*don't bother answering that, because it's rhetorical* It's pretty safe to say that even 10 or 20 years ago more than 70% of all the animes back then weren't all that great |

Heck right now Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is running. Exactly the kind of show to appeal to an old anime fan. Sorry, but your complaints are about the shows you watch not anime as a whole. Why are you watching those shows? Why aren't you watching the other shows?

I know I had bad taste in anime but some "philosophy" stuff just failed to grab my attention.
I also well aware lots of people are hating Total Eclipse and Ore no Imouto but I loved them anyway. TE have good production qualities even the plot is quite off. OreImo never take itself too seriously which makes it good to me. Lots of people are calling School Days as "masterpiece" but for me it just a garbage, at best. By the way the only reason I watch OreImo because I saw its first season. I want to see how it folds up even though I can see the third and perhaps even fourth season are in their way too. |

People who have some kind of tunnel vision when it comes to anime and make inaccurate generalizations based on what they have watched and not as a whole. When it comes to quantity there are more "bad animes" compared to 15+ years ago, but the number of animes airing every season has been more than doubled as well. I don't think that the ratio "good" and "bad" animes has changed that much over the years |

Are you just going to shove these anime off and continue to push your argument about the "decline" of anime? |

Now, now, there's no need to end one's anime experience on Oreimo season 2. I mean stuff like after prolonged exposure to that would be a reason to quit life, much less anime.
Also, it's time to introduce you guys to the joys of terrible vintage anime.

You're really selling the intellectual appeal of these two shows short.

You don't get the point of inaccurate generaliztions, do you? When i go to the local lingerie store and i observe it for 1 hour and after that hour i noticed that there were more men than women at the store. Nobody would possibily believe that my generalization that more men than women go to a lingerie store could possbily be accurate and that all has to do with incomplete data *i blame date a live for this random example, because i couldn't think of any stores that women tend to go to* |

My version.
In a buffet... Mario wants to know if all food being serve taste good. He pick 3 of his favorites ignoring the other 7 dishes. He liked the 3 and generalized that all the foods being serve taste good knowing that he never tasted the other dishes. Am I wrong? |

I nearly grown out of anime in 2010, when nearly every shows totally sucked and failed to grab my attention, then Madoka Magica and steins Gate took me by surprise in 2011, forcing me to go back into anime again. Then, i once again nearly grown out of anime during winter 2013, by exact same reason as before. But then again, Attack on Titan and Hataraku Maou-sama's pure awesomeness managed to drag me back into anime once again.
The point is, no matter how many times i intend to kiss goodbye to anime, for some reason there's always miracles to force me back into it over and over again. |

For the restaurant analogy to work, it would be that Mario tried a few dishes at a restaurant and liked it; he then either
1.) Assumed that all restaurants that serve that sort of food are good 2.) Assumed that all restaurants are good. That would be the equivalent roughly, for anime.

Madoka is the huge hit among anime fans from a little over a two years ago. Won the Anime Choice Awards for Best Anime of 2011, as well as a few other awards. Apparently Magical Girl + Faust = the new Evangelion. Slightly spoilerish AMV.
As for you're point about bad ones being more common I think that is incorrect. Rather the lack of internet meant that the really bad ones never made it outside of Japan. I'm sure there were plenty of horrible anime during the 80s and 90s. The situation right now is that you can't just say "Oh I like anime, lets watch whatever is on." You have to actually search through the shows, watch out for the little signals that a show is going to suck and drop those shows. Keep an ear open for what other people think are good shows, and ask for suggestions on this forum. No different from any other medium. Movies, general tv shows, you pretty much have to do that for everything nowdays.

What I meant that you don't need to delve into the philosophical themes to enjoy these anime properly. They have stories that can be taken and appreciated at face value. Whatever metaphorical imagery depicted is unimportant for the overall story. There may be important social and philosophical themes (I know SSY has them, but not sure about Madoka Magica), but they're not required to enjoy the story. Contrast this to Serial Experiments Lain, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Mawaru Penguindrum. These anime always throw strange, nonsensical situations at you, and it's up to you to interpret them. What does Akio's car represent? What is the child broiler? These are all important parts of the story, but they don't have an explicit meaning that is obvious to everyone. Hence, they're "deep". Sometimes too deep for me to the point that they make me feel like an idiot for not getting them. Watching something like SSY or Madoka Magica feels simple and non-challenging compared to that. |
