No, they won't run out of ideas. They might combine elements from other anime, but they wont.

I'm pretty sure a lot of anime creators have already been out of ideas for quite a long time. Either that or they're holding out on us.

Did comic book creators run out of ideas 50 years after their creations? Well... some people may say yes, while some people view them as fresh. Really, 15 years from now, there will bound to be people who still see anime, or any animation for that matter, as pretty fresh. And some people won't. Ideas are virtually limitless. Sorta. |

Well, if Hollywood has run out of ideas, it sure didn't stop them, did it? I don't see them necessarily running out of ideas by some set date.

i kinda find it hard to say that because the people creating anime in 2020 will undoubtably be different from those who are creating it today. Hopefully those fresh young minds will also have fresh new ideas. As technology gets better creators will be able to play with new ideas that they, perhaps, have been holding in reserve for the right moment.
Anyway you can think of this in two different ways. Throughout our history, people have told stories (a simplified look at what anime is), you can say that, we've either already run out of stories and are simply rehashing what already been told or that each new generation has reinvented the art of storytelling. In either case, there isnt much to suggest that well run out of ideas by that specific date. |

How about Love Hina 2020.
Harem series has already ran out of idea yet new ones keep coming and people still eat it up...just add a gimmick like robot maids or alien teachers. And we'll likely see a new Gundam series. |

It will be strange because things like Ghost in The Shell will have to become even more farfetched and futuristic because some things may become reality... I'm not suggesting we'll have invisible cyborgs sneaking around or anything, just that our technology will be much more advanced and that alone may create new ideas. Anyway I have heaps of ideas, people have different capacities for creativity... I mean I've got heaps of ideas that would make a good plot for an anime series, I don't intend to make an anime or anything but if the industry runs out of ideas, there'll be lots of people who will gladly contribute ideas.
And it's not a crime to borrow plots from other series and add them to a new one and make it a lot better. |

No. There will be new anime creators by then.
And hopefully they'll start coming in soon. |

That's absurd. It makes me wonder if Athenians thought "Man, entertainment can't get any better than this! Playwrights are going to run out of ideas in the next 20 years for sure!" after Sophocles wrote Oedipus the King... |

I believe in general, the ideas will start to bear massive similarities. Even now, across cultures, we can see the numerous stories that overlap with at least some similar or exat element. Just look at Marvel's Blade and then look at Vampire Hunter D (which were both around in the same time frame, if you trace them back to their comic and novel respectively). Both stories portrayed a half human half vampire who is incredibly powerful and hateful of his own kind. Then you could parallel Negima with Harry Potter. Both are glasses wearing British wizards who take part in a huge adventure. Granted Potter stays around in england, while Negima goes on to teach english in Japan.
Even Gigantor and Godzilla share a similar tone. Godzilla is the monster born of Nuclear fallout, that mostly destroys Japan, but in other instances, rises forth to be its savior. Gigantor is the giant machine designed after World War II, to battle against any nation that tries to use an atomic weapon. Eventually Gigantor's post WWII purpose would be shourded and he would go on to simply champion good and right wrongs...but you get the idea. In the end, no matter how similar or exact a story may become, we are all only concerned with the process. The journey is more important sometimes, than the destination. Tell me the same kind of story five times in a row and I may get bored. Tell me the same story, but with a different twist to it, and i may get hooked every time. This is how I view human creativity. |

So, when is the next video game live action or anime movie due?  Nah, I don't think anime will get stale all that soon. They might reuse, renew, recycle stuff, but I don't see it running out of ideas for a very, very long time.

Humans never run out of ideas. Our minds are chaotic, random and creative. We'll only run out of ideas when we get smashed to peices by an exploding sun or an abnormally large comet.
