It's just strange. Being a hiki doesn't necessarily align with being a wizard. The tale of a character shutting themselves off from society then slowly rebinding the knots tying themselves to it is pretty common and cliche at this point, even Rozen Maiden followed this narrative. If we're talking about anything of recent, well, its Onimai, soon to approach its 100th chapter. Nekotofu is a knower as a college drop out otaku obsessed with doujin culture and a seemingly 12 year long gap in his employment, even if he is clearly really damn gay and has a pee fetish. However, I've yet to encounter anything that really illustrates the awfulness of having to deal with your parents in that situation, I guess that really is too painful of a narrative, and the catalyst for me going off to live alone and conquer my various fears, personally. They say a tomato grows sweeter if unwatered, so too in dealing with life's hardships I guess. But like I said, plenty of interesting takes on being a loner or having strange and isolating interests over the years. Not an uncommon thing in Japan at all, plenty of manga about loneliness and depression. In Kokou no Hito the MC literally envisions females as predatory insects and demons. (although he ultimately takes a wife in the end, but promptly abandons her lol)

Talk about Touhou here. I think the OP or something. It's been three months. We've all talked about our favorite characters, so what's your favorite part of the fandom? Do you like the setting the most, the characters the most, the lore the most, the music the most, or, like me, do you just idealize the series like I do?

What are you doing right now to enjoy the series?

>I don't know how people find the energy to argue about these things.
Admitting to not understanding something makes you come off as inept and impotent, two traits cast in iron by your belief that arguing online takes effort. AI is bad. He's been hand-drawing his work for 25 years. He has had his entire livelihood fueled by fanartists who work by hand. He has all the time in the world to work by hand now that his son is in school. ZUN should not have used AI, and expressing that in any manner is not partaking in a "culture war" like some tranny.

It's not on topic because it is more a discussion about AI than it is about touhou and it is culture war because it triggers both sides into throwing shit at each other and using emotional arguments like "I can curl more than you" unironically. I don't have the energy to go on a 10+ reply chain with you playing gotcha with each other. If you think AI is bad that is your prerogative to hate it. I was just about how every communities on the internet is full of people like you who can't help but start drama and arguments over nothing like a succubus with BPD. Expressing opinion my ass. Only someone new to the internet can't tell the difference between a genuinely curious person wanting to discuss a topic with a skubfag and I can tell you're the latter from a mile away.

Yeah, definitely an effeminate weakling who gets stressed out by the concept of people arguing. People like you have no business playing Touhou or enjoying its many wonderful fan works. Newsflash, dipshit: There are threads here dedicated to whining about 4chan, and there's an entire BOARD for you to be a poo-pants goobaby on. You not liking 4/jp/ is not an excuse to shit up the wizards' little thread with YOUR side of this "culture war".

Fine enjoy your dead thread. Soon there will be no more touhou or fan works to enjoy anymore anyway. Just AI generated slop and gachashit. Fanworks output and quality will keep declining, new fans will be alien to you, your altchans that's full of oldfags now will get deader and deader until eventually this little space in the internet that gives you comfort will be gone forever. I depart now but you will follow me one day.

Long titled RPG-themed fantasy / isekai franchises with such long names are usually too full of irony and "game mechanic" themes. Can't expect much from them. One can even wonder how much of the Japanese youth are familiar with JRPGs to even identify what's mocking or inspired by RPG elements.

I think there were even more underage users back then than now (at least before the 4chan refugees came). However there was a subgroup of higher quality chadwizards that were actually interested in disregarding succubi and pursuing their hobbies. Of course those types get bored of the site and leave eventually because there are not many like them to engage with each other among the constant flood of posts about sex and succubi

>too full of irony
That one played it straight. I don't have a issue with if they do it ironically or play it totally straight, it's about doing it well and telling a interesting story.

Like I loved KonoSuba (aka KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!) because it was well done, high effort, and mostly due to it being hilarious. But a lot of shows feel very low effort, badly done, and can't hit whatever feeling they aim to invoke. While this isn't a exclusively recent problem, because more shows then ever come out each season and each year for the past few years compared to last decade, even more low effort low quality slop is produced as a consequence.

Speaking of slop, I am also super annoyed that a lot of sites I use for watching anime are getting utterly flooded by cheap nonsensical Chinese slop. It makes searching by genera to find a show to watch irritating.

So for some reason I've started watching Precure, and I'm more or less caught up on the current season. The format is kind of similar to a "monster of the week" style super robot anime, but 14 year old succubi instead of robots, with the staple recycled stock footage and lightning paced story beats padding out episodic battles with the baddies. The real hook is the show's odd and charming dry sense of humor, and surprisingly there's a fair bit of character development as well. For example, Kokoro is good at dancing, like she was probably born to dancer, but chooses to to become an idol precure instead because they are the entire impetus of her desire to participate in this activity, and there's an entire episode of deliberation over this. Later on, important childhood milestones like experiencing new things outside of your narrow scope of existence, and the difference between having a dream and having a dream you NEED to fulfill are topics. Its still very average and cliche, its no doubt something written for children, but my interest has been sparked and I reckon I'll be exploring some more of this franchise soon.

I.D.K about you but I have many things going wrong with my life, but it's so awesome having anime/manga/LNs/VNs around, i can't believe there are entire meduims full of these wacky and colorful interesting things, i feel so lucky, i find my self watching a super old sports anime or master piece theater anime then jumping to watch some seasonal isekai or CGDCT show, i enjoy every genre under the sun, without this stuff my life would be more untolerable than it alrady is, i would go semi-nuts, i constantly look forward to watch or read something new, not to mention how often i re visit older titles, even if they are not all time favourites of mine.

What should be the best measures that we should take to gatekeep anime has hard as it get?
Remember, if you don't believe in gatekeeping, you are a normalgroid.

Some measures that I suggest are:
-Knowing in deep a lot about an anime, visual novel, light novel, novel, manga or game in particular.
-Having a decent knowledge about the medium.
-Being very invested into at least one work.
-Being very invested at least in one fandom.

Is not neccesary to have all these things, but at least one. What more should be added?

You're right, because I'm not a pansy who has to curl up in to a ball and weep whenever I see discussion about an anime I don't particularly find interesting. I'm not a snowflake and it feels good. If you're so damn passionate about gatekeeping anime discussion from people who want to discuss anime, then make your own forum. It's so easy to do that these days that even if I were as butthurt as you are about anime discussion, I still wouldn't know how it feels to not have a place to discuss my own tastes because I would just make my own board or undermine another. Your feels are unique to you due to your unique combo of butthurt and brainhurt.

I'm not the one whos been bumping a thread for 4 years seething about normalfags liking anime on a board full of people watching and playing the dumbest shit. You seem to be missing the point. You can't complain about anime when the board is mired in toonami and jumpshit that is so overtly normalfag even the teens its targeted at would think you're corny, and you can't complain about video games when the whole board is retards playing morrowind. People look like dumbasses when they complain like this and have nothing better to show. You're way isn't a better way, its an invasive way that's been eroding this place bit by bit ever since it got dragged into goober gate, which, by the way, happened because of whiny undesirables who brought nothing to the table. You can't say everything is shit when what you have is worse than the people you are complaining about. People think they can like utter garbage then sprinkle on some buzzwords about gatekeeping and feel justified in their lazy and dumb behavior.

I haven't watched the Pokemon anime in a long time, is there anything truly worth going back to, or is it all just blind nostalgia? I'll occasionally read news about the series, like how Ash finally won the Pokemon league, and has at long last been written off the show. Honestly, I lost interest in the anime after the infamous XYZ meltdowns and subsequent Sun and Moon seethe. Nothing will ever top that.

Calling it underrated is insane but I do actually think it's overhated. It gets a lot of flack for being "just a shounen" but making a 1000ep+ long epic adventure is an inherently cool concept and they execute it very well.
