frieren, dandadan, chainsaw man, jujutsu kaisen...I'm tired... I can't do it anymore... They're all so ass... I hate modern anime and its new community so much... I'm gonna watch every seasonal anime from the earlier 00's and 10's and never touch post pandemic slop... NEVER...anime doesn't have any sort of anime vibes anymore... it has completely lost its soul.
>hate modern anime>only know basic mainstream hits
>>282429123watch watanare if you want soul
>>282429123You're a beta male.
>>282429176>beta maleGood way to describe modern anime/manga consumers.
>I'm gonna watch every seasonal anime from the earlier 00's and 10'sBut they are even worse? Haremshit and battle haremshit overload.
>>282429274full of otaku soul and filters all normies and fags like you
>>282429311I've watched more of them than you, retard, back when crunchy was a pirate site.They are still crap.
>>282429123shounenslop was always ass and not sure why are you only finding this out nowit was ass back when naruto and the big 3 were a thing and it's ass now
>>282429123Anime has become too formulaic and industrialized. You know that every character interaction, every plot is based on what some high exec thinks will work. It's no longer a medium for creativity and fun, it's just another money-making machine like Hollywood/Marvel .
>new bad>slightly less new goodPathetic
>>282429393>has become too formulaic and industrialized.You REALLY need to check out anime made 20 years ago.
>>282429408yes, and it's not pathetic, but reality you filthy tranny.
>>282429441>90s Romcom >MC actually has character instead of just being a self-insert template. He's not a “chad,” but he's also not a socially awkward retard who stutters every word he says>the heroine is actually charming and isn't portrayed as a goddess on earth who you have to kiss the ground she walks onThere have always been character tropes and such, but anime used to have life and soul. Now it feels like it's being driven by a machine following patterns to sell you the same thing over and over again.
>>282429123Frieren does not belong on that list
>>282429123Retard
>>282429123Funny. The older I get, the more I appreciate and enjoy anime from all eras. There's been a lot of great shit in the past 5 years that I'm so glad I got to watch.
>>282429862such as?
>>282429862For me it's the opposite. The older I get, the less I enjoy current anime and the more I appreciate things made in the past. I'd like to enjoy modern anime more than I do, but it just doesn't feel like it's made for me.
>>282430001you sound like you watch too many jewtube video essays
>>282429604writers, mangaka back then had social lives and stuff going on. a lot of manga and anime had a human quality that can only be acquired from having rich personal experiences a lot of stuff these days has this vibe that it was made by a depressed neet for depressed neets
>>282430001Then... don't watch it? There's tons of great anime from the 70s/80s/90s waiting for you.
>>282430030Nah, I just know what I enjoy and what I don't. Most modern anime isn't made for me and I'm not going to force myself to like it.
>>282429172>watch putrid slop if you want more garbageNo thanks.
>>282430001>The older I get, the less I enjoy current anime and the more I appreciate things made in the past.Are you me?
>>282430141That's what I've been doing. Since last year I've been watching a lot of stuff from the 70s, 80s and 90s that I had pending, barely touching recent releases.
>>282429123This is what happens when watching seasonal anime becomes your main hobby. You get burnt out by mediocrity, and even the good shows seem less appealing because your attitude changes. I would suggest diversifying your interests, branching off into Japanese film or lit if you really like nihon, etc. Man was not made to watch 15 shows a season.
>>282430254Maybe, lol. I was starting to think I didn't like anime anymore, but watching stuff like picrel and feeling like a kid again makes me realise that I just don't like the current stuff.
>>282430522those looks like westoid cartoons at first glance so maybe you indeed no longer like anime
>>282429604Oh My Goddess ran all through the 90s though.
>>282429123Time to start reading Greek literature.
>>282430587Funny you say that, because in recent years anime has been closer to Western cartoons than ever before in terms of visuals, especially when you compare it to past works like this one.
>>282431133meanwhile western cartoons have been getting closer to anime with stuff like She-Ra, Creature Commandos, and Arcane
>>282429123>Old good new bad.>For the gorillionth time this week alone.
>>282429123>uses the word "modern" wrong
CSM is kino thoughever
>>282431001Yes, and it wasn't the norm. Not everyone was trying to do Oh My Goddess back then, and yet K1 was more tolerable than most MCs today. He wasn't a stuttering retard and had a hobby that didn't involve being a loser.
Boku no pico
>>282431185the pseuds need their daily dose of circlejerking elsewhere now that jewtube and even leddit turned on their tourist asses, please understand
>>282431164Don't forget Castlevania.
>>282431247>K1 was more tolerable than most MCs todayDisagree.There's also Tenchi, who is basically an isekai protagonist without the isekai. And El Hazard is isekai, and the show's only saving grace is that Jinnai mostly steals it. Or Eva. Nadesico. Mahou Tsukai Tai. Love Hina. None of this shit is remotely new.
>>282431685>None of this shit is remotely newI never said it was, the thing is that 90% of manga authors and anime writers in the past weren't trying to do that exact type of MC like they do now. Cool MCs were everywhere and were in the majority.
>>282429123>frieren, dandadan, chainsaw man, jujutsu kaisenAll 4 are good, to different degreesFrieren mogs the other 3, and csm and jjk have serious problems past their first half
>>282429123>be 40 year old ojisan>watch media made for people 1/4 his age>WTF WHY I DON'T LIKE THIS!?
>>282429123YouTube recommended it yesterdayI'm on ep 6 now, it's sooo good
>>282432052Nice reading comprehension, retard. OP literally wrote that he doesn't like post-pandemic anime, not that he dislikes all anime.
>>282429123I really have no problem with modern anime. I do agree with you on the fans but that it is all too easy to avoid.
>>282429123I literally cannot understand the success of dandandan, its a romcom with a battle shounen coating. It is just absolutely so bad and childish.Frieren is basically Blackrock slop.Chenso started strong but fell off, overall is mid at bestjjk is fastfood for toddlersYeah I agree its all trash, but 90's > 2000's > 2010's
Bring contrarian is not a personality trait and makes you look extremely insecure about your own tastes.
>>282433020>BlackrockKill yourself back to /pol/, tourist
>>282433020Finally someone put into words what makes Frieren feel so off to me. It's so utterly sanitized and soulless. It's that modern Blackrock "made for everyone" shit that refuses to take risks.
