/animu/ - Anime & Otaku Culture

Correction: Metropolis was not a TV show but a film.

>cherrypicking from 30+ years of anime

there were plenty of shit anime back then too anon

>what do you think needs to happen for the current age of anime to end?

something like what (((netflix))) or (((kickstarter))) have done: given studios the funding they need to make the projects either the studio wants to make (netflix) or backers want them to make (kickstarter), rather than depending on BD sales and merch to fund them (which is largely the cause of waifubait and stagnant character design).

>>47298

the only real question is this: how much if at all have Jews infiltrated anime?

besides Jews, I'm sick of the slice-of-life and high-school bullshit. Bring back more Manime.

>>47316

>there were plenty of shit anime back then too anon

I know you fucking faggot, the problem is that there are ZERO good anime now. Also, the amount of shitty anime back then was lower than it is now. I'd rather have a handful of really shitty anime and a handful of genuinely good anime every season like was the case then, than to have 50+ really shitty shows every season and one really good series a year like is the case now.

>given studios the funding they need to make the projects either the studio wants to make (netflix) or backers want them to make (kickstarter)

I think the issue with is that anime crowdfunding does often not raise enough money for anything more than like 15 minutes of animation, Kick-Heart is an example of an anime funded entirely with Kickstarter, it looks great but it was only 12 minutes long. The issue with large companies funding anime is that just like with current anime production commitees, there will always be a catch to why they get the funding; with Netflix this seemed to be that the series need to have some sort of political undertone.

>>47298

If you pick five series from a period of 40 seasons you're going to get the best. You can also do the reverse to tell how bad a decade is. In reality most anime are mediocre so if you don't enjoy even mediocre anime you're not an anime fan.

>>47316

Correct.

>>47317

The Jews fear the samurai.

>>47319

We have an Manime thread for you to whine in.

>>47321

>so if you don't enjoy even mediocre anime you're not an anime fan

Modern anime is not mediocre, it's unredeemable garbage. I don't agree with your stance though, I enjoy anime from all genres and eras but only if they're well-made and if there was some sort of love put into them. This is not the case with all those shitty LN adaption that have same-face character designs.

>>47326

Then you're not an anime fan. You're a medium hopper that will only enjoy the best of any given medium before sticking your dick into the next. It also makes you feel good to hate something which is a character flaw. Read books then. You have 3000 years worth of cherry picking to do with that.

>>47321

>i-i-i don't like you here!

get over it

>>47334

Eat my dick, sensitive nu-male.

>>47335

Eat my shit, gender-fluid faggot.

>>47336

You have some degenerate fetishes.

>>47331

I'm not a medium hopper, I don't give a shit about literature, live-action tv shows, western animation, vidya etc. You're just projecting your own low standards on me.

>hurr I enjoy eating shit that means you have to also like eating shit if you want to call yourself a food fan

Kill yourself, normalfag.

>>47340

You watch 50 anime and you call yourself the king of taste? Fuck off faggot. You don't enjoy anime.

>>47339

>"u-u-ur not a real sekrit clubber!"

>>47344

You're going to have to come with a new boogeyman to haunt your dreams of posting on /animu/. I don't have a nickname because I'm just a regular poster. I can fade back into the ether anytime I want instead of sticking to some schtick autistically parroting myself like a retard. 4/10. You actually offended me.

>>47344

>/pol/eddit shills slice-of-life and high-school shit

they always did have a masculinity problem.

Compared to now, how much Korean outsourcing and similar methods was done back in the day, anyway?

>>47346

glad you're offended, you deserve it.

>>47348

Koreans have been used for the past 25 years. It's just cheaper so from a business stand point when you don't have a lot of money the studio will "make it werk". These days are more trying to use new tech to improve the process for cheaper. That's why you get 3DCGI anime. Like any new budding tech it's going to suck at first.

>>47352

fuck you up the ass, dipshit.

go ahead and ban me, I'll just come back with proxies again :^)

>>47353

would it even have been viable to use koreans before the digital age? having to ship cels between japan and korea must have been quite expensive

>>47341

I've finished nearly 500 anime as of date and dropped hundreds, go fuck yourself. People who use the "muh newfag" claim are often new to anime themselves.

>>47343

Madoka Magica is shit and overrated, just because it has high ratings doesn't make it good. Mushishi is great but it was adopted from a manga that was made prior to this decade.

>gup

And you call me a troll?

>>47355

Typically it's inbetweens. So you have a pencil drawing of the keys and you ship them a copy and they paint the frames between the key frames. They ship the finished product back and it's cheaper than hiring someone in house. It comes with the risk of being a shoddy product but that's a decision the production committee and the director have to make: does the benefit outweigh the cost?

>>47298

We all love cancer, anon.

Why change something that is already in all of us.

This is how long anime takes to be made currently.

>>47324

From what I hear is that rural areas have it better in terms of the schooling and tend to be less depressed, from some other anons who lived in Japan.

>>47418

They will because 12 year old elitists like yourself will be in the future looking back at the 10s with rose-tinted glasses.

>>47413

You kinda have a valid point.

>>47413

>I love the 90's, I adore it, it's my favorite decade in music history by far

That is fucking garbage.

>>47419

No things have objectively gotten worse.

The styles and production method have changed.

Things are more washed out now than they used to be, and alot of it is poorly drawn. There's barely any attention to detail compared to anime from the 80s. It's all jerky too, not smooth like it used to be.

>>47428

It's a good thing you don't matter.

>>47428

Even SOL shows that are supposed to be cute are garbage and fail to capture the spirit of the truly good ones like Yuru Yuri or Binchou-tan, take some recent examples like Hinako Note or Gabriel DropOut for example. Fuck, there are probably even more recent examples of SOL shows that sucked ass but I quit watching seasonal anime altogether like a year ago.

>Wants to "fix" anime

>doesn't even know Japanese

Don't make me laugh.,anon.

>>47298

Fix modern society.

The japs are less fucked than us in this regard, but it doesn't mean that they aren't affected by the globalist-materialist culture the US forced on the world. Fact is, you're going to reliably make the most money by captivating an audience early and you can avoid losses best by closely imitating what was successful before while cutting corners wherever possible.

It is irrational to expect someone operating within the current civilizational paradigm to do anything else.

It'll probably fix itself once America collapses, Europe becomes a Caliphate while Japan reinstates the Emperor as divine head of state and enters a new period of Sakoku until they go back to a truly Japanese society rather than a western society with Japanese characteristics.

>>47443

I'm not saying I have the ability to fix anime, I just wanted to hear proposals of what could be possible solutions to the problem I described. I realise that Japs don't give a shit about westerners but sometimes I find myself wondering if there aren't otaku Japs out there who have a similar mindset and find the current state of affairs depressing. It can't possible be that the average Japanese anime fan that is older than say, 12 actually likes the kind of shit that is being pumped out right now.

>>47449

Interesting take, could you perhaps give some examples of how anime is affected by western kikery? I know about the state of affairs surrounding Netflix-funded anime but I don't really see how the leftist cancer from the west has really affected anime as a whole so far.

I do notice a strong increase in adaptions of Chinese works which is interesting as most Japs seemingly despise the Chinese and vice versa.

>>47451

I said in that same post that every year one genuinely good series does come out. The zero part was supposed to be an hyperbole.

Anyway, I already said in the OP that this thread is not supposed to be about discussing old anime but about how to make modern anime good. And just because you disagree with me doesn't make me a shitposter.

>>47455

>just because you disagree with me doesn't make me a shitposter.

That's not the reason you're a shitposter.

None of you fags were watching anime in the 80s, and very few of you were in the 90s.

>>47469

I wasn't even born until 1998. How is that my fault?

>>47469

Do you have to be alive during a certain era to be able to put greater value in the works of that specific era and think that they were better than its modern-day counterpart? If a person who did watch anime during those times were to say these things then you would just say that he's doing so because of nostalgia, you seasonalfags always have excuses.

>>47470

Stop being a faggot.

>>47298

>How to fix anime in the current year.

I'll give the solution to all media in the current year.

The abolishment of irony, insincerity constant mockery and memefication of things.

Especially the things that should be inspiring, like fantasy.

Simply taking "magical whimsy"seriously again would refresh many souls.

That is all, please use your intellect to extrapolate the ramifications of the concept of sincerity to other genres.

It is the most easily obtainable solution, yet also the most effective. Even if everything else remained, like jew infestations and co, anime would still improve.

Many people are tired of chomping on their bits having to endure "irony", which often drags things through the mud.

>>47479

There is plenty of great anime that has come out in the past 5 years and I don't think it's fair to dismiss them just because the industry is oversaturated with low quality poorly animated high school romcom #456. Blame the free market, they wouldn't be making this crap if it didn't sell.

>>47484

Oh, wisecracking is fine though. Bring on the dark Schneiders and co.

It's just "irony", that is the poison. Insincerity. Be a goof but be a sincere one.

This is hard to put into words but I am sure you can read the air of my post, so to speak.

Don't make a mockery out of your own creation.

Be an ulillillia, who takes even his weirdass autismo stories seriously.

Knuckles, his weird fucking OC is treated with utmost sincerity, it's kind of a retarded character, but taking even that seriously in the context of his work is so much better for him than not, even if his autismo shit is still unintentionally funny.

At least he would be able to sincerely entertain a child who doesn't know better, but still deliver a sincere albeit awkward product.

Simple things can be nice if they are sincere.

>>47487

Alright, I'm going to list all the TV anime that I think are genuinely good that have aired in the last 3 years. That means no "well, it wasn't that bad…" or "there wasn't THAT much cg…" bullshit excuses, only shows that had love put into them and can somewhat be compared to anime of old and didn't rely on following an already existing template to attain popularity.

>Hakumei to Mikochi

>Mahoujin Guruguru

>first half of Little Witch Academia

>Urara Meirochou

>Kemono Friends

>Flip Flappers

>Uchouten Kazoku 2

There a few handful of others that I enjoyed but had major issues with either writing or visuals and/or were forgettable. Now, one might say that this is a reasonable amount of good anime but this is a list of shows that have aired over a timespan of 3 years in which hundreds of series aired. And yet I only really enjoyed a few of them. Meanwhile, if you gave me a random year, ONE year, in the 90s or 2000s, I could easily pick double this amount.

Also, these are shows that I think are of high quality and tried something different but they're still nothing compared to the best of the previous decades. The 2010s are almost over and we had nothing as memorable as Evangelion, Lain or even something a bit less popular like Kino's Journey or Haibane Renmei; something that people talk about years after they ended airing. The closest thing we had was Kill la Kill but that mainly blew up because it had a really good first episode but constantly declined after that.

>>47450

Anime is effected because the entire Jap society is built on the western/American model. It's more resistant due to them mixing it a bit with local ideas, but it's still American materialism that rules the land in Japan and it means that they're going to produce the things with the highest chance of a good return, the lowest chance of a failure, and the least cost possible. It's capitalism (note: communism isn't any better). The people in control of the anime industry don't believe in any higher values than money, so they only go after money. They don't give a shit if their product is good as long as it makes money. Because that's what society tells them is good, since that mindset is really the only way to get ahead.

Yes, you did. And you demanded of the brits to give up their Empire. And you forced the Japs to stop having their Emperor as a god and to not have him as head of state.

You're responsible for the current state of the world.

>>47484

You aren't wrong. I can't explain it any better, but if you don't get it from reading the post, go read "The King of Elfland's Daughter". It's a really old fantasy story (as in, pre-Tolkien), and it shows the differences to modern fantasy very strongly.

>>47613

>You're responsible for the current state of the world.

Friendly reminder that the Western world had always been under (((their))) thumb ever since before the Industrial Revolution.

Both Britcucks and the Americucks played a pivotal role in paving the way for Israel's rise in power. Both were nothing but the Jews' houseniggers.

>>47589

What if these are all my genuine opinions but I just happen to write in an exaggerated manner? Stop pretending like anything you don't like is shitposting.

Going back to cel animation would solve a lot of problems.

>>47583

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the "parodies" of LN tropes shows which pretend to be self-aware but eventually end up being exactly like the real deal like Konosuba, Re;Zero, Ero-Manga Sensei etc.

>>47583

>I'm sorry anon, you may have brain problems for thinking that mockery and irony is a poison.

You'll wish people like me back when it is YOUR turn to be tired of that kind of shit and then you have to hear people like YOU mock you for wanting something that should be fundamental to any work of art.

You want to see what irony does to media?

Look at western cartoons. Look at things like "disenchanted".

Hataraku Maosama and that recent one, Dropkick something or other.

I think both started out with a nice and serious fantasy looking thing, but no, fuck that.

Have a gag (harem) show.

Gotta laugh, goy. Laugh, goy.

Fucking keep laughing. Keep the fuck laughing. Gotta ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Tired of laughing yet? I supe hope not cause ha ha here look at this mythological creature, here, lets stab it in the head.

Hah ha hah ah hahahahahaha.

Inspiration? Soaring souls? Celebration of beauty and whimsy and deep, meaningful peril?

Thinking big and showing visions of a future that one might want to work toward?

Yeah, nah, cunt. Eat your dressed up tsukkomi performance, look they both have nice fuckable bodies. You don't need anything else.

Yearn as much for even basic bitch stuff like embed as you like.

Eat your fucking boke! flakes. Faggot. The eternal tsukkomi and laughing at things. Laugh at the fantasy.

Laugh at this creature that could be used to tell a gripping story, she's a tsukkomi bitch now.

Raff motherfuckar! RAFF!

>>47642

> she's a tsukkomi bitch now.

by the way, the long term effect of that that it will be harder for you to enjoy something like that even if they do take it seriously if until now everything just got fucking mocked to death.

When was the last time you took a skeleton seriously?

In reality, the thought of even the bones of someone that has passed away and was supposed to be resting and kept cherished with a "in memoriam" plaque being animated and forced to do the dark biddings of some degenerate, perverted (as in twisted) new master would be an incredibly warped, awful thing.

But, no, bro, doot doot, motherfucker.

Doot, doot, door.

Exorcise all things that go beyond a chuckle.

You only need gags and maybe a fap here and there.

After some years of monster girls, would you be able to take a show that doesn't use them as meme fap bait seriously? Would you see the honest attempt of creating something supernatular or would you think "lol that's a bunyip and they don't behave like that"?

RAFF, BICHI! RAFF!

>no fun allowed

Fun is allowed, just take care when it comes to things, don't let them exorcise ALL things, it's completely fine to demand something with substance.

>>47644

and tl; dr:

we gave it away for a cheap joke.

we had to laugh, bro, so we gave it away, no matter what it was, just to do that nasal exhale "laugh" and, if it was particularily "funny" actually chuckle or laugh here and there.

That's worth it.

Do handstands and put bottles in your ass in irony, it's funny. Lol. That funny lol is worth it.

Cherished things propagated throughout the history of all of our peoples, European, Japanese, now nothing but a laughing stock.

Things that were a flame in the darkness for our people, now nothing but a laughing stock.

Ideals and dreams to give meaning to yourself and the world, now nothing but a laughing stock.

It's like veganism, insidious, if you were raised with proper food it will take a decade or so for the effects to really come in, same with anime.

You'll laugh, a decade, two…but in the second you might have already been damaged,but kept silent from seeing all the repeats, the same shit but no matter how much you take in, you feel hungry.

Your laugh lasted for a few minutes, the thing you laughed at could have lasted you for longer had it been played straight.

the embed of this post is liked by many, the music, the comfy "idea", and it's based on a silly little character, but it refreshes the souls of people.

It's so powerful, but we gotta laugh, I guess.

>>47645

>the embed of this post is liked by many, the music, the comfy "idea", and it's based on a silly little character, but it refreshes the souls of people.

Which just shows the meaning I wanted to get at in my earlier post:

>Simple things can be nice if they are sincere.

>>47484

>It is the most easily obtainable solution, yet also the most effective.

It really is the most easily obtained solution, too.

This gondola clip is refreshing and wholesome because it simply takes itself and the message it wants to express seriously.

But apparently I am brain damaged. So take that with a grain of salt.

>>47640

If that's the case neither of you know what irony means.

>>47646

>>47642

There are a few sincere or at least only very mildly "ironic" fantasy anime/manga in the style that you describe, but they are not popular or actually used to be popular but are now just considered a niche. Guin Saga is an example. I guess it didn't help that the source material for that one are actual fantasy novels.

>implying American culture (and jews) hasn't tainted everything and every culture on Earth

>>48924

Not a Burgeristani, but even Americans have culture. Motown by itself made my fellow countrymen stops trying to make music anymore.

This is the never-ending march of "progress". Your internet will be flooded with normalfag shitters. Your fringe internet communities will be flooded with idiots. Your films will become ADHD capeshit. Your anime will be taken over by streamsitesl And you'll leave here too. You won't be able to make a new board, a new site, because the problem isn't how hidden your community is, or infiltrators, or shit moderation. It's a common factor in everything that is bad for us right now. Normalniggers dominate the internet in increasing numbers every year. You can't filter out idiocy when only 1% of the internet population isn't a fuckwit or some gen Z iphone kid.

I don't know why you'd think you can stop, reverse, or change the direction things are headed. Everything is going in one direction. Even politically you won't reverse "progress", and politics can be argued to our favor, while the progress in technology, ease of access to the internet, is a fact.

>>49916

There's always space for a niche community, anon. I agree that normalfags ruin shit for everyone. But niche will still be there. You have to be genki, not cranky!

>>49916

>You can't filter out idiocy when only 1% of the internet population isn't a fuckwit or some gen Z iphone kid

Sure you can, at least approximately.

I guarantee you that, for example, an IPFS-imageboard wouldn't suffer from normalfag invasion for years to come as they couldn't even get it installed.

A gopher textboard or a bbs wouldn't suffer from normalfag invasion because they'd just laugh it off as too old-fashioned.

>>49373

>but even Americans have culture

Not much, since most of American "culture" can be traced back to Europe and (((them))).

But to be fair 500+ years is not enough to develop a wealth of culture.

>>49916

>>50090

I've been thinking of a concept of a closed anonymous imageboard/forum where registration is hidden and restricted with steep filtering level, like IRC interviews on a private trackers. The imageboard/forum itself is closed/invisible to lurkers and people without account, and anonymity is enforced to every registered members except to moderators and administrators, meaning no usernames, avatars and signatures visible most of the time.

Getting good moderators and administrators who won't get high on their own power will still be a problem, but at least the forum doesn't have to deal with normalfaggots as much as these open imageboards we're inhabiting.

IPFS and other technical barriers might prevent normalfags from joining, but it doesn't have much time barrier and I think once popular Jewtubers make tutorials on how to penetrate those IPFS forums we'll still be fucked.

If you want a more secure barrier, look at Gentoo: its installation takes 9 hours and some real effort, even with proper guides, and the result is only neckbeards bother to install it.

>>50094

>500+ years is not enough to develop a wealth of culture.

Would you kindly elaborate that? And how much time does it take for a culture to grow rich?

I've been to a third world country whose native culture has been destroyed by Islam around the 16th century and the populace is now practically a mix of Araboos and Westaboos, at least in my observation. It's interesting how (forced) cultural admixture only confuse societies and damages their unity.

>Anime is fantastic right now

You can't even watch anime with subtitles anymore. Only available subs are some corporate faggot who thinks we don't actually care what they're saying, and chooses to do an English re-writing of each sentence, with no cultural references, and everything Anglicised.

>anikinnoisseurs

haha K I N O :D

>And with CGI at their disposal, opening up a whole new world of possibilities, they can be increasingly more creative in approach

I can't tell if this is bait. I'm so detached from the average normalshitter I don't know if people seriously believe this.

>Art is universally clean and pretty, usually on-model, and are more serious than previous eras

These are the retards that /pol/ attracts. Newfags who saw anime reaction pics for the first time in 2015, and it shapes their entire introduction and understanding of anime. Computers can't create art you fucking retard. Human effort literally defines what art is.

>Everything and everyone is cute!

I should've finished reading. Feel like a retard now not recognizing bait.

>>50109

>But I can understand enough nip to tell that you're blowing a bunch of shit.

There are no cultural notes in crunchyroll subs. None, ever. They replace all Japanese expressions. They write modern English expressions for no reason somtimes too, which is really distracting. Like if they wrote YOLO in 2012. They needlessly change the meaning of sentences when it's not important, writing translations for key words that are wholly incorrect just because they think it's better than the original writing.

When your job is to express loosely what the sentence means in a way that sounds good to English speakers, this is the shit you get.

There are a dozen indicators you're a newfag in your post, such as your limited vocabulary, "unironically kino", so it's sad reading your anything you type out. I wouldn't be surprised if Crunchyroll subs are all you've experienced, and you've probably never watched an anime with a quality fan translation. I feel sorry for you because I know you're going to become dumber, probably still saying kino for another 2 or 3 years and forgetting how to construct a sentence, and finally become a vegetable incapable of original thought.

I'd prefer if OP restrained his terrible posts and whining to /v/, /tv/ or any of the other boards he inflicts himself on.

>>50128

>Deepfags can an hero themselves

Was consciously getting these feelings as soon as I started reading your post. The derailing this thread is getting makes me more sad each time. I'm not even sure if OP was serious now, judging by this board's fervent defence of modern anime I feel it's likely he was baiting and I emotionally empathized with a fake person.

Newfag here.

>>50132

Could the derail defense force be the ones doing ironic shitposting?

I also believe the best gems availeable are oldanime and that in therms of quantity of quality series the 2000's are lacking, but I see little point in bitching about it as much as some people do.

>>50132

OP has these same wordy rants about modern anime in half the threads on this board and on /v/, /pol/, etc. OP is stringing together buzzwords and name drops classics to make it seem like there is some kind of reasonable insight on the subject, but once you've read that shit it just comes out as "I don't like modern anime and if you do you're objectively wrong because I said so."

OP is laying b8 for retards that would mistake a childish rant as intellectual just because it comes off as well written to someone without reading comprehension. It would actually be kinda funny but OP is too autistic to keep consistent and tends to sperg out instantly when confronted. It would actually be worse if OP was sincere because that would mean this person is getting assravaged 24/7 on multiple boards over people watching little girl cartoons he doesn't like.

I think any industry reflects in one way or another the general health of a country's economy. And japan has been wobbling for some good 2 decades. I blame Shinzo Abe (then minister of economy, now PM, may god have mercy on the nips) for their current keynesian trap.

As a result, you see less passionate workers and some jobs going overseas.

>>47316

>something like what (((netflix))) or (((kickstarter))) have done

Something like this.

I have seen the Netflox anime and are not as far from the industry as one would think, they are quite similar to those animes that come out each season and that highlights a little of the others only that you notice that they have a little more budget.

Why doesn't it carry over though? You're not a fan of film, because you only went to 5 Hollyjew movies to come out this year (even if you've watched a hundred torrented, older movies).

Saying that, I do enjoy mediocre movies, even Marvel ones. I've always seen that as something bad.

>>75888

This is true. Anime looks worse than ever (yes, much worse than before high resolution forced them to over simplify every coloring, remove all shading and use omnilight with sharp outlines)

And yes, lolis are also basically dead in anime, unless it's an adaptation that "doesn't offend anyone", so basically something that could air as a morning cartoon, visually speaking.

>>75897

I don't fucking care for "hurr blackpill vs hope" bullshit. Fuck that retarded buzzword spouting.

Point is that anime looks horrible, are horrible ("plot heavy" series will always only be never-go-anywhere advertisement series, while SoL/cute series will be extremely low budget ones), while fanservice will be the equivalent of western values (huge tits everywhere in your face, no loli allowed), and at best we get one or two original series a year that are NOT meant to pave the way for some mobage franchise expansion, and actually somehow good.

This is what the anime industry is now.

>>75903

Not necessarily disagree but you faggots are huge drama queens about it. You'd have a point if you appealed to slippery slope but SoL moeshit is that you guys shit on is the polar opposite of western subversion that blatantly demonizes innocence, femininity and ephebephilia connotations.

The only examples I can think of fitting this >>75900 fag's description is Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, that I really doubt is as popular in Japan s it is in western SJWeebs and of which the most popular character is still a loli and that other abomination about 2.5Ds talking about their periods and fucking Hollywood niggers that can't even remember its name which probably has less domestic demand than fucking Watamote.

>>75910

Are you shitting me?

Look at all the fucking fanservice, it's tits, tits, tits everywhere. And what happens when a lolicon series gets adapted? Look at Nanoha ViviD, look at Uchi no Maid-sama that's just airing. Countless nudity and pantyshots, whereas the anime completely cuts or changes those scenes - not even BD had them in Vivid's case, and same thing for Uchi no Maid.

Of course it happened with Maid Dragon too, and Illya got butchered quite heavily, especially in latter seasons, even if they had some spicy OVA to make up for it. Even legal lolis get the same treatment usually. The only way we get some lewd lolis is that the series goes completely under radar, and the loli's lewd bits overshadowed by metric tons of heavier titty monster service.

>loliautist is also blackpillfag

how can a single person be so wrong?

>>75910

Also I don't shit on "SoL moeshit", in itself, I'm stating the fact that those shows get no budget and are just low profile, or filler projects. That pretty much fits the "western influence" slope, since the west doesn't give a shit about them, and apparently neither do studios. Oh, but they DO remove loli sexualization too, if there's any present.

>>75912

He isn't, and he's right.

If you want proof, look at how loli ecchi died in anime. QED

Ah, I see that SoL hater retard is just trolling, but can't even bother to be right about one thing. Maybe if "pedobait" shows didn't start to die out at that time instead of somehow getting a surge, you would be more beliavable.

No more (you).

So much based. The fact that many autists don't want to accept, is that nothing is good anymore, and nothing will ever be good ever again. Every anime released recently has been mediocre at best and that is a fact that the most redpilled of us must accept with honesty and transparency. Everything is shit now.

>We need change, whether that comes from a new technology, a healthy collapse, a war or a new mindset backed with an improved way of teaching business in schools.

It is, when it shows up in certain places like non-sexy fanservice shows where it wasn't originally. I read Parasyte shortly before it got its recent anime adaption and there were several fan-service moments not in the manga added just for that very reason. Most noticibly, "MC falls into girl and grabs her tits". That isn't what Parasyte is about. It's a change made to pander to a demographic because sex sells, and it's done all the time. You have to be heavily in denial to not realize this. But saying this is pointless because my entire argument will be strawmanned as being against sexy fan-service in general.

Don't think anime is any better or worse on the whole. Trends come and go. Every era has it's own kind of appeal.

I'd be more worried about laws (that westerners can't affect) getting pushed in the next year than I would be about culture and such.

I just find Miyazaki movies the most boring shit imaginable, same goes for 80s OVAs. I don't need fluid animations or pretty colors, it's all things I can imagine, I don't need to see something in fluid animation. You're right that the modern industry shits out low-effort garbage but nothing really has changed. All I need is for something to keep me interested. Nothing else matters. I think people (myself included) just need to consume less. There's just too much anime so obviously it's all going to look the same. It's never going to be enough at the same time. What's creative about Berserk's animation? The anime is a literal slideshow so I can't help but wonder why you didn't name an actual good OVA instead of something so clearly inferior to its source material. Anime still caters to otaku. It's just that otaku are defined by the things they purchase, they're scum, they've got no taste and will watch anything with a girl in it. That's the actual problem here. The otaku you claim were responsible for the OVAs of the 80s and 90s are, in fact, just paypigs.

>>115906

> Something to keep in mind is that Japan has been really fucking gay for centuries. Just look at Japanese folklore (can anyone say Kappa?). Samurai were encouraged to have romantic relationships with one another because their leaders thought it would make them harsher in battle if the other was injured/killed. Women in Japan were mostly just seen as something to produce offspring up until about the 1800s and weren't really seen as "equal" to men until about the late 70s/early 80s. The entire concept of sexuality in Japan is sort of different than that of Western ideals and shit's hard to explain without referring incorrectly to western ideals (see my statement that Japan used to be ultra gay). What we'd consider pretty fucking gay like sticking your finger up someone's asshole is considered a practical joke over there. Flamboyance is considered personal style rather than something tied to sexuality. Dudes regularly take baths together and even wash each other's backs, something interpreted as intimacy, but not as being gay. Skinship is not gay over there unless the balls touch. This doesn't even get into the female side of things (which basically up to and including full-on yuri sex is not considered gay but rather mutual masturbation according to the Japanese mindset). In the west, LGBT is about a sort of "expression in public" which is how it gets pushed. In 1950s Asian America Japan, LGBT is literally about fucking guys up the ass and girls marrying girls, and has completely different connotations. People can basically be gay lovers in Japan, they just can't get married or rent a love hotel room. Incest is more likely to get pushed in Japan than LGBT, and most of the world already thinks that Japan is LGBT-friendly because they misunderstand how things work over there at a fundamental level.

Just because faggotry is kind of a tradition in nipland doesn't mean it can't serve as a fracture point for corrosive "progress"ivism. I agree on that there's not much we can do to directly influence domestic markets but we must realize that it is us and not the SJWADHD crowd that dictates the main demand of the industry in its smaller western portion.

Nips are already aware of the subversion attempts made by (((localization teams))) and we have to speak against that with our wallets since not even the greediest Japanese CEOs would agree to pozz their country to death for mere pennies.

Problem right now is the face of the western market is twitter. And twitter is infested.

>main demand

Most of the statistics from merchandise purchase/BD purchase would be obfuscated by the fact that it has to go through internal channels first. When you buyfag it's highly likely you would purchase from Japan directly or get someone to purchase for you. That means that it's not counted as part of the western market. Normalfags on the other hand would do these purchases, buying up dub releases and translated novels. That means on paper, the market wants YenPress and Funimation. That said, I do believe the main demand isn't the SJW crowd. They're too busy screeching at the next thing to buy anything. Silent majority and all that.

>doesn't mean it can't serve as a fracture point for corrosive "progress"ivism

I agree. Nipland has undergone huge changes due to losing ww2 and their restructuring. Much of the old traditional culture is dying out as the population ages. What this means is the new generation in Japan would begin their path down progressiveness too. So whether or not it would bleed into other things like anime depends on how the JP otakus react to it.

Streaming is a problem though. That is, if the companies don't implode first. Crunchyroll, netflix, hulu, funimation are currently at war snatching up anime rights. The convenience factor is dropping. They're hinging on accessibility now. They're all shit, but they will cement themselves as the face of the western market (for anime at least). Because it sounds really nice to have your show on a platform that services almost the entire world and has such and such viewers. Why bother with physical copies if you don't know if they even sell? It's also going to be a much more instant return. They will know right away if the show will do well, and merchandise/BD are a bonus.

>yet they suck Japanese corporate dick harder than ever (to the point where their two-cour co-op series or whatever the fuck they are, are getting axed because they don't make any money)

Why is that sucking Japanese corporate dick? If it's not making money for CR, they shouldn't continue it either? Axing a show that isn't doing well and moving on seems like a reasonable thing to do. Especially since they're trying to get market share against other streaming services.

>>116120

>I began writing a long-winded paragraph (twice) explaining why you're schizophrenic,

No you just said a lot of nothing nobody reads. This barely has shit to do with the anime industry. Its all politics and derailment of the topic at hand.

> but then I decided it would be easier to just tell you to go fuck yourself.

No you just keep responding and using sage like a faggot. Opposite of your intention.

>If making a difference relies on telling others what to do/hiding behind a community shield because you lack the drive and ambition to be the change you want to see,

Definitely projecting here.

>I've been to Japan, I'm doing my reps, and I want no part in whatever the voices in your head are telling you to do to make Japan great again more great? It's fucking fantastic and I look forward to getting shitfaced on my next trip.

Has nothing to do with the topic, you are trying to pretend because you traveled to some country you automatically know everything of the culture which means you are a dumbfuck. You also drink which is a sign that you have a lack of motor function and a lack of understanding of anything outside your own world view.

>1) The anime industry doesn't care about the west.

Not what you said here >>115972 nice try though.

>4) Therefore realistically the only thing you're going to affect are localization efforts.

>5) This requires time and effort, two things you clearly have zero desire to do.

lol yes anon whine about the fact that everyone should do your homework for you, they should provide localization while you sit there and drink and whine all day. Become the change you want or just watch everything suffer like it is in your head faggot.

>Since you seem so keen on shooting down my opinion for absolutely no apparent reason other than "because I don't want to do the work myself," what do you propose be done?

That is what you are saying above and projecting that onto me. I am not the one to do your homework for you or to change the industry. Only you can do it because you desire to do so.

>The only thing you can reasonably affect are localisations unless you happen to be a millionaire willing to throw away your fortune on an audience (Japanese) that you clearly don't understand.

There is good localization companies, dismissing all of them because a few bad actors is what leads to a purity spiral and seems to be a British blindspot. Viz Media does not fuck up localizations, neither does Discotek or Sentai Filmworks. Supporting competition does. Put your money where your mouth is than being a blackpill fag and get people to start supporting alternatives. This is the only way it can work. Hitting the gym is far better than sitting there and wasting away, being proactive is what will make things greater.

>Problem right now is the face of the western market is twitter. And twitter is infested with Tumblr refugees.

They are not the market. If they were that 2 cour anime would have not been cancelled outright. If something does not sell Japan will not make anything for it. It did not, so they will not cater to that market.

>Normalfags on the other hand would do these purchases, buying up dub releases and translated novels. That means on paper, the market wants YenPress and Funimation. That said, I do believe the main demand isn't the SJW crowd. They're too busy screeching at the next thing to buy anything. Silent majority and all that.

Agreed we are a silent majority. If you notice more casual fans of anime who have no gearing towards politics are buying Blu-Rays nowadays on top of that count in the 80's and 90's finally getting licensed that the West missed out on and you are seeing far greater releases than ever before.

>What this means is the new generation in Japan would begin their path down progressiveness too. So whether or not it would bleed into other things like anime depends on how the JP otakus react to it.

They are still taught nationalist Japanese books and various other things in schools. Progressivism is not what it is, but a broad acceptance of fanservice, ecchi etc.

>Streaming is a problem though. That is, if the companies don't implode first. Crunchyroll, netflix, hulu, funimation are currently at war snatching up anime rights. The convenience factor is dropping.

I agree it is a bubble. Especially if there is more competition and exclusives start going around to various platforms it can cause issues. The Blu-Ray distributions are different though because Blu-Ray rights are not always on Streaming rights.

>Why bother with physical copies if you don't know if they even sell? It's also going to be a much more instant return. They will know right away if the show will do well, and merchandise/BD are a bonus.

I think they have statistics and various other things. But being able to make it common that some shows in Japan come over to the West and making Western audiences use to it will mean that yes while some licenses will fail it will not be the be all and end all like it was for Geneon(aka pioneer).

>twitter isn't the market

True. I specifically said face because I fear too many JP corporations lending too much credence to twitter as representative of the market. Especially as 2020 Olympics rolls around. It's easy to view the first week of release backlash as the entire market hating it when the actual purchase/views aren't as apparent until a week or two after. Corporations get jittery if there is any hint of loss. Anons in this thread have said that it should be only temporary, mostly to keep the Gaijins happy and make Japan money. I do hope this is the case.

>taught nationalist books

That doesn't solve progressiveness from taking root. Nationalism won't change their declining birth rate because the nip girls don't want to start families. Progressivism will take root as more and more problems begin springing up due to these societal issues. The books are mostly to absolve the nips of any consequences from WW2.

Have the Chinese take over and do everything better, then get them to wake up and stop recycling tropes for 10 years.

By that point we would already be accepting china as the new leader of cute animated cartoon girls.

its over... moeshit won... anime is fucking dead

/v/ surrendered vidya to the SJWs.

/co/ surrendered comics to the SJWs

We should do the same with anime and manga.

>This thread reeks of gamergators. Fuck back off to where your underage ass came from. Learn the language first.

Reminder we have an infestation of /leftypol/ and the BO is doing nothing to stop it. They bait anons with leftist posts, then the mods ban those who reply them just like on Resetera (for no reason, but hazy accusations of spergout).

>>117868

You don't have to do shit, they're already taking the board for themselves through mod infiltration.

>>117880

Anywhere they're allowed to feel comfortable they'll inevitably take root and force out the original population from the top down.

>that last line

Kill yourself.

>>47298

I'm worried about CG. CG will DEFINATELY replace 2D animation. In the UK it's happened already and some of those are foreign show anyway. Seriously it will happen.

>>118582

It's more efficent to produce, Ijust hope as time goes they improve it.

>>118583

I don't want it. Sometimes it's fine but I like 2d. I hate seeing all the art I like die

>>118584

Neither do I anon, but it's a production revolution right now.

>>118591

That's a Chink, not a Jap.

>>118590

At this point I'm just watching "pre cg" stuff, and some occasional season stuff.

>>118593

Ko Takeuchi's a Jap, though.

Hey remember when you idiots said they coudnl't touch Japan. Guess what, they can. They have no limits since this social justice shite comes from the top down. It's the people the rule the world that push this
