/jp/ - Japan/Anime

>>36993
True weebs know that in Japan they call everything that's animated anime, even something like The Simpsons

>>38473
Their term for foreign anime is 海外 アニメ, "kaigai anime".

Kinnikuman. It's the best shounen anime in my opinion.
The western anime fandom is overall retarded with demon slayer and that new whitewashed gyaru anime getting 50 fansubs in 1 nanosecond.
Meanwhile one of the most beloved and best-selling manga in japan to this day doesn't get shit unless enthusiasts get on it.
If the spaniards translating it don't give up maybe we'll see nisei in a few years.

Souten Kouro is also rather good, but then again, westerners tend to think anime based on a Chinese setting is ugly and boring.
Which couldn't be farther from the truth. It's both unique and enjoyable.

Dismissing them both entirely because you can't socialize or have "anime cred" trendy anime gets you for watching it

>>38478
you'll never be japanese

>>38479
And you'll never not be a fag.

I was gonna complain no lain but then I saw it. That guy. Sounds pretty accurate. I hate all the norm pleb anime besides code geass btw.

>>38604
The raws are probably out there somewhere. Be the subber you wan to see in the world.

>>38605
I don't know or understand a lick of Japanese, but thank you for the inspiring words.

>>38604
a.i. translation will be good soon

>>38606
You could study japanese for a few months and then just listen to each episode slowly with jisho and a translator like deepl in hand. I have done it before, it will take hours per 20min episode but it could pay off if you're dedicated

>>38607
No it won't.

While downloading 8 trillion ukraine videos my download thing also pulled down this (so someone linked to it recently). I guess it's not obscure because it's on youtube, but it has good art and wizs might like it.

>>38607
Machine translation already exists. The thing about AI is, it'll never be as good as real passionate work. Those cartoon AI voices dont even compare to sentence mixing. Same with translation. The sentence structure would be obviously stiff and robotic

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic & Kingdom of Magic should be mandatory watching material for all denizens of Wizchan since the final season ends up taking place in a country of Wizards where normans are basically treated as cattle.

Armed Librarians: The Book of Bantorra is another really good obscure watch with plenty of wizchan attitude. There is norman stuff in it like a degree of romance and busty anime gurls but its by no means offensive or distasteful.

Just like most other animes/media its themed around a very Gnostic perspective of reality.

>>38619
book of bantorra is pretty good, I remember watching it on tv actually

>>38604
I just finished watching what was subbed of this series, I loved it so much.

>>33153
I dunno? Maybe some old OVA like California Crisis or Bobby's in deep? Check out this angry short film by Hiroshi Harada. Shit subs but it still gets across.

>>33153
for now its most likely its hiwous war cronicles weirdly despite being 1st bones anime that aired in 2000s (and translated MUCH later) its seems to be lesser known than zambot3 daitarn3 or even wings of rean (yeah im a tominofag)

>>38665
also im trying to download triton of sea thats the last tomino cartoon i need to watch but been stuck at 44% for like 3months now THAT probs will be obscurest shit ive wasted my time on

>diff between lvl 5 and lvl 6 is too big
>EOE lvl 4
>LOGH lvl 1
not bad overall but some pretty bizarre choices

>>34355
Good > Obscure

>>38665
I watched Hiwou's recently, I think it's really neat. Love me sum Bones

>>39204
Icebergs are supposed to be least obscure to most, right? I wonder if End of Evangelion is more obscure than Galactic Heroes is nowadays, though I certainly wouldn't have said that a couple decades ago. I remember renting End from Blockbuster. I wonder if the original series and movie are neglected for the remakes.

Urban Legend Story Hikiko
Shigurui

It's a fucking shame people don't know Shigurui…

>>34359
Like Darkstalkers they did the same thing to Virtua Fighter in making an anime from the game. It was a 90s arcade game that was the first to use 3D models instead of hand drawn animations.
>>34363
some people just want to die young, which I thought was cowardly till I saw someone come down with Alzheimer's.
>>36980
pffft, unless it is super popular you aren't finding torrents these days fag. I have better luck on Youtube or some back water Youtube knock off than torrents.
>>36993
>Alexander the Conquer and Big O are not anime
by the way throw Alexander the Conquer on that list since I had to go out of my way to find it again, but it was made by the same guy who did ANeon Flux.
>>38481
>code geass
last time I heard about this they said Attack on Titan ripped it off.

The Idolm@ster is not an "obscure" anime. Unless I fell off the bottom of this list long ago.

>>39953
These charts are always shitty “ironic” memes that just throw shit at the wall hoping it sticks. Like dragon ball is the same tier as LOGH and hetalia,

agree that being a streamfag is OK, especially when there are no trustworthy public torrents. i only hate watermarks.

Anyone have any suggestions for good historical anime? Not expecting accuracy. Mostly interested in feudal Japan but other settings are fine too. Been loving Vinland Saga 2.

Two of my Top 10 favorite anime that are still great and cult classic in Greece and Saudi Arabia but obscure everywhere else (even in Japan) are Igano Kabamaru and Plawres Sanshiro:

https://anidb.net/anime/2007
https://anidb.net/anime/3324

Both of them are fan-translated with Japanese audio and English subtitles. If you're Medabots fan, you'll definitely love Plawres Sanshiro since it's its great ancestor and directed by same guy who later directed Pokemon anime.

>>33462
People even ignore the existence of 2000s mainstream shonen like Konjiki no Gash Bell, let alone obscure stand alone OVAs from the '80s.

Kiko-Chan's smile is a good one.

>>39941
I have the shigurui manga at home

i cant believe some people took ops pic seriously. i rofld at the level six elder tier idolmaster

>>33153
Most people don't know about most anime. Your neighbor Joe only maybe knows about Pokemon at most, for instance.
If you mean people on imageboards and places like that, then I recommend looking on sites like AniDB like this https://anidb.net/anime/?do.update=1&noalias=1&orderby.rank_popularity=0.2&tag.7885=1
Although the popularity ranking on these sites may not completely reflect popularity on imageboards, if something has a really low popularity value then most likely it's indeed not popular at all (like IQ – it's good for detecting retardation at low values, but it doesn't measure intelligence at high values well).
Also at the very bottom on there a lot of anime are so bizarre and detached from common anime (didn't watch them; just judging from the key visual) that I don't know why you would be watching them instead of any other obscure non-anime media other than carrying the "anime" brand. So I would recommend skipping 50 or 100 or maybe even 200 pages (you can edit the URL to do that if you're not retarded). Though even then you could have a hard time finding them online (it might be easier if you're a private tracker-using fatass), and even if you do it may not be subbed (not a real problem since Japanese isn't hard but I won't elaborate).
To mention a specific name, I know someone who's interested in the Viewtiful Joe anime, but he's having a hard time finding it online. I also watched "Kochinpa" not too long ago, which looks like an ad for a pachinko parlor or whatever it is, and each "episode" is 15 seconds long, but for what it is it managed to be entertaining enough.
…Anyway, your picture is completely retarded and the placements look like RNG but enough people talked about it already, so whatever.
>>33247
I won't comment on your post's text but that's a curious picture. I would say that the part about Japanese media (eg. Love Live, Neptunia) is wrong, and those aren't exclusively or even predominantly irony weeb things, but the western media things (eg. (((DDLC))), RWBY), western memes (eg. OWO), and western online services (eg. Crunchyroll, Discord) are right.

>>33247
>>42458
I made a revised, more accurate, and more 2024-relevant version of that picture.

what the fuck does ironic even mean

>>42461
Zoomers making a shallow cover of being "weebs" for "meme value" while in reality despising and looking down upon Otaku culture.

>>42463
>>42462
yeah, I just cant comprehend why would anyone be into all those pictured things but underneath despise the weeb culture

>>42464
Because you're a brainlet.
The first picture is a bit weird and outdated so I can't blame you if you don't get it but the second and third pictures are mostly focused on Western memes and slop detached from actual Otaku media and culture. Ironic weebs would obviously prefer the former to the latter and only see the latter as a device to fuel the former or to fuel their own mental illness (eg. watch anime only to self-insert as the succubi)
The third one is too focused on tranny/mental illness LARP stuff though the overall message is similar.

is witch hunter robin obscure anime?

>>42465
no reason to call me names ;[

>>42468
Bad anime

>>42468
Now you got me rewatching this

>>42469
The reason is that you touch yourself at night.

>>42470
indeed but very comfy
>>42472
nice hope you enjoy again

>>42476
>nice hope you enjoy again
I am. Thank you.
