It’s time to admit the 2000’s were the golden age of anime

If anything I think you were too young.

ALl I can say is you're pretty old now.

Cowboy Bebop is really well done and has engaging characters. I liked Noir's OP but I never got into it. It just wasn't for me I guess.

Noir probably has the most engaging storyline ever, the soundtrack is unarguably the best in anime history
Never seen Bebop

>Konata is 30 now

I have to disagree. All looked quite bland, same colors everywhere. And going from cell to digital was mostly bad, you just need to see LOGH gaiden to notice shocking differences in a short period of time. You can't even have BD quality of most series today so it keeps looking shitty like it looked in the day.
It was also the decade that buried OVA's forever.

Good times.

They were, all because of one show. 90's come close though. 2010 was frontloaded as fuck.

We got next to no isekai anime after 2002. Digimon Frontier, Digimon Savers and Zero no Tsukaima are all I can think of. Had some great shows at the start of the period like Twelve Kingdoms but went downhill fast.

80s is the golden age. Fuck you. Choke on dick and die

Yeah OP, his name is SILVERstein.

If anything 80s is the golden age of /m/ while 00s is the golden age of Yas Forums. Unless you count NGE as conventional mecha i guess but nobody does that.

What would the ideal age range be?

Probably haven't aged well but Haruhi was the first time I saw a show and I thought it looked like a movie. I was exaggerating but it certainly was a noticeable bump in quality compared to everything else airing at the time. Anime in general started looking better after Haruhi.

I can't wait to annihilate my dick to her Watanabe design

Higurashi is one of the reasons I stopped watching anime in the mid/late 00s

OVAs were nothing special and digital on it's own wasn't a bad thing, the only real negative you pointed out was that a lot of early digital stuff has ended up locked in 480p.

I assume it's because you were too busy with therapy.

I do think OVA's were something special, I miss them.
Digital isn't necessary a bad thing but the way it was used during most of that decade it made it contrast bad with older productions.

Was in middle school in the early 2000s and had an Eva obsessed friend. Good times.

This. OVAs were sort of a media with lots more freedom than TV where shorter and more outlandish stories took place. Sure, lots of cheap studios used the format to produce lots of garbage but a lot of great or peculiar works were born from it. It provided us some respite from the heavily market-focused broadcast productions. Nowaways I feel anime is heavily trapped behind executives and focus groups.

>> 2005 - Kamichu!
That surprises me a little, I figured it would be more popular in Nippon than among Western audiences, but not AOTY-tier

Summer Wars? Really?

2011 without a doubt.

In every single of these years.

>Probably haven't aged well
I watched Haruhi in late 2019. It's the best anime ever made. Just because the current anime community is retarded doesn't means it didn't age well.

2011 was the last good year, everything died afterwards

This list is utterly retarded.

Peak: 1996-2003
Decline: 2004-2011
Depression: 2012-2017
Dead: 2018-Present

Can we all agree on this?

2007

> 2001 - Noir

What in the ever-loving fuck?

I mean, I liked MADLAX, but what the fuck is this? Where did you pull this list from, user?

Decline started after early 2010's.

Fuck this list

I agree.

mid-late 2000s through early-mid 2010s

early 2000s were shit

Newtype Magazine in 2001 had Noir ranked as the 2nd most popular anime behind Cowboy Bebop, it placed top 3 on numerous other yearly polls as well

No, fuck off

Hot take as someone who loves 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s anime: Cardcaptor Sakura was kind of boring

The peak was actually in between the 00's and the 10's. It's Haruhi 2009 and Disappearance. Everything before that increased over time up to it. Gunbuster, Evangelion, Lain, Haruhi 2006. And then it went downhill from there. Madoka and Shinsekai Yori were right after it, but then it kept getting progressively worse. And now here we are.

Yuri bait, the only place that gave it an award was the Chicago Film Festival

>between the 2000s and 2010s
Literally doesn't exist, unless there were some lost days between December 31st 2009 and January 1st 2010
