More than half or those are shit or nothing special. If you want a real good year you have to go back to 2010 or 2008.
Henry Thompson
>2010 ? There was angel beats, which I can't say I thought was really good, simply enjoyed it for the characters. The obvious P&S and then possibly Imouto. Maybe katanagatari and durarara if you want to push it. Hardly an excellent year.

I agree fall 2012 was the best season in a long time and nothing cane close to it recently.Zetsune no trmpest,my little monster,jojo heck every show in that season was good.I was waiting for years to see tempest animated and Bones did great
Henry Watson
>The obvious P&S and then possibly Imouto Of all the good shows from 2010 and you name this trash. Lurk more.
Xavier Garcia
f/s night higurashi black lagoon haruhi (you can be a contrarian memelord about this one all day lomg) n.h.k. code geass
Honestly it was a good year because of what it started with code geass alone. It could have been the only show to air in 06 and it woul still have been one of the best years.
Adrian Ward
Ika Musume? Sora no Woto?
sorry didn't follow anime that closely in 2010, only watched a few. Not them btw.
Brody Perry
>good shows of 2010 but user there aren't any, 2010 was a lost year.
Adrian Cox
Agreed. 2008 was godly.
Jacob Garcia
Tempest showed what good music can do for an anime.
Levi White
>he puts 2008 in the same sentence as 2010 Why? 08 was good, '10 might as well not have been airing anything new, waste of production time.
Aiden Bailey
I will not spoonfeed you.
Carson Baker
I am not asking you to, I was there in 2010, I watched the shows, most was trash, nothing was good and only some shows watchable enough to pass the time with. One of the worst years of the last decade. The only reasons I can imagine for liking 2010 are if you either really like echi shows or are a massive raildex fan.
Isaac Moore
>2012 was good
It had fun, but nah.
Angel Anderson
Sora no Woto.
That's about it.
Jackson Rogers
2010 wasn't that great. Was no '07.
Levi Brooks
How is 2010 compared to 2015? Which year was better?
Zachary Long
ZnT was complete shit, the only good characters were the cake and japanese peter parker.
Henry Wood
The issue with 2015, we are too close to it to see it without being bias. Granted we are all bias as most of the Sup Forumsnons is from the 06 era as not many exist from 05 and before. I hope most of the Sup Forumsnons are from 06. I don't to be an dying breed.
Brandon King
2010: surprisingly strong for it's low output 2011: more great titles than the average year 2012: less great titles than 2011, but more anime (and more good anime) overall 2013: surprisingly poor for it's large output of titles 2014: many great new shows, and many absolutely cancerous new shows 2015: not a particularly stand-out year 2016: not a particularly stand-out year
Anime burned out in 2014. It needs saving again.
Austin Edwards
>cake There was no loli in ZnT. Unless you count side characters.
Andrew Brown
Trying too hard user.
Nicholas Reed
2013 was the best year of the decade in my opinion. 2014 has the most "masterpieces" of any year this decade. 2015 has Eupho which I liked more than anything in 2012 2016 is shaping up nicely with some heavy hitters on the horizon.

Leo Brooks
Anime fans have been shitting on moe since the mid 90s. Nothing ever changes, does it? It's almost comforting, in a way.
Nolan James
If you're trying to prove me wrong, you probably don't realise that anime was pretty much dead in 1994.
And got saved the next year.
Asher Mitchell
What would you pick then, tough guy?
Nicholas Adams
>06
Assumed most came at the '07-'08.
Hunter Martin
Very few of the dark masterpieces came out in the early 90s. They had a point here, the early 90s were mostly kawaii stuff. But then Evangelion saved anime. This doesn't contradict what he said at all, he realized we are in the same situation as we were in the early 90s, and recognized that Evangelion saved anime, and think that, when we are in this same situation once again, the solution might be the same too, an anime to save anime.
Michael Sanchez
Summer 2011 was my favorite season (don't know about what year is best, that's kind of hard imo)
Yuru Yuri Idolm@ster Nichijou Baka and Test S2 Carnival Phantasm Steins;Gate
And those are just the ones I watched. I know Kaiji (season 2 aired that season), Usagi Drop and Ro-Kyu-Bu! still get discussed around here. Wish I was on Sup Forums for that season
Leo Moore
2007 and 2008 were fantastic years for anime. Waiting for a year to top those.

2008 was the last really good year we had.

Another was a terrible show but watching it with Sup Forums made it a lot of fun.
Oliver Smith
Completely in his own world, amazing.
Jordan White

Ayden Carter
Generic battle harem. (though only watched the first season)
It may be good for what it is, but it isn't anything special. The currently current season always has something equal that you can watch instead, for the watching with Sup Forums.
Blake Lee
>Generic battle harem >I never watched the show
Hunter Stewart
> It was fun to watch people shit on it so it was a good show
Are you retarded? The reason why people could talk shit about it was because the show was terrible, just like Mayoiga.
Owen Torres
>Zetsuen no Tempest >bad It had its flaws, but calling it bad is just bad bait. GOAT music Great character design Great VA Plot engaging enough to hold ones interest if you go along with some of its sillier aspects.
Honestly the whole uroboros, tree of life, genesis, exodus etc. got sort of silly, choose one and stick to it.
The uroboros "the start is the end and the end is the start" aspect of aika+haze was done pretty well, but they gloss over it in favour of some shitty tree of exodus vs genesis bs that makes very little sense.
Still, any anime that uses Beethoven's Tempest can't be considered all bad.
Isaac Ross

>I didn't watch the anime so I am talking out of my ass; the post. Don't bother denying it, it is painfully obvious.
Lucas Evans
It wouldn't matter because the character designs don't actually require you to watch the show. The music as well since it's not original.
The plot wasn't engaging enough to watch it past three episodes.
Justin Smith

Wyatt Bennett
The music actually is an original orchestration, but hey, anything for a (you) right?
Evan Mitchell
>any anime that uses public domain shit can't be bad It is all original user-kun, either original composition or original orchestration depending on what piece it is you are talking about.
Andrew Anderson
I'd call it a mediocre show.
It has plenty of other flaws like the pacing, the cartoonish villains of the first arc, that blonde guy who's sole porpouse is to say "Yes, those are her bones", characters gaining and losing traits whenever the plot needs them. Hakaze pretty much got re-written entirely halfway through the show and of course the awful quotes.
Not to mention the show keeps going on about how "It's a tragedy where nobody dies" while we had one dead from the start and 1 billion people die because of the actions of the main cast.
It's just like Kiznaiver ( not a surprise that Okada worked on ZnT ) Take a simple idea ( the love triangle in this case ) then jam a bunch of inconsecuential shit on it to stretch it, then resolve it all in two episodes and come to the obvious conclucion.
Benjamin Rogers
The way the industry manages itself now and has doubled down on building shows around event tickets and selling Blu Rays in what is clearly a declining market with each passing year I severely doubt it. Industry has gone full playing it safe mode and regressed towards pandering only to whales in Japan. People might have noticed by the general tone of the fanbase nowadays but it's just not a very fun or interesting medium anymore.
Daniel Jenkins
Still though, the music.
Parker Gonzalez
Production wise is amazing, there's no denying that,it looks and sounds great, that's why I'd say it's mediocre since it helps with how terrible the writting is, which is kind of ironic since it sure likes to prettend it's like Shakespeare.
Kind of like Bungou Stray Dogs has all that bullshit about writters and the writting in the show is crap.
Brandon Thompson
>GOAT music It was the biggest garbage I've heard, that opening was beyond trash.
Jacob Robinson
People have had this attitude since before Sup Forums existed and since before you were likely even born. Basically since anime has exited people have been winging about it.
Japan isn't interested in what our niche board likes, ask a moon what anime he likes or used to watch and 9 out of 10 will answer with doraemon, shinchan&co. Then ask your average otaku what show he likes and 9 out of 10 will answer with "moeshitshow X". Only when you ask someone from the west will you get answers like Death Note, GitS, Akira etc.. Those sort of anime have a very tiny niche in Japan, Eva was really the first anime of that "kind" that got a wide audience in Japan, watched as a dinnertime show for the entire family.
Basically your argument always boils down to "japan doesn't like what I like".
Xavier Morgan
>DxD >Pirates >Another >Kanojo X >Soft
I take it you started watching anime in 2012 and consider it the golden age?
Cameron Roberts
Why is it that when moons decide to use mythology or religious themes they have to throw 2 dozen unrelated ones together to create one massive mess of a story that makes no sense one way or another. The tree of life/genesis would have been fine, just keep it at that and base the story around it, but no, before we reach the end we have even touched upon alien weaponry.
Why do they have to hamfist all these different ideas together until you can't tell where one ends and the next one starts? It's like the Ouroboros of ideas, themes and motives.
Why Japanese people? Why? Why can't you just pick ONE and make it work.
Jack Evans
>Calling Beethoven orchestrations trash Unless you are flyfishing the idea of bait is for it to be subtle.
Tyler Perry
Half the stuff you listed there is absolute trash. 2013 was a better year, 2014 was roughly the same, 2016 is shaping up to be the best year since 2009.
Parker Gomez
>hyouka >good
Brody Cox
>I don't enjoy watching shows together with Sup Forums, the post All the shows you mentioned were great because of the ridiculous shit they spawned on Sup Forums. Remind us all why you are here again?
Dylan Brown
They probably think that since it worked for the Fate series it'll always work.
I'm not going to argue because it's been years since I saw it and I don't remember enough to actually make points, but I will point out that blaming Okada for the overall plot is really fucking silly, since it's a manga adaptation.
Luis Torres
The alien weaponry shit was just characters speculating, wasn't it? I'm also pretty sure that was supposed to be a reference to Vampire Juujikai by the same mangaka.
Levi Turner
Which is why I said worked, not wrote
Angel Martinez
Not to mention she's just the series compositor. People just don't know what staff roles are. They blamed Okada for the dead grandma in Koufuku Graffiti.
Kayden Young
It was in-universe speculation, the show itself never tells you what the trees really are or even hints about them. I think that black haired girl says something like "Maybe they are aliens, nobody knows"
Evan Wright
Please kill yourself normalfag
Luke Hall
I actually don't know what a series compositor does specifically, and I've asked before about Okada but no one's answered. Please help.
Yeah, but you're blaming her for major aspects of the manga (assuming that "inconsequential shit" is mostly about the supernatural elements and macro-scale plot). Unless you wanted her to go full anime original, she's really not at fault for it.
Jace Hill
Series Composer=intermediary for the production committee that also answers directly too them and translates their requests into scripts as best they can. Very few of them have any sort of special writing talent or knack for anything in particular, they just serve as pluggers because the industry trusts them not to rock the boat and they usually have some sort of name recognition to go by as well. It's been a long time since a person charged with writing scripts has had a majority say over them though.
David Miller
This doesn't sound right, source besides your ass?
Nolan Foster
Okada as a writter likes drama and people crying. Her shows tend to include fake deaths and life threatening situations that end in nothing. Obligatory crying episode. Endings tend to be shit.
A series compositor works with the director and storyboarder (sometimes the director does all three). It's the one in charge of giving screentime.
Christian Fisher
I'm saying she copied the same "formula" of the show and then used it again in her works like Kiznaiver and WIXOSS
Zachary Nguyen
>Okada as a writter likes drama and people crying. Her shows tend to include fake deaths and life threatening situations that end in nothing. Obligatory crying episode. Endings tend to be shit. That still doesn't magically make her to blame for shit that's in the manga.
Wyatt Cook
Oh, that makes more sense, although it seems a bit iffy, because love triangles with other stuff on top isn't exactly a novel or even very specific series concept.
Brandon Rodriguez
Read the second paragraph. She isn't the writter of that

2012 was probably the worst year in the last 10 years.
Jack Lewis
Obviously, the day time shit that's been running for years like Detective Conan, Sazae-San, Precure, Doraemon etc is the stuff every day Japanese people actually know and that fact seems to freak Sup Forums out because they have this wannabe elitist board culture that tries to reject anything it sees as too "normal". Of course this what this really leads to is people looking like fucking idiots, shitposting and having no idea what they are fucking talking about. There's just no way around it being what it is.
Anyway no my argument doesn't boil down to that, it boils down to the opinion that the late night anime industry that fills the bulk of what most online Western fans watch now is fucking recycled garbage that only lasts 12 episodes typically and is summarily forgotten about in the next seasons turnover but they continue to consume it all nonetheless and reject the more accessible day time stuff that is actually built to last because HURR DURR Normalfags bad. It's only when you can take a step back from all the bullshit and shitposting in what now passes for the Western anime fanbase online that you can see how things really are and what's going on but good luck ever convincing anybody of it because of the stubborn contrarian undercurrent that runs through the community.
Again it just is what it is and no doubt my pointing this out absolutely outrages people but then just about anything makes this community lose it's shit so I'll keep saying it, it is what it is.
