The thread about MAL dying made me wonder what kind of people even use this forum. Are we full of veterans or corona tourists or is it a good mix?

probably a doomer or boomer... I'm unsure when I watched my first anime, but it was during my childhood

and I misread a bit and read "I'm a corona" (started during the covid pandemic)
... yeah, shit :D

I started actively watching just some months before Death Note came out so I'm technically also a doomer.

I started in mid 2020 but not because of Corona, it just happened to be the time when I got recommened to try watching anime and didn't expect to like watching it this much.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

It kind of depends because if I count anime I watched when I was really young then I would be a doomer, but if I am not counting that then I am a coomer because I consistently began watching anime again about eight years ago in 2014.

Yes older people sometimes call 2002-2006 (+/- 1 year) the dark age of anime because not a lot of good anime came out during that time, compared to before and after.

Yw. I can’t remember the exact season I started watching anime, but it was either 1-2 seasons after MHA aired back in 2016.

I'm not sure where I'd fall on this poll. I watched anime back in the 70s, but it was a LONG time before I dived back in (about 10-11 years ago) and got really hooked.

1999 is a bit close to that 2000 cutoff, but it is what it is. Guess I'm a boomer.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

Just watch the first 14 episodes and then drop it. You can also watch the new movie which is basically just a better version of the first arc.

As an ancient skeleton myself, this sentiment is hilarious to me. I consider 1980 to 2009 the golden age. Most anime before 1980 is a bit rough, and anime after 2009 just doesn't satisfy me.

2000 to 2009 was particularly incredible.



Banger after banger. But anime took a steep dive afterwards in my eyes, with only a few highlights here and there. After 2009 I just lost interest entirely, the premise of most shows and the horrid modern art style just lost me, so I stopped watching anime for years. (actually I'm still not watching anything current, but I do see some interesting shows popular at the moment, so they're on the backlog)

I watched some anime here and there my whole life.. Like some random stuff on TV.. But majorly I got into anime after I finished school.. So after 2012.. Did this period felt like coom anime?.. I don't know.. I think I can enjoy some ecchi.. But also when I started - seasonals weren't as a popular thing.. So I've first watched such stuff as Haruhi, Death Note, Spice and Wolf, Oreimo, Clannad, some other ones.. So I think that starting in certain year can also mean that with some chance you started with the anime behind that year.. Not everyone are into seasonals, especially getting into anime first..
