I wish I could have joined the squirtle squad

I haven't seen a party hard gif in years, and this one sucks balls.

Shame on you op.

they realized they were hopelessly squinty-eyed and incapable of getting white womenz, so they invented their own.

Why are you so infatuated with real life, OP?

>>8533034
because it has a wider range of things to offer than cartoons.

>>8533038
I don't see any little girl youkais or cool humanoid space robots in real life.

Cartoons > Shitty 3D world.

>>8533013
PARTY baka

>>8533048
but they aren't real.
i mean, there's a whole universe outside of anime

>>8533055
I don't want to observe boring normal humans with boring personalities doing boring things.

Real life a shit.

>>8533063
not all humans are boring.
there's so much going on in the world.
war, peace, conflict, romance, certainly you don't think anime encompasses more excitement than enjoying reality to the fullest.

>>8533066
All humans have boring personalities and have unimaginative and bad character designs. Real life is objectively terrible. The drama sucks, the OST is pisspoor and the pacing is atrocious.

>>8533083
the real world has infinite complexity and far more possibility than what can be confined to the medium through which anime is experienced.
that's certainly worth something.

>>8533083
And those people make your beloved anime.
Give the real world a second chance, it seems to me you have a wrong picture about it.

>>8533083
You have gone nuts!

>>8533092
That's why they make anime, because cartoons can be so much more than real life could ever hope to be.

>>8533110
2D is real life, 3D is not.

2D is part of real life

>>8533110
Yes, I have nothing against enjoying that.
What I meant more was to target my comments toward the audience that enjoys anime to the exclusion of reality to a very high degree, like they do not even wish to be reminded of the rest of the universe around them.

how come all americans are all so fat?

>>8533114
You want to delude yourself, that is unhealthy.

>>8533089
You fail to realise that entertainment in any form is also a part of reality. Choosing to watch cartoons is no different from choosing to live in another country.

>>8533121
Is it?
maybe it's just part of the human condition.
People all over the world have their own 'anime' in this respect.
The christians use the second coming and apocalypse etc.
muslims delude themselves with islam.
past generations spent their spare time telling legends and blatantly flase myths of gods and magic.

>>8533122
Fair enough.
I just happen to know some people who develop an obsession, and I just think that one should leave themselves open to real world experiences as well, and not fear social contact.
you know? Leave your options open.

>>8533139
I feel you man

>>8533139
People are different, some like to have many options, some like to restrict themselves.

>>8533150
BUT THAT AIN'T RIGHT

>>8533129

We should really just get to making touhou a religion already so we don't have to put up with this shit.

>>8533153
touhou is shit, man.
ok, you love anime and wanna immerse yourself in it, make it your reality. fine.
but for fucks sake have some standards, touhou and vocaloid and all the other 'moe' stuff has been done to death.

>>8533161
So has your 3D real life. Everything you will ever do has been done many times before.

>>8533152
Who are you to tell us what is right and what isn't? Do you think you're my mom or something? Get out of town.

>>8533170
not necessarily, we do new stuff all the time.
and from my perspective is what matters.
i don't just lie down and waste away thinking "everything i've done has already been done before, so i'm not adding anything new".

>>8533174
I am the dude who is posting on the internet forum where you post shit about shit and you are the dude who is choosing to respond.

the only other place i see this much defensiveness is in politics and religion.
fuck, anime is already a religion.

>>8533175

Well you're not, you'll never discover new land, you'll never have any real influence, you'll never be in the fray of some epic battle fighting for something of importance, you'll never do a single interesting thing with your life.

You'll work at your shit job, do boring things with your boring friends and die from a common cause of death, that's your life in it's entirety, and after you croak no one is going to remember "OHP, the boring fucker"

>>8533187
just because you're certainly resigned to that being your fate doesn't mean i can't try and beat the odds.

What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come
will not be remembered by those who follow them.

Ecclesiastes 1:3-11

Report back when you manage to beat these odds of yours and pull off something something new and amazing. Getting a job at McDonald's doesn't count.
