    Do you have examples of previous decade(s) shows that hit this mark?

    Because if you say Noein or Naruto, we have an irreconcilable different of opinion.

    This is difficult, because often times, it's the actually interesting story that elevates the animation, be it due to scene composition or actual design content of a scene. For example, even if the animation on a technical level isn't better in older anime, the stuff you are shown is visually more exciting than the n-th classroom or generic Japanese sight.

    As for your examples, I would absolutely call Noein's animation a standout, it has both a unique artstyle and a "living" feel to its animation where stuff is always moving, and the fighting scenes are phenomenal. Naruto is generic and doesn't deserve any special mention, outside of rare episodes like Rock Lee vs Gaara, Rock Lee vs Kimimarou or Naruto vs. Sasuke.

    But if I had to name a few anime from various genres that I think stand out animation-wise:

    - True Tears (I haven't seen that level of detail and smooth animation in a romance anime since)
    - Tenjou Tenge (its animation has such "springiness", similar to, say, Ranma 1/2, except with more realistic character designs)
    - Eureka Seven (still sad we never got a good video game)
    - Air Gear
    - Death Note
    - Fushigi no Umi no Nadia
    - Highschool of the Dead
    - Oreimo
    - Hanasaku Iroha

    And those are only the somewhat newer ones. If went back to the Golden Age, then anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Agent Aika, Golden Boy, Vision of Escaflowne, and such would decimate today's anime.

    Guys, feel free to make threads for new anime you watched at least an episode. Even if you quit it later on, a thread doesnt hurt. We need some more activity here! <3

    Unnamed Memory Episode 1:

    So first we get a Goblin-anime where goblins are made to not behave like goblins. And now we get a fantasy-anime where everyone knows that the witch kills those who fail to climb the tower, and immediately we learn: that was all fake, they all survive, just have their memory changed.

    What is it with modern anime where we can't have stories with CONSEQUENCES anymore? Everything seems to get sanitized so every character is morally clean, no viewer gets challenged, nothing of surprise happens. :/

    Because I point out proper flaws?

    Anyway, just skimmed through episode 2 of Unnamed Hero, dropped. I won't put up with entirely generic shows this season.

    Sure, but all the worst, cheapest writing choices come together in this.

    I went back to watch Yuru Camp S3E1, and the thing they're doing with using real life background with animated character in the foreground is really off-putting. Then they use real footage and "anime-style" it, it can look great. But here they barely stylised the background at all, and having anime foreground, real background just looks shit.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
