the only possible way for Anime to collapse is a) liberals completely infest it with their weird shit like the mpreg anime and there's nothing good left and b)liberals leave american shows and cartoons the fuck alone so they get good again.
I'd also like to mention Grendizer U feeling almost mocking of the source material at times (killing Casado, the random Jerry Springer episode they aired, and repeating Valvrave's ending are the big offenders). I was hoping Grendizer U would be a Dendoh FINAL, but it ended up being a soft remake of Dendoh (they even repeat many of the plot points) with Okouchi's hack writing. If this was the 90s it would have been a massive action-packed OVA like Getter Robo Armageddon.
For some reason nuanime backgrounds feel like claymation.
I'm not really so much talking about artistic quality. Budget doesn't mean a show is bad; some of the most influential anime ever were made on low budgets. I'm talking about lacking the skill to see a premise through to its end and ensure that new anime are solid pieces of work people can return to for years afterward. Random 80s shows like Dorvack are still beloved today; will you be able to say the same about My Hero Academia or Oshi No Ko or whatever FOTM in 40 years?
Goodbye, Eri ?
That's because anime's global popularity has resulted in just as many (or probably more) women getting into anime than men due to the stereotype of cutesiness. While I'm not opposed to anime being female wish-fulfillment -- lots of great anime like Gundam Wing and Chouja Raideen are female wish fulfillment -- I WILL use this as a jumping-off point to talk about how anime's globalization is shoving anime into an even smaller box of nonstop moe/romance, shonen adaptations, fanservice, and violence, and how this will kill anime. Stuff like Chainsaw Man and Dandadan are so popular among normies because they're many of the stereotypes of anime rolled into one, and saying that good/popular anime must subscribe to these degenerate and limiting standards will do nothing but hurt it in the long run. People get mad at this, but the shonen format isn't conducive to thoughtful, well-structured writing and worldbuilding, and most shonen manga that become classics do so through constant exposure, nostalgia, and marketing rather than quality. Anime feels so disposable and cheap nowadays because of this, and this is why we're getting so many formulaic shows per season. Combine this with global audiences heavily leaning towards all anime formats meant for temporary thrills (porn, shocking gore, and poorly-outlined shonen) rather than longlasting enjoyment to the extent that Chainsaw Man is mainly kept afloat by Westerners, and you're in for an anime bubble burst when normies smarten up and realize the nonsense of their preferred anime genres. Normies are already realizing this, which is why IRL weebs tend to lean more heavily towards gacha and Vtubers than actual anime, so in about 15 years the anime industry will probably be very small and do nothing but shonen adaptations and a rare romance OVA (bye-bye sci-fi) while stories that would have become anime are turned into gacha games and Vtuber kayfabe.
Did you see the original series?
Does FMA go over a different story? I thought FMAB was just a remake, lol
No, Brotherhood follows the manga while FMA deviates around episode 20-28 and becomes it's own story.
I think that would be the best as you would experience it as how myself and others did.
It's a solid series and either version is worth watching. 03 has an original ending since the manga was still running at the time, and Arakawa approved of the studio's interpretation of the homunculi and villains. Brotherhood is faithful to the manga. I prefer the atmosphere and consequences of 03.
