Did mainstream popularity ruin Anime?idk my dudes, but it feels like the general vibes and outlook of the anime / manga community was so much better 15 - 20 years ago when it was a niche hobby that only involved you and your peers.

No you're just gay
>>288021630Sadly yes. But also, culture just got worse in general.On the other hand it's not like it's completely ruined.
Yep, the entire world was just better when I was a stupid kid *sip*
>>288021630Not by much
>>288021630I don't really engage with this newer culture since I don't use other social media, play gacha or watch vtubers Instead I just continue to watch the shows I like
I'm only seeing normalfag opinions on anime when one of you retards posts about it.
>>288021630>15 - 20 years agohow would you know when you weren't alive back then?
Kids running around with Naruto headbands 20 years ago is no different than kids today talking about how much aura Sung jinwoo has

>>288021630you should always gatekeepalways
>>288022391Yeah but the kids with naruto headbands felt more genuine than tiktok zoomers making solo levelling edits
>>288021720this
>>288021630yes they just appeal to the lowest common denominatortheres a lot less experimenting, and anime that are interesting end up buried because theres a ton of garbage with larger marketing budgets
