That's undoubtedly true.

But by the same measure, there's also actually more great anime being put out now that there was in the past - again, just measured by sheer volume rather than percentage.

And while I wouldn't disagree with that, it goes even further contrary to the rose-tinted view of the past, and thus even further from my point.

I didn't mean to say or imply anything specific about the standards of one or another era of anime. My only point is that people need to be aware of the fact that they can't make summary judgments regarding relative quality by pointing to all of the recognized great anime of the past, because that's necessarily what's remembered. The basis for any such judgment is necessarily skewed by the fact that over time, the great ones are remembered and the awful ones are forgotten.

That's all.
