So really now, havent we see just about EVERYTHING there is to see in an anime? We've seen giant robots piloted by men in tight spandex, giant robots piloted by women in tight and skimpy spandex, biological robots piloted by young boys in tight spandex, and sentient, non-piloted robots bigger than planets.
We've seen wars, battles, skirmishes, vampies, werewolves, witches and fish-men and all of the above on the same battlefiled at the same time. We've got nuclear subs, we've go non-nuclear subs, we've even some som Subway subs. There are planet-sized battle ships, battles waged with planet ships(War Planets anyone?). We've colonized Mars so many times a few people moved to Jupiter...and most of it's moons.
We've got aliens, vampires, vampire aliens, angels, vampire alien angels and more monster hunters than anybody cares to count. They've all be little girls, little boys, alien vampire monster hunter little girls and boys, old men, cyborgs, old-male cyborgs, and busty girls who's clothes seem to come off as fast as James Kirk's when he fights the ugly lizard from Omicron-Persei 8. And just when you think it's all over and the day is saved the bad guy comes back more powerful than ever and goes "bawhahaazzzz, I are them bestezzes!! All your baze are belong to meezz!!" And blows up the Earth....again...
At what point do we just stop and say, okay, there's nothing left, you've done everything that could ever possibly be imagined and at least 1 remake of all of them. Either get something new or get out of the biz. There are so many spin-offs and tangents of some shows that we're simply losing track of where this is UC 79 or CE 45.
Do you ever pop in an anime that seemes really good, but the concepts of it are so old that you simply stop because it's just THAT reused? SO whats your take, are they/we really running out of things to make shows out of?
