back in my childhood.
Back then, the popular stories were still traditional hero tales about young MCs traveling far and wide, becoming heroes, and saving the world.
Nowadays, 99% of anime on the market revolve around the core theme of “getting pretty girls.”
Almost every story is designed around whether the female lead is cute enough to make the audience's dicks hard.
When did this trend start shifting?
2000?

>When did Japanese anime shift from heroic adventures to being about “getting pretty girls”?
They're about both, retard. There's no hard fast distinction like you're claiming.

Yeah ok

>>285267602
I'd say mid 90s
maybe a downstream effect from eroge

Hmm, I remember back in 2000, TV anime adaptations of gal games were everywhere.

Not an argument
I don't like Mushoku Tensei but still not an argument

OP did more research than anyone in this thread, both series required the MC to save the world because someone became obsessed with getting the same pretty girl.

I wish I knew the answer.

This guy never saw Z Gundam kek. Literally already in the inmediate sequel of MSG the focus of the franchise passed to the male MC trying to get pretty girls
>>
why is OP so gay?
>>
>>285267602
A major point of GQuacks is that Machu spends it mainly as a bored punk rather than anyone heroic, and chasing after a boy, Shuuji, was generally to her severe detriment, hence why she had to fight him at the end.
>>
>>285267602
Watch more anime you homosexual.

>>285267602
It's always had both, but people are sick of remembering that there's no fortune to be found in this world or it's future. So it's fallen out of fashion for other stuff. Gacha is fueling the dominance of the waifu mill, though.

That's the protag from Gundam GQuuuuuuX. The romance was indeed bad though.

There aren't any men left in Japan, or really among anime fans. Notice how every single weeb today is basically a horny, but extremely submissive faggot, who wants to take the role of the woman. Anime has simply come to reflect that.
It's really fucking bizarre that anime became woker than western media, without any political pressure at all. The weebs just instantly submitted.
Tranime indeed.

This nigga started watching anime during the pandemic and wants to pretend he's been at it his whole life.

Hero journeys get boring after a while. Watching cute girls doing some sort of hobby (preferably male oriented) never gets old.
>>
>>285267602
Because getting girls was so normal no one would even consider the possibility of a large number of men remaining virgins until death.

DONT WATCH SLOP WATCH GIGASLOP!

When the audience started getting older on average.

>>285267602
Japanese male main characters usually sucks and females almost always sells pretty well. Imagine that you check the sales of your merchendaises and see how 99% of it consists of pretty girls. Of course you'll cut off the resources on male characters.

>cherrypicked old stuff vs. cherrypicked new stuff thread
What even is the point of these? You will not glean any new information from this shit unless you at least pick entire seasons to compare them against each other. You are just talking out of your ass and getting brainless nostalgiafags who are similarly talking out of their ass to reaffirm your opinion.
>>
>>285267602
I know this is obvious bait, but it's always been like this.

There's a serious Gundam anime coming out soon, so stop your bitching.
>>
>>285267602
It was always about getting pretty girls even the heroic adventures were really about getting pretty girls.
