Yes but had you seen those earth-shattering classics when they were released, when they were light-years ahead of their time, I think you'd see a difference between how great those were and how good the current stuff is. I think the true test will be in another 10-15 years, will you remember the current anime the way people remember the classics even 30 years later?
