What is anime of the decade?
I think it needs to have a balance between quality and popularity if we'll ever come close to agreeing on something.

AOTD 90s is obviously, undeniably, Neon Genesis Evangelion. For the 00s, it's maybe a bit less clear, but a clear candidate is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

What would fulfill the conditions of the 2010s? Personally I may be leaning to Madoka, but I'm not certain.

Moe shitters need to fuck off, this boring shit where nothing happens does not count.

Space Dandy baby

This cool new anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion hit Netflix the other day and is taking 2019 by storm, I think it's gonna be my AOTD.

It didn't do well but it is Dandy, it's being to be redirected by history when people finally get it

If your answer isn't the entirety of the Jojo anime adaptation you need to review your life

Hunter X Hunter, Attack on Titan, Medoka, Sword art online,, Mob psycho 100, Violet Evergarden, Franxx, Ping Pong, Devilman Crybaby, Tatami Galaxy
One of these.

Sword Art Online

Also Jojo and One Punch Man

Rick and Morty of anime

My pick for best mongolian carpet escapism about not escapism.

I don't know user, seems a bit bluepilled for me. Especially with the main character voiced by a tranny.

But it was shit, horrible characters, nonsesical plot, horrible direction.
The only thign it had going for it was the animation , only an easily impresionable autistic child would consider this a good anime.

It's my pick for making me feel something and that's final.
Go be a triggered snowflake someplace else, shoo.

TV: The IM@S 2011
FILM: Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni

Not a debate. Television show that changed the anime landscape and promoted dozens of franchise to enter the market. Was the first idolcentered anime to ever sell more than like 5k discs per volume (sold 30k instead). Also easily top 5 most well animated television show of the decade and unlike something like Dandy, IM@S is actually consistent instead of depending on the episode director in charge. Katasumi is not only the by far best film of the decade, it's also the most critically acclaimed piece of anime ever made, winning prestiguous live action awards for best directing and best feature film no other piece of animation had ever even been close to winning before (Kinema Junpo, Blue Ribbon, Ōfuji Noburō award).

>muh Yea Forums memes from a decade ago
Fuck off retard, your old memes are SHIT.

For me it's K-On, followed by Kaze Tachinu.

Madoka was the best anime no doubt, but I hate when my favorite anime get attention, so I vote Sword Art Online to reflect the steep decline in quality of this board.

Why are you so triggered mate?

Just look at how many isekai anime with video game mechanics were released after SAO, it was clearly the most influential.

Only Ping Pong and Tatami Galaxy are great from that list, others are shounengarbage. Tatami Galaxy probably is AoTD.

Why, Punch Line of course.

We're not discussing the most influential anime of the decade, are we?

You're forgetting all of the magic high-school anime that were the thing not too long ago.
So Harry Potter is the most influential anime.

It should be a criteria for AOTD.

Shakugan no Shana final.

You know very well that nobody thinks of it like that

Doesn't count unless it entirelly aired in the decade, also shit taste.
K-on doesn't count either

end your life

That logic is pretty stupid considering 99% of the years of the 20th century were all 19XX

Decades are just an arbitrary boundary that don't hold any actual meaning.

21st century started in 2001 and the 00s decade started in 2000, what's so hard for you niggers to understand?

If anything, arguing centuries proves the point. You also call it the first century, despite it progressing from 0.01 to 0.99 years to make it what you call it.

Haganai

So are centuries and millenia. In fact what the fuck is time anyways?
How do we even defy time? Seems pretty stupid to me how the universe started 14 billion years ago, like what even was before that? Can time even exist in void? Pretty weird how out of the 14 billion years we are alive as we speak, a mere speck of dust in the grand scheme and we waste that time arguing abotu chinese cartoons.
Do you guys think time is a circle? Have we repeated the same action an infinite times before and are all our actions predetermined?

What comes to mind for me, in no ranked order:
>K-On
>Tamako Love Story
>Koe no Katachi
>Liz to Aoi Tori
>The Wind Rises
>Kaguya-hime
>Tatami Galaxy
>Ping Pong
>Space Dandy
>Redline

See

Then it makes no fucking sense, you either start counting from 1 and end at 10 or start at 0 and end at 9, a decade is 10 years, make up your fucking mind.

Its arbitrary but it has a meaning, 10 years, so you either count year 0 or not, and that is what defines the start of the first decade, 10 fucking years.

That makes no sense if you consider the first decade, when does that one start, at 0 or 1?

Its the 20th century because its starts counting from 1 (1901) to 10 (2000), just like the first century is 1 (0001) to 10 (0100). You can have this decade end is 2019, but then YOU NEED to start counting at year 0, aka, the first year, to year 9, aka the 10th year.

Ultimately it's not a real award so I'll choose to think of it in the way which makes most sense to me

Madoka probably.

According to Anikore it's one of the following:

Monogatari
Disappearance
Violet Evergarden
Sora Yori
Your Lie in April
KonoSuba
Shirobako
Made in Abyss

OP didn't say "best of the decade"; he said "anime of the decade". That can mean anything from best-seller to most influential to most popular...with critics.

Im just saying this makes no sense if you really think about it. Looking a bit into it
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade
It seems im right as the gregorian calendar doesnt have a 0, and everyone in this thread is going with the "popular culture" system.

I dont go to /pol/

>I dont go to /pol/
Guess there are plenty of retards with the same shitty arguments then.

Just because the pixurs aren't purdy enough doesn't mean it's not good, snowflake.

Honestly this. You all know it's true but you can't stand the thought of something being semi-popular being good at all. It's a fucking masterpeice.

I'd say Mob Psycho, folllowed closely by HXH and 3-Garsu no Lion.

That's exactly what it means in visual mediums that rely on said visual to tell stories.

Only one true answer.

>I'd say capeshit followed by shounenshit followed by tonally deaf cringeshit
Yep, seems about right. They really are similar.

How the fuck is Mob Psycho capeshit you retard?

>Tonally deaf
Yes, yes you are.

I think theres quite a few, Fate/Zero, Steins;Gate, JoJo, Mob Psycho and Madoka are ones I think we can all agree on as top contenders.

Weird how there are so few mentions of VEG, i guess the VEGschizo is asleep.

Why don't you make a recommendation then you dumbfuck?

And while it's probably my favorite running manga, the anime is a severe downgrade.

S;G, Haruhi film, Madoka, Fate/Zero, Usagi Drop, AnoHana, Sakamichi no Apollon, and some others.

Those are all good candidates, in my opinion.

Recently, we didn't have that many. We had a few good shows like Yuru Camp, Yama no Susume, Non Non Biyori, Antartica, Kimi no Na Wa, Koe no Katachi and such, but I don't feel they deserve this title.

Considering it all, I'm pretty sure that my vote is for 3-Gatsu no Lion.

"I'm such a Nerd" - the anime

Stein's gate panders hard to the half-wit masses idea of being a nerd, giving it a pass. Okabe barely has any character beyond "HAHAHA Look at me I'm a giant attention whore but it's ok cause I'm QUIRKY xD" and what little is there is just I need to save my retard waifu written so sloppily it makes Maeda look like Hemingway. All the other characters are just JRPG /q/uest givers and have almost no relevance to the plot. Their cheap characterizations reflect that, having nothing to them outside of their tropes.

For a show that like to spew a lot about /sci/ence, it's not very logical. Everything only works conveniently to neatly fit what the plot demands, further complications are completely ignored. The ending is an asspull that wasn't built up at all and it's never explained why Okabe has the reading steiner. The romance is completely forced and feels like it only happened because he's the mc logic so of course the girl who has it all and can be any guy she wants has to end up with him. Got to to fulfill that fantasy.

They really pushed that shit as a big deal and the western anime fandom just doesn't really care.

Princess Kaguya is the only serious contender. If only series are eligible, then Ping Pong. I don't know how there are people who can with a straight face say that Madoka or any other otaku schlock is the anime of the decade.

We can all agree that shonenshit and isekaishit, can never, ever be AotD, in any decade.

>in any decade.
Galaxy Express 999 (shounen) is AOTD for the 70s.
Magic Knight Rayearth (isekai) is AOTD for the 90s.

Those are unpopular opinions at the very best

Fate/Zero.

Not him and I haven't watched it but whenever I see people talk about GE999 it's nothing but praise.

Sure, and I see the same thing, but I don't think those same people would go to bat for it against the entire rest of the decade.

This but also UBW and the Heaven's Feel movies. I can't believe the number of people in denial about how big Fate was this decade.

It's really hard to decide because the 10s had a lot of good shit, at least compared to the 00s. But for me, it's

It was well received in the West mostly apart from IT'S NOT BEBOPfags and got acclaim, does well with reruns on Toonami but never got huge compared to other anime that aired at the time and Nips washed it off as Westaboo nonsense
And when did I say it's a bad show? It's my third favourite tv anime of all time

>It was well received in the West
Not really, the majority of the reviews were middling primarily due to the humor being particularly shit for the most part and it being far too hit or miss.

>does well with reruns on Toonami
Nope. Hell it hasn't even been reran on the block for years also Toonami doesn't mean anything since the show was dubbed a failure even back when it was doing well on the block.

Kemono Friends had the potential to be AOTD if Kadokawa didn't kill it off and helped make the second season good instead. S1 was great and had a lot of charm but needed animation improvements

Attached: 1545950398030.jpg (1280x720, 89K)

Anything that is an incomplete manga adaptation should be disqualified.

Heybot is the only correct choice.

Why's that?

For something to be AOTD instead of just a fun ride it needs to at least attempt to write a satisfying ending. Not just be an advert for the manga. Gridman is more of a contender than Made in Abyss.

So it's more that the anime itself needs completeness and less that it needs to adapt the entire manga? I would agree to that, I think.

Yeh- Girls Last Tour has a reasonable ending for a partial adaptation.

Only stuff with any longevity are
Kill La Kill
Attack on Titan
K-on( I don't like it but it is what it is)
Madoka
Steins gate

Everything else is just a flash in the pan.

Honorable mention to Psycho Pass. If we ignore the second season its great.


If I'm being 100% objective the absolute best anime of the 2010's is POTEMAYO

How are you measuring longevity here?

Probably Flop-kun, since he claims to speak for the whole board and to be an ultimate authority on the anime industry.

The decade ends in 2020. There's no year 0.

Nobody cares.

Only because Pope Gregory didn't think to add a year 0 but somehow saw fit to add them to every decade since.

For simplicity's sake, let's just say Years 1 through 9 was the only decade that didn't begin with a 0 and be done with it.

I agree. We should count lunar phase cycles instead. That little bitch is pretty darn consistent.

By that logic 1990 would be considered part of the 80s, which it isn't, by anyone.

Fix yourself retard. We've managed as a species, to keep time pretty well for about 2000 years by keeping to a set of defined rules. Do your part to not be known as the generation that loses count.

Because as good as it is, it aint AOTD is it? When we look back on now what will stand out; Monogatari or that episode of Sora no Woto where we wait to see if she pisses herself?

What have we learned from this thread? There was a lot of really great anime that came out that people really liked. Good luck finding the true objective winner.

You and I have very different opinions, when I think of AOTD Monogatari doesn't even begin to enter the conversation Katanagatari maybe but Mono? Not a chance.

Well those are the most non biased picks lets be honest...

What do you mean by non-biased?

Objective

>ctrl-F "ping pong"
>14 results
Nice.

I don't think you'd be able to defend that

I think Ping Pong tells a simple story very well, but it isn't AOTD material. I'm also this guy Monogatari is probably what I 'bought into' the most. I think it manages to include a lot of what defines the decade. I'm also so would also exclude a lot of shows that I loved like 3-gatsu.

Objectively Madoka

My favorites list goes:
>10/10
Katanagatari, Madoka, Shirobako
>9/10
Penguindrum, Sora no Woto, Ping Pong, MiA, Yuru Camp
>8/10
Steins;Gate, Chihayafuru, Yuyushiki, Kill la Kill, Kemono Friends, HnK, Girls' Last Tour

Yuck

Insightful as ever, user

Council=/=one totally non-biased user

Fucking great taste user. Is monogatari less than 8/10 or did you not include it because it started in 2009?

god the ammount of same fagging going on

>nonsesical plot
are you autistic? can you not follow story beats?

Oh, if we were to include sequels, SS would be 8/10 and K-On S2 9/10.

I feel like something rated highly enough to be an "of the decade" contender ought have some degree of technical or formal excellence. To specifically pick on Shirobako, even though its story and characters are charming, it doesn't really do anything interesting as an animation, you know?

>it doesn't really do anything interesting as an animation, you know?
I'd disagree. While it doesn't "push boundaries", its referencing of classic animators and directors (such as the sequences in Exodus/Andes Chucky) and the way in which they push MusAni out of their slump is absolutely fantastic and very original.

Dragon Ball Super

Attached: 1562771967612.jpg (859x1153, 88K)

The way I see it is that, for a show which already does so much to celebrate animation and the process of making it, it's a shame that it didn't do more with its own art and animation style. Like, do you think any animators in the future will look back on the people who drew Shirobako in the same way that the characters in the show admire their predecessors?

Obviously K-On

Madoka or maybe SAO. Those two are the only somewhat influential anime i can think of for this decade. Still nowhere as influential as NGE or haruhi though.

>SAO
I've never watched that garbage but I fear you are right

>madoka
>influential
how?

I also loath it, but you can't really deny its influence. AOTD should be reserved for anime that could represent the whole decade, not your personal favorite.

Well for one it single handedly revived the mahou shoujo genre. Kinda like how sao spearheaded the wave of isekai in anime we see today.

Animation and art style should be relevant to the story or setting. Madoka has psychedelic art sequences to match the setting inside the portal, Katanagatari uses cel shading and stills in combat to show how bareknuckle Kyotouryuu is, etc. Shirobako is a story about toughing out the industry and so uses the industry standard of animation to put you right in its environment. It remains great by virtue of the very concept of animation itself being used as the central storytelling element, meaning the viewer can enjoy it on two levels.

I think measuring the influence of stuff so recent is an extremely difficult task at best, impossible at the worst. Like personally I doubt that in the grand scheme of things either of those will have a lasting effect, while others might in its place.

God this shit was so fucking awful it hurts. can't belive so many people praise it, all generic garbage characters

>revived the mahou shoujo genre
Aside from inspiring a bunch of edgy knockoffs, it didn't do shit and the genre is deader than mecha.

Mawaru Penguindrum is fucking garbage

>generic garbage characters
You either weren't paying attention or dropped it midway through. The characters start out as tropes, but then you learn each of their stories and motivations. Don't spew garbage when you have no idea what you're talking about.

This shit was so over hyped, just because it looks pretty doesn't mean its good

Go start another bait Promare thread.

Yahari for popularizing the whole "literally me" character.

>just because it looks pretty doesn't mean its good
But it was successful because of its story, it's the story that tugged at the nips' heartstrings and got so many people seeing it more than once.

Those seem like imagined intentions, honestly.

holy shit what a bunch of fucking autist retards

Again,
>thinking this thread was ever really about discussing which anime was the best of this past decade and not just another shitposter/console war containment thread

No, you say it's 10 years because it's all together but the actual years that you live in are 9

like, no one fucking says "hey what year is it today and you go like uhhg durr durr its 2020! yeah no shit but it's actually 2021 the current year of the 2020 decade"

see...2020.subcategorized 2122,23,24,25..


that's how it works..

I held off on GuP because I'm not convinced that the media franchise is robust enough to last after the last part of Das Finale is released. I could be wrong, but I think if it was going to have a deep impact some of the shows that were a clear rip off would have done better. Does GuP have an influence on any shows coming out in the last few seasons given it came out in the first half of the decade?

While I have my personal favorites, like Shirobako, Kaiji S2, Dandy, Tatami Galxy, Sakamichi no Apollon and some others, I need to agree with you, user.

I didn't even watched SAO, but of course, it was the most influential anime of this decade.

Fuck, forgot Space Dandy and LWA. Well, that's what the "Other" is there for.

>madoka off to a good start
You may not like it, but it's the anime of the decade.

Why did you separate Kizu? Ping Pong is getting a good response itt too.

Why do you think that SAO is the most influential?

I'm surprised anyone would think it isn't influential? You think all these isekai popping up is because of .hack or some shit? No it's because of SAOs popularity

Even if that were true, then it's likely the fault of the light novels more than the anime version.

2020 is the last year brainlet. 2021 is when the 2020s actually begin

More people watch anime than read light novels.
Anime has more influence. You don't have to like sao to admit it had the most influence this decade.

Madoka magica without a doubt, Ive rewatched it too many times to even think of comparing it to anything.

Literally no one agrees on that, the best is HxH and that's universally known, period. Mob isn't even top ten with that awful ending it had on Season 2, Naruto tier power of friendship shit.

I do like SAO though, I just don't agree with what you're saying and I don't think your argument's are very convincing.

Try providing a counter argument instead of just saying it's not.

This is the official, CANON list of AOTD:

1. Hunter x Hunter

If it has to be Yea Forums's AOTD It definitely can't be a shonen anime, also sora yori and violet evergarden are out of the question too, simply because they don't fit with the aesthetic of the board, It could have been darling in the franxx but that show was awful.
If I had to choose I would say something like ping pong is the right answer, It was popular but not with the normalfags, it was well liked here and it's an overall great anime.

>It was popular but not with the normalfags
It seems to be popular in all the normalfag places.

Is there an official AOTD award?

There should be a poll at the end of the year that some fags will claim is edited as usual.

As a filthy casual who has been watching anime for less than a decade my views are more objective than you seasonal treadmill fags. Fight me.

Galaxy Express 999 is culturally iconic and inspired an entire generation of artists and animators in Japan.

Kanada more than the movie, I think, but yeah. Still would be surprised if it were a popular AOTD pick. Even among sci-fi alone it's got some intense competition.

True; no one is going to change their personal pick, but at least the thread gives a good look at what the anons here liked and the discussion it sometimes generates is interesting on its own, like comparison between different animation styles and techniques.

You can't really pin AOTD on one specific anime, because there are just too many genres and people with differing tastes to get a unanimous opinion. The best you can do is make /AOTD/ threads and see which anime get brought up over and over again. Here are my candidates:

Madoka Magica
Shirobako
Shingeki no Kyojin
Steins;Gate
Made in Abyss
Hyouka
Fate/Zero
SSSS.Gridman
A Place Further Than The Universe

garbage list

It will be the same people making the same picks though.
We can get the opinion of around +200 different anons since we will hit bump limit due to multiple posts on any ongoing discussion between people at that time.

I've been sat in this thread for most of the day, what a heartwarming end. Thanks user

No LOTGH tho?

I don't think the idea is to collectively choose one, but to retrospect over the last ten years and discuss individual choices

Yeah, there are some big names missing, probably due to licensing reasons/permission problems, etc. There is no harm it making something good out of a slow topic.

I can't help but wonder if all the posts ITT featuring popular trash are only suggesting them because of popularity, or if this board actually has such garbage taste.

Popular trash is sometimes popular because a lot of people genuinely liked it instead of things like bandwagon-ing on the new 'in' thing so it could easily be mix of both.
Unpopular things can be fun or profound depending on tone, but I wouldn't push a show like that as best of the decade.

There there.

>it's been 5 years and anons are still pretending meme pong was good

Perhaps, but 200 anons is still a reasonable sample size, especially if they include multiple candidates in their list.

True but what are we basing "best of the decade" on?
>personal favorite
>sales
>overall popularity
>direction
>aesthetic artstyle
People are pretty divided and sometimes biased on the topic due to difference in taste so far.

I'd say the best criteria is: what anime do you think you will see people reminiscing over fondly 20 years from now? Yes, it might be stuff that is merely "popular", but if it solidified itself into the public consciousness to a degree that even decades from now people talk about it (like what happened with Eva, Lain, Bebop, etc), then its worthy of consideration. It's for this reason that I didn't include idol / isekai / "big 3"-type shonen shows in my list, because as popular as they are they will either leave a faint impression over time due to their target audience OR their audience will remember them but only in a "hey, that got me into anime, but I've since seen better" kind of way.

When are you donkey dick retards going to watch Madoka Magica? Honestly? Stop being needle dick newfags and watch the damn show. This isn’t even a contest.

Just for a second I want you to really think about how shit all these anime series you posted are compared to Madoka magica. The fact that people think they can even be compared as somewhat equal just shows how new most of Yea Forums is because I guarantee 99.9% of people here who aren’t claiming Madoka to be AOTD have not watched the series and are judging it on the cover art.

Sora no Woto, Inferno Cop, Ping Pong, Space Dandy, or Saraiya Goyou

That doesn't help in the bias department though. People can have a skewed view due to personal attachment. We can get a solid list out of it but the top spot will cause problems. People can't pin point the best in this decade if they haven't seen every single show that came out during that time; not everyone here would have seen everything that came out so the best they have seen is their number 1.
A 'favorite anime' poll would make more sense in that case.

Not really. Awards = AOTD more so than popular opinion because fun fact: little 13-14 year old children will watch anything you put in front of their face and think it’s good. This is why awards determine AOTD because people who know the difference and work on anime are the ones giving the awards. This is why Madoka Magica is the AOTD because even though most of the underage anons here can’t understand the series or didn’t watch it because of how it looks it doesn’t take anything away from the anime.

I watched it, it made me feel bad about the girls suffering so I don't care about it that much and I honestly don't remember that much about it either.

Maybe because you didn’t watch it? Either that or you have a brain tumor. There’s no way you watch Madoka and forget about it.

Forget as in I don't remember details, etc I only saw it once; I haven't seen the movie though.

What’s up with Yea Forums and not remembering shit they’ve seen in the past? I remember every inuyasha episode I’ve ever watched and that was my first anime. How the fuck do people here have so much brain damage? Is pretending to forget what happened in an anime supposed to be an insult? If it is its not very effective. It just makes you look handicapped.

I remember the anime I like or re-watch just fine, some things just blur out over time if you were not too invested.

I’m pretty sure you just didn’t watch it guy. Either that or you have brain damage.

Based schizo.

Whatever makes you happy; I watched Inuyasha too and liked it a lot but I can't recall every single episode like does, so maybe my memory is weaker but I remember things like Samflam just fine.

I watched it in 2011 like most of you autists. It scores points for unique visuals, but it's not like I haven't been blown away by unique visuals before, let alone by SHAFT.
It gets points in story mainly for subverting mahou shoujo tropes, but again, this is nothing new. People who praise Madoka for genre subversion are newfags who need to watch more old anime.
Honestly, I enjoyed Madoka. I liked the visuals. I liked the Faustian theme. Character design was meh. Story didn't wow me but was still okay.
It's easily the most overrated anime I can think of.

I had Inuyasha on in the background while I went to bed and I still remember any episode you’ll show me. I was almost as uninvested as you can get. Just watch the anime guy. It’s literally 12 episodes.

Cross Ange was the one that I enjoyed watching with you the most Yea Forums so I'm going to go with that.

I'd rather watch an anime I haven't seen before.

It’s the greatest story ever told. You either didn’t understand it and I’m not joking or over exaggerating here user. You didn’t watch it or you didn’t understand it. Watch Madoka and if you finish the show and you think the “story is okay” the most likely scenario here is you’re a dumbass and you didn’t understand the show. It’s as simple as that.
