I enjoy anime, however, I feel anime has been on a quality decline over the past few years. They are hollow shells of new seasons, clones of other popular anime, generic and uninspired stories, etc.

Anyone else feel this way?

P.s. I’m TIRED of highschool themed anime omg go away

    Dandadan has a amazing opening and I know it’s a quality show but some reason the plot and characters weren’t that good for me.

      The last scene of the latest season of Dandadan had some of the most beautiful stills I’ve seen in any anime.

      I agree with OP and I don’t consume nearly as much anime/manga as my more avid friends, so I can’t speak to this as much as others. That said, I’ve also noticed this downwards trend towards rote formulaic generic anime (and general media as well). Sadly it just means there are more infrequent gems of unique and well produced anime, but it still happens.

      It’s probably not for everyone. I love comedy shows, parodies, wacky style and mystery, so it’s perfectly tailored towards my tastes I guess. This might also be a personal thing, but I will say that episode 7 is one of the most well-directed and deeply emotional episodes I’ve ever seen.
