It's that time of year again.
It was a gently snowing Christmas eve, and the faintest traces of snow began to fall on the city, each snowflake like a soft, floating, aimless kiss. Two childfriends of each sixteen years, barely adults and yet barely still children, were slowly walking home.While they may have been childhood friends, it was merely the fact that they had known each other for a while. Their families weren't especially close, and there was no sort of arrangement to celebrate together. They would soon part ways at the next crossing."....." Tarou-kun seemed like he had something to say. His feet were hesitant and his walk weighted down. Ami-chan wondered what was on his mind."...Hey, Ami-chan." Caught off-guard by his sudden stop, Ami-chan walked abruptly into Tarou-kun's back."W-What was that for-" She began to rebuke him, but noticed that he seemed serious.She decided to let him speak."What sort of things are you doing tomorrow?""Hmmm, for Christmas, you mean? Well, nothing really.""Then..."
>>284717306it truly is, huh
"Ami-chan. You know... I'd be really happy if you could spend Christmas eve with me." "E, E, Ehhhhhhhh?!"
>>284717306I actually made it on time...
>>284717306Huh, time sure flies.
Ami-chan just felt like her mind had just been turned into a punching bag and used for speed training by Mike Tyson.Did, did Tarou-kun just ask her to spend Christmas eve with him? Seriously?Obviously, the answer was yes.If only her thoughts were that straightforward.This was a Christmas... d, d, date, wasn't it?She didn't know what to feel.She never expected Tarou-kun to ask so openly.But more importantly, she needed to respond.Was she happy about it? How was she supposed to know that? If she accepted, wouldn't that mean that she actually felt like that and then the two of them would be and tomorrow they would--"J, J..."Her words were tripping over themselves. "Just what do you think you're asking?!" She finally stammered out. "D, Don't push your luck. There's absolutely no way I like you enough to do that sort of thing with you!! Tarou-kun, you dummy! Just die!Baka! Humbug!"
Ami-chan ran furious all the way home.Tarou-kun didn't chase her, not did he seem upset.He simply watched her run with the eyes of someone resigned to his fate.
Later that night, as Ami-chan was about to go to bed, she was still thinking about what Tarou-kun had asked her.Really, the nerve of him...!She was pretty angry.
didn't we have this thread like a few months ago, wtf happened
But she was also a bit sad.
>>284717378Anon...
She felt she overreacted far too much to Tarou-kun's invitation.It wasn't as if she disliked him... he just surprised her with something that sudden.She decided to call him up and apologise a bit.
>>284717378>few monthsmore like 12 months
No, no, no, it was too embarassing after all, especially after all she said today.Tarou-kun was tough. He was usually a confident guy and he knew she was like this sometimes.He'd be fine when she next saw him.Thinking this, she prepared to go to sleep.
the board doesn't even have its Christmas decorations up yet
>>284717378Daylight Savings Time, of course.
Penis
Where sticky?
Then a ghost appeared from the telephone.
I've been waiting for this.
>>284717414REEE I HATE TSUNDERES
>>284717306Can't wait for this to become a rolling sticky so that nobody actually gets to read the comic
"I will warn you that this night of Christmas eve, you shall be visited by three spirits, who will show you visions of past, present and future. Heed their advice, contemplate on what you see, and ensure that you do not regret your actions on this day or from now on."
it can't have been a year already...
>>284717340What was her fucking problem?
And with that, the ghost vanished, leaving Ami-chan alone in the dead of night.What could the mysterious message have meant?Actions this day? Did they mean with Tarou-kun? Was this all some trick he was playing on her?Baka! Humbug!She would never in a million years do something as embarassing as go on a Christmas date with him. She was definitely, absolutely sure about that.Now, what had it said about three more ghosts?Well, she supposed it couldn't be helped.Not knowing what to do, Ami-chan went to sleep.<END OF FIRST STAVE>
It was the middle of the night, and Ami-chan woke up to visit the bathroom.Tarou-kun's request was still the main thing on her mind, to such an extent that she wondered whether the telephone ghost was just a bad dream.
>>284717469Tsundere is hell of a mental illness
Another one already???
"I AM THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST."With an impact like colliding meteorites, strong enough to make Ami-chan fall backwards, a giant figure burst out from behind her bathtub curtains."ARE YOU READY FOR THIS, KID? WE'RE GONNA FLY BACK TO YOUR PAST AND KICK SOME SENSE INTO YOU."Glowing a fantastic pure white, like burning magnesium, the figure stepped out of the tub and stood in front of her, reaching for her hand."No, wait, I'm not ready--!""LET'S GO!"
A flash of white.This was a memory from when they first met, she realised.Come to think of it, it was a Christmas exactly eight years ago. Ami-chan had been taking a tour around a meat factory when she'd slipped on a stray sirloin and fallen off the walkway, right into the jaws of the industrial meat grinder.Without hesitating a moment, Tarou-kun, who was also on the tour, instantly leapt after her and grabbed her hand, saving her from being minced to pieces. It was the start of a friendship that would last eight years into the future."You started becoming interested in him at that time, didn't you?" The ghost of Christmas past spoke to her in a calmer voice. His words made Ami-chan blush."...Hmph! Well, it's obvious, isn't it? Anyone would become interested in someone who saved them from the jaws of an industrial meat grinder. It's not like he was special, or anything.""Hahah." The ghost patted her hard on the head. "Well, fair enough. A man's gotta do more than just that to show a girl he's special."
>>284717503ANIKI
>>284717503ANIKIIIIIII
When was the TCC first written/drawn? I feel like it's been well over a decade.Also someone post the VN version.
It was another memory, the Christmas from the year after that.Tarou-kun had bought her the present she'd really wanted for a long time - a giant stuffed rabbit with 250 carat diamond eyes."You're amazing, Tarou-kun." Her younger self had said. "I feel really bad that the present I got you isn't worth anywhere near as much...""Haha, don't worry about it." He was carefree as ever. "Ami-chan, your smiling face is a fine present for me.""...That still isn't worth how much you paid for this." Ami-chan pouted back."In that case, you should keep smiling for the rest of the year. That'll be more than worth it."It was a bit later that Ami-chan found out he'd had to work hard to earn all the money for her present.She remembered asking him about it, and the bemused look on his face, as if he was a mischievous kid who'd been found out.He never did tell her just how long he worked for it."You've still got it, right?" The ghost asked her."...Yeah, of course.""That's good."
The next scene, from two years later.It was a group sleepover with everyone from class on Christmas, and they had been attacked by an assassin disguised as Santa Claus.Quickly protecting Ami-chan from harm, Tarou-kun leapt forward and hit him with a surprise attack.After a long battle, Tarou-kun was victorious and the assassin subdued."...Geh!" Ami-chan turned away as she saw her past self run up and give Tarou-kun a hug."You used to be pretty sweet on him, didn't you?" The ghost remarked. "Not just here, but you always clung to him during school and on the way home, and he was all you used to talk about-""No, no, no, no! I'm not listening! There's no way I did something like that!" She cut him off."The proof's right in front of you, little miss.""Okay, well maybe I did a bit, but that's just because he was cool and talented and did lots of interesting stuff! It wasn't as if he was special to me, or anything! It was just admiration as a friend, that's all!""Heh, so you admired him? Well, that's fair enough, given all he'd done. It sure was cute, though, the way you doted on him.""Shut up shut up shut up!" She tried hitting him, but her hand simply passed through his body. It was kind of creepy. "Besides, it's all in the past!""Why'd it all stop, then?" A clear and simple question, yet it made Ami-chan look away once again."That's... that's because..."To put it bluntly, she was embarassed. People teased her about their relationship. She was too self-conscious. She didn't want to be seen as that kind of lovestruck girl. After all, it was just... admiration. Of course, she can't have been in love with him.He was Tarou-kun, who she'd known since she was eight.There was no way it could happen, right?So, to end the misconceptions, she seperated herself from him. They were just ordinary friends."...It's none of your business." She finally told the ghost.
>>284717503ANIKI!
>>284717537>they killed Santa Claus
A white flash."Well, that's it for me." The ghost of Christmas past stretched lazily. "How was your trip down memory lane, kid?""...It wasn't anything special." She shrugged."Hahah, by your definitions of 'nothing special', I'll take that as a fine compliment." He laughed. "Hey, Ami-chan. Want me to give you some advice?""Not really.""I think the answer to what you should do will become clearer once you realise just how much that boy thinks of you.""...I used to think that I knew that." She mumbled, "But... now I'm not sure if I'm ready for things like romance, or l-love...""Heheh." The ghost laughed again. He seemed like a pretty carefree person."Girls like you have a real iron guard on their hearts. You never let out what you really feel. Maybe you don't even know yourself.That boy, though... I'm sure he'll be able to break through.He's already let you into his heart. If you stand back, you can watch as he drills into yours....Yeah, you need to let him drill into you.""Don't phrase it in such a stupid way!!""And once he's in your heart," It seemed the ghost was ignoring her, "I hope you take good care of him.""...Don't... don't decide that on your own, stupid---""Take care with the other two ghosts. They can both be quite a handful."There was another flash, and he was gone.<END OF SECOND STAVE>
>>284717513You can say that's how they first meat
>>284717549Aniki...
Ami-chan found herself once again in the frame of her bathroom door, exactly where she fell.There was no way she could pass that experience just now off as a dream.Which meant, of course, that she was probably in store to meet two more ghosts after this.She frantically turned her head, searching for anything out of the ordinary--And saw them.
>>284717422But Daylight Savings Time is in Summer!
>>284717340>Humbuggot me
A pair of eyes above the sink, glowing with a fierce solemnity."Greetings. I am the ghost of Christmas present."
"I am sure you are capable enough to have figured out the system, so we can proceed immediately to the task.I will show you a scene, a single scene, that is taking place at this very moment.Pay careful attention. It would be a bit unfortunate if you didn't understand at all."
>>284717589>qb
"What... what is this?"Once again, after a flash of white, Ami-chan found herself watching a new scene.This time, an unfamiliar one."As you can see, we are currently witnessing the actions of Tarou-kun." The ghost explained."N, No way this is Tarou-kun..."The room was almost impossibly dark, save for the rectangle of light, the computer monitor's silent scream, radiating out into the room. Tarou-kun sat at his desk, purposelessly typing away. Engaging in hollow conversations with an empty world, listening for an echo. Then there were his eyes.Eyes that had soaked up countless whispers of some alien, unforgiven coldness, that stared into mind-forged voids as he sat alone.This wasn't the energetic Tarou-kun that she knew.She couldn't comprehend what had caused such a drastic change in him.Sure, even if he really... l, liked Ami-chan... he wasn't the sort of person to get this depressed over a declined invitation.Even though it was practically a confession.Tarou-kun wouldn't stay down over that."Why... even on Christmas eve... why is he all alone?""It seems you are unaware of that boy's circumstances." The ghost calmly spoke.
>>284717581>>284717589I will not make a contract
>>284717567No, this was the Big Daylights Saving Time, not the regular one. You know, the one where they accelerate time. 2025 was only half as long as 2024.
"You are aware his parents passed away two years ago?""Yeah... But he still has a little sister...""Yesterday, she collapsed and was sent to hospital for emergency surgery. Tarou-kun wasn't allowed to see her. She is currently in critical condition with an uncertain chance of survival.""What? He never said anything about that--""As strange as it was, he had a reason. He wanted to always seem infallible to you. He did not want you to worry about him. Looking at him now, though, it seems clear that someone worrying would be an appropriate response.""T, That doesn't make sense...!" Ami-chan frantically tried to deny it. She had to deny something about this whole twisted situation. "If he really wanted me not to worry, why did he invite me over for Christmas? Was he planning to tell me then? Even if not, I would have noticed his sister wasn't there!""Well, it's true that was a slightly irrational decision of his. I suppose it is because in the end, Tarou-kun is only human.For an instant, this evening, he felt so isolated that he couldn't help but reach out. At that moment, and tonight, he is truly at his weakest. Fortunately, your denial caused him to realise his error. This is why he did not pursue you.""But... still... Tarou-kun... I know him... he's braver than this...""The scenes shown to you by Christmas Past were, of course, in the past. In truth, Tarou-kun was never particularly brave. The primary motivator for his charisma was always the desire to stay strong for the target of his affections.If you are being slow, that person is you. This is not your fault, but in the time he does not spend with you, he is notably less confident."
>>284717604What is he browsing?

>>284717589Homu, shoot him, quick!
Flash."No way..." She whispered, back in her bathroom. "...I need to call him.""I will leave you to it." The ghost's image flickered. "But perhaps you would benefit from this bit of reflection:Human emotions are volatile and difficult to interpret. With what feelings will you make your call?An affection on equal level with his? Simple concern? Or, as he would most resent, mere pity?""...I'm not pitying him." Ami-chan spoke. "I'll help him. ...Because I'm concerned, of course.""If that is what you say, then so be it." The ghost finally faded into the darkness.<END OF THIRD STAVE><WARNING: FORCED DRAMA INCOMING>
"...He's not answering."Ami-chan was a bit wary about using the phone after the event earlier, but she eventually gathered the courage to dial Tarou-kun's number.However, it seemed that her efforts were in vain.She decided she would visit him on Christmas, after all....But even then, what would she say to him? Wouldn't she make it worse? She still didn't know how to answer his feelings.A strange feeling brushed down her back. She had already felt it three times that night."...I know you're there, ghost. I, It's not like I'm scared or anything... but come out where I can see you."
>>284717635how did you posted this image if it was just a copypasted?
>>284717306I was looking forward to this, even more than usual
>>284717441I've always had a question: is the ghost an original character or a reference I haven't been able to identify?
"I'm already here.""E-Ehhh?!"Impossible. The voice had appeared from right behind her."H, how?" Ami-chan cried as she spun around. "I didn't sense your ghostly aura at all!""Naive." The ghost spoke plainly. "Just because I'm the Ghost of Christmas Future, did you assume I was going to be a ghost?""Of course I would, idiot!""In this world, the only idiots are the unprepared.""Are you making this up as you go along?""Silence. Now, observe. I will show you the future which you have carved for yourself."

>>284717549Goodbye aniki....
A new scene.Tarou-kun's life ended soon after he was informed of his little sister's death.Ami-chan was informed of this in turn.To be honest, Ami-chan didn't even need to be shown this scene of the future.That was because every tear, every cry, and every movement,Ami-chan understood them.Even if it hadn't happened yet, it was going to be a reality. And she had seen it first-hand.The Ami-chan in the vision cried. Ami-chan knew the end of every sentence before they even began."Tarou-kun! Why did--"--you think that you were alone?"Didn't you realise--"--that I would have been there?"...No. Of course--"--he didn't. Because I never told him."It's all--"--my fault."If only I'd--"--been more honest.Tears.And a flash.

Tarou-kun is my important friend. I can start from there.Is that all there is to it?No. There's more.Is it pity?Well, he's certainly in a pretty pitiful state right now, but I don't think that's it.I don't want to help him just because of that.It's something more positive.It doesn't actually matter whether he's sad or cheerful. Either way, it would be nice if I was with him.I guess I can say there's nothing about him I dislike......Really, in the end, I know exactly what answer these ghosts are trying to make me say.And I know it's probably true.I want to deny it.But there's no point. Especially in front of an omniscient ghost. I said I'd be honest. Just this once."...I... I'm in love with T, T, Tarou-kun."

Tarou-kun was sad.He was alone on Christmas.His sister was dead.His sister was dead.It felt like the world had expanded out around him and an empty darkness had filled the gaps.Any way he walked, he would only be met with nothing.In the end, there was only one way out.Of course, he was wrong, but here, right now, in his cold bedroom on Christmas eve, with all his family dead, this was the only way he could see.Push it away. Push it all away.Something shattered downstairs. A window. A burglar?Well, it didn't matter.Soon, nothing would matter. And all would be good. Once nothing mattered, there would be nothing that could make things worse if it went wrong.Push it away. Push it all away.

Because I like you so much that when you treat me nicely, I get so happy that I have to distract myself or else I'd get totally lost!When I get angry and blush, it means you're doing a good job!Ah, but there will be times when I'm actually angry, so be careful!But most of the time it should be okay, because I like you!D, Do you understand?"Tarou-kun blinked once."I understand."And smiled."I like you too, Ami-chan.""W, W, Well, I knew that, of course!" Ami-chan's blush had swept completely over her face."Did you really?""Y, Yeah, some ghosts told me!""I see.""So, because you're my b, b, boyfriend now, you can't kill yourself!""Okay.""And I'm really sorry to hear about your sister!""Thank you.""I'll help you through all your trauma and stuff, so don't kill yourself!""I already said I won't.""I need to double check!""That's very like you, Ami-chan.""I, It's not like I doubted you or anything, but--!"It seemed somehow, they would be able to sort things out.Their real journey begins here, but really, once you've saved each other from suicide and meat grinders, it's probably going to be smooth sailing from then on.

>>284718047Nous sommes pas des connards, monsieur. Mais joyeux noël à vous aussi je suppose.
>>284718033Anime years are a few hours shorter than Earth years, that's why it gets posted earlier and earlier each year. It has nothing to do with OP being an impatient faggot.

>>284717938Another year goes by, here since mid 2005... Only place that I love. Many stories shared. Was here for the first of this threads, I still love it, every Christmas I love it even more. Merry Christmas /a/!
>>284718245Are you a newfag? /a/ was always tsundere for Kubo hence why he has a banner.
>>284717340You fool...
>>284717938I tear up every time, thank you. Merry Christmas /a/!

>>284717526Taro went back to work at the meat factory and got paid quintuple time blackmailing them over the accident
>>284718398Ironic shitposting didn't exist back then. /a/ had even predicted one of the major villain's powers back then.
>>284717938i go to /a/ every year just for this
>>284718440I remember you from last year! Which medaka am I looking for?
Anyone got the Kubo edit where he's a titty monster and a loli?
>>284717306It's that time of the year again.
>>284717786HE DID THE THING AGAIN
>>284717997Mid 2005 fag here, no going anywhere, tried when mootkins left but it ended up being like a vacation, only a fucking month.
>>284717549Aniki...You haven't dropped your drill, have you anon?
>>284717340>Baka! Humbug!"Never gets old
>>284717589DON'T SIGN SHIT AMI-CHAN
>>284717660KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>284718267There's a near infinite amount of good manga that was published in the past, just go read a classic
Tsuncunts are shit and always have been
>>284717604He's just like me Except I smile for this thread
>>284717660KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>284718453Hello, tourist.
I love having the same thread with all the same posts every year (unironically)
>>284717660KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>284718534The right term would be crossboarder, newfag-kun.
>>284718451I don't even remember what it was so I'm going to pretend it was this
>>284718368Thank you. Tarou-kun felt extra relatable to me this year, no tsundere childhood friend though.
>>284717938Aside from celebrating Christmas, today is also my tenth year in this place (I know, post-moot newfag). I just finished school that time and had to leave home to look for a job. I was lonely during Christmas and I ended up finding my home here. My life is a lot worse than it was back then, but I’m glad that I at least found this place. Most of my good memories from the past decade came from this site so I'm really thankful for this place.
>>284717660>are you making this up as you go along?KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>284717938merrry christmas /a/i don't come here very often but i wish all of you make it. you all deserve it. i love you all you bastards.
>>284717786the reaction to anno/oshii/fujimoto versus kubo doing this is the otaku equivalant of the human resources meme
>>284718340My condolences anon. Hope you can still find some merry even in these times
>>284717700DON'T DO IT LAD
>>284718575Take me back to those simpler times... When Kubo was the king of /a/...

>>284717859Don't be negative
>>284718625Whatever happened to the whole "Burn the Witch" project that was supposed to come out from the one shot? I recall talks about bringing it in to make a continuation to Bleach from the NA side into the Japanese side and kick starting Ichigo's son.
>>284717866For fuck's sake Kubo
>>284717786ImmaculateThanks Kubo

Why does /a/ like Bleach and its mangaka? I thought we hated black-coded manga like Bleach, Naruto, Dragon Ball, and One Piece.
>>284719146but you guys are my friends and family
>>284718936Does listening to music not help?
>>284719216I'll MAKE you sticky.
>>284717859Better for no one to not know what this refers to rather than have once known and forgotten what it was due to the passage of time anon.
>>284718245Back when Bleach was running and the Fake Karakura Town arc was going on, the Bleach threads were actually good and had tons of OC and speculation that Kubo was writing a layered master plan. It was done with the awareness that he easily might not be doing so, but there was still actual hope and the story had some interesting elements left. Kubo himself might not have been seen as great by everyone, but the KUBOOOOOposting was a joy. He earned his banner on this site.
>>284717938Merry X-mas!

No seriously, I really want this comic to get an improved, authentic manga adaptation by someone with competent art skills. Why hasn't anyone attempted this yet? And don't give me that "sovl" bullshit, you all know goddamn well that this could be drawn better.
>>284719590HOLY FUCKING KINOOOOOOOO
Merry Kurisumasu, /a/. I love everyone one of you, even the ones I hate!Does anyone remember the name of the comedy anthology manga that begins with a chapter about kabedon bang walls? I figured this might be the most likely thread to get an answer

>>284721724never fails to make me cringe every year
>>284717938That was actually very comforting. Merry Christmas.Also, does /a/ think I should get into Medaka Box or no? Anime or manga, which would be more preferable?
>>284717503ANIKIIIII
>>284717938And then, she realized―All of it, every single page of the story... it was not reality. It was just panels of a comic she was reading. That's right. This year as well, on Christmas, she was browsing /a/. And she thought back on the years, on all the times she had read through this story, and she smiled, a single tear twinkling in her eye."Ho ho ho," she said.<END OF ACTUAL FINAL STAVE>

>>284721754>thttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q16KpquGsIc
>>284721754Always original first. In Medaka Box' case, that goes double and triple, as the anime cut off right when the best character gets introduced and the manga got good.

>>284721980Just emphasis. Don't bother with the anime, is what I meant. At most watch the final episode once you're done with the manga, a pretty good anime original.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life still, but hopefully I can be in a better position come this time next year. I really need to start working out though, that will be my new years resolution. I've really put on some weight this past year. At the same time, I plan to watch more seasonal anime and take part in more threads I've been slacking this year. Good luck and good health to all my fellow /a/nons in the future. Cheers!!!

>>284722719He's written a handful of manga, including Medaka Box, but the art is handled by someone else. In this case, it was Riroland, a low profile h-mangaka. I don't think he's published anything in years.

>>284724534>The two rival parishes are the churches of Agios Markos and Panagia Erythiani. They have been built on the edges of two hills, about 400 meters away from each other. Immediate hits for each bell tower are supposed to be counted to determine the winner the next day, but each parish always maintains that it won. The result from this apparent disagreement is that both communities agree to settle next year's score and so the rivalry is perpetuated.Greeks can be based sometimes.

>>284720248Well, I found a high-paid job in January and then got laid off a week ago, not sure if it counts as an achievement but at least I've invested most of those money into a better apartment.The tech job market looks worse than it was before but I still hope to land a position with similar salary. Let's see if this is possible
>>284717938Merry Christmas, ya filthy /a/nimals.

>>284727742A combination of the 15 minute wait times and the entire site being down for a few weeks did more damage to this site's traffic than anything I've ever seen. 2025 was a rough year for 4chan
>>284728888Checked. Where do we go when this site finally kicks the bucket?
Merry Christmas, /a/. Have a wonderful evening with your waifu and may all your /a/ wishes come true.

>>284728961Is there actually going to be a point where 4chan will finally shut down for good?
>>284717938Merry Christmas /a/nontachi. I still hate most of you, especially the newfags, but some of you are alright.
>>284717306Love you guys. Merry christmas to all of you.

Damn I almost missed it, I thought it was on christmas day

>>284729558Don't worry. People have been saying this since I first started using 4chan at 14 years old. I am 26 now.

How does he do it year after year?
>>284717938Merry Christmas, /a/. I hope to see you all next year.
>>284717938meri kurisumasu /a/
>>284729558I know the site isn't what it used to be, but as someone who enjoys 4chan for hobby discussion as much as shitposting, I'd consider certain boards like /a/, /fit/, /tv/, /co/, /an/, and /wsg/ to be as good as ever UNTIL 2025. Now there are so fewer people posting, that there isn't as much conversation to be had. the most fun I've ever had on 4chan was the influx of dailies and storytimes on /a/ during covid
>>284717870It's not Christmas there yet though. East hemisphere bros win again!
>>284718935I'm here right now
>>284725534that anime was pretty good. too bad it only had one season despite the LN still continuing;however Akatsuki no Yuna (?) had to wait a decade for another season or OVA, so who knows.
>>284728961Someone creates another 4chanI can make the logo
>>284730142>SpoilerSame. I love those Lucky Star threads.
>>284730180>>284728961there are other chans, but they're not as active like this one.
>>284729238Still one of the least crappy places for discussion on the internet simply by virtue of not having an algorithm constantly shoving ads and curated garbage content in front of your face
HO~ HO~ HO~!
>>284729558will anyone on 4chan make anything original again?
>>284730180I chuckled
>>284730165>>284719506You guys going to comiket?
>>284730243Originality necessitates sincerity, and sincerity is now deemed cringe and reddit by the unwashed masses.
>>284729558>>284729778I've been consistently posting here since I was 10 and now I am 19. It feels good, honestly.

>>284718935Actually I did, It was a blast.
>>284730880no? The one going on right now started around last year, and they're still active in Discord.
>>284730573Wow, it's been a long time since I saw this.
>>284731199the you missed this too
>>284728961>>284730180>>284729207I like Yotsuba too much to get comfy with altchans. Someone just has to recreate this site with a solid backend and add QoL features without fucking with the design too much.
i've never read this, ever.i barely use /a/. well. no time like the present.
Sad Christmas
>>284717786I see KUBO!
When did y’all start posting on /a/? For me, it was 2014-2015 around the time when Moot left.
Feels like this year there were less jolly Christmas meta/off-topic threads.I don't even mean like the mods were grinching them, like less were just made.
>>284731362The end of 2008 after reading FSN
>>284731378I get what you mean, but it isn't even Christmas yet in most of the western world. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
>>284731378I think everyone on the internet is just “Grinchy” nowadays. A million things to be pissed about compared to like 10 years ago
>>284731362When KLK was airing, so late 2013.
>>284730404>better-adjustednah I became a pedophile
>>284730921Merry Christmas /a/!It's been a while
>>284717786every year its still just as kino
>>284717938Merry Christmas /a/nons. Stay smart and stay safe.
>>284731362I started on 4chan on /b/ in 2014 and switched to /a/ in 2016 when it got too political for me.>>284731378Don't know if it counts, but this year's autism stream threads were routinely nuked during the first two weeks of December. It's not like we were even invading other threads or something, we would have one thread, discussing anime, and they would kill it for no reason.
>>284717938Merry Christmas /a/, (You) all will forever be a very important part of my life.
>>2847314954chan culture before and after 2016 (Honestly 2014 but that’s more on /v/) is very noticeable. Genuinely depressing how much bullshit there is now. At least /a/ still traditions. I can’t even recognize some boards nowadays
>>2847313622011-2012I've lurked properly

>>284731652suck a dick, faggot
>>284730591^_^
>>284731606Honestly, I’d moreso blame other social media sites as a whole making 4chan seem like this obscene place and the East-Asian Legume Jacks just making this place a “woe is me” circlejerk. Genuinely kinda why I started posting on /a/ more. I don’t give a fuck if you can’t get a girlfriend. I wanna pseudo-intellectual post about Evangelion and why Misato did nothing wrong
>>284731569I have hope that one day things can return to how they once were, despite each year looking like a darker abyss I want to believe in a happy ending.

>>2847313622007Gurren Lagann spelled the end for me
>>284731746The world changed for the worst.Internet changed for the worst.People are more divided and bitter than ever. It would be ridiculous to expect 4chan to stay the same.
>>284731925All we can do is not fall for the bullshit that’s plagued the world. Maybe I’ll finally contribute to the draw threads. Make people smile rather than be an asshole
>>284732010>>284731925The key is to stop dooming, the doomerism is how you lose. Never doom, always have hope.

>>284720248I started learning Japanese and learnt ~2k words
>>284731362Sometime during 2012, for eva 3.33 and muv luv total eclipse

>>284718935I did! I loved every single second of the trip
>>284717938Merry Christmas, /a/nons, one and all
>>284732325I'm glad that someone still gets this
>>284717786KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>2847313622018, wish I gave it a chance earlier because it's been my home since
>>284731362I stumbled into this place from a hentai forum dabbling with imageboards in 2005.What a long and strange journey it has been.Much changed for the worse, but there is still no better place to talk about hobbies than here. Take care of yourself guys. As long as you keep your passion and love for your hobbies and interests things can become better yet.
>>284731362Maybe around 2013 or 2014before that I mostly just posted on /g/ since it was filled with underaged retards like myself at the time
Merry Christmas /a/nons
>>284731362Mid 2009, gorespammer shitting up Bakemonogatari threads was my first impression of the board. The rest is history.
Test
>>284731362Around 2020-21. Before that I didn't use English internet much, and all I'd heard of 4chan untill that point made me dislike it.Eventually I got tired of forums being dead, I had a brief episode with websites I won't name, I disliked all of them, and during the lockdowns I stumbled upon this site. I wish I had found about it earlier because it's the only place where I feel I can find some people that agree with me, at least to a degree. People who think like me.Lately I haven't been as active as I would like to because of having to focus on work, and finding myself in a cycle of work-sleep-repeat, but I hope for that to change next year.
Hey /a/, Merry Christmas!
>>2847313622005 or very early 2006, I remember Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu started airing shortly after.
>>284731362I lurked for a few years but didn't post on the site at all until 2010 or 2011.
>>284731569>>284731606/a/ is one of the boards that declined the least since 2016/17 as far as post quality goes, but it has still massively declined in many ways.The cold hard truth though is that /a/ did not decline just because of newfags and ragebaiters. It declined in part because of the industry itself. Noteworthy anime originals are extremely rare now, so you're stuck with seasonal adaptation threads where half the people on them have already read the source material. There are also so many seasonal shows that it's hard to keep up, so many series just have very little engagement. Discussing ongoing series is just not as fun as it used to be 15 years ago. Manga threads aren't any better, they're basically generals.Then there are outside factors like localization problems no longer just being bad faith translations by people who clearly despite what they're working on, but now affecting the actual production itself. That leads to more negativity, in a hobby that was meant to be an escape from the constant negativity everywhere else.At least we still have the occasional fun thread here, though mods have been cracking down on these too for the past few years.
>>284720248I moved out to my own place for the first time in my life. That's about it.Everything else is the same. I hope to be more energetic in 2026 (going to the gym, learning nip, finding a way out of my shithole country, finishing my personal projects, etc).
>>284732833true
>>284731362I don't really know, either 2018 or 2020 after I fell out of /v/
>>284717920I love when colour appears in a black and white medium.
Merry Christmas /a/, I'm feeling pretty lonely since I don't have family or money for food but I have you all
>>284717938Merry Christmas to /a/ll of (You)!>>284731362Been here since 2013 at least
I wish I could bring myself to post more, but I'm afraid of starting to care. I will once again feel like I can't miss anything. I want to be free. I've already stopped being like that to people, I've found some peace, but I don't want to abandon places like here.
>>284731362late 2015 herecan't believe it's been 10 years already
>>284717938Merry Christmas yet again /a/
>>284732833The most fun threads on /a/ has always been threads that derail into something completly irrelecant to anime/manga.Like a thread suddenly turning into /a/viation or some shit.
>>284717635>reflection>he's in front of a mirrorit's the little things
>>284717938Merry Christmas /a/nons and to all a good /a/!
>>284732833You're probably right, but the manga threads I participate in are usually nice.Like a remnant of something buried in time.
>>284717660Every year
>>284717938Merry Christmas, /a/ (For real this time)
>>284717938Merry Christmas /a/. I'm going to a family party the day after but I admit it's a bit sad to be alone on Christmas day. Glad to have you guys.

>>284719099They banned you because they thought everyone other than themselves were little girls.
>>284721800Nani!?
>>284718916>>284719099feels like year after year we get new mods or admins who don't understand culture or how 4chan acted decades before they started posting here.
>>284717938Merry Christmas to all Anons, even THAT one
>>2847313622013I came from Funnyjunk
>>284732248Damn, when did they even introduce pass?
>>284718340I'm sorry to hear that anon. Keep your chin up the best you can.
just barely over 1k posts after ten hours. after too many years of wishing, it finally came true. having denied the coup de grace, may you all remain lumberers on within the heaving rot of this bloated corpse."for hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee"
>>284731362I'm unironically an election tourist>10 years ago
Any Christmas-themed doujins you'd recommend, anons?
>>284731362Probably 2014/15. And not because of politics cancer, but because I read the Fate VN and wanted to share my ideas of a big tiddy Seiba.I even lurked several months before posting.
>>284733795IIRC late 2012?They even made it available via buttcoins when it was first introduced
>>284717938Merry Christmas /a/! Can't wait for next year's thread!
>>284717340>Baka, HumbugStill love this shit
>>284730921>>284731454Oh shit! It's you guys! Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all of you, magnificent bastards. I've been on this website for over 19 years now, and I won't leave, because despite your rampant faggotry, shit taste and autism, I still love you all. I wish you all the best for the next year
>>284717306MERRY KURISUMASI, /a/
>>284717938Merry christmas!
It's late and I want to sleep. But I also want to stay ITT just a bit longer. Just some more comfy posting, waiting for anon to reply. Be a part of something for just a little longer. Because what if it's the last time? I haven't felt like this in years.
merry christmas /a
>>284732922Hang in there, bro. Praying for (You).

>>284731362Had a bad break up in 2015 then met my waifu and rediscovered manga in 2016. I'd mostly be a /co/mrade and /d/egenerate before then
>>284729301MELLI
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck i was at the mall and i ran into an old former friend from years ago who i stopped talking to along with everyone else i knew and i said hi and she said hi back but didn't even say my name and walked off real quick without continuing the conversation and it's not like we left off on terrible terms but it wasn't great either and i guess i'm either forgotten irrelevant or hated by all of them but at least i have you guys, you all who will never hate or betray me because ironically being anonymous means i can be myself without these difficult hard feelings getting in the way forever anyways merry christmas /a/ holy fuck
>>284717786KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>284728340>>284728750DAIZ!>despite everything.That's our line!
I never grow sick of this. See you next year anons.
>>284734753I know that feel.
I can't believe I've been missing this much kino for so many years.
Would any of you be interested in having me read TCC out loud to you? I really like reading this to people irl but I'm alone this year.
>>284734870Sounds autistic
>>284734753It could always be worse mate. But what I've learnt from experiences like that is that's better to left those memories as just memories and not try to think much about them, because you'll spend your time and energy thinking about scenarios that weren't shaped in the way you wanted. So just let past be and focus in the present. Love you anon and merry Christmas
>>284731678I personally knew 2 of them.Rest in Peace, and Merry Kuri.
>>284734593
>>284734870Whenever you are in doubt just do it!

>>284735242Symphogear was even more retarded than I thought it would be.
>>284734870I was just thinking of creeping over to one of the /soc/ audio threads and seeing if this was something they'd participate in. I'm cool to do any of the feminine voices if need be, email me kthxbaidesukattyhaus@protonmail.com
