>>38853contrarianism is a logical response to anime being very popular these days. i'm one myself but you'll never see me insult you because you posted an anime pic because first of all people do what they want + it's part of this place's culture, but i still think it's shit tho, because i'm overdosing of seeing it everywhere mostly and i think that big eyed little succubi did their time. the stories are kinda shallow too, and as i grow older i see most of japanese visual media for what it is; fiction aimed at a young/teenage audience, even the so called "more mature" or "adult" stories..

>>38867>If the decision had to come down between an imageboard with normies who all liked animu v. an imageboard with wizards who hated it…I don't know, but it'd be a really close call.No way, man. You're saying you'd prefer /a/ (or even r/anime) to an anti-anime wizchan? If wizchan were explicitly anti-anime, I'd leave. But I would never go to any other normalfag anime community. I wouldn't touch those places with a 10-meter pole. I dare you to visit them so you understand what you're saying. I don't think there's any other website that is like wizchan. So it'd be best to just create another one, instead of trying to replace it with some normalfag anime one.
Also, the idea of anime as a normalfag-filter is simply false. Anime, manga, and visual novels (though VNs much less) are filled to the brim with normalfags. Most normalfags like anime and manga, with a percentage of them even being very serious fans, and it's pretty much lost the stigma it used to have. This isn't a criticism of anime, manga, and visual novels, since they're each a medium, and not a genre, so they don't have to be any particular way. But if you go by what kind of anime and manga comes out, it's mostly for normalfags and by normalfags. Every year there's less and less anime that's not pure normalfaggotry.
This is something I really like about visual novels. They aren't that popular with most normalfags, and while most fans are still normalfags, the ratio is much smaller, so there's a lot of really amazing VNs that could never be anime because of how unrelatable or how contrary they are to the sensibilities of normalfags.
I do find anti-anime wizards somewhat annoying, but that could never compare to a normalfag diehard VN fan (not because of the VN fan part, to clarify).

>>38874Recently? That I checked out, that sono bisque doll whatever. I was seeing a ton of images of the main anime succ and she looked cute so I checked out the first episode and it was shitty failed normalfag wish fulfillment. I didn't even watch the second episode and from what I've seen it only gets much worse.
Another one I checked was some isekai were the main succ was reincarnated as the villain in some otome game she used to play, and the only two endings in the game were disastrous for her ("all routes lead to doom", I remember was the subtitle) so she had to do something to avoid them. That description sounds really interesting so I checked it out and it was much worse. It was all about friendship and making friends with everyone and loving each other. Most of the characters had very generic normalfag personalities, with the MC being the worst. I still found the first 3 episodes pretty funny, but after that it got really boring and I dropped at episode 7.
I do have to admit that I haven't been keeping up much with recent anime because most of it does not look appealing at all. There's a new anime movie that just came out called Bubble. It did not look intriguing at all, but it's written by Gen Urobuchi, so I'm still planning on watching it later today.
In regards to recent manga, I can't even keep count. I've been getting most of my manga from manga-tube.me. I've been checking out pretty much every single unlicensed manga coming out on that site and I can probably count with a single hand the ones that aren't pure normalfaggotry.

The amount of bullshit is getting too strong.
If someones doesn't like anime that can be ok. But if someone actively dislikes anime and goes out of his way to make it know, and gets bothered by it then he is definitely a moron when not a simple normal, and I have little business talking with that person. If you're willing to tolerate that your hobby is universally shunned in a site, is because you don't actually like that hobby.
Also, people above who complain about how anime is more popular and more people knows it now are all pathetic. You're like the person who needs external validation but in the inverse. Instead of other people approving what you like, you need other people to shun it, so you can fill that empty thing that you don't have. In the end is the same, you're not capable of liking something just because of its own merits, you only can do it if you're validated one way or another.

No.38989
If someone doesn't like anime images, that's pretty suspicious. Not liking anime anymore isn't really indicative of anything though. Someone could watch enough anime to see all the tropes and get sick of them, ruling out 99% of anime for them. If they didn't mind anime tropes, they might not like how cheap the animation looks, which applies to a lot of anime who cut corners. Or maybe the plot, while an interesting premise, was never expanded well enough. I have personally had that happen a lot. So many good plots end up going to waste when they go in obvious directions. Just from the first point, 99% of anime is excluded from this hypothetical person, so I could see if someone is tired of anime. I hardly watch it anymore since I can't stand the annoying character tropes. If they don't like anime though, they could like manga. It would be much easier and faster to gauge manga than anime since you're reading rather than watching.

>>38997Shameful post. The "Japs work 80hr/week with no overtime" is a meme from wartime.
Nips today work at most 40h like anyone else PLUS additional pay if they make long commutes. Companies have to earn employee's loyalty by showering them with benefits and other perks so they don't go work for some other company. The market for office workers is stretched so thin that guys fresh out of college can make a living salary working for big suits from home. If a man or succubus has kids, they get even more benefits and payed leave to tend to them. Nintendo, Sony, and all other nip gamedevs don't even have an equivalent term for "crunchtime". Anime studios put in a lot of overtime but that's because every animator wants to come out on top and become independent so they put in the work to prove themselves.
Taking what drunken anime dudes say in comedy anime about working overtime is like believing what The Simpsons have to say about working at a power plant

The perceptions comes from alot more than just anime. I'd honestly be curious to know if what you're saying is true. And i don't mean that in some backhanded way either.
Mainly wondering since, in the US at least, 40H is a standard work week here as well, but only on paper. In practice you're lucky to only be working 40H while making over minimum wage.

If there's a comedic sequence where drunken men complain about working overtime, it only makes sense on the conditions that either they do work overtime or that they inaccurately amplify their issues when drunk.

>>38853This was the case until about 2015. The amount of secondaries has increased due to streams and crunchyroll/netflix becoming popular. If someone watches or likes anime is irrelevant at this point and the only way to tell if someone is a normalfag or not is by the years when they first watched anime seriously. Not stuff you saw randomly on Cartoon Network as a kid. The other is if said person watches mainly old or new (2015+) anime. This one is a bit harder to spot because anime has become so accessible that zoomers can binge 200 12 episode series in a week and just give them 10/10 ratings on MAL. So if the person mainly has 12 episode shows from 2015+ they are a zoomer normalfag anime poser. If it's mainly older anime and longer series they are oldfag.

it's absolutely not a reliable way to determine whether someone's a normalnigger or not. maybe could've been back in the day, it is by no means the case anymore. majority of the normalniggers on the web love anime. way I see it virginity has been and still is the only reliable indicator whether a person is a normalcattle or not.
