The vast majority of people who watched fansubs 20-30 years ago don't watch anime any more do they? Or only do so the most casual level. As in, if you were around during the Haruhi era, you are a minority vet even if you were a n00b back then. Kinda sad isn't it. What am I even doing here? All the old anime message boards are dead. Where are these people anymore?
Switched to webnovel since there are more contents catered to my old man taste.
Been here since Shana, Deen/Stay Night, and Zero no Tsukaima.SS/Eclipse forever.
>>288989142We're still here.
>>288989142why are you just making shit up
>>288989322I'm not? All the message boards I go to are dead. MAL, yes, I go there is full of dudes who haven't logged in 5-10 years. Most of these dudes quit.
>>288989178I found most webnovels rather garbage. I don't see why you wouldn't read normal books.
>>288989851kill yourself
>>288989406Most older people on most sites haven't logged in a lot of years. It is what it is
>>288989880Why so aggressive? Web novels are just not that well written when compared to actual literature. Even jops seem to agree.
>>288989891because these people moved on with their lives and became normalfags. they have wives and kids now. while we jack off to anime girls of questionable age
>>288989142I wouldn't say the vast majority have quit, most just don't post all that much anymore, probably. The question is why they don't post anymore. People described in this post >>288989913 aren't a factor methinks, we've always had and will always have people who never "moved on" with their lives, even as they reach their 50's.
They either committed suicide or became normalfags, you can only do one of these two. You cannot continue being a hardcore otaku so you either kill yourself or become a normalfag.
>>288990057>Eventually I'll have to give up my hobbies or kill myselfGrim
>>288990057False. I know for a fact that there are some anons in their 70s on this board, and there are plenty of hardcore otaku in their 50s and 60s in Japan. If you think that you can't continue being otaku forever, you were never otaku in the first place.
>>288990050No No No, I go around asking them if they still watch anime on MAL. Some of the ones who still log on straight up admit they haven't watched anime in years lol. Most moved on. It's ok to admit it.
>>288990071>>288990100You will never get a partner then, the people that get partners either hide their power level significantly forever or they won the lottery and got a degen fujo/yume wife. Also I highly doubt people in their 50s+ post here, its all 15-40 at best.
>>288990103Post your mal already if you are so interested in it. Mal also has guys that made accounts before 2010 that still update their stuff so it's all anecdote at the end of the day. If you want move on as well no one is stopping you.
>>288990103Quitters don't matter. Also this "It's ok to admit it" shit sounds like you're trying to get some company for your misery.
>>288990134I don't want to move on. I just miss the community from the 2000s and hate watching anime with faggot zoomers who think they are pirates for using 9anime. I'm sad because they weren't real hardcores like I am wtf.
>>288989142I've been watching since the early 90' and don't want to stop yet but it's not the same anymore.Literally everything changed over time.
>>288990248Yeah, it got better since then. Back in the day you had 4 anime a season on average and 3 of them were for literal 4 year olds. Maybe you had a few good ovas.
>>288990226The community is dead everyone moved on or killed themselves and all that's left is discord and tiktok.
>>288990226Welcome to the modern world, most discussions on internet are done by zoomers or worse. Use the 4chan archive and pretend you travelled back in time if you can't stand that.
>>288990226So when you stream and pirate (in 7 part 320p eyerape quality Youtube videos) its heckin based and 'soooo nostalgic maaaan' but when zoomers stream (often in 1080p) it's somehow badNevermind the fact that the subs you and zoomers watch are likely the exact same
>>288990274Millennials make up a substantial number of /a/ users. If this forum seems boring, stale, and humorless, you have yourselves to blame. Your posting habits have changed over the years to favor conformity and predictability without your realizing it.
>>288990278I think it's the extra watermark that streaming sites use. It's so unnecessary. And no, I generally tend to download BD Remux anime.
Zoomers are low IQ and ruin everything, this is known and it's also why they are universally hated even by their younger generation Alpha.
>>288990559I have more of a problem with 3rd worlders and spics when it comes to the modern internet.
>>288990278>/a/>streaming
>>288989142Guu thread
>>288991313That's the precise type of retard zoomer I wish never discovered anime.
