Why is anime so shit this year?

Will the BO eventually have banner submissions?

>>60 After the initial novelty of anime wears off, and you start branching out and paying closer attention to the quality of shows (like the depth and originality of the storyline, or how well the show's animated), most new shows seem like shitty, generic, cliche-filled cashgrabs. People were saying the same thing 10 years ago on 4/a/, 20 years ago on anime forums, and 30 years ago on usenet. The solution is to just stop watching 20 shows per season, and only watch the few that you find genuinely intriguing or entertaining. If there's only a couple that you like, fill in the gaps by watching older shows that you might have missed or overlooked.

>>79 Do what I do: intersperse it with Japanese, Korean and Chinese cult cinema and television series (ideally a range of genres and styles) in order to avoid burnout.

>>79 >After the initial novelty of anime wears off (...) most new shows seem like shitty, generic, cliche-filled cashgrabs ? Have you perhaps considered that you just MIGHT not actually like anime? If you really feel this way you should go home to whatever poz pasture you came from!

Is there any place akin to the Genesis Library where I can get all the anime and manga I want online for free?

>>56 Why do people like clamp so much? Is it because they are all girls?

>>357 Also, what is written on the bat in xxxholic? I am watching the dub and don't feel like finding the sub video and the Internet was slow at the time I saw the scene and I moved on the next day and etc. What is it? Sword? My Internet search had something named batto, so it's like saying y at the end of something in English? like, batty, but that doesn't work with bats because of the flying rodent.... so, like, just as a suffix meaning of itself? yeah? This bat is a bat? Or dose it say katana because that'd be more clever and cool but less funni.

If anyone can see this, is the new release of Shaman King by Kodansha fully uncensored?
