I feel like there needs to be a thread made about this. I know this has been talked about many times since 2016 but even then I think this topic is still very neglected because the consequences aren't noticeable on the entirety of Anime yet. There's just something really aggravating about low-status men loosing one of the few hobbies that they could actually enjoy to the very same normalfags and succubi who constantly treat us like dogshit 24/7 and make our daily lives a living hell. We all know the consequences that come with any hobby becoming popular among normgroid NPCs, they start pushing their shitty status-quo bs on it. I'm honestly convinced that by the end of this decade Anime will never have that same feeling as it always did, it'll just become another soulless mainstream form of entertainment to appeal to normalfags. Start expecting chad and his succubi gf to start bragging about going to watch an anime to their NPC social sphere like they do with their shitty MCU movies along with whores cosplaying as your waifu to sell her nudes on the internet to some orbiters (which is already happening to a certain extent). Some oldfags may argue that Anime declined long time ago, and while that's debatable I will say that Anime still retains a very unique feeling to it that is void in the majority of other watchable entertainment and low-status men are the ones that keep and preserve it that way. Mark my words, Anime will be completely unrecognizable around by the end of this decade. Maybe someone can articulate this better than I can but that's the best way I can put it.

All I can really say is stop being insecure and require an actual taste. Mecha fans don't have this problem. Watch anime that have thought provoking writing, artistic complex animation sequences, an amazing score, etc. Also I don't think you should limit yourself to anime alone. I do agree the Japanese animation industry is going down the crapper right now, so if you have a backlog, cherish it for as long as you can, then consume some other type of media, like movies or paintings. inb4 locked or moved to /dep/.

for the west that is, most of anime has been normalfaggot in japan since its dawn.
the real issue you aren't considering is that the more expensive and profitable anime becomes the less creative space there is, because execs want to avoid risk at all cost.
doesn't matter that much since mangaka have a lot more freedom to do what they want, but it still is unfortunate.

There's watching anime, and then there's having a normie interest in anime. Most normie anime watchers today have only seen what is available on crunchyroll and only the most recent stuff. They will never watch something like Urusei Yatsura, although they'll probably watch the remake which pisses me off.

there are a number of barriers to entry for anime:
1. it's in a foreign language with alienating cultural norms (for normalfags)
2. decades of self-referential culture and internal humor is hard to overcome
3. the futurist aesthetic is too spicy for people who cry rivers when a tv advert offends them
4. it's youthful and experimental (are anime studios the youngest media industry in the world?) and all the innovation is done for free by hobbyists
5. japan isn't at liberty to lose its cultural grip because of its military situation (same with cars and semiconductors)

canada attempted to become a media powerhouse with tax incentives and it largely failed (a bunch of video game studios are headquartered there, but produce nothing of note because they are culturally impotent) what will be unrecognizable by the end of the decade is mainstream culture in the west, not anime

That's how it goes with them. It's hilarious how OP fits the bill perfectly. It's like the internet is a clone factory for this type and the weak-minded falls prey of it. I've seen this too many times. It's hopeless for people like OP.

>>191231

That's why we had one anime title as the highest-grossing movie worldwide recently, because the bar is so high this piece of entertainment is almost rocket science.

You moronic casuals come up with all this nonsense about anime in order to protect your fragile, ignorant inflated egos. You don't like anime, you just care about how it looks on you. It's pathetic. I can see through you, no point trying to wriggle your way out of this simple truth. It's too late for you anyway. You guys should just go ironic weebs already and crash and burn in some shit thread on 4chan, that's your destiny, just go.

I don’t understand why you people have such a strong connection to the normalcattle who enjoy this stuff as well? This goes for other hobbies as well. If you enjoy it, you are enjoying it for a certain reason so you can expect other people to eventually find it. If you really want something that no one will go towards then find something esoteric that is difficult to take part in or really taboo (this is a stretch…)

What OP means is that the barrier of entry has been lowered enough to effect the medium and the entire fanbase as a whole has to suffer for it. People who just want to discuss anime can't even do so anymore because of waifufags deliberately spamming any topic threads with constant fan art, adding nothing to discussion.

Anime being in decline is real. Constant polls and charts on anime databases have been done about the users and there is a steady decline with random spike of interests from 2015 and on. Newer fans are consuming content way too fast because of it being readily available. Older fans are not watching new anime being put out unless it's tasteless moetrash.

No one who browses here thinks they're "special".
I'm just some dude who enjoys it and hate that that the culture around anime is changing from low-status men to becoming popular among western NPCs which I think will start degrading anime at some point as demand changes.
>make this exact thread for the millionth time complaining how anime is bad now
I still think anime is good in general though, when did I ever say it's the entirety of it is bad?

>You moronic casuals come up with all this nonsense about anime in order to protect your fragile, ignorant inflated egos. You don't like anime, you just care about how it looks on you.
Imagine thinking that anyone who browses here has enough self-esteem to even have a inflated ego. As I said earlier, I'll alaways enjoy anime even if normal cucks ruin it to such an extent. I'm simply pointing out that Anime as a whole soaring in popularity will start degrading the content at some point
> I can see through you, no point trying to wriggle your way out of this simple truth. It's too late for you anyway. You guys should just go ironic weebs already and crash and burn in some shit thread on 4chan, that's your destiny, just go.
I mean, everyone here has more than likely accepted that it's over for them or they wouldn't posting here in the first place, and the last sentence sounds like projection, there's no difference between rotting on a thread here or on 4cuck.

Anime is pretty cool. It tends to have power fantasy/fantasy elements which are lacking from tv series that have real actors. Then theres always pretty succubi with big boobs. With television shows you run into problems of finding gorgeous succubi that are willing to flaunt their bodies. Anime is just honest stupid fun. Doesnt have to be 10/10 groundbreaking, if it just has hot succubi and some action I'm down for that

Time will tell. Stop letting your obsession with normalfag avoidance ruin your hobbies. Just because Twatter is full of terminally online 14 year olds who have meltdowns over drawings of fictional characters doesn't mean the normgroid crowd does too. Those guys just watch Naruto and Seven Deadly Sins ad nauseum and gush over the same 12 characters. Mark my words - Western groids will never poison a medium whose core fanbase is Japanese aniota outcasts. Anime gets boring after you turn 25 or so anyway. Virtual youtubers are where it's at, especially for actual wizards. Did it piss you off when hololiveEN formed and vtubers got big in the West too? As long as the loli characters don't alienate the lolicons among their fans over muh moralz, I see no issue here.

I think the breaking point for me was when visual novels started popping out in steam in 2012 or so, before that visual novels were these obscure things that you had to find in japanese websites and patch them yourself or download some frankenstein shit from fuwanovel.

After that the gates were fully open, anime is so normalfag now that even gaming in much more niche and wizard friendly.

 No.39059

You can't really "gatekeep" animation. The only thing I'm worried about is the Japanese underground circles eventually getting screwed over. Sites that help doujin artists make money are already screwing people over due to western influence, I think DLsite recently tried to fuck over loli artists due to wanting to appeal to the western market.

video games can be made on a much lower budget than animation though. One guy can make a decent game by himself, so it's easy to find a game you like even if all the mainstream ones you hate.

Did you read or post in the "End of the Wizards" threads on /dep/ OP? They sort of touch upon your….pain of normalfags invading and colonising something they had no interest in initially or even had outright disdain but once it became popular they jumped straight on the bandwagon. I'm going to make another one, might be the final one, you're welcome to join.

>I know this has been talked about many times since 2016

2014. 2014 I think personally was the end of everything geek. Gatekeepers were dead at this point.

>Mark my words, Anime will be completely unrecognizable around by the end of this decade.

You can rip the soul out of something while it's body remains intact. No, what will happen instead are strange things. Strange things like….the aheago face becoming recognisable to normalfags to the point that you see normalfag whores doing it in social media (and onlyfans), which fucking insane when you think about it. An aheago face is the cum face (presumably) drawn by unsexed japanese nerds who've never seen a cum face IRL and now people are *emulating a fake cum face* in real porn. It's like we've entered Baudrillard territory.

Or you'll see normalfags try re-writing or re-contextualising (geek) history. The NES wasn't all that popular in the UK (and probably europe) because over here people were still playing on home computers like amstrads, commodore 64s, etc and you could pirate the games on those pretty easily. The market was bad enough for Nintendo that SEGA was ahead for both the 8-bit and 16-bit console wars in the UK (and probably europe). HOWEVER, when people look back now with Nintendo being hot shit for normalfags and retro being cool, there's a false narrative that the NES was super popular in the UK and somehow was the first videogames console that most older people had.

My viewpoint is based on daily interactions with normies because of my job in eastern europe, majority don't like anime and frown upon it, the ones that had some interest watch a couple of popular shows and once the novelty wears off they go back to their normie media. It's a bit of a stretch to claim anime is mainstream at least in my post soviet shithole, internet tends to warp your perception on how thing really are.

My point is to just continue enjoying your favorite shows and support them if you can because normie's interest in anime does not persist for too long.

The anime that is popular among the Japanese is different from the ones popular in Western fandom, and even Japanese otaku. If you look at any list of "best anime ever" voted by the Japanese themselves, they are always mostly composed of family-friendly situational comedy, such as Sazae-san and Chibi Maruko-chan, children oriented series, like as Anpanman and Doraemon, and some popular shounen, this one being the only one in common with Western normies. If you look at lists made by, say, 5ch, it's much different.

It's curious what you say about novels. Take >>39170's Lucky Star image. Only Konata, an otaku, had a big knowledge of anime, but she didn't read LN, like Kagami, a normal succubus, did, and everybody read manga. I also remember this passage where only the fujoshi character recognized a Full Metal Alchemist reference, which may be among the most popular anime/manga series ever in the West.

No. Family oriented means precisely that. It's for the entire family, from the 4 year old child to the granny near her death bed. Japan still makes their childrens shows with the full expectation that parents or other guardians will be watching alongside them, and that's why they're consistently ranked highly even by adults; because they're just good.

There's obviously a difference between prime slot airing anime and shit that airs at late night. Its not hard to tell which anime is meant for japanese normals and which one is aimed to a more specific niche audience.
I think that in the west its harder to perceive this difference because here we either just pirate everything or stream through places like crunchyroll, so even shows that are clearly meant for an otaku audience gain certain normalfag recognition (see mushoku tensei or many isekai in general).

anime golden age was 1995-2011, imo it ended because the founding inspiration of the emergence of it (eva) dwindled from people's memory and tropes it popularized became overdone. nothing about it can be done, and the easiest way to deal with it is to recommend pre-decline anime series.

It's been mainstream for the past 3 or 4 years now, probably beginning with succubi on instagram making themselves look like anime succubi for attention. I can't pinpoint who or what made it mainstream honestly. Probably just like with old video games/media, someone started liking it ironically and then it took off with the general public. The majority of anime that is popular now is shounen-shit or isekai garbage. I know that shounen has been popular here since the 90s, but you could find halfway decent hidden gems. Also keep in mind that the target demographic for anime has been for Japanese teens and some adults, not American basement dwelling virgins. But now the hidden gems like Urusei Yatsura and other early Rumiko works have been unearthed and destroyed by normalfags too thanks to the internet. It's too late, there's nothing we can do. Unfortunately with a niche hobby, the lower the barrier to entry, the more people will eventually discover it.

anime is usually focused at an audience of people without great achievements in life: neets, virgins, autists and losers, even in old hentai movies you can see all these things.

shy characters, perverts(usually single old guys), virgins, even in shonens, like for example, yamcha in dragon ball

and it's always full of fan service

makes perfect sense to me, keep away that audience and prevent them from doing degenerate shit like this–→ https://youtu.be/eRRXoJYU_jM

this is literally the only thing we can enjoy in our shitty lives, it was made for losers, to stimulate our minds

I despise the modern anime fan. It's become way too accessible that any groid is able to share his shitty half-baked negative opinion on something you genuinely enjoy instead of being able to discuss it with someone who else genuinely enjoyed the same thing. Not even ironic weebs were this bad - because they at least pretended to be ironic moetards. Meanwhile the current generation of anime zoomers are able to pull up niche anime lists on demand and stream them instantly, requiring 0 investment into the hobby itself. Stark contrast to old school anime nerds who either had to stay up till 3-4 am to catch an 90s anime on international channel or dig through a vhs store discount bin to find some c-d tier anime. The average anime fan back then had developed their own taste from being exposed to just about everything and anything available to them. While today an average anime fan is a high school kid who just binged on the live simulcast dub of some generic shitnime ready to discuss it with his buds at the lunch table.

Anime has also become more over sexualized to appeal to normies. Gone are innocent panty shots or random sideboob and now replaced by full on sexual contact that even Master Roshi would get a nosebleed from. Things like tit grabs, crotch grinding, or sucking on something phallic all of course while moaning and emitting visible stink lines are now the norm in just about any anime.

Most moe anime isn't liked by actual normals, weird normals seldom read visual novels and more obscurer manga. I mean really the target audience of most anime and manga has been japanese single men who have a lot of free money due to not having a partner, therefore they make sure to appeal to these otaku in order to get more sales. Thats why there aren't fat ugly anime succubi to push for fat acceptance or something. If you really wanted to find 'normalfag' free japanese media, play visual novels.

Reading MAL reviews makes me realize that Western normalfaggotscum money (crunchy roll, merchandise) finding its way to the anime producers will undoubtedly negatively influence anime.

There’s an anime im enjoying which translates to “Call of the Night” from the mangaka that wrote dagashi kashi. The anime is very well made and has some really neat art direction. All of the MAL reviews are your typical crunchy roll viewer twitter moron giving the show negative reviews because the female love interest is significantly older than the main character even though she’s physically his age and it’s typical run of the mill 5000 year old vampire stereotype.

The social media aspect of MAL is of course full of twitter people and normals who only stream anime. If MAL didn't exist I'd just check the info I need on Japanese Wikipedia or something.
I think MAL is a negative because it makes anime more accessible to the mainstream, but paid streaming sites and simultaneous airing with (bad) English subtitles is even worse. Before you at least had to find fan subs, which was a small barrier to entry, and didn't bring money from Western normals to the table to influence Japanese studios.

It's that I want to feel special because I have a super niche hobby that no one knows about, it's that I used to be able to relate the most to anime fans before it became mainstream. Due to normalfags obsessing over western live action garbage shows in the 90s/00s, the only people who liked anime, and definitely the only people who liked anime and were online back then, were the weirdo reject outcasts like me. As a result it made for a nice way to escape the drudgery of every day life of being made fun of by normalfags. There used to be a ton of manga and anime where the protagonist was a loser shut in or outcast in some way because that used to be the target audience. But just like with everything that they do, normalfags injected reality and politics into it as well as watering down any real lore in order to make it easier to digest. Why do you think iskeai has been popular for the last couple of years now? Stuff like DragonBall Kai that condenses the story so a casual can hop on the bandwagon easily?

Anime used to be fun escapism for outcasts and then normalfags ruined it by injecting reality and politics in it.

I never saw any actual high status succubi engage in these things.

The only reason you should care is the obvious implication the quality of that thing will diminish and that's very real - you only need to look at video games, on a fundamental level the big games are simply not appealing, they're ugly, because the industry became so popular it's now tainted by bad faith actors (like feminists) that actively oppose things appealing to the target demographic (the male sex), or just otherwise poorly designed visual diarrhea made for the lowest common denominator of normalpebs. You can always say "I don't care those games always sucked / I'll play the old ones instead / I'll play indie games" but that doesn't change anything, it's very hard to find mainstream games that appeal to me which would've been easy 10 or so years ago. Before you call me a /pol/tard schizo, I've seen an anime dub by crunchyroll intentionally mistranslated to refer to the "patriarchy" (dragon maid) and a funimation dub call someone a "dumbass gamergate creepshow" an obvious not sly dig at the (male) audience, if that isn't hateful feminist rhetoric 101 I don't know what is. Again you can bypass this by tormenting and not using their shitty normalfag streaming services but the damage is still done, this is how it starts. Another example here >>39373.

Profit-seeking would be the cowardly way of phrasing what amounts to an attack on the audience, there isn't profit in making ugly characters but they do it anyway because they know gamers will take it in the rear end and keep buying, so why would I frame it incorrectly in that way? If you have self respect as a person who enjoys his hobbies that's much worse than companies simply trying to make money, which is what they've done forever.

Things like gacha crap and generic slice of life moe anime are trash but at least they aren't straight up insulting, they at least pander to the demographic in a vaguely honest way and that's leagues preferable to things being ugly on purpose.

I watched it and personally thought it was pretty entertaining nonetheless but it was really nothing special compared to other animes out there imho. The only reason for It's popularity among normalfilth is…
1. It's being streamed on and shilled for by jewflix
2. It's based off one of the most highly anticipated games in recent history that also had such a disastrous launch that it morphed the game into a big meme until now
3.And most obviously, it released at a time when Anime in it's current state is extremely popular among Westerners. If Halo Legends for example came out today it would've gotten the same popular reaction from normalfilth compared to when it orginally came out years ago and basically went unnoticed by most despite Halo being the top video game series at the time.

watched 1 episode, its because its easily accessible crap, has everything normalfags think is cool, sex and violence, plot seems very straightforward, is made by westerners so has no stigma

>>39578
youre retarded, current things being ruined means far less of a pool of potential entertainment to work with, revisiting old things is fine but unless youre actually braindead (though it sounds like you are) variety and new things are important

how about "live service" games that get progressively worse and worse over time and the thing you bought/played all those years ago now actually doesnt exist? oh damn i guess im actually a normalfag because unlike the normalfags like you who just take it up the bum and ignore it i actually complain about the degradation of things that are important to me, what about new stuff based on old stuff, could you complain about that or what that too make you a normalfag?

I tire of there being no rock bottom to this.

I remember a time when many normalfags wouldn't fork out for an expansion when they were (sometimes) worth it, and now they buy enough fake game currency to keep barely maintained timesinks like Destiny 2 running indefinitely at maximum profits.

I feel very lucky to not have this problem, due to my slow rate of watching. My watchlist is so long that it will take me probably the next 20 years to get through all of it. By that time, I will have forgotten the ones I've watched in the distant past enough to enjoy rewatching them. Therefore I can just repeat this 20-year cycle until I die.

I think your attempt at a prophecy is more wrong than the pregnancy of the popular 15-year-old.

Let's see, I'm one of those very rare cases of a perfect hybrid between a weeb and a chad. I'm a virgin, but everyone swears I'm not. Everywhere I present myself as such, I am a weeaboo, however I manage to fit perfectly in any social circle, simply because my abilities to manipulate and handle situations, and my good oratory, I can prove better than anyone that your prophecy will not come true. You see, most of the normie otakus I know could only tell you how much (chainsaw man, dragon ball, naruto, kimetsu no yaiba) and other mainstream anime of that ilk

Fandom is universal. The exact same spread has happened with north american nerd culture and nothing changed. A couple of hits take off and become normie'd while much older fandoms never do. Attaching self-image to any of this commercial crap is pointless

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. You also erroneously likened popularity of Japanese media abroad with popularity of American media in Americans, which is wrong, but you also missed two crucial details. First being that usage of computers and internet has vastly risen in the last decade, making fandoms god awful fucking dogshit, and that the vast majority of newfags to Japanese media(I would put them at around 95% of the fandom, though I just pulled it out of my ass.) have been retarded zoomers. There is also clearly a problem if a fandom multiplies XX times in size within just 5 years, as happened in this particular case.

You forgot to mention that the retarded zoomers are going to pay, and since *they* are the majority, Japanese studios will rather favor their tastes instead of some god-forsaken wizards.

The saving grace is ironically that 99% of the money they pay goes straight to netflix/crunchyroll, and not to the producers or the JP publishers, making them unlikely to cater to western audiences.
Problem is though, the average Japanese has been getting more and more "woke" with each passing year due to the bleed-in of retarded American identity politics into the JP side of social media, mostly twitter. They are still just a vocal minority of course, but they've been growing nonstop for many years now, and we all know the sheer destructive power of a bunch of no life retards screeching on social media 24/7 from our personal experience.

Because Netflix gets anime for free? Every anime that is on Netflix is because they pay the studio/publishers for it. Most is already made anime, at they just pay to stream it.

Stop acting like Twitter was invented yesterday. Japs are already aware that Twitter is filled with wokes and many have told them to go away. Stop acting like you guys discovered anything, everyone who was going to become woke already did. You're just coping at this point.

Not him but you can't tell me that Gen Z, the idiot generation who literally got z-lib shut down because they *needed* to tell everyone on tiktok where to get free books, doesn't have a hand in ruining fandoms. "Lurk moar" never applied to their generation so they never learnt to adjust.

Go back 10 years in time, geek culture went mainstream in the 2010's.
With the stupid MCU movies and then the first season of AOT, then One Punch Man, etc anime wasn't just for nerds anymore but full blown normies too.
But I didn't want to gatekeep my hobby, this is exactly what the og geeks wanted to achieve.
But now with the new wave libtards, and sjws these people want to form the medium into something it's not.
It happened to western animation and if the Japanese audience become more liberal they'll form anime into something unwacthable PC garbage western cartoons are already doing.

Listen, older generations are usually just either too dumb (no offense, they grew up without computers, so they can't really get into them) to ruin fandoms, or too old for such doings. On the contrary, zoomers are by far the most active part of the internet, so if something is getting ruined, you won't be much mistaken if you blame zoomers. On the other hand it were boomers who created the clown-world we live in today, so perhaps it's not entirely fault of zoomers.

I'm sure they've always had their eye on it but dumb shit zoomers blasted it all over tiktok that you could get free books on z-lib to the point that it was trending and tiktok blocked it:

>As reported by TorrentFreak last week, TikTok decided to block hashtags related to Z-Library, reportedly responding to copyright holder's complaints.


>"Reducing user discoverability of content that violates our Community Guidelines is of paramount importance," stated TikTok.


>"Accordingly, TikTok proactively blocks search results for terms that violate our Community Guidelines, including terms that relate to counterfeit goods […]. We also recently blocked search results for #zlibrary while our team assesses content associated with that hashtag."

Guys it's late night and I have a genial idea. TikTok was created for this reason. Look, this is an incredible profit.
1. Dumb zoomers will pay and they already earn ridiculous amount of money on that bullshit.
2. Dumb zoomers are so fucking dumb that they will share whatever is "cool but illegal" there, so that relatively obscure pirating sites will be brought up and therefore most civilized countries will *HAVE* to take measures!

This is a genial way to make them dig a grave they will be buried into. When I wake up I want to discover that the thought is wrong. No kidding.

It's good to have some group that you identify with. Anime is a most important pillar of our group. If we can't say that anime is something that belong to us, then well… that's sad.
But I think it all started declining long ago anyways.
