Putting all the anime from the 90s 80s and 70s into the Anime Interest Index

For the sake of completion of this Anime Interest Index project, I went ahead and dug up everything from the 90s and earlier, which all fits nicely into this little list.

Using the Anime Interest Index again to find the most hyped up anime of the 2000s

The Anime Interest Index is back to analyze another decade, this time looking at the progression from the beginning to the end of the 2000s. This is the time period where anime as a medium truly exploded past its niche appeal into a full-on culture of weebism. All your favorite anime cringe begins here; the Hare Hare Yukai dance, Hetalia, Am I Kawaii uguu, Naruto running, high school anime clubs… At this point in time, western anime culture was its own cult of nerds. Yet, you can’t help but look back fondly at the childish fascination western viewers had towards anime as a medium.

Using the Anime Interest Index to uncover the best anime of the 2020s

Hello my fellow painters, and welcome to every nerd’s favorite pastime, NUMBERS. And what’s better than numbers? Putting those numbers in order, especially when those numbers are going to represent which anime of the last five years are the ‘best’ ones.

But listing out what are purely the highest rated anime would be a bit too simple. After all, that’s what the MAL charts are, and you don’t need some random blogger to explain to you that Frieren is ranked #1 because people gave it high ratings. No, we need MORE than that. We need a way to rank anime in a way that suits our refined tastes. I refuse to accept that The Angel Next Door is a 7.82 while Do It Yourself sits at 7.45. This just isn’t right. We need TASTE if we’re going to single out which anime are worth watching in 2024.
