Re: why did anime turn into...that?

[(Anonymous)]

Anime has definitely changed and moe is a bigger thing than it used to be, but as others said, the kind of anime you want is still being made lots of. I don't even think there's less of it than before. It's just that it used to seem like more because it's what most of the the anime that got brought overseas was. Nowadays pretty much all anime is accessible, but there was always specific pandering anime that would make most people say "what's the appeal of this?" and the difference was we didn't know about it because it never left Japan.

Exactly. There's always been darker, grittier anime being made, you just may not have heard of it because a lot of it tends not to get the same level of press as the big popular shows. What you hear about most are generally the shows with the broadest appeal, and those tend to be stuff like shonen series, magical girl series, slice of life series, mecha series, etc.

But to add to the list above, darker/more adult-themed shows that I've either seen myself or heard about over the years:

Devilman Crybaby, Monster, Paranoia Agent, Bokurano, Wolf's Rain, Le Chevalier D'Eon, Psycho-Pass, FMA 2003, Guilty Crown, Higurashi No Naku Koro ni (and its sequels), Umineko no Naku Koro ni, Shiki, Hellsing, King's Game, Vampire Hunter D, Gunslinger Girl, Noir, Witch Hunter Robin, Mirai Nikki, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Ghost in the Shell, Erased, The Promised Neverland, Elfen Lied, Deadman Wonderland, Saikano, Terror in Resonance, Black Lagoon, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Jyu-Oh-Sei, Inuyashiki, Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace, Another, Blade of the Immortal, Darwin's Game, Ga-Rei: Zero, Ninja Scroll, Banana Fish, Serial Experiments Lain, Texchnolyze, Death Note, Akame ga Kill, Ergo Proxy, Fate/Zero, Jormungand, Gankutsuou, Vampire Princess Miyu, Basilisk, Now and Then Here and There, Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works & the Heaven's Feel movies, Parasyte, X/1999, Gundam 08th MS Team, Shadows House, and I'm sure there are a ton more that I can't remember right now.

NAYRT
I usually read and prefer manga, but I've seen (or read) almost all of these!

I have to say that these are great series that everyone should see for one reason or another:
-Ergo Proxy
-Serial Experiments Lain
-Vampire Hunter D (THAT BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION OMG)
-Gankutsuou
-Devilman Crybaby (Probably the least accessible in term of animation, but I loved how the adapted the story, and yes, even the animation style itself)

Wolf's Rain and Psycho-Pass are great, too!
Monster is on of my favourite manga ever, but I have not seen the anime so IDK if it's good, but the story is based on is amazing.
