This is from ajin, an incredibly cringe manga full of call of duty references and horrendously dry paneling.

>>724196954
Nobody cares /a/tard, god you niggers are so fucking annoying.

I don't use /a/ because it's full of this garbage now

Sato is a westaboo, no wonder he plays on Xbox

The Xbox 360 is so wigger coded

>>724196954
The opinion of a bethesdaspic like you is of no consequence.

>>724196267 (OP)
japan used xbox mostly for USF4

Imagine capturing a female Ajin and doing inhumane things to her body...

Maybe Xbox has never been mainstream in the Japanese gaming market enough to be hated.

There has always been a small fandom, of course, but it has never been able to rival Nintendo and PlayStation.

>>724196267 (OP)
Even Japan has their contrarians.

You think people were exaggerating their corporate xenophobia? Even when apple solidly ended the phone gimmick wars, you still had holdouts in japan refusing to move on from their "galapagos phones"

>>724202915
>corporate xenophobia
It's called having taste

>>724203056
That would scan if they BELIEVED they were buying quality products, but the existence of the phrase "sony timer" should dispel that idea.

>>724196267 (OP)
Japan loves NTR, ergo Japan loves Xbox

Xbox lost because they blamed others for the lack of sales and failed to analyze themselves calmly, just like you are now.

>There is one event that has left a strong impression on my memory.
>That was in 2014 when I spoke to Itagaki-sensei, author of Grappler Baki.
>At the time, Itagaki-sensei was finally ready to relaunch the Baki series and start a new series after a year long break. To the surprise of fans, the serialization of Baki-do, which revives 'Musashi Miyamoto' using cloning technology and pits him against modern-day Baki and his friends, has begun.
>One day, over the phone, I was suddenly asked:
>Mr. Itagaki: "Saito-chan, Do you know what Halo 4 is?"
>Saito: "Eh...?You mean that foreign game...?"
>Mr. Itagaki: "Yeah, yeah, yeah... that Halo background art. It's amazing. I'd love to incorporate it into Baki!"
>Saito: "……!!?"
>Mr. Itagaki "So, I' m going to revive Musashi Miyamoto, aren't I? Can you make the underground facility there like Halo? I'll send you the setting references now."
>I was immensely impressed by so much. Halo is indeed a very well-known overseas title, but in Japan it had not yet become a big topic of conversation, and even more so when Itagaki-sensei, who was almost 60 years old at the time, was impressed by Halo's game graphics and decided to use it.
Halo is strong...

Look at what games are popular in Japan and then look at what games were on Xbox.
The only games I can think of that vaguely align with Japanese tastes that were only on Xbox were
>SMT NINE
Which was a niche within a niche
>Rent-A-Hero No. 1
Which was a Dreamcast port if I recall
>Blue Dragon
Which was outshined by DQIX

I have not read any manga in almost a year? I had like 30 series on backlog and bookmarked just waiting for the chapters to build up
I check back and those sites are all deleted and my bookmarks updated to a blank no title bookmark. What the fuck

>>724205293
If you stop believing in your mangas they dissapear.

xbox 360 was semi-popular in Japan during the early 2010's and had a reputation for being a weab console
i wish i could post that image of a japanese guy hoarding 360's

>>724197046
Because the mods morphed it into a SFW /lgbt/ board? Same. I only go there occasionally to ask them why can't they reproduce if homo is so natural. All they do is melt down over any form of heterosexuality.

i think a lot of the arcade games were ported to xbox 360 and many vn's were xbox exclusives so 360 sold quiet well in japan.
ninja gaiden and idolmaster were xbox only too i think?

>>724196267 (OP)
there's an entire subculture of japanese westaboos that worship the military industrial complex
we're not so different

>>724205724
Generals

>>724205724
Because the faggoty ass mods find a reason to delete every thread and most posters just shit post about seasonal slop and have the same discussion ad nauseum

>>724205724
That's normal pandemic overcrowding.

>>724205724
The site staff wanted to make it a second homo board. I dunno, maybe check the near-daily, totally-legit Nico voting threads. My dad works at Nico, so I don't have to post proof of my notepad screenshot.

>>724205934
Generals were only formally banned in 2016, and the peak of /a/'s activity had been only a few years before that point. The current general plague is due to a lack of activity on /a/, it is not the direct cause of the activity dropoff.

Nico threads have been posted longer than a majority of posters here have been alive. If they were the cause of a decline, /a/ would not exist.

That's not what I said and you know it.

The vns for some reason, were on 360 and pc, and often skipped ps3 or came to ps3 late

>insular general drama / singular spammer
Has never been the cause for overall board decline. Try again.

>>724205724
I'd rather have a slower board than whatever the fuck nu-/v/ is

>>724205724
The only way I'd ever go back to /a/ is if all dailies/storytimes and ritual posters were removed. Mods removed actual /a/ culture forcibly then immediately replaced it with way worse shit.

>>724206481
You don't win just by making up cope. But now, make up cope for this.
https://4stats.io/
Even /g/ is more active than /a/.

>>724206494
/a/ has like 3 naruto generals right now. what the fuck do you mean a slower board? what's the point of a slower board if the whole board is rotting garbage

>>724206494
/a/ is slower than it was before, but the vast majority of its activity is dailies, /csm/, the Precure general, and /opg/.
Every other thread is dead for hours at a time or just the same one or two people (usually both).
>>724206618
The sad reality.

>>724206618
That's sorted by time of day,

Mario man was the true protagonist.

>>724206618
>Clearly shows /a/ is more active than /g/
Anon-sama...
/a/ is one of the higher boards, though not /pol/vg/v/ tier

>>724207042
sato is kino machine

>>724206854
>/a/ deader than /tv/
The entire mod staff responsible for /a/ should be fired for ruining the board this badly

>>724196267 (OP)
All my Japanese friends from school only game on PC, they don't even own a Switch.

>>724207216
90% of /tv/ posts are off topic shit
Just go to /b/ if you want that

>>724207167
>/a/ is one of the higher boards
That is entirely due to /a/ having constant spam of some variety. Roughly at least 10% of all threads at a given time are a daily or storytime. You remove that spam (and not even the more blatant spam that occurs in the three big generals of /a/) and its activity would be below that of /co/.

>>724207249
they sound like westaboos

>>724207267
But /a/ is also almost entirely off topic shit, dumping, and bumping. Like I don't need to see posts like >>724207208

If it's all third worlders posting kino to bump shitty generals off page 10 then just bin the whole board at this point. I don't think /a/ can be saved.

>>724206618
>>724206828
Good. Let it die.

Yeah but Sato is a truly fantastic villain and the sequencing itself of the action is stellar, which makes up for the shortcomings

That is not how you draw action

>>724200223
I'd seen this panel on /v/ many times before actually reading Ajin. I was utterly unprepared for how hilarious it is in context

>>724209803
yeah it was totally poggers fr fr

>>724209849
What are you mad at? Do you even know?

>>724210020
I read it dude. Keep responding to yourself every time the thread hits page 10. It's just like /a/!

>>724210020
You see, its a fun manga and /v/ hates fun.

>>724196954
Is there any manga that is genuinely well-written or at least appears to have a conclusion planned from the outset other than Pun-pun?

>>724210376
Boku no Hero Academia

>>724209508
two guys grappling is going to look more actiony than a guy firing a pistol. Not exactly an even comparison.

Not gonna shed a tear for the dragon ball general but still, it says everything about nu-/a/

>>724205724
/a/ is genuinely horrible. The tourists there (that have now become the regulars) don't even pretend to hide their tourism. They speak like broccoli headed zoomers and don't try to hide it.
I do think it takes a special kind of person to consume contemporary gookslop (the same shitty isekai, battle shounen and moeshit tropes compounding upon each other) and i think the audience reflects that.

>>724205724
Every one of these images is a constant reminder of how dead this site is. They were always inaccurate and written by the fags who posted often but show a good example on why this site died

>Why did /a/ die?
While not /jp/ tier it's still a very unwelcoming board, and the fact is that most kids who are looking to discuss manga and anime will be content with tiktok or some other platform.

>>724205724
>Why did /a/ die?
The state of modern anime is dire. Maybe there's a connection.

>>724215013
>The state of modern anime is dire
But /a/ is full of newfag retards discussing old toonami anime old /a/ didn't even like. The reason /a/ is dead is because it's repulsive retards and posers that hate anime now, and the only people that will tolerate their company is wsj retards. Everyone that actually likes anime and manga bailed on the board.

>>724210376
Pun-pun is not that good

>>724209508
Is it the guy on the left who gets thrown?

>>724205724

we dont get that much original anime for each season, people who want to discuss the anime will just read the manga instead, and the manga and anime is just too stale right now, everything look and feel similar

you use /a/ other than discussing airing shows?

wat

>>724220215
I also discuss ongoing manga and shitpost in bait threads

>>724210376
Punpun is nihilistic garbage and is one of the worst manga I have ever read. It truly was miserable reading it.
