Remember a time before this isekai explosion when the cliche was the fantasy/Apocolypse/harem (that doesn't go anywhere) where for example, I started rewatching Black Bullet recently after listening to DJ-JO's remix of the opening and its very nostalgic of the time of badass main characters surrounded by obscene heroines oftentimes fighting to save humanity against giant monsters. These anime at the time weren't the best and oftentimes considered "bad anime" but looking back on it they were so much better than the current META of isekai'd with your smartphone to be overpowered.
I just wanted to share my piece of nostalgia I've been feeling after rewatching what is considered a bad anime yet has a place in my watch list with a higher rank than it deserves

Kind of reminds me of how I feel about Inuyasha and Naruto. Loved them as a kid, hated them when I got older, took back everything I said about them once shitty bottom of the barrel pandering light novels started getting overwhelming.

Yea, to be honest i actually really liked isekai specially Re:Zero and Konosuba, but honestly now every season has a new one and they are just getting worst, old anime at least feels nostalgic and gives a different vibe then the same shit we get literaly every season its just isekai overpowwered with ecchi just makes me so tired and that's why i watch like 2-3 animes at max every new season nowadays and prefer watching old animes even if they are low rated by some people

I don't see how this makes for a discussion, but yeah, pretty much.

Have you tried Kemono Michi? Same creator as Konosuba...

One day people will be nostalgic for isekai series just as strongly. Imagine that.

that'll only be because they wouldn't comprehend how overly saturated the 2010's market was with isekai shit

I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby".
"She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other."

heh, I remember the original good ones too. Funny cuz when I started watching anime, stuff like Elfen Lied and Mirai Nikki were the shit. Like, everyone I knew who watched anime urged me to watch 'em telling me how great they were but now, most people I talk with about anime agree both of them suck. Pretty sure Elfen Lied used to have a pretty high mean score in the past.

First anime I thought was god awful but still finished because reasons was Soul Link. Course I didn't realize how bad I thought it was until I watched more and more anime. It's also one of the few anime older anime I've seen that I'd consider extremely boring and would even drop if I watched it now.

Oh!

So if the OP is to be believed the anime industry started around 2014...an interesting trivia fact.

I was afraid this was some ridiculous thread about some recent show from te 2010s. I did not get disappointed. No idea what is supposed to be nostalgic about auch a recent anime or how it would be considered the 'original' of anything, but good for you. I never found Black Bullet horrible to begin with so I can't really relate. It was just a mediocre/decent show, far from as trashy as real trash. If you have to pick an 'old', bad anime from this current decade it'd have to be something like Pupa or Coppelion.

And if you want a more well-rounded opinion on the 'original' trash anime, I'd suggest some titles like:

https://myanimelist.net/anime/1345/Soujuu_Senshi_Psychic_Wars
https://myanimelist.net/anime/11357/Micro_Teukgongdae_Diatron_5
https://myanimelist.net/anime/1657/Byston_Well_Monogatari__Garzey_no_Tsubasa
https://myanimelist.net/anime/413/Hametsu_no_Mars
I probably regret this post by now.

Yeah everytime when something says things like "this is a masterpiece" this is "trash" I wonder if they know how far up and down the scale goes in terms of quality anime.
