Yeah. Big cast anime tend to do that. Especially with the unique 'mass' or whatever it is, chasing them, and the character designs. I definitely get what you're talking about.

No none at all, if anything this seems straight out of 2011 in premise and visuals, though it might be because almost everything about this series screams guilty crown to me, not in actual premise just in visual style, expected tone, and probably due to pessimistic thinking the same quality which is not a good thing.

Yes!!! I remember a anime that was exactly the same.
The world was devastated with a mass that infected every human it touches. The MC and his team use some suits to protect themselves from the mass but are useless. Than the MC has a mission to protect a girl that is the key to fight the infection, she summons a monster made of light or something.
And that is the only things I can remember, it was the first mecha anime I saw on TV I think. Tried to find the name but it's to difficult to find...

This anime gives me the "Ibara no Ou" vibe. Not so classic though.

I agree - I have a feeling I saw a few anime from before I started watching anime that were broadly similar to this one.

im 3 episodes deep, just adding onto my previous comment, absolutely 0 classical vibes whatsoever. Everything from the look, tone, and pacing screams late 00's to early 10's in anime and unfortunately is littered with cliches from that time.

I also remember Bounen no Xamdou has similar aura. But I forgot if the story is that similar.
Yeah. It seems I have also watched some anime that similar, but I can't recall the title.
There were many anime like this and I like it.

I remember the anime, AICO is just like Zaion: I Wish You Were Here. The same story, almost a carbon copy.

I think it's the OP/ED songs, muted colors and suspense that give it a 2000s vibe, even though that is not that long ago. Particularly the part where they show Aiko running in the OP. The character designs are sort of like other Bones series from the 2010s though.

I haven't seen the series but the way they draw female characters reminds me of haruhiko mikimoto which may be a factor.

Yup, other than the animation style everything from the story to the music to the characters all give off a mid-2000 era vibe.

The art felt inspired by that period, easily the best part of the show I think. The art director has been around a while so the influence likely came from there.
