Have any really memorable anime come out in the last 5 years? I mean something iconic, something that left a big splash like Code Geass, Haruhi, Gurren Lagann or even something like Steins;Gate. I know there were stuff like the JoJo adaptations and Ping Pong but JJBA has been around for decades and Ping Pong wasn't even that popular anyway.

I'm out of the loop now but I've noticed a lot of regular viewers hold this opinion too. Do you think people who used to be teens in the 2000s are just growing up and their tastes have become more exclusive, or is the current anime industry actually stagnant and bland? Or am I just full of shit and have a lot of good series come out?

Sword Art Online came out. I think 4 years ago or something.

Industry's in a slump, One Punch Man was pretty popular though. I guess Attack on Titan too but that show is honestly trash.

>Or am I just full of shit and have a lot of good series come out?

Pretty much. I love 2010s anime. There might not be as many blockbusters as during the mid 2000s, but there's a good 6-8 anime I watch and enjoy every season.

SnK?

Closest I can think of off the top of my head is Fate/Zero and Madoka

One Punch Man wasn't even in the top 10 most popular series of its year, yet alone of post 2010 anime.

Honestly? Its too soon to tell. Its hard to see some of this stuff without hindsight.

Osumatsu-San

As far as popularity go, It's 23rd on MAL for popularity with 550k who watched it. I think it's pretty popular.
inb4 >mal

Iconic in an actually good and coherent kind of way or iconic in a Nurutu kind of way? Because AoT and SAO were undoubtedly popular.

As for good series OPM is my guilty pleasure, but everything about that show's existence is unusual. The webcomic was an exercise in creativity written by a bored man that for some unknown reason got TWO adaptations by huge talents, it doesn't count.

Both 2011 user. It's been 5 years since then

Re:Zero

ehh, I was close I guess.

I'm obviously talking about Japan.

It'll be 6 years for Madoka in January.
Technically still counts.

This and Love Live are the correct answers. You just don't see it because theyre not shows you watch.

Hahaha, no.

It's decent, but not memorable enough to be considered a classic

I honestly think 2011 was the final stretch for most established anime studios. They've been around for decades you know, they've churned out tons of shit and they're probably out of creative juices. If you ask me we're in that stage where the old guard is grey and burned out and we need new fresh talent to revive the industry.

>OPM is my guilty pleasure
why would this be a guilty pleasure? OPM is damn good.

There was sao

Yuri on Ice
Love Live
Osomatsu

Clearly mayoiga

Are we talking about popular in japan?
OPM was/is plenty popular in the west.

Faggot

''oldfag'' need to fuck off and move on already.

Just cause any anime that popular tends to have a really young and annoying fanbase. It's a stupid reason, I do like it a lot.

Why would we talk about popularity in the west? The west doesn't matter.

>Yuri on Ice
Only if it ends with Victor fucking Yuri in the ass

Opm, reddit zero, sao. You might hate them but you arent even 2% of the market. So yeah.

Unfortunately you're wrong, just because you dont like it doesnt mean shit.

OPM and ReZero are not mega hits (though they are popular) in Japan, only in the west. And the west doesn't matter. Ill give you sao though osomatsu and love live are bigger.

West would matter if jap animation companies had employees that spoke english and dared to try monetize their shows in the west. Now all they do is ask CR to give them some tiny licensing fee and not think about it.

I guarantee you more people globally have watched opm over love live, merchandise doesnt have anything to do with anime, even more so with idol stuff.

>Love Live
>Osomatsu
>SnK
>Fate
>GnP
>sao
>UtaPri
YoI will likely fall somewere near sao and UtaPri.

I like it. I just don't at all consider it a master piece or in any way really influence or really that notable.

It's just another Isekai, done right I admit, but still pretty generic.

I dont think you comprhend how huge Love Live is. Its one of the biggest anime of all time. OPM isnt in its league.

5 years just barely includes Madoka, so there's that at least.
Other than that, you have OPM which is pretty big. GuP was a game changer in its genre, but it doesn't have quite the widespread appeal as the other stuff you mentioned. SnK probably counts too, shit though it may be.

If we're talking about movies too and not just TV series, then Kimi no Na Wa probably makes the cut as well. Shit is a fucking phenomenon.

But no, 2011-2016 doesn't compare to 2006-2011 in terms of big hit anime.

Iconic and masterpiece are two entirely different titles, as anime continues to are more and more kids are going to see it, before love live even.
1 closeted island

Major titles to come out in 2011 or later:

Attack on Titan
SAO
Steins;Gate
Mirai Nikki
Tokyo Ghoul
NGNL
Blue Exorcist
OPM
Another
Noragami
Psycho-Pass
KLK
Akame ga Kill!
AnoHana
Madoka Magica
Guilty Crown
Fate/Zero
Deadman Wonderland

Of course, 8 of those actually came out in 2011.

>5 years just barely includes Madoka
Disregard this, for some reason I had it stuck in my head that Madoka aired in December 2011, but obviously that's wrong.
Rest of the post stands though.

Only like 4 of those barely qualify.

>most of those
>major

Are you joking?

If we're going by the OP's criteria of something with an impact near S;G or higher, then I'd say only these qualify:

SnK
SaO
S;G
OPM
Madoka
maaaaaaybe F/Z

Disregarding S;G itself and Madoka that aired before it, since OP obviously meant "since December 2011" and not "in the last 6 calendar years", you have SnK, SaO, OPM, and maybe F/Z (very arguable).

How the fuck does OPM qualify? It's wasn't a huge hit in Japan and hasn't influenced the industry at all?

Well, it's not very iconic. It's just another Isekai, with added edge.

I mean I like it, but it's not going to be remembered by that many in a year or two.

SnK, SAO, Madoka and Fate/Zero are the only major titles on that list.

High School DxD, highly recommend it.

OP didn't say it needed to influence the industry. I don't think many of the examples given in the OP itself do, either.
And like has already been said in this thread, from a global standpoint OPM is a pretty big hit.

OP specifically said "or even something like Steins;Gate", so not including S;G from that list is kind of funny.

OP (and most people in this thread) doesn't know what a "big hit" is because they think that popularity in the west means something.

S;G was bigger than OPM at least. (Both are dwarfed by Free!) None are in the league of Madoka or SnK.

I'd say Free! was bigger and had a bigger impact on the industry than OPM.

Japan

As it ages given its obvious likability for new and or young anime viewers it will further cement itself into that place. This unfortunately is fact.

Not in this industry. You're new, but you'll learn soon enough.

uno warui

SAO for sure.

I mean many anons still rage about it like it aired yesterday.

Im older than you bud

If we're not talking about impact on the industry, then how does it not mean anything? Popularity is popularity no matter where it is.

That I agree with.

Agree, although I'll restate that I don't think the original question concerned impact on the industry as much as general popularity. CG wasn't a huge impact on the industry either, and asides from some references here and there I don't think Gurren Lagann was either. S;G certainly wasn't.

See above.

Anyway, I decided to pull up the only numbers we have: sales inside Japan. Although this does counter my earlier point a bit, it's useless to talk about global popularity if we can't quantify it. At least this gives us SOME measure with which we can discuss this without just throwing around assumptions.

List of anime airing from Fall 2011 and onwards, with average sales equal or greater to S;G (using this as benchmark since it's the lowest selling example in the OP), follows in the next post.

Japan

It'll be remembered as a decent Isekai, nothing more.

My opinion > your opinion

>I know there were stuff like the JoJo adaptations and Ping Pong
Which reminds me: when the fuck is Science Saru going to announce something?

Seems pretty legit desu

OPM is just at 10,000. Just to put it into perspective against the others.

Jesus, I guess the west and Japan are really two different beasts.

The fact that at some point everyone is or has seen it is all it needs to be iconic.

As far as the anime fandom in general, Kill la Kill has literally defined the 2010's so far. Nothing else has left an impact like it has. If we're strictly talking Sup Forums, then Kill la Kill still goes on the list along with Love Live, Osomatsu, and ugh ReZero.

>Major titles
>Another
>Noragami
>Deadman Wonderland
What?

Why would anyone here really care about what japs do or like? Cant we talk about what we though was good or what made a "big splash" in the west?
"Japan has shit taste" is a meme at this point.

ReZero is also reaching for that 10k now as it releases. Osomatsu came out last winter, and is 60k+ and everyone who mentioned it probably knows what that chart looks like anyway.

Because "best shows of post 2011 era" is a lot different than most popular/impactful.

Didn't hunter x hunter start again in 2011. That's a show that was huge worldwide and was actually good.

We're really only just starting to feel Free!s impact too.

Don't you have some disgusting fujoshit whore to go fuck?

Me on the left

Yeah 2011 and it was an adaptation of a manga that's older than Naruto and Bleach

You can talk about impact in the west, if you talk about japan you just get a bd sales figure list which does fuck all for discussion.

There's a lot of people that don't like or hjust hate Love Live, me included, but you can't negate the fact it had a huge ass impact in the anime industry AND the idol industry, wich makes it a more interesting case.

You're idea of what's popular or impactful in the west is based on you're experience with internet forums (that mostly watch the same kind of anime as you), which I think is a little worse.

Are you sure?

Erased. The ending felt a bit rushed but the Kayo arc was really good

>anime
>impact in the west
Are you serious?

Where did I do that? It's on the list.
Granted I did ignore it in some earlier posts, but that was just because it slipped my mind. I never said that LL wasn't big.

not when it's already been forgotten

Sorry, I wasn't talking about "you" in particular, maybe I misused it.

Beause an anime has dolls and people buy them its iconic, this fucking thread.

Shinsekai Yori was memorable, not as widely seen by the masses though I don't think.

in your dreams is where that trash left a sliver of impact

Try to read the comment again.

By us maybe, again not even 2% of the global market.

Because Jebus was always cancer.

I didnt mean to reply, was mistake.

Do people still sing the praises for Erased?

they sold Re:Zero curry at a curry place I like, so I'm gonna say that's the most impact any anime in the past 6 years has done on anyone.

Tomino's final Gundam came out 2 years ago

We're the only ones that watched it.

SSY was fantastic, and I agree that it was memorable to me as an individual, but to claim that it had impact or left a big splash (either in the industry or on the consumer base) is unfortunately very wrong.

The real question is have there been any """"GOOD"'''"' anime since 2012
