Way back in 2011 I watched an anime called
Sacred Seven, and it was awful, so bad in fact I gave up on anime as a medium
for a long time and made a post here calling out Modern anime for being shitty
ecchi fanservice and nothing more.
Since then however I have gotten back into
anime full force, my kneejeck reaction to otaku pandering ended around 2012,
when I watched the brilliant Psycho-Pass.
Anime is stronger than it’s ever been; not
a comment to say lightly, but in the last few years I have not only watched
countless new anime but many old, classic shows.
Anime like Psycho-Pass, Ping-Pong, or Parasyte
set the bar for animation higher. Not just in presentation but in storytelling.
Sure there are still a lot of crappy pandering shows out there, but even the
fanservice shows have improved. High School DxD is one of the most pandering
ecchi fanservice shows I’ve seen in years, but it remains entertaining; because
it knows it’s stupid.
I hereby resend my opinion of modern anime
being shit, except sacred seven; that was just terrible.
