Aside from Gundam, and Edgerunners from like 3 years ago.

Is Scifi anime a dead genre?
>>
>>288476834
I fucking love those kind of big, fluffy 80s ponyails.

I'm so fucking tired of these endless "scifi anime is dead" threads from people who don't watch anime
>>
>>288477057
Better than "WhY DoNT DEY MAKe MaNANimE aNYmORE?" threads. Actually both are worst.
>>
>>288477057
It is like trying to get into any show. No one is going to watch said thing if you don't talk about it. So you can throw that trash opinion out the fucking window faggot.
>>
>AAAAAA ANIME IS DEAD
>what? I should look for newer anime on my own? AND WATCH A SHOW NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT???? AAAAAAA SAVE ME MALMAN I COULDN'T POSSIBLY WATCH A SHOW OUT OF PURE ENJOYMENT INSTEAD OF FOMOHOMO CLOUT CHASING FRIEND SIMULATING STIMULATION DOPAMINE INJECTION!!!!!!!!!

this reads how I imagine a faggot would be

>>288477180
Well it's literally quoting OP.
>>
>>288476834
Sci-fi in general is dead. Modern dystopian sci-fi is exhausted and no one’s making optimistic sci-fi because everyone thinks civilization is declining. China is probably the only country still producing compelling sci-fi because they’re the only country still optimistic about technology.
>>
No, you just don't count sci-fi as sci-fi unless it mindlessly copies certain familiar elements. And Edgerunners is not anime.
>>
>>288476834
>>288477214
We still have a bunch of untranslated sci-fi Manga. Sci-fi is not dead. The real problem is that people don't want to translate it.
>>
>>288477306
>And Edgerunners is not anime.
it literally is. The entire Japan says it is
>>
>>288476834
I'm watching three this season alone.
>>
>>288477306
when I read posts like this saying anime is not anime I know they are just shitposting

after that shit show Terra Formers I understand why.

>>288477372
Back in my day Japanimation was made by Japs with some parts outsourced
But Edgerunners is by Polish people with some parts outsourced to Japs
>>
>>288476834
Edgerunners was dogshit
>>
>>288477086
>>288477057
Really, too many tape traders haven't gotten over Akira, Ninja Scroll, FoTNS and other shitty anime back then. They are worse than covid faggots on average
>>
>>288477057
It's usually from people who got into the medium with AKIRA, NINJA SCROLL, GITS, NGE(ignore that rei and asuka are hentai material) and other anime and don't know jack shit about the medium otherwise.

Don't you dare conflate this simple fact. There was no purist faggotry gate keeping people from the hobby but angry virgin neckbeard without charisma in my time.
>>
>>288478030
And most of those faggots got gatekept by azumanga daioh, princess tutu, rozen maiden, haruhi etc
>>
>>288478030
State fact, retard starts yelling about "gatekeeping". Sad!
>>
>>288478030
And it was much better then without faggots like you ruining everything nerdy. Kill yourself, retarded tourist.
>>
>>288476834
people don't care about space that much. Remember how barely anyone cared about the latest moon flyby. The only thing making headline is how a rocket was caught using chopstick (I think people are starting to lose interest in that too), and how a rocket exploded like a nuclear bomb.

Back in the day, people had to resort to shipping side-characters in harem shows if they wanted some yuri.

Really that is your only example?

Cleaning your gun while pointing it at someone's head seems like a really bad idea.

It's Mihoshi's head.

Beatbreak is still airing and the new GitS is a little over a month away from premiering. Sci-fi isn't toally dead, it's just lost its luster because people have (for the most part, rationally) lost a lot of hope for technology and the future it's supposed to create. Much of the sci-fi future is already here and it's simultaneously dystopian and more banal than any of the dystopian stories, let alone the optimistic ones.
>>
>>288480842
Indeed, it wasn't until early 00s that authors realized they could just get rid of the male main character and just write shows about heroines that never get the dick for maximum profits.
>>
I've stopped caring for sci-fi because everytime I try to imagine one I think everyone is going be cyborgs or bioengineered and I instantly lose all interest
I have to pull a Star Wars and give up on any pretense of science to be able to enjoy it
>>
>>288488627
>I have to pull a Star Wars and give up on any pretense of science to be able to enjoy it
And that's a good thing.

I liked Banner of the Stars.

>Modern dystopian sci-fi is exhausted
Mostly because the dystopia we live in is both worse and more boring than any fiction could have ever predicted.
>>
>>288482859
As messy as the plot was, the details of the setting was fun and unique for its time.

That series is from the 90s. 80s would be more permed or floofy.

Stop necrobumping you retarded faggot
>>
>>288476834
It's been fucking dead for decades, because the retards that make up the lowest common denominator are genuinely offended by the concept of science.
