Do you agree that anime quality is degrading?

All you have to do is go out of your way to search for anime. There have been a number of very good anime this year, last year and there is going to be great anime next year. Nothing is degrading.

But why do you care? All you have to do is not watch them and pick the ones you like. This I agree because there's 50 anime being produced every season for no goddamn reason and the resources are being wasted instead of making just 10. Anyway of those 50 you probably already won't like 35, and you just need to decide on the rest which is pretty easy.

because there are many manga which have the potential of having a good anime
but they are not getting picked.
 
I don't think that's the case.
In every release, we usually have all the anime, mixed in. I really don't get why people believe that old stuff are the best

You can always read the manga you like instead of worrying about adaptations and you can always ignore things that you don't like or aren't for you.

Besides for a casual viewer at best there'll be 3 anime they like per season and more often than not they are either an Isekai or a shonen anime or a sequel.

I know and I'm saying there's always great anime coming every year. There's a lot of garbage sure but the great stuff aren't reducing.
 
Technically it's not, it's just a nature of technology that the most recent the better. What do you mean by too many stories? It's business strategy to cover various audience if you look from producer perspective
 
may be so
but the true story quality is decreasing gradually. i don't think it would mean much to many people.
 
I mean, I'm no expert in anime criticism, so I'm not gonna try and make some kind of objective judgment here... But the amount of anime I like from before 2010 vs. the amount I like from the 2010s... Yeah, the ratio is definitely leaning towards before 2010 here. Once you've experienced so many stories, any anime that tries to replicate a similar story you've already seen before, the lack of originality just stands out, and I couldn't be engaged nor entertained.

Also, newer anime tends to favor a cheaper kind of animation that lacked the distinct personality and style the older hand-drawn animation had back then, which is why the Higurashi and Digimon Adventure remake look so stale and boring compared to the dirtier and grittier look of their older selves, the kind that look like they were drawn by somebody with an artistic input, not rushed together to meet the studio deadline. Even Hellsing Ultimate, which was not really that old, had an interesting artstyle that you could instantly recognize.

I also couldn't find that many psychological or horror anime anymore. There's so many slice-of-life and crycore anime these days. I remember when we had stuff like Monster, Mushishi, Lain, Boogiepop Phantom, Ghost in the Shell, Higurashi, and Cowboy Bebop throughout the '90s to the early 2000s, the kind of adult-oriented titles that set the gold standard of anime and would come to inspire American media and revolutionize storytelling, the kind of anime that both anime and non-anime fans would hail as a true masterpiece, not just because of some superficial 'feels.' Where are the "Now and Then, Here and There"? The closest I've seen that came to being a unique anime in the 2010s was probably "Hourou Musuko" and "Kuuchuu Buranko", both very underrated anime overlooked by the majority, of course.

that's a cool opinion
usually people believe anything new is bad and everything old is no good
