you already made this thread

Curious how the mods are extremely fast to delete some threads (either pure shitposts like frogs, or threads they don't like, like when it's too loli), but xitter bait like this stays up AND is allowed to have multiple threads.
They're also not doing anything against the "anti-lolicon" spammer.

Death to the mods. You really wish they got doxxed for real when 4chan went down.

>>280439260
No, it's definitely us vs them

>>280439496

You're the same people. You think people self contain in 1 board? /a/ and /v/ have quite literally always been a shared population.

Asians have white skin, browntard

by anime, what they really meant are stuff like this
Most of the anime you are thinking of doesn't even get released outside Japan on netflix (Crunchyroll exclusively licensed them), at best, they only get released within asia, so it's impossible to reach 50% of global users with them

A good thing is that the Chinese and gooks are taking on the global market, so one of the possible positive results from this is Japanese focusing mostly on domestic market (bls happen)

>>280441550
Fuck off Gookshills

>>280437939 (OP)
so this is why /a/ gets progressively worse every year

>>280441581
I don't care about gookshit, you fucktard, but that's all normgroids deserve to be fed

>>280441550
I want Gooks and Chinks to crash, burn and losing popularity on the same time as Japs because at this point those people and their dickriders have pissed me off enough and they don't deserve nice things. I have no qualm saying this because i spend years recommending their good shit

>>280441550
>gooks
Shit and finished. Just a bad copy of Japanese stuff that gets overshadowed anyway
>China
They can actually thrive just on their own domestic market. Chinese studios don't have any need for a global audience unlike Korean ones.

>>280441695
Solo l*veling is gookshit, and normgroids ate it like champs, hopefully Koreans will keep pumping out trash like that to fed normalcattle and take out the Japanese from the global market, also the west is also pumping out "anime" so i think there's a decent chance of Japan focusing on domestic market

>>280437939 (OP)
that's what japan kinda wanted, now they'll face a harsh reality: western market will try to troonify, neggrify everything and will want to force their twisted modern morals, like those retarded pronouns and shit even worse like that, and the nips being the eternal cucks will bend to their demands. Mark my words, anime is dead, say hello to tranime moving forward.

It's more like most of what made up /a/ left around 2015-2018.
The only people still sticking around are some lurkers and people who already posted on boards like /v/ and /tv/ anyways (cancer). /a/ prior to that point was comprised mostly of people who posted only on /a/ with pockets of people who crossposted on /jp/ and /m/ (ignoring /e/, /c/, /d/ and the like obviously).

Today though, /a/ is just like, a shell I guess. There's a lot of people who come here jerking off about how /a/ is the very FOUNDATIONS of 4chan and they have to protect it, which kind of makes the board boring, and then you have the inevitable /v/ posters who are also boring because they only have one or two jokes they can use per month. I'd say maybe about 5% of the board actually watches a significant amount of anime regularly, and I'd say even less are saying something significant and worth reading.

>>280442455
Idk I've been using both for quite a long time now. Since 2007? Or maybe sooner I don't remember. I'm fairly sure people have always crossposted here from /v/
/jp/ is a given but honestly I don't use it because it's all vtumor and touhou style shit now.

These threads unironically sounding less and less about "fear of troon and woke audience" and more like a group of people shitting their pants at the mere mention of Nips gaining popularity. What's people's beef against the Japs anyway that every mention of them gaining a modicum of success always send people into coping and frenzy. It happened with Godzilla -1, it happened with Drive My Car, it happened with Shogun (The directors aren't even Jap), it happened with AoB

>>280442542
And you've always been cancer, yes.
Now go post about Naruto or some inane endless soap opera for teenagers.
>>280442582
It's people under the delusion that anime is something underground and that they liked something niche and unique, and not the biggest media export outside of hollywood and arguably British TV.
These people don't actually watch anime of course. They saw a couple when they were a kid, watch a few youtube videos, but they view it more as an aesthetic, and so, when they got hopped up on delusions of grandeur and the idea of gatekeeping, they view anime's continual popularity as a big DANGER they can STOP and be PRAISED for (or at least look cool for liking something so niche, amirite?).

Reality is, anime has been normalfag since what, 2002? I'd honestly say 1998 when the biggest event for children across the entirety of America was CN finally airing new episodes of a Japanese cartoon, all while some of the biggest non-corporate pages on the internet were anime ones and the biggest forums all had dedicated anime subforums that rivaled main page activity.
Hell, the idea of "defending anime's integrity" itself is fairly normalfag. There was a fucking TV spot back in the 80s about Macross fans who hated Robotech, this thread is a bunch of underage posers basking in the afterglow of relevancy.

Two questions.
>if The rest of the globe starts to care even more about anime, will Japan eventually come under pressure to appeal to the west just as much as Japan.
Because theres a portion of the West who hate anything fanservice or Japanese weirdness, which make up some of the enjoyment of manga.
>Will this lead to more manga getting adapted? To be honest, I don’t watch much anime anymore unless it’s an original. Don’t care for adaptions and how the West cares about anime unless it leads to more translations for manga

>>280442866
Oops, i forgot my question marks

>>280442582
I honestly would easily dismiss them if they didn't fucking make this place the main target of their seething. Heck, it's not even related to /a/ most of the time

A mandatory fanservice loli for every seasonal show will fix the problem.

No anime was improved by sexualizing teenagers. I don’t even care if they sexualized adults even if it’s shitty fanservice. But why teenagers. Removing that and lolis would improve the reputation of anime by 1000, and you’d lose nothing in the process.
Hell, I’ll throw you a bone. You guys can have lolis but NO sexualization of them

>>280445776

There’s no logic in wanting this unless you’re a teenager or a virgin loser, unironically. No adult with any social experience should care for. Let alone want these things.

>>280446787
>There's no logic
Idk about that, it makes money, a lot of money. They aren't "teenagers" they're a 2d drawing on a screen. If your morals can't distinguish a drawing from reality you're the problem not the media. There's plenty of examples where sexualization is needed. Drama/romance anime, anime covering darker topics like sexual assault or grooming. If (YOU) don't like it then don't consume it. No one is forcing you to.

>>280446898
>more money
It makes more money because it appeals to degenerate losers, yes.
Ignoring your cope for liking sexualized teenagers , I’m not talking about drama anime/‘mature anime, I’m talking about the random sexualization of teenagers in harem coms, isekai ..random panty shots, etc.
There’s no logic in wanting this unless you’re a teenager or a virgin loser, unironically

>>280447019
So if we leave the anime exactly the same and move the fictional number up to 18 you'll stop crying?

>>280447068
Yep, then losers can’t live out their ped fantasies through anime

>>280447124
Does that mean that if we canonically agr all your favorite female anime girls down that you are now a pedophile then?

>>280437989
It’s ripping off newer stuff than that

>No adult with any social experience should care for
Kill yourself. Shittons of normalfag women flocked to crap like Twilight. And yes nigger, I said women. Women in college, women with careers. Stay-at-home moms, and it was a property about a glitter vampire in love with a high school girl. You are so beyond retarded to imply only kids or creeps are attracted to the thought of young people in love. Ever heard of Romeo & Juliet, shitstain?

I like how you coped so hard you missed the point. “Young people in love” have nothing to do with pantyshots of teenagers, harem anime that sexualized high school students, characters with the bodies of children being sexualized because of “muh loli.
You’re a weirdo who’s either too stupid to understand the point or are trying hard to change the subject .
>>280447393
Nope, because they wouldn’t be my favorite female characters anymore if we aged them down. Also, I’m not attracted to my favorite female characters the way you are attracted to teenage anime characters. Weirdo.

>>280437939 (OP)

I should be happy more people are enjoying something I love, all contrarians anons be dammed, but I am really, really sad.

I am learning Japanese as fast as I can while working 60 hours a day, because the fansubs / fan translations of manga are getting really hard to get, while the official ones tend to be both shittier and several years behind.

>>280447124
Right, of course, you prefer that they do it on real children, don't you, UN-sama?

>>280449602
Biologically you are attracted to teenage girls though. You're hardwired to be such. Anime teenagers aren't realistic anyway they're just adult characters with a fake age slapped on them. You're seething way too much over a cartoon how about you come back to the real world where the scary anime teenagers can't hurt you.

>>280437939 (OP)
We used to have it so good...

I know for a fact anime got more popular because western TV has been in hard decline for 15 consecutive years. My parents who watched football & shitty sitcoms for decades started getting into anime because in their words "There's nothing else to watch.".

>>280451788

>>280437939 (OP)
Not many, but I need to know why /a/ loves Netflix so much.

What are netfl*x users even watching? I tried using it for anime while on a trip last year and the only shows I saw on it were shonenshit, Cyberpunk, and a few other random shows, all dubbed by default. There's a billion interesting older shows but they only have a tiny fraction of them.

Ended up watching Cyberpunk for the first time before just rewatching CCA again.

im not really worried about it
netflix thinks watching 3 episodes of dubbed one piece is "watching anime"
you show these people one episode of the average ecchi or CGDCT and they would have a heart attack or call you a pedophile

Why is this thread still up, this thread was already posted 4 times? Do jannies want this board to turn into /v/?

>>280456960
Literally just One Piece because they ran out of live action episodes and want to see how the story continues. The extreme majority of them probably have no idea the show wasn't originally made in English in the first place.

Anime isn't "taboo" or weird anymore among the youngest generations. But that's not all that's weird - they watch with dubs AND subs at the same time. I've asked about it and they say it's because it's easier to hear and understand in English, but they like reading the subs because the translation is usually closer to the original Japanese.

>>280457584
ecchi or loli is very much taboo

>>280457584
I watch everything with subs even stuff that is in english
I just like knowing exactly what is being said, sometimes the video has bad levels sometimes the audio is bad quality sometimes someone has a thick accent
I think everyone should do this

>>280457584
>because it's easier to hear and understand in English, but they like reading the subs because the translation is usually closer to the original Japanese.
Americans are literally retarded

>>280453359
Because it's totally impossible to check whether threads have been made before. And all these posters haven't browsed /a/ in weeks so they didn't see it before.

>>280457577
Do you have any data on how much One Piece dominate other anime show on netflix? It wouldn't surprise me if you're right though, most normalfags would watch shounenshit over a niche older show almost all the time.

>>280441285
Funny how it's always twitter posts reporting on the reports rather than just posting the damn reports. Anything to get that extra (you) I guess.

>>280457632
There's nothing retarded about getting a deeper understanding of the story, the characters, the events, etc. You get two simultaneous viewpoints at the same time.

>>280437939 (OP)
Netflix not have Alien Nine, Narutaru, School Days or Pupa, Netflix hates controversial anime.
Most "Anime" in Netflix are western cartoons with anime-like characters, and always in strict PG ratings.

>>280437939 (OP)
Mr. Ahmed Layla. Netflix has a limited selection of anime, but other places has better catalog and in your native language.

>>280437939 (OP)
I don't care., I'll still watch good shows and skip bad shows, I don't give a fuck how popular it is or who is watching. All that matters is if the anime was good to me

>>280440432
>Brown nipples
You can't fool me. nipple bleaching is a thing across the east specifically because they aren't white.

Ultimately you can't multitask while watching subbed anime, so it's no surprise dubbed is more popular

>>280459567
...shouldn't they be watching the show?

>>280460091
I don't know. To be honest there's probably only like 10-15 shows worth focusing your entire attention on anyway.

Alternatively you can go to a third party archive site, search for words like Netflix and get similar results. This has the advantage of including threads removed by the 4chan staff.
Threads on /a/ aren't created with such a high frequency.

>>280466033
I am just saying if two identical threads exist, users can just focus on replying to a single one so that the imitation dies.

Instead, you are all keeping this thread bumped 24/7 by remarking how at the time it was created there was another identical thread at 490 replies.

It's been over 12 hours and people are STILL going on about this.

>>280466152
I pity you if you go through such autistic ritual every time you want to create a thread. This looks like a weeb's idealization of what Japanese respect image board culture is, except not even the nips went through such autistic lengths.

How often do you create threads? I rather spend five minutes checking if somebody else had the same idea, which is relatively likely for topics like news, announcements, releases etc.

>>280466202
I do not really use this board. Only seasonally. This specific thread? I created it after seeing the picture on /v/ as the thread got deleted for being off-topic. So I could "hey this could get some traction on /a/ and it would be on-topic".

>>280466251
Let's assume this news has already had a thread. Now we can't discuss it again? Things can only be discussed once?

No. Dragonball, Naruto, Cowboy Bebop. and FMA were the extent of what was considered acceptable anime by normalfags until around like 2015 and if you had seen all 4 of them you were considered the anime expert by normalfags.

>These threads unironically sounding less and less about "fear of troon and woke audience" and more like a group of people shitting their pants at the mere mention of Nips gaining popularity.
It's not even a fear of a troon/woke audience. It's just the inevitable watering down of ANYTHING that happens once it becomes mainstream. The edges get rounded off, the peculiarities that made it unique start to disappear, the messaging becomes less complex and more politically/socially "safe," and eventually it becomes indistinguishable from the rest of the boring grey slop mainstream culture. It's already happening now.

I've mainly been a shonentard all my life until recently and have been watching a lot of 2000s comedies. The one thing that immediately stuck out to me was how ecchi is such a foreign concept in America. We have too much of a puritan view of nudity and sex for something like ecchi to ever catch on here. Lolis and ecchi are always the biggest complaints americans have about anime and the more influence we have on anime the more these concepts will be scrubbed out to appeal to an american audience.

I hate streaming services where you are forced to pay to see the catalog, why tf isn't this protected by law?

>>280467740
There are so many websites with Netflix's catalog. I understand the complaint but it's a non-issue.

>>280468059
Yeah, but it's an issue when what you want to watch is not there or just region locked, and every other service is the same, at that point torrenting it is just the easier way, so why would I pay...

>>280437939 (OP)
The financiers and MBAs have set their sights on a new medium to completely destroy. hurray.

>>280468405
Yes that sucks but that's just life. Everything is not in the same region or streaming service because of licensing issues. If it depended on Netflix obviously they would want everything to be available everywhere.

>so why would I pay...
Because the cost of the sub is negligible and it gives you convenient access to more shows and movies than you can watch in your entire lifetime.

When something releases in a different service I either rent it or pirate it depending on how convenient it is to pirate it with the subs I want.

More people watched Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon at their respective peaks than the amount of people watching anime today, so this is nothing new. A few less people watching your SoL series doesn't mean Japan is falling when anyone with a brain and some googlefu can look up anime to watch.

>>280445776

>Yes that sucks but that's just life. Everything is not in the same region or streaming service because of licensing issues. If it depended on Netflix obviously they would want everything to be available everywhere.
Yes and I understand that, my issue comes from their willingness to be transparent about what they can provide me. Forcing me to give them my credit card info only for me to check if what I want to watch is there is borderline gacha scum behavior.

Maybe anime isn't getting bigger but the series/movies are getting smaller. Normies killed that industry and some are moving to anime for sure but it's hard to see anime actually being as big as movies once used to be.

>>280470143
Anime is definitely getting bigger. The One Piece live action was the most watched series in the world for several weeks and it brought millions of people to anime. I believe it is to blame way more than any sort of anime Netflix funded.

>>280468699
>it gives you convenient access to more shows and movies than you can watch in your entire lifetime.
Too bad the amount of stuff that's actually worth watching on there is minuscule and shrinking every month, which is why I finally cancelled my Netflix subscription a couple of months ago.

>>280466583
>No. Dragonball, Naruto, Cowboy Bebop. and FMA were the extent of what was considered acceptable anime by normalfags until around like 2015
You're outing yourself as underage with that sentiment.
Ranma and Sailor Moon were also normalfag, as was Macross, and when they were getting made, Leiji Matsumoto anime were fairly integrated into western SF culture. Did you never wonder how Matsumoto basically did a fucking movie length music video for Daft Punk?

Genuinely, stop trying to sound educated on a subject you know very little about. The reason anime seems like it was just those four shows is because anime interest within North America DECLINED from 2007 to 2013, this is a real measurable thing you can chart out. In that time, what was still getting produced?
>Dragon Ball
Kai, video games, Evolution, and the 2013 movie.
>Naruto
Ongoing series, movies, and games.
>Cowboy Bebop
Reruns on adult swim and constantly propped up.
>FMA
Brotherhood began in 2009.

Of course, you didn't even mention Bleach, which was far more popular than DB and Bebop at the time, so I imagine you weren't alive back then.

>>280473415
Not even him but lmao. Ranma was never acceptable. None of that Matsumoto garbage was socially acceptable and the fact he animated a clip for Daft Punk does not mean his other works were accepted by the West. Sailor Moon was a bit more popular but does not hold a candle to dragon ball or naruto

Fair enough, but I wasn't a homosexual so those had no appeal to me when I was a kid

>Macross
Most normalfags don't know what that is even now.

>The whole rest of the post until the last sentence.
Your issue is that you don't actually know how little real american normalfags interact with anime and japanese culture as a whole, which is basically never until recently. Watching anime at all outside of what was airing on cartoon network was not normalfag behavior in any way.

>Of course you didn't even mention Bleach, which was far more popular than DB and Bebop at the time, so I imagine you weren't alive back then
I didn't mention is specifically because I WAS alive back then. To say Bleach was EVER more popular than DB anywhere on Earth is absolutely insane and never happened anywhere outside of your imagination, just like everything else you've said. NORMALFAGS didn't interact with anime, you don't know that because you don't interact with normalfags at all and never have, good for you, but YOU are wrong about when anime actually became popular with normalfags. It was a niche interest even for children up until the 20teens when it finally became actually popular and acceptable with with normalfags

>>280473415
To sum up >>280473798 in short. Your idea of a normalfag is a normalfag's idea of a weeb.

>>280473798
You were 13 in 2009 lmao kys

>>280473966
Exactly, even amongst 13 year olds, watching anime beyond Naruto and DBZ was not something normalfags did in America even as late as 2009, let alone 2002.

>>280474218
Because you were the normalfag. /a/ was discussing bakemono and spice and wolf back in those days.

>>280474267
Listen kid I do not give a rat's ass about what /a was discussing back then. We are talking about normal people, not about losers

>>280474322
you are literally the kid / normaltard we tried to get away from back in those days. Hey how's Dragon Ball or the current fomo shonen doing? Naruto is pretty epic!

>>280474267
Yes, this is my point. You said here >>280442778 That anime has been normalfag since 2002. I'm telling you it wasn't because I was a normalfag during that time and know what normalfags were actually watching.

>>280474378
And you are an illiterate little bitch. We were describing normalfags from several years ago. You got confused. Now that I point it out you are moving goalposts.

It was, you just weren't alive. I would not be surprised at all if those shitty blue spine Ranma volumes Viz did way way back in the day were among their highest selling releases for how common they were, both commercially and at public (and school) libraries at the time in spite of Ranma's content.
Takahashi herself was among the most popular mangaka, there's a reason half the western webcomic artists of the time had influence from her somewhere in their work. The most popular western indie comic of the 2000s was literally inspired by Takahashi, Scott Pilgrim.
>None of that Matsumoto garbage was socially acceptable and the fact he animated a clip for Daft Punk does not mean his other works were accepted by the West.
It was back when it got made, about on the same level of Star Trek back in the 70s and 80s (inb4 'muh star trek wasn't socially acceptable' when TNG was watched by fucking everyone).
>Sailor Moon was a bit more popular but does not hold a candle to dragon ball or naruto
Sailor Moon's western presence predated and laid the groundwork for Dragon Ball's ascendance to cultural icon in 1998.
>>bleach
>>far more popular than dragon ball
In that period of relevancy, yeah. Bleach and Naruto were far more popular within America than Dragon Ball.

>>280473798
>I'm 29
So what you're saying is that you were barely more than a fetus when anime was popular because the late00s-early10s interest decline that I mentioned. So your opinions hold no relevancy whatsoever.
Coincidentally, your sentiment of "2015" being the time when anime got normalfag aligns with you being 19 and presumably that being your first taste of financial (and likely physical) independence.
This is not the win you think it is.
>Most normalfags don't know what that is even now.
Yeah, NOW. Nobody knows what the fuck a Kid Chameleon is now, it was still one of the most popular games of the early 90s.

>Your issue is that you don't actually know how little real american normalfags interact with anime and japanese culture as a whole, which is basically never until recently.
I'm being lectured by some nigger who was like 7 when 4chan got made tell me about what anime was and wasn't relevant.
Here's a list of anime that you could probably bet on someone knowing in 2005.
>Gundam Wing & G Gundam
>Ranma
>Inuyasha
>Cowboy Bebop (obviously)
>Dragon Ball Z (obviously)
>Naruto (obviously)
>Fullmetal Alchemist (obviously)
>Fist of the North Star (the movie was really popular)
>Yu Yu Hakusho
>Higurashi (very iconic horror anime, even among normalfags)
>4kids/Saban stuff like DoReMi, Digimon, Yugioh, Pokemon, etc
>Berserk
And so on and so on.
>To say Bleach was EVER more popular than DB anywhere on Earth is absolutely insane and never happened anywhere outside of your imagination
The height of Bleach's popularity was after Dragon Ball had ended in the west, which was pretty much in 2004 with the conclusion of GT's broadcast (really more like 2003 with the end of Z's western broadcast).
At the time, interest in Bleach WAS higher than DB because DB ENDED. For YEARS. I knew several people that I worked with who had seen Bleach and never seen Dragon Ball because that's how time works, things are popular and then dip in popularity when they don't get new shit constantly.
>but YOU are wrong about when anime actually became popular with normalfags
In the 90s with Z-Day, Cowboy Bebop, Wing, and the ever-burgeoning popularity of prior works already mentioned, and this became quantified in 2002 when DBZ was starting to reach the final arc and new action and drama anime/manga were getting licensed en masse.

>>280444683

Yeah, if you were there it was. It was a breakout hit for the time outside Japan, it had a full DVD release in 2007-08, at a time when the industry was SHUTTING DOWN within America.
That's also why for like a decade it wasn't typically called Higurashi- it was called "When They Cry", because that's how it got localized when it came out in English.

You don't even need to be old to know about 8/a/. I suppose you need a tiny modicum of knowledge to know about all the other imageboards like yuri and PLW, but that's still not exactly esoteric knowledge.

Not taking risks having mentioning those things mistaken for announcing as such. Twitter screencap threads don't belong on 4chan in general, especially not core culture boards like /a/.

>>280437939 (OP)
Why doesn't Japan take all the money they spend subsidizing their whaling industry and give it to the anime industry instead? Anime is uniquely Japanese and something only Japan does well that's in worldwide demand. Its irreplaceable and its a sin they're not investing everything they can in it.

>>280480185
>What do you think the moderators do.
I think they sit in generals and dead boards and just samefag in threads over and over. In fact, they were literally caught doing that. Multiple times. And usually on extremely cancerous boards like /vt/ is where they're caught. Why do you think someone would want to be a mod or a janny?

It's not uncommon for someone to make some passive aggressive whiny remark before a massive amount of deletions roll out. Logically, if someone thinks it okay for multiple netflix threads to be on the catalogue, that person should be fired immediately. It's not that they're ignoring the board, I could make a thread right now calling the moderation faggots and it would get deleted in 2 seconds, it's that they actively hate /a/ and are pissy people aren't sucking off some shitty thread they spent hours samefagging in.

That's why you see "jannies babysitting generals" or whatever. It's because someone from that general thought they could save the board or whatever and inevitably failed.
>And usually on extremely cancerous boards like /vt/ is where they're caught. Why do you think someone would want to be a mod or a janny?
That's the other side of jannying, which is to apply solely to control narratives or whatever.

>it's that they actively hate /a/ and are pissy people aren't sucking off some shitty thread they spent hours samefagging in.
Nah retard, the reality is that they look at threads reported, weigh up if it's actually breaking rules, and then decide whether or not to delete it.
Technically, this OP isn't breaking any rules. The other time it got deleted was because it was explicit ragebait and this isn't.
>oh but it's low quality
Most moderators don't give a shit.
I've said this before in the thread but /a/ died- and that includes staff. Most staff on /a/ are newfags or people who don't want to moderate /a/ anymore because 90% of what gets deleted is the same spam.

That's only the jannies who toughed out the bullying by the mods and weren't removed, so they showed some obsessive strength.

>>280480531
>Technically, this OP isn't breaking any rules
It's breaking 4 different rules and the rules themselves are made to be highly interpretive and basically meaningless. But it's obviously flamewarring.

>>280480652
It's not actually. It's extremely low quality, but that's vague and I imagine that mod tools have that report get filtered to the very bottom of any deletion queues.

>>280442455
>It's more like most of what made up /a/ left around 2015-2018.
This is what it is for me. /a/ feels like a reddit board except that you can say faggot. All the fun parts of /a/ are gone. There is no new culture. I suppose it's partly to do with new anime dropping in quality, but who's to really say. In any case, from 2007 to roughly 2019, /a/ was my home. I do miss those times.

>>280480712
1. Low Quality
2. Offtopic
3. Trolling
4. Spamming
5. Advertising

Even just discussing sites outside of 4chan is, technically, against the rules and advertising. Any threads featuring clickbait articles or tweets should be immediately banned. You literally got people advertising their tweets on /v/ now because mods ignored it for too long.

This is all bullshit, they could wipe the entire staff and the site would be better for it.

You ever think about how life was fucking great in the 00s and then everything that could go wrong, did go wrong

Like there was a potential alternate timeline where things kept getting better but instead it's been nothing but dogshit catastrophe after dogshit catastrophe and they're just getting worse and increasing in intensity

>>280480932
This is also concerning, with one recently revealing they're a /co/ crossboarder, and every single one of these users having a pass. Feels like people are paying premium to dictate what content is on 4chan now. If dailies are an acceptable format, and are low effort and infinitely repeatable, then just by sheer density users without captchas and lower cooldown timers will decide what occupies the catalogue.

>>280481001
>You ever think about how life was fucking great in the 00s
No? The 00s were a fucking nightmare. I wouldn't want to go back to that time for even a second. I can torrent an entire season of anime in 2 seconds now, I have over 40 ongoing manga I'm following that just auto update in tachiyomi with zero effort, it's insanely better now to be an otaku. Shame 4chan got left behind.

>>280480893
>low quality
This is one of the most misunderstood rules in the board. Low quality isn't just "he posted about something I dislike". It means improper grammar, monosyllabic posts, or replying with just "lol". Posting a screenshot of Netflix's statistics is not low effort.

>Off-topic
The post is explicitly about anime industry.

>Trolling
Not really.

OP already said this is the first thread he makes about the subject. The mods can check this and confirm it.

Are you serious now? You think OP is a paid agent? Well the mods can also check this.

>>280481001
The only thing that i truly miss from the 2000's is the lack of Chinese and Koreans on the internet

the only thing against the rules in this thread is you backseat moderating and complaining about 4chan

>>280480893
All applies. Once I got banned for posting the same (on-topic) image in different iterations of a general like 3 times for... spam. Makes no fucking sense. Why does OP get to live for his fucking xitter faggotry?

>>280481088
>Are you serious now?
Pirat_Nation is an infamous account that brags about how they advertise on 4chan and make thousands of dollars a month off clickbait.

How retarded and naive are you? This thread should have been deleted immediately, even /v/eddit nukes this guy's threads ASAP. Fire the ENTIRE /a/ staff, this is inexcusable. There is no way to squirm out of this one, this is just pure negligence.

>>280481168
Holy shit.

>>280481155
>>280480893
You know what would make this website better? If people stopped bumping threads they dislike and instead focused on posting in the threads they like.

There's dozens of threads in the catalog right now, and yet you're focusing your energy in the single one that bothers you. In doing so, you are also keeping it bumped for free.

>>280481088
It's literally a shill account in the OP, how new are you

>Pirat_Nation is an infamous account that brags about how they advertise on 4chan and make thousands of dollars a month off clickbait.
I am the OP and I don't even know who that guy is. I just saw Netflix statistics and posted them here. Mods can check my posting history and confirm that I am an organic poster with months long history that never posts this guy's content.

I want to inform everyone in /a/ that I was very alarmed when I realized the female vampire hunter in bloodlust was voiced by Bobby Hill

>>280481235
You should be permanently banned.

>>280481199
This thread is civil disobedience. Nobody talks about the OP topic. Which should tell all the retards who claim it's on-topic a thing or two.

>>280481015
You buy a pass for dailies retard.
I don't like them, but the explicit reasoning is there, a pass cuts the posting time needed in half since you only have 30 seconds between uploads.

>>280481168
>guy who is obviously from /v/
>complaining about /v/
>all while insisting that he knows JUST how to fix /a/
We get it, you're new.

>>280481373
The whole argument is that passes are an exploit that allows this unique method of low effort spamming. Which is unfair to well-to-do posters and totally against what 4chan used to be about. This is literally the 4chan premium gold account meme but real at this point.

>>280481373
Being able to bypass captchas to autoscript dump through 4chan X and being encouraged to fill 1/4 the catalog with this is not a desirable outcome. In fact, this is downright apocalyptic.

I don't know why anons are angry at dailies when we have a wsj general or dbs and gup chain threads filled with cancer.

>>280437939 (OP)
total normie saturation imminent

>>280481604
Because there's like 25 dailies and 5 generals. Whataboutism is not an argument.

>In fact, this is downright apocalyptic
No real reason for mods to give a shit about that when, without dailies and storytimes, /a/ would probably be below /co/ in terms of activity or completely overtaken by threads like this and generals like /dbs/.
I don't think you guys get this but dailies and storytimes are allowed now because /a/ is not a very active board. Here are the most active threads right now
>/dbs/, at 42 replies in a thread made 15 minutes ago
>OPM daily
>/dbs/, again, but at 496 replies and with a Simpsons image in the OP
>/opg/ (basically /dbs/ lite)
>Naruto daily
>Gantz storytime
>/gup/
>Peepo Choo storytime
That's /a/. You remove the dailies and you just get more generals, those being
>Summer Season related general
>Isekai general
>Summer season related general
>WSJ general
>Summer season related general
>Precure general
>ANOTHER /gup/ thread
>BanG Dream! general
>Arknights general
>Buyfag thread
>/csm/
That's /a/. There's nothing left here, the storytimes and dailies aren't actually impeding anything which is why nobody gives a shit.

>oh, well, just remove the generals too
You would be deleting almost every thread that gets made on the board at that point. It's over. Move on like everyone else.

>>280481646
The irony of this when OP is a Twitter screencap of a guy who raids and shits up 4chan.

>>280481701
>/a/ would probably be below /co/ in terms of activity
/a/ is already dead, bots dumping manga and a handful of retards competing to bump said threads is not being alive. They are just poisoning what little genuine content is left here. There is no reason /a/ has to be "fast" and despite having more and more dailies its getting slower and slower, so it's demonstrably not working. The posts per day continues to drop while threads get slid off the catalogue faster and faster, that's a major problem.

>>280481681
The dailies are about manga, and they talk about manga. The generals on the other hand are breeding grounds for off-topic cancer.
How the fuck can you compare them, retard?

>>280481701
>seasonals are "generals"
Is this retard serious right now

>>280475014
Grifters have found a new source of revenue here.

>>280481788
>The dailies are about manga
The dailies are about thread personalities hanging out and deepthroating each other. Dumps used to be spontaneous, now people chain them together one after another. It's literally like some discord cult, the culture is exactly the same.

>>280481701
Here, to illustrate my point, this is what /a/ would look like without generals, and even then you still see multiple dump threads, and I left in two threads that I wasn't sure were generals, so even this could be a generous example.
>>280481811
The way current threads operate, yeah they are. A large amount of the seasonal threads in that high ppm category are generals, they're active threads that get new ones every day or two even when episodes aren't airing.
A healthy example would be the currently airing Yaiba or Anne. They do not get threads unless an episode has aired.
The generals that continue without episodes airing are inevitably filled with drama and other dumb shit. Which is why they're lumped in.

>>280481873
Half of the panty and stocking threads should have been deleted, they're literally just bait. Other anime is not like this.

>>280481270
>OP posts on-topic thread
>retards start spamming it with off-topic replies
>then proceed to say "hey see, the replies are off-topic, that means the OP broke the rules and posted an off-topic thread!"
I am at a loss of words. How fucking retarded. You are breaking rules left and right by posting off-topic garbage and complaining about 4chan, while pointing fingers at someone that did nothing against the rules.

>>280481788

Again, not really.
/a/ has been dead for years. Those posts aren't destroying something that's actually being used, it's just people taking up space and wasting bandwidth on the servers.
If you want a comparison of /a/ though

866,669 posts.

The board is about to cross into the lowest levels of posting in its recorded history (archives stop being complete at 2009).
I would like to point out something though. /a/ was pretty much declining from I'd say 2015 on, it had a massive dropoff with moot's departure and all the leaks that happened. If you actually look at the years in full, 2020, which had the Bleach and Naruto storytimes (which objectively did lead to the flood of them occurring today) was a year that kind of saved /a/. It was the last bit of natural growth it had, even ignoring covid (most of the covid boost was 2021) and the closest /a/ got to its peak activity years of 2012-2014 (2013 being the MOST active year).
Though, saying this, covid and Naruto/Bleach merely postponed /a/'s decline as 2024 was the least active year since 2009. It's likely 2025 will be taking that mantle (though if we include the downtime, it'll probably become the new lowest activity year).

>>280481862

I meant not really as in it's not really a problem because the board was already dead.

>>280437939 (OP)

Dubbed? Disgusting. Also probably Netflix count all the not anime they produce or finance as anime so i can´t take those numbers seriously. I would sooner trust a survey made by Crunchyroll.

But just for argument sake let´s say there is any truth to those claims the first thing i´d think of is that people are trying out anime out of desperation. Like, live action stuff is really shit these days so they give anime a try.

>>280482266
Threads shouldn't slide off the catalogue in an hour when we have 2009 levels of activity. People like to pretend that 4chan is going back to its old ways now that everyone is leaving, but all that's left is a gross tumor that's nothing like old /a/.

>>280481530
>being able to bypass captchas
This is the default in chans. 4chan is an exception because of the presence of bad faith spammers and ban evaders.

There is no reason to oppose captchas against pass users because they would be paying $25 for every ban evasion, and no one does that.

>autoscript dump through 4chanx
Also normal in chans. This would be possible for every user if not for captchas.

>being encouraged to fill 1/4 the catalog
How are pass users encouraged to post several threads? And you realize the thread limit still applies to pass users, right? They can only post up to 3 active threads just like anyone else.

>>280480893
You niggers derailing a thread about the implications of anime's rising global popularity to complain about the fact that the topic was mentioned in a twitter post is the real low quality off topic spam trolling that is shitting up this board.

>>280437939 (OP)
Normies woke up to the fact that anime is way cooler than Western stuff

>>280482392
>And you realize the thread limit still applies to pass users, right
It does not, pass users still operate under multiple IPs. They tried to put in a 30 min timer to stop this, but really it needs to be more like 24 hours. People didn't dump dailies on moe because it was too inconvenient and samefagging was too hard. There was a single daily and it got like 5 replies over 2 months.

>>280440204

>>280482444
>You niggers derailing a thread about the implications of anime's rising global popularity
This is perfectly on topic. Maybe they'll replace you intolerable faggots that don't even watch anything and just shit up the board all day. The topic is discussing how you're 100x worse than they are. What now? Perfectly on topic and anime related, in your eyes. Cry about it, sister.

>>280482490
Yes, but the pass synchronizes your fingerprint. If you post 3 threads under IP X and then activate the pass in IP Y, all your fingerprinting under IP X will be transferred to IP Y, including the active thread limit.

Source: I had a pass from 2014-2021 and eventually had to give up on it because any minor offense from mine would get 3 month bans because "user has 100+ bans" (the mods would ignore these bans were earned over 100+ months). They would understand the mistake when talking on the IRC, but jannies and board mods would still ban me.

How can you like the awful anime adaptation of one outs

>>280485230
I just really love braincrack anime, aka anime that has a battle of wits with actual logical feats (instead of just presentation and narrative), and the only braincrack anime are Death Note, Kaiji, Akagi and One Outs.

Is the manga good

>>280485180
>>Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo
first time in my life I see that in a top 10, or even top 50
placing it above evangelion is hilarious

>>280485279
>Is the manga good
Yes retard, read usogui too. And why 6 over 3 when 3 has darby

>>280485180
Yeah figured as much. 2-3 of those in the same list is suspicious but all of them together? that gotta be copypasta. your list is pretty decent. the only real issue is JoJo 6th part.

>>280485412
Usogui is 1 of the 3 manga I tried reading in my life and it was not braincrack, it's just shounen under the disguise of a battle of wits narrative

While we're at it anon read Liar Game, it's the best braincrack work in the history of humanity and beats all the anime I mentioned
>why 6 over 3 when 3 has darby
I put 6 over 3 because of overall quality, not battle of wits. After all, in terms of battle of wits, Darby was awful. He just had a breakdown after a bluff from Jotaro and that's the entire fight. It's like what kakegurui is to kaiji.

And the problem with part 3 is that it relies on predictable villain of the week formulas where you're 90% sure that nothing bad can happen from the main cast, and that the villain will be beaten precisely at the end of the episode. So you know whatever happen at the start/middle is irrelevant to the plot. This is the type of anime I despise the most, one thing my top 10 has in common is that all the anime there has dynamic/unpredictable pacing (except Evangelion)

Meanwhile part 6 is intense, wild and unpredictable. It also has true battles of wits even if they don't have the "card game" aesthetic, like the airplane part, or everything involving Pucci.

>>280485567
It was. How can you even defend it? Cool battle, but it's not at the same genre as One Outs or Kaiji

>>280485546
>He just had a breakdown after a bluff from Jotaro and that's the entire fight
Life and death games are about bluffing and, ya know, actual mind games, not an elaborate rube goldberg machine.

And people get fucked over in usogui all the time, you must've not even made it to the tower.

>>280483588
Maybe YOU should get the fuck off the internet then FAGGOT

>>280485675
They are about bluffing, but it's lame when the MC's opponent is a retard that doesn't even try and just gives up as soon as the first bluff is thrown.

I prefer things like One Outs, Death Note or especially Liar Game where everyone is at an extremely competent playing field and they can't be taken down by the lowest effort bluff imaginable.

Darby isn't beaten until they leverage the one thing he can't keep a cool head over, Dio, which works to build up his appearance later on. Its about getting a read on your opponent and understanding their style, and Jotaro ultimately dissects and psychologically destroys Darby. Its a great arc because it elevates a simple card game into an extremely tense battle, one of the most intense battles in the entire manga, not just stardust crusaders. It successfully incorporates the entire cast to take on a single guy. There's a reason Stardust Crusaders is the most popular part in Japan.

>>280485412
>>280485546
I hate part 3 so much. I don't think anybody hates it as much as I do. I don't understand how it's so popular, it is, without a doubt, the worst part in Jojo's and it's not even close. It is SO bad it's truly unbelievable, it's like scooby doo villain of the week nonsense, and half the battles are only even initiated because the main cast suddenly goes absolutely brain dead to give the villain an opening to attack them. Watching Jotaro just walk away while Polnareff starts fucking shouting at Alessi, who has been following them the whole episode without so much as even turning around actually left me speechless. They were fucking walking side by side at the time, on full alert for another stand user, and Jotaro just walks off and doesn't notice his buddy stopped walking with him to confront their pursuer. What in the actual fuck? Star Finger was the most obvious ass pull ability one off ability that I knew the moment I saw it that it was never going to be implemented again because it was so fucking stupid. Jotaro's whole personality just randomly changes like 1/3rd of the way into the story because I guess Araki realized he can't have his protagonist be a bigger shit bag than most of his villains. I truly, genuinely cannot believe anybody likes part 3 at all. It's so fucking bad, I can never get over it. It's the absolute opposite of braincrack, it's like putting your brain ON crack. Holy shit, I hate part 3.

>>280486108
>Darby isn't beaten until they leverage the one thing he can't keep a cool head over
Which is atrocious for a battle of wits. It's like a battle shonen where one of the combatants can't endure the idea of feeling pain.
>It successfully incorporates the entire cast to take on a single guy
The fact you even need to mention this says enough about part 3. The entire cast being involved is just the average episode of part 6. But part 3 leans so heavily on villain-of-the-week formulas, usually focusing on one single character of the main cast, that the fact there is one episode where everyone fights gives it bragging rights.

And the sad part is that everyone fought Darby early in the episode. The viewer knows that they won't win that because no villain can be defeated early, they must always be beaten around the 16-20 minute mark. It's predictable.

Popularity is not a testament of quality. The Japanese are retard. For example they think that Zoro is the best character in One Piece.

Also, part 3 is by far the most popular in the West. In Japan part 5 comes so close to part 3 that in many polls it will be ahead of 5, especially newer polls. In the West it's no context, part 3 is always very very ahead.

>>280486252
Not sure if this is pasta but I agree with you, but especially about the part where the main cast goes braindead to give the villain an opening.
This is textbook villain of the recipe formula.
>at the first half of the episode the main cast is stupid and commits the most ridiculous mistakes ever
>everything they do at this point is ineffective, and they constantly act out of character
>at the later half of the episode they start wising up and defeat the villain
Rinse and repeat for 20 episodes.
There is nothing more NPC than this type of show. And part 3 is aggressively one of those. Part 4 is also partially that, but the Kira episodes are unpredictable so I give it a pass. Then part 5 goes back to heavily leaning into that except for whenever Diavolo is involved. This is why I love parts 2 and 6 above all others. It's just 100% dynamic and unpredictable from the start to the end (except maybe part 6's first 10 episodes before Pucci appears)

so we're really using braincrack unironically now

>>280485675
>>280485741
>>280486108
They were playing poker and wild bluffing is NOT how you play poker. This is how people who don't know how to play poker think playing poker works. The reality is that at a professional level, you're almost always playing your hands exactly the way you'd expect them to be played and straight up bluffs from hands with no value are rarely a good idea without an absolute certain read on the person you're bluffing. Most bluffs are people with decent hands to begin with trying to take advantage of being in a good position or their opponent being in a bad position and applying extra pressure because they're assuming their opponent's hand is good, but not good enough for them to assume their hand is better than what their bluff is representing. As much as I hate part 3 I won't hold bad poker against it too much though, since even most movies that are solely about poker have absolutely abysmal poker in them.

The Darby fight was one of the most entertaining aspects of part 3, yes. I just won't accept someone saying it is a good example of braincrack/battle of wits. It is not. The only way to enjoy the Darby fight is by throwing out of the window any semblance of logic.

>>280486448

This is another thing I hate about part 3. It's not 20 episodes, it's fucking 48. 48 episodes of the absolute worst writing in the series by a mile.

>>280486329
>This is why I love parts 2 and 6 above all others
BASED. For me it's part 2, then 1, then 6 though. I love part 1 for how ridiculous it is, like they just went out of their way to be as over the top as they could about everything and it's pure entertainment.

>>280486725
I assure you there is no competitive game where, at a high level, such a low level bluff would force your opponent to give up on the game and leave the room. Because that's essentially what Darby did

Liar Game showcases what a truly high level battle of wits is

>>280437939 (OP)

How did Jwong beat Yipes when he was down to an assist character versus a full team? You don't understand how mindgames work. Its not people playing 4D chess, that's an example of BAD writing.

>>280486902
Nothing gets worse with popularity, some people just get filtered
Music is mainstream, is it bad? No there's thousands of great underground bands out there, but some people for some reason hyperfocus on the most popular pop artists instead of listening to what they actually like
Anime will be (in fact already is) the same. Lots of garbage for you to hyperfocus on, or you can focus on the good shows that release every season

>>280486936
jwong vs yipes has nothing to do with mind games

>>280486955
Music isn't a very good comparison for any other form of media because of the sheer amount of it that gets released every year. There aren't nearly as many bottlenecks in the way of production or distribution, so you can cherrypick pretty much anything out of the massive piles of music to prove either side.
A better comparison for anime is the game industry, which has been utterly destroyed beyond repair by normalfags and mass popularity. Or the film industry, which gets worse the larger its audience gets, particularly now that they've started trying to pander to China. Looking at those two examples, it's extremely concerning for anime to be inching toward the same path. That's not to say it's 100% guaranteed to be ruined, just that it's a real possibility.

>>280487025
It has everything to do with mind games. Even in JoJo, the second Darby brother faces off against the gang in video games. There's an old saying in fighting games, and it goes
>There's nothing more dangerous than a mahvel player backed into a corner.
This is because Marvel is a grimy hood nigga game that teaches you to play like an absolute fucking animal, and when Marvel players move onto new games they become famous for their asspulls and ridiculous comebacks.

Jwong literally becomes an anime protagonist here and does something he never did before, that was so hard he couldn't reproduce it. This is what high level competition is really like lol.

>>280486955
>Lots of garbage for you to hyperfocus on, or you can focus on the good shows that release every season
If something goes from being 50% garbage to being 90% garbage then it has gotten worse. There may be the same amount of good out there being produced but it's being overshadowed by an ever increasing pile of shit. Like >>280487370 said, anime isn't as easy to make as something like music, if something shitty starts getting popularized in anime that shit is going to quickly spread to everyone making anime because they're all interested in cashing in on the latest trend. You may have a studio here and there that's uninterested in following the trend and simply wants to stick to making high quality anime in a very specific way, but the reality is that the production of good anime gets cut down when the production of bad anime goes up.

>>280487888
>90% garbage then it has gotten worse
Everything is 90% garbage all the time. That's literally what Sturgeon's Law is. You're just nostalgic for a time when you were too ignorant to recognize it as garbage.

>>280487959
Sturgeon's Law was one of the worst things that ever happened to literary criticism. You're not supposed to settle for crap like Sturgeon wanted everyone to, you're supposed to raise the bar and prove the critics wrong.

>>280486808
Yeah, I'm convinced anyone saying this wasn't the norm prior to the last 10 years is just trying to hide the fact that they are the newfags to anime who were shitting on it the entire time until now when entertainment as a whole is so bad they had no choice but to start watching anime, something they previously looked down on.

>>280487959
>Everything is 90% garbage all the time.
exactly why if you have something that isn't 90% garbage you need to do everything you can to gatekeep it so it doesn't hit the mainstream and inevitably become 90% garbage. It's too late for anime though, you literally have instathots dressing up as anime characters for likes because it's so mainstream now. But in the future, if you find some other niche interest that isn't total soulless garbage, make sure you're not so willing to let everyone else in and ruin it for you.

Faggot.

>>280488845
/dbs/ is so strange that I kinda want it to stay, but it also makes it totally impossible to actually talk about Dragonball on this board at all because the thread will immediately devolve into deranged unintelligible babbling. The cucklin pastas are kinda funny though.

This thread is one of the dumbest threads I've seen on /a/ in a long time. We are hitting new levels of delusional cope.
/a/ is not dying because of jannies, /a/ is not dying because of generals, /a/ is not dying because of dailies, /a/ is not dying because of pass users, /a/ is not dying because of bots, /a/ is not dying because of normalfags, /a/ is not dying because of newfags, /a/ is not dying because of /v/ and /pol/ stop coping; you know deep down why /a/ is dying.

/a/ is dying because 4chan and imageboards as a whole have slowly faded into irrelevancy and newblood (zoomers, yes zoomers) are not replacing old blood (millenials and genx). The older age brackets have moved on and largely aged out of this site and zoomers are not replacing them at a rate fast enough nor are they brining enough talented people with them to upkeep and interesting dynamic for board culture, no I'm not saying zoomers are untalented because every generation has talent its just that now all of them don't need to use 4chan anymore, they can just use social media.

You can find more extreme content on Instagram and Twitter these days, you can find tons of people with niche interests on most of social media fairly easily, zoomers have largely 0 reason to use this site and most of them have been raised to not see any value in anonymity and the few that do are here but its not nearly enough.

imageboards are fading into the abyss and the old internet has almost entirely disappeared, niche communities and alt chans exist, irc still is used but that doesn't mean that new blood is coming in at a rate to sustain it all long term. It just isn't. Zoomers are on this board, a bunch of them are. But we need a lot more, way more. You can blame it on every external factor you can think of but that's dishonest, 4chan and /a/ are dying because the style of posting here is borderline foreign and archaic to most newfags so we need Twitter screencaps like this to get them to even maybe engage with it.

>>280489473
/a/ is dying because someone will start a thread about anime and it will devolve into an argument about why /a/ is dying instead of having a discussion about anime.

>>280488205
But he never said you had to settle for crap

He just said sci-fi was not an inferior genre to others, it had as much crap as any other genre

>>280489473
Altchans can survive for decades with less than 1% of 4chan's population. The truth is that humans are great surviving. And this website WILL survive no matter how bad it gets.

We are guaranteed to have 4chan for as long as we are alive.

/a/ will never cease to exist, it will continue living in altchans at least.

Maybe 60+ years from now, when our generation is gone, chans will die. But that won't happen while we are alive. Just look at history. Shit lasts a long time that's how it works.

The reason there is so much of it is BECAUSE people stopped using the board before it even showed up.
/a/ was already on track to be dead before Bleach and Naruto caused the current wave of storytimes and dailies.
Hell, /dbs/ itself is a shadow of what it used to be. Before /dbs/ would go through like a dozen threads a day, even when there was literally NOTHING on the horizon, and threads would hit bump limit in about two hours.

>but it also makes it totally impossible to actually talk about Dragonball on this board at all because the thread will immediately devolve into deranged unintelligible babbling.
That's a benefit.
"Dragon Ball discussion" is a complete joke. It being treated as such a joke that its threads can be purely occupied by shitposters on the board designed to host said discussion is honestly more interesting than ANY amount of DB discussion.
>>280493287
As has been said before, the VAST VAST majority of /a/, including everyone in this thread, blatantly posts on /v/ more than /a/.

The dub statistic is vague

90 percent watch dubbed but it doesn't say anything about subbed so for all you know 10 percent are subs only and like 80 percent watch both

I dunno, the whole "your here forever" meme seems to be a load of bull, all of this recently has been bumming me out and I'm starting to just use the site less and less as the weeks go by. The admin don't care anymore so why should I?

They've made captcha much worse recently for new IPs. I don't know what they're trying to do. Push pass sales? But new users won't bother with that garbage, indecipherable captchas and cryptic wait times.
This site is fucking dead. It's up on borrowed time, which is running out.

>>280494756
The captchas for new IPs have been like that for several months. But it is a non-issue. After ~3 days you become a trusted user and get the old captchas.

>I don't know what they're trying to do.
The convenient captchas are easily solved by algorithms. There's even a very known one that pretty much everyone uses and I'm surprised an alleged oldfag like you doesn't know about it. Anyway, solving captchas with bots is not the problem. The problem is that some malicious people spam the website with professional grade tools, and the difficult captcha is the only thing that keeps them from 100% automating the process.

>>280437939 (OP)
Somehow such report always align with the industry output becoming insufferable slop
Coincidence? I don't think so.

>>280494864
>The captchas for new IPs have been like that for several months.
They've been getting much worse. And you have to wait for 2 minutes every time you try to get the captcha in another thread. Which potentially new user would bother with this fucking bullshit?

>>280494930
Anon it used to be 10 minutes. They shortened it to 2.

And you don't get the 2 minutes timer every single time. You're supposed to only get it once. Sometimes I get it multiple consecutive times too but never more than three times. It usually happens when you get the timer but don't make a post right after it ends.

>>280494930
Newcomers should lurk, not post.

>>280494960
>Anon it used to be 10 minutes. They shortened it to 2.
It was 15 minutes.
>And you don't get the 2 minutes timer every single time. You're supposed to only get it once.
Wrong. An actual new user (new IP + no cookie) has to wait 2 minutes to post in a thread. Then you can make a post every minute (normal timer). But if you get the captcha in another thread, the timer is reset and you have to wait 2 minutes again. Suppose you waited 2 minutes, but then didn't make a post, and decided you wanted to post in another thread first: wait another 2 minutes. I think it stays like this for the first 30 minutes or so.
You also have to go through the cloudflare captcha (so you need to enable the NSA spy scripts on your browser), and often a hcaptcha.

>>280495068
And all that takes 10 seconds (not counting the 2 minutes you'd wait to make the post, which you can use to grab a coffee or go to the bathroom). A very small and non-intrusive price to pay to keep spammers at bay.
>You also have to go through the cloudflare captcha (so you need to enable the NSA spy scripts on your browser)
Anon this is a cloudflare website. They already have your data.

>>280490285
>Literally what the hell do retards mean by this?
It means not being of the mindset that the more people who participate in something, the better it becomes. If someone claims to love anime but complains about basically every trope that separates anime from everything else then they don't like anime, they just like the aesthetic and hope to hijack it and force anime studios to put out american tier trash with an anime aesthetic, their opinions need to be shunned, and they shouldn't feel welcome in spaces that talk about anime. People who actually like anime can and should be able to discuss it and feel as though they're able to become part of the anime community. It's honestly less of a problem with /a/, and more of a problem with everyone outside of /a/, but it's still worth mentioning. A good example of what I mean that I see all the time is if someone has a friend who bitches about lolis, and ecchi, and harems, and whatever else every time you bring up anime, don't try to list off a bunch of anime for them to go watch that avoids all of that to convince them to get into anime despite all of the things they hate about it. Just let them continue not watching anime, because what happens is that they eventually do start getting into anime and then want to start talking about it online and when they get online they start talking about how much they like this kind of anime over here but that kind of anime over there is evil and gives anime a bad name and should be banned and how there needs to be more black women in anime and then eventually we end up where we are today where everyone on /a/ is bitching about culture wars all day and not even tangentially mentioning anime.

>It's not problematic to share news, announcements or statistics
For /a/ those are in Japanese. English language Twitter is outside of the board's scope.

Exactly, I get if it was some twitter anime e-celeb spouting his shitty opinion or something, but it's literally just news about the anime industry. If that twitter post was written word for word in the 4chan post instead of screen shotted off twitter this would be a completely different thread, which is retarded. If /a/ is dying it's because people come on here and look for any excuse to not talk about anime.

The only real English anime news sources are ANN and CR and those aren't exactly popular on /a/ either.
