Fen nice to see you too. It is great how your last 12 years turned out. Wishing you more happiness in the next 12 years.
I second what Fen said. Husky i think you can write a book. You can use a dictation tool like google assistant or google keyboard if typing is difficult. How you saw different countries cultures people would be really interesting.
To answer Fen's question
Personally i have been hit quite hard, lost my grandfather, then uncle. Last year my mother has been diagnosed with CKD and now need to dialysis 3 times per week. This was one of the reasons why i am not active anymore.
Professionally my life has been quite good. Completed university. Got a decent job. Last year was assigned in the csuite(CTO) and managing a fairly large(150+) amount of people. Visited China and Switzerland for work and study purposes.
Last 12 years has been a rollercoaster for me. It feels like i have seen everything. it has both positive and negative aspects. It was a great learning for me.
I say Alhamdulillah for everything that has happened. And there has been a lot pockets of happiness. Like we had a great family tour just before my moms scikness was discovered. I bought my first car recently. I would not want to change anything as it is what made me who i am today.

No there definitely is a huge chance of comeback. However personally i would not want the theme to change. that would be basically the death of the brand. Reimagination can happen.
Regarding phases i would say the following
1. Original Work and TV driven animation(1970-1990) -> This is first phase which has given rise to all the famous Directors we know and love. But the animation itself is low quality and cheaply made. Low details and animation quality is subpar. Fan Service and other things were there. This might be either to entice viewers or due to the 70-80s neon light tokyo culture i dont really know.
2. Studio Ghibli and Manga Driven Anime(1990-2010) -> After Stuido Ghibli provided hit after hits in the 84(nausicaa), 86(castle), 88(totoro/grave), 89(kiki). It was quite evedent that anime is a huge medium and you can invest in quality. After that we can see the plethora of anime made both original (cowboy, champloo) and manga based. Almost all the famous anime we know today has been made in this time.
3. Ultra Commercialization of Anime (2010 - now) -> I would say most if not all popular manga has been adapted to anime. Now most anime is being made from light novel. If anyone knows the origin of light novel and visual novel it is mostly pornographic in nature to a huge margin. Although there are gems hidden for example (steins gate, re:zero). Another important aspect is as anime is much more marketable now there is a tendency to make sure there is some key elements in all anime. Sad to say the term wifu is now mainstream and otaku is also generally accepted. In youtube space and other places there is happening blatant discussion regarding things which is straight up not related to the work of art. This is why Hayao Miyazaki said anime was a mistake due to studio turning to otakus for stories. Another important fact is otakus are becoming directors as well. Which is kind of a dangerous thing. I would not say there is more fanservice rather now there are more anime being shown in mainstream media which is basically porn or some weird fetish. Sad yes. True also yes. I do not see a lot of really memorable anime in this period. Are there good ones yes ofcourse. But thats a exception generally.
Now the question is can you make a statistical corelation how many anime got which score at which year. i guess you can. I am very confident regarding the 1990-2010 era. That you will find better anime in this period. Can this be due to technology. I would say no as it is even better now. I would say the issue is directors.
I think i have written threads after threads that anime which japanese as a medium must make sure what it wants to be. Does it want to be a respectable medium or something different. Seems like anime studios are going for whatever sells.

1. I think there is definitely a lack of direction.
2. There is a lack of demand
Let me explain the second point first
In recent years due to extreme popularity of blockbuster films like Marvel Multiverse there is a huge drop of high quality art films
You can even see that there is a drop of interest in Pixar.
Also we have grown up as child. When i first saw ghibli movies the amount of excitement and joy was incredible. I wont have the same excitement anymore.
So there needs to be another generation. The kids who are growing up today after 10-12 years they will be primary target group for these movies.
Now the first point
What studio ghibli represent is relentless call for the betterment of the world and the nature. Is there any animator in Japan who has that interest.
I would say no to some degree. Here are some honorable mentions
1. mokoto shinkai - apart unrequited love and missed connections his movies also have deep connection with nature
2. Mamoru Hosada - an original ghibli artist. almost matches with ghibli characteristics.
3. Hideaki Ano - Not at all Ghibli style - However the most probable next film of Studio Ghibli might come from him as Hayao Miyazaki provided him permission to do Nausicaa 2
4. Hiromasa Yonebayashi - found studio ponoc
Now lets think what is Studio Ghibli without Miyazaki. I would say it would not represent anything. Due to the nature Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata they have completely moved away from any kind of money making endevours. For example after the nausicaa game not one Studio Ghibli game was made.
Also would we support NTV to dillute Studio Ghibli assets for pennies?
Also another extreme issue is Studio Ghibli has been a talent killer. Not one person made it big coming out of Studio Ghibli. You can consider Studio Ponoc a semi success but there is perspective regarding long term sustainability
If Studio Ghibli needs to revive following needs to be done
Do some movie concept planning
take the guys from above and do something with those concept
create a sub studio - and add all the artists in that studio - allow them to make mistakes and do interesting things
then allow them to make movies for Studio Ghibli
Now the question comes how realistic is this? I would say extremely low. The perspective of Franchise is not something of interest to most Japanese People from what i understand.
Unless there is a person who strongly beleive in Studio Ghibli cause it is difficult to do it. Are there such people, yes. Is ghibli looking for them No.
I think the best i can wish from NTV is strong promotion of Studio Ghibli material. Similar to Neon Genesis Evangelion. That way there is a possibility that these films wont become just history rather be relevant to the next generation
EDIT 1
There is a third point anime has changed a lot recently
the first phase of anime is definiltely as everyone know sharp, slick characters with a lot of fanservice
After the prolifiration of Studio Ghibli it became very theme driven. Helped by excellent manga which provided stories to imagine and draw
Now anime is back to the same thing. Limitless action and fanservice.

I really really dont understand why Suzuki did not want to market the film. In Japan it might be ok to some degree but internationally it just would not work. Even miyazaki is worried regarding marketing. I hope they do some solid marketing when the international release happens.
Hopefully this will be an awesome movie

Have to say Shinkai is doing hits after hits.
I think we had a old previous discussion asking who is going to be the next torch bearer of Japanes Anime Movies.
Seems like that is Mokoto Shinkai by a huge margin.
Also he has picked up his style of work very early on. From his first movie until his last all of them have similar themes and ideas in different stories. Similar to Miyazaki and Takahata.

Hi Kaz and Arren,
Yeah I totally get what you are saying. I mean it has completely overtaken the fantasy genre. We as Ghibli lovers are avid fantasy lovers so it makes sense.
However I think escapism is a major contributor otherwise there is hardly any other factor for it's immense popularity. I think some companies are banking on this fact. The reason this is specifically true is because most popular shows have people of very poor behavioral and mental qualities as the main protagonist. This is a trend only in Isekai.
Hi Husky,
No worries, I was in the same position couple of months ago as well. I think you definitely have watched something of this type. This naming convention is kinda newly popularized. Previously similar anime fell in the fantasy category.

86 is kind of good, but at the same time it does not feel like they are going anywhere with the story. otherwise I dont know if there is any anime that qualifies as "serious" right now.
Thanks for the suggestion

It was a lot of fun, definitely in the spirit of Castle of Cagliostro, with a ludicrous storyline and really impressive visuals.
I saw that one some months ago i think after i saw good reviews. Quite good actually, its the second Lupin film i have seen after cagliostro. Bit over the top at the end but overall quite good.

I did not watch any serious anime in the last 2-3 years.
Last day and Today i binge watched Terra E
https://myanimelist.net/anime/2158/Terra_e_TV
Excellent Thought provoking anime regarding Humanity and its future.
It is based on 1977 manga of the same name.
There was a 1980 movie on this.
Anime was made on 2007 based on the movie. 24 episodes. Last 10 episode is extremely interesting. The pacing in the beginning seems very very slow but you understand in the second half the importance of those.
Art - Good
Animation - Ok
Sound - Excellent
Plot - Great
Ending - One of the Best
Highly recommended.
(Wow i started this thread 8 years ago, how time flies)

Thanks arren and FFF for your inputs.
There is another style that i think is getting popular its called FIRE -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIRE_movement
you work super hard and save a lot to retire in the 40s or 50s depending on saving rate
However the physical burden can be quite a lot. Not sure if it can decrease healthiness and make you ill.
To me this seems to be a Global Phenomena, for example 996_icu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system or this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downshifting_(lifestyle) or revenge bedtime procastination https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedtime_procrastination
Why is this happening i am not sure. For example i can not say my Boss(Owner of the Company) is bad becuase i know for a fact that its not in his hand. It seems to me the speed of delivery of a thing(be it work, package, food, result or whatever) is extremly high to us. And this high expectancy is making everything very stressful. There might be other reasons as well.
Currently i dont have see a solution to fix it as people wont become more patient suddenly.
However this ultra efficiency ultra speed mindset definitely gives an edge to companies thus general people love those companies(for example Amazon or Alibaba/Aliexpress or other Giants like McDonalds Apple Google etc.). However it allows the aggregration wealth to specific people and oils the system even more.
To me this looks like a sign for dystopian future. Unless there is a way to solve this.
one way definitely is to break large companies as this will allow less efficient companies to have some business at least. This needs to happen globally otherwise pointless. another way is to have more social understanding of the situation. which seems very unlikely.

Random Thoughts:
I think us Millenials are not getting stable in their late 20s. For example i have a preety good job still i need to worry all the time regarding job security thinking about better jobs better salary savings etc. I found most of my peers are doing the same changing jobs moving countries for better salary better opportunities. To me its either the Jobs today are very demanding or we are very demanding regarding what we want. In most good paying jobs Job Security is zero and there is almost no retirement benefits. You need to save up from the salary. In some lower paying jobs or govt jobs there is some facilities but in many cases those are boring or too low salary to live a good life. The most strange aspect is the cost of buying a house only 10-15 years ago it was 20-30 times your monthly salary of a average job. Now it is 60-100 times the salary even if the salary is 20 times more(i know because i have a group where we are trying to buy land). I think it is getting quite difficult to find stability in life. It makes me wonder how it will continue. An average person works for 25-30 years, maybe more in our case as life expectency will be higher. I am not sure if we can cope up with this high expectation high pressure env for another 25 years.
To me there are not actually that many alternatives
1. Have a govt job -> most are not interested
2. Entrepreneurship -> Unless your product is a hit this one is even more stressful
3. Freelance/Alternative Career -> Freelance is good but luck dependent. Alternative Career like Youtube/Content Creation is luck dependent as well also you need to actually like the niche that you will work on
4. Investment -> Difficult to navigate, luck dependent and Cash flow needed
5. Alternative income -> Make one of your hobbies generate income for you. works only if it is photography, painting etc creative stuff
6. Reduce Expectation -> This one i tried to think about a lot. This sounds more like giving up.
Right now happiness seems super complicated to me on one hand i like what i do however there is huge amount of pressure. But there i am not seeing a lot of ways to continue doing that without pressure as my industry is extremely competitive.
Living with constant stress/pressure seems to be a path that many of us Millenials are going to pick. Not sure if this is a good scenario for us mentally or physically.

The reason is old age Husky.
Chinese people are growing old similar to japan and korea so they need young people to keep the economy booming
one child policy was a catastrophe. Now their population is shrinking. However it wont work as there is no benefit plus cost of bringing up children is huge.
So i think they will forced it upon their population. which most probably will be another catastrophe.
The reasons why in other countries it does not happen that much is
1. There is no population control measures
2. there is a healthy dose of immigration although many nationalist people dont like it
This is a well known phenomena is Europe as well. However they are not worried as they dont want to become powers or super powers. But it is affecting their economy

Is there a way to know that. In a cut throat competitive world it is really difficult to understand mental health problem vs problem. Everyone has some amount of problem so it is actually very good if a person reaches out when help is offered. But if people doesn't reach it is extremely difficult to go deeper.
