SDF Macross was the first series I genuinely enjoyed, so I'd also pitch in as 80's being the best decade.

I usually try to avoid the whole "anime then vs anime now" argument, as I've actually seen myself that different decades had their own issues. But in the last three years I've picked up and dropped every single new series except Haganai, because I've been following LNs and mango for it.

Different target audience I suppose, have to make it about things viewers can relate to with a good portion of things viewers wish they could do, hence school kids with superpowers. Older generations still watch animu due to habit without realizing the producers don't account for them when making it.

And yes, there is good anime in 2000s and 201x.

It's not the anime, it's you. You're like people who let their bias ruin their appreciation of modern music, then turn around and glorify the 70's.

They defend their opinion by stating the relativism of their subjective experience, but they fail to realize that their irrational bias has already ruined it for them and effectively makes their opinion meaningless.
