>coworkers start talking about anime
>>288229485some people have no shame
>>288229485>overhear the repeated mention of netflix and crunchyroll
>>288229485>coworkers mention boku no pico
>coworkers start working
>toaster toasts toast
>>288229672>I am that coworker
>>288229485What's the current normalfag anime they might be talking about? Is frieren on netflix?
>>288229485My coworker only ever talks about final fantasy 14
/a/ is not the board to talk about what normalfags say or do
>>288230565Sorry, it was hard to tell
>>288229485>see one piece wallpaper on younger guys phone at the gym>try to start conversation about animu>he has seen one piece, and KnY>he is only interested in talking about one piece and KnY>he has no interest in knowing or talking about the hundreds of anime that i have seen over thousands of hours It's always the same. Why do i bother? I must take accept no one is interested in watching as many Chinese cartoons as i do. For most, it's a social signalling mechanism, not a real hobbyThe only time i was pleasantly surprised was by this Indian guy who had seen like 3x more anime than me. Also he had eidetic memory and was really smart. I haven't even met a person with eidetic ever since then it prior
>>288230665A kid in the gym convinced me into watching sakugaslop for a while until I realized he literally only recommends the most popular shows of the season
>>288230722he goes to the gym which makes his opinion is more valuable that all the dyels in this thread
>>288230665>>see one piece wallpaper on younger guys phone at the gym>>try to start conversation about animu>>he has seen one piece, and KnY>>he is only interested in talking about one piece and KnYThis is where you use your vast depth of knowledge about other anime to mention some anime he might like based on liking One Piece or KnY. Try him with HxH. Baby steps. Other shounen battle stuff.
>>288229485>"I love sailor moon - dubbed, of course">"I watched takarajima at 2x speed, so it went by pretty fast.">"patlabor 2 is such a great film. the series looks so boring, though.">"tsukikage ran is an awesome feminist show, with a strong female protagonist unlike other anime."
>>288229485Ask to suck his dick
>>288229485>coworker recommends me donghua
>coworker shows me his dong
>>288230295>anon>having a stable job
>>288231782Show that your cock is bigger, don't let them intimidate you.
>hear Death Note music playing as someone's ringtone>Hey man, you watch Death Note?>what? oh, no, I just use this as my ringtone, I heard it from tiktok, I don't even know where it's fromThat's the last time I'll ever ask anyone else about anime
>>288231842It's not much but it's honest work.
Despite being an unc by 4chan standard I'm the youngest guy in my office. A few of them are trekkies but they're too old for Nipponese cartoons.There's one 20 something girl with Sanrio shit all over her desk but I've never tried to talk to her about animu.
>>288231883>coworker almost caught me>quickly rehid my power levelThat's the last time I'll have Death Note as a ringtone
>>288229485>co-worker starts striking a Jojo pose and looks at me for validation
>>288231972>A few of them are trekkies but they're too old for Nipponese cartoons.https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Urusei_Yatsura
>>288232009Don't look!
>>288232013What would Barclay's favorite anime be?
>>288232041He strikes me as a big Maison Ikoku kind of guy.
>>288231708>donghuascissor seven is pretty cool desu
>on lunch break at work>co-worker is watching dubbed MHA on his phone in the corner
>>288232079I can safely predict nothing will be cleansed in the foreseeable future
>>288232041Guaranteed, Shoujo romances.Things he can't experience outside of a holodeck
>>288229485>coworker starts sharing his favorite ecchi
>>288232041He would love harem and isekai anime. That's for sure.
>>288232079>Can't name a single Japanese actor but will list their favorite dub shitters all day and brags about getting autographs.
>>288232127What is it?
>>288232129Actually, there has to be something like "I Used To Be An Engineer On A Starship And Now I've Been Reincarnated As A Medieval Prince!" out there.
>>288232152Kiss x sis
>>288232172That's Chief O'briens. You know he's a huge weeb. Though he did manage to actually get a japanese wife.
>Coworkers treat anime as a genre itself and just watch whatever's popular instead of forming their own taste
>>288231980Base
I had a few coworkers who kept wanting me to see how "cool" their favorite shonen shit is and they kept showing me out of context fight scenes to push how badass it was. I had no connection the characters, no insight into the plot or awareness of the stakes. It just some obnoxious seizure inducing shit show that gave me a headache. And then get mad at me when I don't immediately become a fan that second.
>>288229485>Only other autistic coworker keeps trying to awkwardly start up a conversation about the manga I'm reading.>Be me, autistic AND antisocial.>Ignore him.
>coworker mentions she had a big merch shipment coming from Japan>gets fucked with import taxes>check her Instagram>follows hundreds of BL accountsYeah, I don't want to know what she reads or watches because I'm going to be disgusted.
>>288232207O'brien would crack open some scotch after work and watch shounenshit with Bashir.
>"anon do you watch anime?">"n-no, I don't know anything about that jap stuff...">...I lost the chance to get close to a girl in uni because 10 years ago this place made me fall for the hiding the power level meme.
>>288232464At least when Garrick isn't making Bashir watch cardassian anime
>Coworkers will pester me relentlessly to watch their shit>Won't even listen to a suggestion of anything I like and even offered to lend or provide
>>288229485I'm the only white guy at an office in Nipland. Kingdom and One Piece get talked about constantly, old dudes love Dandadan, and the zoomies shill Kagurabachi because of fucking course they do. It's sort of the reverse of burgerland tho, reading the manga is normal but watching the anime adaptation gets you labelled a nerd with too much free time.
>>288229485>>coworkers start talking about anime
>>288232141>all daybut the list of dub actors is only 5 lines long
>>288232180tell him taste is shit and Kiss x Sis is boring as fuck>>288232282flashing lights and speedlines is the craziest shit to retards for some reason
>>288232079At my last retail job I had a coworker who kept watching vtumors without using headphones.
>>288232883I also live in Yamato, and I only ever hear people talking about Frieren, One Piece, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Chainsaw Man. The Jap's taste is just as horrendous as America's taste. The only anime people watch is children's shows. Other than that, nobody actually watches anime, they just read random manga volumes that are available at 2nd hand stores, see clips online, and buy merch of the cute girls and cool guys. It's kind of disgusting, the normalfags of all countries are all the sameI heard a 3rd grader singing Cruel Angel's Thesis though, which I thought was funny.
>run into a schizophrenic faggot obsessed with jojoWhy is every jojofag always so obnoxious?
>>288233056It wasn't always like that you know. Back when we just had the OVA and dreamcast game. those were good times.
>>288229672Based. Normalfags can not comprehend art.
>Start talking about classic prog rock with some other dude>Co Worker: OMG I KNOW THAT FROM JOJO!
>okay folks, productivity is down this quarter, and I know you've all been pulling your weight, so we need to discuss some new practices to raise efficiency>we'll start with a teambuilding exercise and go round the table clockwise>marry, fuck, kill all kodomo no jikan characters including animals and background shapes>marry first round and if someone picks your character you have to pick a different one>okay anon, you first...
>>288229485>bring up the "what would you do if you had a notebook that could kill people" question to coworker>he says he knows that meme, he just saw the deathnote movie on shitflix>I had brought it up because I watched a video essay on yt about how it's gay and sucks shit>tell him that the anime is better>he actually goes and watches it, then we talk about it>he stopped watching after L died lol
>>288232009Nah, they're probably just gay.
>>288231842>be me>farm hand>take care of horses >literal stable job
>>288229485>coworkers start talking about their favourite hentai
>>288232282>I had no connection the characters, no insight into the plot or awareness of the stakes.That sounds like how it feels to watch Akira
>>288233371>he stopped watching after L died lolBretty based tbqh
>>288229485Any experience in talking about anime during military service/in the army?>me and one squad member talked about the difference between main Evangelion and Rebuilds>he commented how it was funny our Defense Forces had put "all the nerds" in the same squad>another squad member watched anime on his laptop during leisure time/night (I remember how he watched Shikimori), would often ask what he was currently watching>I'm friends with him to this day, and we regularly discuss about anime>read the entirety of Nausicaä manga during my service, as it was available at military canteen's library>other squad members (different than above, as our squad order was changed) sometimes asked what I was reading, and they knew it was some comic/manga>I explained it was a war comic drawn by Hayao Miyazaki, linking him with the Ghibli films>they hadn't watched any Ghibli filmAlso, even though it was prohibited to bring/look adult content to the barracks, the military canteen library had one German-translated manga volume with nude ladies and bare nipples. Guess they didn't check all the comics that were donated to them
>>288233508I literally told him, he didn't miss much. The second "half" was a pure downgrade and it's better to just think light won and leave it at thatNear was a mistake
>>288233585Just watch the last 4 minutes of the show and pretend it's alternative ending where L won
>>288233585>Near was a mistakeI take it you haven't read Bakuman? Near was less a mistake and more the result of unreasonable editorial demand to keep the manga going when it received an anime adaptation. This is illustrated very unsubtly in Bakuman with the artist/author duo paralleling Death Note with their self-inserts' magnum opus manga in the series. They even go as far as ending it on their own terms and seeing it receive fantastic reception as a result. They KNEW Death Note would have been best ended with L and Light dying together. They just caved to pressure and kept the series going.
Not your blogs
>>288229485I am an engineer so many of my coworkers are weebs and koreaboos. I actually have great discussions with them about lesser known series and how they made us feel. I introduced them to LoTGH(the long one) and some loved it. Others got hyper bored
>>288233534No, I don't want to die for a foreign country in the middle east
>>288232013And in turn.
>>288233475ba dunp tish
you all watched normalfag shit too when you first got into anime
>>288234380Yes, like Jack and the Beanstalk and Dominion Tank Police.
>>288234380thank god I didn't fucking post about it online, or talk about it in person
>>288231842some of us arent brown and live in west EU, nor have rich parents anonit is what it iscurrently posting from work pc
>>288231842I feel like I lucked out on this, left school and found my first dev job in 2020 a month before covid hit. Still there working mostly from home now with lots of down time that I just play vidya in. Pay is not great but can't be assed running through the hiring gauntlet at the moment.
>older coworker sometimes shows up drunk to pass out on my couch because I live close to his favorite bar>start putting on 'cute girls doing cute things' shows as he nods off on the couch>he rarely remembers any of it the next day>at work, notice him humming to one of the opening themes one day
>>288234380I might be biased but I think there's a bit of a difference between a normal fag who had to get his shit on expensive vhs tapes or other limited accessibility options and a normal fag who has all the anime in the world at their convenience and still needs to ask others IS XYZ WORTH WATCHING.
>>288234899The only time I let a drunk coworker crash on my couch he owed me a new couch.
>>288229485I just keep my head down and don't engage.
>>288234931I don't think I want to engage honestly. It's easy enough to post about shit here but going to the trouble to make anime friends just seems like a pain in the ass. I don't see my existing friends enough as it is and anime is a pretty solo hobby, it just so happens we do it in parallel and can discuss it. Frankly I feel like too many fandoms exist purely for the sake of the fandom rather than just collective hobbyists
>>288232986>Kiss x Sis is boring as fuckIdk about the series but the ova is great fap material.
>>288234918What about people that grew up in the 00s with stuff they saw on toonami? A lot of those were shonenfags and the only vhs tapes they got were ghibli shit that you could easily find?
>old boss talks about anime>tells me he's a griffith apologist>reccomends me nothing but romcomswas pretty based sometimes
>>288234946I still think it would be cool if you found someone that enjoys the same stuff as you do. Watching Samflam and Madoka with /a/ were some of the best and most enjoyable moments I had on the internet. I'd imagine that replicating something like that Irl would be fun but unfortunately I don't really have friends.
>>288229485>Coworker starts talking about their favorite anitubers
>>288234946>>288235158i watch a few shows with my mate but he's pretty surface level normie, so the stuff we watch together is like bleach/solo levelling etc. I've managed to get him to expand his horizons a bit - black lagoon he enjoyed and we watched a couple of random recent seasonals together but it would be nice to have someone to watch the more niche shit together with.
>>288235183>it's all reaction slop or ironic slop like "the anime man"Fuck that shit.
>>288233120I actually liked most of the jojo series but I wish they remained a niche.
>>288232878>even offered to lend or provideIf your coworker can't torrent then he is not worth the time. >>288232282This is how I felt when a coworker kept showing me spiderverse shit.
>>288232986KxS has a lot of interesting scenarios, I genuinely can't think of other ecchi that are as creative other than Golden boy and HOTD.
>>288235227It's always shit like picrel and you just know they watch this crap more than they actually watch anime
>>288233475heh
>>288235276Shit like this is easy because they don't have to think for themselves. The discussions in such podcasts never go further than "Lain is great... because it predicted the future" "Bakemonogatari is great... because the dialogue is nice". Trash taste is extremely easy to consume for ironic weebs because of how surface it is.
>if you're reading subtitles you are missing the on screen action >why would non Japanese characters speak Japanese?>have you seen Monster?>it's a Japanese anime
>>288232079>go up to him and ask if he's watching one of those "mangas"
>chad at my ping pong club used to imitate jojo characters during gamesshounen anime is mostly socially accepted now but it made me feel uneasy, especially since he was doing that mostly with me for some reason
>>288235298Normalfaggots can't think even if they wanted to.
>>288232079Go up to him and tell him those japs speak pretty good English for being foreigners, but you can tell they're not fluent by how bad the acting is. If he tries explaining they're dub vas, act confused and say you thought those anniemays were Japanese cartoons.
>Sorry, i don't watch stuff for kids and nerdsGet fucked casuals, now i'll just g->call incoming, ringtone starts playing at full volumehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt3D3Ca9nww
>coworker starts talking about anime>Its about one piece, jjk, mha and kny>currently watching witch hat atelierI hate normalfags so much
>>288235922>oh you liked WHA? the guy that directed it also worked on this anime called Space Brothers, you might want to check it out!It's not that hard.
>>288235276The 3 fags on trash taste have done irreparable damage to the anime online discourse
>>288235922>What's KnY? I've only watched Demon Slayer
>>288235643Bro, you must be capping.I'm neuro-divergent, a-normal free thinker and I love trash taste. They push serious discourse on the state of the industry and unironically are really funny. I know this place is a shithole but the fact that you can't see how much effort goes into these podcasts means you're fr stupid :P
The absolute fucking state of this board
>>288236103I can't tell if this is ironic
Usually what happens is they say some popular shonen I've never heard of and I respond with a certified /a/ ""classic"" they've never seen and we just don't talk about it again The only media I've spoken at length over with my coworkers is videogames
>>288236118>I'm neuro-divergent, a-normal free thinkerI thought this bit might of been a bit heavy handed, I'm not even sure a-normal is a real term but it felt right
>>288236119Normalfags usually have shit taste in vidya as well and only play modern stuff, at least from my experience
last time I talked about anime at work was ablye akogarete and how based it was
>>288236141abnormal is the word you're looking for
>>288236119>/a/ ""classic""Which one? I've actually managed to convince a shonentard coworker to watch Gurren Lagann and he enjoyed it.
>>288229485What's wrong with it?
>>288236259Boku no Pico
>>288236252Nah I think it's atypical that they put in there xitter/insta bios
>>288229485Don't kid yourself, you're a socially incompetent NEET with no job yet have a narcissist bloated estimation of self worth, thinking yourself above and superior to peers who enjoy the same hobby as you do
>>288236374yeah, no shit, why else would any of us be here
>>288230750>all the dyels in this thread
>>288236374Holy projection
>>288236265Normalfags and happy people shouldn't enjoy my hobby. They don't "get it" like I do.
>>288236118Why can't you tell?
>>288236474I have autism and cannot deduce intent without it being explicitly told to me
>>288236483Who would believe that?
>>288229485that's me, i'm that coworkeri also exclusively use anime raction images in company chats
>>288236440Thing is, most of them don't even truly enjoy it. It's what happens to be """"cool"""" in the current era so they merely pretend to enjoy it. In reality they'll always bristle and piss and moan at even the most milquetoast instances of anime actually being anime. Because normalfags will be normalfags forever.
>>288236655>watch the dub in the background while doing chores at 2x speedtruly the most repugnant thing I've ever heard come out of a normalfag's mouth
>>288236680
I recommended a coworker to watch "I party everything" because the first episode was kinda good. I'm deeply ashamed now, as he actually saw it until the end and I dropped in three episodes in. He told me it's the shittiest anime he ever saw and won't watch anything anime related anymore. Fucking gooks spending all their budget on the first episode. This false advertising should be illegal
>>288229485>Hear co-worker is a big anime fan>It's Demon Slayer, One Piece and Attack on Titan, as always
>>288236374Yes, that is basically everyone here, both yourself and myself included.
>>288233534There was an all around nerd in my squad who watched Kimetsu no Yaiba in the evening, to which one of our NCO school's officer candidates responded by complimenting his taste. Closer to the end of my service when I ended up with the same guy again, he showed me some Dr. Stone meme in addition to other kinds of infodumping. However, as I wasn't exactly the most popular or respected among our company's officer candidates, I pretty much ignored these things to hide my power level and maintain whatever was left of my authority. Later I have regretted it, as I could have gotten quite an interesting friend had I started talking to him about anime etc.There was also a guy who faked being sick as much as he could to avoid almost all actual service, and just read manga on his phone in bed.
>>288233045>they just read random manga volumes that are available at 2nd hand storesIt's even worse>go to bookoff, I can barely read but I want to browse to see what it's like and buy some shit for collecting purposes>jap stores are already gigga cramped and normally sized european barely fits between the bookshelves>those niggas will just stand there in an alley for an hour pretending they are browsing it and just straight up read whole volumes one after another and leave without buying anythingSo much for glorious prosocial Japan and shit. The same cheapskates will try to get shit for free everywhere.
>>288229485This thread format was funny 15 years ago when anime was fringe shitNot anymore when anime is more mainstream than sports among zoomers
>>288229485>>>students start talking about anime
>>288237686I've seen this format on both /tv/ and /v/ 100 times in the last decade or so even though both of them are mainstream. Who cares?
>>288237842What are you teaching, anon-sensei?
>>288237686Zoomers are 50 iq points below the base level where anime can be properly interpreted, in other words we're safe.
>>288237842and it's all shonen shit, you hate to see it!
>>288237915english nano desu in europe
>>288237979Cool, I always liked my english teachers. Are you a school teach or a college one?
>>288236229i dont mind talking about bad games desu at least theres something to discuss there that's basically most of /v/
>>288238106My experience is them talking about hero shooters or multiplayer nomalfag shit like that which simply doesn't interest me.
>>288229485I know one guy at work who offhandedly mentioned captain tsubasa. I think he's a bit more of a nerd than he admits based on some other clues but that one was probably a fluke because he's really into football. Other said his kids watch KnY. Nobody I know is into even normalfag anime or much of anything "geek" at all.We have some other departments we share a break room with and I have heard two people talk about frieren in there. That's as far as it gets. And this is IT. The stories about this industry are much exaggerated.
>>288230665You talk about the series they like and recommend similar stuff, at some point they either find it too weird and stays in the surface or fall in love with like we did.I got a narutard deeper into the medium by recommending HxH, and a complete netflix normalfag by recommending Berserk because the like Game of Thrones, hell this guy is watching Monster now which I personally never really got into.
>>288231842Some of us are poorfags and can't go NEET, my social skills are good enough to get hired and having pleasant conversations about the weather, nothing beyond that.>>288234843Same, I worked fast food before but finished college in 2019 just in time to get hired and go full remote by 2020. This is great.
>>288231972These tend to either have really high standards or low standards, I'd say try making conversation with her but then again >3dpd
>>288238312Or not be interested in anime at all. Do you knw how many girls have sanrio shit without caring at all about the source?
>>288238358>Do you knw how many girlsnot at all, im a 30 year old virgin working from home
>>288234380I didnt do it for a trend or whatever i was just like damn i really liked those giblet movies what if i watched something else, and then i did, and now ive seen a bunch and i still dont talk to people about it unless theyre not a phony
>>288237979why not in Japan?
>coworker installs gnome and uses lain wallpapers
>>288238203Test the waters by bringing up Blue Lock.
>friend has been a weeb longer than me>more degenerate, too>he's had a sora no otoshimono pfp on steam since he was 10 years old>he's also unlocked at least half the /trash/-tier fetishes by now>pretty sure he was a brony at one point as well>huge military/sci-fi/mecha fan>collects both anime- and vidya figurines>stereotypical otaku shut-in NEET since high school ended>despite this, the one time i off-handedly mentioned /tesg/ to him, he recoiled and acted as if 4chan is some dangerous dark web sitebaffling reaction; i thought he was shitting me but he remained adamant that he's never been
>coworker recommends boku no pico
>>288231583No one said the last one.
>>288238596He's been on much worse i reckon, honestly i consider reddit to be worse, because of all the nasty subreddits, at least here nothing is permanent and doesn't involve joining people that like ketchup on feet or some deranged shit like that
>>288235091Then that's still an external limitation. It's not their fault if they can't get something.
>>288238708No one said any of them, I made them all up in an attempt to be funny. I don't even have any co-workers.I'm sorry, anon.
>>288230295I wish. So many lazy bums out there.
>>288238031high schooltechnically I'm just an assistant so I pretty much just play language games every class>>288238419I don't speak a lick of Japanese plus the competition is pretty tough to get this sort of gig in Japan but not at all in certain European countries
>>288237842>student reads manga between classes>student watches anime during recess>student even watches chargeman ken>student is the smartest of them allShe made my job a lot easier, I'll never forget her.
>>288236569both
>>288234380The difference ia that zoomoids and modern normalfaggots refuse to engage with the medium on a deeper level. AT MOST they might watch a couple of the classics IF they are on shidflix or crunchycuck, like cow boy bep-bop or evangelion.You'll never see them>browsing seasonal charts to pick what they seem intrested in>engaging with various genres outside of their standard shonenslop>trying out shows they might not like>refining their taste through hundreds of animes watched>going back and watching decades old animeEtc.
>>288238929>so I pretty much just play language games every classThat sounds fun. If you don't mind me asking in which country do you actually teach?
>>288238929>not at all in certain European countriesare you talking about eastern europe or what? this sounds incredibly good
>>288238968I am pretty sure that there were normalfags 20 years ago that just watched a few shonen and then left the medium.
I'm fairly sure some of my co-workers are also into anime, but I refuse to acknowledge it since they're somewhat spergs who would start blathering about it without any consideration for the rest of any given group were in.
>start talking with a coworker about anime>the discussions get more and more intense>you end up having sex with himI don't want this faggot shit.
>coworkers start talking to each other about the times they fucked me
>>288234899The cgdctchad is unstoppable
>>288239010Of course like anything out there, but the issue is people pretending to have a hobby and then giving their input and opinions to a market they couldn't care less about, its also annoying as shit because i hate one piece and theres too many "anime" fans that only talk about garabge like that instead of just leaving the medium for good, like they should
>>288229485Tell them about Mahou Shoujo Ni Akogarete, Strike Witches and Prisma Illya.
>>288239010and they likely didn't call themselves hardcore otaku
>>288235227>>288235183>>288235276I dont really watch these types of youtubers, but I've been watching this group of people do "anime jeopardy" over the past couple months. It's pretty funny. They take turns making jeopardy games and quizes that often have some form of twist or creativity that make them search their anime KNOWLEDGE and range from being easy to downright ragebait impossible. One of my favorite moments was during a test where there were specifically two anime newfaggots paired up with seasoned watchers and the new faggots had to describe an image from a show they haven't seen to the person that has seen it. Was quite a laugh and a hoot
>>288239100Jokes aside - prisma illya wasnt all that bad, for a spin-off it could have been much worse, and on the positive side, the amount of doujins it gave is priceless, its definetley for me in the top 30 contributors
>>288239129>>288239087You are right about the people trying to be part of the "community" and acting like they have knowledge they don't posses. That shit angers me as well. My post was about people that just watched maybe an anime or two have no desire to continue. There have been plenty of those back then and there are plenty of them right now as well.
>>288235276Reminds me of that one time i saw a youtuber talking trash about Jem and the Holograms, I couldn't believe people would sink that low for viewer engagement, but they do in fact and they go lower by the day
I think i'd prefer to talk about anime, even the most normalfag ones, instead of talking about internet memes or funny jokes from InstagramLike holy shit, look for a better subject to chat or stay quiet
>>288229540>refers to previously long-running anime as broken up into seasons
>>288238982>>288239009franceI'm an American on summer break, going back in a few monthsIf you can speak French and enjoy teaching (have experience as a tutor or something) it's not a bad gig, although a lot depends upon where you get placed and which actual teachers you work with. You can even pivot it into a job as a real English teacher, which I might end up doing. Look up TAPIF if it sounds interesting. It doesn't pay very well, though.
>dude TTGL is so much better than NGEI mean I agree but don't just randomly bring that up during lunch
>>288239154Funnily enough it's the least favorite of the three, I dropped it after a few episodes.
>>288234380Mine was NGE. Also saw my first 2D tits very early on watching Sekirei when for some reason it was available uncensored for free on youtube lmao. Pic related is a beautiful memory for me and it still randomly pops into my head from time to time.
>>288239253fair enough when i mean i like it i mean specifically the second and fourth season so its like only half of it, and yes the most important thing it caused was the fanart, so its not really the show but the community
>>288231972Tru uncs would know about Star Blazers.
>>288239100>Mahou Shoujo Ni Akogaretethere's a really ripped guy in my class who watched that with his gf and then recommended it to me, out loud, and i'm too much of a wuss to even rate it publicly. idk i guess him having a 20 year old gf makes him immune to normalfags labeling him a pedo for watching it.
>>288229485>dubbed
>>288239239are there any jobs that pay well in France anyway? I was in the military here and was still earning peanuts, considering becoming a real teacher too but can't be fucked with doing another master's
>>288239428Theres only five good dubs out there, yugioh, hellsing ultimate, pokemon, ghost stories and the other yugioh show where the elephant has a german accent, everything else is garbage
>>288236440>normalwaggies>happypick one
>>288234380my first anime are World Masterpiece Theater and 70s Mecha anime, which considered for normalfags back then. But modern normalfags starts with entry level popular shit, and yet still stuck with the most normalfag popular anime.
>>288234380I watched at least 5-10 obscure 90s anime before I ever touched even Dragon Ball.
>>288239768they like what's popular because it's popular. It's the same reason they like MCU movies but will never touch a comic. They like Dr Who but never saw anything before David Tennent. They like like things that are trendy to be trendy. I had a coworker call themselves a geek because they went and saw Deadpool.
>coworker loudly watching anime in the bathroom two stalls down while i'm in there trying to jerk off
>>288239768Idk if I would even count stuff you see on tv like Heidi back then as normalfag anime because they don't see it as such. Plenty of normalfags grew up with kodomo anime like pokemon, or blayblade/bakugan if they were born later but they never considered it an anime.
>>288239466Those are some of the worst dubs, shitter-kun.
>>288239915How obscure were they? Could you even see them? >>288239927Why do you even need to jerk off at the job? Just wait until you get home.
>>288240031>How obscure were they? Could you even see them?Well desu yes they were mostly bootleg vhs tapes and some looked chopped up or shitty but I could still watch them.
>>288238941So, did you make a move on her?>>288238596It's funny how people thinks that when it's just a website with people posting cute anime girls
>>288239010And those people don't pretend to like anime
>>288229485I have the Puru Puru Pururin theme as my ringtone and I’m waiting for the day someone recognizes it
>>288234380The first 5 anime I watched were:Assassination ClassroomCowboy BebopRe:ZeroHigh School DxDKLKHow did I do?
>>288240219I can't remember the last time I heard a ringtone in public that wasn't the default iOS or default Android ringtone.
>>288231842>Everyone going on about how switching jobs is the way to higher pay>My ass being convinced I wouldn't be able to even get another job to begin withI live in constant fear of being found out what a fraud I am
>>288240328Almost as lame and gay as having a poorly cropped photo of your family as your background
>>288234899This sounds like a good plot for an otaku-themed romcom manga. Kinda like YaniSuu but about anime and alcohol.
>>288240031>Why do you even need to jerk off at the job?So I can get paid to do it.
I have a coworker 6 years younger than me. He’s watched some shonen but he also likes 90s classics a lot. He had an MHA phase in elementary school which he feels ashamed of now
>>288232079I assume that's pretty common because I've had a coworker doing the same thing during lunch. No headphones.At the same workplace, there was a different guy who stopped me to gush about Umaru-chan for 15 straight minutes.
>>288231972>uncPlease say ossan
>>288230414>it unironically is a masterpiecehentai has only gone downhill since, even AI can't compete with BnP.
>>288240550>Umaru-chanevenbnormal people know her because the biggest youtuber on earth at the time (pewdiepie) would use gifs of her in his videos
>>288240164Hell no, she was in 9th grade. The gif meant it more in finding someone with genuine appreciation for anime and manga, probably should've used another one.
>I never had a cool anon teacherLame
>>288240027theyre funny, the other ones are lame and gay, take your pick anon
>>288234380yeah when i was 5, cause there wasn't anything else than captain tsubasa on tv in a post soviet commie countryi wouldn't call lain, blame! or gunslinger girl normalfag shit, but you're welcome to disagree
>>288240560unc should be filtered to oji-san we need more wapanese filters like desuI use desu all the time just as a normal sentence ender now desu ne
>>288233475There's a joke about farmer kun cucking Eren somewhere but I just can't string along the right words into a coherent sentence.
>>288240581Nah there was that one series with the purple haired girl and her uncle, came out in 2018 i think, 10/10 experience
>>288240820>Students in ninth grade are usually 14–15 years oldYou don't like adult women? Filthy lolicon.
>coworkers are watching mainstream sakuga mal and rec list slop Man it's so hard to be intellectual and watch only deep anime like Mato Seihei, Parry God and Puniru.
>>288241543My bad 2020, Chii-chan Kaihatsu Nikki, absolute banger
