I've thought the same thing. In the past 5-7 years we've gotten such a massive deluge of anime that even if there's plenty of not that good ones, there's a crazy amount of great ones. It's just people only think of the good shows from the 2000s because it's been so long that they can filter out all the bad stuff, and say "hey, look at these 30 shows that are amazing in the 2000s, if only we had shows that good today in this amount!" when in reality 2-3 good shows came out a season, and 20-30 bad ones were paired with it that have been easily forgotten 10 years later.
No, clearly nostalgia is the correct way to go about this, and is the factual way.
Side note, realized part of why I like Bungou Stray Dogs is because it has a Black Cat vibe to it, and I really did love the Black Cat manga.
Bungou Stray Dogs/Black Cat spoilers abound for comparison sake-
Assassin/criminal (Train/Dazai) turns good guy after another person gives their life in an attempt to be a hero (Saya/Oda), ends up partnering up with someone who has good morals (Sven/Kunikida) and has their past haunt them due to not acknowledging a past ally (Creed/Akutagawa).
Granted, it's not a direct comparison of course, but similar!

Honestly I didn't expect to like Altera much, but after playing Extella she became one of my favourite Servants. Which says a lot considering how many there are these days.
I don't really like Nero or Tamamo (that much) so Altera basically carried the game for me.
Let us not forget we live in the glorious age of idol anime and an irregular at a magical high school battle harems
high school battle harems are old news, the new cool thing is 'normal guy gets thrown into a fantasy world!!! (with cute girls)'
true there haven't been so many lately but there's a few this season
I'm lazy, what is the anime up to for Attack on Titan?
I've read all the manga so far, but haven't bothered to touch the anime

attack on titan anime ep 31 hey eren, me and my bro here are the colossal and armored titan.
i could see why people would say that though because attack on titan anime ep 31 a really huge plot point was just thrown out there nonchalantly.
non related, still wondering why i'm banned from submitting support tickets on imgur. all I do is rudely tell them to take care of the fucking spam on their site.
