This is just a gentle reminder to my fellow /lit/izens that anime, manga, and all related materials have no place on our wonderful board.
>lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc.

In the Beautiful Fighting Girl thread (a book which explains why they have waifus) another book by the same author is mentioned, Hikikomori: Adolescence without End, which should answer a lot of your perplexity. It'll also probably highlight some problems with NEETdom you have yet to think about. It's one of the standards on the topic.

I mean "now" as in the period after WW2 and the Americanisation which it implemented, which includes not just pink films and fluffy anime, but also individualisation. So, before the 90s, though that is when the first batch of adults wholly raised under that culture start popping it, so it starts to be a much bigger problem then.

The only people who hate anime on 4chan are those trying to project an image of sophistication and maturity. Which, itself, is classic sign of immaturity. You hate even seeing anime images here because it bursts your little fantasy that you are part of some high-culture intellectual vanguard of western civilisation.

>Anime does not belong on /lit/
I don't think that anime-related stuff should be banned or discouraged on an anime forum, I mean even if most of us grew out of it years ago we should not deny the origins of 4chan. Most animes and mangas are rather bad and a waste of time and since /a/ is shit, I understand why people would come here to discuss their stuff.
I used to like these smug anime girls, when I watched that stuff and when I stopped watching/reading it they started to bore me. One major problem is, that very little good stuff has been produced in the last couple of years. Furthermore, the japanese aren't really good in writing a good story and finishing it properly, they usually fall flat after 50% of their story and waste the end. They are good at aesthetics, creating likable characters, an interesting world and some kind of novel mechanic that makes it different. Usually it's sufficient to draw a few chapters and sometimes they get popular just by that and get the money and momentum to build a big series but they weren't ready for it and burn out after a few years later.
I have read several mangas due to being tricked into reading because children, weebs, teenagers, manchildren and bugmen who have little standards and never read better literature.
They were mediocre, had plot holes, relied too much on the ominous 200iq-mastermind-trope, dropped in quality after a few years and some are probably never going to be finished and if then in a bad way.
Why is that the case? I have no idea, I don't know any Japanese (person). I once read from someone on 4chan who was warning weebs not to come to Japan since they weren't going to have any interesting or intellectual conversation with a Jap.
So why?

At my last job there was a guy who watched anime who was in his 60s. He'd been watching it for decades and seemed to prefer older stuff, but I asked him and he said he kept up on new releases too. There was also a balding ex-marine who was a giant koreaboo, he would watch something called Running Man in the break room.

Not really, just buying a lower and upper receiver separately, as well as an an optic and maybe an after market trigger if you want to spend a little bit more money. It really depends on what you want to use it for, as I personally spare no expense when it comes to tools that can make the difference between life and death, but if you're just looking for a toy to plink with, it really doesn't matter. That's another reason why I would recommend an AR, as I believe it is a far superior rifle for a new shooter.

This morning I returned from the grocery, I was walking around the back of my truck to grab some things I had put in the back, when I heard a rustling. I looked at the hostas next to where I park expecting to see a squirrel or mouse or something. Instead there was an enormous hornet on a leaf, it seemed to be preening itself, or possibly collecting dew or pollen. I took a picture of it and decided to look it up, in case it was a dreaded murder hornet. Turns out, I'd spotted an Eastern Cicada Killer, they are a type of wasp. I find them to be fascinating creatures, two inches long, they have quite pleasing markings and live a solitary life. The females hunt cicadas, for nourishment as well as to lay eggs inside them. They will sting the cicada to paralyze it, and since the cicada outweighs the wasp, they have to climb a tree or something while dragging the cicada to maximize the distance of their flight. The goal is to get the creature back into a hole they have prepared so that they can feed and lay eggs inside of the cicada. They are mostly harmless to humans, the males can't even sting. Just thought you all should know.

Based on my research, it seems that this a female. They are much larger than the males, this specimen was all of two inches long and seemed to be engaged in either hunting or collecting nectar or pollen. Apparently, the males pretty much solely exist to fertilize females and are less likely to be seen out and about.

/lit/ is for the discussion of literature. Anime and manga are not literature. 4chan is no longer an anime website. It has not been an anime website for more than a decade. Anime is a small part of the website's culture, and most people who do not browse the boards dedicated to anime despise both the medium and those who watch it.

Daily reminder that Fernando Pessoa would be a waifu fag today:

"Through an experience that simultaneously involved my sensibility and intelligence, I realized early on that the imaginative life, however morbid it might seem, is the one that suits temperaments like mine. The fictions of my imagination (as it later developed) may weary me, but they don’t hurt or humiliate. Impossible lovers can’t possibly cheat on us, or smile at us falsely, or be calculating in their caresses. They never forsake us, and they don’t die or disappear."
