https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAaU7EO_8AAThe video is full of comments like "Otakus from that era were very brave""This was a turning point""With the airing of Lucky Star, prejudice against otaku began to gradually decrease"Is this true? Wasn't Eva a social phenomenon?
>>283626422Normalfags always make "exceptions". So they may like a specific series even though it contains everything they usually seethe at.
>>283626422Eva was a major cultural event for sure, but it's still a serious drama. Lucky Star was unapologetically otaku-core.
>>283626422We are the last generation of TRUE Otakus. A whole culture, lost. These are dark times.
>>283626422Eva is not moe that's why
>>283626422Lucky star basically destroyed real otaku culture by commercializing it
kagami hijack
>>283626491>anazomuse spoiler or some kind of warning if you want to post ai generated pictures please
>>283626892Otaku culture is commercialism
>>283626491Sitting naked on furniture is fucking vile. Even if you shower daily it's just disgusting. You also wouldn't slurp your soup off the sidewalk even if it were safe to do so.
>>283626422
>>283626466The only otaku character was Konata, the others didn't like what she was into.The teacher played MMOs and Kagami readed Mirai Nikki so i don't think otaku culture was as niche.Yeah, the artstyle was chibi to pander to otakus but is not like there wheren't shows that did that before.By the time this show premiered Azumanga was already a classic. Haruhi also was a big hit.
>>283626422There was a super mainstream series called "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" by the same studio that aired like a year before this. It was popular enough to partially break into the normalfag sphere (although it was a later series called K-on! that fully broke the barrier. The shit was REALLY fucking popular with normalfag girls in Japan, to the point where one school even adopted the uniforms from the show). Some of the normalfags who enjoyed Haruhi stuck around for Lucky Star, since it was by the same studio and had the same main voice actress. So you had extreme normalfags watching one of the most otaku-targeted anime of the 00s. You'd have normalfag girls singing the OP at karaoke and shit.Then K-on! happened and Kyoani just made "normalfag otaku anime" their gimmick. But there was also other non-Kyoani stuff from that era like Love Live that managed to gain a normalfag audience despite being otaku-targeted.
>>283626952You're an idiot
>>283627161i said something similar about people sleeping in the nude, and everyone told me to wipe my ass. They just don't get it. No matter how clean you are, you're still leaking biofluids everywhere.
>>283626422This is probably the most infuriating music in all of anime history. It is literal torture, and I mean CIA black site stuff. A jihadist kingpin would break after one hour of this demonic cacophony. And I'm saying that as a Lucky Star fan.
>The teacher played MMOs and Kagami readed Mirai Nikki so i don't think otaku culture was as niche.that just shows what you don't know, light novels were very niche back then, as seen by konata, the otaku character who nowadays would read any ln, dismissed them when kagami brought them up
>>283627315that's not what makes it otaku core, every single episode is packed with 10000000000 references to random japanese memes/culture/shows/manga/etc, it is unapologetic in its love for dumbass otaku media
>>283627702Nah clean yourself you degenerate
>>283628096>10000000000 referencesI don't know, the show was pretty straight forward for me, and i don't watch seasonal anime.Unless you count Shiraishi's weird lyrics, the references were mainly centered on Haruhi's anime and the seiyuus that played the characters on that show.
>>283628260The references you understood, anyway. Like half of what Konata says is a quote from some random anime.
>>283628260>says he doesn't watch seasonal anime>watched lucky star which was seasonal animeKill all newfag retards.
>>283626422Otaku culture was looked on with disdain even by regular/"more normal" anime fans in Japan before some point in the mid-late 2000s, whereas in the 2000s and early 2010s it shifted more to "This guy is really, really, really into anime, manga, light novels and video games. Maybe I'll be like some day too!" whereas now in 2025 everybody who likes anime/manga/video games enough to be a hobbyist calls themselves an otaku now.Lucky Star wasn't THE turning point, but it was one of the most popular anime in an era where people were turning around on "otaku".This is in contrast to a lot of anime/manga/vidya/visual novels about "otaku", even as late as the early 2000s, even if they were aimed at otaku, portraying being an otaku as something to be made fun of, portraying otaku as hiding their power levels, or generally just self-deprecating humor about otaku.
>>283628260this is a real post?
>>283628858maybe I'll be like that*** some day
>>283628702I don't watch Harems, SoL, or anything that is unfinished unless it is a hit or a classic like Frieren or Kyoani works.By seasonal i meant that i don't care for new animes.2007 was almost two decades ago and Lucky Star is a finished show so shut the fuck up.I guarantee you I've seen far more varied anime than your shitty light novel adaptations.
>>283628881>hit or a classic like FrierenIt's a very new seasonal anime especially popular with normalfags.You're a pathetic retard.
>>283628881>Lucky Star is a finished showAbout that, no, the manga continued quite a while after the anime ended. There's even a very recent reboot.Lucky Star is an unfinished seasonal anime.
>>283628860Gime examples of some obscure anime reference that Konata makes in the show.The only thing that comes to mind is the clerks that try to sell her stuff, wich were animated for a commercial by Hideaki Anno himself.Other than that, is just Haruhi and Keroro references.
>>283628978>the manga continueddoesn't count
>>283626422It's basically the otaku no video of the 2000's (basically a big collection of references) so I'm not surprised.
>>283628960Is a a popular show that is going to be remembered as a classic.Is going to be one stand out anime of this decade regardless of how shitty it is.
>it-it doesn't count!
>>283629106>big collectionWhere? Keroro and Haruhi is enough for you all to call it a big collection of references?
>>283626422It changed WESTERN otaku 100%.
>>283626422It was Densha Otoko (2005) TV series that marked a change in the public perception of otaku, actually. Normalfags got to empathize with a stereotypical otaku and realized that they weren't pedophiles and serial killers in the making, just meek nice guys with a lot of DI$PO$ABLE INCOME
