Did you survive the war of winter 2018?
>>287987883I survived, with all my friends
>>287987883Yeah I was hanging out in toji no miko threads. Avoided all of the shitflinging that season.
The casualties were catastrophic
>>287987883I somehow remember how obnoxious the thread was for VEG months before the show actually started, filled with falseflaggers and sakuga cartel cocksuckers.
>>287987883The VEGfag was by far one of the worst posters this board has seen. Seeing somebody samefag in a thread of 21h straight is something else.
>>287988162Heh, silly strawberry.
>Franxx fatty episode was the last time the board got fully floodedIt's quite surprising since I at least thought SnK climax or Goku vs Jiren could replicate that.
There was a war, over these? VAG is good but it's no Frieren, not worth coming back to airing anime for, not with KyoAnus' track record of high production mediocrity, and the others have to have only stood out because anime had been so dire for so long
>>287988162I hope something comes along that unites the entire board like this again. Unlikely though considering everyone's secluded into their corner of pseudo-totally not generals these days
>>287987883sorayori was very comfy
>>287987883I did. Yuru Camp > Sora Yori = VEG > DiTF
>>287988162literally did nothing wrong
>>287988482Uguuu
You would actually get banned during this time for impersonating that one namefag Michlan that likes Ichigo from Franxx
>>287988298>you now remember almost 100 hundred posts getting deleted from a VEG thread
>>287988298I remember he was around for a couple years after in pretty much any thread that was even slightly positive about how any other show looked.
>>287987883>>287988162imagine if nigshitgori wasn't a fucking hack and would have made an actual good ending that followed literally any plot point in the show instead of pissing out aliens for the last 4 episodes and trying to pretend a fucking gunbuster pose will fix it.
All hell broke loose for the VEGfag when VEG dropped that Naruto run episode.
As amusing as these anecdotes are, seriously, what was your excuse for still being here? Anime hadn't been good since Charlotte went Days of Future Past
>>287988916I only come here anymore for a single series' threads and it been that way for about 4 years now. But because that weekly thread just died at sub 500 posts I opened the catalog and say this thread.
>>287988916Onimai was only 3 years ago
>>287988373I blame the mods for being so traumatized by the Shingeki-Eva shitstorm that they've given up on culling all the pseudogenerals
>>287988916Kamiina Botan is airing
>>287988040Came here to post this. I'm glad my friends are still doing well!
>>287989000>>287989054>>287989092>have trouble with tense>have taste this badI would tell you to watch something specific from this season but this season sucks so rewatch Clevatess
>>287988916there's good anime every season, you probably just don't like anime
>>287989252I phonepost, I don't proofread my posts and autocorrect is useless in current year compared to a few years ago so forgive my ESL-adjacent shitposts. The only things I'm watching this season are Witch Hat and Yomi no Tsugai. But I'm not going to those threads because of spoilers.
>>287989252You may not like the story of Botan but it has been a while since we got an adaptation that actually elevated the source material to a higher degree with strong directorial talent.
>>287989362isn't that what Shiboyugi did only to give people a new reason to hate it?
>>287988373God this shit was so funny. Very vindicating as a Shaftfag at the time.
Sad fact . I wasn’t a weeb in 2018
>>287989419We loved Carl's anime though
>>287990829is giving the main character of a terrible show a funny private name all it takes to make /a/ like it? What if I started calling Chizuru General Butt Naked?
VEG was great but the movie ruined it. It changed the show from a identity discovery with subtle development and an open ending to a basic romance story with poor development and pacing. What a stupid way to ruin a franchise
WEG certainly didn't.
DAHLING was kino
VEG was only fellated because of Kyoani.Nobody gives a fuck about Hinagiku's anime, made by the same author, which is just as melodramatic.
>>287992074I don't know where she heard the criticism that the premise was too straightforward and easy to follow and the setting was too familiar and realistic and the back story was not convoluted enough and the protagonist was too articulate and believable as a combat veteran, but every difference between VEG and HNGK is for the worse
>>287987883I refuse to believe that utter soap slop with another saber clone outshadowed Darling in the FranXX with honey and 02.I do remember, I will remember miraculous story of purest love one could ever see!
>>287987883Franxx spam everyfuckingwhere was infuriating
>>287987883there was a war? wasn't that when bleach died?
I really don't understand what people see in Yuru Camp. Yama no Susume is like a better version of what it's trying to be despite not being entirely focused on camping. Though it's not like Yuru Camp didn't turn into being more of a general tourist series too.
>>287996711The first season of Yuru Camp was very comfy but also had a massive amount of draw to it that kept me hooked but I felt it has lacked since then. I struggled to finish season 2 and just gave up on it after that.I think it had to do with wanting to see Nadeshiko grow a bit as a person as well as seeing her whittle away at Rin's outer shell. Then after those things happened the comfy antics by themselves weren't as compelling.The comfy show I thought was way better that aired at the same time was Hakumei & Mikochi.
>>287996711Yama no Susume felt more like learning about how to get into an activity. Yuru Camp felt more like you're just tagging along with someone already experienced so you get into the "fun" part immediately. So I got different vibes from them.
>>287987883I didn't watch any of those, I picked up Killing Bites and Pop Team Epic instead.
Being a strawberryfag made for some amazing shitposting.
>>287987883I never bothered with VEG or trigger shit.The girls where alright,
>>287988916Anime is still good.
>>287989362>it has been a while since we got an adaptation that actually elevated the source material to a higher degree with strong directorial talent.Kamen Rider last season.
VEG gained in popularity over time, well after its release.Conversely, YoriMoi's popularity absolutely tanked almost immediately after its release.Is there a term for the phenomenon of a show's popularity absolutely tanking almost immediately after release?Maybe a catchy two-word phrase?
>>287996711First season was a fun SoL themed around camping.Second season onwards was garbage.
>VEG gained in popularity over time, well after its releaseRewriting history, I see.
>>287999947>Rewriting history, I see.Rewriting history, I see.Now about that catchy two-word phrase...
>>287999947I mean I gave it a try in like 2023 and liked it well enough, but the main airing anime was something about an older brother who took a pill to become a girl so I decided to not come back to seasonal anime for another couple years
>>288000047Onimai is actually an objectively excellent anime, though.
>>287988916I still hold on to hope
