What happened to the good old Anime's?

Its sad to see all these crappy new generic stuff. What happened to shows like Yu Yu Hakusho, Trigun, Big O, Inuyasha etc. Eureka 7 is an exception. Now most anime is bland and stereotypical.

 

Just to name a few of the lame ones, Bleach, Naruto, Boboboboboboboooblebolegoladoo, and some others.

I really love Eureka Seven and The Big O. Anime need more than just people and swords. They need a plot and a deeper meaning.

 

I was afraid of Naruto lover hate mail.

 

Naruto...I used to like it, but it just grew old...
And Bleach...ugh...please get some real artists in there please...and some of the character designs are so generic to me.

The real art lies in mechs. Those are some of the most detailed I have ever seen.
Gundam (something)...for instance, has some of the most well drawn I have ever encountered.

 

Anime is suiting the newer audience these days, eve some of the newer ones based on older ones are starting to change.


I just want more violent toons thank you.

 

Gundam Seed was cool and i loved Naruto.....for the first 3 seasons then then it got stale

 

Yes for Gundam and the same for Naruto. I watched it only for Gara though.

 

I kinda liked Full metal Alchemist though it hardly made sense.

 

FMA was good until near the end. It just killed the series for me... =\
I absolutely hated the movie...

The manga was loads better.

DBZ is one of my favorite anime that I ever watched. The Cell saga and Frieza saga are my favorites. Dragonball HAS to be my favorite out of the Dragonball series though.

 

Too much of a good things becomes bad....really bad.

 

It's because people start talking about it ALL THE TIME and kill the anime.
I used to say "Oh, yeah" at times. Some people started saying it as well and I haven't said it since...T_T..
That's the same with Naruto and Bleach...wait...they're just annoying. XD

 

Bleach was good at first to. i liked the concepts but then everything got so....Jrpg like that i just gave up.

 

don't watch anime nowadays! thats what i do! ^^

 

I found it interesting at first. But I lost interest after not caring about it. I just didn't like it after the 3rd episode. I couldn't stand it.

It has an interesting concept, but it just went down the wrong path...and some of the character designs are uglay. The only one I like is Fisher.

Guardian of the spirit was ok

 

There are still plenty of great animes, it's just that , unfortunately, the truly good ones tend not to find mainstream success.

 

I can't find any anime that suits me except repeats.

Afro Samurai, Vandread, Eureka Seven, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Ghost in the Shell, and a few others I watch a lot of.

That's good though.

Because then people won't kill them!

 

Samurai champloo was good but confused me with its time loops.

 

I still need to watch all of it.

 

It depends on which anime you WATCH. Now a days, anime don't run as long. Also, anime has multiple genre. You only named a bunch of Shonen ones; the shonen genre has actually declined; The only shonen manga I've been reading lately is Blazer Drive. And then, for anime, there's Buso Renkin. Durarara!! is a good shonen one, as well.
It just depends; for horror anime, there's always Red Garden, if you can get past the boring dips for story building, and then there's Angel Beats; it's got a good mix of comedy, slice of life, drama, music and action. And then there's moeblob anime like K-On!!

Anime hasn't really declined, per-se, it's just the anime that's being BROUGHT OVER is somewhat... Generic and bland. YYH was pretty generic itself, as most shonen anime end up being. Nowadays, it's just about visual presentation.
