Remember 2006? Better times for western anime fans.

Endless Eight can kiss my ass.

>>280890341
Endless Eight didn't come out until 2009.

>>280890364
Idgaf about the years. I had a visceral reaction to picrel.

This whole episode was fucking terrible outside of the God Knows itself

I don't care about western anime "fans" and whether they have good times or not

After 2011 everything went down because of the gradual surge in popularity and the spike in 2020 due to COVID lockdown.
2012 with SAO
2013 with Shingeki no Kyojin
2016 with Hero Academia
2019 with Kimetsu no Yaiba
2020 - COVID lockdown and then people who are stuck at home watch anime on Netflix or Crunchyroll
And then we got Jujutsu Kaisen, Chinsawman, Spy x Family, Frieren etc etc in the following years. Also, One Piece that used to be the punching bag among Big 3 outside of Japan is everywhere now in the US, especially LA and Las Vegas.

>>280890625
... are you saying people from LA and Las Vegas were less shit before 2020?

>>280890716
No.

>>280890716
It's more that they're spreading and people are getting more used to their shit

Fuck off back to gaia.

That's some highly specific framing. Explain.

>>280890539
How so?

The only kino moment of the show.

This was patient zero for highschool anime bullshit

That bunny senpai anime is one of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever seen. It made me drop anime for like a year after I watched it.

>>280891204
i thought it was pretty ok

>>280890625
>One Piece that used to be the punching bag among Big 3 outside of Japan is everywhere now in the US
This is the the biggest indicator of them all to me that the anime landscape is truly irredeemable at this point. One Piece was, and still is hot garbage, but with the huge surge in media refugees flooding to anime because everything else has gotten so bad, the bar has dropped so low that One Piece is unironically being called peak anime by people now.

not really, i was 8

That's nice. And I'm not trying to be sarcastic. Just a personal matter of taste from my part.

I remember trying hard to get other anime fans into One Piece but fucking nobody wanted to watch that. Even Bleach to some extent. Makes me even madder knowing that every canceled show and manga in the past probably would have did much better if it was produced today. Probably even better than the top shit today.

>tfw that time period when Shounen Jump was axing all their old stuff regardless of popularity just to get new authors in
I'm still mad.

Fpbp

>>280891113
one of these is not like the others

>>280890341
I remember watching the first episode three times by accident and thinking that a few things changed here and there and that this is what people were complaining about.
Then I realized my mistake and watched the rest and figured out that people are retarded and it wasn't that bad at all

Endless Eight is both a terrible experiment in psychology and also a masterpiece for the same exact reason
