it takes a lot especially in anime to convince me a work is sincere lately

my statement on that was actually directly about the anime industry and how it's changed since the 90s/00s. there was a lot more experimental risky stuff coming out back then because people with money were more willing to fund it, but it's stagnated since then and become very "safe", which is why you never see original stuff anymore (vs adaptions of existing works). bee train couldn't exist now. simoun as well was a commercial failure, but at least it was made and completed. even well known things like lain and evangelion would never happen now. it's just a fact that the landscape has changed, imo for the worse, but it is what it is
Yeah that's something we're just going to have to agree to disagree on. I can't agree with people like yourself that hate most modern anime and think good anime existed mainly in the 90s and earliest 2000s. Since while I do have frustrations with certain things there's a lot of modern anime that I genuinely have so much love for, including strange hidden gems, and I've seen passionate creators in the anime industry that genuinely love their work. While not everything is perfect I'm not totally jaded and bitter, and I refuse to write off the work of passionate creators that still exist and are creating wonderful series. Plus as I said there's various works such as GWitch that are being made today that wouldn't have been able to get made back in the 90s/early 2000s, including Bloom Into You and upcoming series such as Green Yuri that will hopefully be a home run. Anyhow, we may disagree but I wish you the best regardless.
