Even though the quality in the past few years has been steadily declining, there are still good series coming out.

/jp/ is able to talk about anime obviously. What kind of otaku would just plain skip it? We just don't talk much about it here since there's better boards for that and the textless screencap spam ruined things for everyone. But we've had good threads about picks of the season and odd series.

There are good OELVNs, you faggots were just way too butthurt about Katawa Shoujo in that one moot thread. Consider that we managed perfectly fine for about four years, and the board was even renamed to "Katawa Shoujo" at one point.

What was especially funny is how you nerds were so anally anguished over KS, you ignored moot's other decision (to allow light novels). We had maybe one light novel thread a month, then we went to at least one "light novel" (not anime ;)) thread every day.

>> No.10709108

You can thank the Chuunibyou spammers for that. The "no anime adaptation" rule is bullshit since most of the popular light novels have an anime adaptation.

You jerks always give Christine Love a hard time, but I was really pleasantly surprised by each of her works in a different way every time.

>>10709117
I'm sure you can see why that rule is necessary though. For every one person discussing the series in terms of the light novel, there would be twenty people discussing it based on the episode of the anime they watched yesterday and shit like that.

By which definition? Like I said admins don't know anything about otaku culture therefore their decision isn't argument for that. "It's against rules -> it isn't on-topic" is just circular reasoning.

Complete opposite for me. I hardly play games (maybe once or twice a month to "check it out"). And of those, only games I do play are srpg/rpg type games. Been that way for years. Also, never had time for games because anime/manga/light reading takes most of my time.

But like you said, it is not big barrier. /jp/ and anime generally go hand by hand. I have no reason to believe anyone who watches anime but doesn't have interests in any other otaku hobbies, would start anime discussion on /jp/ instead /a/.

I would only see it as good thing if 4chan could offer different kind of discussion platforms for different people. Like /vg/ has Kamidori threads too but they are talking a bit different things than /jp/ talks in their Kamidori threads. Same goes for Yume Nikki, STGs, mmorpgs etc.

You don't need a reason other than "/a/ is shitty," and a quarter of /a/ thinks that. /jp/ used to have a reputation in /a/ as more elitist and with better taste. I don't know if we still have it.
