/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I want to fuck Haruhi.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED

Cherry picking.

>tfw you will never be an otaku in the late 80s/early 90s again

>>10929339
>again

most of jaypee was born then, dude

inb4 you pretend people born in the 90s are kids (19 y/o u mirin xD)

I feel bad for recognizing that image. I know the person who made it.

Haruhi is the best looking anime Kyoani has made within a decade and better looking than any anime that came out that season.

>>10929333

i want to fuck her until she stops talking. shes very annoying.

>>10929354
That's odd since Hyouka is the best looking TV anime of all time.

>>10929341
This, what the shit. If you were 14 or something in the late 80s, it's time to kill yourself back to usenet.

>>10929333

>>10929371
Oh yes.

>>10929371
I like Haruhi in this pose, it is very erotic.

>>10929332
Naruto happened
>OMG I,M LAIK SUCH A OTAKU XDXDXDXD
it's not just Naruto but the little shit played a big role in the comodification of the Japanimation subculture.

>>10929392
I have a few more but that one is my favourite because her armpits are visible.

Let's just have a Suzumiya thread.

>>10929409
Any One Piece otaku here? I want to be fucked by Zoro.

>>10929420

>>10929371
why does that ladey's mouth just end in the middle

>>10929409
why do you dislike naruto
sure its not the greatest thing ever but its not so bad either tho ive only seen a few episodes
wouldent the perv pandering shows be worse than the generic action shows for kids if youre really into these cartoons as art or whatever

i mean i love space cobra but its no worse than naruto
its not deep its just a fun romp through space to stop bad guys and get the girl

>>10929429

>>10929432
it's the fanbase that I have most of my gripes with and how they comodifiy/shame the anime subculture. If you don't know what comodification of a subculture means, it means cheapening it like those girls with Rayban wayfarers calling themselves nerds.

>>10929432
>ive only seen a few episodes
My guess is you only watched the very early episodes where it was just fun ninja stuff, it becomes absolute garbage around the third or fourth arc when the focus shifts to Sasuke.

>>10929392
That's not Haruhi, that's Hakurei Reimu...

>>10929444
do you really think thats something to blame 1 cartoon for

i mean those japanese cartoons were already on the rise possibly before you were even born (see also harmony gold and later streamline pictures if youre that young)

whatever bone you have to pick with naruto i could apply to sailor moon or dragon ball z or whatever else

as a cartoon its not so bad and i think youre wrong to judge something for how some of its fans act

>>10929432
She has two mouths.

>>10929432
It happens on your image too

Some of it isn't so bad.

>>10929478
Naruto popularized it. Before Naruto most people didn't really know that it came from Japan and even if they did most of them didn't consider it the best country on earth.

>>10929583
Fuck off to /v/

>>10929422
In my youth, I saw a piece of fan art where Nami was very chubby and was being grabbed by every crew member while on all fours. It was in an "anime-style" with very little shading, if I remember correctly.

I've never found it since! That is the extent of my One Piece Otakuism

>>10929409

>>10929847
yeah those type of images became pretty popular when Bieber announced his dislike for it.

>>10929847
that's a epic sick picture, dude

Most of the anime back in the 90s and 80s was shit, though.

>>10929860
But it was worth treasuring since it was difficult to obtain.

Nowadays you can watch translated animé the same day it airs in Japan.

>>10929860
some of it was pretty damn good (macross DYRL) although I have to agree on TV anime. If FOTN looks pretty damn bad.

>>10929851

>>10929876
Other than the animation DYRL is fucking trash.

>>10929409
>avatar in that pic

>>10929885
I don't get this, how is Internet not part of the "real life"? Does it exists in some kind of parallel fictional universe?

>>10929893
They probably mean "offline"

>>10929882
could be way worse. I have some weeb FB friends who made me admin at a animu fanpage
out of the total of three admins I,m the only one with something that resembles taste
I sometimes wonder why I haven't cut ties yet when I remembered that they might possibly develop taste in the future and are pretty much my only contact with the normal world.
>>10929893
the people you meet up with online tend to be different from the people you meet up with in the "normal" world.

>>10929893
"In real life" or "IRL" is how people refer to the world offline, the "real" not "virtual" world.
Didn't you notice this?

>>10929929
Thank God I don't have friends or a facebook.

>>10929941
FB is a great way to pass the time if you don't have a job or college.

>>10929929
You and your friends should join this epic page.

>>10929893
i feel that real life (off the internet, outside your house) is much different from the internet. theres never a risk of embarrassment, or any reward when talking to people on the internet. its just like having a conversation with yourself, except you dont agree with yourself. people on the internet is no where near as real as people irl

>>10929976
Probably around the same time "nerd" did.

>>10929970
when did "otaku" become synonymous to anime fan and cool?

>>10929976
2008

>>10929893
the internet is a anonymous and consequence free environment (case and point XBL and /b/) I could easily call somebody a nigger,gook,cracker,etc. without any consequences.

>>10929993
Sounds familiar

>>10929993
This is an ironic image by someone in /jp/ right? This isn't real?

>>10930061
As ironic as all those other confessions on tumblr

>>10930061
this is sadly real

>>10929419
>>10929420
Noizi Ito is the best

baka xD

>>10930061

>>10930100
>>10930117
Why? Why do 14 year olds do this?

>>10930124

>>10930117
this one was actually posted by the main admin.
>>10930124
I think its human nature to want to fit in somewhere. Kinda like how tweens wear wayfarers and call themselves nerds or how /jp/ users pretend to be NEETS/Hikki

>>10930165
This gives me a headache. Please stop.

I am not one of those "old anime is the best current anime is moeshit" guys but why is such detailed anime so rare nowadays?

>>10930171
hand-drawn animation is expensive especially when you have to detail everything.
>>10930174
we haven't even started yet

>>10930171
Because you're comparing OVAs and movies to TV series.

>>10930171
Because part of the entire culture of "moe" artists have taken to using simplified textures and line design in order to emphasize attractive and cute features while downplaying those that would make them more life-like.

I want to rape haruhi

>>10930171
Time constraints

>>10930182

baka baka xD

>>10929392
I feel like most doujin works don't do Haruhi as she's portrayed by Noiji and KyoAni. Sometimes the artist captures her but it's a 1 in 200 thing. But also I'm really picky about my tastes in fanart.

But yeah, cherrypicking wouldn't be such a buzzword if people didn't do it all the time and provoke use of the word. We've had years to forget about all of the crappy, shovelware anime that were made in the 80s/90s. Well sometimes you don't forget, but it's not relevant anymore, whereas a shitty show that airs this season is at least relevant.

>>10930182
No, she is mine.

>>10930178
this to
Gunbuster,Akira,DYRL etc. all had a big budget which they could spend on about 1-3 hours of animation. 80's TV anime generally looks bad most of the time or uses stock animation.

>>10930182
I want to rape you.

The images in this thread are horrifying.

>>10930200
Can you believe those people are exactly one click away from you, browsing /a/ and /b/?

>>10930240
We already have tumblers on /jp/, Anon.

Why are haruhi doujin so bad?

>>10930242
If you are saying that this is a problem, then I agree. If you are implying we should be alright with it, please click your way out of /jp/.

>>10930251
Of course they are a problem but what can be done about it? Nothing. Same goes for IRC, steam groups, twitter and everything else that is plaguing this website.

>>10930263
I may probably be wrong but I feel like the people that post in the off-topic threads are better than those that post in the janitor approved on topic threads. Is my observation correct?

>>10930344
No. I don't get what point you're trying to make.

>>10930350
I think that's because in off-topic threads we often talk about personal things so you can easier detect who is cancerous and who is not.

>>10930249
Are they? I only read ones about Mikuru being abused or a slut. Also those Great Akuta ones about Asakura being unable to stop masturbating.

Maybe I am a pleb, but I think modern anime generally looks better.

I prefer clean digital art to messy traditional media.

>>10930391
>pleb

Please do not abuse the crossboard functions.

>>10930381
Talking about "personal things" is already bad by itself, since most of the time have nothing to do with Otaku culture, so there's no real need to make distinctions in those kinds of thread.

>>10930391
Smoother sure but from an artistic standpoint most modern anime is pretty lackluster.

>>10930394

Would you rather I post off-topic content here?

>>10930413
I would have you rather not use the word "pleb" to describe things like /a/ does, stop posting like one of them if you're going to post here.

>>10930422

I didn't realise it was an /a/ thing. I don't go to /a/, anymore. I most likely picked it up on /vg/, which is about the only other board I can stand.

I do attempt to keep board cultures separate, but sometimes things slip through. Sorry.

>>10930171
It's not that rare, nor was it that common in the 80s. The 80s was characterized by OVAs which had higher budgets and less time constraints. Comparing it to TV anime now is not a fair comparison, and assuming that assuming older anime is more "detailed" is wrong. High quality animation today seems to focus on the fluidity of movement rather than realism, but you can see the work put into details by the upper-tier studios. Madhouse, last I saw, is still putting out "realistic" styles.

>>10930410
>most modern anime is pretty lackluster.
So was older anime. It's a medium that prioritizes narrative over art quality; this has been the standard established by the first studios and is challenged by few studios (e.g. Ghibli).

>>10930182
Rape is wrong, please reconsider.

I am a crossboarder from /mu/. Pleb is a /mu/ saying.

Hi, /jp/!
