Modern anime is becoming more ambitious than ever—bigger worlds, deeper lore, multiple timelines, and stories packed with twists. But is this increasing complexity actually making anime better, or is it causing many series to lose coherence, emotional weight, and narrative clarity?

In this video, we analyze why so many recent anime feel overwritten, overexplained, or structurally messy despite having incredible ideas. We break down the evolution of storytelling in anime, the pressure for high-concept narratives, and how some shows succeed while others collapse under their own ambition.

If you love anime analysis and want to understand why some modern series feel confusing or inconsistent, this deep dive is for you.
