I wasn't counting the OP, i was the 10,000th "reply" i shoulda said i guess. And it depends how picky you are too i guess. I like pretty much any genre, and I don't watch more than a couple eps a day, so good ones never run out. ^^ Maybe they'll all get together and brainstorm up some more ideas, if everything is getting old now. | ||

You were the 10,000th reply, I was the 10,000th post. Anime sucks now because of Lucky Star. | ||

I'll try to elaborate with as little opinion as possible, which will be hard since the entire premise of the question is based on an opinion (whether or not anime sucks now or not). Lucky Star started a trend of producing moe-blob slice of life shows. Have you noticed a noticable drop on the darker, action oriented shows recently? Have you noticed a rise in the amount of life of life shows, or moeblob shows recently? You might be able to credit Haruhi with this (because Lucky Star was partly inspired by Haruhi IMO), but I wouldn't because IMO Haruhi was a good show. The context of my answer was to the question: "is it just me or is anime getting shittier by the year?" If you accept that anime sucks now, which is entirely opinion based, then you would think it sucks now because of current trends in anime. And the current trends in anime are pretty much what I talked about in the above paragraph. And then you just have to look at the source of the trend, which I see as Lucky Star. If you don't think anime is getting shittier by the year, then obviously you wouldn't agree with the statment "anime sucks because of Lucky Star", and you didn't agree with the premise of the question. | ||

That being said, my expectations for this winter season are low. I wish that wasn't the case, but it is. | ||

There were shows that I was excited about, but nothing good enough to keep my attention for an entire season. So I would agree with Sentenal's point of view, but I wouldn't say Lucky Star was the reason of doing so. I would credit to the fact that the recent economic decline puts a bigger part on the squeeze where profits are higher on the priority list. And if you think fundamental quality = profits, well then there's no point in going any further in the discussion. That being said, my expectations for this winter season are low. I wish that wasn't the case, but it is. I think I sort of agree. But I think it also ties into what I was saying, because it seems like shows like Lucky Star wouldn't require the effort or budget that a show like Gurren Lagann would require, and at the same time are still popular/would generate alot of profit. | ||

It's so great too; it just adds to her cuteness and awesomeness. I finished volume 2, which I'm guessing is where season one ends, since that's the end of the Shiori arc. I can't wait to get into the non-animated stuff :D | ||

The most you could hope for is a movie or something out of either of them. Or in Code Geass' case, manga. I don't see how they could pull off any further sequels on either of them, considering where they left off at the end. Maybe they could fit in some side storys or prequels for Geass. But any attempt at a sequel would be the second coming of Gundam SEED Destiny. I think there is a manga adaptation of Geass, actually. | ||

Meh, I probably wouldn't watch it anyways. I didn't even like the original that much, let alone season 2. | ||

I can't wait to get into the non-animated stuff :D FIRE TRUCKS. =D Season one, ideally, should resolve with the Shiori arc as there's literally no time left to cover Kusonoki. What I (and arguably other fans) am personally hoping is that if the second season does go underway, I really hope that it at least gets to + Show Spoiler + Haqua's arc + Show Spoiler + Though I wonder if the anime staff intend on introducing Tenri and Diana earlier than expected, given Apollo's insinuated presence in the Kanon arc; that would be pretty cool but they would have to really rush the other arcs in that case, and IIRC, Chihiro and Jun's arcs are amongst the longest arcs in KamiNomi.

You might be able to credit Haruhi with this (because Lucky Star was partly inspired by Haruhi IMO), but I wouldn't because IMO Haruhi was a good show. Personally: Haruhi somewhat started it. Lucky Star solidified it/continued it. Other smaller shows followed the trend (Kannagi/Minami-ke) K-ON! popularized the concept and made it solidly popular amongst mainstream audiences. Or in Starcraft terms (sorry if this offends anyone) to simplify matters, the trend's rising in modern anime can be comparable to the development of the Bisu Build: Haruhi = DaezanG Lucky Star/smaller slice-of-life series = Nal_rA K-ON! = Bisu (This is open to debate however: some can see Lucky Star in place of K-ON!, in which case K-ON! is considered to simply be the next carrier of the moe-centered slice-of-life trend, in which it can be reworked as: Haruhi = DaezanG + Nal_rA Lucky Star = Bisu K-ON! = Kal/free/mOvie/Stork/any modern successful Protoss). Personally Lucky Star wasn't too bad of a show and isn't the primary antagonist in the recent rise of moe-centered slice-of-life series; while it may have had a hand in its beginning moments, I think K-ON! is the largest offender of popularizing the said trend. Whether if its good or bad is a subjective opinion and is a seperate matter. However, I DO have a comment concerning the quality of the executions of anime series in the 2010 season: while debatable, there are strong signs of a particular trend gradually showing itself which if not quickly taken care of brings the quality of future anime series into question. The trend for 2010 series appears to be: -Strong, solid beginning with decent introductions and a promise to deliver a great storyline with characters possessing a lot of potential to be developed in various ways -Partial deviation from initial expectations/intentions/general developments, resulting in the gradual development of doubt, though the quality has not yet dropped to the point of being dropped on a large scale -Series either starts to completely lose its way or already has: character and plot development have taken a backseat in favor of filler material resulting in a feeling of the series simply being dragged on for no good reason and genuine interest in the series is lost -Series suddenly remembers that it had a plot but because of the unnecessary filler material that took up precious development time, the conclusions on the plot and characters becomes rushed and inconclusive as a whole; many questions are left unanswered, resulting in an unsatisfactory response from a good portion of the audience Granted not ALL series that have aired in 2010 are offenders of this case but it has been making itself more and more apparent as of late. The strongest offender of this trend this year as Angel Beats!, and currently airing series that are guilty of this are OreImo and Fortune Arterial (I would accuse MM!, but I just stopped taking it seriously after the Dragon Ball parody episode). tl;dr: 2010 wasn't a very strong year for anime. I hope 2011 strongly makes up for it. | ||
