Why can't western media do sweet romance stories that cater to men? Even in the Hollywood stuff that's supposed to be wholesome and feature quality women, none of them are virgins and there are lots of single mothers. The nips are btfo'ing us.
Why can't western media do sweet romance stories that cater to men?
Grow up, you can't be a teenager all your life.
>romance is for kids
>maturity means behaving like a monkey and living to put your penis in as many holes as possible
You're not mature.
Your idea of romance is for kids, yeah. Notice how you posted a cartoon, not even a Japanese movie.
In what way is it childish? Her saving herself for him? Them not having casual sex before deciding to date? Her not riding the wiener carousel for a few years before "sett.ing down"?
>Her not riding the wiener carousel for a few years before "sett.ing down"?
Japanese women are pretty notorious for this anon...
Sure, but I'm not talking about irl nippon women. Anyway, chinese women are genuinely pretty chaste.
I doubt the average christmas cake has had as many dicks as the average 18 year old over here.
Introducing your opinion with an anime trope that doesn't exist in real life isn't a great start
>it isn't real because... because I said so!
Yes.
Maybe more men would want you if you hadn't taken 200 dicks before you were 25.
I have never taken a dick in my life
Lying on the internet doesn't change reality.
Also the content of the post is still 100% accurate, seething that I used a different word doesn't change that.
>white women aren't really that loose by international standards
lol
I think he was referring to the use of the term christmas cake.
>no man-hating feminism
oh no it's moronic ahahahaha
I've been here in Japan for 5 years and both of your views are skewed. Japanese women cheat like no tomorrow. The western idea of love does not exist in irl relationships, only in media like anime. Christmas cake is definitely a real concept. The Japanese idea of love is like a business partner, you have kids then sex stops and you start seeing a side girl. The bro type relationships common in the west and in anime are not real here, of you are looking for anything like anime it didn't exist, is extremely exaggerated. It actually gets even lonelier when you finally become fluent in the language. There is a reason the gaijin bubble exists. Also the country is being flooded with poojeets of all smells and countries, and Muslims as well
Yesterday I saw one of Lawson's newest ads on TV, there was an Indian in it.
People who live in cities are always the worst trash of humanity. They don't represent everyone. Anyone with self respect wouldn't acknowledge you even being there.
>It actually gets even lonelier when you finally become fluent in the language.
How come?
You are thinking Tokyo girls, that's where they got those figures that like 1/3 of women did a VA shoot.
The rest of the country is very much a bunch of bumpkin communities surrounded by mountains, that's where the purity stereotype comes from supposedly.
No they're not, Japan is notorious for being a sexless society full of vegetarian men and femcels who have nobody to frick them
Statistically the only ones having alot of sex that aren't married are a very small percentage that are usually involved in drugs or porn or other shady shit
I bet you think the 0.9% non Japanese living there is having all the sex or something moronic, don't you?
How is it an anime trope, it's literally what the guy he's responding to is referencing and speaks volumes as to how the culture views promiscuity. East Asia as a whole, actually. Unmarried women who sleep around are considered undesirable, especially past 25. They're pretty open about the narrative fact that all a promiscuous woman is good for is pumping and dumping and it's not something as a woman you'd want to end up as
it's funny you say that, rising rates of virginity, loneliness, porn consumption, loss of sexual drive and losing interest in marriage are all rising in the west, where even feminists are now arguing and try to damage control the loss of love in society without taking any action
tldr, frick off israelite
Maybe one day we will be as bad as Japan.
>maybe
Depends on your definition of worst
I think Japan literally has the most % of virgins in the entire world, both the men and the women. In fact I think more of the women than the men because the men having casual sex are gigantic manprostitutes
As the number of lonely virgins of both sexes increases the more sex the people who are having it have
Thats just not realistic to most people anon. Im sorry, but once you make peace with it life can look better
Yeah, I guess. Thought there'd be more romancegays here though.
I'm a romancegay anon, but honestly, I tend to be more of a reader and at yuri shit. Not because I prefer it or anything, but most modern writers can't write men, but are entirely equipped to write two women. Frick, the number of stories I've read the last few years that have dudes crying like kids and whimpering like a girl is insane.
There are plenty of romantics here anon. But you are not a romantic and clearly have a chip on your shoulder over white women. You are idealising media designed for teenagers and believing that’s what the women are like from that culture, because of missing out on young love in your own. That’s like a Chinese person watching Hannah Montana and thinking that’s the average American teenagers experience. It’s nobody’s fault you didn’t experience young love, but it is not true love.
>young love isn't true love
You clearly didn't experience the good stuff either. I get the impression that you've never really had a satisfying relationship and that you've been drifting between short-term, loveless entanglements and never been able to tell someone that you love them without knowing, deep down, that it isn't true.
They are children. Your idea of romance is some childish nonsense that essentially ends before the relationship begins.
Go watch movies for kids from Disney channel. They feature teenagers that don't 'ride the wiener carousel'.
>Your idea of romance is some childish nonsense that essentially ends before the relationship begins.
I have no idea how this relates to anime romance. Love that blossoms during middle school, between frens, is "childish nonsense"? How does it end before the relationship begins?
>Love that blossoms during middle school, between frens, is "childish nonsense"?
Usually yes. It's nothing more but a crush. And you can definitely find movies like that in the West, but for some reason you look at dramas or sex comedies and claim that such relationships are never portrayed in Western fiction.
Name one with a happy ending and no cucking. Genuinely interested.
> Why can't western media do sweet romance stori-ACK!
stuff like picrel are made by competent people and manage to convey mature themes while retaining it’s innocence and despite being made for kids it’s still a good overall product enjoyable by all ages, unlike your manchild tranime wish fulfillment fantasies made for pathetic kissless virgins to cope with their loneliness
You need to grow up and stop obsessing over shitty animes. It’s as simple as that.
>It's nothing more but a crush.
??? Plenty of people go on to marry their jk sweethearts. It was even more popular in the past.
>Plenty of people go on to marry their jk sweethearts
No, usually they want to play around / find themselves in their college years first, and even if the boy is willing to tolerate this relationship rest period she'll have literally been trying to frick as many different men as possible for almost four years in the meantime and I can't really blame him if that bothers him
With "plenty," I meant a few percent. It used to be much more.
>and even if the boy is willing to tolerate this relationship rest period she'll have literally been trying to frick as many different men as possible for almost four year
Do some men really accept this? lmao
The dating scene is fricking grim for Japanese men, I knew one (he was an exchange student for two semesters) that tolerated this with gritted teeth because he felt like they would at least get back together after they graduated and that there was "no hope otherwise"
I wonder where he is now.
Honestly, as much as that sucks for him, he was probably onto something. She was going to have her fun anyway, and ultimately, she'll look back on not being a pump'n'dump and those early years with him with rose colored spectacles. And lets be honest, this is Japan, he'll probably just frick their daughter to get back at her.
>Go watch movies for kids from Disney channel.
>comparing disney slop to takagi
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. There's nothing shallow about her story.
I don't give a frick about anime. You want romantic comedy for teenagers then watch DIsney channel slop. Highschool Musical or whatever.
>only teens like non-degenerate romance and monogamy
>mature guys like me like DRAMA and SEX
homosexual.
Teasing Master (Former)Takagi-san has more chapters than the original series and is still running when the original series ended last year.
You njgger
>Your idea of romance is some childish nonsense that essentially ends before the relationship begins.
Stories about a boy and a girl who are always stretching out their hands towards each other
And yet the boy's hand never reaches the girl's crotch
>Your idea of romance is some childish nonsense that essentially ends before the relationship begins. Real romance is between a man and a woman with tattoos and a two digits body count that's strong and independent you still pay for every date and she doesn't do chores at home she's not your slave.
NTA, but the point he is making is that romance just doesn't exist.
>that it's anime makes it immature
I'd argue that most anime is more cleverly written and feature better values than western media. Unlike anime content, western characters are almost exclusively degenerate scumbags with no foresight. Western slop in the current year only appeals to drooling morons and the lowest possible denominator.
You are comparing eastern kid media to western adult media. And yes, the japs themselves see anime as a kiddie or neet stuff. Of course stuff for children includes good morals while adult media includes complex and corrupt characters regardless of country. Actually most japanese live action movies for adults include even more corrupt characters than western media, because the jap movies don't try to teach morals for adults.
Anime/manga is a thing for young people but it's not just for kids
It's very popular with women up to their 30s
I woldn't say that western characters have more complex motivations. You can reliably predict that, no matter the situation, they'll act in the most selfish, debased way possible with no regard for anyone but themselves or principles, which western audiences find relatable.
>I'd argue that most anime is more cleverly written and feature better values than western media.
That's because you're a brain rotted weeaboo too stupid to see that anime is just as derivative as any primetime sitcom.
Why would finding a good wife and mother to your kids and living a happy life be immature?
Uh,
our response??
But taylor swift act like a 17 y.o. puberty girl all the time while being in her late 30, everyone liked her, why cant I do the same thing?
She's a woman, you're not.
I'm a woman
You are the product of a morally bakrupt society.
What if they're 30 but missing the life experiences of a teenager?
then you're fricked cuz getting laid as a kid with your first gf you're in love without knowing heartbreak is one of the heights of human experience
>didn't get his heart broken on the playground years before smashing
You ain't playa, all you ever did is get played homie!
Get BASED N0Tail out of here bro. He's too cool for this thread bro.
Try turning the flash/brightness/filters down bro. Or maybe she's a punk or something. Is she a punk or something dude?
I'm 36, a virgin and I find anime romance embarrassing.
You're an adult watching characters that act like 10 year olds and you identify with one of them. It's not normal.
One of my favorite romance movies is Chungking Express. It's cute and beautiful, but it features adults who more or less act like adults, not like literal children.
>I'm 36, a virgin
It happens. I'm guessing it will become far more common with zoomers. In Japan it's probably already quite common. No one has sex there.
>wholesome Big Chungus Express is good unlike your problematic media that is going to get taken over by Snoy like they did with video games
Nobody cares about what someone like you thinks.
>Chungking Express
You were based before this. This is were you miss-stepped. Take note.
You are LITERALLY genetic refuse. Watch your tone in my presence when it comes to weeb romance.
>muh Ching Chong Express
Tell that to the rest of human existence that fricking runs on worshipping highschool
Why 90% Takagi content posted on Cinemaphile is cuck shit btw?
It reminds anons of that girl in school they didn't pursue who is now getting plapped every night while they browse the log
I don't know why cuteness just doesn't exist on the same level as it does in Japanese media
If you look at English language fanfiction it's clear that women want cuteness and yet writers seem to be disgusted by it and avoid it completely
Instead drama and romance has to be mature, sexy and serious
It's not Japanese media, it's anime. Serious Japanese films for adults aren't like that at all.
Ok but you say serious Japanese films, I'm not talking about serious films in the West
Japanese films have been heavily influenced by what manga and anime fans like
What Japanese films? Japanese always liked movies about cheating and prostitutes.
>Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai
>Nodame Cantabile
>Lovely Complex
>Kimi ni Todoke
>Sukitte Ii Na Yo
>Ao Haru Ride
Don't know any of these. I was thinking about stuff like Rashomon, Woman in the Dunes or the recent hit Drive My Car.
Ok and I'm talking about the films which are made for a mainstream audience and are very popular with women today hence representing the trends that I've noticed in Japanese vs Western cinema
Strike Witches released in 2007, it was already impossible then for the west to equal it, now even more so. It's truly overowari da.
Why is "adult" always used to mean sexual degenerate? Adult is supposed to mean responsible.
"Anime" in this case also includes video games, manga, vtuber slop, visual novels, etc., but "cuteness" is present in Japanese culture everywhere, while in the west it's much less so.
>Why can't western media do sweet romance stories that cater to men?
because they're not based enough
Like a male hallmark movie?
I told you, in the op, that the women in those are never virgins. Often, they're single mothers or even have side guys. It's not the same.
They also aren't 12 years old like the characters from your picture.
She's 13-15 in the anime and pure hebe. But sure, girls in western romance movies are usually haggard fatsos. Can't say that I like that.
Have they ever done a hallmark movie set in the gym or with a martial arts setting?
>cater to men
Found your problem. We don't do that anymore. And even if we did, it generally doesn't look like an anime high school romance. If you want a goyslop example of 'adult romance for men' then see the dynamic between Daredevil and Elektra in the Netflix show. A strong rough guy with issues who has a simmering dynamic with a sexy woman who chose him because he's ''special'' and yet he agonizes over being with because she's walking temptation and stands against everything he believes in.
Two teenagers taking an entire season/6 novellas to stutteringly confess their feelings before sharing a chaste kiss and some handholding isn't what most guys find romantic. If anything it's what schoolgirls might might romantic before one two many dudes ask them to put their hands down their pants. Fricking highschool.
The answer is that white people have no soul.
No, really.
Everyone took a specific period of the '70s, '80s and '90s as the norm when it was an outlier, a dream of the legacy of beatniks and ex-hippies that arose when the US capitalistic engine staked its entire economic power behind visionary artists and dreamers to placate its population from unrest following the ugly reality of the Vietnam and Korean wars and to restore the pride of the US.
This is why I watch kdramas, better than shounen anime trash, but still wholesome romance. Now that Netflix money is involved in kdramas that will be going away soon.
That's a massive forehead.
She’s good at math
I was more interested in the pig nose, she looks like she had it surgically reconstructed like those Smile Train kids
wow rude I think she's cute
By poojeta standards she is very cute yes
Oh my god her forehead is even bigger in this picture.
Imagine her with her hair in a ponytail, no bangs.
>Netflix money
prepare your anus for some totally not forced diversity
correct kdramas mog romance anime
at least most kdramas have just one season to tell a complete story
>In Malaysia and Korea, it is local custom for women to keep their maiden names, and although there is no law stating that they cannot take their husband’s surname, it is a relatively foreign concept.
Lel South Korea romance? The most soulless location on Earth? Portraying love? Not that I've seen any of their shows but I'm quite skeptical that they even have a word for it in their language.
Source??
Men like romance stories where there’s a mysterious foid who gets them caught up in a murder mystery or they’re in a pow camp and they have to seduce a female prison guard
Men like movies that have romance, but aren't actual romances. Romance is just part of the plot. This anime shit is for sad manchildren. It's why they are never adults, but always teenagers.
Disney slop is the equivalent of this in the West. Weebs just won't admit it because they love their slop.
watching a man lust for a woman, blush for a girl, kiss a girl, etc, makes you a homosexual homosexual
>"yes i love staring at a drawing a man's face as he lusts for a girl, i love watching him get all flustered when the girl grabs his hand, i love thinking about the emotions he's going through and watching him go through it"
It's more about self-inserting as the guy getting the 1000/1000 girl and watching their comfy, cute lives, but...
that's pathetic
Yeah, where's the relatable drama, discord, bawdting around, cheating and sex? Anime isn't for us mature viewers.
D-Did you just help anon come to terms with being bisexual or did you just state the obvious and get owned because they aren't ashamed of it? I'm not entirely sure.
>liking likeable girls makes you bisexual
i dont watch homosexual shit like heterosexual romance anime
>normal people like normal romance
>westerners only watch records of their king Joe Biden sniffing little girls
What would make for a compelling modern romance story?
Ones that defy the conventions of subversion (aka, the hero actually gets the girl with little trouble and they actually live happily ever after).
I'm thinking Big Fish is a pretty good romance story, among other things.
Last Christmas is a good one too because it's about deep love and connection and not sexual attraction.
>conventions of subversion (aka, the hero actually gets the girl with little trouble and they actually live happily ever after)
Honestly? That's usually how it actually works out. Every relationship I've had has been that way and had a natural ease, a click, where we just enjoy being around eachother, Every single girl that flirted but withdrew/played games was always a disaster waiting to happen or just stroking her own ego, and vice versa I've never known a girl that would have had to 'win me' that I wasn't already repulsed by in some way.
I knew the sweetest, most kind hearted girl possible, but she was massive, and I just couldn't look past it - even though I was lonely too. That loneliness at the time made me give a date a chance, and I really regret it to this day, because it was uncomfortable as frick and I probably gave her false hope, AND relations with people we both worked with went down hill later and I suspect it was partially because of it.
Ease is what you want in reality, even if it doesn't make for entertaining TV.
About Time
Anyone else see the new Spy x Family movie? Pacing could have been a bit better but its was pretty good.
>No you must like this realistic spiteful prostitute b***hes in the Hollywood over the pure anime girl because...because you just must ok??
Personally, I have a thing for b***hes that are soft only for me/the main character. It makes me feel special. A sweetheart who is nice to everyone is good and all, but it doesn't stroke the ego.
you're not the main character and you are gay for watching him seduce a girl
Well, that escalated quickly.
There's not much difference between Japanese romcom tv shows made for Japanese normalgays and western romcom tv shows made for western normalgays.
I guess gaijins will slowly understand that due to streaming services like netflix.
I disagree completely, they have absolutely nothing in common
you want to know the big difference ? women are subservient to men in Japan, which makes all the fricking difference and the West can never be kino again without this
Your experience seems to be based solely on anime. Japanese films for adults aren't that different from Western ones.
That’s just your perception of things and not the way it really is
then how come they're all "woman seduces boring generic male and does all the work while the man doesn't have to lift a fricking finger and constantly fails and drops spaghetti"
It’s so fricking wrong if you think there’s no Japanese tv dramas where a tired 35yo successful working woman who is sick of useless men finally finds a decent guy for her
>women are subservient to men in Japan
Fricking kek. Oh yeah, where'd you learn that? Headcanon and anime? Look up infidelity in japan, the vast majority of japanese women will cheat on their partner. It only becomes shameful if they're found out. Everyone knows it's happening but nothing is ever said because Japan is God's experiment to see what a country would look like if everyone was autistic and passive aggressive
>Japan is God's experiment to see what a country would look like if everyone was autistic and passive aggressive
I don't think I've ever seen a more perfect description of Japanese culture. Bravo.
Looked it up and it doesnt line up with what you say.
He reads too many NTR doujins.
>Looked it up and it doesnt line up with what you say
Fricking kek. Oh yeah, where'd you learn that? Headcanon and anime?
That's because they don't consider it cheating.
Damn the ntr meme is real
japanese women like to cheat on their partners with overseas men so that they can get pregnant and return to japan and get child support from the gaijin
>84 percent of women and 61 percent of men in Japan report their extramarital affairs as beneficial to their marriage
Literally the first google result. The cheating culture in japan is widely known and there are so many results in the first page of google about it that you are 100% disingenous and not worth talking to. If you want to ignore reality that's up to you but people are going to call you moronic
>can't read
and you have the guts to call other moronic
The infidelity rate in japan is on par with western countries if that's what you're (much like a japanese man) passive aggressively implying with your post. This is what I'm saying. Japanese women aren't special. Once again, google it
I posted what pops up on google first.
Yes 84% of women out of the 22% of women who admitted to cheating said that wow.
>100% disingenous and not worth talking to
This is literally you though.
No, take that goalpost and put it back where you found it, bad anon.
A Japanese friend of mine that married a white woman literally told me that Japanese women are the number 1 cheaters in the world, I was kinda surprised by it.
I suppose if you were subservient to men in *general* you'd be getting folded in half by every man who made a pass at you
I don’t think the women would be bitichy if the story revolved around a honey pot operation. Like if a Chinese spy was sent to steal intellectual property or state secrets or the FBI tried to entrap you for being a drug dealer or right wing
>AHHH, is that a virgin that'd make a good wife?
>where them roasties at?
Why is Cinemaphile like this?
>quintuplets
Romancebros, is this anime any good?
How come all the Jap cartoonists draw in a tranime style?
because the shitty countries won ww2
You have to read a seinen comic to see art with more realistic faces
Easier to animate I'd assume. Plus there aren't that many studios so they'd draw how they know.
This 300 iq seductress is grooming this poor unsespecting boy into beig a perfect husband, many such cases.
>Why can't western media do sweet romance stories
Do you really not know the answer or this or are you just pretending to be moronic?

These threads are a very unsubtle avenue for lame culture wars. I wish people could just watch anime and enjoy it instead of turning it into some conflict. Why is it so hard for people to just talk about things they enjoy on a hobby board and leave the conflict for boards whose purpose it is to discuss them?
browns want every piece of media to cater to their lame worldview
pic related shows common traits of individuals who watch anime and for what reason
Could be because they watch a lot of media where the world's centered around a single person.
Could be that they watch that kind of media because they want the world to be centered around themselves. If we can extrapolate from other kinds of anime (e.g. isekai being watched by people who want to escape reality) then this is the more likely scenario.
Why can't you watch romance stories about two adults?
Japan's virgin population reached maturity first, and anime began fulfilling their demand for vicarious romance. The west's budding virgin demographic was snatched up the the developed anime romance industry. It's a saturated market, with no room for Hollywood to compete.
Married Japanese women are more likely to cheat than married American women.

Best modern romance coming through
Femdom sloppa? Again?
It's not femdom, they are both autistic
it's sweet but makes me want to kill myself
anime romances cater to beta men 95% of the time.
They all follow the same structure:
>boy is shy but secretly likes girl
>meet cute happens where boy and girl now have to spend time together
>boy and girl start to like each other
>boy becomes eternal beta orbiter around girl
>finally gets the courage to *GASP* hold her hand/kiss her cheek/shyly imply he likes her
>time to introduce random girl number 2 and forget that boy and girl like each other
>cycle repeats
This gets called "harem anime" obviously by people who don't understand why the show is displaying this pattern. They think it's to simulate a man with an entire harem of women.
Actually it's to simulate the mid-30s copium poisoning that incels have where they're like
>Oh jeez, I could have scored with any of those 6 women I've talked to in the last 15 years, if only I had just shot my shot!
You people are so fricking soulless and evil. Jesus Christ.
For pointing out that anime is repetitive and asinine?
That's the entire point you moron. That's what the customers want and that's what the creatives give them. Jesus, please frick off back to your site.
Indians want to shit on the street. That doesn't mean I can't criticize them for it. Shove your prissy feelings right back up your rancid c**t.
You sound like a total homosexual, people like you are the reason why anime is so shit nowadays
Fricking have a nice day you worthless subhuman
huh? Just because so called anime romances are moronic as frick? How about creating one where there is actual character development instead of beta orbiting around a bunch of girls?
It's "incomplete" for a lack of a better word. Like the "boy and girl pretend to be a couple for some reason and end up liking each other" is a great romcom trope. As is the "misunderstanding ensues through eavesdropping".
Anime just stops at middle. There is no "ok we like each other lets be together" moment. There is no romantic kiss or some sort of closure or some development like it.
For me the funniest shit ever was this one anime where the guy "rents" a girlfriend to spite his ex (which as far as romcom setups go is a pretty good one) but instead of the girl falling for him and them growing closer through their fake dates he just keeps simping for her and ends up paying this b***h thousands.
Like this shit is more psychological thriller or horror movie than romance or comedy.
>For me the funniest shit ever was this one anime where the guy "rents" a girlfriend to spite his ex
I share my crunchyroll account with my friend and his gf and she watches every single romcom that airs. I remember seeing that a show called rent a girlfriend was in the watch history. That's the one, right? Tbh the premise you talked about seemed decent but does it really go like that? Just paypigging and no actual romance? Wtf how can anyone like that?
I really don't understand the appeal either. And this is coming from someone who is becoming a wizard in a few months. If you want to self-insert as a MC, why not just play a VN at that point? It would be a lot more immersive too. Guess it's just a failed normalgay thing.
I'd consider harems less to be about scoring with 6 woman at the same time and more about giving 6 types of men their own waifu. There are definitely exceptions of course.
I'd say that's the case in a VN where you pick one but not in anime
I don't know about that, I just watched the greatest love story ever told, the rest were more comedies like Nyarlko-san.
I can't watch this show or read the manga without ending up feeling a profound sense of sadness and emptiness. Same goes for nagatoro and other romance anime. I just can't stand it.
I crushed on a girl for 3 years and just looked at her from afar and kept bumping into her non-stop. She was a cute girl, kind of tomboyish but also really cute. I never made a move due to my social incompetence which convienently seemed to disappear as I left high school. I could have been a person. I could have been happy. Now, I'm a shut-in NEET that probably won't work a day in his life due to settlement money. I haven't spoken to a woman in 5 years. I lead a pretty idealic NEET life but the fact is, I missed out on the most blissful time in a person's life. A love with a girl in the prime of his youth. I will never live this down and will die with the song still singing in my heart. I wonder if heaven is reliving your greatest dream or if hell is reliving all those moments you missed out on and regret like that scene from Interstellar.
if you fall in love with a non virgin you’re in complete delusion of the situation and definitely have a mental illness
>it may seem that i'm socially maladjusted, like a mentally ill person

Why don't you go back to the relevant board, Cinemaphile, where you can have all the unhinged anime discussion you like, instead of shitting up Cinemaphile with weeb trash?
>now
Has been for quite some time now, unfortunately.
i'm aware but i STILL browse it. why the frick am I like this.
Because at the bottom, you are a romantic. Take your losses and leave Cinemaphile, it's dead.
I think the time has come. Always, fricking always. You have something tightly knit and comfy and it's raped to death by these fricking demons. I wish you well.
Only reason I haven't left yet is because I'm a NEET who lives on the internet and there really isn't anyone better to go.
this idiotic pedestalizing meme was started by Ano a fricking weeb moron who only started this line of thought to frick with people when he was the worst offender of such things.
this site is an anime website.
He's talking about creators, if you like Ghibli's art and characters and want to make something like that, you can't look at their art as the basis, you have to look at the same source they did i.e. real life and make your own interpretation
Western culture is entirely centered around depopulation.
Anything that promotes or even allows healthy relationships is banned.
Grooming (preparing for marriage) is considered the worst crime imaginable.
Death and violence are worshipped.
>weebshit
Two reasons:
1. Culture. The 1960s and the sexual revolution removed a lot of the filters that kept sex behind closed doors. Romance is in large part motivated by the sex drive, so why not go to the heart of the matter
2. Biology. For women sex and romance is more psychological and so stories about it are more appealing to them. That does not mean men can't enjoy them too but the men most likely to enjoy them are lonely men for whom sex and romance are distant hopes more than something real
>Romance is in large part motivated by the sex drive, so why not go to the heart of the matter
have a nice day, unironically. You are a literal animal, no humanity in you.
I watched 5 Centimeters Per Second on the weekend. Very sweet and cute and filled me with loving feelings... but story is contrived. Why was the MC such a cuck? Just fricking call her and meetup with her.
They're probably just gays poisoned by modernity, romance has been written/sung about for millennia.
While I agree with you, some white countries have never written A SINGLE GOOD ROMANCE STORY, like the USA
Britain, France, even Germany? Sure, they have. USA? Not a single good romance story ever written
Elemental did that. It even had a tender scene where they hold hands forthe first time and discover that living together as water and fire actuallyis possible.
Isn't that unironic homosexual 3D movie from Groomers?
No
I just checked and it is.

Why do you lie?
stay on your board, troony.
>Asks why western media doesn't make romance stories catered to men
>Posts image from a series for literal children
You are moron
What is an adult? Do I really need to make a documentary about it?
>takagki-chan's anime
>made for kids
You're an idiot. I'd bet good money on the overwhelming majority its fans being adults. Unlike western stuff, hebe girls being it doesn't mean its a kid show.
>You're an idiot.
No you homosexual.
The west has been buck-broken by religions whose main premise is "no fun allowed."
>the feminism and cultural marxism that have ruined western culture is solely the fault of christianity for some reason
>nothing to do with leftists
>cultural marxism
You know your internet daddy is a buck-broken fraud sucking up to joos on twatter as we speak lmao
christianity is charity and compassion you utter fricking Black person moron
That's pretty reductive, but sure. What does that have to with western culture promoting shit-tier women and relationships between the sexes? You haven't noticed christian women being far closer to the anime-ideal than dem-voting women? This doesn't tell you anything?
I've noticed that women who watch anime are absolutely nothing like the anime characters, whereas if a man watches Drive, he immediately knows he needs to act like Ryan Gosling.
I don't understand how people convince themselves people change as adults. If you were a moronic kid you are still moronic, moreso actually.
Does that mean I'm immortal?
Why do the normalgays here think that obsessing about sex and putting your dick in many holes is the epitome of maturity? Just seems like debased, irresponsible, animalistic behavior to me. Why is monogamy and sweet love supposed to be childish?
In French Canada, it is illegal for a woman to take the last name of her husband. Love is illegal because if people actually knew love, do you understand the resulting effects? Love makes children of course, it also makes you more wary of strangers, as in less acceptant of mass immigration. Knowing love also makes it evident that homosexuals can never love, and thus reveals them as abusers.
Love seems innocent and yet it goes against all what our traitor government tries to push, hence why they push atheism instead of the supposed opium of the masses (religion), because it makes you unloving.
How dare a writer make a love story for the big screen!? That would go against homosexuals, israelites that want less whites in the country, feminist prostitutes that want men to commit adultery, etc. Isn't it evident that there is a conspiracy against love?
it's working as intended, props to israelites
Schizo nonsense.
Concession: Accepted
meds
also imagine watching cartoons as a grown person XDd
Good post. Ignore the seething roasties and their orbiting cucks.
How is this a good post? It's just a bunch of paranoid nonsense. It's you that are the problem. It's not even about sex or virginity. You genuinely believe that it's normal for 30 year old men to dream about innocent girls that look fricking 12. You identify as some pathetic boy protagonist that blushes when touching a girl while you're in your late 20s or even 30s.
No, normal adults don't want this kind of romance. You should've grow out of it long time ago.
Paranoid? It is illegal for women to take the last name of their husband, it's written in law and it's proven that women who love their husband actually want to take his last name.
It's proven that ocytocin, the hormone of love makes you more wary of strangers, hence immigration.
It's proven that homosexuals don't love from their hueg amount of sexual partners and STDs. Love is only possible between a man and a woman, homosexuality is an abuse ergo it's against love.
It's proven that israelites prefer a multiracial country with no majority.
It's proven that feminists are pro-prostitution, hence adultery.
It's proven that Hollywood is full of israelites and homosexuals and feminists.
It's proven that the state want secularism, that is atheism instead of the supposed opium of the masses.
You're gaslighting me!
>It is illegal for women to take the last name of their husband, it's written in law and it's proven that women who love their husband actually want to take his last name.
It seems to be a French custom going back hundreds of years. You portray it as something new caused by feminism.
No it dates from 1981 and an interesting consequence of this that that children born after 1981 have increasingly been given the last names of both of their parents as a choice, since women can no longer express their lack of love by choosing to not take their husband's last name, they resort to plaguing their children with 2 surnames and once they get children of their own, they have to choose one of their parents as if it was a divorce.
https://time.com/3940094/maiden-married-names-countries/
>And Quebec isn’t the only place. In Greece, a similar law requiring all women keep their maiden name was enacted in 1983 during a wave of feminist legislation.
>durr hurr it's not because of femisism
It's almost noon, isn't time for your meds?
>it dates from 1981
In France?
>In 1474, king Louis XI the Prudent enacted a law forbidding people to change their surname without authorization.
Also, in your link there's no mention that it was different before that date.
>In Québec, the legal name of a woman was always her maiden name ever since the King of France made the parish records mandatory in the 16th century, on which a marriage entry uses the maiden name. The custom of using the name of the husband was always just a custom, and the name of a woman did not change legally.
That's false, married couple from before 1981 in Quebec still have the women having the husband's last name because the law only affect marriages done after the law was passed.
False
>The tradition goes back even further in France, which has had a law on the books since 1789 requiring that people not use a name besides the one given on their birth certificate.
1789, as in the French revolution where they killed people and religion, a lot of our own ills mirror the ones happening in the French revolution.
And you fricking well know that trannies can circumvent this law for free and change their name from their birth certificate.
>That's false, married couple from before 1981 in Quebec still have the women having the husband's last name because the law only affect marriages done after the law was passed.
Source? Go, post it.
>false
It's not false. Why do you think your Time pophis article is correct about all those dates?
>The Quebecois married after April 2, 1981 do not have the right to change their names (article 393 of the Civil Code of Quebec).
https://theblog.artim.ca/life-in-canada/taking-your-spouses-name-is-illegal-in-quebec/
Implying that it's a "grandpa clause", that those married before 1981 are not affected.
>It's not false. Why do you think your Time pophis article is correct about all those dates?
Same 1789 date is here, and it makes sense since that's the date of the French revolution when they killed religion and a lot of people.
https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/family/2022/03/15/the-maiden-name-debate-in-which-countries-do-women-not-take-their-husbands-name/
>do not have the right to change their names
>If you are a woman and married prior to April 2, 1981, you are entitled to use your spouse's surname to exercise your civil rights, provided your were already doing so at that date.
>provided your were already doing so at that date
So you could change your name, but it wasn't automatic after marriage.
You're arguing with a soulless bugman who literally cannot grasp the concept of love.
>nothing wrong with western culture
You somehow missed the horrible gender relations, marriage dying as an institution, horrible divorce rates and even worse birthrates? Frick males feminists. You're such utter human trash. Bet you morons vote for dems too.
>You genuinely believe that it's normal for 30 year old men to dream about innocent hebe girls
It's the ideal for many men.
>real men only care about putting penis in hole
Stupid degenerate idiot.

Well said
Takagi got repetitive pretty fast, but I'm really liking Dangers in My Heart. Looks like quintessential wish fulfillment slop at first, but it really avoids all the pitfalls of zero progress and a stagnating beta main character the genre tends to have.
>pitfalls of zero progress
I never understood this criticism when it came to romcoms like Takagi-san. A lot of slice of life anime has no progression and people fricking love them. But as soon as the anime is focused on romance, people can't just enjoy that shit for what it is and scream about how the relationship needs to progress.
Men are ok with watching tv shows and playing video games with female leads
HOWEVER
The majority of women will not watch a tv show or play a video game with a male lead.
As a result you see a lot more "female-focused" stories.
>The majority of women will not watch a tv show or play a video game with a male lead.
Shounen anime about dudes fighting each other always have a sizeable female fanbase. Shit, I believe even Star Wars used to have a larger female fanbase before the sequels.
Nagatoro was way better
theres no way you dudes are like 40 years old watching this effeminate shit
>effeminate shit
Ah yes, the epitome of masculinity feeling threatened by cute Japanese romance drawings sucking away his manliness
You will never be Japanese.
Schizo take your meds.
>self honesty and their inner moral voice, the task of becoming a better person
Bakuman is unironically like that, it's by the Death Note guys.
>you're the king
Writing books can be done alone doesn't it?
So why aren't there BASED stories written by Japanese women like this in the West?
What's the point if it's not forbidden romance?
Guys I sent 23 discord DMs the past 5 weeks to a Japanese girl with no replay and she finally responded!
When's the wedding?
I have asked her to be my wife multiple times and she never answers the question.
The trick is to post a sad dog saying u miss her and then she will say she's busy and send you a snap at a bar and idk if person with her is guy or girl
Weebs are so delusional that they think their incel fantasies are actually common outside of otaku media. I said it before and I say it again, watch tv shows and movies for children. You will find your chaste teenage romance there.
>chastity, a virtue that 100% of people are born with, doesn't le exist
Ok reddit, how many previous sexual partners are acceptable? Is it (age / 2 +7 = le 42)?
Don't be a moron, anon.
Most romance movies not aimed at teenagers feature people in their late-20s to early-40s. Most romance movies are also about people getting together, because apparently that's what the romance audience prefers to see most. That means most romance characters realistically had previous relationships in their past, because people don't usually delay dating until well into their adult lives. Hence why dead wives/husbands are so common in the genre. It keeps the character effectively pure without them being a 35 year old socially awkward turbovirgin.
>Most romance movies are also about people getting together, because apparently that's what the romance audience prefers to see most.
Bro, romance movies are a dead genre in the west, frick are you talking about?
They still get made, though it's true there doesn't seem to be a market for big (relatively) budget romance these days. Ironically like 95% of my country's output is romantic comedies and drama films because we don't have the budget for anything else.
they LITERALLY just released "Anyone but You"
And it fricking flopped, hence "dead genre."
>feature people in their late-20s to early-40s
>geez, I'm now infertile, time for romance
No you inverted redditor.
It's honestly just weird. At a certain age when a girl and a boy like one another they won't just hold hands for 50 dates.
Brown "people" behaviour. Aryans and Asians literally do not have sex except under transcendental circumstances.
why are chuds so obsessed with wanting "muh pure virgin"?
>I'm a degenerate porn-addicted coomer, but I deserve a pure trad virgin waifu
LoL, nobody wants you right old witch? People can notice you are a bitter woman
you didn't answer the question, what makes you believe that a corrupted demon like you deserves a relationship with a pure and chaste girl
I think virgin gf is just easier to love and loves you more. If you are her first you're not a boyfriend you are THE boyfriend. Honestly nothing you do sexually is as bad as having become one flesh with someone else. Virgin coomer BF or Virgin Only fans GF is preferable to someone who had one sexual partner they loved and then fricked it up and ended up with you.
Having a boyfriend or a girlfriend is what homosexuals do.
Imagine having a girlfriend, how fricking gay is that? Oh you don't think so? Imagine being someone else's "boyfriend" then, holy shit that is gay.
Homosexuals go to the glory hole and have poz party orgies.
I wouldn't refer to a girl as my girlfriend I don't call her anything and if someone asks I say she's my fiance.
Japs are actually overworked, cynical and adulterous.
The reason their media is so cutesy is escapism.
Even the people who animate stuff like this are under a ridiculous crunch.
>Japs are actually overworked, cynical and adulterous.
I'm sorry, are you implying that that doesn't also apply to whites?
White people kinda suck at romance these days because all white people are a dangerous combination of cynical, self-hating, and autistic.
I'm white and told my Japanese GF I'm not a coward and would murder her if she ever cheated on me. She got really horny from this and I don't think she knows I'm serious.
I'm black and I told my white GF I'm not a coward and would murder her if she ever cheated on me. She got really horny from this and I don't think she knows I'm serious.
Why would you lie? If you were black you wouldn't be able to plan these things before hand and would only murder her for not aborting the baby not cheating.
If he was black he also wouldnt have a white gf as white women are the least likely of all groups of people to racemix.
Do weebs even know that anime is aired at 2 AM?
This is what Japs watch right now on prime time
>Do weebs even know that anime is aired at 2 AM?
Anon, the anime for pic related airs at 9 PM in Japan.
A ton of anime do air at around 2AM.
In my country, there used to be a channel for airing anime, and they aired it in the same moronic time slots as the japs, and the channel wasn't even airing at all at other times.
what is this? asian buck breaking?
Japan is okay with LGBT propaganda now
>land of futa and effeminate men embraces homosexualry
I don't know what to tell you anon. The signs were there.
Futa is, like other anime manga shit, fantasy. All the messed up shit in hentai doesn't mean actual Japanese people are more degenerate sexually than anyone else in the world.
Westoids are the ones who simply can't differentiate between fantasy and reality.
Romance isn't basic to humanity. The idea of romantic love is a fiction responsible for countless divorces.
>Romance isn't basic to humanity.
Reality, history, and art say otherwise, you little sour grapes homosexual.
No, people turning into faithless leftoids that hide from commitment is what is responsible for divorce
>Romance isn't basic to humanity.
The absolute state of soulless westerners.
I used to think that romance as a genre was only for girls until I realized that for romance to occur, a man needs to be involved, hence I was under the effect of a psyop which I then cleansed by watching anime for 15 years.
odd post considering the DYKE image
Uiharu is a fair maiden.
Watching romance just makes me feel depressed
>which I then cleansed by watching anime for 15 years.
based and same
If you want romance go find someone to love. If you want to hear about romance make friends. If you want romance fantasies do mind altering drugs.
Art has never, nor will it ever, be romantic. Objects aligned in such an order to trick your mind into thinking they are real. They are not. It is not romance. It is a farce. A lie. Your goal is pic related, not romance. Any wonder women love the "romance" genre?
>because their society promotes women to be promiscuous and unfaithful to their husbands.
But it's true?
Men started sleeping around first doe
Nice reading comprehension moron
Not liking the west doesn't mean you want to be japanese fricktard. Japan is just one of the few countries to make half decent fiction nowadays as opposed to the west
I'm 25 years old and a virgin.
>send Japanese girl a selfie
>She replies with this
Not sure what mean
she can't get the image of her future white babies out of her head
lol it's a compliment. White skin is a sign of beauty in Japan.
>Why can't western media do sweet romance stories that cater to men?
Full threat of seething, not a single example.
Point proven.
A western show with the plotline of Amagami would be interesting on a technical level, yes it's based on a dating sim (which is essentially a genre banned in the west) and the plot points can be erratic or bizarre but it's conceptually interesting. It's like a more complex spin on Nic Cage's The Family Man.
