  1. No, if you've been watching anime long enough, you know what I'm talking about. There is a lot of mediocre shows in any year, but that ratio is definitely increasing, the chance of finding a good anime in every season now is as slim as none. Not only that, some genres such as Josei are disappearing, as we see fewer mature or creative settings, fewer original or experimental anime, and more generic high school stuff or continuation/remakes of existing ones. The only good year since the start of this decade is 2011 where anime made a comeback with F/Z, S;G, Madoka, Usagi Drop, etc. but other than that year, it's mostly a downhill ride. The anime audience is obviously changing as well, a show like SAO won't nearly have as much weighted popularity if it aired a decade ago, but its hard to blame it on them or the industry in this cycle. Take the best shows this season, spring last year, and spring 2006. Spring 2006: - Aria the Natural (Continuation) - Black Lagoon - Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni - Gintama - Ouran High School Host Club - Nana - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - xxxHolic Spring 2014: - Mushishi Zoku Shou (Continuation) - Black Bullet? Mahouka? Spring 2015: - Fate Stay Night UBW (Remake) - Gintama (Continuation) - Free? Nisekoi? Nagato Yuki? Deny all you want, but it's a sad truth...
  2. the blues and elves, yknow what im talking about
  3. anime has degraded over the years. i cant think of any serious romance anime from the recent years, mostly high school comedy ecchi or generic shoujo crap. to put it in perspective then (2005-09): and now... (2012-15)
  4. looks like a pretty generic list of broad terms that sadly half of vn protagonists are centered around.
  5. i read vns when i fly above the atlantic ocean
  6. PS3s are really cheap nowadays, you might as well buy one then sell it
  7. one of the best manga i've read, my only complaint is the crappy final arc they gave us after 2 years waiting.
  8. and mizutsuki composing the soundtracks, I'm sold. http://ustrack.amuse-c.jp/ apparently, ustrack is amusecraft's new child company, makes me wonder what happened to qoobrand though.
  9. FIFA 15 there's some baseball in Little Busters, over the top martial arts in Majikoi if that counts, some boxing in あしたの雪之丞, some badminton in できない私がくり返す, etc. though in all cases the sport itself isn't the focus, you're looking in the wrong medium, better play some video games instead.
  10. No, you won't enjoy a VN in that state of mind anyway, go do something else instead.
  11. too chuuni, also requires a big budget for a decent adaptation given all the action and effects.
  12. dont like it if it means sprites wont change expressions. eg. muramasa, yumina
  13. like every other vn nowadays
  14. vndb has an "has anime" filter. also, wrong section of forum
  15. ubw ep.2 blond brat is back with his floating gtx titans lol
