The new Tendou Souji
Personally, I'd take cutesy moe stuff like Clannad, Ika-Musume, etc over having boobs and panty-shots (Hi Kanokon!) shoved in my face every few minutes.
AM i a bad person for not likeing Anime anymore?

Yeah you're right I worded that wrong. Those are some of the things you see in today's anime :sweat:

I'd say it's like maybe 60-40 on the moe side being less nowadays. Not completely gone, but I can at least say other stuff is comnig (I remember like two years ago, when there were seasonal charts and about three entire rows of shows were fanservice anime. *yeesh*)
God, I hate Kanokon. Totally dropped that ****.
Yeah, I pretty much agree with this.

I thought it was a hyperbole, since it's obvious that it's not the only thing in today's anime...

Hey, sometimes people are completely serious about that and really don't look at other stuff outside of the overly-penetrating moe anime.

There's just so much of it. It gets hard to even try and find what anime's are worth watching each season.

I've been wanting to answer this question from someone for a while now.
No, you're not a bad person, you were just sold a lie. Late 90's to early 2000 television, and really anime companies in general sold us a lie, making us believe that every series and movie was a Macross, or an Akira. That isn't true now, and it was not true then.
The only thing is, back then they sifted through the crap to bring you the great stuff. For various reasons, they don't do that anymore--so now you have to do the sifting yourself. You're a big boy though, and it's pretty easy if you have the right resources and care to look.
The only thing that bugs me is when people try to say that all anime sucks "now" as if it's a fact, when the truth is most people are just too lazy to look for better stuff. Like romance? Try Kimi ni Todoke. Like shounen? Fairy Tail. Giant robots? Gundam Unicorn. Still (for whatever reason) a fan of kids anime? Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's is one of the best ones ever made.
Nothing NEW on you want to watch? Anime's WAY older than you--go through the archives, find your own buried gem.
There's WAY too much anime out for people to just pretend like good ones aren't made anymore and they found all the great ones from the past.
...How hard is it to read a chart?

But that's why you have to see for yourself instead of writing it off. It looks tough but it's really not. You can even read a plot description and find out if it's for you, but still, you have to at least try to look. When it comes down to it, there is something that is good, or at least watchable that isn't a fanservice-based anime.
BTW, I'm counting seven moe/fanservice for Spring season out of the 35 new shows airing. I really don't think that's so bad.
Also, back to the beginning for a sec, you know what I also think is a good show that I love? Letter Bee. That just got it's sequel with "Reverse."
There's something I want to add, you know how it seems like a lot of shows from the "old days" are good? That's because you're looking at those shows that are heavily hyped and actually are good. For the amount of crappy anime that are out now, there was still bad stuff back then too.

Wow, we really agree on a lot of stuff huh?

A lot of past anime isn't subbed, and we are talking about current anime. That is what this subject is about. If you want to talk about good older anime, maybe you should make a thread for that.

I usually watch the first episode of each new anime for each new season. Letter Bee was pretty good. I need to finish it. Also I know of another that I am loving. Yumeiro Patasierre Professional.
