/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>2062039

but /jp/ likes hidamari sketch

/jp/ doesn't hate anime. They just hate the people who talk about it.

>>2062091
Can't we hate both?

>>2062091
Because we have /a/ for that.

I love anime and have several hundred anime dvds. But for the most part, /jp/ isn't where we talk about anime.

>>2063946
Why did you bump this?

>>2063946
Sup OP

I wish we could talk about some anime in /jp/, because the people in /jp/ are much better than the people in /a/.

>>2063958
>the people in /jp/ are much better than the people in /a/.
That goes without saying.

>>2063958
The people who want to talk about anime aren't on /jp/, so that would be difficult. Many of us here don't actually watch any.

>>2063966
Apart from the Touhou anime. And Hokuto no Ken like 50 years ago or something. Also some Ghibli stuff, but yeah.

>>2063966
I do what any /a/ anon would do, but never go there, it's a hell, then again, I don't need to discuss anime.

>>2063966
I actually watch A LOT of animes

>>2063980
Meaning watching lots of anime

>>2063966
Just because we don't discuss anime here doesn't mean who don't watch it.
It's just that this isn't the board for it. Hell, we even had a Mohiro Kitoh hijack the other day.

Bros of /jp/ just hate this commercial shit you see on TV. We watch real anime, like Musou Kakyou.

I've got a 250GB HD full of anime.

So don't tell me the people on /jp/ barely watch any.

Ume Aoki is /jp/ relevant.

I only really watch anime when it's related to my more extreme weeaboo timesinks. Like stuff based on visual novels and the like. Kodomo no Jikan, Moetan and Ichigo Mashimaro were exceptions to that though.

>>2063999
No one said that /jp/ barely watches any.

But some of us have stopped watching anime and now only really bother with STGs, manga and visual novels.

>>2063998
This
In all seriousness, we are superior to any /a/ anon in terms of powerlevel.

>>2064003
Notice that I didn't say "all" of us.

>>2063966
You're wrong, bro.

I just kind of got sick of anime.

>>2064003
but he's a mangaka

/a/ - /b/ with anime

Why does /a/ hate anime so much? Seriously, FUCK YOU GUYS

>>2064023
We talked about Narutaru and Bokurano.

>>2064030
>Naru
OMG SAGE FOR NARUTOSHIT

>>2064033
(″･ิ_･ิ)っ-̾ ...

>>2064011
That's why I wish we could have anime threads here, where there are more cool people to talk with.
IMO the split should be between casual fans and hardcore fans, and not based on medium. The only reason more casual fans watch anime is that there is more anime translated into English, and perhaps that most casual fans don't have the patience to read text. This doesn't make anime inherently bad though.

>>2064030
Both manga.

>>2064041
I don't even watch anime anymore, but I would have no problem with this if there was some way of stopping those "casual fans" from flocking here.

Unfortunately there is no way to do that.

>>2064045
>/a/ - Animu & Mango
Your point?

>>2064030
Those two are quite good reasons to hate anime, aren't they?

>>2064051
(″･ิ_･ิ)っ-̾ The discussion was about anime, not manga. You ingrate.

>>2064030
Which happen to be very good manga. OK, I'll give credit to the Narutaru animu for trying to transmit some of the original creepiness of the manga.

>>2064041

Well, judging by that thread a few days ago where it was discovered that everybody here except me hated the Jupiter arc in Planetes ...

Fuck you /jp/. Fuck you.

>>2064052
Too DEPRESSING for you?

>>2064041
I agree with you, but I have my doubts about possible incoming trolls, what would you think /a/ would do if we started having anime discussion threads?

Bokurano chapter 55 where

>>2064056
But I like it.....

>>2064057
Yeah, in a way, watching them was pretty depressing.

>>2064059
They both have an anime.

Bakuman is such a terrible manga.
It's like xzibit made a manga inside a manga.

>>2064050
I think that having several boards with somewhat overlapping content would allow users to distribute themselves correctly with time. Stop me if I'm wrong, but I feel like there are a sizable number of /a/ users who enjoy anime the same way they enjoy 3D movies and TV shows, and get irritated by "fanservice," "harems," and people who like "hentai" or whatever they call it these days. I don't think those users would flock to a board full of guys jerking off over 2D girls, even if there were anime related threads.

>>2064070
There was nothing wrong with the Narutaru anime besides it only covering the first half of the manga.
The Bokurano anime on the other hand...

>>2064073
(″･ิ_･ิ)っ-̾ Both of which were inferior to the manga. Not that I expect someone of your stature to have the ability or even the patience to read.

>>2064081
Narutoru is cool xD

>>2064011
by huge power-level do you mean that you leveled up from watching harem-comedies to watching straight up slice-of-life?

I currently have a huge queue of to-watch anime I haven't gotten into. An even bigger queue of VNs and I've only 1cc a single touhou game.

I don't know, I think most of us still watch anime, but the recent seasons are just the same sort of things that you get sick off after a few years of it. And the older, good stuff, has been discussed to death already.
So, we stick with our /jp/. It's not that we hate anime, but that we don't have the need to discuss the currently airing series.

And I'm sure I'm not the only one that still lurks in both boards. There are good island threads from time to time, that's enough to satiate the hunger for proper discussion.

>>2064088
But I've read Narutaru and I'm currently waiting for chapter 55 translations for Bokurano.

>>2064100
(″･ิ_･ิ)っ-̾

>>2064103
Left speechless, I see.

>>2064001
Those exceptions just make you sound like a pedo.

>>2064099
I use leechblock.

>>2064098
We came from /a/, after the split, we became /a/, got more /jp/ knowledge, /a/ stayed the same. We have more powerlevel.
Flawless logic right there

>>2064111
no just because no one cares to respond does not mean you win the argument

>>2064108
Not that it's a bad thing...

>>2064108
Those exceptions are obligatory views to post here.

>>2064115
>>2064103 (″･ิ_･ิ)っ-̾
>no one cares to respond
Sure, bro.

>>2064115
But you did answer

>>2064113
>Became /jp/
Fixed, got confused

>>2064122
I'm the guy you're responding to. I haven't seen all of Moetan but I've seen/read the others. I guess you're right.

>>2064080
>I feel like there are a sizable number of /a/ users who enjoy anime the same way they enjoy 3D movies and TV shows

I am one of those people, and I rarely visit /a/ nowadays. I was actually never "irritated by "fanservice," "harems," and people who like "hentai" or whatever they call it these days". I'm irritated by people who take the fanservice series too seriously, fans and detractors alike. It's more fun to discuss mindless entertainment with intelligent people (/jp/) than to talk about the rare anime that approach art on the board full of pretentious idiots (/a/).

>>2064111
(″･ิ_･ิ)っ-̾ I had planned to insult you and suggest you learn Japanese, but I realised before posting that it could be misconstrued as a suggestion that Japanese is somehow superior to the one true civilised language that is English. And I would not want to imply that. You have won this altercation, sir.

>>2064115
(″･ิ_･ิ)っ-̾ I would rather not be defended by one so lacking in grammar.

Uh. Where did you come from? We don't hate anime. We just hate /a/, that's all.
Hating anime is for normalfags, and these are usually on /v/, /b/ and /r9k/.

>>2064133
>>2064131
>>2064103
>>2064088
>>2064059
>>2064040
>(″･ิ_･ิ)っ-̾
Ok, get out, enough is enough

>>2064136
Actually, most normalfags just don't give a shit.
It's just normalfags on 4chan who hate anime. Which is really a shame because it encourages those low levels who go around wearing naruto headbands and cat ears.

>>2064140
(″･ิ_･ิ)っ-̾

>>2064113
> /a/ stayed the same.
No it didn't. It's more of a cesspool now than it was before the split.

>>2064152
That's because all of the "good" posters left for /jp/. So it's almost the same but just without the "good" posts to balance out the shitty ones.

>>2064152
Same knowledge
I should have spent more time with that writing, sorry

>>2064056
I for one, liked ΠΛΑΝΗΤΕΣ as a whole. You are not alone.

>everybody here except me hated the Jupiter arc in Planetes

Ah. I was one of those people. You know, "hated" is too much of a word. I'm cool about it, I'm cool about you liking it, you should be cool about me not caring about it.

I watch anime for entertainment and to get my mind off reality for a moment.
I don't really feel the need to discuss it.

So, judging from this thread, /jp/ is like /a/, but even more in denial of liking anime and with an elitism and would-be intellectuality that almost rivals /mu/?

way to go, folks.

way to go.

95
Percent.

>>2064246
>I don't need to read the thread to troll.

Actually, here, yes, you do.

>>2064208

No. I am not "cool" with that.

>>2064246
People see what they want to see.

>>2064254
But... why? Can't we just agree to disagree?

Don't be silly; we love 2D things like anime here in /jp/. Also, the true anime fans (or at least the more knowledgeable ones) post in /jp/.

/a/ is just the Crunchyroll Imageboard. They don't know a thing about anime.

>>2064261

People who don't like the Jupiter arc must have a serious problem with their brains.

>>2064208
I never really liked Planetes. I watched 5 episodes giving it a chance, and got bored with it.
>>2064213
When I still visited /a/ I did talk about it. I just don't think there have been a lot of good shows lately, or at least something that catches my attention long enough. In the past year or so I think I only watched three shows.

>>2064246
>would-be intellectuality
>/mu/
HAHA, HO WOW.

>>2064268
First time I agree with american ZUN
