reckoning both audiovisually and thematically with dissociation and marginalization from society at large a disconnect from Japans ingrained social and cultural constraints especially those established/perpetuated by the preceding generation aka parents of the lost decade victims strong pessimism towards the future while rapidly digitalizing communication through increasingly accessible internet technology and general malaise from lingering socioeconomic stagnation. though the Lost Decades persist and their socioeconomic ramifications continue and some works on the list may not seem relevant the list is an attempt to capture a period in time wherein such themes were expressed more prominently and/or specifically within anime. 0914 cicada new wavehttps://anilist.co/user/May/animelist/091420cicada20new20wave202F20recessioncore works that continue to audiovisually and thematically capture the emotional ramifications of the continuing Lost Decades by widely incorporating additional forms of escapism particularly that of transposing oneself into videogame worlds and reflecting contemporary technological evolutions within the anime industry itself namely the change towards increasingly digital production pipelines. these works often are digitally textured and have a different feel from the first Lost Decade cinema wave as works now fully and subconsciously reflect a society and economy in decline. 00s spiritual journey thru the peak and pinnaclehttps://anilist.co/user/May/animelist/00s20spiritual20journey20thru20the20peak20and20pinnacle a list attempting to encapsulate the successful and admirable projects of the 00s wherein ambitious auteurs got to work passionately in functional overambitious studio systems where they got to make relatively strange projects in the wake of Evangelions success. with the incorporation of new technology as well the 00s in anime represent for me an intermittent period of hopes and dreams being realized by some of the mediums greatest heroes 10sxx postcollapse ruinshttps://anilist.co/user/May/animelist/10sxx20postcollapse20ruins as many ambitious studio systems collapsed in the early to mid10s because of their ambitious yet unprofitable works and explosive increasein production demand strained a scattered industry well beyond its capacity from the mid to late10s onwards many crucial foundations of the production pipeline suffered leading to an increase of riskaverse projects and decrease in overall quality. this list is an attempt at capturing the works that perservered these predicaments with powerful instudio productions strong/ambitious project management and/or are ambitious works that go against the grain of the industry 20sxx I still love animehttps://anilist.co/user/May/animelist/20xx20i20still20love20anime despite my cynicism towards the current state of anime I still believe the industry is full of admirable spirited creatives who continue to push boundaries and make stellar work within their means. this list contains series who either holistically or just for some episodes are admirable inspirational reminds me that were always moving forward and continues to fuel my hopes and dreams for this medium I hold dear Vibes bad
