All these shows have something in common.
Theyeither deal with the death of our planetorthey are set in the far future of our planet when it has already died and been reborn.
How come this theme is so rare when pretty much all shows making use of the theme end up being great? The world building potential is massive.
>>143746391
You forgot Bokurano
>>143746462
I only listed the ones that I've already seen.
I don't think it's particularly rare
>>143746592
Compared to most other themes and tropes it is. And no, I don't count "humanity has advanced beyond a type 1 civilization"-anime because that's an entirely different theme.
It is the melancholic atmosphere and the death of and/or the rediscovering of the old world that I like.
Humanity has Declined is about a massive drop in birthrates though. The planet was fine.
Turn A is a really good example as well.
>>143746391
Because we can't have nice things.
>>143746768
Humanity and modern day civilization stagnated and disappeared. Their technology levels regressed enormously and they had to rely on fairy magic.
>>143746797
Yeah, but that was because otaku culture caused humans to stop procreating, rather than a natural apocalyptic event.
>>143746849
Doesn't matter if it's because of war, plagues, natural events or ayylmaos. The setting itself and the world building is what's important.
This was the isekai of 90's. Everybody was sick of it, then high school setting happened.
Be careful of what you wish for.
>>143746914
As long as it's well made I don't see the problem. There are so many ways to go within the frames of that theme to keep things fresh.
>>143746391
Half of those are terrible though.
Haibane Renmei has a different theme but it shares that melancholic feel and the interesting world building.
>>143747059
No. You just have shitty taste.
>>143746391
>All these shows have something in common.
They're all shit?
>>143747136
Your mom is shit
>>143747114
>liking SnW, Gargantia, SSY, Here and there balablabla
I'm the one with shit taste?
>>143747114
Can't speak for all of them but Gargantia was seriously terrible.
>>143747136
How can you have this bad taste?
>>143747193
>hating on SnW and SSY
Kill yourself. Seriously.
>>143747218
It could've been better but the setting was great. It's also rare to see 'humanity fuck yeah' in animu.
>that second show
>good
Loli rape is not ok, dropped it right there
>>143747371Lolis are made for bullying.
If it helps in showing how cruel the world has become to the point of you dropping it then it succeeded.
>>143746391
but shin sekai yori was trash
>>143747448
You are trash. SSY was amazing except for a few parts where the animation got bad.
>>143747229
SSY might have been good with a director that knew what he was doing and some better animation. As it is it's just an unwatchable mess most of the time.
SnW is complete shit aside from some nice visuals, shit characters, an interesting setting wasted and a rushed ending despite having one episode dedicated to a girl holding her piss. The fact that this garbage still has a following today baffles me.
>>143747448
>>143747498
>first time on /a/ since years
>anons still uses no u arguments to justify their shitty taste
Never change /a/.
>>143747524
They are the thinking man's anime. I understand if you can't appreciate them since.

List some of your favorites
>>143746391
Are you just trying to describe post-apocalyptic stuff? Because that's not rare at all, it's common in all media, and there's a huge range of quality like with all settings. Hell, even among the ones you mentioned, I'd only call Jintai, SnW, SSY, and maybe TTGL great. Kaminai was okay, Gargantia went to shit like three episodes in, and Saikano and Now and Then Here and There were shit all around.
>>143747859
Not really post-apocalyptic. But post-apocalyptic far into the future when the last traces of our current civilization are starting to disappear. It also needs to have that special melancholic feeling to it and focus more on world building and rediscovery rather than action.
If you haven't read YKK yet, OP, you're going to cream yourself.
>>143748011
What about the OVA from 1998? Is it worth seeing?
>>143747653
No, they're a terrible adaption of a novel and a less than mediocre SoL.
>>143747716
Utena, Akage no Anne, Denno Coil, Versailles no Bara, Conan, Ashita no Joe, The Tatami Galaxy, FLCL..
>>143748065
It just adapt a couple of chapters.
>>143748065
Yes
>>143748128
I have a hard time watching pre-widescreen era 2d unless it's really good.
>>143748297
I hope you don't mind missing out on dozens of classics then.
>>143748474
There are some that I'm interested in checking out. I guess I'll get around to watching them eventually as my backlog gets smaller and smaller.

You should try Kino no Tab then
>>143750286
Sorry, Kino no Tabi
>>143750286
I'll check it out. Thanks.
>>143750286
>side story about Kino browsing 2ch, posting exactly three times in each thread
I'd read it.
>>143746391
Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu is somewhat similar to Saikano
>>143749287
I guess Swan Song could count too.
>>143749287
Does it count though?It only happens in the true end and it doesn't technically destroy the earth, just wipes out humanity
>>143752016
It's really on the border of counting tb h.
I forgot, Planetarian is coming soon.
>>143746391
You mean post-apocalyptic fiction? It's pretty damn common.
>>143752793
No. See >>143747945
And even real post-apocalyptic stuff is very rare. Most of it throws in mecha and other advanced tech.
>>143752982
You're being really specific and it's still rather common. What other visual medium has more examples of those?
>>143753309
I never claimed that they are more common elsewhere. They aren't.
I think that's pretty common. But you really don't see much where they're in the middle of the shit.
>>143753455
Anyhow, sure there isn't a thousand of anime like those, but there is a shitload of them. At least a few dozen.
>>143753542
>>143753556
Can you list even 5 others that haven't been mentioned in the thread, are actually good and were made after 2000? Because it seems to me like they are more rare than you'd think.
I'm not sure how it is when it comes to manga. It might be more common there.
>>143750778
Exceptthe world doesn't end
>>143746592
That scene was beautiful
>>143746391
The word you're looking for is post-apocalypse
>>143758058
If you had basic reading comprehension you'd know how wrong you are.
>>143746391
This one kinda counts.The universe will burn out if it doesn't receive a constant supply of despair energy.
>>143760309
And then she destroys it all and rebuilds it again Hitchhiker's Guide-style, but witch-free.
