After reading comments in anime dedicated groups in different social media platforms I observed a very interesting pattern on zoomers anime consumption habits:

>They prefer dubs over subs. Thats not surprising since the recent data from netflix and crunchyroll revealing the dubs preference, but what surprise me most is that most of the people do it so they can perform another activity while "watching" the show.
>
Watching video summaries in tiktok.
This one is more alarming, I was a bit shocked after seeing the huge amount of people who does it not gonna.

>Watching anime x2 speed
The epithome of retardness, at this point I dont know why they watch anime at all.

There is any explanation for such behaviors?

hahaha. you messed up your greentext, DUMMY

Honestly the dub gatekeeping needs to end. It’s getting retarded.

>>281291382
It's not. Dubs are awful.

>>281291405
Sure. Btw can you name a single Japanese dub that’s terrible? Was there ever a single Japanese voice cast that did a bad job? Oh wait, they’re all good aren’t they? Because you can’t tell.

>>281291284 (OP)
It's all about "completing" as many anime as possible because they see it as a competition instead of a hobby

>>281291423
I just watch any and all shit in the original language it was made in. This goes for black and white movies too.

>>281291284 (OP)
it's because of credit card companies

>>281291284 (OP)
They genuinely have lower attention spans than millennials on average. But also some are just casuals who got into the hobby for social reasons, not much you can do about that.

>>281291443
Is that also the reason we have the one zoomer larping as a 50 year old insisting that anime has been mainstream since the 90s?

>>281291284 (OP)
They own the world, not the other way around.

>>281291284 (OP)
The ones who dualscreen and dualspeed probably can't watch subtitles that fast, so they just put dubs on out of convenience. But 2x speed is because they have no attention spans. Their brains are fried from youth and beyond repair.

>>281291580
It HAS been mainstream since the 90s. Maybe not girly panty nosebleed type anime but they’ve had a firm grip on the west since the 90s for sure

>>281291688
You could say some specific ones made it into the western mainstream, but it's not really the same thing nowadays. Now all genres are normalfag shit except maybe literal hentai.

>>281291284 (OP)
It's the first generation of wiggers and foids who like anime retard. Not a generational divide, it's just that zoomers are the first generation where anime is mainstream so normies are factored in with the weebs who still watch torrented anime subbed at a regular speed like you soilennials do

>>281291284 (OP)
>is there an explanation for [retards]
They're too stupid to know better.

>>281291284 (OP)
Uhhhh, zoomerbros? Our response? Are we literally so inferior that we cannot properly consume fiction the way it's intended?

>>281291746
Quick someone give it a quick reply before it leaves the thread aahh too late

>>281291877
Do really you think Japanese people give a fuck that people dub their shows in their own languages? Do you care that they make Spanish dubs of American cartoons? They intend the Japanese dub for people who speak that language

>>281291746
>Retarded inferior ape with negative attention span didn't even read the entire post
Fucking kek you can't make this shit up

>>281291900
You negative attention span vegetable brain watches at 2x speed.

To ne fair the OP post is in pretty shitty English. The amount of ESLs on this site has gotten out of control.

>>281291973
I feel like the chad zoomers don’t care and the cringe zoomers gatekeep this harder than millennials did

>>281291382
The dub gatekeeping STAYS because it has a reason to be there.

>Watching anime x2 speed
>The epithome of retardness, at this point I dont know why they watch anime at all
Actually, this is pretty based.
I watch anime at 1.5x speed and sometimes at 2.0x. I wish I have done this many years ago.
And no, I am not a zoomer. I am 40yo I have watched tokusatsu for all my childhood and over 600 anime titles.

>>281292052
>counting how much anime you watched
You are a zoomer spiritually, it's not a fucking race.

You faggot millennials don't get it. When you were younger your normie friends were in your ear telling you to watch LOST or whatever while you were a weeb watching anime, for zoomers our normie friends are in our ear telling us to watch Solo Leveling while we're weebs watching anime that isn't Solo Leveling. Zoomer anime consumption is only different because it's more popular

>>281292046
Yeah, faggotry. I get it though it’s one thing to read cringe dialogue and another to hear it in your native tongue and it becomes undeniable how embarrassing the show is.

>>281292069
>t.

>>281292088

>>281291284 (OP)
Youtube and tiktok are the new TV, The new idiot box. It's not just anime people prefer watching summaries of vidya(usually these kind of vidoes are over 2hrs long) instead of actually playing the games themselves. They don't actually care about anime or video games, It's just their way of pass time mindlessly.

>>281292116
Zoomers need to be genocided. Gen Alpha will be better by default

>>281291580
It certainly hasn't been some secret club since the 00's. Everyone I knew watched pokémon, and by middle school basically all the guys in my class watched Dokuro-chan and Dai Mahou Touge on youtube together during recess (alongside stupid flash videos and whatever else we could find).
Does that make it mainstream? Probably not, but it's not like I was some /a/ cultural elite who knew shit about anime back then, so no secret club membership needed.
If I were to guess, the main difference between then and now is that companies now pay attention to the stupid shit kids watch online. Skibidib toilet is big business. And the stupid shit we watched as kids is now mainstream.

>>281291284 (OP)
old ass boomers can't pay attention to more than one thing at a time and say we have a bad attention span xD I can watch all of these on 2x without missing anything important

I want to find you and gouge your eyes out

>>281291382
>gatekeeping
There's literally nobody stopping you from watching with the original Japanese dub and then using subtitles in your own language if you don't know Japanese

>>281291999
>chad
>zoomer
oxymoron

>>281292331
Oh shit the fuck up nigger, let me learn a fucking Asian language spoken in one country so I can watch cartoons. You don’t speak Japanese and even if you did you wasted your time that could’ve been spent learning any skill you wanted. Kill yourself

>>281292376
You’re not wrong

>>281292377
Did you skip over the
>and then using subtitles in your own language

>>281292232
Actual good bait, here's a (you) for it being quality

>>281292377
That "some country" is one of the closest allies of the greatest and most powerful country on the planet, has one of the largest economies in its own right, is lauded the world over for its unique culture and millions and millions of people enjoy its cultural exports, you know, like anime and manga

Millennials will proliferate the myth that the cowboy bebop dub is better than the sub because they watched it on toonami at their grandmas house and it's heckin nostalgic soul even though it totally butchers the tone, then turn around and blame zoomers for watching dubs

>>281292311
Its 1-1 of how my zoomer cousin consumes media, its so dangerously real that it might actually not be bait.

>>281292232
>No City - Episode 5 in screenshot

Pathetic.

>>281292418
Are you acting like any motherfucker here actually speaks Japanese? You know what you were doing you fucking turbo nigger faggot. Stop larping it’s cringe as fuck

>>281292460

>>281292461
Im a millennial and believe all dubs are bad so what now?

>>281292461
It is better, cope.

>>281292418
>He wasted his time learning to read his own native language
Text to speech makes reading obsolete.

>>281292506
Then you’re retarded

>>281292484
you wearing blue jeans is equally as cringe as this

Damn he really threw his genes away like that

>>281292520
Eop zoom zoom, shoo shoo. Back to watching tiktok powerscaling vs videos fr ong.

Holy based, I kneel.

>>281292581
Who fucking cares what you think nigger you’re just going to say whatever your weeb ass thinks you have to for the dub to be worse.

>>281292601
nobody is stopping you from listening to the original voice performances and hearing the directoral intent reflected in the actor's tone and cadence, even if you are too retarded to understand a language

>>281292484
That cd rack is crazy

>>281291284 (OP)
Who fucking gives a shit
/a/ is not the "talk about what normalfags do" board

>>281292601
No you are literally watching bullshit localized for retarded toddlers then acting like we share a hobby, go be a fan of dubbed anime all you want but don't pretend we watched the same show because we didn't. Anime dubs used to be the same 5 guys from austin texas doing the voices and now that it's expanded it's literally just amateur voice "actors" doing shitty impressions of those guys and if you can stand to listen to it you are subhuman
>uh bro I like to eat while I watch TV shows
yeah well the problem with that logic is if you're retarded enough to enjoy anime dubs you're probably eating crayons

>>281292630
Holy shit dude the English dub is better I’m sorry that caused you pain. There’s other dubs better than the squeaky hamster voice Japanese dubs as well but I don’t want to give you a heart attack at the relevation that sometimes Nips fuck up casting and direction just like English speakers

>>281292681
what you mean to say is "I like the English dub more" and "I don't like the sound of the japanese language", which is fine, but why are you on /a/? shoo

>>281292675
this

>>281292675
You’re so fucking mad lmfao.
>>281292704
Dub fans are going up, sub fans are going down. You guys are in the minority. Fucking cope. Most people do not think Japanese voice actors are any better

>>281292727
most people don't belong on /a/ just like you

why are you here normalfag?

this is a false flag post by the principal to make it look like subfags aren't smart enough to know that what he is making is a bandwagon fallacy

Seething

also people don't know how to torrent nowadays if their favorite show taken down from whatever streaming service they're subscribed to it's over for them.

>>281292088
I've seen such hairdos on synth-pop concerts in the 80s. Looks like fashion really is a spiral.

>>281292799
How when you have stuff like Hayase which just lets you stream torrents. Its never been easier. Are people this dumb?

>>281292880
People thought it gay then too

Oh shut it, Depeche Mode songwriter wears it like this and he's the coolest guy.

Those people simply do not care about anime. I used to listen to shitty summerises of comic books as background noise. I curious about certain developments hinted to in the title so I listened to it. Zoomers are the same except I didn't try to push an agenda unlike certain people with anime. They're parasites who are destroying it. Worthless consumerist garbage who can barley be called human. Absolutely no love for art.

>>281292466
I didn't need to learn this.

>>281292075
Stay mad, zoomer.

>>281291284 (OP)
Zoomers are the most retarded generation that has ever existed for the things you listed and many more
And modern anime is aimed at them, and soon gen alpha, which are even more brainrotten
