Is there a legitimate reason why we can't get good main character's nowadays? Does every single one of them have to be one dimensional and have cookie cutter designs?

Because Japanese guys all look like fags now.

>Because Japanese guys all look like fags now.
Haven't they always?

Need more manga, for one. Successful manga with a creative MC design should lead to an anime.

>left side
>characters from 30 years of anime

>right side
>characters from 10 years of anime

mhhh. also nice cherry picking as usual. i made one of those pictures as well at some point.

I'm always amazed at how these threads aren't satire and the OP is just genuinely retarded.

Two of those on the left are getting a new anime in a few months.

What video game is this from?

...

It's a good laugh, at least.

>also nice cherry picking as usual
>specifically choosing popular series of the past decade is cherry picking
You do a proper one then.

>11 / 3 / 9 /
Nice try, samefags.

But Lelouch is coming back, OP.

>now
pingpong, kemonozume, ttgl, made in abyss, katanagatari, drifters, mononoke, redline

wow popular anime that have character designs that arent even remotely similar. guess the pre 00s lose again, huh?

Hi, user.

Hi cutie

nice try i guess

Aint that cherrypicking too?

no because i did it

> popular series of the past decade
>Sakurasou, NagiAsu, and Classroom of the Elite
>no Madoka, Bake, Love Live, or Osomatsu
What.

>pingpong
>kemonozume
Yuasa. Go figure.
>ttgl
I didn't know 2007 was in the 2010's,
>made in abyss
retarded
>katanagatari
Haven't seen
>drifters
trash.
>Mononoke
see ttgl
>Redline
It's a movie, not a series.

Nice try though.

>in the 2010's
no one ever said 10s, i said last 10 years you illiterate monkey. beisdes, i never said that id make a list from the last 10 years.
>It's a movie, not a series.
blackjack picture is from the ovas, not the tv show either.
>trash
really? tahts what you wanna go for when the left side has trigun, rov, kenshin, berserk, gto and green jacket?

>Kazuma
>bad

>blackjack picture is from the ovas
It's practically a series considering the amount of episodes. Hell, LotGH is also an OVA but we consider that a series. You do have a point though.
>tahts what you wanna go for when the left side has trigun, rov, kenshin, berserk, gto and green jacket?
Flawless argument. You got me. How dare I call the masterpiece known as Drifters "trash" when I have terrible shows such as Lupin III. Trigun, Rose of Versailles, ect... You make an excellent point.

In fact I'm going to go kill myself right now. So long guys.

One of those characters literally got fucked in the ass.

Unfortunately Shinji was one of the factors with this change with how most anime MCs are designed nowadays, which was strange really when you consider how his normal appearance was supposed to showcase his lack of any real self interest or individualism. A theme that has been present throughout the show, yet due to Evangelion’s monumental success despite it abstract and art house nature. People have unfortunately made this type of design into a trend while completely ignoring or forgetting the context or intention behind it.

>It's practically a series considering the amount of episodes
irrelevant since the ovas visual quality is closer to a movie than a tv show. which can be said for most ova, even very niche ones.
>How dare I call the masterpiece known as Drifters
bit defensive arent we? if drifters is trash then i really dont see how kenshin, gto or trigun of all things could be considered to be anything else. this was never about something being good by the way, it was about the variety in character designs.

Green jacket best jacket

>it was about the variety in character designs.
Character designs don't have to be elaborate as fuck to be considered good. Sometimes simplicity works fine. The issue is with almost every show nowadays has the same basic teenage boy, faggy hair generic design. Sure there are shows that do give you some variety but not that many.

Wait, what. There are people who don't think GTO is a masterpiece in Sup Forums now?

They are known as retards. Usually it's best t ignore and move on.

GTO is overrated as fuck

Considering 99% of anime comedies are horrendous, GTO is one of the very few that has decent humor while still having heart and not making it a complete memefest.

I knew people could be retarded, but I didn't know they could be THAT retarded. Surprised the shit out of me.

Kenshin is a fag
Guts got BLACKED and has a fag romance with Gurifisu.
Joe lost the fucking fight and died like a cuck

>to be considered good
moving the goal post again.
variety in design has nothing to do with quality of design.
> The issue is with almost every show nowadays has the same basic teenage boy, faggy hair generic design
and the same applies for most shows during the 80s and the 90s respectively. designs overlapped hard, but you dont know that because you dont actually watch anime which result in you not having the slightest fucking clue how samey the character designs were back then.
yea, i think those people usually are above the age of 18.
funny since the 2015 version is more consistent in its overall quality, while fujiko mine (even though being shit) has a million times more artistic merit.

>only underages like GTO
The absolute state of this board these days, fuck

he said, using a Sup Forums reaction image. quite ironic

>funny since the 2015 version is more consistent in its overall quality
You say the same shit in every single Lupin thread. You even word it the exact same way without ever going into detail explaining why. I'm not saying you're wrong which you are but you never give good reasons why you think this way.

You are a complete idiot.

this is literally the second time ive said this. and the first time wasnt in a lupin thread, it was in a 3x3 thread. nice try, though.
very substantial rebuttal. thanks for playing.

VOTOMS Cells look better desu. None of that weird 3D effect over a 2D background.

>this is literally the second time ive said this. and the first time wasnt in a lupin thread, it was in a 3x3 thread. nice try, though.
Lel. Nice dodge.

what am i dodging here? you said "X is best", i say "no it isnt". my incentive to provide any actual argument is about the same as yours. although i gotta say, the fact that fujiko mine has more artistic merit than almost all other lupin episodes thrown together is basically a fact. part2 has like two or so episodes that are worth bothering from a visual standpoint. i guess at least the movies have a huge variety in regards to character and world designs, so thats a plus.

The only one you're wrong about is Akame. She has a great design. I'll agree about the others though.

What's the problem? Get a photo of everyone in this thread and you'll all be even more of a one dimensional cookie cutter faggot.

>Does every single one of them have to be one dimensional
Bottom right of the Now section practically became a whole new character by the end of the series but you probably didn't even watch it all the way because "it's shit".

Funny because it's true. Good laugh user.

Modern MCs really are shit.

...

Post caw caws.

Liberal faggots trying to talk instead of fight. Just watch days of our lives and stop being the huge douche canoes that cancer up our fucking anime. Go back to mlp where you all touch weiners in the vast meadows autism.

Can you translate this to English?

riel men fite wiff bare fists, liberal fags talk lyl

I don't know who is baiting who in these threads

Sup Forums

Because anime fans (especially here on a), just want CGDQT, and other BS

Because you are cherrypicking shitty anime MC

Hey retard, it's a well known fact that those shitty anime MCs represent the vast majority of modern anime, so it's not cherry picking at all.

Stories that are being made today are less about inspiring the viewer, but moreso making them as relatable to the viewer as possible - though it's creatively super lame, it's what rakes in the money unfortunately.

Okay so what do you guys mean when you critique a character for being 1 dimensional?

Hey dont hate on Houtaru

Any positive examples of modern anime inspiring the viewers?

First one I could think of is Kamina, though Gurren Lagann was ages ago - but yeah, he kinda had that old school MC feel. Especially with his death being a massive reference to Yabuki Joe.

Maybe
