Why is all new anime trash?

maybe its nostalgia and outgrowing anime(im 17 now) but I dont think there has actually been anything good created since around 2006(code geass).

does anyone else feel the same way?

Update:

Where is all the creative stuff like

death note

trigun

dragon ball

full metal alchemist

ouran highschool host club

elfen lied

monster

pokemon

zoids

I know ive left out alot but I cant mention all of them

Update 2:

    Reasons all new anime are trashes:

    1. Nice themes are already taken up

    - For example,

    if a writer published a story with the same sad/inspiring theme like clannad. People might say that "it is a rip off".

    - Zero No Tsukaima

    Please says that it is a rip off of harry potter.

    2. It depends of the viewers taste

    You like:

    death note

    trigun

    dragon ball

    full metal alchemist

    ouran highschool host club

    elfen lied

    monster

    pokemon

    zoids

    But on the other hand people may say they suck. ( I doubt)

    3. Underrated Anime - Try searching for one!

    - I always search over the net for new anime, not just new but the old ones. I scuffled over the net and discovered Death note calibre type of anime etc THAT IS RANKED 500- 1000+. wth.

    4. Seasonal genre: TOO MUCH HAREM!

    - Yeah, over the years, harem types of anime increases. CAUSE? such is the taste of many people is turning to harem. Now, I noticed that it starting to shift into IMOUTO obsession.

    I agree with you...I feel that every year only ONE to TWO exceptional anime(s) is being produced while others are crap.

    Not all of them are. It depends on personal taste.

    Puella Magi Madoka Magika was great and had a ton of unexpected twists. That was original. Even shows that take a bunch of old concepts and mash them together are nice, like Baka to Test. There are a ton of recent animes that I enjoyed. Plus, the animes you've listed are also kinda recent if you compare them to how long anime's been around. Pokemon's lost its touch in recent years and I can name a hundred animes that I think are better than the current season of Pokemon.

    No. I do not feel the same way you do. I have found several anime that are great and are new. Blood-C, Guilty Crown, No.6, Usagi Drop, Angel Beats!, Skip Beat!, 07-Ghost, Earl and Fairy, Hetalia - Axis Powers, Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan, Hiyokoi, Kobato, and thats just to name a few.

    Not true! My favourite anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was made in 2009.

    Maybe you're just looking in the wrong place

    There's still good anime, examples:

    Steins Gate - rated number 3 on myanimelist.com top anime AND it came out last spring

    Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai - rated number 23 on myanimelist.com top anime this one also came out this past year

    Natsume Yuujinchou - I've heard some pretty good things about this one and it came out in 2008

    Durarara - Fantastic anime, I love it and it came out in 2010

    Toradora! - One of the best romance anime (right behind Clannad) I've ever watched, it came out in 2008

    Angel Beats - Short but good, came out in 2010

    Clannad - Best. Anime. Ever. It will make you cry, came out in 2007

    Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - Fantastic remake of Fullmetal Alchemist, follows the manga almost perfectly, came out in 2009

    Vampire Knight - Not the greatest but still good, came out in 2008

    Skip Beat - A unique funny anime even if it did come out in 2008

    No. 6 - This one turned out pretty good and was unique came out this year as well

    Kuroshitsuji - Fantastic anime, came out in 2008

    Also just because an anime does not suit your tastes does not mean that nothing good has been created of late and it has nothing to do with "out growing" anime you cannot "out grow" anime. I'm also seventeen (going to turn eighteen in five months) and I can still find good anime.

    no more creativity... the majority of good ideas have been taken

    try Gantz, and Eureka 7, i loved those

    everythings about how to make money now...

    anime studios just going with the stories that will benefit them the most...

    only old school folks like oshii and miyazaki are not going with the trend...

  • 9 years ago

    i was thinking the same thing until i watched Mirai Nikki, and Ao no Exorcist.

    depending on what kind of intrests you have you will probably like them.
