So I guess I am kind of negative. I made a very uncynical post before, though!
Youāre entitled to your opinions! I was just surprised for some reason.
Good anime from 2011
-
Ben-To! (Dragonball but without powers or aliens and the dragonballs are replaced with discount box lunches. Itās hilarious, the fight scenes are excellent and the music is top-notch)
-
Level E (I canāt even begin to explain what this series is about other than āan alien prince comes to Earth and is kind of a dick to everybody and itās hilariousā)
Honorable Mention goes to Hyouge Mono for having a groovinā-ass OP theme (until the guy who wrote it got arrested for drugs)

havenāt seen either of these, so Iāll be sure to check them out.
A really amazing thing is you can walk into pretty much any Tsutaya and they will have really well curated sections of movies by type and director. There will be lots of interesting and arty films prominently displayed. But everyone you see in the store will be renting some trashy new movie or an American tv show.
Itās almost like people are different or something
Then why do they all rent the same things?
To see what all their friends/family are watching? I dunno, I donāt watch movies or tv, theyāre all pretty much pointless

Maybe it has something to do with there being only millions of movies/shows vs billions of people in the world?
I think these sorts of stores are aware of a perceived āgood tasteā and know their audience wants to see it present. They use a lot of space and hire curators to suggest that they are a store for people with āgood tasteā even though they know everyone is just going to rent the latest Marvel film and Avril Lavigne album.
I think they do this because those same people wouldnāt want to rent their Marvel film and Avril Lavigne album from a shop where they COULDNāT rent a weird new French film instead.The prominent curated selections validate their choices in a way that a store that only rented popular things wouldnāt.
You donāt find that interesting?
p.s:
Iām not really shitting on people for liking what they like, even though I guess thatās kind of the thread thesis.
Maybe (maybe!), just maybeā¦
they LIKE Marvel?
Thatās cool. I like some of those too.
What Iām trying to say is, if someone likes something you donāt, so what? There are people who think what you like is boring, stupid garbage.
If that genuinely upsets anyoneā¦ I guess my only advice is āget olderā?
Iām not sure if you noticed, but you seem to be having a shadow argument. You donāt have an opponent.
I do, I just havenāt named them (itās not you)
Itās more of aā¦ proxy argument.
it is interesting. We live in an unprecedented age of cheap to free access to media but people still all watch the same things. Exploring what has been made by people is easier than ever but we are stuck in a global monoculture where almost all the top 10 anime as voted are from no more than six years ago.

2000-2004 is kind of the era I watched anime most, well in a constantly binging sense. But the majority of it was scattered 90ās stuff, early DVD collections or movie releases of things that recently (then) had a NA release. Evey so often the occasional download or crude subbed VHS and bootlegs (worked through Excel Saga this way somehow).
Can we contrast with any sort of āTop 100 Anime 2010ā? 2005?
There was a 2005 list iirc
