Idk I'm sure this has been said about every era and obviously not every anime can have the talent and budget of what I presume Soul Eater had. But damn near every anime today looks identical and is an isekai or adjacent

Should I finish watching Soul Eater? I got to an episode where the two main peeps (Maka and her weapon?) were bummed out because they lost to the weird kid in the church. Which is like 4 episodes in.

Soul eater was definitely an anime that looked like I would have really wanted to like it when I was a teenager.

The anime has arguably the worst ending I have ever seen

it's a show with a great premise, but I feel it wasted a lot of its potential

Edit: for those who might not get the joke, fire force is the series that the soul eater author did after that series concluded.

Please tell me you read it. The fact that like the entire second half of the anime was anime-original filler was such a shame.

I feel old because my immediate reaction was "that is modern anime animation though", and then realized that I probably don't know what modern anime looks like.

For a certain era, its because it was all drawn / colored by hand without the aid of computers.

Another lost art in anime is great menu screens for home releases.

These days its just generic still images from the show most of the time.

We used to get bangers like this

Yeah, but the proper thing to do these days is just rip the discs and host the rips / encodes on Plex / Emby / Jellyfin, so you wouldnt see those anyway. Swapping discs is tedious, so you might as well only do it once.

There are loads, with usually at least one show every season being an OVA.

As a physical collector, that pains me. It takes 2 seconds to swap a disc i to the pc and fire up vlc to watch a dvd

Hard disagree. I still buy them, then rip them for an equivalent product thats way more convenient to use.

There's still plenty of anime with quality animation. Although funnily enough, it's almost all done by Bones (studio that did Soul Eater), Ufotable, or MAPPA. Here are recent anime that have amazing animation (in my opinion):

  • Demon Slayer
  • Jujutsu Kaisen
  • Chainsaw Man
  • Fire Force (the explosion sound effects are amazing too)
  • My Hero Academia
  • Mob Psycho 100
