Today is the last day of the Heisei era

K-ON!

I'd consider Lain to be pretty definitive of the 90s.

I miss the Showa era.

I look at this pic and see a slow and then very fast drop in quality as the years go by.

Probably Evangelion. Started an era of scared, depressed protagonists who occasionally man up or fuck everything up. Before that, you just had perfect men wrecking shit with GUTS.

Heisei was also the era when things got really cute, to an exploitative extent as well. The eyes got bigger as the girls got cuter until they went too far and scaled it back. They found a happy medium and moe anime was born. That said, I'm not sure which anime would best represent this aspect of the era. K-on? Card Captor Sakura? Super Gals?

Also, didn't idol culture really kick into gear during Heisei? Certainly it's influence on a load of anime was to encourage a "scattershot" approach to characters by making as many as possible for a series working on the promise that they'll be someone who appeals to anyone.

Incidentally, I was in Japan recently and got myself a copy of that Heisei Tribute book. I would recommend it, it's incredible seeing so many characters from wildly different series on the same page. It's like Smash Bros, but for anime and a book.

I would say the top five are (in no particular order)
>Evangelion - Defining multiple character archetypes as well as becoming one of the largest anime franchises ever.
>Pokemon - One of the largest franchises and incredibly important to bringing anime to the West.
>Cowboy Bebop - Fundamental to bringing anime to the west, an important market expansion which encouraged further development into Western (i.e. us) audiences.
>Lucky Star/K-On - Defining the "Moe" genre and are massively important to the "Cute Girls doing Cute Things" format of shows we see today. (Lumped together as they both fulfill the same niche.)
>Dragonball - THE show that made the shonen genre work and encourages its development for years to come, many shows can lend its roots back to Dragonball and the industry is arguably healthier for it.

Arguments for Cowboy Bepob are justified, as I am writing this as a burger. However, these shows set the foundation (and possible ruin) of the current anime industry.

Wrong. The 90's and 2000's have all been about being stuck in the slump between a great past and a promising future. The only thing everyone agrees on is that the present day sucks, and modern media is good at capturing this desire to escape.

Azumanga Daioh was a slice of life comedy with cute girls and Yomi, not moe bait shit. Azumanga can't compare to the impact that Lucky Star had on the industry even if it shares some of the concepts.

I feel like the most important thing that occurred in anime industry is switch to digital animation. So any anime series where that switch is visible is somewhat relevant to defining the era (like Detective Conan, You're Under Arrest (surprisingly, I think it was last buddy cop show with chicks?), One Piece, Gundam (from Turn A to Seed)).

I think switch to digital is somehow related to how most anime these days are 1 or 2 cours, now it's not very normal for shows to get 50+ episodes. And with that much quantity of anime the one thing I think I remember people who were into anime 15 years ago were most interested in is anime that feels mature, that animation can be for adults too. I mean, we wanted anime to be taken seriously so desperately we thought Elfen Lied was good and smart. So, I think switch to digital and producers greenlighting 1-cour shows are related because they could start go for more riskier anime, because 50 episode anime was a far bigger commitment.

So, taking all these things into account, switching to digital and audience that wanted anime to be taken seriously, I think anime like Lain, Ghost in the Shell, Wolf's Rain, and yes, even Elfen Lied, those riskier and edgier anime they define late 90's and early 00's and anime 10 years before them like EVA and Gundam, they paved the way for more serious and mature anime, that anime can talk (even poorly) about mature themes, and subsequent years started to expand on digital animation and 1-2 cour shows became the norm.

Does the new Reiwa era name really mean, "to command peace"?

ebin

no
But similarly enough, it probably means "peace under order" as in legislative such.

>Nothing really feels like it represents the 90s and 2000s in a satisfying or authentic manner.
NHK says hi.

It can have two possible meanings depending on your interpretation of the first character.

令 "rei" in classical Chinese was used as a causative auxiliary verb meaning "to order, to command," and when interpreted in this way the native Japanese 書き下ろし文 of the name 令和 "reiwa" is 和らがしむ, "to cause to become peaceful/slacken" with the implication of "to order to be peaceful." This is the interpretation a lot of people seem to have jumped to first.

But when you look at the context the name was taken from, the character 令 is being used in the word 令月 as an adjective, where the meaning of "to order" comes to be associated with power and high status and therefore nobility and goodness. In that case the reading of the name 令和 becomes 令(よ)い和(ワ) "a good peace," or "a fine, auspicious peace." This would be the more logical interpretation given the source.
,

Golden Boy, Welcome to the NHK, and countless contemporary romcoms/slice of lifes capture the era pretty well dumbass.

Nothing weird about it. Before Meji the era changed whenever the emperor felt like it.

Wasn't there like a practice where you were only an Emperor for like handful of years and then you'd retire?

it will be soon 40

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with Cowboy Bebop. It's sheer popularity means that there's bound to be tons of redditors liking it, and that trigger the contrarianism of Yea Forums.

Kodomo no Jikan? Because moot made Yea Forums to post lolis after being banned from SA forums for trying to discuss it.

As I said before in this thread, the Narutard era

Probably Eva for the 90s for creating all those Shinji Ikari protags
Haruhi for the 00s for insipiring all those magical high school club series
SAO for the 10s for bringing Isekai into prominence
I guess there are other important phenomenons like CGDCT and magical school battle harems but these 3 win as of now
And considering Eva has been in a coma for 7 years, Haruhi is just dead SAO wins by default
So SAO is the most important anime of the last 30 years

Then you can go ahead and mention DB as well.

But DB is older, it's from 1986

Well shit, that's true.

DBZ started in 1989 so it sort-of counts, especially since most people don't care about the pre-Saiyan saga stuff.

But Z is a sequel, it's not it's own thing, furthermore based on a manga that was also older

Here's the short version
when the Azumanga manga came out it got popular with the west online and people started talking about it on SA.
Goons started getting upset that people were talking about anime and manga too much.
they made a containment thread but they were still upset that it was being talked about so much.
it got a lot of people into watching other anime and reading other manga, usual 2002-era forum drama bullshit.
The manga/anime fans tried migrating to 2chan at the time but it didn't last long
Korean shitposters (2chan's version of Australians/Canadians) were shitting up 2chan at the time so they started blocking all foreign IPs from posting
Moot set up a message board server and all the anime fans migrated to his new message board to talk about anime.
Because they'd most recently come from 2chan he decided to call it Yea Forums, reason being "because we're twice as cool!"

there's more detail but that's the quick rundown

Why are they wrong then?

I still cant believe they picked "Civil Obedience" as the kanji for the next 30 or 40 something years

What's the point of the emperor anyway?

Reiwa.
Basically means Even the general Japanese population are slightly annoyed about the choice of name/kanji because it kind of has the same ring to it that the WW2 "Showa" era did.
But Japanese being Japanese they'll complain midly about something before quickly saying ”まあ、省がないねんなぁ” and getting on with their lives without doing anything about it.

Do you mean "Besides Evangelion"? Because no other anime of the Heisei era comes close in terms of impact (except for maybe Oshii's Ghost in the Shell in 1995). Akira came out in 1988 so that makes it from the Showa era.

Come to think of it, I have never read any manga or seen any anime where Emperor Akihito was even mentioned, much less shown up. If all you knew about Japan was from Anime and Manga, you'd probably not even know that they still have a monarchy.

i lived there for 12 years right up until last month and can tell you that it's either going to be one of the Big Three or something like Haruhi/Lucky Star, depending on which fanbase you want to appeal to. Hardcore otaku or the casualfags that made the majority.

Yeah if they meant to lose on purpose lmao

When I learned how many books Kadonoverse has and that most of them will never be translated, I wished I had never started reading Boogie.

>If all you knew about Japan was from Anime and Manga, you'd probably not even know that they still have a monarchy.
I guess it's a sort of taboo to include the current emperor.
Slightly related but it's funny how many people are unaware of the number of monarchies in Europe too. The Benelux states, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain, etc. I've seen a lot of surprised faces when some royal marriage gets a headline and people learn about them.

Probably unironically Dragonball
Maybe even Akira
I would say Evangelion but that would probably mean I'm some sort of elitist snob
If I were talking about something more recent I'd go with Haruhi Suzumiya

(checked)
K-On! is shounen while Card Captor Sakura is shoujo though, so I wouldn't really compare the two
I get what you're saying, though
However, before there was K-On!, there was Lucky Star, Azumanga Daioh, Paniponi Dash!, etc.

I wasn't just talking about including, I was talking about even MENTIONING. If you actually watch/read media from the countries you mentioned, the current monarch will be mentioned every so often even if he doesn't physically show up. British movies and TV shows mention the Queen all the time, and she'll occasionally show up with the actress' face hidden.
Akihito is never mentioned in Anime or Manga, the fact that Japan even has a current living Emperor is just plain never brought up. I've sometimes seen Hirohito mentioned in stories set during WWII, but that's it.

>I wasn't just talking about including, I was talking about even MENTIONING.
That's what I meant too, just worded it poorly.

I was born in Showa but didn't really experience much of it so I'm basically just Heisei

I remember it as the "russkies go home!" era. It was weird when they actually did.

>How is the new era called?

Era of the Whopper
Era of the Tucks Medicated Pad
Era of the Trial-Size Dove Bar
Era of the Perdue Wonderchicken
Era of the Whisper-Quiet Maytag Dishmaster
Era of the Yushityu 2007 Mimetic-Resolution-Cartridge-View-Motherboard-Easy-To-Install-Upgrade For Infernatron/InterLace TP Systems For Home, Office Or Mobile (sic)
Era of Dairy Products from the American Heartland
Era of the Depend Adult Undergarment
Era of Glad

One of Kumeta's works is where I'm thinking it's most likely he'd be mentioned/alluded to, sadly I can't recall a specific example

Sazae-san was the picture of a more liberal woman in the 70s

Values change

Isn't that because the Japanese Emperor is also the head of the Shinto religion. So it's the same as western media never mentioning the pope rather than the queen

What are you talking about? The Pope does get mentioned in Western media every so often.

youtube.com/watch?v=srSlmu1fmSk
I wish sad Japanese ballades were still being made

The pope does pop up in novels or movies though and I don't mean ex-popes. For example John Paul II was played by actors while in papacy in multiple movies. Books are even more liberal in including the pope.
The lack of artistic depiction of Muhammad would be closer.

I've never seen the current pope represented in animation at least

who cares

Thats because hes not based Karol

Cardcaptor Sakura. It was what brought moe as a concept into prominence. In 20 years out of 30 years of Heisei, anime are defined by how well they are balancing the moe with the story.

Agreed. You need to have a spark, a drive among the people for that to happen, and a litmus test of the sort of drive you'd need is fertility.
Now if the Japanese start having 4+ children per family, watch out, because the Rising Sun is back. But if not, well, half the women and a third of the men have no interest in sexual relations, and take refuge in pornography and masturbation instead.
The Japanese spirit will wither and die just like its aging, dying population. The West will follow shortly thereafter

I'm pretty sure Pedroes (Filipinos) and Ahmets (Indons) will keep Japan from running out of people.

Well those with conservative views need to pack cultural and intellectual centers. Can't speak for Europe, but in America, the conservatives abandoned academia, education, and culture, and went straight to politics. The left de facto took over, meaning children raised in the U.S. are fed a steady diet of leftist tropes in music, movies, television, and education, starting in middle school and continuing through college.
The results speak for themselves.

>in America, the conservatives abandoned academia, education, and culture
It's almost as if anti-intellectualism is a grand tradition of the American right, or something.

Japan has higher birth rates than many Western countries while being a tiny overpopulated island. And those who do have higher rates have them because of immigrants having more children than natives.

in some countries it's illegal to even mention the monarch like that.
a comedian in the UK got arrested and banned from performing because he made a joke about the Queen's cunt.
also the King of Thailand banned Youtube for a couple of years because someone posted a video mocking him or something.

Which is practically dead, given that there are hardly any practicing Christians in England anymore. I think there's more active adherents of Shinto in Japan then there are Christians in England.

Really rare for Yea Forums

This is the only post for Death Note?

I think you're all wearing your rose colored glasses and picking your favorite anime.
Death Note had amazing story, artwork, and cultural impact. It made its way to the US and every pleb knows it. It's had movies, animations, adaptations, etc. It wasn't something spread so thin like Naruto Bleach, DBZ, OP, etc. You can't really say that about Evangelion, and Evangelion couldn't break the barrier to make sense to the masses like DN.

Now I know somethings wrong with Yea Forums. This is just a recommended reading thread.

You know what's the big diference? Shinji's pasiveness and social awkwardness isn't rewarded with the entire universe, especially underage girls, sucking his cock for being "nice" and he's a character rather than a bland self-insert without characteristics like being "nice", "plain" and "just a regular high school student". Eva made such a huge impact in the 90s because the lost decade. It couldn't be repeated, see the rebuild movies. It was a thing from its time.
