I struggle to find anything worth watching these days, new or old, why is anime like this? There's a tiny handful of good to amazing shows and then the rest is absolute 0/10 trash. No other medium has such a huge gaping hole in quality. I wish I had lower standards like most user's here seem to have.

Unironically, the one thing that video games have with anime is that unlike music, movies and books, most if not all people almost exclusively hate on most popular things, but there are very very few actual guilty pleasures. Maybe it comes from the fact that anime in itself should be considered a guilty pleasure really.
But think how many haters VEG or Mob, or OPM have and how many fans absolute shit like Pupa or Junji Ito collection from Deen.
It seems to me that anime just genuinely has more objective trash.

99% of anime IS trash. I still eat junk food even though I know it isn't the healthiest thing. If you want enlightenment you aren't going to find it in a show.
David Ward
Other media's followers just embraced the idea of "great trash" while anime fans still haven't imo. As Pauline Kael put it. "Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash we have very little reason to be interested in them."
Christopher Bell
Video games and anime are more niche hobbies than the rest. Yeah, they've got mass appeal but there's a way higher % of people watching who are serious hobbyists and have cultivated their tastes over the years. They know what they like, they know what they don't, they know what's objective shit and what's just not their cup of tea. Anime, out of all mediums, DOES seem to have a HUGE amount of objective trash in it. Probably because it almost exclusively borders the line of "escapism aimed at those who appreciate imagination" vs "BUY THE BLURAYS LOOK PANTIES HAHA SHE'S SO CUTE SNIFF HER".
Kevin Sanders
Because anime trash is usually a boring 5/10 show that sputters along to the finish line. It's very very rarely so bad it's funny, it's usually so bad I'd rather do nothing.
Hudson Jones
I stopped watching anime sometime after the ‘big three’ became popular because of this reason, although I was out for about a decade until I relapsed and binged everything I could on Netflix. Still too much shit anime out there, disappointment after disappointment, nothing fufllling at all but that doesn’t stop me from wading through it all.

That's not what "great trash" means. In anime great trash would be things like Symphogear, JoJo, Keijo, Baccano, Genshiken. And many many other things, so much of it and in such a wide net.
We can appreciate them for what they are though, they're phenomenal trash. Hell I'd even call LoGH "trash pretending to be art" but in a good way, it scratches that itch for schlocky space opera that takes itself very seriously on a grand scale.

OP is exaggerating a little, but he is right. Out of the 518 anime I watched only 90 were actually good. When I watch a good show it gives me so much hope because the potential is certainly there, but the amount of garbage that is produced is staggering.
Noah Jones
Doesnt matter, with movies and games you can choose and there are tons of new ones I like coming out all the time because its so varied, with anime you cannot, anime is what it is and it wont change. You either like it or you dont. And you dont like it.

KyoAni is litterally the only studio in industry that makes non trash TV anime. Everything else, no exception, is outsourced garbage of shitty inconsistent quality and no effort.
What enrages the haters though its not just that, but that KyoAni work stand above the rest of the trash in terms of direction, narrative, depth as well.
Its only going to get worse as Chinese influence grows.
Aaron Brown
I've seen 250 shows/movies to completion, probably 50 more that I dropped. Out of those, I would say 10-15 of those were "So good my life would be objectively unhappier had I not seen them" and about 25 were "these were fun, I'm glad I watched them even though they're flawed" and the rest was completely vapid trash I wish I hadn't wasted my life on and wouldn't care if they were wiped from existence.

But Chinese are better at making that "anime" thing than Japanese already. All Japanese "anime" nowadays is cheap outsourced trash.
Anime growing in popularity and already being bigger market in China, than whole of Japan will not affect japanese anime negatively for simple reasons: 1) For stuff Chinese want, they have own studios - already better than many japanese. Those likely to focus on adapting the trillion popular chinese web novels. 2) What China wants from Japan is same thing west wants from Japan - "japanese" anime. It`ll lose appeal if it becomes westernized/chinese, they want it "wapanese". So they currently finance a production of a lot of stuff source of manga/ln/game of which is popular in China - but let Japanese do it entirely: there is no point in getting involved as it`ll lose appeal to own market they try to sell it.
Adrian Fisher
I watched Monster. KyoAni woudnt make a show filled with gruff, iddle aged men though - since they are middle aged waifus themselves and want shows either about: 1) daugtherus 2) Milf self inserts idealizations 3) Cute young boys

>Bones generic Sunrise substudio. Its Sunrise that is glorious, Bones is meh. Its only quality you can expect richer action animation from their shows - but thats ruined by shit budgets and inconsistency, resulting in 1 episode/scene looking great and rest cheap as fuck. If anything, modern MAPPA and WIT fill the "richer animation" niche atm, Bones is pretty much JC Staff.
>shaft >quality Shaft is THE studio with worst production quality in existence barring maybe Nomad. They developed own whole style because they were so incapable and failing production schedules and quality so hard they had to improvise. Too bad, when they actually got money and means to hire more people and freelances, they remained shit - instead of improving their quality, they stuck with what they wrongly though was their strength: the copy paste direction and visual style. No wonder everyone with a bit of talent length ran from Shaft to other studios.

Ryder Torres
Watch upcommign Vinland Saga and cry some shitty japanese studio (WIT) is animating it in horrendous quality and shitty CGI, while it could have been glorious Chinese animation like in video posted
Please abstain from posting about animation ever again. If you watched the clip entirely, theres amazing amount of REALLY splendid animation that not even current anime Movies can live up to, and overall great consistency - something almost none japanese TV anime can be proud of.
One could say the trailer is probably cut of the best moment - but the issue is, modern anime for most shows can't show even that much.
Japanese have talent, but no money. Chinese have all the money now, and their animators went huge path from complete crap to being amazing, though still need experience.
Episode 5 of Mob, the best one this season - is directed and animated in its best scene, by Taiwaneese Chinese, and he`s not even the best - just the one who works in Japan and not mainland China atm.
I don't give a shit how good the animation books if they're just adapting or making generic wuxia #293828. Wuxia is bottom of the barrel trash watched by bored housewives in China.

Just imagine for a moment if something like Lain or Ergo Proxy was animated by KyoAni instead of struggling studios.
I'm neither cultured or distinctly intelligent, anime is just mostly trash. If you really think I'm acting high and mighty for thinking this, then the cultureless pleb is YOU.
Leo Jones
It's because your idea of good isn't based in objective quality, but rather whether it directly fulfills some niche appeal you want that the industry as a whole rarely cares to cater to. It'd be like writing off 99.99% of literature as trash because it isn't some obscure genre that's the only kind of story you like to read. The other thing is, like nearly everyone with this opinion, I am certain you haven't dug very deep at all. Which is understandable when it's hard to work through so much that doesn't appeal to you, but I think that's the core of the issue, that anime itself does not appeal to you.

My advice is to not give shows a chance. I used to give shows the benefit of the doubt but no longer. Not a single one of my favorite shows was bad at first, I never had to bother with the "three episode rule," because I liked them from the beginning. And for the shows I did push through, most I still didn't bother finishing, and those that I did I regret wasting my time on, or at best feel indifferent about.
So I don't bother anymore. If I watch the first episode and am not engaged by the end of it, I drop the show.

Not him but I've just gotten past 800 titles and I'm also almost completely disillusioned with anime. How 'deep' is deep enough, 1k, 4k? There is no answer to this question because you'd be telling people to watch more anime until they agree with you, nevermind that they're quite pissed at anime already.
At least I know what trends made anime so damn impossible to enjoyable for me, unlike you people that apparently have no standards.

Hyouka when aired was trolled by everyone as ZZZZzzz sleep aid anime and mostly ignored by Yea Forums.
Look where it ended - best tv anime of all time and timeless classic that keeps growing in popularity year by year, starting after its BD release.
Additionally, the concept is wrong to begin with - in a LOT of stories adapted from manga/LNs it takes a while till actual main story starts with a lot of introduction in begining, which rarely fits in single or few episodes and you can't skip right to it either. Many shows on other hand build up intrigue from the start so cannnot be judged until its revealed later as well.

Aiden Ramirez
Only half true. I can agree most of popular anime is trash but i would say the same happens on every other medium. Think about movies for example: All capeshit, disney remakes and SW movies are trash. Then think about television, would you say game of thrones is not trash? What about The walking dead? True Detective? new Doctor Who? All trash. How about video games? Dragon Age? Mass effect? Whatever medium you go usually the most popular stuff always eventually turns to trash. You really have to digg a little if you want to find anything worth it and there are not lots of it because since it´s not popular the market is not over saturated... That´s a good thing though. Once something good becomes popular the maket won´t stop milking it till everything special about it dissapears. Take GITS for example, shirow´s manga is not really anything special but Oshii´s movies are (Oshii can make even Patlabor great), then you got SAC o which they try to replicate his style on a lower level and then another show and another and a live action movie and so on. They milked the IP´s name till it meant nothing. Anime is just another medium.

That's because anime is mass media. Most mass media is rubbish, which makes stand-out shows all the rarer because it's so easy for them to fall into a complacent middle ground. It's basically a binomial distribution with very few upper-level outliers.

TAKE A BREAK AND STOP BAITING I was a point where watching anime and playing games felt a bad job I did not like. This was last spring. So I took a long ass break and didn't watch anime for 3 some months. I picked up another hobby and focused on personal and professional development. Then this fall, when Jojo rolled around, I picked anime again and everything was sugoi. Of course, I now watch significantly less each season. >No other medium has such a huge gaping hole in quality. Wow. This just proves to me me how ignorant you are to other forms of media. Come back to me when you have faced the final boss of sound cloud rap and survived. >I wish I had lower standards like most user's here seem to have. Now you're just being pretentious. Don't pretend like anime is high art, nigga. These are ads for other forms of media and merchandise. Now fuck off you blogfag.
