>>280492657 (OP)
It's funny how wish-fulfillment, borderline isekai-level protag such as Maomao is "strong lead" now. Femoid hypocrisy is off the charts.

>>280492657 (OP)
It is wrong. I want more twinks and more shotas, and more urban fantasy settings and more edge and becoming a demon lord or puppet master, controlling things from behind the curtain.

We can still fix this. Both lust for "underage" characters and xenophobia have never grown faster or harder than recently.

>>280493055
Yes. Yesterday a boy saw me smoking and said "Wow you are smoking just like Reki from the anime Haibane Renmei made in 2002 by studio Radix!".

>>280492657 (OP)
Women don't know what they want so taking their opinion seriously is retarded.

They claim they want strong woman protagonists but would keep buying ikemen shounen series like Reborn, Jujutsu, and so on.

>>280492657 (OP)
The last thing anime needs are more girlboss MCs; what anime desperately needs are male MCs that aren't whiners, losers, sophists, moralists, or beta rags their female secondaries walk all over and treat like slaves. Solo Leveling proved this.

I know it's a shit thread but I can't help and try to dig a bit.
From a quick google search:
https://animehunch.com/anime-fans-call-for-stronger-female-leads-amp-adult-protagonists/
>A study commissioned by anime streaming giant Crunchyroll and conducted by National Research Group (NRG) reported that 44% of anime fans want to see more strong female leads in their content.
lmao

The study itself is a fancy webpage, which is usually dubious regarding their methods or how they present data. I can't find a more detailed report, and it seems like you have to give your info for other data.
https://view.ceros.com/nrgmr/crunchyroll-global-state-of-anime/p/1
>Nearly 6-in-10 US anime fans want to see more racial diversity in anime, and many are also asking for greater inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters, people with disabilities, and Indigenous cultures.
This is a typical case where you'd need the full report. Depending on how the question was asked, this can influence the numbers significantly. I don't think most of them actually "want" that, but rather "wouldn't mind" that, for instance.

>>280492951
She literally just Petite Girl version of Detective Conan

>>280492657 (OP)
Why do normalfags need adult protagonists to be able to enjoy a story? Even with ones they already enjoy they'd much prefer to have the protagonist be an adult.

>>280493130
Solo Leveling doesn't prove anything though?

>>280493160
This, it's the same old "Americans think America is the whole world" bs

>>280492951
Maomao had to work way harder to achieve anything than any isekai protags with their OP God-granted abilities.

>>280492657 (OP)
The issue of course that Anime is made by Japanese people for Japanese audiences. Japan is where studios make most of their money (for international releases they have to share the profits), so what global Anime fans want doesn't really matter.

>>280492916
>High Guardian Spice...

>>280493273
I wouldn't be so sure, even if they have to share the profits, they still make a lot of money from overseas markets. Remember when Hollywood was doing everything they could to pander to the Chinese market?

I don't think the West could handle actual strong female leads.

>>280492657 (OP)
>(((Global Anime Fans)))
Right

>>280493405
Any girl who shows off an inch of skin isn’t a strong lead to them. At the end of the day women hate other women more then they can hate men

I'm tired of outrage and culture war at this point because the participants are a bunch of dumbasses and they could easily get manipulated and fooled by big corpo for thei own gain over and over and over again

>>280492657 (OP)
Their idea of "strong" is not what the people answering the surveys had in mind. Besides, advocating for strong, independent women in this day and age is behind the times. It's all about the troons and defeating gender now.

>>280493419
Nah, women who show off their skin are considered acceptable if they're empowered/confident and beat up any men that tries to do anything to them.
Like Emma Frost.

>>280493399
Even if they made most of their money overseas it won't come from Europe or the US.
It would come from China, Korea, and then Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and so on.
US and Europe might be rich but Anime/Manga isn't a 10,000 yen "good" to be sold it's a mass market scale good that costs nothing and lives on Volume.
And Asia has us beaten hands down on that.

I mean look at Akiba, it's mobage from Korea and China making most of the big boy ad spaces. And thats for a reason.

>>280493399
overseas markets =/= just the US

>>280493214
t. mad because I'm right and his waifu a shit

>>280493458
This is why pirating anime as a westerner is objectively a service to the industry, the greater the market share you contribute to the more they'll take the opinions of your transsexual negro compatriots seriously.

>>280493714
Pirate the anime if you really enjoy it buy the blu-ray to support the animators

>>280493454
What it really comes down to is in their mind who is the audience for this. If its a character or show that they view as pro women or lgbt its empowering for them to be naked. If its a show that they view as men mostly like then its bad and harmful.

>>280492734
It's called astroturfing. It's an attempt by foreign groups to pressure the Japanese into making trash that is compliant with their standards.

>>280492657 (OP)
I'm sure this "research" consisted of them looking at what normalfags on twitter had to say.

>>280493458
Is that a fucking Maid CASINO?

>/v/ whines about gatekeeping everyday
>degrades /a/ until shit threads like this are acceptable

>>280493733
No, they take the opinions of those that support them enough seriously. It's better that they don't feel any support from the west.

OP is probably the same guy who spammed the netflix 50% threads.
Mods do your fucking job.

>>280492657 (OP)
Dandadan has a protagonist duo, which we actually need more off.

>>280492657 (OP)
The market is the ultimate sample pool. Audiences worldwide and across mediums have rejected the girlboss and moved eastward to get away from boring, ugly, misandrist Hollywood norms.

Stop blaming normies for this, BTW. Start blaming Jews and Reddit moderator types.

>>280494356
BTW, if you think that Reddit moderators are normies, take a look at the Reddit moderators and then go outside and look at the people around you.

>>280492657 (OP)
Meh, among the most popular anime of last year only one had a female lead
most people still want male power fantasy and high school age shonenslop

I'm kinda blown away, this threads about to hit bump >>280437939 and this thread seems to be protected by jannies, I dunno what to think anymore.

>>280494442
The mods have started to actively work against /a/ around 10 years ago. There were always some who were on our side, but I'm convinced that as of this year they don't exist anymore.

>>280492657 (OP)
Strong female leads make me hard. Adult strong female lead make me hard. Easy as.
I can offer you a compromise, an adult gets isekaied and becomes a strong female lead. That would make me hard too.

>>280492657 (OP)
With a sample size of like a hundred people or less, I bet

>>280492657 (OP)
>>280493850
Don't we already have that? Like I'm not going to incel rage over female leads but there's literally entire genres dedicated to it.
If anything I want more soft seinen or something like Death Note.

I feel like I'm talking to a wall when I say this, but the people who need to be gatekept aren't normies. Most of the great contributors to nerdom have lives outside of consuming media. If anything, there's a strong argument to be made that people who've held jobs outside of the intelligentsia sphere (education, finance, media, law, government) should be favored.

The people who need to be gatekept are weak, submissive men (men like Dan DiDio who completely surrendered to Gail Simone's cabal in spite of being her boss, for example) and what I call "type B nerds" who care less about having fun than using the medium as an avenue to prove their intellectual and moral superiority. Type A being the majority who just wants to have fun. Also, psychotic dunning kruger MBAs who don't know anything about the customer or the market.

>>280492657 (OP)
Aren't normalfags creating their own anime with AI already? They could very well add an old, black, trans and disabled MC and write the characters in any way they'd like. That would leave the based human-made stuff for us.

>>280493160
>Indigenous cultures
Even if you conceded and assumed that people actually wanted it, anime isn't a great medium for this; the indigenous culture that would be most relevant to the Japanese are the Okinawans, which most nips don't even consider to be a separate group of people

>>280494549
>The people who need to be gatekept are weak, submissive men
You are either mentally stunted or submissive if you are a nerd, it always comes from one of those places and I am proud of you for coming out there and declaring yourself the first type

There are plenty of manga and anime with strong/competent female leads. Are we suddenly pretending it doesn't?
It's more like people need to stop watching shounenshit.

>>280494637
We both know what they're trying to push.

We're not talking about capable women of strong moral character: humble, honest, kind, etc.

When the left says "strong women", they mean unfeminine narcissists who are here to go to put men in their place. A shallow parody of masculinity put in a barely female body, which is how the retarded blue haired writer sees herself.

Not what happened.
>There were always some who were on our side, but I'm convinced that as of this year they don't exist anymore.
What likely actually happened is that /a/ janitors were re-assigned to other boards to cope with the continuing raids following the site coming back up plus all the janitors that left due to getting, you know, doxx'd- so most of them are probably on boards like /v/ and /pol/ now, and the only jannys that would STAY after getting doxx'd have to be some form of fucked in the head.

>otaku are shocked to learn that shows with entire casts of little girls don't make for compelling stories

The people who predicted the fall of western media were correct about that, and we'll be correct about Japan's current direction too if they don't tell these people to fuck off right now.

Might happen faster to Japan since people are already wary.

>The people who predicted the fall of western media were correct about that, and we'll be correct about Japan's current direction too if they don't tell these people to fuck off right now.
I can't believe that the west completely raped and changed anime 20 years ago when... anime was also extremely popular globally, to the point where the term "Big Three" was coined to denote three longrunning franchises getting massively popular in English countries at the same time.
>they don't tell these people to fuck off right now.

Okay, so you can't read.

Anime elitists have been circlejerking themselves for so long that they have a huge misunderstanding of what actually makes anime good (and no, it's not cute and sexy girls)

>>280493411
Dammit anon, girl is cute but sauce is turbogay

>>280494981
Clearly the issue is you don't have any real internal thought processes if you didn't get my point.
These types of articles about women in anime have existed for over 20 years. There were regularly articles about gender discrimination in Naruto.
But the actual reality isn't that you're retarded, at least not entirely. You're the bad actor, spamming dogshit clickbait like this, making threads with no topics, all so you can go "Guys... we have to SAVE anime..." for some retarded reason.
Is it to feel like you fit in? You don't. You stick out like a sore thumb, and ironically, despite all that talk of "telling people to fuck off", you're the person invading another board to dictate what it should be about. If you have any sense of self-awareness, you will kill yourself immediately upon reading this post.

1. This snippet from can easily be made in MSPaint
2. The article is just a concluding statement
3. It can easily be rewritten to say that global anime fans’ opinions don’t matter or that they are in support of younger female characters and more age gap relationships.

I wonder what it's like being this actually mentally ill.
Everyone knows that all of these posts are by the same person and that it's just an extremely upset shitposter who's trying so fucking hard to pretend he's more than one person.

He thinks that if he just shitposts so much that it looks like it couldn't be just one person that it will look like it's more than one person. He is just EXTREMELY consumed with trying to attack people over 4chan.

He wants SO BADLY to think that he's some kind of "epic troll". He just doesn't understand what a massive and pathetic retard he is for being OBSESSED with what he thinks is a single person. He literally couldn't "troll" anyone if his life depended on it because he's just too stupid and transparent.

Who cares what the data thinks.
People should write stories for themselves, if you try to create something that "fans" will like you're just guessing.
We already have great stories with female leads (battle angel alita is one of my favourite manga) and adult protagonists (literally any seinen), I don't understand what they're asking.
For one piece to reboot with a female protagonist? That's probably it.

>>280492657 (OP)
If you resisted the instant urge to be contrarian you'd realise that the golden age of good shit had adult protagonists all the time and would be a return to actual sci-fi and fantasy and not just eternal high school video game shit.

This there's literally thousands of female lead manga and adult lead manga.
These are secondaries who have only read manga whose target audience is young boys and complained.

Wait a fucking minute.

I feel like we actually did a better Job at "trying to fix" our medium than /v/ since we don't pay for our anime/manga which means that we didn't really support anything. At least that's better than wasting your money to buy a censored slop from Modern West/Japan/China/Korea because you keep falling for censorship Bait and Switch and even support the game and developer after they kick you in the balls because you are too prideful to admit they played you like a damn fiddle

even /a/ from 2 yrs ago would have roll charts up and ready for this shit thread already

A lot of leftist aligned retards go off vibes so they associate Kumeta's style with their brand of cancer. Kind similar to idiots that find 00s bishoujo art and end up surprised that it was created for the male gaze.

>>280496764
They're mad that shounen has more visibility, so they want to make it for normalfags and women so they have more visibility.

>280497213
They consequently ban for these, and tend to auto-ban anyone who replies.

This shit is off-topic and bait. Nobody fucking cares what "global" anime fans want. Kill yourself OP

>>280492657 (OP)
wasn't Frieren a strong female lead?

>>280497294
And probably completely made up... either the OP screenshot, or if it's a real "news post", the study.

>Anime Fans Want ...Adult Protagonists
can confirm
i will turn 31 on september this year and ever since i turned 28 i started noticing that i lose interest in an anime the moment it is stated that the MC is a teenager or i also instantly lose interest if the MC is in high school

dear future anime writers, i need your characters to look ambiguously adult and please never state their age
thanks

This report is giving Crunchyroll the results it paid for and interpreting them the way their client wants. Saying 56% don't care about stronger female leads doesn't exactly fit the narrative.

The whole page is well worth a read for all the little tidbits inside, such as 22% of viewing is still piracy, or the fact that 74% of zoomer/millennial anime fans either prefer subs or enjoy watching them equally with dubs (now square that against the Netflix thread).

I am indifferent to female leads because there are plenty of anime like that. In fact, I think most of the anime I enjoy and watch have female leads.
More adult protagonists would be nice. However this is kind of achieved by portraying 'high school' persons as acting very adult like, so I don't know if saying they are now 30 years old really changes anything. Besides, there are plenty of adult characters in shows even if they aren't the focal point in many new popular anime/manga.

/v/ already went through this experience so they know what to expect

>>280492684
I think it truly died with cyberpunk edgesloppers. Im not kidding when i shit it off 30 seconds in because animation was bad. A friend put it on and we got 3/4 of the way through first ep and hes like "this is kinda bad".

And yet normalfags liked it. Normalfags exclaim "peak!." Normal fags set it as gold standard for other companies to copy. Netflix shit ruined anime. Except violet evergarden. That was kino because it was written by actual japanese people.

Long rant but There isnt a barrier of entry to anime anymore. No more codec downloading, no more downloading subs, no more searching for pirate sites and reading forums. Its all crunchyroll and their activist VA and even localizers changing subs.

Its truly the worst time for the hobby as it gets more popular. Its all so tiresome

>>280492657 (OP)
Left is a girl that is constantly being kidnapped and bitchslapped, right is a girl constantly being sexually assaulted. But wokes somehow see them as "strong" just because they are the main characters and have some autonomy. Talk about low self steem.

>Except violet evergarden.

She is isekai christian so it doesn't count.

They are doing that, see Lazarus last season

Would it help to strengthen the moralfag schizos who spam "anime is for pedos" and shit?

>>280492916
Cute!

>>280492657 (OP)
Oh no the feminists and Harvard MBAs have found another medium to fucking ruin now that it's immensely profitable. Just like cartoons, just like video games, and once again they will claim that the medium going to shit after they start getting involved will have nothing to do with them and their eternal quest to ensloppify every single fucking thing on the planet.

my favorite old anime have teenage/children mcs :)

>>280498682
I liked it what can i say. The charachters werent 100 hundred percent cardboard cutouts. It wasnt perfect but it was better than a lot of slop.

xtian animes is le good and saving anime.

>>280498835
you mean women in general.

(Female take)
Is it so weird to want strong characters (not just female) that go through character development at a normal pace, instead of just a supportive character with tits?? I mean, the anime feels so empty when the characters’ personalities are as interesting as a board, lol. In full honesty, it’s about the characters being human and not just boobs on a stick.

This is obviously rage bait for terminally online /pol/tards to seethe.
The only people who Unironically think like this are those who only consume mainstream shounenslop

>>280496773
We get adult protags all the time now too, it's just no one watches most of them. Including you. The "golden age of good shit" had teenage to child protagonists all the time too.

>>280499155
Not really but anime has always had plenty of powerful female, and male, characters so the complaint about the "lack" of it is unfounded. Same with adult characters, there's loads of shows with adult characters and always has been. It comes across like someone who's only ever watched shonen and then wonders why the shows they watch all have things aimed at a young male audience.

>>280492684
and what is there left? movies and tv died even before that and vidya died at the end of the 00s.
