In anime circles in Japan, a hot discussion has arisen around the apparent lack of notable series during the current Winter-2024 season (January-March). According to Internet users, no anime series has managed to capture enough attention to be remembered in the future, which has generated a debate about the criteria to determine the relevance of a work in this medium.

Anime fans often consider several aspects when evaluating whether a series becomes relevant or not. The quality of the narrative and script is a crucial factor; A well-constructed plot and memorable characters often distinguish a series from the crowd. Originality and freshness are also valuedsince works that present novel ideas or approach genres in innovative ways tend to stand out more.

Technical quality, including animation and character design, significantly influences the perception of a series. Those with impressive visual production often capture attention and make a lasting impact on the audience. Additionally, critical reception and popularity with the public are important considerations; Series praised by critics and with a large following on social networks tend to be considered more relevant.

Finally, the cultural impact and duration in collective memory are key aspects. Some series become relevant not only because of their intrinsic quality, but also because of their lasting impact on popular culture and their ability to remain in viewers’ memories long after their original broadcast.
