Zeroflamez said: Actually there's only 6 isekai series this season, last I heard.GlennMagusHarvey said: Fads have happened since forever. Moë was a fad for a while. Mecha was a fad back in the day. My problem isn't that these fad anime are being produced but the sheer volume of it being produced. In past decades the Fad Anime would only get like 1-2 shows a season opposed to like 15 today. But more relevantly, there were just fewer things being made in the past, overall. Probably useful to keep in mind that just because stuff gets made doesn't mean it's worth checking out. I think that's a mistake that some people make -- they feel the desire to keep up with the season, which ends up with them checking out a lot of stuff that just isn't to their tastes, rather than picking out only the stuff they like and ignoring the rest. Can lead to a magnification of stuff they don't like, and also burnout and resentment against them, because they're forcing themselves to wade through stuff they don't like due to a fear-of-missing-out. I have no plans to watch the vast majority of anime works, including a variety of famous and/or critically-acclaimed series, and I shouldn't PTW stuff just because other people are talking about the current season's shows. Also I fixed your quote formatting. Kinda. I was too lazy to properly re-add my own post's tag so I just stuck my name on my text. Zeroflamez said: If you're actually a fan of those genres but also find they frequently miss the mark for you, I totally understand the feeling. It's kinda like how I end up looking into a lot of things with what I think are nice character designs only to be dismayed by how they're fanservicey (a thing I don't like), as opposed to simply letting the attractive character designs stand on their own.Hey_Taka-tin_Hey said: I've said this in about two hundred threads already, but it only seems that way because of the sheer volume of anime being produced. Which is straight-up ridiculous. The percentage of bad anime being pumped out never changed. It's the same all the way from the 80s to current times. The problem is since there are so many shows released on a yearly basis, it becomes harder to wade through the mud. In short, it's much more pleasing to scroll through 10 bad shows and 5 good ones than 40 (!!!!!!) bad ones and 20 good ones. It's all about the freaking volume and how it is perceived. I absolutely agree with this. Every season it's like I sit there and just shift through all the over produced genres that look the same hoping to maybe get lucky and find something that looks different.

| Slice of life has routinely put out the best anime there is, and in fact most, if not all, of Japan's best cultural exports have literally just been slice of shit.

Zeroflamez said: TolkienFan365 said: Ecchi has been cut down since 2010 but okay. Seriously every year someone is going to say this. It always was over saturated with mediocre content there wasn't a treasure trove of amazing stuff in the past. It's just easy to wade through older stuff than seasonals in finding content you like. Plus you literally gave Kimestu no Yaiba and Mob Psycho 100 S2 two 9's and are complaining about anime this year???? Seems to me you got two shows you enjoyed that you apparently highly rated. Just because you don't get the appeal of SOL anime doesn't mean they should no longer exist. I love SOL shows and want to continue seeing them as does a good majority of this community. You have plenty of action oriented shonen out there for you. You misunderstand me. I don't believe these genres shouldn't exist. I've enjoyed Visual Novel adaptions like Fate, I've enjoyed slice of life like GTO, I've enjoyed Ecchi like How Heavy are the Dumb Bells you lift? It's just there's too many of the kind of Genres I listed that are overly produced every season. I have no problem with people that enjoy Slice of Life or Ecchi LN adaptions. It's just too much of it is being produced leaving next to nothing for others than want to see other genres adapted. Those genres have to prove they are cost efficient. Look I want more war dramas or historical titles but those types of shows have different issues and may not attract a sizable enough audience. Is there are a lot of mediocre shows that come out every season yeah. That said what would you have those studios do? Do a high pace action series with animation like Kimetsu no Yaiba well um we don't have the time or talent for that? Do a massive war drama on the scale of LOTGH well again same issue. Many of those shows are easier to produce. Just because those shows get produced doesn't mean they are taking assets away from some mythical other show you are talking about. Point to me where the genres that you want or think there should be more of are selling in the LN or manga sphere. Or originals that have done well? If they are a production committee will take a shot at it. For better or worse this industry is pretty reactive to the customer. If they see it will sell it will get made. Also again literally the amount of ecchi titles have gone down. You have been here since 2010 I mean have you looked back on how much that stuff dominated that year? Way more notable ones than today. Slice of life is also pretty varied from something comedic or dramatic. Saying there is too much again is your subjective view. |

| There's been Boku No Hero S4 & Seven Deadly Sins: War of Wrath for battle shounen fans to watch this season. I'd never watched seasonal shows as they were airing until earlier this year in Spring 2019. I've been pleasantly surprised how many good shows from a range of genres there is available. When I hear people bemoaning how's there's nothing decent to watch despite the record high number of newly airing shows coming out each season, I wonder if they're checking out the same websites as me, if they're even in my reality. I wonder if people have their expectations set too high. I could see how some people may not like all or most of the shows coming out each season, but to say that none of them are worth watching is so far off the mark imo. I think the majority of shows are a decent standard. Having picked anime back up earlier this year after personal reasons gave me more time on my hands, I've been in astonishment of the sheer amount and quality of all the new anime being presented to me each season, by all these wonderful studios. |

So no I don't know what threads are repeatedly posted. this is like... top 3 most unoriginal opinions anyone who watches anime can have and just because something is repetitive doesn't make it trash, i mean, most of what you see in anime today goes back to the 80s, yet people are still watching and loving anime |

I never said that because these shows are being produced that they are taking away assets from other potential Anime. Production Companies can easily test new Genres and shows through OVA's like they used to. Make 1-2 episodes. If people don't buy then you don't have to commit. My point is they don't even seem to want to give niche titles or genres even a chance. Kobayasan said: Aha a "Why do they keep making Isekai" thread in disguise. There are a few watch worthy shows each season so why would you focus on the bad ones? I don't focus on the bad ones but when bad and average ones make up 95% of the list it's kind of hard not to. I'm not one for ratings but even the ratings on the seasonal charts are all mostly 6's and below. Haunt-Me said: It's why I started reading manga heavily in 2010 til now.

| @Zeroflamez I feel like you could say that for majority of the seasons, i just went through all the seasons from 2006(which is widely considered one of the best years for anime) and while 2 seasons were great two were filled with junk. There was always some sort of over-saturation weather it be battle shonen, idol shows, mahou shoujo or light novel adaptations, years like 2006 are remembered for the anime that defined it, there were still a lot of forgotten ones. |

It makes me wonder why these people on this thread continue to cape for these adaptions so much. Everything is rated 6 or below nearly every season except for the outliers.

As I said I don't have a problem with Light Novel Adaptions or whatever else is popular now being created. I just think the industry is limiting itself by producing more of the same thing instead of producing different things. Also for someone calling me a Shounen Fag you have an awful lot of Light Novel adaptions in your list. I guess I did hit a soft spot? |

I don't think this so much signals a change in the industry so much as what we're seeing of it. Besides, we're at a point where the fandoms big enough that the anime would probably get fansubbed regardless. I mean the manga versions of a lot of these series get fan translations a good long while before the anime is even announced, so that's a good indicator that there's a demand for these stories in the West. |

Like, stepping back I can look at animes I love, like Love Live, and realize it's not great. But, because it has such emotional value to me, I do think it's a good series. And looking at your recommended list, Mirai Nikki is easily one of my least favorite animes, but I'm not going to think you're mentally inferior to me for liking it. Taste is subjective. If I ever argue with someone it's almost always withing good humor. |

I love Azumanga Daioh, Cowboy Bebop, Mushishi, Yuru Camp, Girls' last tour, Only yesterday, Sora no Woto, Chihayafuru. All of them are different and approach routine in clearly distinct ways, with different core values and unique viewpoints about life, moral and emotional significance. Some are about learning and finding motivation, others are about lazing out, others are about finding refuge in routine. Some are about friendship, some about love, some about loneliness. Some have fights and stakes, some don't. Some are about connecting with the characters, some about connecting with an overall mood or an environment. When people mention slice of life, they usually mean a very specific sort of. And I have no doubt any reductive approach is inaccurate in any genre or label, but it's particularly untrue for this one because slice of life is literally a blank canvas that allows any kind of focus and interpretation as long as it portrays and observes routine. I was less serious about the whole "oversaturation" of power fantasies, it doesn't really bother me, I like the few I've tried, the rest I can ignore. But that they haven't stopped existing and being popular is quite true, they typically have a wide audience, so their presence in the medium is guaranteed. |

| @Zeroflamez Uh... not really I mean that was the whole reason anime started to end up on TV was the OVA market crashed as Japan economically declined. Physical sales aren't really super high. You rarely see them lots are really just again promotional material to get people to buy manga. At the end of the day they already are testing them in manga and LN where anime gets most of its content from. Still it's not like you don't have a few occasional unique originals. Next year has a lot of potential for that side of the industry. I mean it's not like the 80's or 90's were just filled with genre variety they had their own trends that they kept to. Ideally sure the industry makes tons of varied shows for a variety of audiences but I just don't see the feasibility for it. |
| Alot of these posts are shitting on the OP, tuff. But to be honest it is an opinion thing and in my opinion i like the shows I watch, but I'm sort of picky. |

Japan's economy is doing very well and so is Anime. It wouldn't hurt much to experiment a bit with different audiences. Just because something didn't sell when it was publishing doesn't mean it can't be reintroduced and have success with fans today. |
