I wish there was cause the late 80s to early 2000s anime style was fucking peak with the amount of time invested in thick linework, color grading and highlighting but its difficult to search for shows with just the year alone. I guess Manga also had an "80s-90s" style considering how many of them started looking like shit after 2013.

The issue with modern manga is that it gets too overdetailed and gritty. The only exceptions I'm aware of are Digimon Dreamers and GaoGaiGar vs Betterman, but maybe that's because they use older styles.

You're smoking crack? I thought they were underdetailed and recycled. Demon slayer feels like generic shounen 101 (tanjiro is a pussy), Jujutsu Kaisen feels like a Naruto ripoff, MHA is mid, everything else is isekai out the ass and light novels everywhere or doujins ofc. It's amazing to think the pussy shounen jump of today which publishes crap like kagurabachi and roboco once published one of the most detailed and badass series possible in Fist of the north star or even something like slam dunk.

I continue to be baffled at how well Ninja Kamui is holding itself together. It's not particularly great or even good, but it still looks like a miracle compared to every other Toonami original.

That anime is surprisingly really good. They also have some cool cyborg ninjas. So its like the protagonist is being attacked by 4th Echelon from Splinter Cell or something. But could do without the chromatic aberration autism. It hurts my eyes.

Its also hilarious how many leaps and bounds cel shading 3D modeling techniques have made since then to help alleviate the amount of excessive detail most modern manga has down to the cellular level of anime titties at all times. They either don't give the artists enough time to properly implement them or don't care to try at all.

I've felt like the 3D has been bad for the most part. Honestly it's making for a "Honest old ways being replaced with ugly new ways" narrative more believable than Little Witch Academia's. Though yeah they should really cut down on the abuse of blur effects.

It has been overall terribly implemented across the animation industry. Though it can be done well. Halo Legends was good.
 
Got to Shogun Assassination Arc in Gintama. I'm really fucking hyped.

I watched the first Sand Land episode and the 3D works really well. Though Toriyama's artstyle has the advantage of being the one most tested on 3D to the point of being an artform.

KyoAni committed war crimes by abandoning their legacy IPs in favor of trash such as Dragon Maid and Hibike Euphonium.

Clannad: finished all material, most they could do is the spinoff and typically spinoff material doesn't get adapted.
Lucky Star: legit surprised they didn't adapt more of this, the IP is as far as I can massively profitable. Maybe it's because they made the ending too conclusive to continue it?
Haruhi: Endless Eight killed the anime. I can only assume the movie was insufficient to resurrect interest in the IP.
K-ON: Probably just dropped off. CGDCT is a genre with no shortage of competition.
Nichijou: flopped so bad it tangibly affected the studio's reputation as a whole. (shame, I liked it quite a bit)
Full Metal Panic: Different studio got the rights to it and made S3 back in '18.
I don't think they necessarily abandoned their IPs so much as did everything they realistically could with them, or in some cases just flat out misfired. I think it's inevitable that they were going to move on to different IPs, all of which so far seem to be running about as long as their predecessors.

A Tomoyo After adaptation I think would be a nice way to get on everyone's good graces again, though I don't believe they will ever again have the rights to another Key series. Which sucks ass, as the Little Busters! anime might not have bored me to sleep otherwise.

He had cool original designs for amuro, hero yui and other bandai leads.

I think even char got one. I was reading they have grunt units that blend technology from Gundam and votom.

Really criminal this never got in super robot wars much outside of the dreamcast version of alpha

G-Breaker and it's aborted TV anime deal and whatever legal fuckery is going on with it is also why the Super Robot Wars GC original mecha were all vastly changed when they showed up in Original Generation. Since a couple of them were literally just Okawara designs from G-Breaker. Hell, the music in the trailer is the Soul Saber theme from GC/XO.

I always wanted a continuation of Amagi Brilliant Park. Great setup and it got the usual season 1 not really conclusion.

Also to add another studio to the list of disappointment, Shaft's latest work I can remember was some gacha shit.

watched frieren because you faggots wouldn't shut up about it

Grexeno on Resetera said it was on par with Cowboy Bebop (Skip to 1:35:15). It's entirely possible that's recency bias, because he thought Onepunch Man was on par with pre-timeskip One Piece and Gurren Lagann before being forced to reevaluate in light of shows like Mob Psycho and Promised Neverland season 1.

Haven't watched Frieren yet. I've got a backlog of other shows I need to watch for the sake of their doujin archive - Gundam Seed/Destiny, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, the Konosuba movie, and Bleach's Fullbringer arc.

Cowboy Bepop is meandering with a few good episodes and one of the best finales I've ever seen. One-Punch Man is good and then just drags on and on. Pre-timeskip One Piece was pretty damn good. Gurren Lagann was so long ago. I need to rewatch it. But Moby Psycho is fantastic. Never saw Promised Neverland because le child genius shit is stupid.
