You realize world is getting dumber when you compare anime in 90s to what we get in 2026. There's nothing on par with berserk , ghost in the shell , cowboy bebop or lain. It's all redundant isekais and romcom slop and shounen with no actual meaning other than fighting.
Comparing the peak of a whole decade to the slop of today is apples to oranges
>>84566623Nigga they are literally making a Ghost in the Shell adaptation that is the closest to the manga right fucking now. Get off your dipshit "things use to be better in X decade" chud horse and grow up.
>>84566645Animation sucks and looks like slop >>84566644Mane anything good this decade
>>84566660>looks like slopScience Saru's "look" for their GITS adaptation is almost a near-copy of the manga. If you think it looks like shit then you hate the source material, dumbass.
>>84566645I like that its close to the manga but thats only one example, most all else is zogged aside from smallfry animators on YouTube
>>84567441Its because normalfaggots like you and mothersbasement started watching anime, now they exclusively target you and people like you.
>>84566623i think theres laws againt alcohol and cigarettes in anime or smtng now
Nah. Dandandan is peak.
>>84567467so yeah we are in agreement that the animation landscape is different now
>>84567537Yes only its your normalfag le manime faggot fault. Anime was peak during the moe phase.
>>84567709Early moe and manime are both great, its just that shrimple
>>84566623A lot things are shitty or mid, we just forget about the shitty/mid things in time because we don't try to. It's survivorship biases of memories both in collective consciousness and individual.It's ok to enjoy the high water marks of yesteryear's and feel somber, but tsunami's are waves you remember more than any other.
>>84566623Cyberpunk: edgerunnersFrieren: beyond journeys endA Silent Voice
>>84568510Before anyone says frieren is redundant isekai slop. Respectfully, either:1. Watch it2. Rope yourself
X anime:>post-apocalyptic bloody battles>fighting demons/vampires/giant insects>topless androids shooting people in the face>heady Japanese philosophy and moralityZoom anime:>what if you died and there were cute girls in the afterlife>what if a wizard is a little girl but she's totally strong>what if Dragon Ball Z was animated on 1/4 the budget and talent>no thinking, just consume and get excited for the next season>One Punch Man season 390s anime is so divorced from 2020s anime, it's hard to compare it. It's not even the same creature.
>>84568925Huh? most gen Xs don't even watch anime and are normies sure a bunch of good anime came out at that time but i've had older anime "fans" tell me the JJBA ova was garbage and they didn't know what Vampire Hunter D was.Also you're nitpicking Kingdom came out in 2006 and is popular amongst younger manga fansI hate generation slop so much its unreal..
>>84566623I think its end stage capitalism not so much we are getting dumberbut taking a risk on a more original movie, anime, music, any art really is off the tablewe are in a type what format sells factory you know what im sayin
>>84568947>most gen Xs don't even watch animeI'm well aware of that fact.Doesn't change how good and unique 90s anime was. We would pay $30 for a bootleg VHS tape just to see something cool besides fucking Friends and Frasier on television.
>>84566623The 90's had slop anime too, but nostalgia and anime being less accessible back then has blinded you
