It was underground popular in the 90s, now it's almost completely normiecore, parents aren't asking kids "what are you watching" it's "what anime are you watching"
There is none, and the few ones that exist are fricking dogshit. The best days of anime are behind us. All this new fricking dogshit sucks my fricking ass its so fricking shit. Zoomers fricking ruin everything

Unironically this.

Just finished rewatching interspecies reviewers. God it was so comfy. The best type of world building is done by having sex.
It's a shame that FUNimation cucked everybody from a second season, the manga really got interesting where the show left off
Frick that homosexual anime its supposed to be a fricking ecchi yet theres fricking none of it where the frick are the breasts and pantyshots in this fricking bullshit.
Also it’s not a coincidence that there’s been a growing amount of trannies as more men continue to consume girly anime like K-On or whatever flavor of the month romance/moe anime.
Dunno, bro. All those marvel netflix shows had troony writers. And all the Star Wars shit too. Those two autistic cartoons too, probably, but I didn't check because who cares lmao.
> Dunno, bro. All those marvel netflix shows had troony writers. And all the Star Wars shit too.
Oh you mean those shows where the real main character gets showed up by le strong independent female? Or Star Wars who has been pushing the whole “force is female” shit for a decade now? C’mon now..
>all the people born after 2000 responding like they know
Anime was NERD SHIT until the 2010s, kids may have seen it on Cinemaphile but sex havers were not watching Angry monkeys yelling or Stretchy Pirate. Hot Topic was a major factor in pushing it mainstream, but it wasn't until the mall collapsed and the merch went to walmart that it became mainstream.
Like this guy using Cinemaphile as evidence of the "mainstream", so new to the website he doesn't realize we were the anime obsessed IT virgins of the early 00s and were IN NO WAY popular.
My friend has two kids and can bench press 400 pounds and he was (still is) obsessed with Bleach. Loves other anime too like Samurai Champloo, Rurouni Kenshin or Hellsing.
That's great, you know an anomaly. Keep in mind zoomers have less sex than any generation prior, so the rise of anime has coincided with a decrease in sexual activity. There are other factors certainly, but saying that anime watchers have sex more often than Chad Quarterback is cope beyond. It may be popular in the modern era, but in the early 2000s it was not mainstream at all, you were lucky if your town had a specialty store selling evangelism DVDs.
I'll tell you what happened, the genocide of those 90's kid bullies is what happened. With the war against them all but won in the early 2000's, all types of weirdo freaks were no longer being bullied and kept in the shadows, and now they flaunt their degeneracy for all to see like it's normal or something.
funniest thing is bullying still happens but now it's adult style bullying where kids bully for core characteristics that can't be changed without YEARS of effort.
like my nephew is getting bullied for not being smart coz my moron sis enrolled him in an engineering prep school(the kid has no interest in engineering or stem stuff he's a creative type).
how tf is that kid gonna survive without loads of mental trauma idk, my brother in law won't accept that my sis gave the kid moron genetics from my family instead of his chad genetics
nah it was still going up until about 2010, when people realized the power of places like tumblr and twitter for finding like minded weirdos and then blocking everyone who would bully you creating an echo chamber for your bad behavior and habits and basically raising your self incorrectly with no punishment. bullies were still alive and well by like 2007 from what i remember.
It's very odd to see the nerds pining for the bullies as though they were actually the bullies of their era. Reality is they just want someone to vicariously inflict violence for them.
>War against them
What? They still exist. They just come in different flavors now targeting different subjects like fatties. Bullies can and will in fact also be gamers
Where did this meme come from where bullies suddenly disappeared? If anything, it's for worse because of the internet. I'd gladly take ONE ass beating than have that one ass beating be boardcasted to everyone I know and people who have no idea I existed before said ass beating. Kids aren't more sensitive. They are just more elaborate with their bullying.
I graduated high school in 2010 and I don't remember much "getting pushed into lockers" type stuff but we would do stuff like single out the theater kids and force them to sing in front of girls. Pin down the freshman team and threaten to molest them etc.
why are people coping and saying pokemon and dbz was considered anime. it never fricking was, it was just a cartoon. anime was definitely not popular till about 2005 when full metal alchemist and shit like naruto broke through with normies. anyone that has gone to conventions can tell you the exact years anime became popular with normies because they ruined every single con around 2009-2012 on top of them overcrowding cons. after that the anime fandom was irreversible, went from niche to normie. these days you see teens walking around in cosplay shamelessly in malls and in public.
>now
always was. average zoomer wasn't even born yet and anime was popular in the west even then. thinking anime was ever some super secret nerdy thing makes you seem like a moron. its a medium with endless content anyone could watch and enjoy.
>all western animation is made for gay women and trannies.
I don't get why anime fans who get called out fall back on crying about cartoons. Bro the person calling you a troony thinks all adults watching animation is wrong.
the person calling you a troony for watching anime is pretty much exclusively "watching" criterion movies(as in not actually watching them but saying they are for credibility)
Wrong. We saw exactly what your average Cinemaphileedditor too scared to post on Cinemaphile likes on this board over the 2010s
With more and more of you Cinemaphileedditors flooding in, we saw an increase of anime threads which also came with an increase of capeshit and pleb dogshit like john wick acceptance.
You can see up until about 2013 anime threads were a dime a dozen and the plebslop threads were made by people from other boards which would then have them getting upset and calling people here hipsters
then slowly bane cancer gave you guys a trojan horse and we saw flood of pleb acceptance >capeshit acceptance >homosexual pleb Cinemaphile entry level anime threads every other day >general mass plebbery
Now? Even entry level trash like criterion(as you can see by this plebs post
the person calling you a troony for watching anime is pretty much exclusively "watching" criterion movies(as in not actually watching them but saying they are for credibility)
) is considered "high brow"
You can deny it all you want, but if you're not a newshit then you know

Cinemaphile was never that good of a board man. even before baneposting and /misc/tards made it a fast board. you need to logoff and touch grass.
>I don't get why anime fans who get called out fall back on crying about cartoons
Have you looked at Cinemaphile in the last decade? Hey, let's check the catalogue, What's the first thread I see?
i think it was top popularity around 2010 -+ couple years. like you'd sometimes see people casually outside in some anime influenced clothing.
i'm sure it's nowdays more popular in viewerships and so on, but i don't really see people irl going crazy about it like they used to
It's just become normalized. If you were an anime nerd in the 2000's/2010s you'd flaunt it as a part of your personality, now a ton of people in their 20's who work at an office have watched whatever popular anime is out. It's like how if you made watching CSI a lifestyle you'd be considered weird even though a bunch of boomers watch all those crime shows. "Watches anime" stopped being special.

One oddity is that anime/manga hasn't trickled into broader American pop culture.
Like how, even in the 2000s, you'd see network TV shows feature somebody holding an (off-brand) gamepad playing a generic FPS while Atari-era noises played. And a character might talk about that game, but in such a way that suggested the writer didn't know how vidya worked.
That was at least "I guess this is a thing with the youths?" levels of representation. But anime is just totally shut out. You never see it.
What the frick is happening here? Her face looks like a jack-o-lantern made by a kid with Down's Syndrome. Her hands look like plastic McDonalds french fries you'd get in those toy kitchens when you're a kid. Her eyebrows look like they were stolen off Eugene Levy.
Any adult who watches this and takes it seriously is mentally ill.
couldn't imagine living with such moronic self-imposed barriers. If you enjoy something do it if not don't. Don't do it or stop doing it because of "muh age" wtf
i know, it is also fun and entertaining which is why i watch it
it's art

The anime had an extremely polarized reception because it went for a more grounded visual style than the manga and doesn't look like every other battle shonen on the market. I thought it was great because I'd read the manga and would always rather an anime provides another angle on the same material rather than slavishly adapts it, but people fricking hated it for that so what do I know.

Maybe it was fricking dog shit and skipped scenes like the little girl getting cut in half by chainsaw man, you fricking moron. I'm so glad it failed while bocchi the rock succeeded. And the director for that is now doing frieren which is bigger than chainsaws man
Pretty background with cheap animation with characters that look and act the same as any other anime. It's factory produced slop to be consumed and discarded. It's the opposite of art.
Yeah. They should watch mature western media like Lovecraft Country, HBO Watchmen, Get Out, Black Mirror, Velma, Euphoria, Peacemaker, Turning Red, Family Guy, and Stranger Things.
>gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon cause that cartoon has got the book anime babes that make me think the wrong thing
homie that was a number one song nearly 30 years ago now and I'd be willing to bet it wasn't the first one that made a reference to Sailor Moon, just the first one I can think of.
Streaming. Normalgays were never able to keep up with current series until simulsubs became a thing. Being able to torrent required at least room temperature level IQ. It's why you find more blacks into anime than ever. The morons that used to wait for shit to get put on R1 DVD releases or debut on adult swim a year or two after it released in japan now just watch crunchyoll.
It's real funny watching all the shit I got laughed at and bullied for by normies 20 years ago become normie culture today. Real fricking funny. Ha. Ha.
Yeah the guy who supposedly has 12 kids 4baby mamas, works 80 hrs a week, sleeps in a sleepingbag on the tesla factory floor, plays eldenring, gets hosed down on israeli friends yachts, tweets all day......is totally watching anime! That does it, im getting the brainchip....heckerino!
>x thing becomes popular >EEEEUUYGGH ITS ITS SLOP ITS SLOP TRASH TRASH TRASH STOOOP WATCHING IT STOOOOOOP
what are you people going to do when you run out of obscure things to like to make up for your lack of personality? just have a nice day hopefully so we can be spared of your pointless shitposting and spergouts.
>Seiran Island is a paradise where perverted sex is permitted by law. The transfer student Junnosuke is a proud virgin that steadfastly values chastity. He believes that there should be no sex without love, counter to the rules imposed on the island residents. However, those who do not have sex are subject to immediate arrest, fellatio and intercourse! Will he and his friends be able to escape the clutches of the student council and disciplinary committee, known as the ‘SS’? Their battle to keep their virginity begins!
Japan is one of the best countries in the world but I don’t watch anime at all anymore, or cartoons in general, people over the age of 25 who watch animated media tend to be spergs or social outcasts.
couldn't imagine living with such moronic self-imposed barriers. If you enjoy something do it if not don't. Don't do it or stop doing it because of "muh age" wtf
>muh old anime was good
No, it's been always shit. There's probably less than 10 directors who tried to make more mature anime. Most of them don't work anymore or are dead.
it's funny that weebs think Sailor Moon is irrelevant with people under 30 yet I see kids still being really into it. I'm sure some of it is parents getting kids into anime, but a lot of it is the franchise just holding up.
In the anglo-americansphere it became mainstream with SAO (after videogame became mainstream a few years earlier) around 2012 and consolidated with SnK
In other countries it already was more popular per capita
this thread literally shows you dumb humans are nowadays
it's popular because netflix and the internet
90% of those people didnt give a shit about anime before, but netflix and the internet shoved it in their face, and normies pickup everything popular and suck it in
My son is 8 and is starting to watch anime because all the kids in his school does. I look down on him for it because he is watching it to fit in whereas I watched it because I was a loser who enjoyed it.
If you consider irresponsible toothless alcoholic/drug addicted morons in ghettos and trailer parks "Chads" then sure, I guess that could fit into your moronic worldview.
it has always been popular. Why do moronic weebs think it's some kind of super underground genre. Not only you gays are delusional, have a shit taste too. >>>Cinemaphile is that way sisters
It depends, anime has always been popular yes but only if we're talking about Shonen anime or Mecha shit (not Evangelion)
When you go deeper and you get to degenerate troony coomer anime that's when it was never popular and only started being popular now thanks to zoomers being open about their sexual fetishes, which is why you see a rise in troonyism among the younger generation, it's all grooming, all thanks to anime and bad faith individuals who say that being a degenerate is okay
anime and video games ARE more popular and mainstream now. So how come when I go to a gathering, it's all just autists and trannies? When I was in school, there was a clique of nerds, and we were all somewhat normal.
it still has traditional values on beauty and morals, at least part of the media does, some of it is degenerate, but it's not shoved down your throat by mainstream propaganda and louded as some sort of virtuous just morals like western media is. western media has become universally and widely ugly and degenerate
Western media has been in the gutter for well over a decade, and everyone thinks nerd shit is cool now. So you saw an influx of actual new anime fans, and a lot of posers just wanting to fit in at the same time
the vast majority of people are moronic shut-in losers with zero social skills nowadays, which is exactly who anime appeals to
people who get laid and have friends don't watch anime
i wish these darn celebrities didnt act like theyre so cool with theeir homosexual ass shit
its always like some ghibli movie or something
kanye is the only cool celibrity with anime
Nah, manga takes a giant steamy shit on western comics, and it's not even close.
The only way you could think otherwise is if you're one of those nu-/misc/ homosexual white supremacists who think western culture is superior only because it tongues homosexual buttholes such as your own the hardest.
Honestly, anime has been popular for like 20 years now, the only people it's not popular with are old white people.
Frankly they need to up the degeneracy so they can filter even more annoying white people.
>now
moron it's been mainstream for 25 years at least, every kid watched Pokémon. And Dragon Ball, Naruto, Yugio etc, it was always popular in the west since 2000
and all of those kids would call it a cartoon not anime. cope all you want. in fact most people grew out of those "animes" because they were kid cartoons, only the weird kids kept watching those shows and were considered nerds. naruto, full metal alchemist, and cowboy bebop all introduced anime to people on the west through toonami. you couldnt watch naruto or any other anime before that without getting anime bootlegs or through a friend burning a cd for you. incredibly niche.
I remember anime shows being big in the 1980's, just not in terms of merchandising. The sons of well-off boomers were into Gen X stuff like their older brothers (Transformers, Star Wars, etc.) because they already had the toys lying around, but other people were watching >reruns of Astro Boy >The Adventures of the Little Prince >Sherlock Hound >Superbook >The Mysterious Cities of Gold
Hardly a golden age, but it was part of the landscape.
which are?
you mean the constant power fantasies where spoiled viewers relate to characters who are given everything they need and want for success?
japs have nothing complain about, they have a safe functioning society
>2022 Japan suicide rate: 17.5 suicides per 100,000 inhabitants >2022 America suicide rate 14.3 suicides per 100,000 inhabitants.
surely they have nothing to complain about
>South Korea. With 25.2 deaths per 100,000 people in 2022, the country topped the 38-member Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in terms of suicide rates
finally they beat japan at something!
Dude, sailor moon is the most normie tier anime for western people to like, it's more popular than futurama.
And Musk is just hoping nerds think he's cool.
You know Billie Eilish didn't watch Sailor Moon. At most she watched a compilation while at a party and said "YOOO THIS DOPE AS FRICK" and left after watching 3 minutes
It would appear people understand the difference between "mainstream" and "kinda maybe .001% is available to even watch and only in a dubbed and heavily edited format, and is only watched by a tiny tiny group of headband wearing dweebs in school or children"
Regularly see zoomers wearing anime shirts to the gym like kagame La kill and chainsaw man. Back in my day anything but DBZ was unacceptable. Also, regularly see them reading manga on their phones while working out.
They're still normies as shit. Ask them if the read 20tg century boys or My Home Hero or Flowers of evil. They will still laugh at you if you wore a madoka Magicka shirt.
What do you mean what happened? It's been popular since the 90's now its just popular with more people
It was underground popular in the 90s, now it's almost completely normiecore, parents aren't asking kids "what are you watching" it's "what anime are you watching"
yeah when the entirety of western media is dogshit for everyone but women and gays what did you expect to happen?
Anime is fricking dogshit too, zoomers ruined it by calling everything sexist so now theres no more pantyshots or anything fun left.
there is still plenty of overly horny and fan service filled non ecchi anime. literally just a skill issue and proves you don't watch or know shit.
There is none, and the few ones that exist are fricking dogshit. The best days of anime are behind us. All this new fricking dogshit sucks my fricking ass its so fricking shit. Zoomers fricking ruin everything

We didn‘t discover anime. We discovered watching anime and getting laid
Zoomers are by far the most sexless generation thoughbeit

Fixed that for you.
it was Japanimation back then, different thing
zoomers forgot to grow out of it

Nope. If you ever speak the word anime uou go on the sex offenders list. It's about as popular as trannies.
Autism on the rise
Both pictured people are autistic
Anime caters to the autistic with its mind-numbingly overexplanatory dialogue
>OH NO HE JUST [recites literally everything that just happened in word form]
>I AM [describes emotional state in word form]
Anime has been pushing the envelope for years. Interspecies reviewers (2020) walked so poor things (2023) could run.
Just finished rewatching interspecies reviewers. God it was so comfy. The best type of world building is done by having sex.

Also it’s not a coincidence that there’s been a growing amount of trannies as more men continue to consume girly anime like K-On or whatever flavor of the month romance/moe anime.
And yet all the trannies are writers, artists, colorists for comics, cartoons and tv shows. Curious.
Yeah, and notice a majority of them are writing feminized shit like Steven Universe. Nobody’s going trans over FOTN or Primal.
Dunno, bro. All those marvel netflix shows had troony writers. And all the Star Wars shit too. Those two autistic cartoons too, probably, but I didn't check because who cares lmao.

nah it was still going up until about 2010, when people realized the power of places like tumblr and twitter for finding like minded weirdos and then blocking everyone who would bully you creating an echo chamber for your bad behavior and habits and basically raising your self incorrectly with no punishment. bullies were still alive and well by like 2007 from what i remember.
It's very odd to see the nerds pining for the bullies as though they were actually the bullies of their era. Reality is they just want someone to vicariously inflict violence for them.
It's just a longing to be young again, and to know about this "secret thing" that the rest of American culture wasn't tuned into yet. Pretty normal.
>War against them
What? They still exist. They just come in different flavors now targeting different subjects like fatties. Bullies can and will in fact also be gamers
Where did this meme come from where bullies suddenly disappeared? If anything, it's for worse because of the internet. I'd gladly take ONE ass beating than have that one ass beating be boardcasted to everyone I know and people who have no idea I existed before said ass beating. Kids aren't more sensitive. They are just more elaborate with their bullying.
I graduated high school in 2010 and I don't remember much "getting pushed into lockers" type stuff but we would do stuff like single out the theater kids and force them to sing in front of girls. Pin down the freshman team and threaten to molest them etc.
Did you ever molest those kids Anon?
It's a known fact that if you couldn't escape the leg ride before my finger entered your ass you'd never make it to the state tourney.
>t. cole phelps
why are people coping and saying pokemon and dbz was considered anime. it never fricking was, it was just a cartoon. anime was definitely not popular till about 2005 when full metal alchemist and shit like naruto broke through with normies. anyone that has gone to conventions can tell you the exact years anime became popular with normies because they ruined every single con around 2009-2012 on top of them overcrowding cons. after that the anime fandom was irreversible, went from niche to normie. these days you see teens walking around in cosplay shamelessly in malls and in public.
>now
always was. average zoomer wasn't even born yet and anime was popular in the west even then. thinking anime was ever some super secret nerdy thing makes you seem like a moron. its a medium with endless content anyone could watch and enjoy.
Celebrities are pretentious parasites
Anime will never be popular and you will never be a woman, troony
are you a gay woman? cause if you like animation and are a man, anime is all there is. all western animation is made for gay women and trannies.
>all western animation is made for gay women and trannies.
I don't get why anime fans who get called out fall back on crying about cartoons. Bro the person calling you a troony thinks all adults watching animation is wrong.
t. capeshit enjoyer
the person calling you a troony for watching anime is pretty much exclusively "watching" criterion movies(as in not actually watching them but saying they are for credibility)
Nah, it's hollywoodsloppers and capeshitters.
Wrong. We saw exactly what your average Cinemaphileedditor too scared to post on Cinemaphile likes on this board over the 2010s
With more and more of you Cinemaphileedditors flooding in, we saw an increase of anime threads which also came with an increase of capeshit and pleb dogshit like john wick acceptance.
You can see up until about 2013 anime threads were a dime a dozen and the plebslop threads were made by people from other boards which would then have them getting upset and calling people here hipsters
then slowly bane cancer gave you guys a trojan horse and we saw flood of pleb acceptance
>capeshit acceptance
>homosexual pleb Cinemaphile entry level anime threads every other day
>general mass plebbery
Now? Even entry level trash like criterion(as you can see by this plebs post
) is considered "high brow"
You can deny it all you want, but if you're not a newshit then you know
Cinemaphile was never that good of a board man. even before baneposting and /misc/tards made it a fast board. you need to logoff and touch grass.
tldr you're a slipper.
>I don't get why anime fans who get called out fall back on crying about cartoons
Have you looked at Cinemaphile in the last decade? Hey, let's check the catalogue, What's the first thread I see?
Oh...
>now
Is Musk hooking up with that troon or something
anime is the only medium left where women can be attractive and sexy. trannies HATE it.
Every single troony have an anime avatar, anime is made for trannies by trannies
trannies watch shit like she ra, amazing digital circus, and hazbin hotel.
He's a shitskin from Cinemaphileeddit, same as OP
this is the type of shit they do because they're scared of posting on Cinemaphile
>scared
Cinemaphile was always a shit board if you actually watch anime. just like how Cinemaphile is a shit board if you actually play vidya.
Didn't ask, troony shitskin coward
All new animes are made for trannies, yes
The cool animes are a thing of the past
what anime is on musk's shirt?
kakegurui. its mid.
Thanks. Was only interested in it xause the girls look kinda hot on the shirt but they look kind of ugly in the show
>What happened?
about 35 years
You're about 30 years late.
That last season really spoiled it for me.
i think it was top popularity around 2010 -+ couple years. like you'd sometimes see people casually outside in some anime influenced clothing.
i'm sure it's nowdays more popular in viewerships and so on, but i don't really see people irl going crazy about it like they used to
go to any convention and the majority of merch and cosplay will be anime related.
don't be so hard on yourself anon. being trans must be tough.
It's just become normalized. If you were an anime nerd in the 2000's/2010s you'd flaunt it as a part of your personality, now a ton of people in their 20's who work at an office have watched whatever popular anime is out. It's like how if you made watching CSI a lifestyle you'd be considered weird even though a bunch of boomers watch all those crime shows. "Watches anime" stopped being special.
makes sense I guess. not that special thing anymore.
One oddity is that anime/manga hasn't trickled into broader American pop culture.
Like how, even in the 2000s, you'd see network TV shows feature somebody holding an (off-brand) gamepad playing a generic FPS while Atari-era noises played. And a character might talk about that game, but in such a way that suggested the writer didn't know how vidya worked.
That was at least "I guess this is a thing with the youths?" levels of representation. But anime is just totally shut out. You never see it.
Western cartoons constantly reference shit like Akira bike slide, the Sailor Moon transformation sequence, and DBZ, though.
We won
To think...all this started on a mongolian basketweaving forum
This isn't a fricking victory. I want normies out of my hobby. Zoomers will only further ruin it with their idiocy.
You think this is bad but tcgs, dnd, and western comics might as well be dead after all being co-opted by alphabet people and minorities.
Can we purge them with e-girl and guro?
>I want normies out of my hobby.
It's far too late for that. Onlyfans zoomers cosplay FotM slop now. Anime is dead.
>JJK
>FotM
Do you not know what that term means?
That shit's been a "FotM" for like 3 fricking years now.
Jjk is for women and homosexuals. The women are ugly if they're not used up roasties
>The women are ugly
There is at least one hot one, but she's only interested in money and grooming her little brother.
Everyone will forget about it once it's over. It's trash. It's FotM slop
>One of the most popular movies on here that incels praise is a romance movie where a guy turns into a woman
Priceless.
never heard of ranma 1/2?
In Japan only children and incels watch anime
It's the same here in the US.
something like 80% of nip men are incels so that checks out.
Speaking of anime, is this OK?
Christ
that's a penis.
Nah it's just a generously applied blur
Where can I buy
Is that a poster or is it a...a...
What the frick?
Not over here, if you walk around with banime here you get your shit kicked in.
Grown men watching childrens cartoons.. worst timeline.
was she even alive when Sailor Moon was on cartoon network?
She was babby
the girls have no wieners
and if he does, he gets put out of his misery eventually
What the frick is happening here? Her face looks like a jack-o-lantern made by a kid with Down's Syndrome. Her hands look like plastic McDonalds french fries you'd get in those toy kitchens when you're a kid. Her eyebrows look like they were stolen off Eugene Levy.
Any adult who watches this and takes it seriously is mentally ill.
didn't read troony
You are trying too hard.
I don't know, but it's embarrassing. Anime is pure trash. Adults definitely shouldn't be proud of watching this shit.
it's art
Doesn't mean much. It's childish and very derivative.
>NOOOOO START SUPPORTING PROUD QUEER BLACK FOLX CHUD
i know, it is also fun and entertaining which is why i watch it
I love kobeni so much it hurts. I will never make her feel better with a silly joke or a non sexual hug.
Didn't this piece of shit flop? 1735?
The anime had an extremely polarized reception because it went for a more grounded visual style than the manga and doesn't look like every other battle shonen on the market. I thought it was great because I'd read the manga and would always rather an anime provides another angle on the same material rather than slavishly adapts it, but people fricking hated it for that so what do I know.
Maybe it was fricking dog shit and skipped scenes like the little girl getting cut in half by chainsaw man, you fricking moron. I'm so glad it failed while bocchi the rock succeeded. And the director for that is now doing frieren which is bigger than chainsaws man
>derivative
Like culture?
Pretty background with cheap animation with characters that look and act the same as any other anime. It's factory produced slop to be consumed and discarded. It's the opposite of art.
Just say you're a contrarian homosexual to make it short
>Goyslopman
uhm sweetey it's called kinoCinemaphileman
This is one of the few good anime released in the past years.
This. If we didn't have so many loser trannime fans and they would instead support quality content we would have She-Hulk season 2 already.
You're a homosexual and you're gay.
Yeah. They should watch mature western media like Lovecraft Country, HBO Watchmen, Get Out, Black Mirror, Velma, Euphoria, Peacemaker, Turning Red, Family Guy, and Stranger Things.
Soooooo much more mature.
What's wrong with black mirror.
Anti-White Woke Goyslop. Especially the last season.
>gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon cause that cartoon has got the book anime babes that make me think the wrong thing
homie that was a number one song nearly 30 years ago now and I'd be willing to bet it wasn't the first one that made a reference to Sailor Moon, just the first one I can think of.
Literally fricking who
IT'S BEEN ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOKED AT ME
Streaming. Normalgays were never able to keep up with current series until simulsubs became a thing. Being able to torrent required at least room temperature level IQ. It's why you find more blacks into anime than ever. The morons that used to wait for shit to get put on R1 DVD releases or debut on adult swim a year or two after it released in japan now just watch crunchyoll.
We stopped bullying losers and as a result society is getting worse
autists are still bullied.
But so many people like to pretend they’re “sigma gooners” now
moe is real anime
All entertainment is terrible slop now.
Based
>that paw
I'm sorry anon, but I legit lost my shit laughing.
>is black, collect a manga about a big white woman.
Give it back tyrone.
gr8 taste soul brotha
It's degenerate and used to further dumb down the populace. Anime was only good to watch when liking it was social suicide.
It's real funny watching all the shit I got laughed at and bullied for by normies 20 years ago become normie culture today. Real fricking funny. Ha. Ha.
Yeah the guy who supposedly has 12 kids 4baby mamas, works 80 hrs a week, sleeps in a sleepingbag on the tesla factory floor, plays eldenring, gets hosed down on israeli friends yachts, tweets all day......is totally watching anime! That does it, im getting the brainchip....heckerino!
The discussion is how it’s being pushed in the mainstream not if he actually watches it
don't forget he also practices jujitsu regularly to the point where he got seriously injured and his spine fused!
>x thing becomes popular
>EEEEUUYGGH ITS ITS SLOP ITS SLOP TRASH TRASH TRASH STOOOP WATCHING IT STOOOOOOP
what are you people going to do when you run out of obscure things to like to make up for your lack of personality? just have a nice day hopefully so we can be spared of your pointless shitposting and spergouts.
>tranime
You’d be hard pressed to find a troony that doesn’t have an anime pfp
>Seiran Island is a paradise where perverted sex is permitted by law. The transfer student Junnosuke is a proud virgin that steadfastly values chastity. He believes that there should be no sex without love, counter to the rules imposed on the island residents. However, those who do not have sex are subject to immediate arrest, fellatio and intercourse! Will he and his friends be able to escape the clutches of the student council and disciplinary committee, known as the ‘SS’? Their battle to keep their virginity begins!
kino
Japan is one of the best countries in the world but I don’t watch anime at all anymore, or cartoons in general, people over the age of 25 who watch animated media tend to be spergs or social outcasts.
couldn't imagine living with such moronic self-imposed barriers. If you enjoy something do it if not don't. Don't do it or stop doing it because of "muh age" wtf
>muh old anime was good
No, it's been always shit. There's probably less than 10 directors who tried to make more mature anime. Most of them don't work anymore or are dead.
>mature animation
lmfao Black person
Yes, mature animation. Animation that adults who love film can enjoy.
whatever nerd
There are two kinds of people.
People who like anime.
And people who pretend not to like anime.
>She actually is 27 and married
Great artist.
it has been since the 90s
only difference now is that people aren't limited to what makes it onto western TV or what they can find on tape
If you like anime you're either
Japanese
a pedo
a troony
an autist
or most likely, just the last three.
chad literally watches anime while he cums on your oneitis.
i know it but i don't wanna say
pls
Boku no Pico
Why does this show make people so mad?
its a dead meme you dip.
Where are the based and redpilled Evanjelyon celebrities?
Is there anything more butthurt and pathetic than an animegay when people make fun of his pedotoons?
yeah, the dudes who spend countless hours seething about a medium they don't even watch.
Shut the frick up!1
People got taste now
she's right you know
Probably. Give it a few centuries when the Japanese eventually go extinct. People will look back at anime with awe.
I think anthropologists will make fun of them
Tldr version?
He thinks anime is the greatest art form of our era
>high anime
>I teach in the middle of nowhere rural village in a 3rd world country and half of all my students draw anime.
What if anime is just a gateway?
it's funny that weebs think Sailor Moon is irrelevant with people under 30 yet I see kids still being really into it. I'm sure some of it is parents getting kids into anime, but a lot of it is the franchise just holding up.
In the anglo-americansphere it became mainstream with SAO (after videogame became mainstream a few years earlier) around 2012 and consolidated with SnK
In other countries it already was more popular per capita
SAO is a masterpiece that only has 12 episodes prove me wrong.
>What happened?
ironic weebs made them mainstream
and everyone knows it.
Nerd Culture TM
Of course that homosexual Elon would be into yurishit. I bet he watches that degen BDSM yurishit that's airing right now.
Elmo is a try-hard homosexual but that show is straight. Yuri-bait but still straight.
mid fotmslop.
W-what BDSM yuri?
He watches the inferior gambling show.
this thread literally shows you dumb humans are nowadays
it's popular because netflix and the internet
90% of those people didnt give a shit about anime before, but netflix and the internet shoved it in their face, and normies pickup everything popular and suck it in
>anime is popular in the West now
What went wrong?
Every adult Sailor Moon fan I've come across IRL is fat.
My wife is a big Sailor Moon fan to the point she wants our daughter to watch it soon and she is thin.
How old is your daughter and are you okay with her being exposed with LGBT content? Sailor Moon features lesbians and cross-dressers.
Five and I don't really care
I am 130 pounds and 5 feet 11 inches tall, I took 15 pounds in 6 month
Good fat or bad fat?
Bad.
Society got real fricking dumb, thank god they have intelligent phone to do everything for them.
My son is 8 and is starting to watch anime because all the kids in his school does. I look down on him for it because he is watching it to fit in whereas I watched it because I was a loser who enjoyed it.
Can't be that much of a loser if you had a kid.
Tons of losers have kids every single day, what are you talking about? Losers have kids more than good people.
by "losers" you mean chads with no money that abandon their children
If you consider irresponsible toothless alcoholic/drug addicted morons in ghettos and trailer parks "Chads" then sure, I guess that could fit into your moronic worldview.
You know the term "frickboy" exists for a reason.
it's time to stop posting.
That's true.
Yeah but its been 17 years and I still post here.
it has always been popular. Why do moronic weebs think it's some kind of super underground genre. Not only you gays are delusional, have a shit taste too. >>>Cinemaphile is that way sisters
It depends, anime has always been popular yes but only if we're talking about Shonen anime or Mecha shit (not Evangelion)
When you go deeper and you get to degenerate troony coomer anime that's when it was never popular and only started being popular now thanks to zoomers being open about their sexual fetishes, which is why you see a rise in troonyism among the younger generation, it's all grooming, all thanks to anime and bad faith individuals who say that being a degenerate is okay
it’s always been popular, it’s just the people who used to bully you for it started watching it too you fricking dork
anime and video games ARE more popular and mainstream now. So how come when I go to a gathering, it's all just autists and trannies? When I was in school, there was a clique of nerds, and we were all somewhat normal.
Western cartoons do better at speaking to modern audiences than anime ever will.
actual gay
Too bad nobody watches them.
western cartoons haven't been relevant in almost 15 years.
it still has traditional values on beauty and morals, at least part of the media does, some of it is degenerate, but it's not shoved down your throat by mainstream propaganda and louded as some sort of virtuous just morals like western media is. western media has become universally and widely ugly and degenerate
Western media has been in the gutter for well over a decade, and everyone thinks nerd shit is cool now. So you saw an influx of actual new anime fans, and a lot of posers just wanting to fit in at the same time
>now
Where the frick have you been the past 20 years?
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY SECRET CLUB!!!!!11
who cares, it's garbage anyways
> water, no ice
Why?
Anime became popular thanks to Crunchyroll and other streaming services making it accessible. That's that.
Elon always looks like an alien LARPing as a human.
man I love dbz
t. spic
why didnt we listen
any good mystery anime or anime at all in the last 3-5 years?
i have high fever and need something to watch.
Anyone?
the vast majority of people are moronic shut-in losers with zero social skills nowadays, which is exactly who anime appeals to
people who get laid and have friends don't watch anime
They should just pull hollyslop from theaters and go all-in on Anime Features.
Anime is like porn. Looks great, the plots are shit, you shouldn't brag about watching it and it can quickly turn into an unhealthy obsession.
One of the better posts I've seen here recently.
i wish these darn celebrities didnt act like theyre so cool with theeir homosexual ass shit
its always like some ghibli movie or something
kanye is the only cool celibrity with anime
I love Kanye, I bet he has a massive BBC. My gf loves his music

>Also western comics are shit.
>Impling manga is any better
manga is any better
lol
literally me on the right
Nah, manga takes a giant steamy shit on western comics, and it's not even close.
The only way you could think otherwise is if you're one of those nu-/misc/ homosexual white supremacists who think western culture is superior only because it tongues homosexual buttholes such as your own the hardest.
least deranged chink
all anime is trash and for children.
I thought you would like it since you have the brain of a toddler and your mummy still wiped your bum for you at the age of 36.
we didn't gatekeep hard enough. Also western comics are shit.
>now
Honestly, anime has been popular for like 20 years now, the only people it's not popular with are old white people.
Frankly they need to up the degeneracy so they can filter even more annoying white people.
>now
moron it's been mainstream for 25 years at least, every kid watched Pokémon. And Dragon Ball, Naruto, Yugio etc, it was always popular in the west since 2000
and all of those kids would call it a cartoon not anime. cope all you want. in fact most people grew out of those "animes" because they were kid cartoons, only the weird kids kept watching those shows and were considered nerds. naruto, full metal alchemist, and cowboy bebop all introduced anime to people on the west through toonami. you couldnt watch naruto or any other anime before that without getting anime bootlegs or through a friend burning a cd for you. incredibly niche.
I remember anime shows being big in the 1980's, just not in terms of merchandising. The sons of well-off boomers were into Gen X stuff like their older brothers (Transformers, Star Wars, etc.) because they already had the toys lying around, but other people were watching
>reruns of Astro Boy
>The Adventures of the Little Prince
>Sherlock Hound
>Superbook
>The Mysterious Cities of Gold
Hardly a golden age, but it was part of the landscape.
once I started associating certain asian traits with anime story telling it clicked something in me and I no longer could enjoy anime
once you realize most anime is at some level a critique of japanese society you will enjoy it even more
which are?
you mean the constant power fantasies where spoiled viewers relate to characters who are given everything they need and want for success?
japs have nothing complain about, they have a safe functioning society
>All the men are born incels.
>Have to work 6 days a week under nightmare conditions.

>2022 Japan suicide rate: 17.5 suicides per 100,000 inhabitants
>2022 America suicide rate 14.3 suicides per 100,000 inhabitants.
surely they have nothing to complain about
>South Korea. With 25.2 deaths per 100,000 people in 2022, the country topped the 38-member Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in terms of suicide rates
finally they beat japan at something!
dysgenic losers with inflated israelite wealth, who gives a frick
Dude, sailor moon is the most normie tier anime for western people to like, it's more popular than futurama.
And Musk is just hoping nerds think he's cool.
You know Billie Eilish didn't watch Sailor Moon. At most she watched a compilation while at a party and said "YOOO THIS DOPE AS FRICK" and left after watching 3 minutes
It would appear people understand the difference between "mainstream" and "kinda maybe .001% is available to even watch and only in a dubbed and heavily edited format, and is only watched by a tiny tiny group of headband wearing dweebs in school or children"
Paranoia agent, Desert Punk, FLCL, DBZ are the only good anime. Anime is fricking stupid.
>FLCL
>anime that celebrates anime is the only good anime
I grew up on adult swim. When I watch FLCL I was a 15 year old moron. Dont know what to tell you.
Because Capeshit has gone full Woke.
Making all their superheroes either black, gay, ugly women, or all of the above.
Manga and Anime are the only place where you are allowed to have heterosexual non-black protagonists that can be cool and tough.
>What happened?

The meek has inherited the earth.
Anime is fricking gay.
Fricking tranime.
31 year old PhD student
Regularly see zoomers wearing anime shirts to the gym like kagame La kill and chainsaw man. Back in my day anything but DBZ was unacceptable. Also, regularly see them reading manga on their phones while working out.
They're still normies as shit. Ask them if the read 20tg century boys or My Home Hero or Flowers of evil. They will still laugh at you if you wore a madoka Magicka shirt.

Wtf that billionaire is just like me!
Trey was doing this before it was cool.
both are posers. they dont have enough time to watch actual animes. they maybe have seen one at one point and like it a lot, nothing more.
