I think the textbook said that it’s enough to say that.

I might have misled you about around 2050.

There was a time when there were only a few amazing late-night anime.

About one a week.

>>4

Late-night anime itself is a movement that came after things like Evangelion…

A somewhat heavy color scheme with a slightly aesthetic image.

Watch Argento Soma.

It’s been said since long ago that it’s Eva’s fault…

I remember a creator wrote in a message contributing to Anime Gunparade, thanking for making it a warm anime amidst the increase of dark and complex anime since Eva.

>>11

There have been more Shinkai-style animations in commercials and such.

Was there a time when anime wasn’t interesting?

It’s not wrong to say that Eva hit at the right time with the era.

Even erotic anime was influenced by Evangelion.

The erotica game boom is roughly around that time.

When it becomes popular, companies unrelated to the anime industry…

Anime is profitable! That’s why they come together…

It’s strange that real estate agents during the OVA and rental boom were into investments.

Shall I watch… Blue Gender…?

A time when it was thought that wrapping up a story nicely was a bad thing.

I can’t forget that expression.

>>23

It’s an unknown era.

I have the impression that many dramas in the 90s were quirky masterpieces that weren’t aimed at mass appeal and had a sharp sense of style.

The thread image has a relatively good ending…

>>26

The beautiful girl turned out to be an old woman?

A time when it was more enjoyable to be complicated.

What I still like now is

It’s that Witch Hunter Robin…

When Hathaway became popular, I was the only one with a smug face.

>>30

I had gone to see the massacre device before that…

Just watch Generator Gaul.

I always get confused whether it was the TV version or the movie version that had a nice ending.

Both have happy endings, though.

You like something like Leviathan, right?

I understand…

I can’t forget “Wolf’s Rain” for its bizarre worldview and tragic ending.

Wolf’s Rain had a reincarnation ending, so it’s not so bad… Everyone died, though.

The era when Fuji TV anime is not broadcast on TV in the final stages.

>>37

Wolf’s Rain

Samurai Champloo

Gadguard

ROD

The one that I could think of right away.

>>37

Galactic Railway Story broadcasting confirmed!

Irregular broadcasting!

What is that…?

Big O and so on.

Present day, Present time

HAHAHA!

What comes to mind when everyone is dead is DT Eitron.

Is it Blue No. 6?

I feel like the tone changes quite a bit around 2004.

>>42

I feel like that was a time when eroge was very popular.

Salty Ray…

Gadguard…

This is a memory of the live broadcast…

Ah, my head hurts.

I remember there were a lot of naughty things!!

The ending of Eva feels like it could go either way, good or bad.

The site probably acted that way to somehow bring things under control, and the fans got too overly excited.

EAT-MAN and Trigun have a great atmosphere as manga adaptations.

I feel like Wolf’s Rain didn’t really end within the scope of the TV broadcast.

Yukie Nakama, who had been struggling, has teamed up with Kadokawa Shoten.

Even when talking about the era when we were trying to succeed as voice actor idols…

No one will believe me.

Totoro is here! It’s like that!

>>49

I haven’t forgotten because there’s the Nadesico movie.

>>54

Takaya Kamikawa’s response.

>>49

In Gamera 3, you became a mummy, remember?

I was watching RahXephon, Wolf’s Rain, and ROD on Fuji.

Anyway, there’s a prejudice that says it’s enough to just scatter mysteries!

>>51

Big O collected in the second season.

It feels like a time when I casually watched anime that aired late at night every week.

Is that the one from Fuji that got canceled halfway through?

Since it was cut off midway, it ended with my two older sisters dying in an explosion.

A tragic broadcast…

The first season of Honey and Clover aired in 2005, so it was probably before that…

ROD is more interesting to watch while listening to the commentary on the DVD.

Don’t abandon me, Daisy.

It seems like only I am watching.

Personally, I think the era changed a bit with “Pani Poni”.

It seems that ROD’s novel is not finished yet.

>>62

About 15 years ago, there were concerns that the gentlemen were causing a commotion and that it would come to an end…

It’s impressive that Alien 9 was adapted into an OVA.

I loved the Kokoro Library.

The music was intense and really great, so I bought the CD.

I want to see it again…

If I had to choose one, it would be Gakuen Senki Muryou.

Here comes this dual! Parare Lun Lun story!

There were a lot of dark stories in children’s programs too.

>>70

I have a memory that Najah’s year was crazy.

>>70

Digimon Tamers and so on.

>>70

It was a time when everyone was thinking about what justice means, influenced by events like 9/11, and not everyone could be a hero.

Witchblade

It may look heartwarming now, but…

If everyone were me, we could end Evangelion beautifully; the battle was incredible.

There were threads about Rozen Maiden and Mai-Hime here every day…

At that time, Yoshitoshi Abe was incredible.

It was pretty tough here when it was still the Rosen board.

Sister Princess and Happy Lesson… Hanaukyou Maid Team and so on…

Mononoke and so on.

Planetes

My late-night anime is accompanied by anime showers.

There is also Star Trek: Voyager.

>>81

Kansai people!

>>84

After Miami Guns, it seems like I’m going to lose my mind with Alexander Chronicles.

The era when I was drawing laugh lines when someone opened their mouth too wide.

I liked Paradise Kiss, but…

Tommy February6 is finally here at this time.

I don’t think it will become popular overseas.

It might be jealousy.

It’s the heyday of WOWOW.

>>86

I wonder if it was something like a Netflix exclusive back then.

Confusing Gakuen Senki Muryou with Kikou Kiden Hiwou Senki.

Haibane Renmei and so on.

Persona Trinity Soul or something like that.

I really like anime with darker colors overall.

I still don’t know what the story of Bifarm is all about…

>>89

It has often been said that Bifam is like “Lord of the Flies” while Leviathan resembles “The Swiss Family Robinson.”

Although “Bifam” is a story where children are caught up in war and fight, it’s not bright, but it’s a good story and the ending is very refreshing.

No good! It’s an Eva follower!

Popee the Performer is still stuck somewhere in my brain.

It can only be described as a reflection of the times.

Everyone is dark.

The state of society was also dark.

>>93

The 2007 work REIDEEN, when considering the era by the director…

The reason I avoid using hot-blooded characters is that they tend to feel out of place in a modern setting.

Dark color image

Since around 2006, the use of colors has become brighter.

>>95

Is that about how much the transition from cells to digital is?

I watched anime in the 90s, but I didn’t know anything about society at all.

I wanted to remember more about the end of the century.

What was it again, a girl in goth-loli?

An anime that talks only about things like a middle schooler’s delusions and defeating villains…

>>97

Saint October?

>>103

That was the one from KONAMI, it was cute.

Something like a character with an eye patch or something along those lines.

Someone who is trying to look cooler.

>>107

Yamika?

I remember that “Narutaru” and some anime had really terrible endings.

Color has a digital transition as well…

I think there were many harem-type and light stories that just didn’t stick in my memory.

>>101

There were so many that I couldn’t fully grasp them, let alone remember.

There are probably things I haven’t seen or know about.

Neo Ranga doesn’t have much of an Eva follower feel, but the ending is quite unsatisfactory.

It might sound rude, but the story really isn’t building up.

Coyote Ragtime Show

I liked Mars Daybreak.

>>109

I think it’s a masterpiece of a maritime adventure animated film.

>>109

I still think it’s a really rare setting for a robot.

I don’t know of any other main underwater battles.

Weird CGI!

At that time, there wasn’t any streaming, after all.

The final episode of Marimero is really tear-jerking, but I think the number of viewers who continued watching until then is super small because it’s just so depressing.

The digital transition period was around 2000.

There were many with strong colors.

Especially “Feng Shen Yan Yi” and “Edens Zero” were tough.

Since no one around is evaluating it.

There were many anime that I secretly liked only by myself.

Explosive Angel, or…

At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but I’m sad that the animation in The Big O changed drastically due to the transition to digital starting from the second season.

Season 2 is not bad, but Season 1 was just too captivating.

I really like how beautifully the Leviathan ends in that story.

Wasn’t it around this time for the two Spicas?

I liked Risky Safety, even though they were the same age but had a completely different atmosphere.

The color scheme and character design were good.

Because different industries come and spend money.

Even in the era when a lot of anime was being made, I wonder what was up with the Glass Fleet.

I’ve seen threads on this topic many times, but there are still occasionally titles I’ve never seen before that surprise me.

Eureka was also an easy-to-understand Eva follower, but it had a strong aspect of being a green, juvenile story, and I loved how beautifully it ended.

>>123

I broke through with pachinko and it continued until recently.

No one expected it, right…?

Is the first one of the late-night slots Berserk?

I have an impression that there were many dark or erotic ones as well.

The Outlaw Star is great, isn’t it?

Hunter x Hunter’s GI arc, which transitioned from cel animation to digital, turned out to be terrible.

Well, it’s good that I was able to get revenge with the Nippon TV version.

It’s true that many stories ended up being dark due to influences, but there were also quite a few bright works that followed their own path, like Bobobo.

Well, the atmosphere of the production committee may have darkened after the sponsors withdrew.

Before Yanmarni, like Yanmarni.

I like Speed Grapher and stuff.

It might be that the original was still stronger than the adaptation, which is why it left an impression.

I was watching Noir.

There were about 3 or 4 works like Yanmar, right?

To be honest, the real influence of Eva is seen after the theatrical version.

I think it’s strange that earlier works like Chouja Raideen and Nadesico are said to be influenced by Eva.

>>137

It feels like expressions that may have been taboo in OVAs before are no longer considered so.

It has become easier for ideas that existed on the creator’s side to come to the forefront.

An era with a vibe like Lain and Boogie Pop.

I liked the opening of Baccano.

GLAY’s “Survival” was released on VHS in 1999, and the anime music video became a topic of discussion.

I had high hopes for Makihiro Maeda in Aoi 6 and Gankutsuou, you know.

I can’t believe I’m going back to being a designer again.

When you say “Kugyu,” it’s definitely “Rizelmine,” right?

>>142

It’s amazing that I can hear you again, my dear…

Disk Princess Valkyrie…

>>144

Confused by men’s eighth-dan.

>>144

What kind of anime is Kaishaku making?

Kugimiya is still appearing in Gundam, but has Tamura Yukari been in anything recently?

>>145

Gundam

>>145

There were so many seeds freely scattered!

>>145

Scheduled to appear in Lyrical Nanoha.

I have a memory of Witch Hunter Robin being mentioned here every now and then.

However, I haven’t really seen it much in the last ten years or so.

There was an anime where Koto No Mitsuishi talks at an incredible speed…

It seemed like a buddy story with two women?

I don’t remember anymore…

>>148

Noir?

>>148

Excel Saga

I was playing Kirby during this time.

Isn’t it Excel Saga?

I wonder when the trend of Evangelion followers started to change.

It’s not a clear follower, but SEED, Haruhi, and Code Geass, among others.

I think the influence of Eva is present.

>>158

Isn’t it a trend in slice-of-life anime?

Haruhi and things like that.

Robin is very popular overseas, with Hollywood movies and

The project for the serialized drama was planned, but it all fell through.

It’s suitable for live-action adaptation.

It’s okay to do it now.

I feel like the trend changed quite a bit around the time of the new Eva’s Rebuild of Evangelion.

I think the work itself has been influenced, but I feel that Haruhi has overwritten the so-called “world system” demand in its own way.

Because the production side clearly stated it.

It seems that King Records tried to connect it to the Eva boom.

Was the revival boom in the 90s or 00s when they temporarily changed the original title to a Western language?

Trouble chocolate?

But this memory is from the main anime.

Cultural Broadcasting… it’s that kind of era.

When I first saw Geass, I thought it was a combination of Seed and Death Note.

>>167

I thought it was really well done with a properly functioning robot anime that includes elements of a school story and a serious drama, and since the character design is by CLAMP, it’s incredibly full of energy…

>>167

The concept of that is Amuro and Char.

It might be interesting if we joined hands, right? That’s what they said.

>>178

It’s Z Gundam!

>>178

Lelouch as a cute Char.

Suzaku feels like an inflexible Amuro.

The one riding the red machine is Kallen, not Lelouch.

It feels a bit off.

>>197

Suzaku’s character design has a bit of a CLAMP version of Amuro vibe, doesn’t it?

>>167

I think there was an interview that said something like “We want to hold onto the newcomers that increased through species and species death!” and that’s how the project started.

I will become an angel.

There were plenty of four-letter hiragana love comedies.

>>170

Maburaho

Muv-Luv

Mahoroba

Majipoka

>>170

Otaku 30 years from now

Old anime titles are often really long, right? I wonder if that’s the case…

A girl transforms into something like a deji using magic.

The one that was on in the evening with the foreign language opening…

>>171

Is it Kirumin Zoo…?

A Thai colleague at work was singing the theme song at karaoke.

There weren’t guys who would make fun of characters from works with butt stuff like the current residents of social media and anonymous message boards.

I feel like I was able to immerse myself in the work.

Eva was one of them, but somehow they started collaborating with convenience stores and beef bowl chain restaurants.

Seeing Shin-chan devouring a beef bowl really hit me hard as a delicate and weak otaku.

I’m already used to it, but it’s amazing how in this world, once a work becomes popular, there are endless tie-in collaborations, ads, and spin-offs.

Speaking of milestones, there was also Gurren Lagann before Geass.

With the trend of romantic comedy light novel anime and daily life Kirara anime.

Maybe it’s because of the elimination of Eva follower anime that I thought, let’s stop with the complicated foreshadowing and settings…

There have also been those like Madoka who have turned that to their advantage.

After Escaflowne ended, Record of Lodoss War began, and since Maaya was singing the theme song, I thought she would be the heroine again, but it was different.

>>182

The era when Kadokawa was promoting the active high school girl voice actress, Maaya Sakamoto!

I think that being erotic is not good.

It felt like the late-night slot was an experimental trial space for anime.

The viewers were probably becoming more sensitive to the Eva-like aspects as well.

I think it took a while for the creators to internalize the Eva-like elements demanded by the sponsors and output something that feels good.

I’m looking at a list from the 2000s, but I feel like there weren’t that many overall, even though there are some memorable ones.

>>185

At that time, I could track as much as I wanted within the visible range.

>>185

I have a strong memory that the number of late-night anime increased quite a bit around 2005 or 2007.

>>185

I remember reading an article around 2003 that mentioned surpassing 100 episodes a week, including shows aimed at children.

>>196

There was an article back then.

It’s fun because it changes little by little while being meta.

Well, I haven’t really seen that many.

lain

.hack sigh

Saikano

Elfin Lied

Please provide the Japanese text you would like translated.

EVA followers are making a game now.

The opening of the TV version of Record of Lodoss War was great, wasn’t it?

I got hooked on a late-night anime called Wolf’s Rain.

It’s a minor work and hardly any female characters appear, so you probably don’t know it…

>>195

At least try searching within the thread! Well, I guess you won’t do that here anyway.

MBS was really putting in effort.

I liked those period dramas.

Something like ayakashi.

>>199

I see, it’s a carefree moonlit orchid, isn’t it?

>>199

Those are not the kind of things you broadcast in the evening, like Fullmetal Alchemist Season 1, Blood+, Yokai Ningen Bem, or Towards the Terra.

I feel like Mushishi was around here, but that was amazing.

I thought there are a lot of anime now, but back then it was even crazier.

Don’t make unreasonable demands in the cast of BONDS with Kawamoto, Yoshihiro, and Kanou, Youko.

Well, it was like Girls’ Last Tour without any girls in it.

I thought the forbidden four-episode recap of Wolf’s Rain would drive me crazy.

I have fond memories of struggling over whether to keep the recorded VHS.
