Went back to anime recently, and they feel like they’re all becoming the same thing, least checking random ones through Crunchyroll for some months now. Art style is becoming pretty same-y even for older, still running shows, story setting and pacing also seem to be more uninventive than ever, and in action animes, thunder or similar-looking effects sound like always have the same audio track playing. I wonder if those series are already using AI as I remember seeing being proposed in a news a while back.
It doesn’t have to be AI. It’s probably more trend chasing. Anime A becomes super popular, so other series try to emulate it. As far as sound effects, the studios are likely pulling from the same sfx library.
There’s still plenty of really cool, unique stuff being made. It definitely can be hard to find under all the isekai slop though, so if you’re interested in finding good new stuff I’d recommend looking for seasonal review videos from channels like Mothers Basement or Gigguk.

Will be looking at those 👀
Thanks!
Well, before people simply riveted templates to survive in the industry and now templates are simply generated by AI.
It’s not a fact that they all use AI, but corporate greed says otherwise.
