Man, that easily summed up this whole vid 😁

@@BrahHD funny thing is I typed it up while watching the first few minutes of your review, and then added in the kudos to your amv after watching the whole thing.

A lot of those shows are successful not because they reinvent the wheel but because they either a) introduce something new or b) have generic but enjoyable characters. These latter cases are usually either power fantasies (sword art online) or underdog type stories with a heroic journey narrative overall (AoT, K-ON). For true classics of the ones you listed, shows that many people will come back to ten years later or watch again and again, I would list (that i've also seen): 2010: Durarara, Angel Beats, Monogatari, Sora No Wo To 2011: Madoka Magica, Stein's Gate, Fate/Zero 2012: Hyouka, Sword Art Online, Girls und Panzer (the anime that became a genre unto itself and put the real Oorai city on the map), Love, Chuunibyou, and other delusions. 2013: Attack on Titan, Devil is a Part Timer, Kill la Kill 2014: Noragami, NGNL, Akame ga Kill, Your Lie in April 2015: One punch man, Danmachi 2016: Konosuba, Re:Zero, Re:Life, Drifters (maybe) 2017: Kobayashi-San's Maid Dragon, Re:Creators (this will get more popular over time, if Amazon ever drops the exclusivity), Shuumatsu, Maid in Abyss, The Magician's Bride 2018: Violet Evergarden, Stein's;Gate Zero, Delinquent does not dream of a bunny girl, A place further than the universe, Goblin slayer 2019: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Fire-Force, F/GO Babylonia and /or Oresuki. Things I'm leaving out and why, other than not having seen it: -Jojo's Bizarre adventure: I'm stumped on why anyone would think this would be a classic; beyond the over the top execution and memes, this seems to be a "so bad it's good" show. It's overdone, and by the end of the second season it doesn't really bring anything new to the table. -Overlord: A straight power fantasy, and an obnoxious one at that. Neither the storytelling or visuals are that remarkable. -Tokyo Ghoul: doesn't do anything that blood plus / blood C or Gantz didn't do before it. It's another shonen action series. - Black Clover: Complete with an obnoxious main character, it's a Naruto/Boruto replacement, and intended for the same audience. Whatever it does, Demon Slayer does better and in a more interesting world. -Shield Hero: having read the manga, I can safely say that Shield Hero brings nothing new to the table that Sword Art Online or Re:Zero hasn't done in some other way (power trip / persecuted hero), and like sword art online the main carrying power of Shield Hero is in its female cast.

Not looking likely

"But I feel like it failed miserably at creating a story that lives up to the premise itself." If anything that's because the majority of the audience misinterpreted the premise. Part of this is the show's fault, as the execution could have been better. Regardless, what the majority of the audience *thought* the premise was is Fate / Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works meets Last Action Hero meets Inkheart. The reality is that Re:Creators isn't an action show but a drama about creators and the creative process, one which takes place against the backdrop of a reverse portal fantasy where the creators are literally shown their work and forced to come to terms with it. The show is as much about Sota's journey as a human being and an artist as it is the clash between Altair as a tool of Setsuna's revenge and genre-representing characters. Moreover, it would seem that you also fell for the same trap as many of the viewers; your choice of shows to mention, all of them generic shonen action series that rely on clever execution of spectacle fights to tell their stories, indicates that you also saw Re:Creators as an action show, and completely missed the point that the show's narrative and the drama behind it were trying to make. "Recreators, however, has failed to stay in the spotlight even just weeks after it's final episode aired... again" You can blame Amazon (and their bungled translation) for that. There weren't many who were willing to cough up $20 or more per month and, unlike Crunchyroll and Funimation, Amazon didn't (and still doesn't) have the "wait a week and it's free with annoying ads" option for those who didn't want to cough up the subscription fee.

@@alexandrecharron-trudel1642 pretty sure even without the amazon thing it would have faded away

@HaloRocks this show isnt a underrated classic its a good example of great idea, poor execution

@HaloRocks uh not exactly the show l has many criticism and complaints saying similar things

@HaloRocks look at op comment in this chain they said it failed horribly in execution
