2010s will official come to a close in just over three months. What was the definitive anime of the decade?

Its forgotten af right now.

What's the best episode in this decade?

this looks like isekai trash of the most generic kind, what was it?

Sword Art Online spawned the Isekai craze. It defined this decade of anime more than anything else honestly.

The Nourin beach episode.

Madoka is the most important anime of this decade by virtue of not being an adptation, wildly popular and highly acclaimed by the industry.

Kimi no na Wa is the most important movie because of the mad cash it made and people sucking Shinkai's dick even harder than before

SnK and SAO are also the clear cash cows of the decade, and the monster that has become Fate thanks to Fate/zero and FGO

Netero vs Meruem.

You have a point. The late 10s at least for anime has been one studio after another trying to release an isekai anime that will beat SAO. It doesn't help that the LN industry is overripe with isekai stories. Which leads to manga. Which leads to anime. It's almost all encompassing at this point.

This. Ping Pong the animation is the AOTD

Symphogear easily. Shows how stupid the decade really is when the anime that's a tribute to the 70s, 80s and 90s wins by a mile.

SAO was shit but it gave the world Suguha...

Nice. SnK and HxH are practically in an arm's race.

It's certainly the most influential. I'll agree to that. The bad of it is Overpowered MC in fantasy settings battle action stories. The good of it is, at least for my tastes, town building isekai with relatively little action as a offshoot to those types of stories. The first I don't care about. The second doesn't get anime but it does get manga which I do a good amount of reading of.

You, I like you

Also, the rise of fujo and to a lesser extent rise of better yuri

>>unironically thinking this shit won't be forgotten in a few years

It depends. How long did it take until everyone forgot Inu Yasha?

AoT probably had the most influence for sure.
One Punch Man was pretty big, but it's kinda dead at this point. Can't think of anything else that started this decade that's big enough to mention

its shit tho. its pretty popular but it has nowhere near the acclaim of AoT. the animation is the only thing it has going for it and AoT's is comparable (if not quite as good)

Chad taste right here, Ping Pong is pure kino

Attached: ping pong 1.png (1920x1080, 2.88M)

That was this decade? I feel like I was still in high school when this happened...

Mob Psycho, 2nd season. Almost every single episode was movie quality with 10/10 plot, humor, action and maturity. There{s nothing NOT perfect in the first episode with the girl, the haunted house episode, the Mogami & Reigen two-parters, the marathon episode with Mob coming back home and the final battle. Every damn single emotion and moral was top notch. As a whole Mob is only ¨held down¨ by its first season which mind you, it was already my favorite anime back in 2016. The first season is extremely good and on par with Madoka, but it feels small fry compared to the 2nd one.

But well, once you put together an anime with 2 season with the lesser one being a match to Madoka, I guess Mob as a whole deserves to be anime of the decade.

user you're probably right. It could have been One Punch Man but S2 let it slip on the production. The only other competitor is MHA, but that'll continue throughout the 2020's.

What other stories were brought about due to AoT? Influence means there was a shift in the industry which you don't see from AoT. It's a powerhouse. It sells. But no one is trying to imitate it.

I like Mob as much as you do but these reasons are purely subjective. It's not objectively the defining show of the decade like SAO is.

>SAO
>forgotten
user, I don't think you know what that means.

>Mob Shitco
Everything only turns out fine because of coincidence. Had Mob fallen in with the wrong crowd, which, let's be real here, would have been far more likely, the entire world would have been enslaved by espers. Contrast that with the masterpiece that is HxH, where the ants being defeated by humanity's malice is an inevitability and relevant commentary on mankind's position on Earth, and it's laughable that one can say Mob is good.

If we're going pure numbers, than Bakemonogatari 2

i dont know if thats all influence means, but i take your point. i dont think its something that can be replicated easily, though. the only reason SAO spawned so many copies is because the base concept is so simple.
AoT was certainly a lot more popular in the mainstream, so it may have contributed to more people getting into anime? thats a guess though, no idea if viewership has gone up

Let's play a game. What is your definitive anime of the
>2010s
>2000s
>1990s
>1980s
>1970s

Most influential/decade defining is probably Best is Sangatsu

I had only read the OP and [ definite anime of the decade ] sounds like a fancy word for best one.
Mob likes to say that a lot (I could have ended like that if I went down the wrong path!) but it's not necessarily true since he makes a lot of mistakes. Even during the final battle the Boss tears apart his argument and Mob just shuts up and fights.
Since Mob always had the right mindset (going to Reigen to seek help as a little kid) I think he'd have turned out fine even without friends.
Mogami specifically creates the worst possible scenario to turn him evil with kids who bully him and kill cats but that's not the average experience for a middle schooler.

AoT is big, but I can't see a single major story AoT influenced as opposed to something like SAO which spawned a whole genre of imitators or Madoka which did something kind of similar though it's not around anymore

>definite anime of the decade
No he said, "definitive". That means something that is not just popular but very influential in some way, like Gundam, Evangelion or Dragon Ball.

Katanagatari
The Tatami Galaxy
Hyouka
Madoka Magica
Hunter x Hunter
Nichijou
Kyousogiga
Sangatsu no Lion
Shirobako
Flip Flappers

or something like that. I was only able to cut it down to a list that short by being pretty strict in terms of not repeating writers/directors/etc, and there's plenty of other stuff I'd consider equally worthy, but I think that covers the decade pretty well.

>sounds like a fancy word for best one

it's not.

You make valid points. Isekai is a simple concept which is why it's so overdone. AoT I agree is a powerhouse not just in anime but in manga. One of the top selling manga of all time. This may have gotten a bigger Western audience. I don't think it's done much to inflate the domestic audience but that is so varied it's a moot point. The only variable I can see for how it could have gotten more people into anime is how it's doing in China which I don't know. Maybe someone could point that out. If it's jumped the numbers in China I could see the argument for definitive due to the influence of anime adoption in general.

CHEEERIIOOOOO

The only one of those that can be considered definitive is Madoka. The rest are just shows you like.

Urobuchi really dropped the ball with Madoka. The trailer for the upcoming movie was one of my favorite pieces of media and I watched it so many times I can play it on my head. I believe it could have helped the franchise stay relevant to this day considering how controversial Rebellion was and it still spawns discussion 5 years later.. like Fate Zero.
THAT'S IT, FATE ZERO

Isn't Fate Zero stupidly influential considering it kick-started the "Fate boom" and it's currently the main moneymaker in Japan? Without Ufotable creating Fate Zero and getting into the mainstream, they wouldn't have done UBW and eventually Fate/Grand Order which is the biggest videogame over there and is currently spawning even more material.

Mayoiga

>2010s

>2000s

NGE (objectively the correct answer)

>1980s
Macross: DYRL

>1970s
Yamato

>THAT'S IT, FATE ZERO
That's not a bad take. I would say the franchise started in the 00s though so it might be a bit of a cheat to say it's definitive for the 10s.

i think youre focusing too much on this copycat idea. its certainly a decent metric but its not the be-all-and-end-all. SAO didn't spawn copycats because of any of the details, it was literally just its core concept that was easy to replicate and shit out low-effort garbage with.

>Objectively the correct answer
Can you say that when it exists at the same time as Dragon Ball Z? The way I see it, anyone who knows Evangelion previously knew Dragon Ball Z.
But if you don't even know DBZ, there's a 99% chance you never even heard about Evangelion.

And of course there's the fact half Battle Shonen seems to have some influence by DBZ which was the main battle shonen in the 90s. Mechas were already big and thriving without Evangelion, Gundam and Macross are still alive and well without it.
But it's like DBZ spawned the whole current Shonen Jump.

You're good people, although I'd say Haruhi was more important for the 00s than Code Geass for popularizing LN adaptations

Attached: 1503496009914.jpg (500x500, 85K)

I agree that the anime popularized Dragonball worldwide, but when I think of all the now classic DB tropes that influenced the overall genre of shonen battle series, that stuff is the original manga, not its anime adaptation.

NGE was definitely the more influential anime.

DBZ was 80s into the 90s though. Do you start off when the series starts?

That's a good point. Which came first for the LNs Haruhi or *monogatari?

>VR
>Isekai
>MMORPG elements
This is literally anime of the decade. It has EVERYTHING popular right now in Japanese culture. Everything big is either VR(virtual youtubers are huge), isekai, or an RPG in Japan.

Fate Zero is only influential to Type-Moon itself. There's nothing that Fate Zero brought to the table that put influence on the future but it did baloon Type-Moon into international popularity

>2000s
>FMA & FMA Brotherhood
No that's Haruhi full stop

That's true, but you can't go anywhere in Japan without seeing Fate merch, just for the record. It's big but only relevant to TypeMoon itself though that's kinda like Baseball. Baseball is big even if it's not relevant to other sports.

Haruhi beats it by three years.

>No that's Haruhi full stop

I was considering that too, but I don't call being cosplay fuel for every anime club autist in the western hemisphere and then being largely forgotten once the popularity dies "definitive." It really hasn't aged well.

Sigh... The decade started at 01/01/2011 and will end at 31/12/2020. There more than a year left.

The question is what is definitive for the decade as a whole. I think had Brotherhood not come out, FMA would have faded in popularity as well, meanwhile, Haruhi is the biggest reason SoL and LN adaptations of anime became a thing. Heck, everybody knew the Hare Hare Yukai back then

And here I thought I would have to post the most obvious thing. Good job, user.

thats not how it works you idiot. the first decade was from 0-9, the same way centuries start on the round number.

There was no Year 0. 1 BC rolled directly into AD 1. Ergo, the first decade of the current calendar was 1/1/1 to 12/31/10. The same pattern holds for centuries and millennia. 2000 was not the start of the 2nd century AD, 2001 was one.

then why do we call them the 80s, 90s etc. You can have a 90s and not include the 90 in it.

How can we win AotD if we're all fucking dead?

Attached: 1442879831358.jpg (500x500, 187K)

I think we can be a little arbitrary after 2000 years.

Because it's simpler to say. Technically any period of 10 years is a decade. But if you are going to slice up a timeline, starting at x0 makes no sense.

its just how people do it because its more aesthetic, get over it. the 10s end in 2019 and thats just a fact.

Based Chadver of course

Attached: 1549998655671.png (1280x844, 575K)

That's how the lowest denominator does it. That doesn't mean you have to do it that way. It's not a big deal tough, just a pet peeve.

Holy BASED

i get what youre saying, technically if you divide up all of the years in the calendar it works like you say. but its far more logical and convenient to do it the common way based on how we name the decades. it would be confusing as hell to call them the 2010s but have them not include the year 2010.

>for popularizing LN adaptations
Wouldn't that go to Slayers or Boogiepop?

no-one cares about that show man, stop trying

I care, so you're claim is factually false

It got 65 episodes, which is more than almost anything else ITT, obviously somebody cares.

Steins;Gate or Madoka.

AOTD is K-ON!! I don't rate AOTD on how popular and influential it is, think that kind of rating is fucking bullshit. Nichijou, Sarazanmai and the Haruhi movie are all runners up.

I don't think LN adaptations were that popular in-between Slayers and Haruhi. Haruhi created the -craze- of LN adaptations, as something beyond isolated instances

Madoka, even though the franchise itself is currently in limbo.

damn, SAO literally killed anime, no wonder anime has been declining this decade.

These guys get it. Madoka and Symphogear are fighting it out at the top, and Symphogear has two more episodes to land one more big punch and take the title.

I would still say it's Madoka. There are a few other reasonable answers too but Madoka has that special combination of being well-made, popular, and influential, especially in Japan.

It doesn't have as much clout now, but with the rise of the MCU and the DC universe, it will have a shit ton of staying power so long as capeshit is at the forefront of pop culture.

AOTD threads are pretty shitty since only one-two shows we're truly influential. And they can be not your favorite show or good show at all. Was Madoka big enough? Last episodes were supposed to air during 2011 earthquake. And they had kinda similar "plot". I remember Madoka was in weekly japanese newspaper too. This is not something you can see normally. Or maybe SaO? Was SaO a reason for narou populatino rising? Or just coincidence? SnK?

Why is it that people post the same three copypastas for Mob Psycho all the time and every fucking time people take the bait and reply seriously?

Because bots mostly spam in shonen threads or where fanbase war exist. You don't see them if you not visit them

I miss Tiger & Bunny

I can see a good argument for Madoka and SAO. I'm leaning more toward SAO because while Madoka was unfathomably popular for an anime original, SAO basically unintentionally changed both the LN and anime industry in a big way due to it's success.

AOT is big and popular but I feel like that's gonna be like FMA where it was a really popular manga but there's just nothing like it and didn't cause a stir in shounen.
