That's what I hope about 90% of all anime made in the past 10 years :/

Although it's terrible either way, sigh.

I know I'm repeat-ranting, but last night I reminisced about several old anime. Claymore, Dennou Coil, Gantz, and others. It feels like modern anime-makers (or the mangaka writing the stories that get adapted) have completely forgotten how to tell GOOD stories. Now it's all about singular "cool" scenes, some marketable gimmick and an utmost generic artstyle that doesn't offend anyone. I really refuse any notion of "everything used to be better back then"-boomer accusations, because at least for anime, it's simply true. Anime used to be so much better. And I haven't even mentioned the good stuff like Ghibli-movies, Akira, Armitage, and all the lesser known yet gorgeous anime. Heck, even ecchi anime was higher quality in the past, see Golden Boy or Agent Aika. Rant end.
