It also ignores that this cycle has happened multiple times with many genres. Before Isekai the "slice of life" genre was fucking everywhere and just as much filled with garbage.
And much like that one, in a few more years all the "wierd loser" shows will have been forgotten completely and only the really landmark ones will have a place.
I actually miss when human x monster romance anime were the cyclical trend.
All those vampires, male and female on all of these mind you, fairies, zombies, demons, you still see one show of it per season or two (sugar fairy this season, FemHuman x sociopathic murderer fairy slave presented as wholesome romance) but it's nowhere near the dominance it had before.
Then K-On hit, and most romance anime were wiped out by Slice Of Life for several years.
monster girls deserve love too!
I wish I could hate K-on, but as a guy who loves Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh (probably the prototypes of "cute girls doing funny things") it would make me a hypocrite.
And don't forget Call of the Night last year, probably one of the best vampire series in general in a long while.
K-On was a great show. Truly a star in the CGDCT genre. That's why it spawned so many imitators.
There is no shame in liking a trendsetter, even if the follow-ups coming from it suck.
