I am going fucking insane
>>287852122This is a really bad season right now, to be fair.
Season so bad that the board has ~22 posts per minute right nowComically tragic season
I'm watching Re:ZERO and LIAR GAME.
>>287852276Normalniggers gobble up whatever is popular for the season. I have standards.
>>287852122>season where over 50% of anime is nothing but yume/yuri and romance garbageyeah its ass
>>287852276What's the usual number of posts per minute?
>new new I need newjust rewatch something man
>>287852881That depends, 22 is slightly above average for this season, mainly because it's the weekendHowever, this season is a downwards trend
99% of anime has always not been worth watching.Needy girl overdose is worth it War stories of a little girl season 2 will be kino eventuallymadoka will be generational eventGachiakuta was OK recentlyAnime is not that different from american TV shows, for every Dr House there is a ton of slop
>tfw I'm happy if I can pick up 1 or 2 anime per seasonI don't understand the impulse to watch 20+ anime per season.
>>287853299What's a NEET that favors anime going to do with just 2 seasonal anime?>sleep for 8 hours>2 hours eating and tending to personal hygiene>1-2 hours of backlog anime>45 minutes of seasonal anime>4-6 hours doing other hobbiesAnd you don't want to fill the day with more backlog anime because eventually you'd be done with it and hardstuck with seasonal shows
>>287852122Which was your favorite episode of your pic, OP?
>>287853507It is impossible to watch all anime and read all manga from the past. That is not an issue anyone will have to deal with unless you're extremely picky and so only think there's a handful of good anime made before the current year.
>>2878535641st
>>287853564Not him but the first girl was unironically the best of the bunch, both in universe and as coom material, all the other girls were trash human beings except for maybe the director at the end who was simply autistic.
>>287852122so fuck off and get into a new hobby
>>287852122It sucked since 2003, where have you been
>>287853137whys the board dying
>>287854258Weeb audience shifted to gachas, and those who remain only consume isekaislop
>>287854258Oldfags to anime are old and tired, and newfags to anime are all retards who would rather use xwitter and dicksword instead.
>>287854258the whole site is dying. the only people who use 4chan now are /pol/tards.
>>287854424Gambling addicts are alive and well, albeit.
Most active threads btw
>>287854258The entire site is dying, we on the other hand are already dead, there's threads that have been up for more than a week.
What a horrible season
>I don't like isekai>>ecchi/romcoms >ecchi/romcom is slop too btw I hate anime>>Nippon Sangoku>there are "people" who find this season badIs it the lack of shonenslop?
>>287854258In short and in modern terms: Anime lost it's aura. There is little to debate about the new stuff because it's all braindead and famous shows are overhelmed but outside shitpost, and I mean stuff that was not born/made here, so there is no /a/ identity in these threads and no reason to comeback or not use twitter.You will see oldfags coming back for traditional threads once in a while throughout the year but thats it. In fact, I have been here for 10 years at this point and even though I still dont consider myself an oldfag even I am tired and barely post nowadays.
>>287854960It's 2016 and 2020 election tourists that only started coming to /a/ because of attack on titan
>>287854960every season has this threadpeople just want to complain, i dont watch anything but its because im lazy not because i hate everything
>>287855047the numbers don't lie >>287853137
>>287852122For me it was the blonde nurse with the drill
Best girl no contest
>>287854670the precure I can understand, as I have heard it, the "new" cure they introduced has generated a lot of buzz.
>>287854336Watched my first seasonal anime almost 20 years ago, not tired at all, modern anime is great.
>>287854258honestly the cookie requirement is a pretty big deal. i often open 4chan out of muscle memory, open a thread i like in the catalog, see something i know how to answer, spend time answering it (filling out the replybox), click "get captcha"... and then it asks me to wait 60 seconds.most of the time i just close out of the replybox and do something else, it's only when i remember to hit it before i even start typing that i bother posting nowadays; no longer participate in any generals.
>>287853588>It is impossible to watch all animedigibro claimed to have done it before he trooned.
On the topic of fixing the site it's embarrassing on the administration side for the 4chan pass banner to literally advertise a pass for the wrong amount. Maybe that's a meme to them too. The owners use tons of bots, and shouldn't have to. It quietly likes being an internet juggernaut but stopped caring about the community. I doubt hiro and co cares about real users like they used to. They act like problems come from outside but frankly a lot of it is shit content because of their insistence on bot / AI content everywhere.
>>287856815Even in terms of anime there's plenty that aren't fully translated or translated at all, much less manga. Even if he just claimed anime that's still not believable.
>>287856882yeah i don't lend much credibility to his claim either. he did try doing stuff like "watching every anime starting with (insert letter here)" and didn't get very far before he came a druggie retard, so he probably hallucinated completing it.
>>287852122>Sakusei Byoutou reaction Muh dick>>287853564Tachibana is the best and Yamaguchi a close second.
>>287857004The all ages version is hilarious
>>287857004I didn't ask to hear about your dick, homo
>>287856444Simple as is
>>287857164Damn right it was, a shame it was short-lived
>>287854258The entire internet is dying. Anywhere with discussion is impossible to use because it's filled with thirdworlders and bots. Normies use tiktok so they can do the retarded normie woman thing and based opinions based on who saying it is more attractive. Soon that will be filled with AI thirdworlders. The internet itself is dead.
>>287852122>when you realize you're too old for most anime
>>287855337The entire site is losing activity, has nothing to do with /a/ and this season specifically
>>287857396>normies
>>287854960There's two shonen shows animated by Bones and a new Re:Zero season this spring. I get this dogshit thread happens every season but it's been a while since it applied the least to Spring. Lot of great variety of everyone
>>287853564I personally liked the lazy drunkard and nopan nurse
feels like anime is gunning for the majority rather than otaku more and more and more and more with every passing season. it's understandable from a business standpoint but i don't enjoy feeling left behind.
>>287856444>>287857004Will we ever get a new chapter? I think this series used to have more content every 4 months or so. What happenes?
>>287854536>tfw Kaiji's still on hiatus
>>287852122detective is already dead is the best one this season I think, Arakawa's new series is pretty middling unfortunately.
>>287854258YN's are not going to 4chan, on account of this site not being upstream of culture since 2018. I don't mind it slowing down. ^_^
>>287854424/pol/tards left for twitter nearly a decade ago albeit, everyone else on /pol/ is bots or state actors
>>287857004since I became an adult, I can't enjoy this sort of thing anymore
>>287859223Liar Game is an adaptation of what has been touted as the best psychological manga for a long time, aside from this Dr. Stone is ending this season. Marriage X Toxin got a decent adaptation, it might be harder to enjoy since the homosexuality aspect (which is the worst part) is becoming a focal point of discussion.
>>287854258Communities are likely all moving to Discord.
>>287854258The board, and the site as a whole, is dying because of people like >>287854424Leftover tourists from Gaia who came here during the golden era took over the board and turned it into their insular Discord server. As a result, these thin skinned ninnies can sic mods against anyone who uses wrong speak or disagrees with their opinions. You can tell No. 287854424 is from /lgbt/ or /u/ based on their usage of the term "pol/tard/". It's a popular retort their ilk use whenever they're called faggots. But the reality is the site has been on a decline for a long time. The April hack of last year and the antics from a gay black furry pedophile's ban evasion site has hammered the final nail in the coffin. Anime discussion has moved to Xitter, and it will inevitably move back to forums.What a sad state of events. /a/ and the entire site at large, used to be the taste-maker and culture former of the Internet. When was the last time /a/ created a meme that was viral among this site, let alone the entire Internet?
>>287854258It's a combination of things. Hobbie communities for consumable media (anime, video games, etc) is moving to things like discord. You have images and memes you can post, embed links to other sites, share video, stream, react with emojis, it's not directly controlled by sites like Facebook, and you can easily filter out people and content you don't want to deal with. So instead of having to put up with seeing retards on here calling each other "niggers" because this the only place other than Twitter they can say that, they get an insular community echo chamber and hug box. Most normalfags like that kind of shit.This site has also had a lot of controversy over the years and the hack last year really did a number on this sites popularity. Coupled with the Epstein docs about moot and /pol/ with normalfag retards thinking Epstein got moot to create /pol/. The election nonsense and how popular /pol/ became. The myriad nonsense some of the users of this site did to drag it into the public light. All that really damaged the reputation of this place to be somewhere too go to have conversation. Us oldfags (2005 for me) also mostly fucked off to other sites in the last 10-15 years when the site started getting so God damn fast. And it's not like we all just went to one other site; we split to places that were more our own speed or interest. 4chan used to be one of THE places to go. Now there's so many options but that also ended up spreading the users to the wind.I hope this rant is coherent. I'm tired and not going to proof read it.
>>287860298>>287859763Saying that people moved to discord is hard to prove. I don't think it's particularly true. Why do you think anime discussion will move away from Xitter? I haven't used that site since 2023
>>287852122Stop watching what is popular and look for themes that interest you.
It's OK to develop higher standards as you get older. Most anime has always been garbage.
>>287860755https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law
>>287856444peaked on ep1my enthusiasm for the series waned every episode release until i simply didn't care
>>287854258Because almost everyone is at discord now, is not rocket science, people just come down here from time to time to push something on group.
>>287854258because it sucks compared to 15+ years ago>captcha up the ass>ban evading is too easy>4chan gold passes and email verification mean rangebans are impossible to enforce, now ever main topic on every media board has a dedicated schizo that spends every waking moment doing everything they can to derail and shit up discussion>inundated with posers that aren't fans of anime itself but fans of fandomsNearly all the writefags, drawfags, and musicfags got driven away to more receptive audiences>flooded with offtopic threads from people that have a stick up their ass about not using any other board except for /a/, and instead want to be use to just make any kind of thread about anything on /a/ so long as they include an anime image in the OP and the words "IN ANIME" somewhere in the post>constant low effort threads that are just an empty post field and some bullshit in the subject field>all this combined means posters are quitting forever at a faster rate than there are newfags checking this place out and deciding to stick around for more than three months>and the deader the board gets the easier it is for a lone poster to push some kind of agenda or otherwise force their latest autistic fixation onto everyone else without getting drowned out>all of which forms a feedback loopThere's no point letting it bother you though. Everything dies
