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.
>>710620576
Nothing will every reach TTGL and KlK.
>>710620576
This year just Rakugo, Luluco and Mob.
This season is terrible, nothing above mediocre.
>>710620576
Servant x Service was pretty good
>>710620576
The nutshack
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.
>>710620576
This year it's Flip Flappers.
>>710620576
One Punch Man
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
>>710620576
>enjoying klk
Kill la kill yourself.
>>710620576
its only been like 4 years since that show even came out
thats not a very long time to work with, lots of shows from around that time are better
hxh for instance, and one punch man are both superior, as is (in my humble opinion" watamote
>>710621249
KlK has little to to with previous Gainax works, the sources of ispiration were others.
>>710621289
Cross Ange for wild ride experience
now Flip Flappers and Keijo are pretty interesting in their own weird way
>>710620576
Drifters from Kouta Hirano, the creator of Hellsing.
Space Dandy and Ping Pong and Ghibli.
Nothing else good in my opinion. This year and last were terrible.
>>710620576
>enjoying anything unironically
it's like you don't even WANT to feel superior to people on an anonymous imageboard, OP
>>710620659
Ikr, what happened to all the good waifus?
>>710620576
Luluco
>>710621357
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.
>>710621136
This man knows
boku no hero academia was fine sakamoto desu ga also was fine re zero was also pretty okay
bungou stray dogs is noice there are alot of good ones you just have to look
>>710620576
jojo and keijo
Nice rec thread faggot.
>>710621792
>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.
>>710620941
I tried to watch it unironically and dude, that show really is the worst cartoon ever made. It doesn't deserve to be a meme, forced or not.
To be hero
Gurren Lagann was dope. Now that Shippuden is done, I also really enjoyed its storyline and the weaving of things from many religions/mythologies.
>>710620576
Flip Flapping, since that's the last thing I watched today.
>>710621914
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
>>710620576
U kidding? One punch man, mob psycho, my hero academia, food wars
>>710620576
Sound Eupho. Also, I didn't even like Kill La Kill.
>>710622123
>one man punch
>not over hyped shit
Ange Vierge.
BNHA> Overrated Kill La Kill.
>>710622240
Best show I've seen since Monster. Perfect blend of comedy, action, and shonen cheese
>>710622122
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.
>>710622122
>On a side note, is Mazinger worth watching?
Only with crabstick subs.
>>710620768
But which one was better?
>>710620576
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.
>>710622608
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.

I don't remember anything of the OST. Which means it was unremarkable.
/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.
I'm currently watching RWBY, its an awesome show

Heavy Object. Before that it was probably NNB Repeat and Ninja Slayer.
>>710620576
>what was the last thing that you unironically enjoyed since Kill la Kill?

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.
>>710620576
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.

Also, going that far back, you have to make sure to adjust viewership numbers to the population size.

>>710627963
Wat?
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.
>>710628204
Yeah man, Fritz the Cat.
Kill la Kill wasn't even that good. Is this seriously the best anime has to offer now?

>>710620576
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.

>>710628957
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

KlK really wanted to be TTGL and fell short of it. I thought the idea of setting the bar THAT low was to make it easy to meet your own expectations but I think Trigger gives themselves too much credit, but they'll probably have a hard time finding a worse anime to imitate for their next blunder.

I don't just like a set genre, I like individual shows. I could stomach yugioh, but not dx or 5d. I like dragonball, but not super or naruto for example
my dead friend got me into watching elven leid, but I couldn't stand fairy tail. I like to love ru, but not hsotd.
one piece was bad to me, and death note was overrated.
aki sora was weird but enjoyable for the seriousness
one punch man is okay. the hype kills it however.
keijo!!!!! I watch for a good laugh at shit like eating ass or frontbutt attacks.
