You know, what you’re describing is probably why I mostly stopped watching anime. I was very into '80s and '90s anime, and some of the early 2000s as well. But somehow it all gradually seemed to become more generic or repetitive as it became more popular. Stories used to be weirder. Which… Okay, modern anime is very weird. But it’s sort of predictably weird. Silly weird. That sort of thing. Anyway, it’s definitely changed a lot and I feel that, despite the increase in content and content availability, the variety of stories has decreased.
You put it better, but I actually was watching some anime today and so felt the need to chime in.
