I like to call No Game No Life as the "anime who puts pink filters on everything and I don't know why".

2014 sucked so far though.

I've barely watched anything in 2014 so far. At most maybe 5 shows.

Of course newer shows have better animation than the old ones. Pretty sure that's a no-brainer. And no, lolis are not what makes an anime good, pedophile.

I don't think the NGNL anime is made well, there are so much things not in order
Novel is better

I don't believe in a golden age being over the course a single year, I also think that a lot more anime's are being moe focused which displeases me a lot. The fact that there's an Akame ga kill! anime does make me happy, but I feel if you want to find the golden age, try focus less on animation quaility and focus on more important features such as good storylines and enjoyable chatacters. My current feeling is that the golden age would be anime before 2000. There some some amazing anime back then that are still good by today's standard

Please avoid double posting, you can put multiple quotes in a single post.

As for the topic, I won't say anything yet because the year is not over. Also, winter of 2014 is boring (I can't believe that I have Sakura Trick as top priority). Spring is better, No Game No Life and Black Bullet are nice. And it looks like there are some good stuff for summer. Fall seems to be filled with season 2, it can be really good or really bad. I won't say if 2014 is the golden age of anime, but spring is quite strong. Let's just wait and see if the next 2 seasons will be good.

Mahou Sensou that ending, what the... destroyed the original novel
Chūnibyō wasn't bad
Mikakunin de Shinkōkei was funny, not sure about others

You just contradicted yourself. You say 2014 is the "Golden Age of Anime" and you're saying NGNL is good-tier only. That's far from masterpiece and I'm sure as hell it's far also far from golden.

I dropped Mahou Sensou and just finished Chuunibyou. At least, I had D-Frag! to keep me laughing.

If I had to pick one year, it would be 2006.
-Code Geass
-Death Note
-Jigoku Shōjo
-D.Gray Man (okay I don't really like this one tbh, but it's popular for a reason)
-.hack//Roots
-Black Lagoon
-Gintama's beginning
-N.H.K. ni Yōkoso
And several other great shows that probably deserve more attention.

I don't think I've seen so many great shows in the same year since then.

Well who cares about anything else, 2014 had Love Live s2, the series that took Bakemonogatari's and Madoka's first week BD selling records for a tv broadcasted anime, and soon to take the cumulative BD sales from them as well. On top of that, it even outsold the first week sales of the recent eva movie. You just can't deny the numbers. 2014 is the greatest year of anime yet!!!!

I hope you realize I am being quite sarcastic despite quoting a fact. 1 anime doesn't make an age, and I seriously hope a age is not defined as being 1 year long. While, this year seems to have quite a few high profile sequals lined up (Love Live s2, SAO s2, Free s2), that is not what defines a golden age, unless you are talking about the age of sequals. Regardless, I don't want to debate the defintion of a golden age, and what was accomplished to make any age better than another. As time changes, certain high selling series set trends for companies to follow.

On another note, NGNL's anime is better than the novel imo. The author is really long winded at times, and the anime adds a few jokes that make it a more entertaining experience.
