I mean, every decade of anime has been remembered as one of the best eras for TV anime by someone.

thank god this is an anonymous website, otherwise op would get raided by fbi so they could take him in and study how is it possible for one person to have so much shit taste

it's almost like he's doing it on purpose just to get (you)s

nah, why would anyone do that

It's in the top ten, at least.

Keit-ai alone makes this decade worth it.

So what exactly qualifies a show in being on that list?
Animation?
Uchuu Kyoudai was pretty standard TV anime in terms of quality.
Gatchaman looked different but has a lot of CGI.
Story?
Because gridman was abysmal, along with mob psycho. Concret revolution sucked the second half.
Space dandy barely had any plot.
Popularity?
Literally who watched Planet with, Cutie universe, and all those precure in the west?

I unironically believe 10 years from now once all of the shit has been fully forgotten everyone will be calling this a great decade for anime while everyone shits on 2020s anime for the same reasons people shit on shows now.

>So what exactly qualifies a show in being on that list?
I enjoyed it enough for one reason or another.

Your picks for 2019 are pretty bad so far. Both Dororo and Sarazanmai are extremely underwhelming.
Not that the year has been any good so far, but even Kaguya and C&T are definitely better than those.

>has a lot of CGI
That's not necessarily a bad thing.
>gridman was abysmal, along with mob psycho. Concret revolution sucked the second half
Brainlet.
>Space Dandy barely had any plot
It's an episodic comedy show you literal mongoloid.

I'm not crazy about all these shows on OP's list, but your post is stupid.

Sarazanmai has really dropped off for me recently. It's trying to be too serious when the inherent strength of the show is aburdism and absurdist comedy

True, but all you need is a Madoka picture

>Kaguya and C&T
Yes, I love generic romcoms and Disney shows about how cliche pop music will save us from AIs. All anime should be about American Idol and Beyonce!

I hate the Kaguya anime while i really enjoy the manga
Especially the voice actors

If it was so good why are so many of your picks so fucking bad?

I'm not saying that they're amazing or anything, but they are better than a new installment of an old IP that manages to have worse writing than a 60 years old manga, on top of lacking animation and sloppy direction, and a show that is essentially just a showcase of all Ikuhara's weaknesses as a director, multiplied several times in magnitude compared to his other works.

>Story?
>Because gridman was abysmal, along with mob psycho. Concret revolution sucked the second half.
>Space dandy barely had any plot.
Holy yikes.

>manages to have worse writing than a 60 years old manga
AS a longtime fan of both the original manga and anime, I am really enjoying the changes that have been made to the Dororo anime. As far as the animation, it has been very inconsistent, but some episodes have fantastic moments, like last week's fight between Hyakki and Tohomaru. It kind of reminds me of Macross where the budget has obviosuly been stretched over some parts while there are some scenes with really nice animation.
>sloppy direction
Meaningless buzzwords.
>show that is essentially just a showcase of all Ikuhara's weaknesses as a director
He has none.

Am I wrong if I think the pic is fine it OP wasn't trying to bait and is just showing what he likes?

Nyanko Days was the true underrated masterpiece of the decade, closely followed by Bananya.

no, that's what the image is, and he's right even if i disagree with some of his shows we've had a pretty good decade of anime

I reply to this every time asking why certain shows aren't on it, and fuck me I'm gonna do it again.
Why no Revue Starlight? And what did you see in Planet With? I thought it could barely stand on its own with how much it was borrowing from TTGL and Eva (and the series that inspired them by proxy obviously). It's very much the same themes executed in practically the same way. The only thing that stems from it originally I could appreciate were the character designs.

I didn't really like the character interactions and dialogue in Revue Starlight. It put me off from the show early on. Also felt the drama was handled poorly. It was great visually though.
>more TTGL and EVA with cool new designs
>somehow a bad thing

>some episodes have fantastic moments, like last week's fight between Hyakki and Tohomaru
Yes, but it's just not enough when maybe an episode out of 4 manages to have an impressive sequence.
>Meaningless buzzwords.
Do you want examples? That scene in a recent episode where an horse jumped over Hyakkumaru as he slashed aimlessly stuck in my mind because of how awful the storyboarding was. Or that scene where shark boy got off the boat after he revealed his game. And I don't think that I need to go in detail over the Kobayashi episode. Most of the show is sloppy like that, really.
>He has none.
This is ludicrous, and I say it as a fan.

Ikuhara's weaknesses are only more strengths because he utilizes them as part of his meta-narrative. Don't @ me.

>G-Reco
How long will the meme of defending this series continue?

>Nihon Animator Mihonichi

user, isn't that frame from Luluco? What am I missing?

His picks are shit.

>don't @ me
Go back to social media with the rest of the slobbering Ikuni worshipers. The guy is talented, but cultism of that level should be reserved for people like Ryuutarou Nakamura.

>he hasn't seen Sex and Violence with Machspeed

That's Sex & Violence with Machspeed, although I guess there was an episode of Luluco that borrowed the same style.

I didn't dislike it really, I was just left feeling like "I could have, and probably would have preferred to, have just watched (half of) TTGL again instead." I appreciate your responding reasonably.

Isn't there still less than 10 decades for TV anime though?

Very true. You see this happening even for the 2000s, which truly were shit, and where the absolute shit was so popular that it's not forgotten: Twenty-year-olds just glorify their childhood memories.
But, let's be honest: The 2010s aren't bad overall. Not as good as the 90s on average, but better that the 00s or the 1970s. Again, on average. Comparing the standouts is a far more difficult thing to do.

It will be remembered as the decade of isekei.

what are the 00s shows that are glorified now?

>Literally who watched Planet with, Cutie universe, and all those precure in the west?
Cutie Honey Universe and "all those precure" might be among the only things from that list that will be remembered and watched decades from now. Lupin being the other thing. Why? Because they are part of larger franchises and managed to fit in organically. Most other things are standalones that might have had way more "hype" about them, but that rarely matters in the long run.
As for who watched those things: Franchise fans, mainly. Which made all those things way more successful (in Japan and the West) than you might think.

Reminder that no matter what shows get released in the next few seasons, HxH will still be TV anime of the decade.

>what are the 00s shows that are glorified now?
By a certain audience: Naruto, Bleach, One Piece (still running). Those manga adaptations that did well with young teens who then built up lots of nostalgia with them.
They might not hold much value to you or me, but to some younger people, they were their first anime, their daily routine, something they always looked forward to. That influences a generations opinion.

Dude i was watching One Piece when i was young and i'm 31
The 90s shows that are glorified now are not battle shounen anyway

>ITT: Overrated shit
Indeed. Subjectively speaking.
See, the funny thing is, everybody hates OP's list, because it's so damn broad that everybody finds a few (or many) things on it that he really dislikes. But those things seem to be different for everyone. So maybe that list, as strange as it looks, has some value.

I think the 2000s are great. And no, I didn't get into chinese cartoons until 2011.

>everybody finds a few (or many) things on it that he really dislikes
Isn't that the problem? That people look for stuff they don't like over stuff they do like?

It'd only be bait if he was doing it like the one that just posts his opinion and calls it Yea Forums's official AOTY, despite the fact that even as another SoL fan I think his taste is shit.
I'm 10/15 on OP's image and still think it's the best decade and could probably list 100 series that I feel make the decade special.

I wouldn't call it a "problem" per se. When people see lists, they check if they agree. And that means that the things they disagree about stand out negatively in that regard. It's natural to notice that. I immediately noticed a few things I disliked before I even saw that my personal favourite of the decade was on their, plus some other things I enjoyed a lot.
I think if we polled everyone on all those shows, we'd get a good Gaussian bell curve. So the OP might have a point: Everyone will remember some things from this decade very fondly.

Code Gayass, Death Note, FMA, Kaiji, NHK, Black Lagoon, Clannad, Haruhi, etc.

The 2000s were better

This decade has more good shows than last but the best shows of 2000s are on another level.

>The 90s shows that are glorified now are not battle shounen anyway
The 90s were a bit different. They had a different kind of dynamic, anime was harder to come by (on VHS!), the internet was slow and relatively "sparse", with no communities in the modern sense. Yes, nostalgia plays a role for the 90s as well, but we selected our "favourite shows" with more personal investment and made sure they were great, even though our selection was limited by circumstance.
But the 90s also were the peak of an animation technique ("analogue" cel animation), whearas the 2000s took baby-steps in digintal animation at first (like the 50s, 60s and to some extend the 70s did for cels). That alone led to a drop in production value and visual quality at first.

Anyway, I'm not telling you what to like, and I'm not saying the 2000s can only be enjoyed through rose-tinted glasses. Just the my impression is that they often are.

>I think the 2000s are great.
Well, I can only tell you the same thing: That's great for you, individually. In my experience, most often nostalgia is heavily involved. But, yes, I myself would also say that there are great things in the 2000s, especially the very early ones (that didn't go that much into digital animation). Princess Tutu comes to mind.

Can't you put the Trigger shows on their own chart?

Not haveing the best anime of all time jojo for shame.

With the exception of Code Geass (I don't like mech anime anyway) all other are watchable
Death Note (26) and Kaiji are a mustwatch
NHK is good as a standalone anime, it just suck if you have read the novel
Clannad and Haruhi are emotionporn like the garbage we get today ( I want to eat your pancreas and shit)
FMA and Black Lagoon are decent
So i don't see a problem

>So i don't see a problem
I don't either. I don't think the 2000s were a particularly atrocious decade or anything like that other user.

The 2010s have a lot of things over it. A bigger, wealthier industry is the main advantage, which means more shows. On average, then, there are going to be more good shows (though everybody's got their own opinion). But the 2010s also had way more ONAs, short series, and didn't suffer from transitioning production methods (digipaint making everything look like ass in the early 00s). The 2000s had better theatrical releases on average, though the last few years of the 10s have been pretty good on that front, as well. When we get to 2040 or something, I think the 2000s will be remembered as a low period in anime history. The 2020s are likely to be remembered that way too, given how much 3DCG shit is going to invade the industry during the next decade.

>given how much 3DCG shit is going to invade the industry
That's an interesting point, because the 2000s also saw an initial rise in CG effects. In the early stages of digital animation, it felt as if they overdid it, just like right now, inserting 3D models is a trend that will likely get out of hand at one point before they reduce it again (and before the technology advances enough to not stand out too much anymore).

Yeah people love to shit on the 2000s but there were a ton of good shows and show with interesting concepts.

For me 2005-2015 was the best decade.

Okay. Can you elaboirate what made those years stand out for you?

Simple, best shows came out between these 10 years and I feel like quality of anime dropped around 2015, like they're still good shows and even sometimes great ones but the good/bad shows ratio is lower than before.

Hugtto Precure is a huge mess of a season and I wouldn't include it on a list of "best of" from the decade.

Yes, I figured that that was your thought process. My question was directed more at which anime from that timeframe made you feel like that. Because, frankly, for me it's the exact way around, where I felt a distinct drop in quality around 2004/2005 and a rise around 2014/2015. That's why I'd be interested in hearing whether we just reacted differently to the same things or whether we looked at different things altogether.

When do you have started watching anime ?

Somewhere around 1995/1996. In a concious manner, that is. I do remember watching things like Maya the Bee as a child, maybe even toddler, in the late 80s, but without knowing that those children's series were anime. The first anime I invested in was a horrible German dub of Sailor Moon. And, as horrible as it was in hindsight, it was also great. 90s anime and having to search the then very decentralized internet for information on them are some of my most treasured memories of my early teen years. In the 2000s, when it became easier to find stuff online and torrents became a thing, I started to look for both the newer and some older things. And I found the 70s and 80s more intriguing than the 00s. I prefered their style, their boldness and their "dirt". New things were too clean and too streamlined for me.

I remember that I did watch a few Naruto episodes in what must have been 2004 after having already read the corresponding manga chapters, and found them bland, as they added nothing of value. So I dropped the anime long before the manga also became too ... uninventive for me. And many other things of that time didn't fare any better in my estimation. Death Note comes to mind.

There was the odd thing that I did like every now and then. I liked Anno's Re: Cutie Honey well enough, already having been a fan of the franchise from 1994's Shin CH and 1997's CH Flash, as well as the original 70s anime (but not yet the manga, I think). But I still enjoyed it less then all of those.

The 2000s, as a whole, felt relatively stale to me, as if they tried to recapture better times from the past instead of moving on. As if they tried their hand at already proven forumlas instead of doing new things.
And, funnily enough, it was things that aren't even that good, objectively speaking, that gave me hope in the mid-2010s. Stuff like Cross Ange, that at least took risks. And things really got better in that regard.

Indeed ep 8 of Luluco if I'm not mistaken, thanks kind anons.

Fixed.

You're likely some of those cretins who genuinely believe for Happy Sugar Life to not have been the most well directed show of 2018.

Not everybody likes the same things.

>It's so cringy desu
He was trying very hard to be the most obnoxious person in the thread and you just had to take that from him.

>Kill la Kill at #1
Nah. Wind Rises was a masterpiece, though, so good taste there. I feel like it'll be remembered as one of the best biopics of all time down the line.

I think the worst thing about it is that he took out Lupin Part 5. I mean, it's a great addition to a classic franchise - of which he left another thing in.
But, yeah, while I'm personally not a big fan of Madoka, I can see why you argue that it should be there.

His additions aren't much to talk home about either. What's left on there is very much "flashy effects", "style over substance", comedy and over the top pretentiousness.

Go work on your movie instead of shitposting on Yea Forums, Hayao. You'll never beat Shinkai like that. Wind Rises doesn't even make top 5, Ghibli shill, and Penguin Highway should be in a top 10.

You obviously lack the cultural awareness to correctly place "boomer" generations in either your own culture or a culture foreign to you.
Anyway, I don't think my "biography" is that special on Yea Forums, though it becomes rarer as more and more kiddies born in this millenium come here.

Anyway, your turn. After all, I asked you first. What was your experience around that time that made you like it so much?

>You obviously lack the cultural awareness to correctly place "boomer" generations in either your own culture or a culture foreign to you.
It's a meme you dip. Yep, you clearly wandered here on your way to the SS retirement home.

I feel like this decade there was a push towards adapting Light Novels into anime series, rather than always just adapting Manga series. This is a good thing IMO because manga-to-anime adaptions are usually very uncreative, they just adapt the manga page-by-page. A LN-to-anime adaption means the anime director has more artistic freedom, which usually results in a better anime series (if the director is any good).

This is completely incorrect. It actually goes:
>00s
>70s
>10s
>90s
>80s

That would be good in theory, but in practice they are mostly shit because of the lower writing standards in LNs compared to manga.

I think I can agree with that order. With the 80s and 10s close to one another in quality.
I'm not sure where exactly to put the 60s, as my experience with them is somewhat lacking, but I thing approximately at the same level as the 70s, with the same weaknesses.

>It's a meme you dip.
It's a stupid meme.
Now, do you care answering my original question? In case you're the same user.

>television
00s
10s
90s
80s

reasoning: 70s barely had any shows, so it's retarded to even list them. 80s were terrible on all fronts, not a single worthwhile show. 90s had higher highs than the 10s, but still less good shows in total and that's the only thing that matters, especially in the animation department. Percentages are irrelevant.

>film
80s = 00s
10s
90s
70s

reasoning: 80s and 00s were creative in the film department and had people experiment a lot. 10s explored a lot of different angles again (muh sci-fi - Harmony was better than any sci-fi 80 or 90s OVA ever released). 90s were primarily about established franchises and a lot of adaptations. While not bad by any means, it was too limited in regards to variety. 70s barely have any variety so to speak of, an while Toei films can be fun, most are downright bad.

Haruhi is one of the biggest piece of shit shows to ever air and watching 8 back to back episodes of the same exact fucking thing is praised.

>still less good shows in total and that's the only thing that matters
>Percentages are irrelevant.
Why would you care about quantities either way? Isn't it more about quality as a whole?
Also, if absolute numbers always win over percentages, that's an unfair advantage for the more recent eras as they simply had more studios and were able to inverst more money.

And, by the, I'd be very interested in why you rate the 2000s so highly, as that other user doesn't seem to want to answer me. It's a sincere curiosity on my part, just to see where we differ.

>Nah
Yah
What is there to explain? It was already a fascinating concept as an ONA, and it was wonderfully expanded upon in the TV special, with a great script rich of subtext, masterful direction, fantastic art and designs and some great animation. What didn't you like about it?
>Miyazaki
>liking anything other than his own films and some anime that made his dick hard as a kid
Nah.

>Why would you care about quantities either way? Isn't it more about quality as a whole?
Nobody gives a rats ass about bad shows or movies. What people will remember are the standout works. So if someone gives you a list of standout works, and 30% of them are from a specific decade, then it doesn't matter that the decade also had more shit than all others combined. You don't watch percentages. You watch individual entries.

>why you rate the 2000s so highly
Revolutionary movies that pushed the medium forward more than anything during the 90s (Studio 4Cs output, Kon's films, Kawamoto's best stop motion film, Miyazaki at least trying to leave his comfortzone with Ponyo and never doing it ever since) paired with exceptionally crafted and thematically coherent television shows. Shitloads of passion and experimental projects such as Monoke, Fuujin Monogatari, Kaiba or Brigadoon, ABe adaptations, Ohira starting to explore his own animation style more indepth, Dennou Coil setting a new standard for television animation that has yet to be surpassed, Nahoko Uehashi adaptations and, of course, the most well written television anime ever made.

If it wasn't for the hardlocked resolution I'd have to add a powergap. 00s were a complete gamechanger for television animation. Cheapness of digital animation allowed people to do whatever and take actual risks for quite some time.

>I feel like it'll be remembered as one of the best biopics of all time down the line.
Maybe if you consider it a Miyazaki biopic.

>with a great script rich of subtext
Can you elaborate? The rest I can understand (as your opinion), though I don't know about going so far as to label the handful of decent cuts "great animation," especially with the PS3-tier CGI also dominating it. It was about what you can find from anything that isn't produced on pennies from this decade.

Thanks, user. That's definitely an interesting viewpoint, and an approach entirely different from mine.
I tend to mostly look not at the standout things, but at the decades (or cerain "timeframes" that don't necessarily match the decades exactly) on their own. And for the 2000s, I immediately think of the huge amount of cheap throwaway TV series (popular manga adaptations, mostly).

But you are right that some directors went very experimental and that that has its merits. But I aloso feel that narrative and meaning had to tak a backseat to style and effect in that era. Which is, again, something that I'm personally (subjectively) not too happy with.

Thanks for the elaboration, user!

Now that the dust has settled, what was the best anime of the 20th century?

I think it was Miyazaki's master piece Princess Mononoke

Patlabor 2

Astroboy

Personally, I'd go for the whole Sailor Moon series.
But asking that question in an objective sense is no use: You'll never get anthing resembling a majority opinion on a "best" anime of any timespan. That's why AOTY threads are ultimately shit and full of children with a rather limited perspective.

No, this is easily the worst decade since the 70s.

>and, of course, the most well written television anime ever made
Shin Mazinger?

>But I aloso feel that narrative and meaning had to tak a backseat to style
Personally, I don't see how. The 80s had absolutely atrocious writing. VOTOMs is deus ex machina - the show, SDF Macross is Nagi no Asuka but even worse, Dougram is 50 episodes too long and so on. The 90s weren't much better. Escaflowne had a rushed ending, NGE just stumbled around in the dark not knowing what to do with it's plot elements because Anno was busy using the show as a therapy session, Nadia had filler arcs so bad they destroy the entire experience, off model animation and QUALITY accross the board and most other shows were appalling shonen/seinen adaptations like Initial D or off-model fest Berserk.

Meanwhile the 00s had Tex, which was more focused and better executed than Lain, Rahxephon, which, contrary to NGE, was assembled in a lab and actually focused on the narrative portion, Erin is Akage no Anne done right and actually deserves (almost all of) its 50 episodes, Mononoke, Paranoia Agent and Mushishi were the most thematically coherent episodic shows in television anime history, Gankutsuou was an ambitious adaptation of a classic novel and did a good enough job adapting it. Hell, even Fantastic Children is more thoroughly constructed and densely plotted than any television show from the pre-2000s. As far as television is concerned, the digital era has been running circles around the cel era for a long, long time.

And I didn't even bother to list shows that go from great to meh, with meh still being better than what was available during the 80s and 90s, such as Kaiba, E7, Seikai no Senki, Tutu, Kemonozume etc.

SEED Destiny, duh.

>Space Dandy barely had any plot
This user is trolling right? user does realize Space Dandy was done in the vein of episodic Sunday morning cartoon adventures, right? Surely user can't be THIS stupid.

>SEED Destiny
Real answer?

literally
>I hate anime but these ones are actually good
the chart

It's Enokido's most accomplished story about mortality, which has always been the central theme of all his work. For doing so he strips away his writing of the magical realism and of the adolescent coat of paint, to go back to the roots, to Miyazawa (as evident from the Utena/Galactic Railroad cross-reference) and the Buddhist philosophy that was the spiritual background of his life and work in the first place.
>It was about what you can find from anything that isn't produced on pennies from this decade.
I wish dime a dozen seasonal shows had animation by Ohira and Okiura.

>Yea Forums hyped megalo box up
>it was shit
at least mahoujin guruguru was fun

Fair enough. It did absolutely nothing for me. Big fan of everything else on your list though, at least.
I think the magical realism was still a somewhat important element though, unless your claim is that it was just straight up fantasy instead.

Well, I guess we must agree to disagree, as I see it very much the other way around for most of your example, where the 00s played it relatively save when it came to the writing itself and has less effective buildup and release of narrative tension.

I do agree with you on the weeknesses many pre-2000 things had (I wouldn't necessarily draw the line in the year 2000, by the way. Something like Princess Tutu, which you cited, still feels very much like a 90s show). But it's not as if those thing you named from the 2000s were all perfect in those regards either.
I think for me it comes down to whether those narratively/thematically coherent things, like Mushishi or Mononoke, had anything new to offer for their themes. And I don't think they really did.
In fact, I don't rate those two, Paranoia Agent or RahXephon very highly. They certainly are not bad anime, but they aren't that groundbreaking either.

I think that the fantastical elements are too integral and grounded in the setting for it to be considered magical realism. There is a significant difference between it and for example Utena, where the fantastical elements are conspicuous and at odds with the rest, and yet are never questioned by the characters. I'd probably consider it fantasy/historical, but the definition of magical realism is kind of blurred in the first place so I wouldn't argue too much about it.
But not even this scene did anything for you? One of the most powerful of the decade, IMO:

Nope. Didn't care for the main guy, or any of the characters really.

I'm really confused as to why OP included so much trash, but left a few genuinely good series there. Why not go full tilt and include more shit like SAO, SNK, OPM and BnHA? At the same time, you're missing lots of popular greats, such as:
DRRR
Katanagatari
Working
Angel Beats
Oreimo
Kaminomi
Ika Musume
Milky Holmes
Steins;Gate
Fate/Zero
Dog Days
Yuru Yuri
Dantalion no Shoka

Flying Witch
New Game
Maidragon
Youjo Senki
Kemono Friends
Eromanga Sensei
Made in Abyss
Yorimoi
Yuru Camp
Hakumei to Mikochi
Hataraku Saibou
and so on. The list is not even including some of my personal favourites.

Most of those are even worse than OP's picks.

Replace Sarazanmai with Kaguya-sama and we have a deal.

GOD I feel old.

That why you do it the way I did. You have a normal and healthy sex life until your mid-20s and start watching anime afterwards. That way noone can tell you to be an incel, you aren't a sheltered teen for life, and can enjoy anime to its fullest. Once you graduate highschool it's pretty hard to get rid of that virginity, I've been told.

You could have better hidden the fact that you're a troll geez.

Its the worst Ikuhara series, it doesn't deserve to be there

I have to be honest, that list isn't half bad. It has Mahoujin Guru Guru, PreCure and even the extremely underrated Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. That's a top tier list if I ever seen one.

Tsk tsk. I can't believe you still haven't seen Milky Holmes or Tiger Mask W.

Kill yourself.

Only Heartcatch belongs there, the rest of the Precure franchise is bland tripe for little girls and lolicons.

This.

Right of Left and Heaven and Earth were good.

anime is always good

What?

>Heartcasuals

It's not my fault that the rest sucks.
But seriously, HC is carried by the amazing art direction and expressive character animation. Without those, the other series are just a total bore.

The best-selling anime does not necessarily mean good anime.
But the poorly sold anime represents this must be a bad anime.

That's a weird way of spelling "worst"

It should be asked, why is the so-called good anime sales so bad, why is the so-called good anime audience so few?

After you watched this movie and even regretted buying a movie ticket, would this be a good movie?

Unironically kill yourself.
