YOU SOLD OUTYOU SOLD OUTYOU SOLD OUT
>>284829980Ruri Dragon is a moe/sol manga.
>>284829980You prefer they partnered with kadokawa again instead?
>>284830019A godawful one...oh, wait. All moe is awful. Well, still an awful series.
>>284830490Yeah so they're adapting yet another shit source material, how is this considered selling out?
>>284830510Becoming a WSJ content farm is a sign the studio doesnt care anymore
>>284829980>not working kadokawa, tbs and key didn't kill the studio>arson didn't kill the studio >staff dying and leaving didn't kill the studioSurvived all this only for the soul to die by bending the knee to wsj.
>>284830430>selling out to things I want is good>"selling out" to things I don't want is badThat's basically the gist of their argument.
>>284830528>>284830686wsj?
>>284829980their talents died in that fire
>>284831192Wall Street Journal.
>>284829980So what i'm getting is that they were hyping up some big project through all this time and it came out to be an anime adaptation of some shit that nobody cared or knew about? What a load of absolute shit.
>>284829980They sold out ever since they picked up Hibikek
>>284832274It's the complete opposite, RuriDragon is already well known unlike KyoAni's usual source material.
>>284832457boring bait made by a slop shonen enjoyer
>>284832588>slop shonen enjoyerNow you take that back.
>>284832607no, i don't think i will
>>284832588Not all shonen are bad, thinking that only the other genres are good is a newfag misconception
>>284829980isnt this just returning to their roots?
>>284832992Why?
>>284832274Ruri Dragon was a massive immediate hit to the point that the magazine was fine with the author dropping dead and taking a 2 year hiatus after like 5 chapters then moving to a way more lax schedule when they came back
>kyoani is making an anime of something known rather than stealing a WN from some nobody and rewriting half of it to prevent the author from claiming they were ripped offIf only THE HERO had 2 buckets of gasoline
>>284829980Sold out how? they are one of the biggest studios in animation history this makes no sense
>>284833073Because you're uninformed?
>>284833038>could you elaborate?>*oh no he's calling me out* r-retard...kek
>>284833026it was such an immediate hit that nobody gave a fuck about it or even knew it exists before kyoani made an announcement about it, thus the author could even take a 9 year hiatus between making chapters because nobody would've cared.
What happened?
>>284833107Japan liked it, which is the only criteria that actually matters here.
>>284833073>>284833123Of course you've never heard of it. Two different worlds are colliding here, two sides of /a/ that has never interacted before. But I assure you, Ruri is a moe SoL and isn't a battle shonen whatsoever.
>>284833124A Haruhifag is having a meltdown because season 3 didn't get announced.
IDC about Haruhi anymore but Ruri Dragon looks dumb
>>284829980nobody cares nigra, jump have the money to get any studio, you're free to not watch it
I enjoy SoLs but ruridragon suffers from a large cast of one-offs (mainly her classmates) who have no distinguishing feature whatsoever and barely gets explored as characters aside from when the spotlight hit them for one chapter.The world around her feels so featureless as a setting, which is honestly a feat considering that fucking dragons exist in the setting.
>>284833890Kyoani can trace the backgrounds from random rural towns in kyoto and people will call it "true to life" and "a realistic allegory of a teenage girls' problems". ruridragon is a perfect example of shit you can coat in gold and people will call it a masterpiece.
they have adapted nothing but dogshit since having a falling out with kadokawa and shoji gatoh, working with jump is really good news for the future
>>284829980>>284830528>>284830686>Having a melty because Kyoani makes 1 fucking where stuff borderline happensLet me assure you, nobody in WSJ threads care about Ruri since it has no competition.
>>284829980Dragon Maid was already total crap desu, I'm surprised they adapted something so schlocky and terrible
>>284833073If Kyoani is important how come I've never heard of most of these shows. They should be thankful that Jump is letting them handle a hot commodity like Ruri Dragon when most of their catalog is literally-who BS like 'Hyoka' or 'Kyokai no Kanata'.
Haruhifags were spamming threads (of course, like most Haruhi threads, they all struggled to get more than 20 replies since the series is completely forgotten) and now they're sperging because Kyoani will never give a shit about them
>>284833073Probably because of the hiatus. But I still remember it to this day because the circumstances were so strange.
>>284834228>shoji gatohYou're a retard, he literally wrote a novel for their label which he had in plans with late takemoto.
>>284832274>bocchi reaction pic calling out another series for being unheard of pre-animepretty sure ruri at its peak annihilated bocchi even after the anime boost
>>284829980why's everyone suddenly freaking out about kyoani?
>>284830019Ruridragon is slop. It is extremely badly written, like, textbook example of bad writing. It is extremely disappointing to see Kyoani finally do literally anything other than hibikek for once and it's this garbage.
>>284829980What's happened now?
>>284833053Kys
Their shit literally got torched and they kept making anime and you faggots will still complain
>>284834256>Ruri Dragon>stuff borderline happensNegro, what the FUCK are you talking about. Nothing happens in Ruri Dragon, the dialog is shit, and the characters are non existent.
>>284836935just checked the news.they're going to do ruri dragon and op is having a meltdown because they picked the wrong one or something lol.
>>284830490battle shounen cocksucker
>>284833087If it was really successful then even uninformed people would know about it
>>284837090Okay got it
>>284829980They've been dead for over a decade
>>284837002>Violet Evergarden movie>Maid Dragon S2>midFuck off they were good
>>284837509Yes>>284837551>Unironically ruined the franchiseHow?>Not as good as the first onI never said it was. However it was still good>Even then they are sequel, which shows a lack of originalityNot necessarily. Maid Dragon is a popular IP, so naturally it got a sequel
>>284837090RURIGODS WON, get mogged op and everyone else losing their shit
>>284829980>KyoAni being Kadokawa's stooge throughout most of its existence doesn't make them sellouts but making an adaptation of a Shuiesha property is going too far
>>284838623>nobody not even kyoani thinking kadokawa was niceSo the fuck do people want them to go back to them so badly?
>>284836935Kyoani hyped a projectHaruhifags desperately clung to itThey are now raging
>>284838741Hypocrisy.
They'll burn for this
>>284829980Most of KyoAni's best talents have long since left since the arson incident, many of them moving over to Science Saru or similarKyoAni is a shadow of its former self
>>284841728For the nth time they can't just make a new Haruhi or K-On season if Kadokawa or Houbunsha are unwilling to license the IP. They don't own these series, I don't know why it's so fucking hard to understand this.
>>284833073why are there so many anons that're smug about the fact that they don't know A FUCKING WSJ SERIES. LITERALLY THE MOST MAINSTREAM MANGA IMPRINT IN THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD.It's basically admitting to the board that you can't even read children's comics.
>>284844107>>284844160The irony that neither of these posts are written in proper English.
>>284844035I'm sure Kadokawa will sell Haruhi to Kyoani.
>>284829980No company should be this idolized.
>>284833053I would have passed him 10 more to burn the other studio.
>>284844869Wow, so edgy. How old are you, 11?
>>284841678This. KyoAni has burned out. There's no fire to their works anymore. It's been uninspiring slop since Maidragon S3 ended.
>>284844913Cry more. Your shit studio will never come back.
Shonen is not a genre. Shonen is a demographic.ARIA was published in a shonen magazine.
>>284844953So why do you want to burn the other studio?
CITY was AOTD and episode 5 was the most impressive episode of anime of all-time.
>>284829980I mean... who else better to do a Dragon Girl anime?
>>284844996So slop eating retards like you would never return to /a/.
Name even 2 anime originals done by Kyoto Animation that are worth anybody's time that don't fall under the wide label of "moeshit"Just 2
Sounds like a lot of tourists shitposting about something totally normal
>>284829980What's the issue? Skimming the thread, they announced they're adapting Ruri Dragon?I don't see the big deal
>>284845354A few absolute retards are sperging out because it's a Jump manga even though it's moe SoL.But it's mostly people who ruin fruit with Tajin shitposting because it's KyoAni, as always. They are eternally buttblasted that the best anime studio never animates their favorite battleshonen manga.
Hey retards, just... go and AI generate S3 or something, it could probably do that at this point. Haruhi is not the only anime in the world. You're all just a bunch of fucking hot airs.
>>284844368They defined the golden age.
>>284845143Solid % of /a/ post count is that now
>>284829980what happened?
>>284846025Ruri dragon is getting adapted by KyoAni.
>>284846096and this is bad why?
>>284829980YOU LOST. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA
>>284846112nothing. It's a shonen jump manga and they're pissed about that.
>>284845072Ah, I see. You want /a/ to only talk about Solo Leveling.
>>284829980ruri dragon is the most on brand kyoani show in recent memory
>>2848299801 fire wasnt enough
>>284835298>If Kyoani is important how come I've never heard of most of these shows.because theyre a shit studio
>>284835298it's because you were born in 2008
>>284845009they're ignoring you because you're right
>>284829980As if this was supposed to make me angry, after KyoAni did pioneer work in lolicon fanservice being removed from the industry.>>284830019It's not moe. That requires actually cute characters and a writing that doesn't obviously cater to teen boys.
>>284845111I find it hysterical that this was posted like 2 hours ago and hasn't gotten one single reply.
>>284846512Not funny
>>284845009Too bad it wasn't funny. Guess they should focus on adapting comedic manga that are actually funny instead of ones that suck.
>>284845111Violet EvergardenA Silent VoiceLiz and the Blue BirdHyoukaFree! (if you're into yaoi)Myriad Colors Phantom World
CITY WAS funny.It wasn't like, Asobi Asobase or Hinamatsuri funny, but it wasn't trying to be. The humor, intentionally, took a backseat to a sense of pure fun and joy, the comfy vibes and emphasis on the interconnected nature of the city.But it WAS funny.
>>284846512Why haven't they hanged you yet Shinji?
>>284835298Because you're another 2016 tourist
>>284848836There has never, in the history of the world, ever been anything called a 2016 tourist. There is only 2010 newfags and 2020 tourists. Anyone who says otherwise is a reddit faggot who needs to fuck off back there now.
>>284829980Oh boy MORE slice of life slop!Just like 99% of all fucking anime
>>284848940Seethe, SOL is the heart and soul of anime
>>284848907Now you're speaking like someone who isn't even a 2016 tourist, covid cum kimetsu bunch i guess.
>>2848489072007 is the newfag cutoff point. Any year after that is something else.
>>284848907Are you shibbolething over someone saying 2016 tourist over 'election tourist'? Or are you just retarded?
>>2848489402/3 anime every season have action listed in the genre list. What the FUCK are you talking about?
>>284848836Wrong, I started using /a/ 3 months ago. I think Kyoani is lame, Gainax is even worse. Guess what, you still gotta read all my posts and my dick is bigger and stinkier than yours is.
>>284848907I don't give a fuck. There was a blatant influx of shit that didn't belong since last decade if you were paying attention and, judging from too many threads, it's only gotten even worse.
>>284849038Action? Where?
>>284849027>>284849014I've been here since 2008. There was absolutely no change in 2016. There WAS huge change on /a/ specifically in 2010, where we were invaded with newfaggots who brought down the posting quality until at least 2013. Those were truly dark times. Then, of course in 2020, the entire site was invaded by redditors, but /a/ actually suffered the least, funnily enough.
>>284849137Every. Single. Fucking. Season. I reject 2/3 of the anime on livechart.me because they say Action in the genres list because I don't ruin fruit with Tajin.
>>2848491592013 was actually the biggest negative change because of SnK.
>>284849137Depends on your outlook.If action counts on action then there is alotIf it has action but has romantic undertones like sao shit or slice of life then there is none aside from sports.
>>284849159The 2016 US Presidential election caused a massive change to the site with a huge influx of the dumbest motherfuckers to ever exist brought here because it was the 'cool thedonald website'. Which directly rolled into the other political obsessives that use the site today as a springboard like the goypers.
>The 2016 US Presidential election caused a massive change to the site with a huge influx of the dumbest motherfuckers to ever exist brought here because it was the 'cool thedonald website'.>Which directly rolled into the other political obsessives that use the site today as a springboard like the goypers.
>>284845143Yeah, a ton of zoomers and ESLs screeching social media style garbage at each other.
>>284849230>>284849203>posting reddit propagandaPlease die in a fucking fire. Again, there was no change in 2016—literally every post on this site was in line with how it'd been in previous years. The board culture and site culture did not change. Meanwhile, 2020 brought the most subhuman reddit scum to our site, and we're still seeing it's effects even now. The fact that you actually, unironically see pro-censorship posts on /a/ is from the 2020 invasion. Faggots like you support that shit.
>>284849328>—
>>284849311Zoomers and pajeets didn't come in 2016, you faggot. They came in 2020. They're the ones who unironically say shit like>Umm, she's only [X age]
>>284849362We're talking about trash from /vpol/ like you
>>284849282>shitting on /pol/tards automatically makes you a commie nowProving him exactly.
>>284849377No, we're talking about reddit faggots like you. You don't fit in here, and you're not welcome here. 4chan is anti-censorship now and forever. Take for faggotry back to /r/reddit and die there.
>>284849398Being pro-censorship makes you a commie, and you faggots are literally proving it in this thread. Why do you think you're allowed to post on /a/ when you have reddit beliefs?
>>284849417Holy shit, you retards don't even actually fucking read posts anymore.
>>284849417>commieKill yourself back to /pol/, tourist
>>284849434You're arguing that 2016 changed the board, because it brought in /pol/tards. Except the board didn't change whatsoever, and I can attest to that, considering I've been here. Meanwhile, /a/ HAS changed in the last five years. It's not dramatic, but you NEVER would have seen anyone going to bat for literal censorship on /a/ prior to the 2020s.
>>284849452You're not welcome. You've never been welcome. Literally every time you post, we've always told you to fuck off and go back. Why can't you get it through your head already that /a/ is not reddit? We don't believe the shit you believe in, and we never will.
>>284849404>>284849417Is this is a malfunctioning bot? This is not a censorship thread.
>>284849482The only thing that changed on this board is that there is an even greater influx of unicorns, incels, and people constantly asking "Why is this (EXCITING THING) more popular than (NOT EXCITING THING) It's NOT FAIR!"
>>2848493282016 brought the crowd that coined terms like tranime. >https://desuarchive.org/_/search/text/tranime/order/asc/>https://archived.moe/_/search/text/tranime/order/asc/>https://archive.4plebs.org/_/search/text/tranime/order/asc/It started well before 2020, and was clearly started by the deranged retards that came over in 2016 due to the election. There is no denying this. There was a huge cultural shift over the 2015-2016 period, more than any other in a decade before or after it. >>284849362Zoomers were at least 15-20 in 2016, AKA the prime age for people to start using this site.
>>284849452You can both fuck off. The right needs an otaku and citizen friendly reset and the left needs destroyed completely. Sick of retards pretending either wing hasn't gone after my anime tits or lolis.
What changed was we now had more same day subs rather than waiting a few days for low quality fansubs
>>284849482No one was whining about censorship until you gamergate /vpol/ tourists jumped on the bandwagon because the only thing you care about is losing access to infinite gooning material. You're never going to fit in when all you do is regurgitate culture war derangement from elsewhere as if that's ever mattered to /a/. /a/ was literally a pro-censorship board that banned discussion of certain series. You shamelessly lie about having been here for any amount of time and about how things were before you were even born lol>>284849517Whining about reddit is just another one of those things you tourists bring here from /vpol/ that has never really mattered outside of the general annoyance 4chan had for anyone who reposted memes. Coincidentally, you tourists are the ones who constantly post twitter screenshots, images from reddit, and memes from other boards while accusing everyone who points out what you losers are doing as being from reddit. You just mimic styles of speaking that have meaning in your /vpol/ echo chamber but which have no relevance here. Saying someone is reddit is not some power move that has value.
>>284849558Well what else would you expect to call people who are obsessed with girls and hate everyone who is male?That shit was brought on by the entire community.
>>284849531Holy fucking shit, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT /a/ NEGATIVELY CHANGING IN RESPONSE TO OUTSIDE INVASION.>>284849558>2016 brought the crowd that coined terms like tranime.And frogs weren't posted here prior to to like 2010. What's your point? Memes and terminology change as time passes, even on 4chan. The point is that our CORE VALUES began to shift after 2020, which is something we need to fight against ardently.>>284849536>incelsWe literally used to have ronery threads in 2008 and 2009, you reddit faggot.
>>284849571>my anime tits or lolis.Why would a parasite like you be entitled to anything? You're just a porn addict who only cares our media and subculture as another cheap fix. You're swine that can be used as livestock for artists who want to farm you, but your opinions do not matter.
>>284849616>whining about censorshipFUCK OFF BACK TO /R/EDDIT AND STAY THERE YOU FAGGOT CANCER PIECE OF HUMAN FUCKING SHIT.>/a/ was literally a pro-censorship board that banned discussion of certain seriesDie in a fucking fire, 2010 newfag. moot blew you newfag redditors the fuck out with your underage faggotry.
>>284849621Acting like any of that was an actual problem that existed or had to be addressed is just demonstrating the issue. There was nothing 'brought on', the newfags that came to the site for the election just hated the old culture deeply and had huge gender neuroses on top of that.
>>284849674The newfags that came to the site after the 2020 election just hated the old culture deeply and tried to convince us we like censorship and hate cute girls. You're still trying to convince us of this, desperate to turn /a/ into reddit.
>>284849616>g**ningIt's of course this fucking retard again. Kill yourself already.No, gatekeeping against normalfags ESPECIALLY doesn't mean we agree with your moralfaggotry about rape fetishes or ages.
>>284849654You say that, but we are in a thread for an anime that is all about fanservice with women.
>>284849621>>284849697can not decide if cute girls are reddit or not
>>284849654>porn addictYou make it too easy, not that I'm complaining. Kill yourself, retarded tourist.
>>284849731Anon, >>284849616 is the normalfag you need to be gatekeeping against.
>>284849697I don't have to convince you of anything, I linked the evidence of an obvious shift in site culture that was documented as happening at a specific time. 'Tranime' as a derogatory insult is demonstrative of a shift in site culture that resented anything older than itself and hated Japanese media in particular.
>>284849697No that's just a strawman you lug around to justify your own invasiveness. The simple truth is you're an insecure newfag with an agenda and the only thing you can do is cry and piss until others accept your lies. >>284849743It's a thread for shitposting by /vpol/ tourists. No one is genuinely upset Kyoani is signing onto this. The pretense of outrage over industry moves is an entirely tourist phenomenon that is used to create pressure to force outside agendas. It's complaining about normal things only with the goal of getting things changed. It's censorship, which is why all the whining about censorship is hypocritical. They just want to decide what can and can't be made.
>>284849759>being attracted to cute anime girls/a/>"respectfully" enjoying two anime girls (of the age of majority) love each other in a world where men don't existreddit
>>284849779Tranime never caught on because all the neonazi pedophile losers are too attached to their porn even though the stark truth is that anime and manga are overwhelmingly progressive in themes and messages, including positive representations of nonbinary figures long before American pop culture did so in children's cartoons.
>>284849779>I linked the evidence of an obvious shift in site cultureNo, you didn't. Using an insult to deride anime is not a shift in culture. Going to bat for censorship is.This >>284849616 is literally irrefutable evidence that there was no such thing as "2016 tourists," but there absolutely is such a thing as 2020 tourists, and they're still here today.
>>284849650The core values wherein saying something like 'tranime' became a popular broad anti-anime insult were obviously different to what came before.
>>284849803No, this thread is solely for telling reddit they need to fuck off and die. You are not welcome on /a/. The fact that you can sit here and think it's ever alright to support censorship on /a/ is revolting. Kill yourself.
>>284849803I'm pretty sure its because it is yet another slice of life anime based off of a manga or light novel that isn't even finished mixed in with kyo ani and how they're just trend chasers and lazy fucks.
>>284849868Holy fucking shit, calling something tranny isn't any different from calling something gay. Again, it's just a natural shift in insults for the times. Meanwhile, we have actual redditors supporting censorship in the very thread we're posting in, and you continue to ignore it.
>>284849882If you are against censorship, you should have no problem with discussion of left wing political commentary and themes in anime, right?
>>284849856>Tranime never caught onI wish
>>284849856Otacommie, always a pleasure to see your rambling posts
Does having a meoty feels good opr is exciting? Can't wait to have one...
>>284849916There's a difference between legitimate left wing themes in anime and projecting Western progressivism onto anime where it doesn't exist.
>>284849922I wish it did catch on. I wish a thousand trolls would shout "tranime" in the face of every loser who tries to claim anime is based and fashy. I think the terminal meltdown and the end of right wing nerd subculture would be painfully amusing. But the exact sort of people who have that malice to wield that name are the hopeless addicts who sacrifice all of their moral grandstanding for their fixes of fictional children.
This is coincidentally the exact same shit from that thread about Haruhi or Anno telling westerners to fuck off.
I'm OK with an anime showing commies being given free helicopter rides.
>>284849973Reminder to everyone that this is the same poster trying to convince you that 2016 tourists are real and 2020 tourists aren't.
>>284849959No, there is no difference. Japanese leftists have always been in contact with western leftists, circulating the same ideas and critiques. There are Japanese Marxists. This kind of nonsense you're saying is just a tourist's sad attempt to throw up an artificial barrier to protect your ego and ideology from the truth.
>>284849993Ruri Dragon does this? Wow
>>284850011No they haven't, you retard. Japan almost entirely missed the feminist/trans shit brain injury that has dominated the West for the last decade. And even legitimate Japanese progressives don't go to bat for censorship the way Westoids do.
>>284831192Warriors of Social Justice
What the fuck happened to this thread
>>284850053You're just making up bullshit that fits your narrative lol
>>284850053Japan invented tranime.
>>284850104Otacommie
>>284850104redditors started bringing up the>2016 election touristmyth, and /a/ responded by telling them to fuck off back to lebbit.
>>284850143You really have trouble finding a tactic that sticks
Who the fuck cares about that dead studio, /a/ is a trigger supporter
>>284850107The only legit tranny shit in anime and manga I can recall seeing is a oneshot by the Hope You're Happy Lemon author. And even her work wouldn't fly in the West, because she's too sympathetic to men and shows women being in the wrong (which isn't allowed in Western fiction).
>>284850104Retarded leftist spamming hating Narushit means /a/ should and does ackshually support censoring fanservice.
>>284850174Of course not, tourists from /vpol/ don't actually watch anime
>>284850166>come to 4chan in 2020>tell people censorship is good>tell people underage is bad>constantly told to fuck off and die>keep at it every day, thinking "today will finally be the day I convince them"just kill yourself already. You'd be doing yourself a favor, honestly.
>>284850201Oops, suddenly to have to add a qualifier when you talk about what censorship you don't like. Dance for me, hypocritical tourist.
>>284850174TSF exists.
>>284850239You're inventing a narrative that's never come up and proving that you came here from /v/ (by way of reddit). The implication of what you're saying is>Japan put out a progressive anime>"2016 election tourists" on /a/ blew their top and demanded it be censoredExcept that never happened. Ever. Not once. Japan has never put out a progressive anime remotely similar to the West. Like, never.
>>284850239Kill yourself, twittertard. What a surprise your kind copied tourist from "chuds" like anything else.
>>284850270Oh hey it's Gqux, the Gundam legacy show that features parallels to real world left wing protests and a refugee main character whose oppression by police drives the other main character into action
>>284846617>writing that doesn't obviously cater to teen boys.yeah instead catering to low iq amoeba
>>284850305That's my exact point by taking that word from you though. In every way, you are the tourists. You don't watch anime and read manga. You don't observe the old traditions of otaku subculture. None of you take the media and its artists seriously, you're just posers with agendas.
>>284850289Not in the Western way it doesn't. In Japan, you have>trapsboys who dress like girls, but identify as boys>gender transformationboys who legitimately get transformed into the body of girls. Neither of those has anything to do with your Western cancer.
>>284849910>>284849621Your mask is slipping, /pol/faggot
>>284850358>>284850270Notice how these are pictures of people with politicians instead of anime or manga?This is how you can instantly identify a tourist with an agenda. He is forced to cultivate implications because he can't actually refer to the media itself to make his point.
>>284850321Uh-huh. Now point out the feminism and trannyism.
>>284850397You haven't even been bothering with a mask this entire thread, reddit. That's why we keep telling you to fuck off back there and die.
>>284850305>>284850364"election tourist" predates "anime tourist"
>>284850374You don't know anything about japan and its history.
>>284850409Naw, I do that time after time for you tourists. How about you losers do this for me...point out the right wing message in an anime. Better yet, find me an anime that says I should dislike trans people. You get this bigotry from anime and not from outside political ideology, right?
I just came to say Kyoani never had good stories but it seems you're all arguing about politics.
>>284850444Drama QueenYou DO read anime and watch manga, right? You should know what that is then.
>>284850425Coincidentally, the election tourists are the anime tourists, but they're the ones who tried to use tourist offensively against actual otaku. That's why it's so sweetly ironic to be able to use (election) tourist once again to refer to them.
>retarded leftist faggot literally spams against getting off to anime or calls itself a real oldfag while screaming anything with minors should be censoredCan't make this up.
>>284850305>>284850358>chudThis is how election tourists think /a/ talks.
>plotfagsLOLAnime doesn't have good writing, period.The ONE thing anime does better than any other medium is cute girls.Based KyoAni knows what to focus on.
>>284850490>while screaming anything with minors should be censoredCould you point out the post?
>>284850444Trannies don't exist in anime. All the cute "transwomen" characters you identify with are just crossdressing boys who consider themselves boys.
>>284850490Kyoto Animation is pro censorship
>>284850511NTA, but yes: >>284849616
>>284850552Go ahead and quote the exact words that call for censorship, or kill yourself as a lying dog when you fail
>>284850511>>284849973 Kill yourself.
>>284850579Again, quote the words that call for censorship to happen or kill yourself as a lying dog
You will have another dragongirl animation and you will be happy
>>284850575>whining about censorship>the only thing you care about is losing access to infinite gooning material>/a/ was literally a pro-censorship board>Whining about reddit is just another one of those things you tourists bring here
>>284850600>You will have another dragongirl animation and you will be happyI would if it was anything but Ruri I usually love dragongirls but Ruri is such a narcissistic bitch, and reading her series is liking watching paint dry
>>284850498Other studios have done better cute girls.
>>284850633>>284850638OOOPS, LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN'T FIND WHERE I SAID THE THING YOU SAID I SAIDHypocritical tourist scum
>>284848907>There has never, in the history of the world, ever been anything called a 2016 tourist. You are a redditor. Kill yourself election tourist.
>>284850638You forgot "fixes of fictional children" which bitching about anons noticing what retarded faggotry is behind it.
no more Haruhi?
>>284850687Funny thing is they're probably still talking about memes the exact same way they did 10 years ago.
>>284850704You can't find where I actually say fanservice should be censored because you're just pulling it out of your ass. You have to go through all this performative bullshit because you're a tourist who doesn't actually belong here. Everything you post is just a game, totally disengenuous. That's why you can't honestly refer to anime and manga to make any of your points. You're an outsider with an agenda and nothing more.
>>284850687I don't go to reddit, faggot. I don't care what they say there. I care what you reddit fags say here on /a/. And this thread is the perfect example: you 2020 election tourists invaded us, started telling us censorship was good, started telling us underage was bad, and literally tried to get threads complaining about censorship banned. Fuck off back where you came from, cancer. You are not welcome here.
>>284850687>>284850739I'm now imagining the tourists in this thread as 50 year old white trash women whining about woke taking away their loli fanservice
>>284850743You will never be a real /a/non. Kill yourself, leftard.
>>284850792Because my politics are derived from exposure to too much anime, I will always be more real than any of you tourists from /vpol/. I actually watch the otaku media and draw influence from it, you're just posers.
>>284850743You've never fit in here. You've never been welcome here. Every post you've made has stood out like a sore thumb. You continue to ask yourself>H-how do they know! I-I'm anonymous here!Yet you've never once had a single engagement that wasn't telling you to fuck off back to lebbit and die there. Get it through your faggot skull already: you are not welcome on /a/. You never will be.
>>284850825>telling you to fuck off back to lebbitWhy would I care about what some trash from /v/ says? Your insults have no value here.
Is this just the same thing as the Half-Life 3 melty where a bunch of fucking people who can't let go all psyched themselves up in a mass delusion based on nothing at all and got upset that nothing happened
>>284850823Answer this>>284850464You said there are absolutely no rightist messages in any anime, Tell me what you thought about Drama Queen. Is the messaging leftist? Rightist?
>>284850853>accuse others of being from /v/>literally post about /v/-esque scenarios that don't happen on /a/, like anons wanting progressive anime censoredYou've shown yourself a tourist a thousand times over. You don't understand that there's no such thing as progressive anime. Again, anime has never been compromised the way Japanese video games have.
Remember when this thread was bout KyoAni?
>>284850776>2020 election touristThis is some grade A revisionist bullshit, go kill yourself election nigger.>I don't go to redditYes you were.
>>284850104f/a/ggots getting uppity when someone says they want to watch something that isnt a talk anime.
>>284850868It's far worse, basically just tourists faking outrage with the pretense of that sort of entitled hype because that gives them leverage to influence the community and industry as if they were real fans. >>284850877>>284850898>You don't understand that there's no such thing as progressive animeShameless lying from a tourist. Fortunately your gaslighting has no value among those who actually watch anime. Your pretense is limited to anonymous circlejerks from which you can't be gatekept.
Can we talk about how great it is that anime is socially conservative? Virtually all anime have the themes like>modern Japan is good>tradition is good>patriotism is goodLike, one of the best tropes is when someone from a Sengoku fantasy world gets transported to the modern era and marvels at all the convenience store food.
>>284850980Answer this fucking question >>284850464
>>284850877I haven't looked at it since I don't like getting involved with ongoing manga. All the tourists seem to meme about it being reactionary but I've never seen someone explain how. Maybe you can actually explain how the manga presents such a message using examples.
He did nothing wrong.
>>284850939>2016>/a/ didn't change>2020>/a/ invaded by pro-censorship redditors who hate loligo back tourist
Ban this lying retard already.
>>284851044>2016>/a/ didn't changeSo you don't even browse /a/
>>284850939Why do they never include dates in these bogus graphs
>>284851082It's an old image and 4stats being retarded please understand.
>>284851082>>284850939>>284850776I found a better one for your own enjoyment. Now you niggers can fuck off already.
>>284851253>i-if I use a no-no word t-they'll totally think I'm one of them . . .Fuck off back to lebbit and stay there, 2020 election tourist faggot. You will never be welcome here, because /a/ does not tolerate censorship.
It's funny how for right wing tourists, anime is entirely about lolicon
>>284851267Gosho Aoyama as well.
>>284831192Wall Street Jump
>>284829980Can't believe they decided to adapt this shit instead of my wife's story.
>>284851359Isn't it funny how you've never been able to invade anime the way you have video games? I mean, sure, you got some panty shots censored. But beyond that, there has never been a single anime with Western slop themes in them. Anime is insulated against your bullshit.
>>284851396Lazarus
>>284851396Again, the only thing you associate with anime is panty shots. You're a porn addicted tourist who just uses our hobby as a cheap fix without any real attachment to the medium outside the child porn that gets you off. Weird how all the right wing posers are also all pedophiles. >>284851415These tourists will even shittalk Cowboy Bebop because it doesn't meet their agenda's standards for how they define real anime.
>>284851502Cowboy Bebop IS shit, don't reply to me again you shrub.
>>284851336Hey /vpol/nigger i'm agreeing with you. But you're obviously an election tourist who doesn't browse /a/ and just want to start shit. If you did you'd know the culture shift was because the shonenfaggots. Stop with the /pol/ revisionist bullshit.
>>284851520Why would I have anything to say about things I don't care about? Again, you'll never be able to point out where I'm calling for censorship. You have to pretend that I do because in reality you're the tourist advancing a censorship agenda by complaining about how anime has always been.
>>284837090This looks like a CloverWorks project
>>284851607Miura certainly is.
>>284849094Lurk moar, newfag.
>>284831440this is what I think every time
>>284851607No, I mean you're actual pedophiles who latch onto anime as tourists because it happens to cater to your addiction. That's why you all treat lolicon and moe as if they're the only features of otaku subculture. You all go on shitposting on twitter, reddit, and /v/ about the crusade against censorship of fictional child tits because nothing else even registers in your mind as important.
>>284851359You can tell when someone has never seen how the average lolicon mangaka talks.
ruri dragon is boring as fuck, I had to drop it after a couple of chapters, and I usually like cgdct solhonesty, It's very in line with the other stuff animated by nu-kyoani, I think it's the perfect manga for them
>>284845009wako
>>284851777Good post.
>>284851765KyoAni has a good track record of improving source material with extra content which eventually reflects back on to the manga.Might actually go well this time too.
>>284851721I'm calling you pedophiles because lolicon is the only thing you care about in anime. Notice you still can't point out where I'm calling for censorship? It's still just bullshit pulled straight from your ass. You have to frame this entire thing as only being about lolicon and censorship because that's all your echo chamber cares about, and I don't. >>284851727The difference being that the mangaka actually makes something. There are also non-lolicon mangaka who talk the same way about whatever niche happens to be their interest.
>>284851502>loli>child porngo back>>284851549>you'd know the culture shift was because the shonenfaggotsIt's hilarious that you're posting a quote from moot to try to prove your point, when moot outright destroyed you tourists over a decade ago. There's a reason why>2010 newfagsare a thing. You are one.
>>284851837I'm never going to let you neonazi pedophile losers off the hook. You're tourists who bring your culture war derangement here because you're all addicts to fictional child porn. None of your moral grandstanding will never have any meaning because the entire world knows what kind of shit you parasites keep on your harddrives.
>>284851823It was more about how a good chunk of lolicon mangaka are inherently incompatible with the average western lolicon.
Anyone who complains about loli can be safely disregarded. This has been my rule for over a decade and hasn't failed me once.
>>284851614Except clover works actually made an anime that has story and a fight every episode and absolutely zero filler and it managed to be the best anime to come out in 10 fucking years.
This isn't complicated.>panty shots>underage fanservice>moe>traps>battle shounen>pro-Japan>portraying a fantasy race as irredeemably evil/a/>censorship>elimination of underage characters>elimination of heterosexual romance>tranny>the world is ugly and the people are sad>BOTH SIDESreddit
>>284851902>fictional child porn
>>284851995>portraying a fantasy race as irredeemably evilNot otaku
>Except clover works actually made an anime that has a fight every episode, ese. Chinga tu madre!
The worst part about gatekeeping tourists is that they never even try to use anime to make their points so you never get to talk about the media when you do it
>stopped pandering to otaku to pander to women with telenovelas-tier melodramas like veg and fujotrash like free>their most risque stuff nowadays is safe horny slop at best>one of their fujoshit shows makes some schizo go insane and burn down their studioPoetry, many talented people would still be alive if they kept on making stuff for the otaku audience instead of trying to attract undesirables.
>>284852267Because I looked at what they were holding and was reminded of an anime I like to talk about. Doesn't seeing that make you want to talk about Gundam?Tourists really don't like to talk about that franchise lol
>>284852033To put it bluntly the average lolicon in the west now is either a pure hedonist or are pretending to like it because the people they don't like hate it. Sure mangaka who only do it out of lust exist, but a good majority have always had a "become your art" approach to it and in general have always been more receptive of anything that gives them more variety. Punipoyo, tkmz and Watashiya Kaworu tend to reflect this the most, punipoyo in particular has done interviews on this before.
The undesirables are the ones who refuse to admit the vast majority of anime is basically just Hallmark channel movie tier material that is basically written by an AI upon receiving various tags and tropes as an input.
>>284852342If only someone had written about this and made a catchy term to refer to that kind of consumption
>>284845354Is a mix of big disappointment and the people that didn't like the series to begin with.
>>284829980They plagiarized my manga. In my manga there is a scene where a girl almost trips on the stairs and is saved by a quick moving boy. They stole they stole they stole they stole
Most of their senior talent literally burned to death what else are they supposed to do
>>284852452They stole my idea where a boy with no name and no distinguishing features because everyone hates him walks into his changing room to find a naked girl who screams and slaps him.They stole EVERYTHING from ME and you're all LAUGHING.
>>284829980Not sure why everyone is freaking out. KyoAni had their low points before. Their output from 2012-2016 are all 5/10s at best and Haruhi is their only good pre 2010 show.
Kyoani peaked with Komugi
>Their output from 2012-2016 are all 5/10s at best and Haruhi is their only good pre 2010 show.
Seperating mangaka based on american values is funny because mangaka are beings driven by lust and unrestrained creativity and therefore will be hated by both sides.
Ah, Kyoani... Ground zero in the American culture war.
>>284852665Talking about Gqux has very little to do with Anno, I was talking about an anime I like. Anno did very little for the series as far as we know, penning a prequel homage Char meme orgiastic feast that I suspect he also had some hand in storyboarding and/or directing due to how well it recreates period authenticity in a similar way to Anno's recent work in reviving tokusatsu franchises. Kind of like when he used Godzilla to shit all over the Japanese government as an ineffective bureaucracy protecting its honor instead of the people.
>>284852551No one should be freaking out because that shit is basically the same shit they've been producing for years.
>>284852797That's the point, this is all just pretend outrage from the same contrarian tourists as usual. They decry everything normal as the end because really they want things to change to suit their agenda.
KA Esuma Bunko deserves more love.Denmoku was a shit novel. There are better candidates for anime versions.
>>284852763If enjoying something was enough for people to get along, then most problems in the world would disappear. Approach to a fetish or a theme and how your mindset works because of it is enough for people to just disregard or even hate eachother, its a good thing that western fans don't know a lick of japanese and will live on in ignorance.
Yes, we DO self-insert as the loli here, newfag.
You're all too aggressive and too be little girls like me
>>284852221Otaku ARE the undesirables, moron.
>>284851837>when moot outright destroyed you tourists over a decade ago This is how i know your main board was /v/. Sorry that i insulted your precious shonen manga /v/ermin-kun.
>>284852221nobody cares about otaku virgins anymore, retard, anime is mainstream now
>>284852881Fiction is not obligated to follow your morality, reddit. Drawings aren't people.
>>284845009CITY was a masterpiece in so many ways. Far and away the most impressive production of 2025. It will be remembered and it will be loved for many years to come.
>>284845143It's baffling how this is even a controversy. Is this a disc*rd troll brigade or are people actually this dumb?
>>284853634More like a /vpol/-twitter-reddit troll brigade and they are that dumb
>>284853598Not as good as Nichijou.
CITY was better than Nichijou because it lacked Helvetica Standard.
>>284853354You're a 2010 newfag. You were not here in 2006. You were not here in 2007. You were not here in 2008. You were not here in 2009. Let me explain how things went, since you weren't here:Prior to 2010, all anime were spammed. Yes, the Big Three got it the worst, but basically any show was fair game. Hell, K-On! threads got spammed when the series first aired. And even of the Big Three, Naruto wasn't the one hit the hardest; One Piece was. One Piece had a dedicated spammer known as>the wikispammerwho would flood every One Piece thread with random text from Wikipedia. In 2009, moot tried to thread spam by adding a five minute image post cooldown, but of course it did nothing (as I said, people could spam with text just as easily as images).In 2010, we suddenly got a HUGE influx of reddit newfags, who saw the spam and assumed it was our board culture. They also assumed we were "battling" against Naruto, which was the only anime they knew. From around 2010 to 2013, thread spamming was mostly limited to Naruto and other mainstream seasonals, like SAO. Around 2013, we finally rounded up most of you newfaggots and had you killed. moot even outright turned the board into N/a/ruto for a few days, though that was more in response to some newfags trying to doxx one of the mods for supposedly liking Naruto or something.From about 2013 to 2019, /a/ was great again. Then, of course, we got a new influx of you redditfag newfags in 2020, who have been pushing for censorship ever since.
>>284853706you're old as fuck what are you still doing here
>>284837551>Unironically ruined the franchiseHate to break it to you, anon, but Violet Evergarbage was never good anime. I'm still confused as to why KyoAni forced this meme so much, and the only fans who defend that trashfire are the usual studio dickriders.I actually love Kyoto Animation as a studio. But it's frustrating to see them spending so much energy in unworthy projects.
>>284853753It's literally the only good show from kyoani
>>284853753What's bad about it?
>>284853689Dunno. Different anime with much different priorities. Maybe this is recency bias on my part, but I might actually like CITY better. In 2025, it felt like a miracle production and I'm very grateful that I had the pleasure of enjoying it alongside /a/. A very charming and pleasant show.
narutard melty
>>284853792I think that the obvious criticism is that KyoAni can't do action. Or at least couldn't before Maid Dragon. Also, it's this very meandering story about a gal that is very hard to empathise or even sympathise with because she doesn't feel human in any way, in the sense that the author clearly doesn't have the life experience to be writing about this supposedly hard hitting story about post-war trauma. So it's very pretentious in the literal sense, something that is completely fake and unnatural. A very, very disappointing anime, which is unfortunately a cherished KyoAni tradition of simply fucking wasting tippity top tier industry talent on baffling projects.
>>284853706You can tell they're newfags because they don't even remember GARuto.
>>284849328>>284849558When jannies stopped enforcing the rules against Naruto and other shounen was the point when a lot of spics and hood niggas started to pour in the board and changed the culture. It doesn't help that most of the original posters were reaching 30 at that point and not longer caring about the site.
>>284850104Shoneniggers butthurt because Ruri Dragon doesn't follow (yet) their mass-produced shit plot standards for the demographic (the same can be said to Akane-Banashi, which is simply about rhyme and poetry)and moefags being broken records about "KyoAni JUMPed the shark"
>>284853997The 2010 board culture you're referring to was not /a/'s true board culture. Peak /a/ was 2006 to 2009. /a/ didn't cheerlead spammers back then.
>>284853706This discussions about board culture are so droll. It doesn't really matter at all. And if you're going to make an argument about what /a/ is ideally supposed to be, then invariably stuff like bottom-of-the-barrel battle shonen needs to be considered foreign because the quality of discussion tends infinitely to zero. I am convinced that Dragon Ball threads are made out of spite and are populated by bots and the retarded. There is no defending this. Even battle shonen that I adore to a very obsessive degree like HxH is endlessly shitposted.Even if I wholeheartedly sympathise with your war against board history revisionism, it's a stupid war to wage just because you're ultimately defending some of the worst aspects of /a/. This is supposed to be a hobbyist board with a high level of discussion, not an online kindergarten for newfrens that are still munching on crayons.
>>284854064>>284853997Say what you want, but DBS threads are hilarious and have produced some of the best modern /a/ memes.>x-sama, I kneel!They're basically the ONLY ones who still occasionally produce OC around here.
>>284854061That changed started around late 2013 and paired with the SnK crowd it changed the demography of the board.>>284854095By pure sheer volume of post. It's like the metaphor of an army of monkeys using typewriters.
>>284854095>They're basically the ONLY ones who still occasionally produce OC around here.I've been saying this for a while out of half-hearted respect and more than a little concern. It is concerning. /dbs/ should not be what you think of when you hear "/a/ culture". How did you all let things get to this point? Is the rest of the board that moribund and out of touch?
>>284854095maybe at the beginning, the last time I looked at them there was just cuckspam
>>284854095I begrudgingly agree. But those memes were produced when the show was still airing. The DBS spam isn't as bad as it used to be, but there were instances where it was fucking insufferable. And to be clear, I'm not opposed to funposting, obviously any healthy board needs to have a good sense of humor. I just don't think that the vast majority of posts in battle shonen threads are complete trash and having these "people" feel welcomed on this board will inevitably have a contagion effect. Case in point: this very thread, which deals with a completely made-up controversy.
>>284854064Dargon ball threads are the closest thing to old 4chan on the board
>>284854187Aye, that is true, but only during the airing of the show, which was clearly a huge board event. Same can be said of Darling in the FranXX for very similar reasons.
>>284853199Too sober as well?
>>284853598>CITYshitty

Where can I donate gas to finish the job?
The 2016 election tourist really had a melty. lmao
>>284854152>Is the rest of the board that moribund and out of touch?/a/ always struggled to produce content that other boards found easy. For instance, we were one of the last boards to make a university collage, because we couldn't stop fighting over what should and shouldn't be allowed.
>>284854263I'm glad you asked. After you purchase the gas you intend to donate, just pour some over yourself and light it up. Then our volunteers will come around to pick up your donation.
>>284854288They get really unhinged when you point out anime isn't like their /pol/ memes and that none of their bigotry can be backed up with examples from anime while leftists can point to iconic franchise after iconic franchise with radically progressive themes.
>>284853706>Moot was a niggerfaggotWe know. And why you niggers trying to keep pushing "2020 tourist" for some dumb fucking reason.>>284854095I wouldn't mind, but when every post is just:>KEKKAROOOO>I KNEEL>MY FUARKING HEROit gets super annoying.
>>284854361>And why you niggers trying to keep pushing "2020 tourist" for some dumb fucking reason.He's desperate to make a narrative that erases the reality of election tourists
>>284854318Not sure if you actually think you're helping gatekeep with that nonsense of yours or if you're just trolling. Japanese media can hardly be analysed in Western-style Left/Right dichotomies. Anime can be fiercely conservative or fiercely progressive, it doesn't tend one particular way, but it needs to be properly understood through a Japanese lens.
>>284854395Are these "election tourists" in the room with us right now?
>>284854316I don't want to waste a single drop. Can I drink it instead?
>>284854433I mean, you could. But it will be much more difficult for you to then violently die screaming in a fire.
>>284851902Kill yourself, retarded tourist.
>>284854396No, all that talk of some kind of special Japanese lens is the real nonsense. The Japanese far left spawned revolutionaries who joined up with Palestinian freedom fighters; this notion that Japan is some kind of isolated exotic place with a unique position in the world unrelated to the postwar global culture is silly. Especially since we're talking about a country that has had its literary scene completely dominated by European trends since before anime and manga even existed. We're talking about media where half the tropes are ripped from American cinema. If you want to actually point out something fiercely conservative in anime, go right ahead lol
>>284854467I'm not going to entertain this discussion because I suspect that you're not here in good faith and, unlike you, I'm not one to make a very shitty thread even shittier.
>>284854504What you actually mean is that you have no examples to back the retarded bullshit you said.
>>284854467The sad part is a lot of what you're saying has truth to it, but you're an insufferable ideologue who goes around accusing other people of being insufferable ideologues. Get a fucking grip.

>>284854396It was very obvious.
Can someone explain how it's possible for a studio that creates things for the sake monetary gain can be a sellout
>>284854532Prove me wrong by citing anime or fuck off. I am an otaku ideologue in a sea of posers. See how none of them can even discuss a single instance of where an anime supports what they're talking about >>284854547I'm only insufferable to those who don't watch anime and yet make claims about it and pretend to be fans. Since everything I say is true, no otaku will have any problems with what I say.
>>284854396Japanese media can easily be analyzed in left-right dichotomies. The literary scene has been traditionally left-wing but also buttmad that some of its most famous international successes like Mishima are very much right-wing. Political thinkers like Kita were also very much operating in the same intellectual currents as their European counterparts (not to mention the administration of Manchukuo being run by marxists).Other guy is a retarded faggot but this is irrelevant to what you're claiming here.
>>284854539I cry a lot watching anime, I genuinely think it's a positive sign that you're watching great anime. But I think you need to be very retarded to be moved by something like Violent Evertrash. It just isn't good anime.
>>284854572Anime has never been progressive, and it never will. Fuck off back to /r/eddit and stay there.
>>284851902Your the tourists.
>>284854581Why are you still trolling? People like you make me wish this board had IDs so I could just filter you out.
>>284854547>idealization of modern livingThe idealization of modern life is conservative to you?
>>284850104Can we go back to Haruhi versus Ruri Dragon wars?
>>284851982This spam only further proves leftards are the enemy of anime itself. There is no room for anti loli faggots under any context.
I think this is the same troll I saw a while ago claiming anime is a gay paradise because of Fairy Tail. Just an absurd person in general.
>>284854582I don't think anyone's actually mad about Mishima; The Sailor is a wildly antifascist novel that depicts fascist ideology as the childish death cult that it is in humiliating detail, right down to the weak, easily peer pressured boy being a pervert to boot. Plus the whole self-insert Hitler yaoi fanfiction suicide fetishism thing. >>284854615The tourist shitposters just say things they have been trained to say in their echo chambers where these things are fabled to be offensive such that they have magical power when deployed against leftists...except no one outside those echo chamber actually cares so they just babble these words without context or consistency.
>>284854615So, it's a subtle distinction, but important:Progressives believe>Modern ways of thinking are great.>Modern society is a capitalist, fascists, patriarchal, white supremacist nightmare that needs to be torn down in a revolution.Conservatives believe>Modern ways of thinking are awful.>Modern society is a triumph of ingenuity and peace.
>>284854662Mishima was very much a right-wing thinker and the left-wing literary scene in Japan hated him for it. To claim otherwise is to be purposefully ignorant of almost everything he wrote about himself and what he believed.
Reminder that K-On was trash until KyoAni made it the second best cgdct of all timeKyoAni finds a way
>board IDsOkay, the skinwalkers have revealed themselves.
>>284854662Completely incoherent post. But I suppose that shitposts like these are what shit threads deserve, so keep going.
>>284854720>second bestYour post is only correct if #1 is Non Non Biyori.
>>284854739Oh rightThird best
>>284851502While some casual panchira can be nice, anime is primarily about the stories, characters, animation, music, etc K-On would not have been a better show with panchira. There (was) always doujinshi if you wanted that.
>>284854748So what's the other one?
>>284854665So how do you classify otaku media where modern Japan is depicted as a capitalist nightmare land where parents are erased from the lives of children by the insane demands of corporate careers? What do you think of series like Meikyuu Black Company that stand in a long tradition of biting satire about exploitative business practices? Then there's the dozen or so example of pyramid scheme/reselling cult side stories like in Tatami Galaxy and NHK. NGE even takes a stab at the patriarchal elements in Japan's business culture in episode seven. >>284854737What about strike witches? Come on, you actually have to develop an argument here. You can't just name a series.
>>284854652This shit can't be more than a few weeks old at best. I lurk basically any kind of threads and have never seen it.
>>284854772It's Azumanga Daioh, the peak
>>284854771Jin-Roh is really interesting to me in the sense that while Oshii intended to make a work about his own reconciliation with Japan's post-war government (having taken part in the Anpo protests) he winds up writing a Spenglerian story of the conflict between the Rule of Money and the Aristocracy of Blood.
>>284854720I'd say that K-On has been completely dethroned by several anime, and that the classic CGDCT has been thoroughly superseded by more evolved formulas. But it should still be cherished by the revolutionary production that it was.
>>284854795I had a feeling that'd be it.I don't agree, and Osaka is my waifu. I think it has some very real comedic timing issues as an adaptation. I love it. I absolutely love it. I'd rank ARIA and Hidamari Sketch over it.
>>284854737Also GATE is a very obvious one, now that I think about it. Or even stuff you wouldn't necessarily think of like Shinsekai Yori.
>>284854787All the way back in May according the archive. In a Kowloon hermaphrodite thread, because of course it was. https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/278831397
>>284854815K-ON is absolutely the gold standard for pure CGDCT. It has not been dethroned as such.The only CGDCTs I would rank higher are iyashikei and not pure CGDCT, but for pure CGDCT K-ON is the gold standard and it's not particularly close.Mention the acronym CGDCT to any knowledgeable anime fan and the first anime that will come to their mind will probably be K-ON.
Holy shit, why is this LARPing cancer still not banned. Wake up already. Close to fucking 500.
>>284854785>So how do you classify otaku media where modern Japan is depicted as a capitalist nightmare land where parents are erased from the lives of children by the insane demands of corporate careers?I'd argue that that's ten times more common in Korean fiction than Japanese fiction. Usually, anime and manga go out of their way to defend fathers who work all the time, presenting their jobs as super important and necessary.>NGE even takes a stab at the patriarchal elements in Japan's business culture in episode seven.And we all saw how that ended.
>>284854787>This shit can't be more than a few weeks old at best.I first remember seeing him in the middle of this year, but I took a look at a few threads before that and...this guy is wild.
>>284854883Wow it's wild how you can say all that stuff...but you can't talk about the work itself at all. I mentioned things that happen in the episodes and you go off on some irrelevant tangent.
>>284854870I mean, I can't possibly disagree with the fact that K-On is and always will be ubiquitous. I just think that the industry hasn't remained static.What are your thoughts on Bocchi the Rock, for example? It's probably mildly controversial on my part to bring it up, since you can argue it isn't a true CGDCT.
>>284854926Could you perhaps talk about some kind of anime Anno has made to make your point?
>>284854939Why are the former Axis powers, Germany and Japan, the dominant world powers in Evangelion?
>>284854923I WOULD call BtR a pure CGDCT and I would call it the runner up to K-ON as the gold standard as well as a top 5 CGDCT.Objectively super-high quality production and crazy creative production as well.Honestly, the only top-tier CGDCT we have had since NNB in 2013.
>>284854955Japan was the dominant power in Asia at the time and Germany is still the dominant power of Europe.
>>284854895This reads like an LLM.
>>284854939All of them?>Nadia>Nadia is a complete bitch who needs to be saved by Jean all the time>she still gets sexualized and sexually harassed, because brown girls are hot though>Eva>Rei and Asuka are sexualized times 100>all the female characters are endlessly sexualized>all the female characters' actions revolve around men
>>284830528Shitty was fucking god awful and almost everything they've done since amaburi but the chuu2 movie and maid dragon is trash
>>284854983Anyone who says something halfway erudite and/or off-the-walls is called an LLM nowadays.
Notice this retarded faggot can't reply to any tweet about the industry protecting loli.
>*postI need to sleep.
>>284855015>>284855031Freudian slip.
>>284854960You aren't talking about the artist's views though, you're just making implications based on association. You can't cite an example from his work that supports your claims, mostly because you don't even watch anime in the first place. You're just a tourist from /vpol/ with an agenda.>>284854990You're just saying random nonsense with no deeper meaning. Rei's entire characterization is about escaping her patriarchal captor and developing a sense of self-worth apart from his valuation of her as a doll. Coincidentally, the doll motif is prevalent in Asuka's characterization as well which depicts how her childhood trauma has led to dysfunctions like hypersexualization. This is compounded with one of the most brutal and raw depictions of rape in the medium which is not a positive portrayal in the slightest. NGE is a heavily feminist work which examines flawed characters in an imperfect world very much reflective of Japan at the time. It's even a big daddy issues struggle session for Anno. Do you think fathers and authorities are portrayed positively in NGE?
>>284855015>>284855031You have to go ack.
>>284854966I'm very glad to hear that you're positive on Bocchi the Rock. I brought it up because some claim it not to be pure CGDCT since there are higher stakes that clearly drive the plot. I don't necessarily agree with this take personally, but I would definitely agree that, as I said, neither the industry nor the genre has remained stagnant, Bocchi the Rock being a rather appropriate example of this.>Honestly, the only top-tier CGDCT we have had since NNB in 2013.Come on now, anon, you need to give the other Bocchi some love too. It was a relatively low budget production that was carried by sheer heart. The only real thing against it is the fact that it as never meant as anything more than advertisement for the manga, and that never in a million years will we see them adapt the full story.
>>284855015These tourists spend all day shitposting on twitter and reddit with this exact same culture war nonsense lol
>>284855053I don't even argue with retards on twitter, just block and RT artists.
Lelouch is a leftist emperor?
>>284855069If Eva is really that feminist and progressive, then surely it could be made in modern America, right? Progressives would totally support it if it first aired today, right?
>>284854971You really don't know anything.
Why did the falling out with Kadokawa happen? To be fair, those fuckers were already doing some shady shit since the 90's so they deserve the hate. Also holy shit the tourists are such fucking idiots.
>>284855092Reinhard is a bright red freedom fighter.
>>284855081I love the other Bocchi and have not forgotten her, and think it is very zannen that it is not as popular as it should be.I would not call it top-tier.>It was a relatively low budget production that was carried by sheer heartThere have been quite a few of these. I can't call any of them top-tier.
>>284855097No, it is too feminist and progressive for Trump's America.
>>284855121Fair enough. That is an understandable position.
>>284855095This image is illegal in Texas.
>>284855158Anno bought a blu-ray of Strike Witches and told its director that he liked it when said director visited him and Tsurumaki for advice.That same director was someone who started his career at Gainax. It was a show of support to his junior.
BtR will never be the gold standard until the pink bitch learns how to start a sentence without saying "ah"
>>284855181Good thing retards like you have no valid opinion.
Where are the fucking mods?
>>284855158>very important when the associate in question is hated by twifemis and bitched about by woke japanese users all the fucking timeNone of those people matter. None of that has anything to do with anime and manga. You're a tourist who only knows social media drama and you don't even watch anime.See how you have to make up random criteria for why it can't be feminist because you have nothing to say about the content itself? How is Rei not a feminist character all about individuation and empowerment?
>>284855217Again, you're talking about anything but anime
Mods, can you regex "tourist" for something else desu? I'm tired of this Tw*tter meme contaminating my board.
Yeah, you are a bunch of idiots who deserve to die in a fire. There's no cure for stupidity, only death.
>>284855241And yet those characters are indeed constructed as feminist, as I already explained through their development in the story. That's what I mean by you making up random criteria. You can't talk about what happens in the anime to these characters and what it means. It seems like you only know them from collecting NSFW pictures to fap to. >>284855259But you're breaking the rules with that post, why would the mods care about what a tourist like you begs for?
How does /a/ do it?
>>284855303You don't belong here and have no authority.
>>284855318>he says as a /vpol/ tourist crying for moderation to favor him
>>284855241I love it and you call me a leftist.
>>284855336That's fine, but the overwhelming majority of Western progressives, bordering on 100%, are not OK with it.
>>284830019current chapters are more slop than fucking Spy x Family
Have you guys forgotten that Kyoani's formula is finding some shitty manga and completely rewriting it?
>>284855267Fun interview, I don't think I've read this one before, and I usually hunt for them. Anno has some pretty wild ones, but the most insane interviews are probably Tomino's, that guy gives zero fucks.
>>284855336They will waffle between saying every leftist is a pedophile and every leftist is trying to censor kiddie porn as long as it suits their bullshitting
>>284846617>writing that doesn't obviously cater to teen boys.What the fuck are you blabbering about, ruri dragon straight up mocks the teen boys in the audience for wanting more dragon stuff
>>284855358>it undermines everything about NGE being this feminist piece of workBut it doesn't, you just have to make up that criteria because you can't point to any examples in the show itself. Since the characters are so obviously constructed as part of feminist discourse and even directly deal with sexism among otaku, you have to talk about anything but the anime and invent whatever criteria allows you to dismiss the actual themes and messages in the show.Plus you haven't even watched it
>>284836860It's slop, yes, it's not a particularly interesting read. But KyoAni has in the past substantially elevated the source material that they were adapting. And right now I have no reason to assume it won't be the case for Ruri.
I take a break when i'm fed up with Anonymous and i'm much happier to post once i'm back after taking a break from anonymous posting.
The internet is dead
>>2848554022 weeks break.
>>284855259Invader? Fags really hated getting accused of being outsiders, that's why tourist is so widespread along with fuck tons of pop culture to choose. Only reason I use it is I got lazy spelling out everything cancer about posts and particular shitposters nowadays aren't some harmlessly ignorant newcomer.
Newfag here, why is everyone malding
Mahouka is one of my favorite anime that exemplifies anime conservatism. In addition to patriotism, it heavily idealizes upper class mannerisms and lifestyle.
>>284855297...is what Shinji Aoba said on the morning of July 18, 2019.
>>284855428Putting aside the lone otacommie, there were a number of other anons pushing the false>2016 election tourist memebecause they're still mad about Naruto winning.
>>284855434No, that scene is about how the total destruction of all human support systems leads to being trapped in really dark places where physical gratification is one of the last release valves.
>>284855383I was saying earlier that Western Left/Right dichotomies hardly apply to Japan. Tomino is a great example of this, since he's very military minded and at the same time has this very boomer and very idealistic New Age spirituality. But he never ignores the cruel reality of war and governance. And characters like Gigi are delightfully and unapologetically chauvinistic to an insane degree. Tomino is a pretty great example how Japan doesn't neatly conform to our Western understanding of political spectrums.
>>284855428Ruri Dragon met Ken Akamatsu, BTFOing the wokies
>>284855434I thought it was shota ecchi. I do the fucked up challenge and try to wank faster than Shinji, like ready steady go once Asuka's nipples appear but man the boy's quick.
>>284855465Narushit did every kind of damage to /a/ now long gone anons said it would. That doesn't even include every mod sacrificed to force shipping generals. Fuck off.
>>284855481Tomino is communist and forced his male leads to fight to the death over Indian jailbait.
Why are you still arguing instead of just reporting or dumping porn?
>>284855574What anime is that from?
And finally this shit thread can die.
>>284855572Be the change you want to see in the world.
>>284855582Naruto
>>284855595Without this retarded literal anti loli, communist faggot getting rightfully banned.
>>284855601Why the fuck did you stop bombing threads to begin with?
>>284855610So, not anime?
>>284855617>anti loliGo ahead and point out where I'm anti-loliIn fact, someone posted a screencap from a thread in which I'm pretty sure I also endorse a spiritualist stance on loli as idol worship comparable to ancient Hellenistic tradition
Another grim reminder no matter how bad biblethumpers are, feminist faggots claiming to be the real fans will always be much worse.
Sieg Kaiser Reinhard o/
>>284855659Join the 41. >>284851902
>>284855617I care less that he's anti-loli than I care about the fact that he's a supremely uninteresting and disruptive shitposter who probably doesn't even believe half the inanities he posts.
>>284855676How am I not the real fan when I can talk about anime and all the posers have to rant about what someone said in an interview or who artists have taken pictures with. They can never, ever just straight up talk about what's in anime. Yet that's all I do. >>284855704Go ahead and quote the exact words. Nice /pol/ meme btw.>>284855712I care about anime. Surely if you care about Tomino's anime you can make your point by explaining how he's used his work to denounce communism.
One spammer not getting deleted is enough to destroy any thread.
>>284855729How can I be uninteresting when I'm the only one who watches anime and can talk about its contents? How can I be disruptive when I'm the only one talking about anime? What would even make you think I don't believe what I post? It's not like I change what I say randomly to weasel my way around having no evidence from anime to cite like the tourists. >>284855751I didn't claim he's a communist, I'm just interested in how you'd make the argument that he isn't one based on citing something from his anime.
Dragon Ball adaptation by Kyoani soon
>>284855659Nice try. I'm the guy who posted that screenshot and after looking through that thread it seems the guy going on about the muses and loli vampires was someone entirely separate (my bad), and he also called you a retard. Very very underhanded of you to try and pass yourself off as him though
>>284855781>I didn't claim he's a communist, I'm just interested in how you'd make the argument that he isn't one when I move the goalposts to exclude his explicit statement about themYou are slime.
>>284855781You need to fuck off forever and stay fucked off.
>>284855803Even you recognize that's just culture war bullshit though, that's why you used scare quotes to denote your ironic usage of those terms. You call random things like fanservice misogynistic so you can ignore when artists make characters whose entire development is about anti-misogynistic messaging. It's laughable. That's why you never break down individual scenes or explain consistent images or any sort of analytical work. It's just surface level nonsense you say because you've been trained to say it in your echo chamber. Since I'm a real person I don't care about silly things like male gaze.
>>284855826Because this is /a/, you're not talking about anime. You're a tourist with an agenda so you collect quotes from artists whose works you've never even watched just so you can make shitposts about them.
>>284830019>first shitty>now rurithey never recovered after the fire
>>284855840You need to watch a single anime and talk about it, maybe then an otaku like me will respect your opinion in the slightest
>>284855893No, work is just another scapegoat for disingenuous slime like you to twist to suit whatever you want as you pretend to fit in. That's why you have to talk about "woke compatriots" and what they believe instead of talking about anime. You have to make up people to be offended because you don't watch it and you can't talk about it.
>>284855916Stop lying, you can't even make a single reference to a single anime to back up anything you say. You're nothing but a total poser that doesn't watch anime. You have to pretend you do because it's part of your culture war derangement, but you can't even make a single point about a Tomino anime that would support an anti-communist interpretation of his work. That's why you can only rely on something external that you can wave around as an excuse for not talking about anime.
What cumtown discord did you leak out of?
>>284855979What anime is that from, sounds like a weird villain organization
>>284855996No one will ever believe you're from this site, let alone board. Kill yourself.
>>284856079Fortunately since you're all tourists you're well aware of how new you are and since I've been here since 2005 I don't really have to care about pretending to fit in
>>284855367It's literally being published in a fucking shounen magazine meaning the target audience is teen boys, and it shows you shit eating manchild. Even the girl is fucking shounen-ugly.
A communication breakdown could mean only one thing: Autism.
>>284856741The girls are also ugly as sin, and the guys are fucking bishounen gay trash.
>>284856894If Haruhi adapts to modern sensibilities, Yuki will also grow up considerably. Flat girls are relics of past and modern anime is anti lolicon in large part thanks to KyoAni.
