OK, I know we're all love anime here, but does anyone think these recent anime awful? I mean since 2009 they really focused more on the fancy editing and neglected all the traditional good parts: lack originality, outdated character types, and some of them were pretty good in the first couple episodes then became disappointing in the end.
Example, Queen's Blade and Qwaser, what is this? I say they're porns before they're anime. And they're even being produced more? Yosuga no Sora, Princess Lover!, they may look decent in the first couple episodes, then you know. Well, this is what happened when anime adapted from typical H-games are allowed to exist. These types are yet another in a long line of "adult" anime series where the word "adult" doesn't necessarily mean "mature," rather simply that they are completely inappropriate for kids.
Action anime like Sengoku Basara became depend too heavily on its own exgrative genre elements while the plot is generic. Familiar faces like Ikki Tousen or Koihime became more "viewtiful" than they were. And Fairy Tail was fun but not that good, it's only a matter of time before it becomes like Naruto and such.
I almost forgot the bishi, take a look at Fortune Aerial, Togainu no Chi, or Hakuouki for example, they all have good-looking eye-candy with the most banal plot, predictable storyline, lack character developments and a really lame ending. Speaking of Hakuouki, I'm not too sure about you guys, but it is one of the deadliest torture devices in history. Nothing really happens, they just sit there and talk trash, give the viewers a reason why the Shinsengumi are honored because of their great feats not just some random incompetent clowns. I want to steal the pet of whomever turned the Shinsengumi into a bunch of fags. After that much of a failed plot, now they decided to kill everyone to make it touching (according to what I've read). Kenshin is probably the safest bet for a Shinsengumi show (if it doesn't count Gintama), at least in those two they are preserved not degraded.
Also, there're a lot of K-on! fans out there, but (no offense) I find it starting to lose its touch. While the first season was enjoyable, the second just has no real plot, less music and more trashy fun. Were they aiming to make a slice-of-life/comedy like Aria and Lucky Star? Hopefully, many things will be improved in the upcoming movie.
Within these two years, only a very few can be counted rare gem (Angel Beats!, Eden of the East, Kimi ni Todoke,etc). Again, this is just my opinions, so what yours?
