AnimeXHunter said:
"another"? There was never a masterpiece anime, it´s all trash.

EriitoSenshi said:


Uh.. Sword art was my first and fav... then I watched what like 50 anime so far? Still my fav LOL

I'm talking about the community's rank attitude of lapping up any series, hyping them up to eleven, and treating shows like its the best thing since slice bread for merely not having fanservice or "dem dumfuk teenagerz".

What anime surpassed it? How is it flawed when the people and the critics say it's the best? With your argument we could never decide what anime was the best

What @GamerUnglued said. And Your Name, for example, is surpassed by two of Shinkai's own works, The Place Promised in our Early Days and Garden of Words.

i don't actually think there is a "best anime".. why does there have to be a best anime? and why does there always have to be a "masterpiece?"


Keijo is a masterpiece, but youknowumsayin???

i think many are just getting fed up with the harem/fanservice shows that come out every season. personally i enjoyed qzgs because it was a lot of fun to watch, they could really work on the women though, they're pretty bland for the most part. either way, i wouldn't have gathered that point had you not explained it lol

Yikes. Unfortunately, the answer is never. The quality of anime started declining rapidly after School Days (2007) finished airing. The fact that it has a below 7 rating on here is testament enough that true masterpieces will never get the recognition they deserve.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu IS a modern day masterpiece btw

That question is hard to answer, since it depends on what you consider a masterpiece. As far as history goes, the year a boom occurs masterpiece quality anime come in droves. As far as scoring goes, there's at least 1 or 2 in a two year span. To receive a 10 from me a show must receive a 9.6 average score, must deliver on my expectations near perfectly and have no big plot or story flaws, or it must be thought-provoking, emotion-provoking, and entertaining to the highest degree. If an anime can accomplish any of these three things, I will have no qualms giving it a 10.

carpaccio said:

reread my post, i never said there were many that come out every season. i also never mentioned anything about scores on harem/fanservice shows. not to mention, a show don't gotta be harem to be fanservice.

Kuraokani said:
But that's never been done. I highly doubt there will ever be a 10/10 by the majority (it's possible but the show would have to be of another cloth)

You'll get another masterpiece when you stop circlejerking MAL's scores and start watching shows without giving a shit about their score. I'm not trying to be an elitist here, but it's called judging based on what you think, not on what the community thinks.

A show might be highly rated because it appeals to the general community, like how Your Name was in cinemas and is probably some people's first taste in anime (gonna make a MAL account and rate it a 10) and like how Deathnote's premise is very different to a normal shounen & is probably the first of its kind. Even a show like Gintama (which I'm a huge fan of) has a rabid fanbase who will rate every season it gets a 10, oblivious to drops in quality.

However, saying that they are all masterpieces makes me want to question whether you have actually seen and analysed these shows... or just have an unconscious set mindset of rating everything highly rated on MAL high for the sake of conformation.

tl;dr mal's rating system has flaws, so don't call stuff masterpieces just because of their high rating and reviews.

AniMatt17 said:

Of course there will never be an anime that has a perfect ten, or anywhere near it. It's the same reason why an anime will never have a one. The ratings are based on people's opinons--that's why I'm being lenient on what's considered a masterpiece in general. If a show is well received and is in the top 25 or so, I'll just say its the best of the best.

To clarify, if when you asked the original question you meant something like a god-tier masterpiece anime, I'm sure something like that never has and never will exist. Even anime like FMA and Steins Gate have their audiences, and their flaws.

Kuraokani said:
True but is it that far off to believe or question that one day there will be?

Light- said:
your title: "When will we get another masterpiece" makes one assume that the following shows you are discussing are ones you consider masterpieces. It would also take an ignorant person to deny that.

Also did you even read what I posted? I can deny the claim that they are near masterpieces too because there are plenty of reasons like I mentioned above for people to rate these shows so highly.

Someday? No. Anime is a medium I believe to have a lot of potential. In the end, it only takes one studio and one story. In the near future? Yeah. Anime is still a fairly new medium compared to many others. Look at books: people have been writing books for thousands of years, but there are only a handful considered to be true masterpieces.

fanservice is a shite term anyways

Fan service (ファンサービス? fan sābisu), fanservice, or service cut (サービスカット? sābisu katto),[1][2] is material in a work of fiction or in a fictional series which is intentionally added to please the audience.[3] The term originated in Japanese,[4][5] in the anime and manga fandom, but has been used in other languages and media. It is about "servicing" the fan[6] – giving the fans "exactly what they want."
which i find funny how most people who hate "fanservice" like other forms of it,

back to your post, (ignoring my score thing cause i copy pasted from elsewhere)
" many are just getting fed up with the harem/fanservice shows that come out every season. "
this implies that many harem/fanservice shows must come out, unless somehow someone can get sick of again 1/2 harem/fanservice shows that come out, in which case that is no one's fault but their own,
i proved that no, those people are idiots, who somehow think that 3-5 harem/fanservice (man this term really shouldnt be use with harem) is not alot.

I feel much the same way. But, I wont lie, I am waiting for Pluto to come and usher in the next phase: Sci-Fi resurgence. Maybe I will get that gay space anime I been wanting.
