I just realized this because of the new anime this coming season..
I'm beginning to get tired of anime that falls under the category moe, loli, all girls and slice of life.... I say when they are all in the same anime... It's becoming boring IMHO. It's all about cute stuff... really it's getting boring... it's being over used. |

Spring looks awful this year for the most part...but at least there are some series that don't have moeblobs.

Personally, it seems like to me they're going to have to recycle a previous genre and perhaps mix a couple of genres -- as we're seeing, they' well into the middle of "cute girls doing gar things" so it's a coin flip as to the next mix. Personally, I thought the industry bounced away from series like H&C, Hataraki Man, REC, (stories about young adults) far too quickly. Once the economy stabilizes - maybe we'll at least see some more variety and risk-taking by producers.

An actual mecha renaissance might at least persuade anime producers to get a little bit more outside of their comfort zone, and look for commercial successes in series that aren't purely, or even largely, rooted in moe. But I will say that Spring 2013 looks pretty weak for a Spring season to me. The one thing I will say in defense of moe, all-girls, and slice of life shows is that it is somewhat impressive how anime is able to constantly refine these, and come ever closer to a sort of platonic ideal with them. Love Live!, for example, strikes me as right on the cusp of the platonic ideal of a moe show. I mean, if you like moe, as a concept, I don't know many shows that captures that concept as well and with such totality, as what Love Live does. But admittedly, even these gradual refinements might lose their appeal in time without greater diversification throughout anime as a whole.

- The moe girl that's also fills the role of the action hero as you mentioned - the aloof heroine that overwhelms and confuddles the rest of the cast with her personality and bends things to their will - characters with Chuunism or who are very open about being otaku - imoutos and onii-chans who get along a little too well - Idols in general There already seem to be some fusions going on and newer "edgier" trends starting up and now I'd swear loli is no longer really as popular as some of the tropes I mentioned above. |

Finally it came to this. From this day on I stopped becoming an anime fan after 18 years of being so. It was its current industry trend that actually killed me.
Back then when I was a kid I used to see some good shows like Rurouni Kenshin, Slam Dunk, Ranma 1/2 and Cardcaptor Sakura and today where these shows go? Instead what I got are generic action/ecchi/harem/moe shows for guys and generic romance/bishounen/reverse-harem/shouta shows for girls. Now anime industry have turned into something like junk food one. Produced in mass quantities, cheap, having little lasting values and can be quickly forgotten as you digest them. Yeah it's true Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Hunter x Hunter but it just not enough. At least for me those shows are good but nowhere as "masterpiece" and "exemplary" as most people claimed. Clannad is probably the last show that actually plot-driven despite being less than 50 episodes long(both seasons). The only decent shounen shows right now are also quick cash-grabbing shows like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach(now ended) and Fairy Tail. Toriko is also heading in that way too. I know without these shows the industry itself will be in jeopardy but that's not an excuse not to make better plot-driven shows. About the plot most of the popular shounen shows are pulled for too long. Naruto, Bleach and One Piece are the biggest offenders(though I personally picked for One Piece because it is older than the other two). What's worse they are some shounen shows that actually tried to appeal teenage girls and young adult women instead of intended marketing audience(teenage boys). I'm not going to argue about that further but some people already figured what I'm try to say even they actually disagree with me. While the industry itself is never better or worse than in recent years but I think I need to stop here. Ore no Imouto 2 will be the last anime I ever saw as an anime fan. It is sad to let it go of what already part of myself for 18 years but someday we need to say goodbye to our best friend. For me the day is today. |

Let's take the examples from your own post Rurouni Kenshin - 1996 Slam Dunk -1993 Ranma 1/2 - 1989 Cardcaptor Sakura - 1998 The timegap between those examples is pretty big Perhaps due to the changed anime trend the majority of shows don't appeal to you and that's fine. However this part does raise some questions Quote:

@NK_500:
While we never friends but at least I'm the one who actually sympathized you since we both had similar taste in anime. I'm not going to stop you but let me give you an advice. Never ever lose hope on anime industry even it is indeed sucks. Yes you're right there are too many craps have been produced lately regardless their marketing audiences but there still some gold hidden between them. Just keep on panning for gold while let the sand(crappy shows) drifted away. About "shounen" shows for girls it also bothers me too but at same time it will not going to plague the industry for too long(flash in the pan if you prefer). EDIT: @hyl: Back then the industry wasn't as competitive as today and it was a good time for experiment. Slam Dunk probably fall into Naruto and Bleach category too by comparison but at least it wasn't as long(although incomplete). |

For one thing, if you're so tired of these "junk food" types of anime, why are you still watching them? Why watch trash like Total Eclipse and Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai, and not From the New World, Wolf Children, or Steins;Gate? Have you even heard of these anime? Do they look like generic action/ecchi shounen to you? And there are tons of great older and not-that-recent anime that don't show up in your list. Have you tried Kaiba, Texhnolyze, or Key the Metal Idol? You don't always have to watch current anime, you know. All I see are sweeping, inaccurate assumptions of the direction of the industry born from ignorance. |

When I was kid the only source for anime is TV. It had all of those shows shown together in same year so I have no idea about the year it came from. Even that was too long.
Have you ever heard of Hagemaru? It was bad even make Crayon Shin-chan like a masterpiece and bigger suprise, it came even before Shin-chan. I'm glad most English-speaking people never heard of it so they don't had the same torment as I had when I was a kid. Yes there are some buried trash too and I believe Hagemaru is one of them. |
