Seriously contemplating doing a piece on the 10 best anime I've seen in this decade. Wondering if it'd be worth writing though...

Might be the best suggestion. I have 16 candidates for my own listings, and am anticipating placing the new Space Battleship Yamato movie on here at some point. Going to have to do some whittling on here me-thinks.

If you want to make the list, do it. Don't worry if anyone else will care. They might. They might not. Shrug.

But I gotta ask, how can you assume the new Yamato film will rate as a "best" of the decade, when it's not even out yet?

I guess you can, because you can. But it could well be the next 2520. Given the Yamato track record since Final, definitely worth a wait and see in my opinion.

Anyway, I haven't watched much anime in the last decade. Now that I am free of AWA, actually, you know, watching this stuff once in a while, is one of the things I hope to do. Or I can just do whatever I want. Awesome feeling.

LOL I gotcha. Yamato might not be that great but I'm liking what I see in the trailer so far, as a return to old-school style angst and action. Not sure where it'll rank but I'm leaving the possibilities open... and hoping this won't be 2520 again. gah!

I'd read it. I haven't seen much anime in years, and now that damn near everything is being shipped to the U.S., the quality filter has long since vanished. ;-)

Just 'cause you write it doesn't mean you have to publish it. Maybe think of it as an exercise, just something to hone your writing skills or something.

Saw the explosion and then implosion of the anime market and industry. And since there has been so much dreck being licensed during the boom + Japanese companies becoming less likely to invest in anything longer than 13-24 episodes, I think the best titles of the 90s probably would still fare better than the best titles of the 00s.

But I've been out of the game way too long, so what do I really know?

LOL

Actually, I took a step back and thought about the stuff I really liked in this decade even through all the economic problems and such and realized I liked 20 titles, some of which will probably never the light of day here, others which were good but not profitable others still were pretty popular. Think i'm going to limit it to 15 titles and 5 honorable mentions.
