Is there a point where this becomes too masturbatory?

When I personally stop enjoying it.

>newfag doesn't even know that references are really common in the anime industry

trigger is shit so they have to resort to this so their fanboys can go apeshit

/thread

I generally like when Trigger references their shit but Luluco was masturbatory as fuck.

gyaru thread

I don't see you asking yourself that question when you fap.

masturbatory is the word of the day

this

You can't expect much from a creatively bankrupt studio. Dude references lmao is their only schtick, luckily every show past KLK is a flop and they'll die out soon.

Gintama has been doing the same thing with shounen jump for a decade and no one is making a thread bitching about it.

How badly do you think Imaishi wants to have sex with Anno?

Trigger gonna die off in next 5 years.

usually that situation means the one party is doing something well and the other is doing it poorly

But they do? There have been threads here and there over the years that complain the same thing.

Not very much, why?

I've been masturbating for over 12 years and it's still a load of fun.

I want to fuck Save the world!

Yeah but most people probably don't want to watch you masturbate.

And lots of people loved watching Luluco or Abenobashin, so it just proves that it's a failed analogy.
