Do You Think Anime Has Evolved Too Much in Terms of Art and Storytelling?

Hey everyone, I'm new here and wanted to get your opinions on something that's been on my mind lately. As a long-time anime fan, I've noticed that anime seems to have evolved quite a bit in terms of both animation style and storytelling over the years. Some of the classic shows had a very unique, hand-drawn feel to them, and the pacing was often slower and more deliberate, while today's anime often features faster editing, CGI effects, and a wider variety of visual styles.

On one hand, I really appreciate how the art and technology have progressed – we're getting some visually stunning series now. But on the other hand, I feel like some of the deeper, slower-paced stories are a bit rarer. The shift towards faster pacing and more flashy animation sometimes feels like it's sacrificing the emotional depth that older shows had.

So, my question is: do you think anime has evolved too much in terms of art style and storytelling? Are we losing the essence of what made classic anime so special, or is this just a natural progression? What do you guys think?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
 
isekai anime is trying to approach apotheosis through grabbing every thematical sensation.
romance anime, well...
I did not imagine that I could feel oreimo is a classic now.

I don't think anime has evolved but rather it has degraded in animation for example the latest season in Bleach has started using AI for their explosion effects
