There are still plenty of anime coming out that would warrant me saying that we are still in the Golden Age. How could you deny the greatness of shows like: Azumanga Daioh, Hajime no Ippo, One Piece, Excel Saga, Love Hina, Inu Yasha, Berserk, Hikaru no Go, and the list can go on and on. With shows like these how could he deny that the Golden Age is still going on.
And let us not forget some creators that are keeping the golden age alive: Yasuhiro Nightow, Akira Toriyama, Rumiko Takahashi, Oda Eiichiro, Hayao Miyazaki, Akamatsu Ken, this list could go on and on as well.
Yeah, but those shows aren't a new concept, just different execution. From what I understand One Piece, and Inu Yasha are nothing but journey series, that have been done well, in the 80's.
Other shows like Love Hina, copy Tenchi from the early 90's.
However I agree with Kakoi. Despite experiencing a wonderful growth in the 80's anime is still very much alive. I can wholeheartedly look into the future with a serious passion or anime.
However, it's interesting to realize some of the recently liscensed series for DVD, Maison Ikkoku, Aura Battler Dunbine, City Hunter, Macross, and the like. :mrgreen:
