As much as I'd liked to claim credit for the term, I was primarily inspired by this video: https://youtu.be/61Kh28P2Pgk Absolutely extraordinary video. So you meant the modern interpretation of the Classical Greek Tragedy as per Aristotle's definition. I think this video knocked around some things in my perception of a story. Thank you very much for sharing this piece with me. |

| Nothing. Most of what came out this decade is too new to be considered eligible. Maybe the first 1-3 years can pass, but since time tells what's becomes a classic, the rest needs to wait. |

| Attack on titan or My Hero Academia. |
| I keep moving forward |

| How about we wait until the decade is actually over before reminiscing? |
| If we're going with the assumption that a classic is a. something that never loses its relevance b. critically praised and popular(or at least reasonably well known) and c. something that has impact in the industry then the only shows that nearly checks off the things that makes a classic a classic then Steins; Gate and FMAB so far are the nearest candidates to be a modern classic this decade. Although, I can't gauge their impact on the industry just yet so for now you can call it potential classics. I guess you can insert Hunter x Hunter into this conversation but the story hasn't really concluded unlike the other 2 I mentioned so can you really call an unfinished story something definite as a classic? |

| So I went ahead and recorded how many times each anime was mentioned in this thread. Thought it would be fun but it took forever. It's full of mistakes. Some names are shortened. Some are in romaji and some are english names. There might be some duplicates due to not knowing anime by different names. Also fuck you @Kruszer for writing a giant list of 90% one-time mentions. But first my picks... While there are lots of anime that I consider to be personal classics, I think the point of this thread was to guess what will be remembered as classics for many years. However, many people just mentioned stuff they like so I've done that a bit in my list. I don't consider mainstream popularity one bit. A classic should the most celebrated shows among the true fans. Not some casuals. Fucking every normie I talk to about anime irl mentions the same shows... Anyway, my list: Monogatari Series (Classic of the medium. Defines anime in many ways. If you didn't put this you're out of touch, sorry.) S;G (Even though the second season might have put a dent in it's reputation, S;G season 1 does everything so well while still remaining 100% anime with many references and reverence towards otaku culture) Fate (play the VN if you want the best storytelling experience of your life. I know we talking about anime but the influence of Fate (which started as a VN) on anime and Otaku culture at large is second to none outside of Idol shows and Battle Shounen.) Madoka Magika K-On! Konosuba Kaguya-sama (IF it gets more seasons it will be enormous. Already my favourite romcom by a mile) Ok so after adding my picks, here is the list: |
| “In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” -Friedrich Nietzsche Aggregate scoring is bad for the anime fandom |
Gorochu said: Kimi no Na Wa Assuming the current ongoing get complete adaptations. It feel wrong to call something classic if they don't get complete adaptations. Attack on Titan SAO OPM BnHA Steins Gate Madoka Love Live Mostly base on the huge positive receptions they got. Dat list. Nobody's ever gonna call 2010s the "Golden Age" of anime with these >.> OT: I hope KlK makes the cut. Gotta see how trigger and Imaishi do in the future for that! |

| An interesting question to ask around 2040. |

There's no way these anime will be forgotten. inb4 they all end up wasted to the sands of time and rarely brought up, and people look back on The Asterisk War as being ahead of its time |

I don't want to live in a world like that. It's definitely within the realm of possibility. My response was only a half-shitpost ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

| Steins;Gate Madoka Magica Fate/Zero Anohana One Punch Man Hunter x Hunter Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Psycho-Pass Kill la Kill No Game No Life Konosuba Re:Zero Made in Abyss Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Hero Academia This isn't necessarily a list of my favorite shows from the 2010s, but rather a list of shows that continue to pop up in conversations and be decently well known. And even then, this is a pretty broad list, I could make really good cases that shows like Assassination Classroom, Mob Psycho 100, New Game, Sound Euphonium, Death Parade, Tiger and Bunny, Yuri on Ice, and more deserve to be on that list. Now as the shows on the list get more recent, it definitely becomes more speculative, Basically everything after Kill la Kill I'd argue is still in a stage of "let's see if it actually does endure", but I still feel pretty secure that in a few years, a lot of these shows will still be decently known, or at least recognized. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| Made in Abyss Shinsekai Yori Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho I hope they will become classics in the future (or cult classic). |

| i heard Digibro is planning to make a list of the anime of the decade lol i hope someone post that or if no one else would make a thread then maybe i will |
HopefulNihilist said: I think what classic anime share in common, is that they are almost unlike anything else: Durarara!!: absolute chaos and fun, with very interesting storylines and characters. Unlike any anime, aside from Baccano. Konosuba: unlike any comedy anime that I've seen: subverts isekai tropes, mean to hilarious effect, with some of the most (ironically) likeable characters and best chemistry I've seen between characters. Date a Live: a classic among ecchi/harems. Good characters, and a really fun and interesting storyline. Highschool DxD: an ecchi series that does not hold back. A rarity among its genre. Devil is a Part Timer: a geniuenly hilarious comedy with more unexpectedly down-to-Earth humour, and original plot. Kill la Kill: pure insanity, with great characters, and a story that gets bigger and bigger. In This Corner of the World: 1st half is an isekai set in WWII, and the 2nd half is pure drama. Not something you watch everyday. Fate/Zero: unlike Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Zero truly focuses on its battle royale setting Cupid's Chocolate: maybe not a classic series overall, but definitely a classic among harems. Really likeable characters with a decent amount of depth. I would put Jojo, but it had adaptations before 2010. Wtf a classic is a serie who print his genre and we will speak for long. I like Hataraku maou sama but it's not a classic. Even F/Z and Durarara I'm not sure so the others... KLK is shadowed by TTGL but as F/Z it's not a bad idea. It's not only a popularity rank. It's both high rated title with a fervent community. Mushishi or Kino were classics but they touch a little part of anime community. Yuyu Akusho or FMA were classic for others reasons. It's more something as Shinsekai Yori, Tatami Galaxy, Psycho Pass, Steins;Gate, Madoka, SnK etc.. Dunno but maybe Kiseijuu, Haikyu, Shigatsu etc.. |

Too bad, my idea of a classic anime is an anime that I believe is freaking amazing, unique, and will remain in my memory. A classic isn't something more like a common "legend" of his genre ? The autor of the topic says "In your opinion, what anime from this decade would you believe to be classics?', it's our opinion but I read it as "a classic anime" not "our classic". As Evangelion, Dragon Ball or Cowboy Bebop are biggest classics in animation even if I don't like the second one. ^^ |

Consider that other posters here name the same anime list as mine, I think they are willing to call it Golden Age of 2010s with these list. -EDIT- Oh yeah,I forget about Kill la Kill. |

| Why are some people mentioning HxH 2011??? Hunter x Hunter is already a classic, it's a property born in the 90s whose success and popularity already gave it that distinction, the 2011 is just a remake and continuation. |

Hunter x Hunter is atrociously bad. Even if you consider it as a masterpiece, it won't be remembered as a classic since it did not do much in terms of originality when it came to battle shonen series. |
Optigisa said: Hunter x Hunter is atrociously bad.

Well, that't debatable, and it really depends of what one understand as a classic. Personally I don't think originality plays a major role, it has to do more with popularity, reception and reputation. Anyway, I don't consider it a masterpiece, though. I only think it's good until the end of the York City arc. I'm not exactly a fan of everything that came afterwards. |

For me, a classic is something that influences other works, is original and will be remembered for years to come. I do not count popularity into the discussion. |

I'm not so sure about slow, despite the slow motion thing with the narrator in the ants arc, but I do agree with pointless. HxH's biggest mistake was losing its focus, forgetting about its goal and shifting the attention towards an story that had nothing to do with anything that it had been doing since the beginning (CAA). In fact, I'm precisely publishing a review of it tomorrow that I've been writing this week, explaining this issue in greater detail, in case you're interested :P (though it will be long-ass). |
| 10 years is the standard for a classic now? Wow. Anyway, the stand out ones from this decade are, undoubtedly, the obvious duo of HeroAca and Shingeki. OPM can make a case for itself and Steins;Gate will no doubt be regarded a classic in the future as well. I'd argue Urobuchi's stuff like Fate/Zero and the first Psycho-Pass will also be considered classics in the future. Then we got cult followings like Shinsekai Yori, Shirobako and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. And last, but certainly not least - and no matter how much you lot will hate it-, Sword Art Online. Like it or not, it shaped this decade. |

Yeah, I agree. Togashi's biggest mistake was leaving Kurapika in the dust and focusing on a boring RPG game that led to nowhere, only to focus on an arc that also led to nowhere. So far Hunter x Hunter feels like a long journey rather than an Anime with a goal in mind. Unlike FMAB to honest. I would not mind reading your review to be honest, sure. |
| @Arkab what was its focus and goal, why does CAA have nothing to do with the previous arcs? how exactly did the focus and goal change so much to say it hurt the story? |
| poop |
Optigisa said: Gon and Killua have been the primary main characters since the hunter exam (first arc) so I disagree that he's been left in the dust since he had his arc and was never meant to always be in front. RPG arc led to CAA so to say it led to nothing makes no sense. The CAA was detrimental to the politics of the hunter association and led to Gon meeting his dad and Killua escaping from his family. All the arcs succeeded in fleshing out the characters more too. I would say for HxH the journey is ultimately the goal. It's not like FMAB where it's just an epic story where two groups oppose each other till the end.Arkab said: I'm not so sure about slow, despite the slow motion thing with the narrator in the ants arc, but I do agree with pointless.

| I agree that Made in Abyss can become a classic, but it will depend on the film. The movie will probably be very good, but the problem is whether hype will be present in a world where the community focuses a lot on seasonal anime. Also another important point, the film must be commercial success to hope for another season after that. I think it will really need a complete adaptation (or that the series is coming soon towards the end) to be seen as a classic. If one day Kinema Citrus adapts the current arc of the manga, then Made in Abyss will probably be considered a modern classic. |
| My criteria was based on what I've seen The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl - because I disqualified the Tatami Galaxy for coming out in 2010 SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist - the message behind this series is timeless Goblin Slayer - too much controversy around it not to be remembered Berserk - you all know why Psycho-Pass Space☆Dandy WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Unpopular! Monogatari Prison School SAO & AoT |
I began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy . . . censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, “This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,” the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. |
| By classic I am assuming you mean an anime that has a really good following, can appeal to a large demographic (from anime veterans to non-anime watchers), and has a memorable story line that every true anime fan should be familiar with. Here's my list in no particular order: 1) Shingeki no Kyojin 2) One Punch Man 3) Boku no Hero Academia 4) Tokyo Ghoul For other shows some people mentioned, I personally feel they don't really have the impact necessary to be deemed a classic. For example, I saw Sword Art Online a couple of times but that show really fell flat on its potential. It's sad because so many people loved the first season but by the time the second season came out I noticed people couldn't mention SAO without mentioning some form of hate or disappointment they harbored for the series. Quite sad really. Also, I didn't mention series that already had an earlier anime adaption. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is definitely a classic but the first series came out in the 00's so I think its fair to call the entire franchise a classic and not just Brotherhood on its own. Same goes for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Hunter x Hunter, etc. |
keragamming said: Well, the manga is and the devil cry baby anime isn't even close to mainstream. Devilman crybaby not mainstream? Most anitubers made videos praising it. Even famous youtuber Pewdiepie, who isn't an anituber, made a video about it. It also has more members on MAL than actual classics like GitS: Stand Alone Complex and Hajime no Ippo. |
 |
| Now that I think about it, Your Lie in April and Ano Hana deserves to be there too. |
| 1. Made in Abyss 2. Shinsekai Yori 3. Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho 4. Shirobako 5. Hibike! Euphonium 6. Yagate Kimi ni Naru (classic for the yuri community). It’s going to be hard, but I’d be happy to see them become classics (or cult) in their respective communities. |
