TV shows are safer bets now, so if you want to see more daring projects that's the way to go.
I've also had enough Hollywood. The last two times I went to the theatre were for The Handmaiden (South Corean, big budget) and Your Name (Japanese, animated masterpiece).
The problem is, there have been better alternatives to Ghost in the Shell since (most notably Ergo Proxy), and Death Note was only good for 12-15 years old newcomers to anime in their chuuni phase.
Overall only animes that reached cult status in their time get adapted, but once they are outdated in bth their themes and story structure (The rhythm in japanese animation got so much better after 2009 that older shows always feel outdated now, with a few exceptions). They could be modernized in their adaptations but that would anger the target audience.
I'll still go to the theatre for Ghost in the Shell just because SJWs think a caucasian actor shouldn't play a synthetic body, lol.

Yes the current seasonal anime produce masterpieces that are sometimes easily forgotten. But Gintama is as awesome as it has always been. Logan was awesome as well. People for some reason like Attack on titan and naruto a lot when things like Drifters Tokyo Ghoul ACCA Onihei are much better. But in terms of anime, Nothing rivals Gintama

If we are going for super popular comedy series, Jojo at least rivals Gintama.
In more niche stuff, osomatsu san is gold, in a more slice of life kind there is Tekyuu, etc.
But I'm more of a josei, shojo 15-18 and slice of life psychological seinen type. I'll only be satisfied when A girl on the Shore gets adapted by an indie movie maker.
