ITT: We Predict how anime landscape would look like

So say for example, SAO was actually published back in 2002 and won that award.

How would things have changed?

damn, 70's K-on looks way superior

for me its the 80s,man

...

...

How well received would OPM be if it got released in 2008 (just before the second comic book Superhero boom)?

2000 and 2010 are the worst.

they all look like shit

90s > 00s = 80s > 10s

...

It would get overshadowed by .hack but if the odd chance that it gets more popular than it then it would be the be a cult classic that people will defend because of their rose tinted childhood glasses

Automatically traced CGI, converted into detailed 2D animation

Which company would anime it?

Deen or J.C staff. Maybe bones if lucky

dr stone is fun

DEEN

80s > 70s > 00s > 60s > 90s > 10s

10 > 90 >>>> 60 > 00 > 70 > 80

In terms of ugliness

Supreme taste

My nigga.
Also, I think if they rotocosped cuter people with cosplay-like make up on 10s could probably have looked way better

Could is the key word.

If it's fights were just as or if not better animated then I'd think it'd would be very popular and the flaws would get ignored for the nostalgia factor.
