And why is it the early to mid 2000s? >amazing aesthetics and artstyle >no pandering to streaming services >tons of fan service >good character design >tons of well written stories being adapted, very little romcoms and moeshit

>>282174585It was the "era" when the old, based generation peaked in skill and creativity, and it was before the otaku got into the industry and turned it into a conveyor belt of outsourced slop
shame they'll forever be blurry 360p messes
>>282174585It's the 70s.
>>282174585Kill yourself /v/ tourist
>>282174585Anime was at its best in the 2010s and the people who say otherwise are Old Good New Bad fags.
>>282174585hey it's that chick from evanescence! Bring Me To Life!
>the last good anime was 11 years ago
>>282175139>reddit Gate Puc unrelated?
>>282174585It was good into the 2010s, because anime was still written by writers.
>>282174697Do people really believe otaku ruined everything?
raisins due to eat hyperoats
>>282174585there is more of a consistent output of good shows on a regular basis than there ever has been, to the point where there are anywhere from 3-10 good shows running at any point in timebut 1995-2006, while having less good shows in terms of how many there were, also produced the most unmatched masterpieces of the medium
>>282175204Come on.
True. 70s and 00s were the best. So many classics.
>>282174585>new = le badFuck off and die already
Ergo Proxy fucking sucked
>>282175414Filtered
>>282175240>Do people really believe otaku ruined everything?Not otaku exclusively but writers that aren't exposed to anything beyond pop culture regardless of where they hail from. You get the same problem in the West with people only exposed to Star Wars or Marvel now writing for the IP so its all self referential trash rather than them being exposed to the source material that Lucas used to cobble together the franchise to begin with and going further down the chain to contemporary literature of prior eras like Charles Dickens.
>>282175433It was practically the posterchild for underwhelming shallow pseudbait for years. And would probably still would be if it actually had any kind of following that recommended it to others. It doesn't because there's no reason to not watch the tens of other shows that do the same thing but several times better.
>>282174697>>282175504Retard. Watch more anime, tourist faggot.
>>282174585I would say the late 90s - early 2000s was probably where anime peaked, with 1999 in particular being an extremely good year for anime, but when you look back at it, 1999 was an extremely good year in general.
>>282175139This. early 10s was phenomenal and arguably the best era of anime.
>>282175139Based 2010s chad
right the fuck now.
>>2821751392010s were good but not because of overrated shows like Steins;Gate.
>no moeshit in the mid 2000'sWho's gonna break it to her?But in general, I agree with the sentiment. The 2010s and 2020s has their fair share of high quality projects, but it's considerably lower compared to the amount of high-profile releases from 2001 to 2006.Conversely, this era had its fair share of kuso anime.The only thing that really peeves me about anime from the 2000s is how a lot of the tropes and fetishes from the 90s carried over into that decade.I have been rewatching the Mai series in preparation for its 20th anniversary, and I roll my eyes whenever there is a tentacle scene. That shit should have stayed dead in 1998.
Well, i'd add 90's to that. 90-2010 had all the good stuff.
>>282175572It still gets recommended constantly. It never tried to be deeper than it is, its straightforward and well done. You should take your meds.
>>282174585The 00s were something else.
>>2821745851995-2010ish was kino
>>282176119I don't get the appeal of S;G and still don't understand why it gets held up as one of the best anime of that era. I've watched seasonals that I thought were better than it.
70s
>>282176144>I roll my eyes whenever there is a tentacle sceneyou are the part of the problem
>>282178986Whatever Mr. Octopus. Don't you have some mollusks to scrounge for on the ocean floor?
>>282179122That's funny. How about a trip to the ocean for your next vacation? Bring your girlfriend along.
2000s. That was before zoomers fucking ruined everything.
>>282174585definitely early 2010s
>>282174585
>>282175572No, I'm sorry to say you were simply filtered. Its easily a top 10 ever made show.
>>282175657>i don't like shit>you need to eat more shit, t-t-touristslit your throat trannyyou're the cancer that kills the medium, because you're mentally ill and think of nothing more then to consume endless pig slop to numb the pain of your abominable existence
>>282181346calm down and watch more anime
>>282181346You're such an election tourist
>>282174697>and it was before the otaku got into the industryYou're talking about the 70s. Otaku overtook the industry during the 80s. The 2000s were a decade of otaku works.
>>282174585This is the era I got into anime, and I do think it was the best. So many unique and interesting concepts. So much ambition and drive to do something impressive instead of regurgitate what came before. The main downside was anime so often spent their last 3 or 4 episodes turning into some absolute pseudointellectual gibberish to try to prove they were super duper smart. JRPGs had the exact same problem.
>>282174585>>>/v/

>>282175268>there is more of a consistent output of good shows on a regular basis than there ever has been, to the point where there are anywhere from 3-10 good shows running at any point in timeThis is b8, there haven't been 3-10 good shows in the last 5 years much less every year.>>282175819>posts terrible shouneslopMan you are not even trying...
>>282183038Beacuse faggots associate old good new bad with /v/ since the video game industry has also been an absolute fucking cesspool like all media which includes anime.Ironically so considering that because this year we got Silksong and Expedition 33 so it has been one of the better years of the last six or seven(the absolute state of the industry when two good games made by AA debvs are enough to consider it a good year).In contrast there hasn't been a good year for anime since like 2018 and this year is the worst so far, notice how on the board nobody is discussing any decent new show and it is all spam, generals or nostalgia shit.
>>282183038Posting style is clearly from /v/, a boorish cousin. This entire thread is useless. Its posts are not worth reading. No worthwhile message is being transmitted, it's all youtube comment tier social media blogposting and meaningless barren hot takes from tired minds who don't want to be here anyway. Every post can be translate as AAAA I EXIST, an animal's cry.
>>282175658This guy gets it, and Tenamonya was pure class.>>282176119>>2821751392010s was the anime dark ages as we transitioned out of the battle-harem era (which itself was a blight) and into the endless litrpg era, featuring edgy meguca-clones.Also Ergo Proxy is garbage for people that think Noir is deep.
>>282184038>AAAA I EXIST, an animal's cry.What? That's why animals cry?

>>282175139Steins Gate is overrated slop.
>>282174585The 90s will always be the best era
>>2821745851800s
>>282185436When they did plays?
>>282184421I laugh at people that think S;G is the peak of 2010s anime. So many good shows that came out during that time and they pick the poorly made time travel slop as the best one.
>>282174585>What's the best era of animethe era when I just got into it and everything felt cool and exciting
>>282189315This
>>282189044I love 2011 and consider it to be one of the best years of anime, and even then I would put Steins;Gate close to the bottom of my anime for that year just above all of the typical blah seasonal stuff.
>>282174585Anime is good now and you will miss it and resent the new things when it's gone.
>>282191960Nichijou is the best anime from that year and it's way better than SG and Anohana which was also horrible.
>>282192120>resent the new things when it's gone.What will be gone? Anime's getting replaced?
>>282192180Anohana has flaws but it actually made me feel which S;G never did.Nichijou was great as you said. Not enough people talk about how nice the animation is in that anime.
>>282191960HxH 2011 clears Steins;Gate and that's not even the best version of HxH.
>>282193667Now this is good taste.
>>282184109Movies, art, music, tv, shows. A LOT of really top notch cultural contributions were made across the world that year for some reason.
caused a tranny freak out by saying you like ergo proxy instead of loli slice of life
>>282174697narou ruined everything. it opened the floodgates for incompetent losers to write shitty fanfic tier stories, which are now being adapted one after another.
>>282174585Mid to late 90's for sure.The problem is that digital animation replaced traditional animation in the 2000's an early 2000's shows look pretty bad comparatively (not as bad as shows made today though, of course).
>>282195570Shōsetsuka ni Narō? The Japanese self-publishing novel website that was launched in 2004? 2004 was when anime was ruined?
>>282183667sages have no effect on anything, unless you're willing to flood the thread with 500+ sages. one bump (like this one) is enough to ruin your plot. sage was originally just to post without bumping the topic because you didn't think your post mattered enough for that, not some epic hacker tool to downvote the thread like it's fucking reddit.
>>282184091just how he does it, being the monkey he is. he projects it onto others.
>>282195649it was when it started to really go downhill, allowing incompetence and self indulgence to replace actual writing and ideas. it's where the flood of trashy isekais and other shit with titles longer than this post came from.
>>282174585pic unrelated i hope? ergo proxy is honestly a super shallow anime which front and backloads anything resembling plot, choosing to have almost scooby doo-esque episodic adventures while stuck in a boat where nothing happens for the majority of its runtimealso using it as an example of "tons of fanservice" is really funny, its a deeply unsexual anime for most of its run as its desperate to come off as philosophical and mature
>>282176234>It never tried to be deeper than it isthe robots literally quote philosophers out of context
>>282176119Steins;Gate was legitimately not good and I don't get the hype with it.
