What used to be popular but is now aged and cringe-y? Would it still be popular today if it was fresh?
>>288087793Boku no Pico and it would still be popular today. Only difference would be people fapping to it and not telling anybody instead of telling everyone and pretending they only watched it as a joke.
>>288088561Is there a reason you post this in every thread? It could be just me but I never really found it shocking or distasteful enough to be a shock value hentai. I could never understand how it became a meme here.
>>288087793Kuroshitsuji
>>288087793Free!
>>288088599I think i have only ever posted this once before but I don't disagree with you. It was a meme everywhere years ago even on tumblr and it never made sense.
>>288088739Oh sorry. I mistook you for that one guy who posts it on any thread in the last few months.
>>288087793Hetalia had a lull and was considered to be cringe until recently it seems. Or at least it's now less cringy. It's resurgence is nice to see. I even took my old Italy brothers wall scroll out of the closet and hung it up again.>>288088631Makoto's show could never be cringe.
All according to keikaku
>>288089231you hid the poster but did not throw it away? were you expecting hetelia to stop being cringe or what?
Couple days left for the yaribu vol7 art poll. Praying the virgins don't win.https://x.com/i/status/2053038153729286553
>>288089500These two are essentially canon at this point
>>288089064>last few monthsI'll have you know I've been recommending Boku no Pico for the past 12 years
Post maid day fanart thank you
>>288089231hetalia had always been somewhat popular still in asia especially china, but i'm surprised it's also having a resurgence in the west. though for some reason some parts of the western fandom is filled with puritans now. they'll crucify you if you so much as ship 'problematic' ships like UsUk. imagine moralfagging hetalia. well at least nobody's shipping PruCan anymore
do most anons here prefer the left one or the right one more. >left (type of design usually marketed towards fujos). angular jawline, muscly but still lean, longer hair, and softer facial features. >right (type of design usually mareketed towards gay men/bara artstyle). rounder jawline, very big and muscly, usually have shorter hair sometimes almost fully shaved, and rougher facial features)
>>288090737Preferred right for the longest time but started to prefer left about 2 years ago
>>288090737For me it's left by a long shot, arguably even a little further left than that. Slender but toned > muscley but lean; it's the Goldilocks bishounen zone between shota and bara imo. I respect right, but it's never been for me. I like some borderline cases in either direction if they're handled well though, like Ciel on the S side or Xylo (if he even counts) on the B side.
Soleum's comic got confirmed. Prepare for fan design shifts.>>288090737Anon, they clearly come as a set.
>>288091469What is Soleum?
>>288090737Left, but I'd prefer even thinner. And the thing I like least about right is the hair. Big muscley dudes can be hot, but super short hair never is. Even bald can sometimes look better.

>>288091469ehh webtoon? Hope the artist doesn't half ass it so it's properly spooky. I still need to catch up and read part 2 since I haven't read it since november
Recommend me some doomed yaoi
>>288090737Literally a why not both type of post.
>>288091469>they clearly come as a set.gives me an idea for a bl where one character is based on yaoi stereotypes, from the looks and personality, while the other has bara stereotypes with the twist being the bara looking one as the bottom. >>288092977there is no narrative. there's a clear distinction in bara artstyle vs yaoi artstyle and the difference is immediately recognizable. i just thought those two in the picture kind of embodies those distinctions
I miss long haired pretty bishounen. They're dead in modern anime.
Unicorn of a Cosmo fanart.
>>288093613There are way fewer hot men in anime now.
>>288087793Weiss Kreuz was always cringy but at least it was popular. Sadly I don't think it would be able to survive the 5 billion anime a season market.
Boyfriends
>>288095479You are the only reason I know when there is a new chapter. Thank you.
>>288093374that's not a twist that's just expected now.
>>288093718Another reason why anime sucks for homo now
>>288095885you guys are so bitter about nothing (as always)
>>288087793The only right answer
Which one do you prefer?>good guy saves/heals a bad guy>bad guy corrupts a good guy
>>288096039This has aged nicely though?
>>288096039and fuck Kurata
>>288096131There aren'ty nearly enough corruption ones, and I mean full on corruption ones.
>>288096137>aged nicelywith Kurata statement making them straight?
>>288096186Nobody cares.
>>288096186The show is still incredibly fun and you're still free to ship them
Post your husbando wearing bunny suits
>>288092699every japanese fandom is obsessed with that shit
>>288092699As if they weren't canon enough
>>288090626
>>288096131being corrupted is the only right answer
>>288096131>bad guy corrupts a good guyThis, but not sexually. That's a total turnoff.
>>288095936You don't want to admit facts
>>288096156Well, I include works where a bad guy perverts a good boy and turns him into a cock addict.>>288096186That kind of knee-jerk reaction tells me that either he is insecure and was afraid of being perceived as gay or that he accidentally outed himself. >>288096290
>>288091469I hope he keeps the red and black eyes, they looked neat.Also does anybody know who is the first, second, and last on the bottom row?
The Julius heroine episode aired, its too bad they cut out the part where Reid called them boyfriends but it was still pretty okay.
Cute husbands.
>>288097291
>>288091469Do they come as a set or do they come together?
>>288091469All these mcs look the same except for three. Too many bland looking mcs nowadays.
>>288090244Yoji is engaging in advanced brat correction (grooming him to become his perfect husband through strategic mindbreaking)
Whats the Muv Luv of homo?
Togame wins the Sakura bowl
What happened to Trigun? Feels like it got big homo going on in S1 and then the new seasons it's like they never happened.
>>288088631I mean utsumi shit is still popular, free threads and parody were fun atleast.
>>288092336Soleum is the protagonist of "Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work", a webnovel about a guy who gets transported into essentially SCP wiki, and ends up in a complicated relationship with an objecthead, a lizard, maybe a werewolf, and a few armed nutcases. You might recognise him by the pink bunny in his pocket.>>288093025It'll probably get softened in dialogue scenes. Most webtoon are guilty of making things too round and clean, which might work for the mascots, but I'm hoping they'll take advantage of scrolling scares to pull off a few neat panels.>>288096131Assuming the cop is the good guy, based on his expression, I want him to always be several steps ahead and frustrate/flummox the other, then offer to bottom. I care more about playing games with each other than healing/corrupting, so if it turns out the criminal is only a petty shoplifter and the cop is enticing him into being an accomplice in something darker, I still just want that maddeningly kind smile to fuck with him. It's all a sort of manipulation.>>2880972281st is J/Cha Euijae from The Hunter Wants to Lay Low, the only actual BL title on that poster but it's so slowburn and focused on worldbuilding it has a reputation for catching people off guard with canon homo. 2nd is the MC of Tower of God, funnily enough he seemed to be the one most people couldn't recognise, myself included. Last one is Jaha from Return of the Mad Demon, which is a fairly standard murim regression revenge comic where the MC goes back in time with his martial arts skills and stomps everyone who disrespects him, but at least in the early chapters I read there's a fox eyed, silver haired guy who he has verbal back and forths with and doesn't kill.>>288097417It's cuter if the short haired one comes shamefully early.>>288097964S1 ended with hopes of what they'd do next, S2 crumpled under time constraints and couldn't give focus to complex emotions and relationships. Lack of internal monologues.
>>288098216When is early shamefully early? I would like to know if I still have my dignity.
>>288098216Thank, I didn't recognize the Tower of God mc despite having watched season 2 lol, guess its the difference between how the anime looks and the artstyle.
>>288090737For me guys on the right are the best of both worlds. They have most of the features that bara characters do but they still retain a semi-pretty boy look on their. It's why I love characters like Ryu and Jin Kazama. I also really don't like overly feminine or overly "masculine" guys like the buff dude from Dispatch, and I hate it when barafags have an obsession with ugly buff characters like orcs or Ganon.Also is that from Masanori?
>>288098918they still retain a semi-pretty boy look on their face*
The brow shota better get porn
>>288087793When does all my unc shit get old enough to pass through cringe and not cringey anymore? Does it have to be gramp shit?
>>288099455About 20 years, give or take.
>>288099181He will and he will top
>>288099181Brown shotas are best shotas
>>288099181The panel with his dad's chest tattoo made me go feral
>>288098678Clothed and barely holding it together. It depends on the scenario, but in that pic I feel like the low waistband is indicative of trying to hide his sensitivity.>>288098772I think it could be that he's just different several hundred chapters in. I had to compare the eye and hair colour with screencaps to confirm and he's got much shorter hair at the start of the story. You need to search his name in Korean characters to get the ponytail version to come up.>>288098918It's the same problem if you're into debu types. Tons of male artists will give them increasingly receding hair lines and gradually turn them into actual pigs facial feature-wise. It's common enough that it can be hard to tell OCs apart. I used to have a fave artist who did musclegut size difference pairs and the big guys had long, shaggy hair styles and a range of cute and handsome faces. Went to check on them after a year or so away and their style had changed to everyone having bulbous noses, thick lipstick, and sparkly mascara/fake lashes? It's one thing to give them pretty boy faces, another to take it to a new extreme. I guess it's what happens when artists are a niche in a niche and keep refining ever nicher.It does say Masanori on there!
>>288090737I don't read BL to find men that are appealing to me, I just want to read gay romance, so Left or Right might as well be fat or skinny, bald or long haired it's okay as long they have a nice thing going on. Except >draw a girl call it a boyI don't like traps that much. Also stop using the world Bara, it was never a thing in Japan, they just refer it as geicomi.
>>288089568Dunno where blue's arc is going now that pink is monogamous and blue's love interest is pursuing mc. But maybe poll's dark horse ship (bluexpurple) is a spoiler?
>>288100695For me it's the cock spurting the moment it's free from the elastic of the underwear.
>>288096289
>>288089507I can't bring myself to throw fandom things away. They go into storage until I get nostalgic.>>288090737As a fujo I like the guy on the right more. His expression and thick eyebrows are attractive. He's not as bara as he could be. Would look even better with slight body fat.>>288090678I've also noticed these puritanical fans. It's surprising that it seems to be coming from both the left and right wing. My theory is that religion has declined so much in the West that instead of looking to the Bible for morals these people expect media to teach people right from wrong.
>>288100893I've been playing Pokemon Purple and he's very cute, he deserves a lot of old men dick
>>288100806>Japanese word used in reference to Japanese culture was never a thing in JapanNot surprised to see this, though. I've already seen someone try to claim that Westerners invented the term yaoi.
>>288100806>it was never a thing in JapanYes it was, zoomer. It's just super outdated like yaoi and chibi.
So cute but I still hope zettai Bl gets an anime.
>>288101365I like this one, it is too bad though that its so short but I get it.
>>288101312I thought it was taken from Barazoku after the gay magazine.
>>288101365>I still hope zettai Bl gets an anime.It will but it'll be a 5 minutes long slideshow that no one will care about
