Remember when anime felt like a private club? You had to hunt for fansubs, get called a loser, and actually give a shit. Now it's everywhere. The same normies who mocked us wear the merch. Corpos and globalists turned it into another mass-market product. Tiktok tourists consume it like fast food. It's not ours. Why isn't it special?
>>544192750Anime is gay. Except DBZ of course.
>>544192793DBZ is sweaty shirtless men screaming each other’s names for 30 episodes and the only people watching are dudes. And that’s the straight one?
>>544192750>ass-market productanime was always a mass market product u brainlet, i think the word you were looking for was novelsfuck anime. people watch 2 shows, declare themselves experts on anime, defend japan in every argument / bring japan into every argument and then they actually want to act as gatekeepers who gets to be a "cool anime enthusiast like me" and who isnt allowed to hold that awesome title.many of these types dont even realize it when theyre watching a chink animation instead of a magic japan one.
>>544192750when i was in the air force, one of my squadron guys had lucky star decals on his car. i asked him about them and he didn't even know they were from an actual show. "ironic weeb" is not a fake term. a lot of these people just think its funny to pretend they're weebs without even knowing anything about weeb culture. i don't watch this garbage either, but i spend enough time on this god forsaken website to know even rudimentary level weeb trash. these other people don't. it's like those niggers who wear those aheago hoodies but couldn't even tell you what that face is called.
>>544192750I stopped watching after like 2013 or so for basically those reasons. I was watching fansubs as they came out in hs. "Seasonal anime" wasn't a thing; there was a known stock of shows of many genres and varying quality. Any show you hadn't heard of or seen was 'new'. Things couldn't be gotten ahold of or viewed easily which made it mysterious and you treasured the good shit when u found it.Now it's just shit to be consumed. Good shoes exist but it's just another medium now. When American shows want to they can successfully co-opt it now and people see it as no different when it was the storytelling style and subject matter that differentiated anime from western animation. And they draw more and better giant anime tiddies in japan.

>>544193790>one of my squadron guys had lucky star decals on his car. i asked him about them and he didn't even know they were from an actual show99% chance he lied to you after being called out for having Lucky Star decals. That would be like having some MLP shit that a coworker recognizes.
Japan is pozzed now and generally speaking the japanese youth is getting really trashy especially the girlsThey were already "cleaning up" for the olympics so that foreigners would not be offended which in the end did not happen cause corona. As for anime yes the corona tiktok tourists infested the subcultures and japs are greedy and are bending over for western censorshipin short normies ruin everything
>>544192750>Why isn't anime special anymore?Normalfags got to it and it went mainstream
>>544194295why would you have them in the first place if you didn't want anybody to recognize them? a lot of people in the military are weebs, more than you'd think, and I am sure I am not the only person who knew what they were. with anime there's at least plausible deniability, but with horse cartoon, everybody knows what they are.
>>544192750Normalfags ruin everything.
>>544194109This is a normie.
Normalfags have made it a point to not allow autistic shut-ins to have their own space. First it was gaming, then anime, lookism, everything gets taken over by them. It first gets shilled by those who want to make money off the normals and then they adopt it and it's over at that point.
>>544192750>GAIJINSSabotuers more accurately
>>544192750What universe do you live in? You still get called a loser for liking anime. Just because your magic commander hugbox doesn’t, that doesn’t mean normies dont judge you all the same
>>544194788>Normiefags watch sports and sitcoms. The problem is when the fandom split to "woke fags" vs "edge lords". Gaijin sabotuers in funimation and crunchyroll fucked up the industry!
>>544192750All according to keikaku
>>544192750>anime isnt specialplenty of Good animes out there, expecialy the ones before the 2000s and beetwen 2005-2015 and mecha stuff.its just more isekai slop out there thats bad.>moeshit/slice of lifehave sex
>>544196273>plenty of good anime other>like *the three ovas from 30 years ago that people have mentioned in every thread since 4chan’s inception* That’s what two hours?
>>544196357>3 ovasmuch more than that and evangelion is shite
>>544192750Just watch stuff with the socially unacceptable fanservice if you want the tourists to call you a pedophile, it’s like repellant. All they care about is shounenshit and aura farming
>>544192750It went from underground ultra violence to child friendly. Althought some of them nowadays have an edgier feeling to them, nothing tops the Old School stuff you had to go to Mom and Pop Video Stores just to get it, in the same isle as those Faces of Death Videos. Don't get me wrong Hiragashi was fucked up, but I feel like this trope is copied alot nowadays.
