I’m not sure if I agree with the articles thesis. There have always been bleak anime.
There’s so much more out there now. Some of it is whimsical and hopeful. Some that come to mind from the last decade:
- Yuri on Ice - A Place Further than the Universe - Your Name - Sasaki and Miyano - Given - The last Evangelion movie (which was a real holy shit moment for me) - Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet - This one is an odd pick but the Cyberpunk anime Netflix came out with last year was so so good. I know it undercuts my point given how it’s set in a dystopia but I felt like humanizing these characters that are criminals in a broken world and showing how they still have hopes and dreams and love… I found it very touching. - The Stranger by the Shore
Also Chainsaw Man is really really good, though it is dark and gory.
