      Animation peaked in the early 2000s? That is ridiculous, it’s more popular now than ever, with storylines and art at least as complicated and beautiful as 20 years ago.

      You just have a favorite movie from that time.

          In my comment, I specifically accept their opinion that princess mononoke is one of the best movies ever made, I’m disagreeing with their assertion that the entire genre of animation peaked at the same time one of their favorite movies was made.

          That’s completely ridiculous.

          That’s like if you really liked The matrix and stated “you know what, movies peaked in 2000.”

          If you read the count of monte Cristo and then said “books really peaked in 1844.”

          No, they didn’t, you just like that thing.

          Don’t make such a broad and absolute statement if you can’t deal with criticism.
