My friend's 'best anime of all time' list was just his top 5 from 2012

We were at a cafe in Austin and he pulled it up on his phone, it was all Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online. I asked if he'd watched anything from the past decade, and he just shrugged.

Ever think some shows just hit different when you're younger? I used to swear my old favorites were unbeatable, but then I watched some newer stuff. It really opened my eyes.

What newer stuff actually made you change your mind?

Remember trying to rewatch that cartoon I loved as a kid, the one with the talking cars? Man, it was rough. The jokes fell flat and the animation looked so cheap. It made me realize what you're saying, @oscar390, about new stuff opening your eyes. I gave one of those newer animated shows a shot last year, something with a more complex story, and it just blew my old favorites out of the water. Funny how your taste changes when you're not just glued to the screen for the bright colors.
