/lit/ - Literature

>>12520818
both are shit

Sage

Yes. /lit/ regularly discusses the literary importance of Hunter x Hunter.

HxH is not that different from other "edgy" shounen manga like Death Note or JJBA (pt. 3-5)

>>12520818
anime is for children
sage

>>12520818
It's bad enough that so much of /tv/ is filled with anime. Why would you bring it here?

Anime is literal garbage.

HxH fanboys are the single most cancerous people on this site, I hope their talentless hero gets hit by a truck.

Man I remember catching One Piece one night, only time I ever sat down to watch any of it by the way, and they were running all over with crazy legs screaming about a bomb for twenty minutes. That's all I remember. They got a world map on the front page of a web search for hxh and I guess your anonymous says that because we like colonialism? and genre shit is an easy target here plus those characters look like cats and I think this is the only board that doesn't joke about killing cats. Except maybe /x/ too. I think /x/ would like hxh even more than us. Why don't you go ask them what they think?

>>12520818
Begone.

>>12520818
Only normalfags like anime now

I haven't seen either but I like the Piratey theme of One Piece more.

I know One Piece but what is HxH?

>>12520852
I go on /x/. I hate hxh and pretty much all anime. The ones on /x/ that do like anime have been psy op'd and equate waifus with succubi

>>12520859
This is actually good

>>12520852
>I think this is the only board that doesn't joke about killing cats. Except maybe /x/ too.
/sp/ and /ck/ are cat friendly also

Hey newfags, fucking sage this shit. What does this have to do with /lit/?

this is not literature. fuck off

>>12520818
I love HxH!

>>12520872
Newfags don't know sage.

>>12520888
Apparently neither do you

Princess Tutu uses elements from many fairy tales, but it is not a direct adaptation of any existing folk narrative. Thus it represents a folkloresque mode of discourse, using metacommentary as a narrative device. This mode encourages audiences to look past the curtain of motifs and observe the generative grammar that guides the plot’s structure. Japanese Fairy-Tale Traditions Japan, like most world cultures, has maintained an indigenous tradition of magical folktales that are distinguished from other forms of narrative by a Bill Ellis characteristic set of formulas and motifs. One clear example is the traditional opening formula, “Mukashi mukashi,” literally “Long ago, long ago,” an exact parallel to the Anglo-American “Once upon a time.” The prevalence of this formula gives rise to the most common Japanese term for such stories, mukashi banashi, or “long-ago tales” . A closing formula of some kind is also usually present.
Many mukashi banashi are more like legends in Western tradition, as they deal with the origins of place-names and the activities of distinctively Japanese supernatural creatures such as oni (similar to ogres) and kappa (similar to the Germanic Nix, or water sprite). Still, a rich heritage of household tales parallels the international Märchen tradition by focusing on the adventures of an ordinary person (male or female) in a magical realm. Yet Japanese folktales depart from the Western model in a number of significant ways. One is the greater prominence and independence of female characters, who are often the protagonists or whose actions determine the fate of the male protagonist. Another is the tendency to separate male and female protagonists at the end, rather than unite them in the “happy ever after” conclusion familiar in the West. Both traits contrast with Japan’s cultural definition of female social roles; although the “essential equality of the sexes” was guaranteed by the country’s new constitution in 1945, Michiko N. Wilson notes that patriarchal expectations continue to govern most marriage bonds. This turns the wife’s role into what feminist critics have termed an “unequal treaty” (fubyōdō jōyaku) that insists on the authority of the male and the limitation of female activities to a small number of supporting roles.

Um, can we please not deal with racist and sexist comics on this website

>>12520916
It's alright. Anime is essentially xenofeminist.

>>12520891
Sorry, I realise now that I'm in a bad mood.

>>12520818
/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc.

>>12520837
Go back to /tv/, that's the shittiest board in this entire site.

The only /lit/ approved manga is Houseki no Kuni

>>12520926
That's right.

>>12520930
Yeah, because it's full of shit like this.

Obligatory.

>>12520818
Never read any of HxH, but it's fans take themselves way too seriously.

One Piece is at it's core just a silly adventure and doesn't pretend to be more.

Season 2 when?

>>12520818
I found myself relistening to HxH's OST as of a few days ago. Emperor's Time, Hyori Ittai, Nagarere Boshikirari, and a few others. The show is definitely overrated, and it's fanbase can be very pretentious. But it has many strengths, and I enjoyed several aspects of it. Killua is the main draw for me - he's such a real-feeling character and I desperately wish I could be a young boy again like him, so seeing him is like seeing an avatar of me on screen. Oh, how I wish I could go back to those days..

Anime. Not even once.

>>12521020
Then sage you idiot

>>12521023

I don't care if people respond. But threads that don't even belong on this board should not be getting bumped to the top of the catalog. People come here to engage. If this thread seems hot, it will get more attention than other, on-topic threads. If anyone replies to this thread, they should be saging.

>>12520888

>>12520818
/lit/ is kill la kill, which means based
/his/ is Darling in the FranXX, which is moderately based.

>used to be token weeb of friend group
>friends start watching shonen anime (OP, Naruto, etc)
>Even though I've stopped watching anime (it's something you should grow out of) I still give recs to my friends
>they usually ignore me, keep watching shonen trash
>One of them watches Cowboy Bebop, they say it's "boring" and that fucking Sword Art Online is "way better bro"

God save me

all shounen is trash
this post was made by retro shoujo gang

This. Only the mature mind can properly comprehend K-ON

>>12521570
Not everyone is a degenerating manchild.

childhood was liking entry level shit like cowboy bebop
adolescence was liking pretentious obscure shit
adulthood is realizing bebop was the pinnacle of the genre all along

>look into that thread out of morbid curiosity
>X is deeper than Y because in X side characters get killed
Anime is for retarded manchildren

>>12521656
I find it harder and harder to browse boards outside of /lit/ these days... low IQs becoming intolerable... /lit/ being swamped by the mongrel hordes..

Fuck off. Anime is garbage.
