What do you think of the overall quality of recent anime?

I don't remember the last time that I enjoyed an anime as much as I enjoyed older stuff (Toradora, Barakamon, March Comes in Like a Lion, Your Lie in April, A Silent Voice, AnoHana, Nichijou, Made in Abyss, etc).<br><br>These days, it feels like most of the highest-profile anime end up being lackluster and disappointing (令和のデカダンス, 100 years of the animator, Ponyo Cliff, Tenki, Cyborg, E3!, Akiba Meido Sensou, Dead Dead Demon, bespoke suit, hellmode, etc).<br><br>Even stuff that gets released to widespread critical acclaim tends to leave me disappointed (Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, JJK, Chainsaw Man, Suzume, One Piece Film Red, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Ranking of Kings, The Dangers in My Heart, etc). <br><br>I don't know why, but anime just doesn't feel as good as it used to. Nothing feels like it has any soul or substance to it, and it's just mass-produced trash meant to sell merch or fit into a mold. I don't even think that I've seen an anime from the past 5 years that I would give higher than a 6.
