Most western popular mainstream/tiktok anime 14+ is boring, extremely autistic, or cringe in a bad way. I never liked anime due to thinking it was going to turn me into a retard. eg pokemon, digimon, my hero academia, naruto, spy x family, demonslayer, hunter x hunter you get the idea lol. There are alot that are Watchable, but far from good due to the sheer cringe. Its like the majority of anime people watch in the west is cursed or made for children. Dragon ball is only watchable due to the fights, even though the lore doesn't make jack shit sense. But i found some i could call my favorites and overall satisfactory.
>>40430 the backbone of this place is fucking gone, you can tell from how dead /jp/ is, all that's left are the illiterate subhumans like OP that can barely speak english and see anime as "cringe" or whatever the fuck because they look at it through the lens of modern internet culture
>>40444 >the backbone of this place is fucking gone This site is amazing. When you people say things like this, it makes me wonder if using this site used to be orgasmic, or if you guys are simply looking at it with rose tinted glasses, as they say.
>>40451 >When you people say things like this When people say this, and they begin to explain why, it usually boils down to them being upset that the owners banned discussions about wanting a GF. The "crab in a bucket" mindset is a violent and unwavering one. Wizchan is indeed nice and good, even almost as good as "that" board which shan't be named.
>>40454 Unfavorable opinions about you, the kind of person you are, and the things you say is not a "strawman". >Defending someone who lols at crabs on nocrabschan Makes my greasy neckbeard glisten with joy.
>>40457 If someone wonders what's wrong with /jp/, and I then someone says it's the bitter crabs, and then you consider that a personal insult.. Goes to show what exactly you are!
>>40467 >If someone wonders what's wrong with /jp/, and I then someone says it's the bitter crabs, That's preposterous therefore an invalid argument. > and then you consider that a personal insult The real insult here is that you think you got an argument when all you have is a ridiculous grudge against crabs that aren't even present.
>>40444 >because they look at it through the lens of modern internet culture what fucking lens should I watch anime through to perceive it as something worth my time? I spent fucking years trying again and again and every time I decide to give anime an n-th chance I regret it.
>>40473 What anime are you watching? Like the weeb fantasy harem anime shit? Repetitive high school bullshit? Or…whatever bucket Lain/YKK/the one with the really small forest sprites/Mushishi/Kino's Journey fall into?
Anime is literally made for children and young adults.
Those complex themes that you remember in anime only seem complex because you watched it when you were an inexperienced teen and anything would've blown your mind.
