>>152507381Faggots who repost screenshots of shit from other social media to 4chan
>>152507395Yes I am Dobson thank you
Twitter screenshot threads. Getting real tired of seeing those, and I see them a lot more than Akira slides.
the Shakira stride
The Wilhelm scream
>>152507381How bitter you have to be to hate Wilhelm scream
>>152507428Very
>>152507381the squeaky door
>>152507381>new meme good>old meme badTourist detected.
I want to make a property that references as many scenes from Akira as possible, without referencing the bike slide.
>>152507381THERE'S the dobson opinion we've been waiting for!
>>152507516Finally its back
>>152507497That exists
>>152507381I had a thing when watching films with friends, everytime we heard the Wilhelm scream, I'd shout out in mock concern, "Wilhelm!"Then the fucking Ratchet and Clank movie did it, with just enough time for me to say "Wilhelm!" before they said it as well. I was hopping mad.
What's funny is the bike scene happens within the first 8 minutes of the movie. That's how you know 99% of these references comes from people that likely never watched it.
>>152507395This.
The lick >>> Wilhelm Scream > Akira slide > And yes, you CAN pet the doggo
>>152507395fpbp
>>152507557The Wilhelm scream is just a silly little jokeBut the akira slide takes effort and thought process and time
>>152507553But it has the bike slide in it.
>>152507381Family guy death pose
>>152507381>I see thing from western cartoon I don't like. I hate western cartoon!>I see thing from anime I like, I love anime! Anime fucking rules! Fuck the west!
>>152507381The bitterness is palpable
>>152507381>thing japan
>>152507720The Wilhelm scream is not from a cartoon.
>>152507737Its not but its appeared in multiple cartoons
>>152507720>>152507727>>152507732The fact dobson made the original post makes this all the funnier
>>152507683Ah truen
>>152507395FPBP + Bodied that kiwitroon freak + OP sucks dicks.
>>152507409Fortunately this is a tumblr screenshot thread.
>>152507381Just create a fake account, call him a cringe faggot weeb, and move on.
>>152507381Flossing.
Akira is the only anime westernoids in the industry have seen so they reference it more than Japanese actually do
>>152508118You do it
I would normally agree that referencing the same shit ad nauseum is annoying, but this bits don't tend to last more than three seconds. Nothing worth seething over.
>>152507580???
>>152508139No, they've also seen Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z (but not Dragon Ball), and Revolutionary Girl Utena if they're gay.
>>152507727it's not bitternessit's contempt at inferior artists trying to emulate a masterpiece and turning it into a cliche
>>152508234It's a waste of time
>>152507381Wrong.
>>152508338Loss is funny tho
>>152508398Could be improved with a Wilhelm scream.
>>152508423Yeah it can
>>152507638Does it? And if it does, the result is the same. Reference for references sake when the creator should be just focusing on creating their own cool shit.
>>152508518YeahA Wilhelm scream can be added in post in like 2 seconds
>>152508518>1 second audio clip vs. animating multiple frames of a character on a motorbike sliding through a perspective shot with smoke/dust effectsGee anon, I wonder if one takes more effort than the other.
>>152507727It looked better in my head.
>>152508338That's based.
>>152508725I should meant that as from a direction/decisionmaking process. It takes no effort to say "yeah we'll just reference it for this scene." And yeah the animation takes more effort but I would argue it is worse because it just shows that the creator chose the completely wrong thing to devote their effort into. It's fucking gay to always use nostalgiabait.
>>152508130Holy 2017
>>152507381>Akira slide>Wilhelm screamI don't like either of these.
>>152508936someone has to
>>152507381‘Abbey Road’ is the ‘Akira bike slide’ of western culture
>>152509056I mean thats just promo art
>>152509302never forget
>>152509743I never did
>>152508800it works, just uncensor it and you've got a deal
>>152507381dementia
>>152507381The Akira slide is my least favorite reference ever. I like Akira but God I'm tired of smug millenials using it over and over again instead of making a different joke or shot. So lame.
>>152509965Yuuup
>>152507381The Akita slide should be added into the whiteboard.
>>152507516I like anime but Dobson was in the right with this. You had to be there to know the retarded levels of hate full-grown adults had for Justin Bieber back in the 2000's.
>>152510201>we got company!>out of the frying pan...
>>152507381It's just the Wilhelm Scream for Millennials who watched Toonami.
>>152507381The Obari pose. Every dumb fucker acts like Obari invented perspective.
>>152510242>You had to be there to know the retarded levels of hate full-grown adults had for Justin Bieber back in the 2000's.I haven't followed much of his news/career (because I'm not a teen girl), but hasn't he had a lot of bad press for being a twat?Or was that a case of confirmation bias / people share the bad stories about him because they hate him? I dunno, I'm apathetic towards him,
>>152510346Confirmation bias
>>152510242Yeah but it was a fucking joke no one took it seriously
>>152507381It was cool when anime was still seen as weird, or the very least only known through the most popular stuff. Seeing the Akira slide before it was famous was like a wink to the audience but around the 2010s when everyone was doing it became overdone and feels more like adults out of the loop doing it cause it used to be cool.
>>152510345I actually love this one and didn't realize it was a meme.
>>152510387>hahaha yeah the slide man
Since no one gave a real answer, I'm sick of seeing the Yamcha pose.
The slide has never been a 1 to 1 insert in the media it's been used, it still requires someone to animate the slide. The Wilhelm scream however is literally just putting the WilhelmScream.mp3 file into the media.
>>152510744The Wilhelm is simplier and requires NO effort
>>152510686Seems more anime focused
>>152510744The slide is worse because it takes more effort. Why spend effort adding something that makes your cartoon worse? At least with the Wilhelm scream's complete laziness, no effort was wasted that could've been used something better.
>>152511213^
>>152507381I'll have to use "that".It can't be helped.
>>152507395This. OP is (as usual) a cocksmoking fag.
>>152507395OP BTFO
>>152511584Samefag
>>152511653Nope, just came into the thread and inside your mom and dad. Take your medicine, OP.
>>152507428Wilhelm is overratedWhere are my "Screams 3; Man, Gut-Wrenching Scream and Fall into Distance" niggas
>>152511213How does it make it worse?
>>152511888Gut wrenching scream is kino, as a kid I thought that's what the Wilhelm scream was. It deserves the attention the pansy ass wilhelm scream gets.
>>152511682Samefag
>>152510242Feels like it only works from Dobson's perspective because he's an artist.Bieber was despised not for being popular but for being completely inescapable if you had a little sister or a cousin or whatever.What kids today will never comprehend is how fucking annoying "Baby" was. In hindsight I can listen to his other songs like "Never say never" and I'm fine, but "Baby" in particular just triggers something because it was constantly on the radio or being played in the store, and if you had a sister, constantly blared from her bedroom.Combine that with the extremely repetitive nature of the song? Yeah, you wanted to bang your head on a wall.
>>152507381What was the Akira Slide called when people did it BEFORE Akira?
>>152507381>Anything worse than the akira slide?That there is no good 4K release of Akira.
>>152512135Really?
>>152507381ew
>>152507417Cartoons would be more interesting if they all started referencing Shakira's hip shaking in their shows
>>152511888hell yeah brother
>>152507727why did you blank out fucking
>>152509056Miscegenation is immoral
>>152507381When you have a doodoo in your butt and you don't know what to do
>>152507381A parody of the akira slide where the bike and rider tip over in mid slide
>>152513813Has that happened yet?
>>152507381The TMS kick dance?

>>1525137011. I didn't make it2. This is a blue board you pervert
>>152510387>of course I've seen akira!>anime is very mainstream right now!bitch probably hasn't even seen blue seednot even dominion tank policehell even ninja scroll would be a stretch mainstream tv needs some project a-ko references at minimum
The cake is a lie!
Girl make "deep" show about teenage hood>it has a sailormoon transformation sequence
>>152508920Not that anon, but I was out with my niece and nephew tonight, and they started screeching about '6 7'. I tried my hardest not to throw them through a plate glass window. Thank God that I'm a patient man.
>>152510242Was it actually grown men or just teenagers and kids? This is like the retcon with Boxxy and Jessie Slaughter where everyone pretends her 4chan stalkers were adults and not just kids of the same age.
Akira is old and nobody in the audience will recognize the slide outside of other animators (that studied it in school) or 40+ otakus from the first wave.By comparisons, its older to us now that the looney tunes where in the 80’s
>>152515112>>152515168Same uncle anon here... you just reminded me that my nephew turned to me tonight and asked me what the Flintstones are. It's like, kid, haven't you at least seen a box of Fruity Pebbles?
>>152515248Yeah, even though Looney Tunes and Flintstones were old back in the 90s and 2000s, we all still knew what they were. You'd see Bugs Bunny everywhere. I know some kids still watch Looney Tunes and stuff, but it used to be practically all kids had seen it.
>>152515258True. That also reminds me that a few years earlier, my father was trying to bond with my niece, and he did one of the few cartoon impressions he knows, the Woody Woodpecker laugh, and she had no clue what he was referring to. I had to explain to him that no child, unless they grew up in Brazil, knows Woody Woodpecker any more.
>>152514169>NarutoExamples? I've seen DBZ a lot but I'm mostly oblivious to cartoons made by the Naruto generation.
>>152515056When we say anime is mainstream, we mean what started trendy in Japan is usually also popular worldwide. The west took time to catch up, but that's how it has been in Asian countries for a long time now.
>>152515490Yeah I know what you mean and you're right. Just messing around, that was all stuff I remember watching back when Akira first came out here.
