When did anime or manga peak? Why are new anime so shit and shallow as hell?
When was peak reached?
2007 and it's been downhill since.
Hunter x Hunter. . So rich of themes, narratives within a narratives. So many parallels, themes enveloping each other in perfect synthesis. Manga peakes as an art form when Togashi wrote CA.
1980
Nostalgia cycle is 20 years. So 1999. Next year peak is 2000 and so forth.
OP here, I thought it would be 2010 but what was your last favorite series?
What are you defining as peak? If you're talking about creatively, then there's still artistic manga coming out. It's just harder to shift through the clutter with the amount that's been released. Also if you're including anime, your minds in the wrong place. Anime is typically an adaptation.
Anime originals are still being creative.
This. Darling in the franxx is my favorite creative endeavor
OP here, I'm more focused on how the story is being progressed and how it evolves throughout the series
End of Evangelion was the end of the industry.
2007
when you were 14
This
There's only so much that can be done to a story and only a couple angles to attack development from. Linear and nonlinear.
Linear stories are the typical because focusing on one character gives readers something to focus on, while mythology like non-linear attract less attention because reading an authors fiction lore isn't too appealing. What type of animes did you like from 2010?
CHAD Force is probably the peak of animation
Late 90s or mid 2000s
Re:Creators is still my favorite show for being different.
Anime isn't really any better or worse than it has been, but we've been getting less and less filter. So in a sense theres less people "gatekeeping" which may or may not be a good thing in your opinion.
cringe
What do you mean by filter?
Nowadays, you can pretty much get subs for any show. Back in the 90s, that just wasn't the case, someone pre-selected the shows you could get access to.
>anime
The 80s.
>manga
No clue, probably the 60s or 70s but manga is different compared to anime, since it's so much easier to create a comic you're going to have great works no matter the time period.
The 80s was the peak then
It peaked when you weren't watching it gaylord.
This is pretty noticable when one starts to watch more unknown stuff from the 80s and 90s. Shit, it applies well into the 2000s too. The amount of forgotten shows is huge, and while some are decent or good, the vast majority are either bland or bad. Survivorship bias is a very very real thing. Pic related for one of the "masterpieces" of the 90s.
They keep peaking every year, makes you wonder how longer they can keep improving with every passing year
>Kekko Kamen
>comparable in any way, shape or form to any of the contemporary bland shows that fill every seasonal chart
What did he mean by this.
It's a fun romp, but you can't honestly say it was actually "good". Though people like the OP are either baiting or want all anime to be "deep, dark, and mature". So in dispelling the notion that the 90s is all Cowboy Bebop, EVA, and Utena, Kekkou Kamen is a pretty good fit.
That picture isn't a peak, it's a curve with exponential growth
2019
Has anime experienced exponential growth?
Maybe during a limited timeframe, but overall: no
Just like most other human-produced stuff, anime is dependent on population growth. Anime will start growing exponentially if Abe will succeed, or if anime-producing AI will be invented.
>Just like most other human-produced stuff, anime is dependent on population growth.
No, it isn't
2019 is trash though. The last good year was 2018
80s to 90s
Anime never peaked because it's been consistently shit. Manga doesn't peak because if you know where to look, it's been great for decades.
The cycle is 16 years.
1979 - Gundam
1995 - Eva
2011 - Madoka
2027 - ???
>Madoka is 8 years ago
These Madokafags. Better things came out in 2011.
>2011 - Yuru Yuri
Fixed.
I realized why Madokafags are so desperate, their anime got completely overshadowed by other series that year.
Did it? Even casuals have heard of madoka, nobody knows what yuru yuri is
1998.
