Well, you see, the idea of this idiom is that you keeping adding straws onto the back of a camel. Eventually, "the final straw" will be placed on the camel's back, causing it to break. Alone, it is an insignificant addition, but when combined with all of the other straws, it turns out to be too much for the poor camel to handle.

Christian Bale.

Well, it's more than that. At the begining I though that /a/ was a pretty decent board where people went to discuss about anime and manga. I was obviously wrong, but from time to time I used to have good discussion threads about Evangelion, Haruhi, Berserk (the manga, of course) and such (most of the time without memes and >implying. Hell, I don't remember /a/ using memes that much!).
I felt comfortable at the fact that most people there sent stupid users to >>>/b/, and for a moment I thought that they were above all that crap. Then, I found myself dissapointed with that board. I even lost interest on anime and manga. I still watch them, though. But this time on my own.
So two years ago I heard about /jp/. Back then, there wasn't many underage trolls around here. I had lots of fun and I still do. I visit /jp/ to discuss about anything. I even like off-topic threads as long as the guys posting on it have intentions to discuss about something in a serious way.
So yeah. That's why.

No, that board has always been shit and has been filled with /b/tards and faggots for as long as I can remember.

I just stooped after the split because I was sick of GETs, Yugi 5's and all that other crap.

The I came to /jp/ it was good for a time but then shitposting, spam, raids, doubles and all the stuff that happening now made me sick, I usually visit /a/ once a month or so, but I was so bored yesterday I visited it and had quite some fun talking about Wolf and Spice and buyfag thread.

But /a/ is still shit they don't talk about anime, they only make reaction images and silly memes.

But lately I've been really questioning why I come to /jp/ anymore at all, I watch anime, tv series and play games most of my free time. I play like on VN in two months and read/fap to a few Touhou doujins, but you can only talk about tohou so much...

>>7154458 Anime was always full of moe. It's just that back then it was called kawaii.

Not really. Sure, there were "kawaii" elements in the animu since the back in the day, most notably characters like Minmay and Lum, but the theme of the anime wasn't just sorely concentrated them being element, but rather, they were one of many things that contributed to the fandom. It's more accurate to say that moe was always a part of an anime and it definitely wasn't like how it is now.

Note: I don't hate moe shows but when the whole industry is mainly catering to that demographic while throwing other genre fans a bone once awhile, it's understandable why people are so tired of it.

/a/ was becomes somewhat inhospitable around the time before the /jp/ split, there was a lot of tensions which led to this board (most things which are the bread and butter of /jp/ were actually active threads on /a/, but 4chan staff and a few other posters were not too happy with the content that was being posted, probably because it wasn't strictly "anime" or "manga"). I just switched to /jp/ since the split, and I very rarely visit /a/, mostly when linked by other people. I still watch as much anime as /a/ does (all the seasonal ones, and I've seen way too much anime to earn some of those "anime expert" titles, if I wanted to), and I do read enough manga, but I don't have the need to go talk about it on /a/, I either just enjoy it for myself or talk/laugh about it with friends on IRC if it's terrible. As for /jp/, I mostly come here for VN news, releases, some touhou, comiket and some of the other more productive threads. There's some dangers /jp/ is facing, mostly from its own userbase, but I think the current state of /jp/ isn't too bad.

Utter bullshit.

There are still many other anime being made. Mecha and harems are as popular as always. Moe shows are, and always were the minority.

It's just that many moe anime become big bestsellers.

And even then the greatest bestsellers are not moe shows. Just look at Madoka.

It is mostly about the girls. IS is about what girl he(you) would pick, same with the others. They mostly revolve about girls or girls being moe or the fanbase not giving a shit about the story but instead arguing what girl is the best girl.

Look at this season and tell me there aren't more shows catered to the moe audience. Also, please tell me KyoAni is going to animate the new FMP rather than another shitty slice of life with moe characters.

>Moe shows are, and always were the minority.
>It's just that many moe anime become big bestsellers.

You must be kidding me. Did you not see the sales for K-ON? A very mediocre slice of life that was derived from a pretty shitastic 4-koma that no one cared about until the animu? Also, have you been to Akihabara?

I browsed /a/ back in 2007 and 2008, I left for no real reason, guess I only got bored. In fact I stopped coming to 4chan for a while.
I came back in 2010 for 2D porn, Touhou filled /u/, I didn't know a lot about the games/fandom, I was curious, so I came here and haven't left. /a/ is too fast, I don't like it.

It depends on when you're there. I've seen consistently good serious discussion on Wandering Son and Fractale this season, and while the Madoka threads have been pretty bad recently, the OC they've dumped has been pretty good, and it was enjoyable helping crack the cipher on the runes.

/v/ on the other hand never talker about vidya. Except LoL, and then while they're talking about vidya, they're only bitching about losing.

To be honest, I haven't really spent that much time on /a/ for the past three years or so.
By what I remember, there used to be a fair amount of discussion about new shows(mai otome was a popular topic iirc).
But it was around the time of the shmion head shop that I started to visit less and less.
So now I can really only go by what I see when I check over there every now and again.
On the front page,I count two discussion threads.
After that its crossposts from /v/, off-topic, greentexting, and reaction images.

I was vrowsing both /jp/ and /a/ for as long as I can remember, but certain events/obsessions of /a/ at some periods slowly turned me away. First it was because of the obsession with Death Note (a mediocre show in my opinion).

You just have to ignore the threads you don't care about, report utter garbage if you feel like it and post about stuff you like. Usually discussion about a latest manga chapter (excluding anything released in Jump) is pretty good.

General threads are difficult. Sometimes they are good (like Madoka shortly after new episode aired) and sometimes they are shitty (like Madoka 4 days and more after new episode aired).

I keep seeing it mentioned, and I don't get it. What's so wrong with General threads?

I have no experience seeing them directly, but in theory it would contain a popular topic to a single thread instead of having to deal with spam all over the board. Plus with their fast posting speed it centralizes discussion instead of isolated threads quickly falling through the pages.

So I can only guess that the problem comes from the application of said threads. Probably constant bumping with no content, or circlejerking by the many, many tripfags that populate their board. But I would like to hear it from you.

Personally, I left /a/ a season or two after the split. It was a difficult sight, to see it decay so fast until it was nothing but a shadow of the board I loved. I still watch anime as it's released and discuss it on other sites.

I know it sounds alarmist, and from just the deep night shift of the board things don't look so bad. But it's after lurking for most of the day that you kinda have to feel hopeless about our current situation.

But enough of that, no need to turn this into meta.

Sometimes I wonder if splitting further the large and fast boards like /a/ and /v/ would help. They're just too big for their own good, and constant splitting seems to work for futaba. But then I think about the consequences of our own split and just thinking about it feels scary.

Back when I did go to /a/, which was before /jp/ was created, about the only reason I visited /a/ was for VN threads and the desperate hope that an anime thread about something other than bleach/naruto/one piece/DBZ would show up.

There is only a little bit of anime I currently like and surprisingly it was from /jp/'s constant posting of Railgun and Ika Musume shit that just eventually made me go "fuck it, time to watch some anime for once in forever." and then I loved them. I think I also decided to watch Strike Witches at one point from /jp/ too a while back which I also loved. I think anime can be on /jp/ as long as it is kept to a minimum and it doesn't completely dominate the board. This is like a board where content as a whole is pretty much decided by its users who were already into otaku related stuff already. Then from there it just branches off into pretty much anything the majority of people want to have here. It's random but not as retarded as /b/ with a specific dominant theme.

After seeing how Bleach went downhill after Soul Society, and Naruto after the Examination, I thought One Piece would go the same way. But my friends kept insisting it wasn't like that, and I should at least read past the Arlong arc, which is where I stopped back in high school. To my surprise, it just kept getting better the further in, to the point that it's the only series I know that could bring back "dead" people and not have it be stupid and contrived. I think it because it's so over the top that taking it seriously is impossible, so it's just fun shonen.

Mostly when elitism started to be used as a negative term and people over there were just taking their shit far too seriously.
I hate people that are like "anime is srs business, fucking moeshit ruining the industry, I wish all that otaku pandering crap didn't exist, blah blah blah"
They take their shit so goddamn seriously, why can't people just take it easy and enjoy themselves without being angry at people liking things they dislike ?

Also, I got banned there for posting a sfw loli picture, it was the last straw.

Waifu wars got a bit out of hand, /jp/ has that problem too, but it's a little more manageable here.

I don't mind people having waifus but when they feel the need to take it extremely seriously and turn every thread into fucking tier lists, things kind of go downhill. Strangely enough, I find those mplayer VS. MPC VS. VLC threads are actually entertaining

Hey bro. If you didn't want this thread to be so popular you should have stopped replying along with every other idiot that insisted on explaining just exactly why /a/ is so shitty.

And there's the irony. /jp/ is shitty because they do nothing but cry about how bad /a/ is and how shit is leaking into their glorious board.

/jp/ is about as bad as /b/. You know how everyone hates /b/ but /b/tards just claim it's because they don't understand how awesome they and their board is? That's /jp/. Everyone hates them including the mods, but of course they're all wrong and /jp/ is right.

The difference between /jp/ and the other boards is that when there is a shitty thread on /a/ or whatever, the people who aren't shit posters ignore it. Even though most people don't care for doubles the doubles threads aren't full of people telling them to get out because:
1) They won't listen (/jp/ thinks they can convince shit posters to leave. It's actually kind of funny)
2) They would be better off posting in a thread they liked

/jp/, next time you try and copy a board like /prog/ with your "every thread must be replied to" garbage, make sure you really want to turn out like that board. Or maybe you can be individuals instead of following whatever hivemind is popular at the time.

>>7156087,1
the only reason this got so many replies is because it both allows people to blog about themselves and is meta.
There's nothing "popular" about it and no one thought about how great OP was for making this thread for even a second while replying, there's literally nothing to be proud about.

Anonymous Tue Mar 29 07:09:56 2011 No.7156087,15 [INTERNAL]

/a/ was going downhill before the split and all the posters over the age of 18 started posting on /jp/ instead when /jp/ was created.

The ones left on /a/ were children who enjoy Naruto and other children who took over the (now empty) tripfag culture of /a/.

The rest is history.
