Why isn't serious anime made anymore?

Why isn't serious anime made anymore?

It's all self-referential pandering and fanservice bullshit now. No real storytelling.

EZ money

Go make one, then.

If you want serious stories, why don't you just read manga?

Think it was the economic recession. Things were picking up in the 90's a little, with Bebop coming out in 1998, then things went to shit and stayed relatively shitty.

Often when economics and general outlooks go into serious negative area you start getting more silliness in the entertainment, lot more comedies. Stuff like the Legally Blonde movies and so on.

Like 90% is generic trash but there's still some good ones. I know it's technically a remake but dororo is an ongoing example

>implying cowboys in space was serious anime
it was laurel and hardy levels of dumb and dumber, holy shit

It was zany and Edgy but its setting was treated with sincerity and taken seriously by the author

A Zoomer like you who's born in the post Irony age would never understand something like that

Wanting anime to be deep and serious is the cringiest thing ever. Anime should be fun, witty and imaginative at best. The worst thing about Yea Forums is people started with NGE and think they're super smart and demand all shows try to be abstract shit.

Ahhhh now cowboy bepop was a real anime.
