There were plenty of good shows in 2023 though? Even excluding Frieren and shonens (since I’m assuming based on what you said, you aren’t interested in them) there was also Apothecary Diaries which aired during the same season. Oshi No Ko was pretty good also (the first episode is by far the best, imo the rest of the show is still pretty good tho). Those definitely stood out the most to me but I did enjoy a lot of the 2023 shows I watched.
Yeah I don’t expect so many people to have the same opinion but for me I didn’t really like anything in 2023. My personal “golden age” is 2006-2011 and I can pull up any year at random (say, 2010) and find a bunch of personal favorites (second season of K-On!, best season of Hidamari Sketch, The Tatami Galaxy, my beloved B-Gata H-Kei) and other stuff I think I might enjoy (Katanagatari, PSG, Kuragehime, etc.)
Whereas the only things I liked in 2023 were the Hibike! Euphonium movie and (to a much milder degree) Frieren.
Probably not a widespread belief, but yeah 2023 is the worst year for anime imo
