punch Man, My Hero Academia and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure probably. They'll probably be the 5 remembered for many years to come. |
| Sword Art Online anime series,Angel Beats,Second season of K-On,High School DxD,Monogatari Series,Overlord,Re:Zero,Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works,KonoSuba,Madoka Magica,Kimetsu No Yaiba,Steins Gate,Steins Gate 0,Tokyo Ghoul series,Love Live series,IdolMaster,Carnival Phantasm,Guilty Crown,GochiUsa,Bunny Girl Senpai,The Pet Girl of Sakurasou,Hyouka,Durarara!,Charlotte,Girls Und Panzer,Akame Ga Kill,Koe no Katachi,Kimi no Na Wa and Violet Evergarden are only animes that i can think of that defined the 2010's. They are good enough to be somewhat memorable to almost anyone who liked them and enjoyed them. |
