Reading my "MyAnimeList wrap up" was a wake up call.
Why do normies like you use MAL?
>>285086232NTA. You're not morally superior for using a notebook instead of a website.
>>285086232MAL is older than you, zoomertard.
would be nice if I remembered to update my MAL
>>285086148A wake up call to pump those rookie numbers, I hope?
>>285086232NTA, but I like to keep track of the stuff I watch or read. I've been using MAL for more than 15 years now, so it's become a habit. I also keep everything in a Word document.
>>285086232It's very easy to use. Also>normies
>>285086148>Using MALHoly performative retard.
>>285086232>normieFuck off back to where you came from.
>>285086407>>285086232>Do I fit yet, guys?
>>285086232>normiesyou can say "fag" here faggot. lurk forever.
Virgin mal user vs chad remembering every anime i watched in my head 3000 IQ user
>>285086148Using MAL in 2026 should be your wakeup call.
The problem with mal is that the community is mainly made up of reddit teens and the discussion is vapid and shallow. It's only useful for ordering anime, but there are more detailed websites for that.
I use anilist btw
>>285086232
>>285086693>>285086691I wanted to swap to anilist but been using MAL since 2009 and cant be fucked to change.
>>285086148The problem is that MAL has such a bullshit system and 155 "anime" are really just 30 different anime because it lists every season and OVA as a different anime for whatever reason
>>285086851They let you export your MAL list and convert it if you care
>>285086148>MyAnimeListFMABtard and Steinstard colony
>>285086232>normies>critizing MAL userpot calling the kettle black lol
>>285086851The ui is better, but they have less novels. The community is literally the same because anilist promoted itself as the future mal and let you export the list (the rankings are the same, but less people is always better for diacussion though)
anilist and mal have the exact same community ever since MAL got hit offline in like 2017 and anilist had to take all the refuges
>>285086852The amount of hours spent is right there. It's an average of 2-3 hours per day.
>>285087602That's not much
>>285086852>because it lists every season and OVA as a different anime for whatever reasonThat is normal for anime cataloging sites. They are actually different productions.
>>285087801No it's not. MAL started doing it and everyone else just copied it.
Wait, really?Do people not read manga?
>>285087845AniDB did it before MAL even existed, retard.
>>285086232>NormiesWay to fuck youself right off the get go anon. But for me I find it’s the easiest way to look at VA and staff info on anime, it’s the most as aesthetically pleasing to be able to arrange and order how I want to look at everything they’ve worked on. And Anilist is fine enough too for that.
>>285087905more like you don't read manga or you'd know how shitty MAL is for tracking mangaeveryone uses mangaupdates instead
>>285087916It literally doesn't but OK
>MAL thread frontpage on /a/>Backlogged thread front page on /v/>Letterbox thread front page on /tv/Lol you monkies are all the same. I use MAL nearly everyday
>>285086232>normies
>>285086873>>285087331I only use it to track anime and LN and have never used it for discussion anyway so not really a issue. Part of why never felt pressure to change.
How would (You) rate my most time spent?For context Orb and Trillion Game were weeklies that carried into this year. I watched the first part of Gundam fairly quick to get context beforehand for Gqux. And I finally wanted to watch Hidamari and God only Knows, and paced those out fairly slowly.
>>285086851You shouldn't change just because some anonymous users on a Chinese basket-weaving forum are a hivemind and are triggered by a harmless website.
>>285088011It literally does.
>>285088003MU has more stuff (And I can add new things immediately unlike MAL where nothing I've tried adding was actually added. Anilist is in between and is pretty good with adding stuff too.) but it's pretty bare bones in terms of tracking. It doesn't actually log anything and you can't get any stats from it. I also think you're wrong anyway. So many people use MAL for anime and don't read manga much at all.
>>285088024MAL is not a terrible site except for the toplist. The top 5-10 especially is filled almost entirely with garbage and overhyped anime like SnK and S;G.
>>285088367I love Hidamari Sketch so much so you get an A++ from me.
>>285088003Last time I checked. they were missing a bunch of loli doujins. It is the only reason I use MAL over anilist or mangaupdates.
>>285088530It was a great, aesthetically pleasing time every episode.
It was a Masterpiece Theater year.
For me, it's anilist. I only use it to track what I read and watch. I use goodreads for books
>>285088760>Mai Hime>Blood+Patrician taste
The year I finally sat down to watch some stuff I had on my backlog since forever (the so called season 0 of Yu-Gi-Oh is fantastic), and rewatch some of the anime from my childhood (I can't believe it has been more than 20 years since I first watched CCS on TV).
>>285088777What do you need to track what you read and watch for?
>>285086148looking at my torrent history I watched...4 shows from this year. 90% of new anime is trash.
>>285089145Is this a rhetorical question? The same reason most of the others ITT do, I would presume.
>>285088504They have bleach, jujutsu and one piece in the top 100. The top 5 order is good compared to the rest
>>285086232>normiesbesides, someone who watches 150 anime a year is okay in my books
>>285089212No I'm asking you what you reason is. I suppose you could call it rhetorical because I'm going to call you a retard whatever garbage excuse you give for not just being able to remember what you've watched.
>>285089593uh oh some normalfag had a tantrum and can't even type properly
>>285086148My MAL wrapped thing is only about half of what I actually watch. I just use MAL primarily for the social aspect, it's tied to some other bordering on IRL things, so I don't log everything there.Like, I completely forgot to log anything in Fall even though that was one of my busier times for seasonals, so I'm just missing that entire season. But eh, this fits well enough.
>>285089060Watched a lot of long anime this year huh, commendable.
>>285089215Top 100 is not too crazy and is forgivable to me.>The top 5 order is good compared to the restNo those shows are shit
>>285090200>bleach>jujutsu kaisen>demon slayerThe top 100 is a mixed bag of popular ones and good ones
>>285086232>normiesyou won't fitand I use it as alternative from writing down anime I watched in notepad
>>285086232>normiesnormalFAGS anon, but you're right, anilist is better
>>285090200I'll never understand why Steins;Gate and FMAB are so high. Even Frieren I can get why even though it's not my favorite.
>>285091322>why Steins;Gate and FMAB are so highThey're good shows that a lot of active users watched when they were getting in to anime and their enjoyment of it was at its peak
>>285091017Don't post that because now i feel like a guy trying to fit in hard when i write normalfag.
>>285091322What shows are better to be at the top of mal? It's a list that many people vote on, so the top should be anime that everyone can consume and that are as inoffensive as possible; they also have to be popular because the top is artificial as fuck (fmab and snk fans bombing everything). A slow drama is not going to be the top anime, even if its the best, it would need a tournament arc and sakuga at least
>>285086232Person that been watching anime for 35 years and never ever used MAL before here, I envy OP, after a certain point you really want to use something like MAL, my notebooks and REAL notes are a total mess.>why don't you use it anonI have this retarded mentality of "I'm way too late into the game to start using it now" and every year I regret not having started using it...
>>285091399>They're good showsI don't agree with that part, but the rest sure.
>>285091712>I have this retarded mentality of "I'm way too late into the game to start using it now" and every year I regret not having started using it...If you really want to do something, just go ahead and do it. You can't go back in time, so today is actually the easiest day for you to start using it or something equivalent. The next easiest day is tomorrow. Might as well stop putting it off and just go ahead
>MAL thread still up>Newfags seriously discussing>Some even admiting using mal/other similar shitThis place is dead
>>285086148>mal>>285086232>normies
>>285088502I read ongoing shit in moonrunes with over 900 tracked manga and I think I must have encountered this issue like twice. Probably because I don't read the latest shit unless it has 3 or 4 volumes out.At any rate, I would sacrifice MU's content over usability at any second. Checking magazine titles, other manga by the same author, adaptations and stuff is a lot easier on MAL for the very simple reason it doesn't look or work like a website from 2004.
>>285091017>anilistNo, you're still a faggot and a bioweapon.
>>285092419Newer stuff is probably more likely to be added. But I just bought 3 older (90s) digital manga with leftover points on Amazon Japan and none of them are on MAL. Or Anilist.
>>285086148>MAL
>>285091679LotGH is already close to the top of mal and if blows the hell out of everything else in the top 10. I don't see the point of trying to justify shit like FMAB and S;G being there when they don't deserve it and you're even correct about the scores being botted.
>>285086148>>285086232Both of you are what's wrong with this board.
>>285087905Normalfags don't read manga.
>>285096911You are so special, anon.
>>285091847What's wrong with MAL? Aside from the community, of course
>>285086148I stopped trusting the ratings there after watching Steins;Gate and finding it to be garbage.
>>285086232Is my account older than you? You can confess, nobody will ever know...
I should watch more /m/ this year, there's still a lot of classics I haven't watched yet.
>>285086232I mostly use it because the API lets me automate fetching torrents.
>>285086232It's a convenient place to keep track of shows I have watched and plan to watch, and to look up what shows are coming out each season.
>>285086148>MALOptions field
>>285098905Fellow Gundam starter
>>285091322Frieren is worse.
>>285096818Now you're just being a faggot mad that not everyone has the same taste as him. What are you, 17? The fact that a more niche show is rated high should be enough for you. I just looked at the top 50 right now and it's fucking dire, somehow that new Chainsawman movie is 2nd. If you were a mature individual you would simply not care about a top in any stupid fucking tracking website and just use the stupid website to track your shit, you simply cannot be a 25-35 year old STILL mad about mal rankings after 10 to 20 years. Who gives a shit, at lest it's not naruto.
>>285086148mine was pretty light, definitely less than last year's
>>285100518All three of them are pretty bad in my opinion.
people shilling anilist but they don't have an end of year wrap up
>>285100927They do, but the way they do it is they have a single image that they post to your timeline. I signed up for it but I don't know when it's going to be done.
>>285100816Yeah, but Frieren is still worse.
What are your "hot takes?"
>>285101513Ruri is 2025 AOTY chud
>>285101513
stop making me want to use MAL
>>285101513Silent witch one is accurate. The audience is wrong
>>285086232It's good, you're not special just because you don't use it
Fight me
>>285086148>1000 hours of anime watched in a yearThat's not even a lot, only 3 months of watching anime 12 hours a day. You still had 9 more months to watch more.
>>285101513Takopii was my Aoty, it really feels like the kind of show you recommend to people 10 years from now.
Fuck off, all of you
>>285086232I just use anilst and MAL as a tracker but ignore the websites completely outside of that. It's useful to track what's coming out but discussion on these sites suck shithttps://malsync.moe/
>>285101697>I want to use it but /a/ will make fun of me for it!
>reddit thread
>>285102436Huh, I'll try this thing out.
>>285101513Black Lagoon is fucking horrible.
>>285086148>2.5x playback anons unite!
You did ignore the social aspects of the website, right anon?
>>285086148Mods, him!
>>285086148I made a MAL account like 12 years ago and just kinda forgot to use it after a few months.
>>285102624Surprised you made it through the first season.
Taste coming through
>>285101513I feel like a hot take should be something that's 4 or more stars different, not barely over or under 2
>>285103349It gives you the highest negative delta whatever that happens to be. That anon's fault for being of those fags who rates everything 6 or above
>>285103310I would never live with myself if I didn't give the whole thing a fair shot. I didn't watch the maid OVA, though.
>>285101513"Hotter" than most "takes" here, since most don't seem to use all the scores
I don't care if you just use MAL to track shit but if you use it to stroke your epeen then you're an attentionwhoring faggot and should fuck offThat goes for every single one of you posting MAL screenshots in this thread
I dont get the hate for MAL. I just use it to track my anime/manga. I guess the only problems happen when you use it for gay shit like socializing.
>>285103623you're two weeks too late to be a grinch anon
>>285086648Even in 2012, this shit was embarrassing to use. GRIM that it exists and that NPC faggots like OP give it the time of day.
>>285103623>mindbroken by MALI just wouldn't care about it, and obviously, hide this thread because it was made by an annoying fag
>>285103635I don't think anyone on /MAL/ does gay shit like socializing, or showering for that matter
>>285101820The aura from this post is too strong....
>>285103635The hate for MAL is because it's a popular site where a bunch of normalfags say stupid and basic opinions, which, again, the problem is the forums and stuff like that, the tracking in itself is fine. Unkess someone is one of those who think that tracking is useless, that you should track in a notebook or in an Office Word 2007 document at most
>>285103001Naturally
>>2851030014 of these are just the gambling feature
>>285103519I've only watched 3 of those, but from a production standpoint, those scores are just plain wrong. And from a story/enjoyment standpoint, you're being too harsh.
>>285103519Can I see your top 10?
>>285103623>strokes his epeen by making posts like this
>>285086232>normiesafraid of saying a swear, normalfag?
We don't hate normalfags enough actually.
>>285101513>your "hot takes?"The Chainsaw Man movie is WAY better than FMAB and S;G, and it's not close.
Also no 2025 anime watched in 2025.
Why do you need to "track" what you watched? Can't you just look at your downloads folder?
>>285106047You don't delete files after watching them?
>>285106073No? You think it's going to be available forever?
>>285101553Every episode feels the same with the reused plot point developments. The girls were hot though.>>285101669I need to hear your reasoning for giving Akira a 5.>>285101820Have you been watching anime for only 2-3 years? That's just my first impression.>>285103519Why waste your time watching these if you dislike them so much? 2nd and 3rd seasons of time squandered.
>>285106082I've already seen it? Why would I waste my time rewatching something I have already seen?
>>285106185
>>285103519Scorching
>MAL thread>up for 18 hoursthis site just gets worse and worse
>>285106593It's embarrassing. I saw the hot takes post above. So the site strokes people like "good little baby you're so speshul hot takes yay engagement". Isn't it social mediafication of the activity? How could this not have been made for secondaries, sure doesn't seem like any fun.An air of fakeness and irony to it. Fuck their stupid world.
>>285106484It's not that deep I'm just completing all of MAL's movie interest stacks.
>>285103708Badges? Anime achievements?
>>285086148Wow this looks really cool. I wish we had this 15-20 years ago when I was super active. Now I watch 20% of what I used to and update maybe half of it, so it wasn't properly reflected... I'll be more dilligent this year, this wrap up should serve as a nice motivation. It will be inflated by all the backup logging though. At least most of shows I watched, I did enjoy a lot.
>>285103519I could get the harsh drop off with something like OPM but those in your image haven't really changed that much compared to their previous seaons.You're just a moron who doesn't value himself if you watch sequels of shows you seem to hate.Or you like them but rate them low for internet elitist points which makes you even worse than a redditor. Good job fag, you fished some replies?
>>285103327>Maruko-chanWas it due to Ado's cover, revisiting childhood or some other reason?Nice picks anon.
>>285106185>Not a single romantic animeImagine living like this.
>>285086232I'm using it since May 2007. It's nearly 20 years now, why would I change tool that is intuitive and plenty for me?
>>285086852But that's a con of MAL. I like it this way
>>285106101>>285101669>>285101513>1 star less = hot takelmao
>>285086851i like how you can see when the next episode airs, its such a simple feature that for some reason mal cant get bothered to add
>>285101513Just to clarify, to me a “6” is a fine score. It means the show is entertaining and worth a watch. A “5” means it was average and just not for me (although I do have a soft spot for Kenzaburō).>>285102624I wouldn't call it horrible, but it was a huge disappointment. It was fine for the most part when it leaned into shlocky action with hot-chicks territory, but to me it's yet another proof of how overinflated the scores are for shows that aired on Toonami on MAL
>>285102624>>285103310I get giving something a fair bash but... If anime seems like it'll be shit within 2 or 3 episodes I just drop and forget about it. Why would you even push yourself to watch 2 seasons of something you dislike?Rating something 2/10 sounds like it suffers in so many fields that it can't possibly pick itself up from.
>>285103001>>285103708>Because MAL is more than just a tracking list siteKEK
>>285086148In my defense I got a new computer after having a shitty one for 10 years so I've been playing a lot more games also getting into vn's. And sometimes I just forget to add a show, I used to do it religiously but after getting over 500 it all starts to sort of blend together and I struggle to remember individual shows for very long unless they really stood out.
Why the fuck is this thread still upYou faggots can attentionwhore all you want on MAL itself/a/ is not your blog
>>285101820>dr reddit... No thanks happy for you though.
>>285098333Nothing. Unless you use its 'top' lists to decide what to watch - in that case you're a retard. The only seething MAL generates is from a bunch of normalfags who can't get over some anime making it to the top while others don't.
I didn't watch enough to gather a full set but these are all objectively correct ratings.
How is this thread still active? Was there a reddit raid or something? Fuck mal and its community.
>>285107158I watched Dandadan to hate it but dropped S2 like 3 episodes in since I couldn't be bothered anymore, Yofukashi no Uta's S2 was much worse than the first one, I used to think Spy x Family was good but each season is worse than the last I dropped S3, that's the explanation for the sequels. I dropped every single one of those 5 a couple of episodes in except Yofukashi no Uta
>>285110110Who said anything about the community? It's just an aggregation tool. No different than anilist or a pen and paper. No one is forcing you to use their forums or read their reviews.
>>285110150I was worried at first because I really liked call of the night season one but seeing your tastes in general are so poor I'm guessing it's just a (You) thing and the season season is probably fine as well. Also>I watched Dandadan to hate itYou're a certified retard, like an actual real retard that has to work at a goodwill or one of those recycling centers. Imagine actually hatewatching something, your time is less valuable than a mcdonalds employee.
>>285110110Multiple posts asking why it’s up, helped keep it up for starters
>>285110150Okay, that's a lot more fair, even if I personally disagree about harshness of quality drop off.
>>285110191Well, yeah, I'm a weirdo I guess. Hatewatching is retarded I agree, that's why I've done it less and less with time, but I haven't gotten rid of that habit
>>285086148That's a nice feature, thanks for bringing it to my attention
>>285110430i tried hatewatching yojohan shinwa taikei once. stopped a few episodes in when i realized i was just really bored instead of angry
>>285110578Why did you pre suppose you would hate it?
>>285089593Come on. Can you effortlessly recall what you watched 4.5 years ago, whether you liked it and why?we all know the answer.
>>285089593nta, but I like to categorize what I watched, I do remember what I liked but I find it fun to put notes and scores on it, that's pretty much it for me
>>285110764It doesn't matter what the specific value is. What matters is if everybody uses the same metric, so that the comparison can make sense. And everybody counts anime the way MAL does. Also, if you actually bothered to look things up instead of brainlessly shitposting, you would have realized that shorts and OVAs are grossly underrepresented, msot people forget they exist or forget to put them on the lists. So, majority of the count are actual anime seasons generally.You're making a big deal out of nothing. Literally inventing an issue in your head because you feel you need to hate MAL for something to fit in.
>>285110617i found the masaaki yuasa directed clips i've seen from devilman crybaby and ping pong the animation to be insanely ugly. also the characters were speaking super fast in the trailer so i assumed it's be annoying to follow the dialogue only for that to only be a thing for the opening minutes of the first episode. lastly the show has a good reputation and i'm usually a contrarian
>>285110881Did you regularly watch anime trailers? Did you actually watch ping pong or just the trailer?
>>285101513I generally drop shows that I see are bad and don't bother rating them, unless the beginning is good enough to keep me watching.This year, Takopii takes the "dogshit of the year" nomination. But of course, good visuals and clumsy tear-jerkers are enough to secure normalfaggot loyalty.
>>285103635There was a lot of hate for MAL's community which I understand and I think people get mad about the top ranking anime, but I don't know why people just dislike it on principle. There's nothing wrong with using MAL as a resource. I guess people just conflate all those things together as bad.
That was a decent year.
>>285110913>did you regularly watch anime trailersnot really. i was curious that time if i'd find the anime similarly hideous>did you actually watch ping pongit was this scene i watched https://youtu.be/IURpfyb29uQ
>>285111092Alright but again did you ever actually watch ping pong?
>>285111110that's a no
>>285111066Yeah it was understandable in the past but not nowadays when most of board's culture was forcibly removed and replaced with shounenshitters who are even below average MALtard. Overall /a/ is still the best place in Western sphere for the sake of talking about various anime but acting elitist toward MAL is quite tone-deaf at this point.Plus, as you say, it's a legit good resource which didn't go full retard web 2.0 woke the way anilist did with their banning of 'trap' as a slur etc.

>>285088760How many times have you rewatched each of these series?
>>285111274
>>285111296
>>285111335
This is the only stat that matters.
>>285110954That show was so bad, terrible storytelling. People see a character crying, then start crying and think it is a masterpiece. Takopi is the equivalent to sad facebook ai videos. It's unbelievable that it's the medium with the best dramas, but people applaud crap like this. Also howl castle and maquia, which look good but are written terribly
>>285111393No it doesn't matter. Old anime tend to be 50, 100 or 150 episodes long. I've spent way more time watching old anime and classics than new ones (as you should) yet this stat makes me look like a brainrotted zoomer because of this.
>MAL thread/a/ has fallen
>>285111631And yet it has contributed more honest discussion than you have this entire year.
>>285111293Last year was the first time I watched each of those series and only watched them once.
>>285111447>That show was so bad, terrible storytelling.>Also howl castle and maquia, which look good but are written terriblyStuff like this is why I can't take most of what you fags say seriously. You must have watched an extremely limited amount of anime to find any of those "terribly" written.
>>285111655Retard.
>>285111631It's better than every single battle shonen general, not a high bar, I know
grim
>>285111797To be fair the site is called MyAnimeList.
>>285111335Mortisbros…
>>285111674I'm exaggerating, but they're not as good as the normaflags say; they clearly have writing problems
>>285111393Is this shit where the retard phrase "seasonal anime" comes from? Holy newfag shit.
>>285086148How can some people bingewatch like there's no tomorrow? I can only watch 2-3 episodes a day.
>>285111923It's cute how you're pretending.Reality is, the term is used by lots of people because it's a natural one people come up with independently regardless. You don't need to see it somewhere first.
>>285111951Not actively seeking employment, education or training.
>>285111953>It's cute how you're pretending.What?>the term is used by lots of people Lots of retarded people. Almost all anime was "seasonal". Don't pretend they're not treating "seasonal" as some sort of inherent property instead of how you watched it, you dick sniffing faggot brainlet newfag.
>>285111951some people don't have other interestsI spent most of my time listening/making music then read manga for an hour in bed at night. whereas some people just read manga all day
>>285111951>I can only watch 2-3 episodes a day.Yet you have time to post here "bussy" anny.
>>285111135You should fix your mistake before it becomes a life long blemish on your soul.
>>285111249and the devil laughed
>>285112134Is this worth watching if I'm not really into yuri? Is there anything going on besides girls molesting girls?
>>285110954>I generally drop shows that I see are bad and don't bother rating themSame, also for Takopii I thought it was solid story-wise up until some choices in the 5th and 6th episodes, but I thought the ending was fine even if they were going for a tearjerker. Despite the sacrifice it took, I do wish they stuck to the no more time rewinds And overall it is an incredibly stylish production and it’s style adds to the story, very impressive.
>>285112249It’s mainly about just about it that with a light plot fueling different scenarios of that with varying fetishes applied. Also I still like the manga best.
>>285112010You'll regret the way you're behaving in a couple of years. Nothing I say to you will have any effect at the moment unfortunately, you're in very poor state of mind.
>>285112249Do you dislike the idea of yuri in general or simply don't care about it? It's a major selling plot point for sure but if you don't mind it, it's still a good ecchi/comedy to know. I find MC being "evil" and willing to abuse other girls sexually very fun.
>>285112346>You'll regret the way you're behaving in a couple of years.I don't know what you're fantasizing about, but I have watched late night anime for about 18 years. My point stands. Calling an anime "seasonal" is a newfag or retard thing that makes no sense.You will understand when you get older, underage retard.
>>285112515It makes sense to call something seasonal, the way that it is used is the retarded one
>>285111631100 threads hidden at any given time for over half a decade at this point and you and others like you trying to fit in are still feigning outrage over people noting down their shit on a convenient database rather than a txt file. Pathetic, this place fell shortly after naruto discussion became allowed, anime is dead and so is this board, and just for the record, I'm here for my biyearly catalogue check
>>285112556Keep using that newfag site and spend time on defending it, retard.
>>285112419I'm not bothered by it and I think it's hot. But I just don't feel compelled to actively seek it out and I would always choose a male female relationship to follow given the choice.
>>285112567Yes I'm clearly using it very often, about as often as this one
>>285112556Why come to an anime thread to tell us you don't watch anime?
>>285111631mods used to delete these within a few hours or 100 posts whichever came first
There was fucking nothing worth watching
>>285112567>MAL was launched in November 5, 2004>newfag
>>285112696There was plenty worth watching, just not stuff made in the last year.
>>285112624Naruto threads used to be a bannable offense. Yet here we are. MAL threads are unironically better than msot of traffic here. Go whine elsewhere first. once you get rid of other garbage, I'll support you in purging this. Until then, no. You're just a performative retard.
>>285112616To dunk on the oblivious anons complaining about a mal thread within a sea of shit, it's one of the least offensive active threads honestly
>>285112702Yes. Always was.
Make anime great again
>>285112742>defending shitposting with shitposting
>>285112129it could be a nice decorative blemish in the long run
>>285112783>acting this retarded
>>285112863>calling what /a/ always did retardedThat's OK. Just don't claim not to be a cancerous newfag tourist.
>>285112742Fine but why don't you like anime?
>>285112836Nah, ping pong was one of the best and most inspiring stories I've ever experienced from any genre. It would be a shame to live a life without having seen it. I get it though, I avoided it for a while because of the animation style as well. But after an episode or two you barely notice it and it's not a problem.
>>285112887>projecting
>>285112794Based but then you swerved into cringe, guild receptionist was perfectly fine.
>>285112950what was even the message more >talent cant beat hard work shit and >sport are for fun!shitwatch more media of anything
>>285112979I didn't sign up for a dogshit shoujo romance.
>>285113056Sorry you didn't enjoy it. For me art is more than just a moral message. It doesn't have to say anything unique or profound to be worth experiencing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i93vXUKqnI
>>285113056It's a very good analysis of why people play sports, with charismatic and perfectly developed characters in a short amount of time, and one of the best uses of symbolism on tv, because it's not pretentious but clearly reinforces the message and gives it depth. It's an anime I thought would disappoint me and that I'd only like it for its unique animation, but its one of the best dramas I've seen.
>>285113056Being so disingenously reductive can make any work look like shit. You aren't being smart.
>>285111666If that's the case then MAL fucked up and included the spin offs or spiritual sequels for some of these.
>>285112920I like the anime I enjoyed back in the days and I occasionally rewatch them, just not the ones that come out nowadays but I'll give sequels or spin offs to anime I like a watch. Not that many come out though since my arbitrary cutoff is somewhere around 2017 with some exceptions and most of my favorites aired between 1998 and 2014
>>285113366>my arbitrary cutoff is somewhere around 2017Who told you to think that good anime can't be made after that year?
>>285113397No one, that's around the time I started dropping or not picking up almost everything that was airing, I didn't go through that process the last 2 or 3 years so maybe I missed something worthwhile but I wouldn't know
>>285113358Oh for Mai Hime it probably added the 3 minute shorts, I think there was 26 or 27 of them.
>>285086232I use livechart, no idea why you need more.
>>285113514I can't think of anything but I still look, at some point just by the law of chance something great will come along. There hasn't been a single decade in human history where at least one memorable thing wasn't made.
Only watched 2 seasonals this year also.
>>285113517That would only add an additional 3 hours to the count. MAL likely included Otome to series set.
>>285113628Oh also.
This genre deviant page was my favourite. The hot take was giving Takopi a 4/10 (You scored this anime lower than 99 % of MAL members.)>>285113628>>285113731Refined taste Anon.
>>285111951Some people have formed para"social" relationships with fictional characters.
>>285107174I watched rascal santa
>>285113628All anime was seasonal, retarded MAL spamming newfag.
Why do the shitposters not just fuck off back to the MAL forums?It's their community (with whom they compare scores and shit).
>>285106185>horrorDo they even make more than one horror anime a year? I can't even remember the last proper one.
>>285114310I think some of more gory thrillers and darker psychological or mystery series get automatically tagged as horror too. This genre inparticular is very problematic overall. Not just in anime, books and movies also struggle with deciding what qualifyies as one but yeah, it's probably the worst in anime. There's so little actual horror in this medium.
>>285114301Forums?
>>285106101>Have you been watching anime for only 2-3 years? That's just my first impression.No, regularly since like 2014
>>285086148lmao fucking boomer, use AniList like a sane /a/ user

>>285087905>100 complete manga is top 1%does this include currently ongoing manga that one is up to date with?anyway mihon says i have 174 finished manga, BU says 159, and i don't even read that much, is this all what it gets to be at the top?
>>285114301MAL doesn't allow score discussion on the forums>>285114382Anilist is full of trannies, the only good thing about it is that you can add as many favorite characters and series as you want
>>285114396>embrace normalfag trashNo. You're clearly talking about how you're fitting in with the MAL global votes.You have to go back.
>>285114417Yeah most people don't really read manga. Hell, even in Japan anime adaptations always give huge boost to source material but in other countries ratios are way more lopsided for plethora of reasons.
>>285114450>MAL doesn't allow score discussion on the forumsYour shitposting is so bad even MAL, the subject of this discussion, has ejected you?Stop treating /a/ as your toilet.
>>285114452MAL threads are unironically better than most of traffic here. Go whine elsewhere first. Once you get rid of other garbage, I'll support you in purging this. Until then, no. You're just a performative retard.Go actually watch something and stop being a worthless shitposter.
>>285087905>Do people not read manga?Did you mean: do MAL users not read manga?Why don't you go there and ask them?
LMAO, the retard got triggered hard, he's responding to every post.
Why does /a/ have such an "us vs. them" mindset when it comes to r/anime and MAL?
>>285114487>(my shitposts) are unironically better than most of traffic here.Then fuck off to MAL if you hate /a/ so much. I'm sure they will welcome you.>>285114505Spoken like a true shitposting tourist.
>>285114521That's just 4chan in general, we're very protective of our niche.
>>2851119513 episodes a day is 20+ shows per season, that's pretty good and the minimum for any "anime fan".
>>285086232I just like to catalogue the stuff I've watched. I wish there was a site like it for WNs.
>>285114521In the past it was a manner of gatekeeping bad posters from this board.Nowadays it's just retarded newfags who want to feel good about themselves, not realizing it's a stupid hill to die on.
>>285114564>In the past it was a manner of gatekeeping bad posters from this board.It still is. Look at these retards who claim it's only for cataloguing, but then care what MAL and the global scores have to say about them.
>>285113628Good on you for getting to Slayers
>>285114410He meant as in the other anime that is airing this season.
>>285114590>but then care what MAL and the global scores have to say about themVoices in your head told you so? I don't see that in this thread.
>>285114310Yeah horror shows are rare. But there are a lot of horror movies and ovas.
>>285113731Wow your normalfag ass is so much better than the other MAL users!
>>285114521that's how pretty much the entire 4chan was since the dawn of time
>>285114626I don't get why horror is so rare, anime is the perfect medium for it I feel like. You can do so much more than real life horror which takes lots of shitty cgi or expensive props.
>>285114612Seasonal anime watcher means watching currently airing anime instead of backlog. Simple as

>>285114663That's not how most retards misuse the post.>>285114671How much does MAL pay you to advertise their site?
>>285114646Twitter screencap posts are still likely to guarantee replies.
>>285114666Reacting to data wanting to know opinions of other anons isn't "caring what MAL has to say about a person", retarded schizo.
>>285114651probably because animated horror isn't as scary as real life horrorthere's a few truly great horror manga though
>>285114682...among MAL users. MAL users are normalfags, just like (You).
>>285114686That's exactly how they're using it
>>285114689i mean, just take a quick look at /v/
>>285114691The "hot takes" shit is literally comparing your scores to the rest of MAL."Anons" (MAL tourist) really care how they compare to MAL.
>>285114701Every Junji Ito anime is a horror (in wrong sense).
>>285114737>this entire reply chain is to a picture that says "how you compare to other MAL users"
>>285114737When was the last horror anime that wasn't netflix cgi is the real question
>>285114725Posting a comaprison doesn't mean you care about what other part of comaprison thinks about you ,retarded schizo. It's a potential discussion starter about quality of the shows and how they are perceived, what one didn't like about them etc.Get your mind out of tribalistic rage mode for a second.
>>285114701I think part of that is because they rarely try to animate it in a more mature style instead of the normal seasonal style. If it was drawn like shows of the past with more adult looking characters with more normal body proportions and faces it could be plenty scary.
>MAL>HURR DURRNot op but I get it, elitism/oldfag gatekeepy idea of tracking your shit being cringe or gaia online tier newfag shit but if I'm being honest, I've looked at MAL once or twice within the past few years after linking my old ass 2013 account for secret sant/a/ and I have to say it looks amazing and provides nice features that were never around when I used it. I think it provides value in the same way that something like spotify does for music, so I'm wondering why /a/nons in the year of our lord 2026 think it's hot dogshit? Open to hearing anything, but I'd like to hear a reason that's not>It was considered cringe 15 years ago
Newfaggots defending MAL on /a/ was not in my 2026 bingo list, this is a new low... Anidb is the only way to go
>>285114757>Posting a comaprison doesn't mean you care about what other part of comaprison thinks about youGod damn you're maximally retarded. IF you wouldn't care about it, why would you post the fucking comparison in the first place?Your rationalizing is worthless.
>no sir, I do not care about the MAL community>btw. here's a pic how my scores compare to the MAL community, gibb (you) plox
>>285114786>I'm wondering why /a/nons in the year of our lord 2026 think it's hot dogshit?It's just tribalistic hating on anything that isn't counter culture anti normalfaggotry. There was never anything wrong with using MAL to track your usage. I've found plenty of use out of it looking for specific shows by a certain voice actress or writer. Or if I want to find shows from a specific year or season.
>>285114800Being curious about why general population perceives something differently from you doesn't mean you care what they think about you. Stop being retarded. I think you're just projecting your personal insecurities at this point.
>>285114842MAL was always hated for attracting newfags specifically and for actually caring about MAL scores (unlike the liars ITT claim).
>>285114705>MAL users are normalfags, just like (You).i've been outed!>>285114782eh i dunno, honestly i preffer anime with suspensful mood, or an atmosphere. like vampire hunter D for example
>>285114846The whole point of the hot take pics and some others is to compare yourself to general MAL scores.Why do you claim that this is somehow not true?If I misunderstood how MAL hottakes or pics titled with "compared to other viewers" work I'll take it back.
>>285114865>or attracting newfags specificallyThat ship has sailed long ago. Half of the board is shounenshit threads with posters who don't ever watch other anime.Acting as if MAL is some big bad evil is pure retardation by newfags trying to fit in, who have no idea how /a/ used to be in the past.This monkey being the prime example >>285114820
>>285113620That's true, I'll eventually get bored enough to look thoroughly at everything that released in the time frame I wasn't paying attention. Looking through it quickly just now only the new Natsume Yuujinchou season is something I'd pick up right away, apparently very few SoL and iyashikei aired when filtering out isekai and Yuru Camp bores me, doesn't seem like anything will scratch the same itch as Aria or Hidamari any time soon. At least there's plenty of comedies like always, with any luck something half as good as Yuru Yuri or SZS will have come out by now, and surely Despera any day now
>>285114916>with posters who don't ever watch other anime.As demonstrated by the many MAL screenshots posted here?>newfags trying to fit in, who have no idea how /a/ used to be in the past.You probably think we never had shounen threads, you dumb newfag cunt.
Why are we still pretending that /a/ is still some sekrit club with unique taste when that hasn't been the case for over a decade?
>>285114905>The whole point of the hot take pics and some others is to compare yourself to general MAL scores.Again, that doesn't mean you care about what MAL thinks about you. Are you twelve? You're really struggling with understanding something basic. Analyzing why someone perceives works of art differently from general population is a perfectly fine discussion subject and is in no way related to caring what they think about you. You keep conflating two unrelated things.
>>285114947Nice MAL normalfag shittake.I bet you'd feel welcome on the MAL forums.
>>2851147251.Who said I care? 2.If I wanted to get a representative figure of what wide audiences think about a show, is there a better place you have in mind?3.you really think that an accurate survey of /a/ would differ much from MAL ranking? For every show I consider bad I see any number of anons singing it praises ergo: you're a retarded nigger desperate to fit it, never quote me again
>>285114970It doesn't get better just because you replace "MAL" with "general population".You can just go to facebook if you care about what the general population thinks.
>>285114521Because "us vs them" is a usual human mindset, it doesn't matter how retarded it is
>>285114916>Half of the board is shounenshit threads with posters who don't ever watch other animeHow is it even possible to be an anime fan and just watch shounen? There isn't that much of it to go around. You could watch all the ones worth watching in a couple of years and then what?
>>285114786because it was cringe 15 years ago
>>285114971Who hurt you?
>>285114953>You probably think we never had shounen threads, you dumb newfag cunt.I don't but good job proving you're a subhuman incapable of conversing without strawman. Trying to act as if difference in amount of shounen threads isn't wildly different is incredibly dishonest. You're just a faggot with nothing to say, wanting to hate for the sake of it. I don't see any point in continuing this. Hope you pop a vein.
>>285114995>1.Who said I care?You posted it. You got a lot of responses discussing the subject>but I don't care!Why deny the obvious like a retard?Look, it's OK to be shitposting cancer, as you have justified before by citing worse cancer, like your shounen generals.But why pretend you're not worthless trash talking and caring about a normalfag site like MAL?
>>285115017/a/ hated shounen threads for a reason: they were always here. There were shounen threads before moot allowed them. moot explicitly allowed them how many years ago?Go back to your M;AL forums if you feel so called out.
>>285114971Go reply to every post in the couple dozen shounentard threads that are up if you're so concerned about board quality
I don't use MAL, I don't use notepads, I don't use google docs, I use nothing.And if I forget that I've already seen this anime, then I'll watch it again.
>thread is comfy people having fun and sharing their likes and dislikes>the YOU MUST HATE EVERYTHING THAT DOESN'T ORIGINATE ON 4CHANNEL.ORG crowd shows up>thread goes to shitGetting real tired of this, can't you find a thread about something you enjoy?
>>285115062>muh shounentard threads>look there are so many shounen threads, what is one more shit post thread by me?
>>285115071>no don't remind me that I'm the cancer meant to be gatekept!Can't you go to a website where your normalfaggotry is welcome?
>>285114564It was newfag tryhards back then too
>>285114999They spend all their time remaining "discussing" instead of watching more. Look at how active those threads are, even if most of them are jsut repeats of previous discussions, constantly looping. Same as in many other hobbies. Many people just want the sense of belonging to a community and subconsciously limit their own horizons, boxing themselves into a single niche which gives them comfort. It's easier to process for their brains if they never branch out. At least that's my theory.
>>285115020>You posted itnta, but why do you think they are the same poster?
>>285115113>They spend all their time remaining "discussing" instead of watching more.That is what a MAL thread is about.
>>285115100I'm ok thanks I like it here, even when /a/ is at it's worst like right now it's still better than the alternative.
>>285115137>even when /a/ is at it's worst like right now it's still better than the alternative.Maybe you should post another thread that is "not as bad" as shounen threads, but where you can have normalfag fun.How about another twitter screenshot thread? It doesn't matter anyway since /a/ is so shit!
>>285115156I didn't make this thread thoubeit.
>>285115189>thoubeitNice sharty lingo. Shows what you really are.
>>285115079Why would I care you absolute loser? I didn't use this board regularly in years and won't be doing so going forward (rejoice retard), you think you're doing anyone a service by being obnoxious and derailing a singular thread that's less egregious than about 90 other threads up right now? /a/ lost years ago to shounentards it's no better than any other media board regardless of what you think you're accomplishing here
>>285115211Why do you even admit that you're a tourist and how little you care about this board?You shouldn't have a problem with being called the cancer, yet you try to defend what cannot be defended.
I'm using MAL and I'm also using Obsidian to keep notes, impressions, and reviews for every anime, movie and book I read. > ughh you're actually supposed to consume flashing images mindlessly and immediately move on to the next one, so that you could reach 1000+ watched animes and you also should fall for every other meme oldfags told me as a joke!to each his own i guess
>every argument: this thread is OK because /a/ is so shit anyway!
>>285115071Yeah it's sad how one or two shitposters can destroy a thread and how consistently it happens. They specifically go out of their way to seek things they don't like and make everythign worse, instead of seeking improvement.
>>285115156You're acting irrationally angry because in your mind people are having the wrong kind of fun. Grow up.
>>285115071Being outraged at people visiting other websites is what they enjoy.
>>285114995This has been done and you're right. /a/'s AOTY vote and the highest scorers on MAL are consistently similar
>>285115239i wish i kept notes for animethe only anime i ever did that for was my rewatch of Hyouka
>>285115273>because in your mind people are having the wrong kind of fun.Like all the anons complaining about shounen threads?
>>285115079I don't see you shitting up those other threads. That means you're a worthless hypocrite. You don't have any thoughts of your own, you don't have any agenda or personal ideals. You don't give a shit about /a/, contrary to what you're preaching.You are just reacting to a trigger word like a dog and are too stubborn to let go when someone confronts your idiocy.
>>285088367I went the alternate route of yours and decided to watch everything in the UC (chronologically) up to Char's Counterattack before watching GQuuuuuuX (and am now on Victory)
>>285114521see >>285114564. This is absolutely the correct answer on both fronts. Old 4chan (ESPECIALLY /a/) was relatively niche and counter culture, so users would fanatically gatekeep and exclude newcomers to maintain that community and culture. This worked for a very long time, and /a/ in particular was extremely successful at it to the degree that /a/ for a very long time, well into the 2010s, was one of the best if not the highest quality boards on the entire site. It's also why it is so fervently against shows like Naruto or other "entry anime" popular with lower quality posting and people.
>>285112556>this place fell shortly after naruto discussion became allowedYep. Then it became a breeding ground for shonenfags and low IQ normalfags who only read WSJ.
I understand don't liking the top rankings; many casual viewers get together to vote for their favorite shonen of the year as the best, large communities bombard better anime to get better numbers, or anything new gets more votes. But that's what rankings are, who cares? It's still the biggest tracker and very convenient to use. I prefer using my own notes because it's easier for me, but it's understandable why it's used, and there's nothing wrong with it.
>>285115336>projectingHow about all the posters defending this thread by saying that /a/ is so shit?>That means you're a worthless hypocrite. No, you're one for defending a bad thread and also shitting on /a/ by the side, because you're a shitposting tourist who thinks there's nothing worthwhile on /a/ other than posting screenshot from your MAL account.
>>285115233I've most likely been on 4chan since before you were born or at least in diapers, I stopped using this board after it got taken over and 90% of my valid reports were ignored, are you daft? What is left to care about? Anyway, last reply
>>285115406>I've most likely been on 4chan since Just say the year you started posting here.You can't. You literally can't.>I stopped using this board So you're a tourist who shits on /a7, and only returns for the MAL threads.You are the cancer.
>>285089060>Vampire Huner D.Such a ridiculously gorgeous film.
>>285115369Yeah. It was awesome for a long time and battle was worth fighting for. Sadly this tactic stopped being effective when moderation team started actively working against the wishes of the community. Ultimately we can't do much if they refuse to delete bad threads and give bans to people who report them, while also banning core /a/ threads.
>>285089060What is the gray score after the yellow/gold score?
>I don't use this board>I only return for MAL threads>also every single thread on /a/ is shit!>I pretend to remember old /a/What type of person do you imagine?
It would be nice if there were a /retro/ board, /m/ is a little bit too niche.
>>285090096I watched an episode of Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh, 999 and Urusei Yatsura every night. It took me like half a year to finished them.
>>285115475Gold is the score he gave it and gray is its average score on MAL. Obviously
>>285115555A lot of anons, myself included, have been asking for one for years. Alternatively, they could create a Shueisha board and toss the garbage there.
>>285115405>by saying that /a/ is so shitThat's true though.>No, you're one for defending a bad thread and also shitting on /a/ by the side???I don't think you have any idea what the word "hypocrite" means. The way you responded here isn't something a thinking person would say. Only a tribalistic monkey would react in such an amotional way. You remind me of the way teenagers argue. Kpop stans, hoyotards, streamer fanboys etc. Exact same lack of logical continuity, inability to admit points, refusal to argue in coherent manner, instead the constant need to double down with progressing accusations made up in your head, not based on what was actually said...>because you're a shitposting tourist who thinks there's nothing worthwhile on /a/ other than posting screenshot from your MAL accountYou're projecting really hard here, newfag-kun. I've been on this site longer than you're alive, most likely.Also, you're putting words in my mouth. I never said >there's nothing worthwhile on /a/ other than posting screenshot from your MAL accountor even remotely close to that. I'm in multiple threads actually. Doesn't change the fact huge chunk of the board is garbage, far more harmful than this thread, and that /a/ is in far worse state than it used to be in the past. But you wouldn't know about it.
>>285115610>is its average score on MAL.Oh no...
>>285115319I've never complained about them, better to have them self contained than making 50 different smaller ones.
>>285115621>That's true though.See, demoralization is all you got. You seem to agree that this thread is shit, but you are unable to care.>Only a tribalistic monkeyWelcome to /a/. No, you're not any better.>You're projecting really hard here, newfag-kun. I've been on this site longer than you're alive, most likely.How long? Which year? Or are you the "last response" anon?>the fact huge chunk of the board is garbage, far more harmful than this thread, Which is why you put so much effort into defending a harmful, just not as harmful thread? What's your agenda?>that /a/ is in far worse state than it used to be in the past. There always was doom posting, but you wouldn't know. There were retards like you who made fun of gatekeeping, and look what happened.
>>285115445I took a look at it recently and was blown away by how cinematic experience it was. Very different from how TV episodes are structured.
>>285115391I'm currently working my way through Bleach because my irl anime friend has been bugging me about it for over a decade. I'm about 75 episodes in and wondering when it really starts to get good? So far there have been a couple of decent fights but I feel like I'm still not really getting the magic of this show? What makes it so popular?
>>285115749You could ask in one of the many shounen threads, or in the MAL forum.
speaking of MAL i discovered the hidden gem zone is around ~6.3-6.5probably a wider rangehere check it outhttps://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?limit=8000
>filter by horror>one remake and one show that's been going for agesSad, I don't want to watch friday the 13th for the 15th time. Why are horror fans the most punished anime fandom?
>>285115712>See, demoralization is all you got.Please make sense. Stop insisting on what other people think in attemtps to attack them and instead focus on preseting your own arguments.>You seem to agree that this thread is shit, but you are unable to care.Umm, no?The thread is fine. It went to shit when shitposters showed up and decided to shit it up.>How long? Which year? Or are you the "last response" anon?2006>Which is why you put so much effort into defending a harmful, just not as harmful thread? What's your agenda?When I see retards being wrong, I correct them. Simple as. Pretty much all criticism agaisnt this thread has been bogus. If you don't want to be called out, don't be retarded.>There always was doom posting, but you wouldn't know. What? How is that in any way related to what I said? Is that your attempt at "no u"? Really shitty one then.>There were retards like you who made fun of gatekeeping, and look what happened.You're truly retarded if you think that was the reason. See >>285115459 for actual facts.
>>285115768But I don't want a shonenfags opinion. I'm only watching it for my friend, I want an outsiders opinion.
shit year
>>285114417I mean that's 100 manga completed in the year. I read manga every day and apparently only actually finished 5 manga in the year (which is still the top 17%). I'd think there'd be a lot of shorter manga to finish 100 in the year but maybe he does just read a lot more than me. I usually only read a few chapters of any given series per day at most.
something is wrong with me
Do you ever look back at a show you rated and think to yourself "did I really watch that"? I have no memory of this show whatsoever.
>>285115749Normally I wouldn't reply but since we have the anti-MAL monkeys shitting up the thread anyway, this post shouldn't be a problem.Soul Society arc is where the series peaked. I don't know if ep 75 is already there, I only read the manga. It might be. Kubo is a hack, yes, Bleach is overrated.>What makes it so popular?Arguably better / more stylish art than popular competitors at the time and the main character is more serious than goofy MCs in other shows so all the insecure edgy kids felt safer liking Bleach.
>>285115749I never watched bleach either but the /a/ consensus (at least from back then) is that bleach is good and interesting and stops being good and interesting after the "soul society" arc. If you are already past that, you should probably stop.
>>285115827>and instead focus on preseting your own arguments.I did. Why don't you respond to them instead of responding (paraphrasing you) "lol ur dumb".>The thread is fine.No.>2006I lost. I only got here 2007.>When I see retards being wrong, I correct them. Simple as. Pretty much all criticism agaisnt this thread has been bogus. If you don't want to be called out, don't be retarded.Zero content. I could say the same against you. Don't you have anything actual to say?>What? How is that in any way related to what I said? Is that your attempt at "no u"? Really shitty one then.Another empty statement with surface level attacks, because you have no arguments.>You're truly retarded if you think that was the reason.Stop insisting on what other people think in attemtps to attack them and instead focus on preseting your own arguments.>See >>285115459 for actual facts.He's somewhat right, such as them not deleting this thread.But obviously posters like you are huge contributors towards turning /a/ to shit.
>>285115959>complains about muh shounen threads>demonstrates in-depth knowledge about a shounen anime
>>285115954That's what I gave the first season, looks about right. Chainsoyman felt really overrated. I didn't hate it but I don't see what gets people drooling over it either.
>>285115971This whole post is one giant "no u". Sad.
>>285115954Yes. Just browse the MAL top 10 to get better taste. No more hot takes!
>>285116003This whole post is one giant concession. Sad.
>>285115959I don't know what the different arcs entail, the only major thing that happened is the group got together to go to japanese heaven to save rukia from being killed for saving the orange haired mc. Their rules seem really absurd considering the evil shit they get up to there. I hope that wasn't already the peak of the show because there is so much more to go. Also I find it amusing that no one even reacts to the fact that the after life and heaven and hell are tangibly confirmed. This would be earth shattering news if it came out in real life.
>/a/ is shit now>ITS SHIT BECAUSE OF YOU>NO IT'S SHIT BECAUSE OF YOUI'm going to be real with you guys, if you are oldf/a/ggots, you are 35 years old or older. Just let it go. Just let it go and your lives will be so much easier.
>>285115996There's no contradiction there, contrary to what you think. The issue with shounen threads is average type of audience they bring (which I don't engage with).What you're implying, that one should completely distance themselves from shounens and never read any, is ignorant.
>>285116065Sorry, no tolerance towards zoomer trash and those who want to turn /a/ into a shitpost garden.If you don't want to end up like this, leave NOW.
>>285116065Well, I just did right above. But yeah you're right.
>>285116065I have, I'm 43 and I stopped caring a long time ago and I am happier for it. I simply like the things I like now and don't care what others think about it. Sure it's nice when I can find something that people agree is great and you can talk about it with them. But if that doesn't happen no skin off my back. Caring about stuff is for the youth, only they have the energy for it. Good for them but I can't fight these battles forever. I did my part in the past and now I am enjoying my retirement phase. It's comfy here.
>>285116077>refuses to realize he used to be what he complains about nowWhy don't you make a blech thread like in the good old times?
>>285116056>the group got together to go to japanese heaven to save rukia from being killedThat is the Soul Society arc, yes.
>>285116114>It's comfy here.For retards who like garbage like MAL threads it must be comfy here indeed. Just strange that they (not necessarily you) also complain about /a/ being full of shit and not going on /a/ much anymore.
>>285116116Anon, stop thinking in binary manner. Be a human.
>>285116120FML how could it peak so early? There's over 200 episodes left? Man I don't know if I can keep going if there is nothing else to look forward too.
>>285116140I'm here daily but I'll admit I mostly just lurk. Sometimes I'll post in a gochiusa thread or something similar if I'm in the mood. So yeah I'm not a great contributor anymore.
>>285116114Same I'm 36. It doesn't matter anymore. 4chan is no longer a niche cool kids club, it's very solidly part of online culture and it's heavily declining, both in quality and userbase. Screeching over newfags or zoomers or reddit or whatever the current boogyman is is a complete waste of time and adds nothing to your life.Just take it easy.
>>285116141Pointing out a contradiction in how you act is not binary thinking.Anyway, I really should be doing other things, so enjoy your normalfag thread with your fellow cancerfags. Just accept yourself as the cancer who's killing /a/.Also realize that a huge chunk of the "shitposting" which "ruined" the thread is just (you) desperately posting (and failing) to defend your faggotry.
>>285116200>4chan is no longer a niche cool kids club,Hasn't really been since 2006, retard, but whatever helps you being lame and old.
>>285116140>For retards who like garbage like MAL threadsThis is a YEARLY WRAP UP thread.>also complain about /a/ being full of shit/a/ is shitted up by dozens of shounen threads all the fucking time, it's a daily occurrenceUse your brain.
>>285112556>>285112742>>285113366
>>285116224>Hasn't really been since 2006, retardI agree with you entirely, but people will still shit their pants and act like it is. 2006 was 20 (twenty) years ago. Let it go, guys.
>>285116202There is no contradiction there, retard. That's the point. You believing there is one is precisely what proves your binary thinking. I already explained the difference but you're too stupid to comprehend it. You just divide the world cleanly in x vs y with no in-between. That's the definition of binary thinking.
oh cool they have a wrap up for manga too
>>285115958I have no idea what this was about, I just remember some dead girl sitting in a chair talking cryptically
>MAL thread was derailed >metaBITCH sissy who doesn't watch anime is now crying about /a/, naruto and evil shounen threads We're so back.
>>285116224>but whatever helps you being lame and oldIt'll happen to you soon enough fag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGrfhsxxmdE
>>285116224if only newfags would lurk moar and stopped trying this weird psychotic history revision where 4chan never existed until the day they found the website and 4chan was never popular until 2016 and other forms of pure genuine pathological embarrassment. online discourse is shit because newfags all wildly make up shit and expect everybody else to engage within their narcissistic head games.
>>285116246Did your feelings get hurt?
>>285087905>top 1%HAHAHAHHAHAHA *wheeze* oh no no nono AAAAAAhahhaahhaa
