I’ve been watching a few series from discotek on bluray lately and they have these compilation commercials for other series they’ve licensed and it’s really striking just how much better everything from every decade even into the 2000’s looked than anime today. There are some occasional standouts today but it’s absolutely a dead medium.
@jimmybuffettfanaccount@Dicer the artstyle and quality change by WIT between S2 and 3 was night and day this is when i started "its over" posting and started to because an anime medium hater and it's only gotten worse with time
@TornadoOfTerror@jimmybuffettfanaccount Early attack on titan was so good yet the intrigue stopped and it became meaningless bickering over nothing near chapter 40. That's when I dropped it, the anime came out and everyone was eating Titanslop for years, even my best friend.
@TornadoOfTerror Hate how popular that song has become, used to listen to One and a half hour doomer music in quarantine and now fags listen to it like an accessory
@jimmybuffettfanaccount@TornadoOfTerror The old guard died and what once was fueled by passion is now fueled by sales and visions that are a pale echo of visions past.
@Dicer@TornadoOfTerror I generally get how the intersection between the oriental inclination towards gambling addiction and “free market” principles in gacha killed the Japanese video game industry, im less sure of why anime necessarily died.
@TornadoOfTerror@Dicer Outsourcing, probably, but I don’t buy the rest. The pay was always shit, japs don’t have original ideas, they always copy each others and the west’s stuff. to great effect, don’t get me wrong, but there’s no denying anime has always been trend focused and redundant. And Isekai hate is wildly overblown, boomer tier whinging, so you can blow that right out of your ass.
@jimmybuffettfanaccount@Dicer my problem with isekai is that yes anime always had trends but look how different most of the sci fi anime were from each others and even chunni schizo anime were of 2000's , all of the isekai are same to me which is probably why oldfags liked first 5 episodes of shield hero
@jimmybuffettfanaccount anime became increasingly more and more global catering to a wider audience when the wider audience isn't worth acknowledging because they're all faggots and normalfaggots with low standards @Dicer@TornadoOfTerror
@professionalbigot69@jimmybuffettfanaccount@Dicer in 2013 attack on titan s1 WIT studio had to apologize to online spergs because they aired 5 seconds of unfinished footage nowdays nobody gives a shit if they air literal trash , normgroids actually defend it
@jimmybuffettfanaccount@Dicer@TornadoOfTerror Every time I say this some niggerfag will chirp that it's just nostalgia but I rewatched Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust for the 50th time and nothing today even comes CLOSE.
