Are we in a golden era of anime?
>have to update my top 10 almost yearly
>over half the list is now series from recent years
This is after it's been static for almost decades, I genuinely think it can only go downhill from here

Things are really good
>>
Post top 10, no I'm not here to be contrary I actually agree with you. At least 5 anime of the last decade are top 10 for me as well
>>
>>287747996
>>287748286
Who could argue with these choices. Such fantastic anime one and all.
>>
>>287748397
You must be new here
>>
>>287747996
The golden era was 2006 to 2012. Anime will never be that good or creative again.

LOL

>Golden era
>2006-2012

Strongly disagree.
When we're talking about creativity and quality of animation, I'd say 1984 - 1999.

Beautiful Dreamer
Angel's Egg
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Evangelion
Serial Experiments Lain
Ghost in the Shell

Nothing post 2006 can compare to those.
>>
>>287750265
tutu, revue starlight, tatami galaxy...animation? kaguya hime, howls castle, millenium actress...we still have some good stuff
>>
>>287750367
You named six anime to illustrate your argument that there are good post-2006 anime.
Of them, four are from before 2006.

Tatami Galaxy is good, no denying that, but it's hardly on the same level as the best 90's anime either in terms of animation quality or narrative.
>>
>>287747996
OP wake up, this isn't 2006
>>
>>287750265
>Evangelion
>quality of animation
I think you have your nostalgia goggles on. There were like 2 good scenes from Evangelion and the rest of the episodes were full of budget stills and cut content.
>>
>>287747996
>letting recency bias cloud your judgment on your top 10 picks
lol
The newest anime on my 3x3 is from 2017
>>
>>287750553
>>287750265
oh and same goes for Lain, Utena, and Angel's egg
lots of budget low quality moments
>>
>>287750600
Recency bias has always existed, why would it only start working now after decades
>>
>>287750553
>>287750607
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I rewatched Evangelion when it was being re-run on TV recently and was blown away by how good it looks.
>>
>>287747996
Imagine bragging about recency bias.

The difference is most people didn't actually watch old anime which are largely untranslated. Whereas this dude is watching a ton of shows this season

eva's animation is underrated but the direction is what really shines

I wish I could enjoy eating shit as much as you, OP

Yeah, I don't have top 10's nor favorites because I believe those things are retarded, but I have noticed that it has been some time since a lot of very good anime started coming out every season, while the supposed great anime of the 2010's were okay at best. Though I have also been thinking that I might need to go back to the 2010's and dig deeper, because I've also seen a lot of people complaining that music and that videogames have become shit in the last decades but I have literally never stopped finding a lot of incredibly good songs and games newly released each year; thus, I realized that both music and videogames have always been in a golden age since they came to be, and the only thing that changed was that the mainstream culture started promoting crap instead of the good things, so to find the gems you have to put in a bit of effort instead of just being spoonfed what the culture recommends.

Realizing this makes me think that I have not put in that effort for 2010's anime; it was when I started and pretty much only watched what the normal niggers consider good (some examples Madoka, Jojo, Nichijou, Kill la Kill, Konosuba, etc.) and they were all either lame or just okay but never good. It was only until the 2020's that I realized that whatever the normgroid are flocking to is to be avoided, so perhaps if I go over the 2010's season by season with this outlook I might find that anime has also always been in a golden age, perhaps...

>over half the list is now series from recent years
Anon you're retarded
>>
>>287747996
It's not the 90s anymore
>>
The only really good anime I've seen in the 2020s were Sonny Boy and Takopi

Even a lot of artsy stuff like Heike were only ok
>>
>>287752188
Don't be pedantic anon it's unbecoming
you know they're not talking about untranslated 60s/70s shows when they say old anime is better
>>
>>287754685
>Sonny Boy
Pretentious dogshit with no plot (pretty art though)

Anyways, there have been plenty of good anime the past 6 years. Odd Taxi, OnK, Vinland, Spy Family, I could go on.
>>
>>287748485
Ehh I would start it a little earlier
>>
>>287753324
Saying "I don't have favorites" is the most retarded thing said so far ITT

>Are we in a golden era of anime?

How the hell did you come to this conclusion?

Where are the original IPs? Where are the double-cour seasonal shows? Where are the 50 episode Gundam-type shows they used to make over a decade ago? Where did all the money go to modern shows that make them seem so animated poorly? Where did all the best animation directors and staff go? Why is everything Isekai and 3D animated now?

The industry has a HUGE quality gap to fill if it wants to be as good as the 90's-2010's in terms of anime quality. Currently its fucking trash in comparison to how glorious it used to be over a decade ago sadly.
>>
the last few years definitely made up for the awful run that was 2012-2022. truly the worst era of anime by a landslide.
still a sizeable amount of more bad than good but that's everything in life.
>>
>>287753324
It's just that the populace and/or bots shills the most lame shit like Metaphor. I don't feel compelled to validate it with a "gaming is really good". We speak in different languages. It's nothing like the Golden Era of recs like SMW/Chrono Trigger/Earthbound, I can understand of not liking CT but it has something going for it and yes there's niche good games that aren't those.

I don't know why everyone's being so retarded, A golden era is different to THE golden age and we're definitely getting enough amazing stuff on a consistent basis to justify a golden era, even if the amount of low effort trash increased due to the relaxed entry barrier
>>
>>287747996
Yea, the golden era of censored gay baby anime for little kids.

Is anything being censored except for fanservice
