Present-Day Anime Animation

[CosmicLoop]

Yeah....I have to agree with the "recent new shows are too similar" thing.... even with anime. It seems like with nearly every anime that suddenly pops up and starts trending (except OPM and Sailor Moon Crystal) is some kind of moe/slice-of-life/harem looking thing, with a similar style, semi-forgettable or bland designs, etc. Alot of it feels....empty. What happened to the days where you could easily spot out an anime character/series, and alot had their own style and recognizable design......I mean I get if you wanna be cute, but you can still be expressive/unique AND cute, if you try. But like people are saying, if you're being rushed to make an animated show just because of the high-demand, I guess you really wouldn't have time to dive into the more unique things. At this point it's probably just "hey guys, '16 years old and with 20 girlfriends' was really popular, let's make a show just like that!!"

In terms of cartoons, I've really just stopped watching TV because it doesn't feel like anything interesting is really on anymore, besides Spongebob. Plus it feels like 90% of the (what WAS) cartoon channels feel like just cheap unfunny "sitcoms" that too feel like bland clones. Honestly I don't even know what toons are on those anymore besides Spongebob, FoP, Gumball, Adventure Time/Regular Show and Steven Universe. Everything else seems forgettable, unless it reaches that "so bad everyone starts talking about it" status.
