So I was showing my friend what used to be old AMV and meme from the ancient times (2005-2009) and realized a lot of anime shown used to be at least popular imagery on boards but if anybody even heard or cares about Angel Dokuro-Chan or School Rumble but I couldn't go anywhere back then without seeing either the OP animations or references.   Anime like Haruhi, Lucky Star, and even Azumanga Daioh have really held up and are still constant favorites. I'd like to see what people remember of joining or at least what's dropped off popularity wise. |
 |
| Bakugan used to be the shit, and was really thriving back when I was growing up with it. No one speaks of it now tho lol. |
 |
| Your Name was the most popular anime and it also made me anime fan , it was the first anime I have seen , I checked it out out of curiosity to know how good it was... |
| Shingeki no Kyojin was pretty popular when I started, but right now, after that sad 3rd season, followed by the train-wreck called Shingeki no Kyojin the Final Season part 1, it kinda died. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
| Inuyasha. It sort of came back (briefly) when the new series was announced but other than that, I haven't really heard or seen people talking about it for quite a long time. |

I feel after the final season gets adapted, it'll essentially "Game of Throne" itself and never be spoken about again.

Funnily enough I saw a popular Tiktok going around about Beyblade of all damn things; I know it's not the same but those kind of series in general shock me now nostalgia they are for many. |
|
| Seitokai yakuindomo, School Rumble, My Bride is a Mermaid are major ones I thought of. |

Phosphophyllita said: I don't know from which planet you have come from , but AOT S4 P1 was most popular and hyped up anime, Every episode was trending on twitter and major of the people in anime community in verious social media was talking about AOT S4Shingeki no Kyojin was pretty popular when I started, but right now, after that sad 3rd season, followed by the train-wreck called Shingeki no Kyojin the Final Season part 1, it kinda died. |

| *takes a deep breath* Haruhi, Maid-Sama, Love Hina, Negima, Lucky Star, Hetalia, Kuroshitsuji, Ouran! (These were at least what was widely talked about between my classmates in middle school, aside from the big names like Naruto and Bleach.) Some of those I think are still considered classics, but I definitely don't hear anybody talking about them lately. Some of them I'm glad nobody talks about them. I think I would have listed Inuyasha and Fruits Basket in there as well, if it wasn't for the recent sequel and remake, respectively. |

Negima was the huge harem series but I didn't know about the anime till years later and I think Funimation was still trying to hype it up for no good reason. People will reference Maid-sama mostly to talk about how hot Takumi Usui is but I'll just blame Nobuhiko out of pocket for that one. Hetalia is also getting a revival; it should have stayed buried but it makes money so I get it. |

| Yu-gi-oh! was the only thing my friends and I talk about back in middle school. But sadly it died. |

Heswee said: Pandora Hearts, Shakugan no Shana, Ueki no Housoku I blame AMV/MMV makers for those first two being as popular as they were. That third one though. It looks like a fake anime. Crow_Black said: Anyone remember Idaten Jump? no well looks like i'm the only one. I have never ever ever heard of this and the top reviews are all 10's and 9's. I'm getting bamboozled. It's the only explanation. Jeff_Caesar said: Card-game anime come to mind. Back then in my schools every kid had a deck of Yugioh or even more unheard of nowadays, Cardfight Vanguard :) I think the card game scene is still rampantly popular for YGO and when I went to see Dark Side of Dimensions the theater was PACKED. I think it's because newer seasons are hit or miss. Had no strong urge to watch Vrains. Maybe if they were even thinly connected in a JJBA kinda way people would be more interested but it's more easter eggs then connected. Not to mention much of the card community isn't a fan of the series because they don't play the game CORRECTLY. *laughs* |

Lol, no it didn't. And I'm not even fanboying. AoT just simply didn't die at all, it's as popular as ever. |

Crow_Black said: Anyone remember Idaten Jump? no well looks like i'm the only one. yes, i remember. Brings back memories maybe blue dragon? Kiteretsu Daihyakka and perman (from doraemon creator). especially kiteretsu was as popular as doraemon luckyman was also pretty popular back then. maybe Anpanman too |

I did watch it and like it but from what I remember the anime didn't get fully adapted. It could probably use a readaptation, the nostalgia is def there and it has a solid ending. |
|
| I remember Maou Gakuin has a big hype then when Goku vs Saitama vs Rimuru vs Anos debate is still popular but I don't see any hype about that show anymore now |

Especially the first couple seasons. I feel like the game and the series are separate though. Kind of how Pokemon is. |
|
| Classic Yu-Gi-Oh still works as a standalone, as the manga predates the game. But by the time GX rolled around, I could no longer separate them. As someone with no prior investment in anything 5Ds has to offer, I can't bring myself to give it a chance. |

The Rie Kugimiya effect was so strong back then. |
|
| Most of the first anime I watched (that weren't movies) were already a few years old at the time, and many were still being talked about. The first seasonal I watched while it was airing was "Blend S". It still comes up now and then but I don't see it being discussed very often. |

I feel like series that only get hyped on OP/ED are doomed to fall into obscurity, drop Eromanga and Domestic Girlfriend into the same bucket. |
|
| i feel like devilman crybaby got a lot of talk when it first came out, but i don't see a lot of people talk about it now, may be due to it's completed storyline. i've noticed anything that isn't a shounen loses fame pretty quickly. |

Crow_Black said: Anyone remember Idaten Jump? no well looks like i'm the only one. I do, and it still is one of my favourites that I watched in my childhood on TV. Sadly, I never got to know the ending because they stopped the broadcast mid way in the last arc(?) in my country. I do plan to rewatch it completely someday. |

 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
Stripes said: They are? Haruhi, I agree, but it sure has been a while since anyone ever mentioned Azumanga or Lucky Star. On that note, K-ON is another show that stood against the test of time.Anime like Haruhi, Lucky Star, and even Azumanga Daioh have really held up and are still constant favorites. Elfen Lied was pretty big here in Germany in the early to mid 00s, like big big big, On any Forum or any convention it would be constantly talked about. In retropesctive, it was kinda trash tho, that we can all agree on, I guess. Same goes for Gantz or these Ecchi battle shows like Ikki tousen. In general I would say the early 00s have had a lot of shows that fell into obscurity or were obscure to begin with. If we look over to Japan, there are also some shows that I would call one time wonders. Infinite Stratos is a show that came to mind. Widely popular back then and kinda led to a resurgence of Harem anime, years later, nobody even remembers best girl Char. Interesting topic though, just shows you how anime trends come and go. |

| I remember Eureka Seven being something commonly liked to some degree when I just starting getting into anime around 2008/2009. Haruhi and Lucky Star are the other two notable ones a lot of others that I am seeing like Inuyasha, Hetalia and Ouran are basically right. Shana was another one that was pretty popular that I also enjoyed that almost no new fan is going to know of. |

CraTerDestroyer said: I would say assassination classroom, it used to be very popular, and don't get me wrong, it still has a very high score and a lot of favorites, but it just isn't discussed anymore The manga was one of the best selling for a small period of time, so weird how I don't see it talked about either. |
|
| Mainly shows like Chrono Crusade, Wolf's Rain, Elfen Lied, D.N. Angel, My-Hime, Scrapped Princess, and the original FMA. Basically stuff from the "Early BitTorrent" era of anime fansubbing. I remember when I first started hosting "Name That Tune" contests at my local anime convention, OP/ED from titles like these and other mid-2000s hits would be "Easy" tier, songs that nearly any contestant would instantly pick up on after a few notes. But by the time I stopped hosting those contests in 2016 (due to ascending to a higher position in convention staff, with more responsibilities), they were decidedly obscure, only identified by the "perennial contender" level contestants. Though as a testament to their enduring appeal, all of the above titles except DN Angel are still in-print / legally streaming in the US. |

Heswee said: Pandora Hearts, Shakugan no Shana, Ueki no Housoku New fan here, I watched Ueki a few months ago and really liked it. It doesn't have any fans these days, to the point where I actually didn't know that it was ever popular to begin with. What happened to its community anyway? Did it just get Thanos snapped? |
  "Truth is always a cruel thing." |
| I started watching anime in 2013/2014, so for me some of the titles that were popular (or considered to be really good) but don't get any attention nowadays would be: Noragami, Terror in Resonance, Barakamon, Blue Exorcist, Magi and Parasyte. That's not to say that I think these shows should get more attention, but some of them definitely deserve their flowers. Not Blue Exorcist though, that show was so underwhelming. |

Well, the anime used to be pretty popular in my country back when I was still in elementary school, don't know about internet back then so I can't speak about it's popularity in other places. As for the community maybe everyone just forgot about it? I dunno since the last time I speak with someone irl who knows about this anime are around 4 years ago. |

The funny thing is, I discovered most of those while they were out of print. Thanks to my time browsing old blogs, I learned of that era before watching the newer titles my friends recommended. |
