Anime In say... 500-1000 years?

[BasharOfTheAges]

After the pole shift in 2012, the lucky survivors of that unfortunate event will band together and try to survive on a new barren and hostile continent that has risen out of the Atlantic ocean. Not surprisingly, there will be very few surivors, and very few remaining artifacts from our once great civilization. Our survivors will eventually stumble upon ancient ruins that were once buried beneath miles of frigid waters, what is left of Atlantis.

There will be huge stone pillars, with engravings, detailing the lives of those long past. There will be a 12,000 year old advertisement for an Atlantean harem moeblob show with one guy and 6 girls chiseled into the stone. Only then will our survivors realize, Atlantis had an Akibahara too.

Thank you ZS. You made my day.

500-1000 years? The world would have been destroyed by nuclear weapons already. All it takes is one person to start another WWIII, this time though, we have bigger and more destructive bombs.

Damn it! Not another WWIII!

Not only did Atlantis have it's own Akibahara, Atlantis also had lots of space ships and rockets, and they went to the moon and left their ruins there as well. This is a picture taken in 1969 of the dark side of the moon. Just thought you'd like to know.

Anime: the oldest hobby of the world?

Anime: the oldest hobby of the world?

Only after sex.

Anime: the oldest hobby of the world?

Only after sex.

That's not so much of hobby as a necessity to let humanity live on.
But I degress, back on topic now:

Anime industry is dying right now, or so do some prominent studios say. In any case this fall season has half of the shows that were broadcasted last year, if that's any sign of a decline.
Selling figures aren't exactly going to fill people with hope either due to the numbers lowering...

we dont know if we would be living by that time and if the world would be there! Why worry about the anime in 500-1000 years! Just have fun watching the anime which is available now.

[JimMask]

yeah it might happen but I think those traditions will be in touch because they are some valuable cultures.

[Malificus]

In the future all anime will be:

pre-apocalyptic historical-fiction gun punk war dramas

post-post-apocalyptic high school anti-harem romance comedies where 1 man must find true, monogamist romance, fighting back the societal pressure to sex as many women as possible

fantasy shows where magic never existed. acting as political commentaries on how limited resources would alter the world the people of the future live in.

Hmm seeing as I was present at the time, I should mention that most visual forms of entertainment are not even 100 years old for the most part.

I grew up thinking a black n white 13 channel TV was pretty much modern.

In 500 years?

I suspect that in 500 years, providing we haven't done something VERY dumb as a species, and if Mother Nature hasn't finally gotten tired of people saying 'oh that will never happen', that the human race likely will have created forms of 'entertainment' which likely will exceed the collective imagination of our forum community

Can you imagine being able to render an artificial form of entertainment all through the power of direct input to the brain?
Not requiring the need for any actual form of hardware other than what was playing the signal to your brain. Being able to actually 'feel' like you were actually PART of the anime.
