Anime is losing its way? what was the last thing that you unironically enjoyed since Kill la Kill?
Yes it is, except for KyoAni
Anime hasn't created a better girl since 2013
Flying Witch was good.
I also enjoyed New Game, but it's probably not that good objectively.
For winter season, Grimgar was good, and it was not the only one, I also enjoyed other anime at times, for example Erased and even Dimension W.
>>710566365
Nothing will every reach TTGL and KlK.
>>710566365
This year just Rakugo, Luluco and Mob.
This season is terrible, nothing above mediocre.
>>710566365
Servant x Service was pretty good
Luluco, Keijo and Flip Flappers are genuinely good.
Flying witch was comfy as fuck, and color me impressed I'm actually enjoying Regalia(Lolis and mechas) I can't point out exactly what I like about regalia, but I guess it just clicks despite it making little sense.
>>710566365
This year it's Flip Flappers.
There is so much good stuff from pre-y2k on my watchlist that i don't give a shit
Also klk is basically Imaishi jerking off over what gainax did before him, all the good bits were ripped from ttgl/eva whatever
>>710566778
KlK has little to to with previous Gainax works, the sources of ispiration were others.
Cross Ange for wild ride experience
now Flip Flappers and Keijo are pretty interesting in their own weird way
Space Dandy and Ping Pong and Ghibli.
Nothing else good in my opinion. This year and last were terrible.
>>710566365
>enjoying anything unironically
it's like you don't even WANT to feel superior to people on an anonymous imageboard, OP
>>710566365
Luluco
>>710566828
Overall tone and plot points of the show felt pretty similar to ttgl, moreso than eva. The clothing being a spacefaring race that advances humanity to sentience is a pretty common thing in scifi but the way it's handled is similar to those shows.
I agree it had other influences as well, but most of those are too common to point to one specific thing (the generic af story of her father, senketsu being an empathic armor (though it is more often the weapon i'll admit), the 'tournament' structure from every battle shounen ever etc) and those two stood out the most to me.
Nice rec thread faggot.
>>710567111
>Overall tone and plot points of the show felt pretty similar to ttgl
Not really, TTGL is more comedic at the beginning and more dramatic in the second half than KLK ever was.
I guess it has the same kind of structure with first a second half that mirrors each others and shocking revelations at 2/3 of the show.
>The clothing being a spacefaring race that advances humanity to sentience
That was ripped straight from 2001, there was even a visual reference.
As for the rest of the plot point you mentioned, many of them are from Mazinger (that was ispiration for Eva too) and Cutie Honey. Then there are other Nagai works like Devilman, Kekko Kamen and Shameless School, then Utena, Blazing Transfert Student and the usual Dezaki series.

>>710566365
welcome to nhk watched it in 2 days, felt sad when it was over
>>710566365
Flip Flapping, since that's the last thing I watched today.
>>710567300
Point taken, but the original argument of KLK being derivative still stands.
On a side note, is Mazinger worth watching? I know it's influence is pretty widespread, but on its own is it a Beatles situation where it did a lot of things first or is it unique enough even considering its derivates? Because i have the feeling it's the former, in which case i just don't want to watch it
>>710566365
Sound Eupho. Also, I didn't even like Kill La Kill.
Ange Vierge.
BNHA> Overrated Kill La Kill.
>>710567537
Gainax has been about otakus taking bits from their favorites and putting them together since the beginning. It doesn't get more derivative than Gunbuster.
For Go Nagai, you should always read the manga. The anime adaptions are always watered down and neutered compared to the originals.
>>710567537
>On a side note, is Mazinger worth watching?
Only with crabstick subs.
Im liking God eater so far
>>710566541
But which one was better?
>>710566365
Kill la Kill was fine. Nothing amazing. The one "recent" anime I enjoyed was Heavy Object, a series I only picked up because of curiosity of the extremely hot Froleytia (or however the fuck you spell her name) but ended up absolutely loving it because of completely different reasons. Those reasons were the absolutely based bro MCs, Qwenthur and Hevia. A truly awesome bromance and their crazy tactics and guts.I remember one episode that took place at a dam and the two of them come with a plan over radio and say the exact same thing to each other and I pumped my fists in "Fuck Yeah!" moment. I highly recommend checking it out.
I thought KLK saved animu though?
>>710568012
Putting pieces together is fine imo, if the way you put them together works in an original way. I don't really have an example in anime because, well, i'm still going through the great older stuff.
I'll have a go at the Mazinger manga, thanks.
Kill la Kill wasn't that good.
>>710566740

When is their next big show? Will they ever top KLK?
/a/ has been saying anime is now shit ever since 4chan was created.
Therefore, anime is not "losing its way" because it has always been shit.
>>710566365
But I didn't enjoy Shit la shit.

Why would I use Kill la Kill as a benchmark for things I enjoyed?

I didn't like Kill La Kill
My favorite recent anime has to be Mob Psycho 100; stellar adaptation and stand alone anime
>>710566365
well im a big dbz fan scene the time I torrented from /t/ the whole series of dragon ball and Z, Super is honestly the only large af series I have been excited for and actually watch enjoyably and hype for.
Still has that plot going for it un-like a lot of ecchi anime, and DBS tho shitty art in some parts, some of the new fights actually show some cool shit.

>>710566365
>what was the last thing that you unironically enjoyed since Kill la Kill?
>not so subtle rec thread
I'll humor you, OP: Flip Flappers, ConRevo and Ping Pong. There were some other great shows, but those are the ones I remember enjoying the most.
>>710571762
The light novel is up to date, and plus we's talkin about animu not mangoes
>>710566365
I haven't enjoyed anything nearly as much, but Rolling Girls has probably been my second favorite thing to air since then, with Shimoneta a somewhat distant third.
>>710566365
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure season 4(Diamond is Unbreakable) is good shit too, plus One Punch Man was cool.

I get it, you added "since Kill la Kill" even though it has basically no impact on the sentence, just to encourage shitposting! Great thread, OP.
Mob psycho 100 is fantastic imo. Animation is really good in the fight scenes, and the story really makes you feel for the characters. I like it more than opm.

Citizen Kane is overrated. Why should I give a shit about some rich asshole being unhappy?
Also, going that far back, you have to make sure to adjust viewership numbers to the population size.
Teekyuu
I don't know how anyone can consider KLK a good show. The animation was garbage. The plot was generic and predictable to the point where it had powerlevels and a tournament arc. The attempts at slapstick weren't any good either. It certainly isn't the best show in the last five years or whatever you claim it is.
Satsuki was great though. Too many good girls trapped in bad shows.
Strange, I have enjoyed multiple (TONS) shows since KLK. The amount of people in this thread who think KLK was anything but flavor of the month garbage is astounding.
Next thing people are going to start saying it has good writing, which I think at the same time the 4 horseman from Revelations should come down and slaughter the earth.
anime has always been between 98% - 85% total fucking garbage.
the Ero-anime can be pretty decent once in a while story wise, in some rare cases even way fucking better.

There are plenty of great anime out there, with many more great ones being produced. You just have to look away from the mainstream.
>>710566365
Kill la Kill is the worst anime I've ever seen. Entertaining, it was not. It's just a poor excuse for western cartoony physics and piss-poor fanservice. Trigger really dropped the ball on it. After that, they scrambled for the most cliche of harem anime. It's an indication of how disappointed they were with KLK's performance.
>>710575250
>Entertaining, it was not.
hahahahaha what the fuck sort of gay as fag bitch writes like that. hahahahahah eat shit you fuck

The fanservice in Kill la Kill is a parody of fanservice, and not genuine serious fanservice. Kill la Kill just a very effective commentary on anime as a medium and that's one of the ways it does it. It presents the same ideas as other anime in a way that isn't as cringey because it feels like a statement of intent rather than a grab for popularity. Kill la Kill has no modesty whatsoever

Of course KLK would seem derivative, it's a satire.
It references tropes and themes from other anime and manga and then skewers them.
For example:
Common trope of a high school somehow being the epicenter of some large event, or high school being the most important thing in characters' lives: let's have the high school literally take over and destroy the world.
Trope of every woman wearing ridiculously sexy and non-functional outfits and armaments: let's make it so their clothes have to be as tiny as possible otherwise they die, and then call them exhibitionists for good measure.
Trope of making anime overly stylized to the detriment of plot and good storytelling: let's make the entire show about fashion and fucking crazy ass clothing that looks badass and gets crazier looking the more powerful and flashier it gets.

If you're a faggot, or like figure skating and don't mind faggotry, Yuri on Ice actually is actually okay. Decent love story and the figure skating is pretty well animated. Gay as fuck though.
If you don't care for faggotry Mob Psycho 100 is fantastic. I'm excited for Natsume because it's nice and relaxing after a stressful day at work.
If you haven't watched it, watch Mononoke (not Princess, it's about a medicine seller). It's not new but it's a fucking trip and most people haven't seen it.

Stupid way to frame this topic OP.
>Remember when all of 3 years ago when anime hadn't lost it's way?
Anime is subjective season to season year to year. Like draft picks in sports there are a few winners worth picking every season usually although there is sometimes nothing worth watching. And if you didn't enjoy the excellent character development of parasyte: the maxim and you like the very basic bitch cookie cutter kill la kill then nothing can help you.

There is no other reason to watch anime than to dip into absurdism, humanism, and existentialism. Every other theme is fucking garbage.

Anime: Boku no hero academia was good, though I think the manga had better pacing.
