Is anime getting worse?

Is anime getting worse?

No, it's getting better.

No.

Sup Forums is definitely getting worse though.

No, you just watched too much of them and upgraded your standard. As a result, you've become picky instead of eating all the shit this industry is throwing at you.

It's just as bad as it was before.

No, it's just you who have gotten too many visits from people doing radiation checks which caused you to stop enjoying life.

No but there's more shit anime in general now but the ratio seems to stay the same

Big name shows are being milked for all they're worth a lot more than in years past. CGI is becoming far too common and it's always jarring when it's overlaid onto traditional animation, finally studios need to stop with the twelve episodes a season bullshit.

Other than that, nah anime a shit.

No just adaptations.

no.
lurk moar

I think the high points of "old" anime are higher and more frequent than the high points of "modern" anime. I'd say anime has definitely gotten worse. That's with out bringing attention to the declining working conditions.

Yes

This.

I would blame the invasion of newfags and them not being banned but there are many factors to look at.

If the best anime of this year are ReZero and Konosuba, then yes. Not saying they are bad shows, but if that's the best the year has to offer, then something went wrong.

Someone's gonna tell you Rakugo / Mob / Flip Flappers but I'm here to tell you they're shit too before they do that. This year was very bad, but you shouldn't let a single year be a representative of an entire era of anime. Besides, this year's batch of movies looks really good.

Mob had a very FLCL feel to it. That said, it often crossed the line into straight imitation at times.

This

I don't understand that sentiment in the slightest

Nice trips. Your post is truth.

The often frenetic pacing and animation style reminded me of FLCL, often to its own detriment.

Its approach to animation was totally different, as was the pace and overall narrative. When was the last time you saw FLCL? Like, watch it again. They're nothing alike.

Oh I'm sorry that my personal opinion and yours aren't exactly alike.

When was the last time you saw FLCL?

Worse for general public

Better for pedophile and 2D fapper

god
checked

Thats a good thing.

I don't think so

why is she sad?

let's face it, it's always been THIS BAD

The home scene when Haruko showed up at Naota's house, the robot battle scene, when Haruko hit Naota with her bass... Those scenes and some of the animation in Mob, like the school battle, were similar to me.

When was the last time you saw FLCL?

No it's just stayed virtually at the same level of utterly middling quality and blatantly just going hard after the Japanese neets all but exclusively for the past few years. Same casts, same producers, same staff, same shitty nonsensical storylines and shitty characters that go virtually nowhere, just a whole blend of mass produced schlock. As some have said in the thread though Sup Forums and the community at large has definitely gotten worse. Nobody seems to give a shit anymore about anything, it's just how can I use this to bait and rile people up over nothing and how can I keep that going as long as possible using the current seasonal anime or ones that are hyped up on social media. That seems to be the extent of the communities interest in anime at large.

adaptation when?

Honestly I probably wouldn't have realize it had the industry not just gone so full bore into this milk the fucking shit out of the neets and a handful of franchises but yeah anime is kind of fucking garbage.

Come here to post this, even if it hurt us, it would be nice if mods become much more drastic with bans, there is no consideration in the board culture, people now actually think that "Sup Forums is just the place you go to shitpost", all the new people that come here think that, and is getting out of the hand.

Last night when I was doing your mom.

Damn

Yes I think so unless you're a normalfag in that case you need to fuck off from this board.

Perhaps if you had been more focused on FLCL and less on my mother you'd know understand how dissimilar it is from Mob.

Yeah. One's about psychic powers, the other is a painful coming of age pseudo-drama. That and your mom is a dead lay.

Yeah this board's only for creepy, poorly adjusted weirdos like us! You tell 'em user, fuck normalfags am I right?

Now you understand.

So fuck off to MAL and /r/anime.

Nah you're just getting older and thus wiser and more cynical. It happens to anyone who engages in this type of hobby for a long time.

It's been astonishingly fucking bad for a few years now going back to at least mid 2014. Literally only an expansion into Greater Asian markets and the sheer spending power of the all coveted otaku demographic as well as the newfound equally coveted fujoshi or rotten girl demographic has allowed it to sustain itself. Were it not for Your Name and some other classic franchises getting some films I'd almost swear Japan itself has started to tune anime out as a thing and thinks of it as a great personal shame, embarrassment and a bad representation for the nation worldwide.

There's a reason the Japanese Olympic Committee consolidated it's mascot licenses and tie-ups with any sort of popular culture early and anything to do with anime is all family friendly multi-national stuff and kept at a limit. They'll almost certainly do all they can to hide the existence of late night anime and it's otaku culture in 2020 too depending on how that industry even looks by that point.

Really it's almost entirely the presence of late night TV anime that is making the whole thing look increasingly like shit. There's more of it this decade than ever before in it's history, it's almost all limited to 12 episode chunks regardless of what is clearly necessary to make the story arcs functional for TV and it's just hard not to notice that the whole apparatus has been stretched to it's absolute current limits.

The only thing really surprising about this whole turn given the obvious current mass production approach of the industry is just how much the Western community that sees a fraction of the benefits tolerates obviously bad television. Like at least Japanese people that buy the R2 for the BD for trash anime adaptation 101 by A-1 or whoever get the benefits that have event tickets to meet the actual people that really made the source for the bad adaptation or art books, CD's and stuff that are also by the source people. R1 viewers don't get shit.

100% agreed. It won't help anime itself but why are people okay with this status quo of just endless shitposting again?

Maybe her butt hurts.

truth

See . Fuck people like and the shithole they've turned the anime community into. Who the fuck in their right mind would ever want to get involved in this stuff in the future the way that's the face of the anime community culture.

This shit again for the 5001th time. What's more tired at this point, anime or it's communities antics. Keep in mind there really is no right or wrong answer

Hahahaha something like that apparently

There's a reason I've come to maintain that anime and it's community seems to exist and operate purely as a matter of spite now. That's what the industry and it's community gets for letting it's standards go completely like this in the interests of strip mining a layer of social rejects "living" in Japan. Like what did people think was going to happen and did they really care?

The wrong answer is people like you normalfags who come to Sup Forums instead of somewhere that will appeal to you more such as /r/anime.

Why do you come to a board where people will talk about fucking loli if it make you mad?

Stay fucking mad normalfags shitters.

I've been enjoying it more lately.

I agree, I was just against the guy's rationale. The industry dying is more a fact than an opinion at this point.

Newfags are only here for the discussion, and I mean the boring kind, they're just here to post their opinions about the lastest anime as if anybody cared, and to call whoever disagrees with them a shitposter. They actually managed to turn Sup Forums into a completely standard anime forum that takes itself seriously.
Basically all the stuff that made Sup Forums good and unique is now labeled shitposting.
Those who bitch about shitposting are literally from reddit, and I'm not talking out of my ass here, I've had the "honor" of talking to some of them in a more personal way and they're always the same kind of people, without exception. Boring plebs, the kind of people who don't see anything wrong with posting on reddit, and who treat Sup Forums as if it was a typical anime discussion forum and who cry for mods at the first opportunity. Can't even have an actual interesting discussion with them because they go all "that's just a shitposter, ignore him" at everything they don't like or alternatively start spamming pictures of fishes and hooks. These people are the majority now and they've made Sup Forums a boring place.

I'm sorry user but you fell for a reddit meme.

Yes.

There is maybe one show worth viewing every season, if we're lucky.

>>>/reddit/

I'm not the guy you are replying to, but I can see where are you coming from. I can agree on the part that this place is boring right now, but I wouldn't just place it on people calling everything shitposting. they are just plain boring. Hell, I'm plain boring and that's why I don't come around here often. But I can see how people like me ruined this place for you.

This all being said, I just saw not a minute ago some guy on Sup Forums saying that "since Sup Forums took Sup Forums over that they can't have meaningless fun anymore".

This is all very confusing to me, but I get the feeling things shouldn't be like this.

You're confused because you're painfully new as well as excessively autistic.

yes very much so.
its long dead and now its rotting.

Where is this image from? i´ve been trying to get source for hours but i got nothing

> they can't have meaningless fun anymore
I wonder what happened to just having meaningless fun. Modern Sup Forums seems to go apeshit mad at the very idea that we're all just here to enjoy ourselves. The board as a whole is purposely rejecting everything they used to love, like a 18 year old that rejects all the stuff he loved as a teenager and forces himself to act "grown up". Hopefully this means that in a few years Sup Forums will be like "fuck it" and come to love fun stuff again.

...

Explain what you mean by fun.

Is posting pepe fun? Is blogging about your real life gf fun? Is pretending to be retarded fun? Is using crossboarder meme like ''cuck'' and ''t.'' fun?

Anime today is going two ways. 1. It's copying other shows who did what they want to do better 20 years ago and 2. it's making original ideas but it's executing it like shit. There are very few anime coming out that actually know how to execute storylines, character developments and direction. The problem also is that IF an anime does all that correctly, no one watches it so there's no point in actually trying.

Who cares what a disgusting normalfag tripfag have to say?

>tripfag in the trash
pottery

Is there a uncut rip of Shin Godzilla out yet?

I think you are mixing two different things right here, nobody said anything against shitposting, but if you really think that Sup Forums is perfectly fine as how it is right now, then you are simply wrong, the shitposting this days isn't the same of back then, there is no creativity, there is no effort, is just the same stupid thing over and over and over again, and everytime anyone try to make something new is looked down upon and take responses like let's say, ">reddit", to not extend me more.

Whoa man, calm down, no one is trying to extend you more. There's no need to do anything rash.

The fat old man marries X threads were fun for a day at which point crossboarding cancer took over, just like everything else

I'm not sure, I still maintain that it's been always kind of shit, but at least it was my kind of shit, nowadays I feel disconnected from most of the new things, all the social activism, politics, memes, terms/buzzwords, humor, references, sites, programs, videos. I don't really seem like being into any of it, maybe I'm just getting old for this, but it's still pretty much the only thing I got and seeing it slip through my fingers is like seeing myself becoming dead from remote 3rd person perspective, but I might be only one of few having these sentiments as a showcase of how much of a failed person I am. I just want to go to the time I could enjoy simple things instead of seeing how awful they actually are.

Sorry for blog.

Everything is getting worse.

You aren't the only person who feel like this.

Its a normal thing to feel when you are getting older.

Yes.

mind posting exhentai link?

Yes.
