why is recency bias such a problem in the anime community?
>>290476088Normalfags really got into anime in the 2020s, more than any other year.
>>290476088netflix
The most popular anime are shounen adaptationsShounen are aimed at children aged 3 to 9Children are more likely to watch whatever is given to them rather than something old
people are more likely to interact with current events than the past, and that includes current mediathis is not an anime thing, or a new thing
There's much more anime being produced now it's not like the 70s where there were 5 shows per season that weren't kids cartoons
>>290476159then why isn't it a thing with music or film?
>>290476088>Films from the 2020s in the Letterboxd top 100>3This is blatantly false, what the fuck?>>290476184It absolutely is a thing in film, stop believing everything you read online.It's not a thing on RateYourMusic because that place is Hipster Central, being contrarian and unique is the whole point.
>>290476184It isNow go back>>>/tv/>>>/mu/
>>290476184Because only pretentious millennials use letterboxd or RYM while MAL is used by plenty of zoomers.I don't know why that is. Maybe the weekly seasonal releases pushes anime towards being inherently more social so zoomers are more likely to bother using a social site to rate it, compared to film where they just watch the thing then never think about it again.
>>290476088Because anime as a medium is constantly improving. Anime now are objectively better than 10 years ago, and anime 10 years ago were objectively better than 20 years ago.
>>290476184>why isn't it a thing with film?
>>290476088i think i know why this is, its because since the 2020s started, a lot of western fans specially burger gringos since they are so noisy about this stuff, so a lot of anime productions quickly took notice of this and tried to become more like western movies to appeal more to gringos, since gringo movies and gringo music are big things that have influenced culture in japan this makes sense, right? and thats also why a lot of openings and endings in anime now is gringo music which has been a tendency since jojo anime started airingso anime became more like gringo movie productions and this impressed normies the most; jjk, csm, yani neko opening shit like that.... otaku culture died with that because anime aren't treated like anime anymore, there aren't more deres, lolibait, ecchi, harem, real moe, visual novels, 15 years running nekketsu, girls bravo, nhk, fansubs, bishounen, (yassified cunts dont count), high quality isekai, chuuni, beach episodes, toast in mouth, nosebleed, power of friendship IS ALL DEAD RIP TO ALL THATso tl;dr dirty gringo burger greasy hands made anime shit OTAKU CULTURE IS DEAD
people grow out of anime + there's more young blood watching it
>>290476279>and tried to become more like western movies to appeal more to gringosthis happened in the 80s and is not a recent phenomenon at allall those OVA adaptations were originally made as exports
>>290476088>CoMmUnItYso tired of this bullshit word. liking the same media on the internet isnt a community. who the FUCK cares what someone else thinks of the media you enjoy. Its one thing to discuss it with others who do, its another to pretend your a CoMmUnItY together. same with fandoms. like close your eyes nigga walk away from the screen nigger.
>>290476279why do newfags pretend to know anything about the medium?

>>290476088Not my community. If you consider MALfags your community feel free to stay there.
>>29047624030+ anime watchers tend to not keep up with seasonal. The very entrenched 30+ anime fans torrent or already have a huge backlog and probably only watch a handful of new shows a year, and have decades of viewing experience to judge new shows by.Alpha and Zoomer kids consume anime at 2x speed on tiktok and streaming platforms, limiting them to whatever the algorithm is pushing. Usually to sell something new which cant be done with old shows. They also havnt consumed as much media and have brains fried by smoking chemicals so anything hyped online = 10 and anything with bad morals = 0 because they are weird puritans vs 30+ sex positive cucks. You see this particularly with the recent trend of rating episodes individually and making a big deal of it which was never a thing until maybe 2 years ago.t. 36 boss of multiple alpha and zoomer kids
>>290476354It's a buddy cop comedy about a Black guy and a Jew infiltrating the KKK and egging them on to finally do something so they can all get arrested.
>>290476240RYM is full of zoomers, that's why the Top 100 albums is clogged with rap music and the site is nigh-unusable for finding good new music compared to 10-15 years ago>>290476260>endless isekaislop and romconslop>no originals beside inferior remakes and memberberry shit>copypasted backgrounds from Google Street View>CGI out the ass that somehow looks the same as 00s CGI>style over substance action
>>290476402Rap music can be good, you're just limited to metal or whatever.
>OP assertion already proven falsegood job, anons. Surely we won't get another 400 posts
>>290476373That feels true to me(30+), but it's also true for movies and music. I think the main difference really is that they're more likely to engage with MAL as a rating site than they are with rotten tomatoes or letterboxd.>You see this particularly with the recent trend of rating episodes individually and making a big deal of it which was never a thing until maybe 2 years agoHmm. I guess this is another difference since netflixslop usually just drops the entire season instead of releasing weekly so nobody bothers rating individual episodes.
>>290476421Where was it proven wrong
>>290476443With these posts:>>290476210>>290476271>>290476340Proving that this is not particularly unique to anime.
>>290476434>so nobody bothers rating individual episodesNo, im saying they do that now which is something I had never even heard of until a handful of years ago and Ive been on /a/ since I was 12 and what is this.>more likely to engage with MAL as a rating site than they are with rotten tomatoes or letterboxd.anything with a app. under 30 year olds dont use the internet or desktops- they use apps, and only the apps their friends use. MAL has a app now.
>>290476454That doesn't disprove that the recency bias is a problem in anime, it only points to other people and says "look it happens over there too".OP's post didn't even hint at this being specific to the anime community either.
>>290476469>No, im saying they do that now which is something I had never even heard of until a handful of years ago and Ive been on /a/ since I was 12 and what is this.Yes, because anime DOESN'T drop at once so they can rate individual episodes. So you're seeing this with anime but not with other forms of netflixslop.>MAL has an appBut so does letterboxd.
>>290476483It literally does, by trying to show how much less recency bias there is in movie or music ratings. Why else would he even bring up letterboxd or rym? Just posting the number of shows from the 2020s in the MAL top 100 would have been enough.
>>290476373always used MAL as a personal listNever commented on forum or discussiont. 35 y/o ojisan
>>290476500ah my bad. that makes sense. I dont watch anything but anime and movies made pre 2010 so dont keep up outside of it. Unfortunately I know too much about most of the modern western garbage thanks to shitposting on 4chan and young coworkers.I still watch seasonal personally but am a outlier with other millenial/genx friends who use to.
>>290476528Are you a middle school dropout?
>>290476542I know plenty of those who do I also use MAL as a personal list but I dont think that changes that 30+ tend to watch less seasonal and more backlog then younger gens.
>>290476373This feels accurate. Zoomers just toss out 10/10 ratings to whatever their Youtuber gods tell them is frfr skibidi aura, so all the big shonenshit shows get extremely inflated scores.
>>290476088It's largely because people don't use rating systems properly and for anime give as a baseline 7 for any show they like and 10 for any show they think is good and 1 for any show they dislike which massively skews things and its sort of made ratings pointless.
>>290476271why are you replying with a thing about popularity when MAL's top 100 shit is based on score
>>290476712They really should replace it with a thumbs-up and thumbs-down system
>>290476685Kinda? Though JJK, Solo Levelling, and Kimetsu no Yaiba aren't in the top 100. Bleach: TYBW is but it's an outlier.Also currently airing shows have massively inflated ratings that usually drop heavily after the show finishes its run. Then again I just took a peek and Haikyuu season 3 is in the top 50 (The entire season is just one match) so who the fuck knows what goes through the minds of these people.
>>290476088>4chan screencap thread
>>290476088Isn't Gintama like 20 times in the top 100 list?
I want to have a rating site where you cant rate a show until 3-5 years after its completed.You also have to pass a test of some kind in order to vote for it proving you actually watched and understood the show.
>>290476906Pretty much9/11 pieces of Gintama media are in the top 50, the other 2 are in the top 200.
>>290476933That's why I'm always more interested in individual reviews than the overall number. You can check out the reviewer's profile and instantly know if they're full of shit
>>290476933Hmm. That might backfire and lead to very simple shows getting top ratings because most users wouldn't be able to pass your test after speedwatching anything more complex than your standard shounen auraslop.
>>290476957the question is why is LARPing anime even a thing among zoomers?
>>290476184Even zoomers possess the requisite minimum intelligence necessary to abandon the dumpster fire that is the modern film industry.
>>290477013Idk, maybe they watched some shows they genuinely enjoyed at some point but their dopamine receptors are so fucking fried by social media and short-form content that they can't even sit still for 5 hours to watch a full cour of anime. Or at least some of them genuinely enjoyed something at some point in the past, the others are just chasing a trend and trying to fit in.
>>290476210That's the popularity ranking. Obviously, there will be more recent movies because Letterbox recently went mainstream. Their top 100 by votes is pretty rubbish and includes movies like Life Is Beautiful or Interstellar, but at least it seems that the people who rate are interested in the medium, unlike on anime websites.
>>290476968weighted score per X reviews. also most shonen shows arnt finished airing- One Piece and HxH for example will never be finished so would not be allowed to be rated.
>>290476088The average otaku is underage/mentally underage and obviously doesn't use ranking sites to vote for good content, only hype and arguments. The same thing happens on platforms like imbd, which have a similar or worse average mentality. Their rankings are insulting if you take them seriously, but their function is simply to reflect the opinion of the lowest rung of online society.
>>290477073>weighted score per X reviewsWouldn't that make it really easy to "reviewbomb" anything popular? Or am I misunderstanding what you're weighting here?>One Piece and HxH for example will never be finished Fair, I guess, but it's not like these shows are dominating MAL anyway. I guess it would drop Frieren but you'd still have 6 gorillion seasons of Gintama.
>>290476088There's more people watching anime now and they only watch new shows and rate those so naturally older shows fall down in the ratings
>>290476088Normie tourists discovered anime in the year 2020, which is what creates those bias
>>290477160>reviewbombfaggots who do this will never wait 3-5 years to do so, or be able to pass the review quiz.
>>290476483>OP's post didn't even hint at this being specific to the anime community either.Have you tried looking at the image he posted?
>>290477189Idk man, hurting the feelings of 1.3 billion people can be pretty potent, even if they have to wait half a decade and pass some sort of test.
>>290477204Even if he did make the (unwise) claim that this problem is specific to the anime community, nobody has managed to prove that the community does not have a recency bias.
>>290477312Except this makes a huge difference. If the probelm is specific to the anime community then it's up to the anime community to fix it.If it's a societal problem that shows up everywhere then what the fuck is the anime community supposed to do about it? Build a new internet that you have to be 30+ to access?
I watched Howl's moving Castle and other Ghibli movies with my sick mother and had a great timeGiving up on Cel Animation because of inferior cheaper digital tools was such a downplay
>>290477225shitposting brown hands dont have ling enough memory for that.
>>290477676"hurting the feelings of 1.3 billion people" usually refers to chinks, not jeets.
>>290477365I don't care whether or not it's specific to the anime community. The only thing that matters is whether the community has a recency bias, and thus far nobody has been able to disprove this statement.
>>290477702Humanity as a whole has recency bias you retard. What is there to talk about? This is a well known and well researched fact.
>>290477717I accept your concession.
>>290477694if it aint white it aint right
>>290477964Doesn't change the fact that chinks are able to hold a grudge for decades and are also willing to invade foreign sites to reviewbomb media.
>>290477995>media is translated to their language>noo you can't review it
