  • I’m going to sound like an old ass, hating, “In my day things were better” gruff but anime before it got popular was better. I feel it’s gotten a lot more corporate. Themes in anime have gotten so safe and Shonen has completely taken over all other catogories. I feel you don’t get the popularity of anime like cowboy bebop, Ghost in the Shell, or EVA today because there’s no marketable character mascots or easily digestible story telling. It reminds me of music in the 90s. LeSs experimentation and creativity and more “WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SELL MERCHANDISE!”

    That being said I acknowledge how much merchandise EVA sold so it’s not completely black and white
