Do you like the american perception of anime ( meme thing ) ? Why ?

>> No.21189605

>>21189562
No.
Here in America it is nothing but screaming shitty memes, watching shitty compilations, beating dead memes with a stick, watching unfunny shit and laughing at it among other things.
The only people who like anime are busy doing their own thing and talk about actual anime once in a while instead of the "uh my uh favorite animes are Narutard and Dragin my balls"
They literally know absolutely fucking nothing about it and only are into it for memes. Hell, normalfags are just now posting about JJBA and that shit is spreading across Western Media. This shit will be dead within 6 months when they get to the latest chapters and beat the series to death with more dead memes.

No. I fucking hate it because nobody knows SHIT. You can talk about any well known anime that is not the big three and they won't know SHIT. Fucking Darling in the Franxx was big, some don't know shit. Kill la Kill, don't know shit. God damn, you can mention Akira and still some won't know shit.
Unless it's Naruto, Dragon Ball, or Pokemon, you aren't talking about SHIT.
Don't bother asking about memes because half of them know either not where they came from or they don't watch the fucking series.
You can talk about Dragon Ball and mention something obscure to most but well known enough that everyone has challenged it often enough and they will be dumbfounded.

If you want to talk about anime, don't fucking bother. If you want to talk about memes, you better know how to be a braindead memespammer because that's all it fucking is. They're too stupid to get a grasp on something like U.N. Owen was Her after seeing it so many times so Touhou is safe for the time being. Just know this, Jojo is Jogone now. Enjoy it while it lasts because the ride has just begun.

Hell, on a side note, they don't even know 2chan fucking exists. That's where a majority of some memes come from. The memes born on 4chan don't spread so far in the great outlook. Just fucking frogs, wojacks and whatever is spammed at the moment.

I like to classify it in 3 waves.
First it was the niche shit Wave with the stuff before Gen Z and as Gen Z grew up. The intermediate internet influences and 4chan Wave from the first "boom" and then the Mainstream Wave.

Niche Shit was basically anyone who knew or watched this knew what they were talking about and had hearty discussions and formed connections or groups with those who watched or consumed Japanese media in the largely western Disney "era" and so on. If you said you watched anime, you get the "ani-me?" or something along the lines of "what the fuck(is that)?" and you get the basement dweller NEET meme since literally nobody knows what it is that you like since it is "weird" and foreign a concept to them.

The 4chan Wave just by faggots spreading around and discovering anime as well as the other shit sites hosting it. This isn't the "first" time anime began to pick up, but outside of 4chan the community began to grow and alongside [early] Youtube with how there were Dragonball AF shit and other things like powerscaling that I can remember from memory since DB had ended quite some time ago and people were just then finishing, watching, or recommending anime to others. I don't know but I found a few VHS Tapes with Sailor Moon on them a few years back and it really just told me that if you could find that, you could already tell that people weren't completely oblivious to it. You just had to find those who knew about it. And those were like finding your ideal waifu in a barrel of flashing, bright colored (seasonal for /a/) trash.

Then we get into the recent years, the 10s where it begins to take a steep rise towards 2016 where it moons from then to now which I like to call the Mainstream Era where "Anime" becomes mainstream and a "living" for some people either at some distributing service or on youtube when the first few channels hit 1 million and piracy at the norm but going for a rough turn like https://nyaa.se did. They brought a huge spotlight to something new and weird. I know back in 2015-6 there were still a few frequent wtf's here and there but there were also "cultured individuals" in there. Towards the later months of 2017 they became less common and memeing had been something they (normalfags) had been focusing on. If anything, 2017 was the meme year following the 2016 Presidential election, and 2018 I don't fucking remember but I know the "normalfags" started to develop fetishes, some as degenerate as stuff either found here in general on 4chan on extreme cases or just softcore /d/ tier shit since they're heavily beaten to the point where they're really just moralfags. Now that it comes back to me, 2018 was the fetish year probably and mainly the lolis gimmick from the year preceding crossing over to the next with the Dragon Maid shit. Anime had been mostly exposed but to normalfags, it was nothing more than a meme. Anime is a meme. Watching Anime is a meme. Watching Hentai is a meme. Watching or reading H Material now is still a meme. Anime overall is literally just a meme. But here in 2019, they're slowly reading manga. They only read meme manga and old shit like Pokemon in the rarities. One thing that sticks out to me is how these motherfuckers are deciding to watch Naruto in it's entirety NOW. DBS spearheaded anime and 110-111 or whatever the fuck those one hour specials were really brought light to anime since DB had just returned and it was in the end of it's run where shit gets heated. With Dragon Ball Super ending, it left a gap where other anime and manga filled. AFAIK, they aren't going to read shit. It's like Goblin Slayer. They won't read shit until it gets its first episode and then they'll read.
2019 Is the Anime is a meme shift period where these fuckers are starting to grow a couple brain cells and actually read material, but they only will if it gets memed to hell like Jojo. Nothing erotic since they're still moralfags but a majority now know what anime is, barely. They meme it and call anything that looks like anime to be anime. They won't say shit though. It's just a meme.

sadpanda does not exist outside of 4chan and other sites aware of it. For normalfags, if they are normalfags of the highest tier, they either have to be luck, unfortunate or really looking for it to really find out about sadpanda. The barrier is the best defense right now and I might consider making an account now before we have another torrent crash-esque even that raises the bar so fucking high you'll wish you were not lazy and settled for the easier shit.

nhentai and co are starterpacks or hotpieces for them. HH being taken in by FAKKU is a flag to determine HH legally dead by 4chan terms, fuck paying for H content over the internet of all places.

Anime in the US has always been mainstream. Schoolchildren in the 70s and 80s watched Star Blazers (Yamato) Force Five (Planetary Robot Danguard Ace, Divine Demon-Dragon Gaiking, Getter Robo G, UFO Robot Grendizer, Sci-Fi West Saga Starzinger) Robotech, Battle of the Planets, Captain Harlock, Mazinger and others.
The first anime hosted on the internet was put up by MIT and NASA (yes the space agency).

Nothing bad will happen if more people outside of Japan meme JoJo. Araki will still keep on publishing his manga for a primarily Japanese audience, and the JoJo anime will keep airing for a primarily Japanese audience. You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

I agree that guy is being a drama queen, but in a few years the size of the overseas anime market is going to eclipse that of the domestic (Japanese) market. At that point anime will be made primarily for a foreign audience, although whether this will change the nature of anime remains to be seen (hopefully not)
