Why is it so hard to seriously discuss anime ever?

Why is it so hard to seriously discuss anime ever?

>people who can't contribute to any discussion more than stating 'its good' and 'x is best girl'
>people who insist you can't hold any anime to any reasonable standard and get mad if you think of it as anything more than brainless fap fantasy fuel
>people who write off whole subgenres as shit because they watched x one time and didn't like it
>people who are incapable of critical thinking and get super defensive if an anime is criticized claiming 'you just hate fun' or other platitudes
etc.

I get that a large chunk of anime is far from being anything close to high brow entertainment but is it wrong to try and discuss more serious anime in the same way you would discuss a live action show or film?

When I ask people this I often get the response that yes you should hold ALL anime to a low standard because its 99% shit, when I feel that really isn't the case. Often this is coming from someone who is seemingly only interested in cutesy SoL shows or harems or something similar. While I don't care what people like and they can watch whatever makes them happy I feel that a lot of these people just don't have the frame of reference and anime viewing experience to really claim that the entirety of anime is just this sea of brainless waifu bait when I've seen so much that doesn't fit that frame at all.

I barely post on anime discussion boards anymore because I get too frustrated by the high levels of ignorance and general anti-intellectualism and shitflinging. Is there a place for people who like to talk about anime seriously like adults or should I just give up forever and keep my actual thoughts to myself while funposting?

Fuck off.

They're just cartoons, man.

Go watch the Big 3, you fucking faggot.

Great autistic Sup Forums fuck off response i've never heard that before funny and original

Thank you for affirming my beliefs

Thank you for affirming my beliefs

Just keep posting quality posts, and someone will reply to it earnestly.
Don't overanalyze stuff or be too autistic about some things, and you can and will have a good discussion with someone interested in the topic.
Be friendly, and respect your fellow poster.
When making a funny little joke, try to find out when it's appropriate or not.
And accept it that sometimes, there really is nothing more to be said, and that the other poster just enjoys this and that part of the anime show.

Never get overemotionally angry about this hobby.
Don't respond to extremely obvious troll posts meant to make you angry.
Sometimes, it's really best to step away from the internet and do something else in a while.

In short, apply this thing called common sense and courtesy when possible.

Dubs thread?

No, no dubs this time.

Yes, Check' em

consider /lit/
they jack each other off all the time over topics like yours

>discuss anime
haha what a fag

...

Is the irony of your post the fact that you must be making an ironic post?

Nice dubs.

...

...

Checked.

>Never get overemotionally angry about this hobby

I try, thats why I don't overstay my welcome on Sup Forums and such these days, just skim around for a thread i enjoy and pop in for a few minutes.

Sometimes it's hard to not get mad though, I just love animation way too much and care a lot about it.

Check'em

Goddamn it.

Nice get Nenecchi!

...

> keep my actual thoughts to myself while funposting?
Found your answer.

Now check mine, senpai-tachi.

Cool i'll check it out thanks

Maybe you should go write some MAL reviews then? I'm sure you'd fit right in.

...

Witnessed.

Rolling again.

But I see people discussing stuff seriously all the time. You probably just have a confirmation bias and only see the bad.

If you're looking for essay length posts, look elsewhere. The board moves too fast for that and you can only write two-thousand characters to begin with.

>in the same way you would discuss a live action show or film?
Sup Forums is even fucking worse in this regard.

Just fuck off to reddit if you want to jack off your "intellect" while the rest of us post like human beings.

Sorry about all this, OP.

...

Check'em senpai

Check'em

Sup Forums is full of manchildren and actual children who revel in their own stupidity and lack of originality nowadays. They love just posting the same memes and shitposts over and over again, while also watching everyone around them post the same memes and shitposts over and over again because it makes them feel like they fit in and are accepted, which has never happened to them in real life before which is what makes them desperate to do it here.

This.

>Sorry
OP deserves this treatment.

>Is there a place for people who like to talk about anime seriously like adults
no serious adults who aren't mentally handicapped would ever attempt this. seems like you got assblasted about people finding the true reason to watch anime and think that they are ignorant

...

Why don't you post a thread about how anime is "misogynistic" and "problematic"? Seems right up your alley.

Kill yourself, nigger.

Check my 5.

Check these Hyoukaloids

Truth bomb right here

Lmao didn't read
Dubs

...

Damn. Seems not even lord kek does not bless this thread.
Post lewds to quell his anger.

>should hold ALL anime to a low standard because its 99% shit,
But it's true
You should try to discuss something better, like manga or VNs

>because it makes them feel like they fit in and are accepted, which has never happened to them in real life
Isn't this exactly the reason why people from Reddit can't stop taking themselves seriously?

...

You forgot
>people who treat children's cartoons like some form of misunderstood high art and impose their retarded analysis on everybody within an earshot

>which has never happened to them in real life before which is what makes them desperate to do it here.
Sup Forums is not filled with those kind of people nowadays though.

Dem trips

>instant karma

FUCKKEN CHECKED M8

wew lewd trip

...

And here I thought that the common meme is that redditors actually don't take Sup Forums seriously and only come here to shitpost.

...

What are some reliable ways to achieve dubs?

>VNs
>better
They're just CYOA novels with less choices, more words, and the occasional porn scene.

Only good ones are those that have a linear plot.

Sup Forums is not for serious discussion. Better try your luck against one of those ah-nee-may youtubers or animesuki. You're welcome.

>all these Sup Forums and Sup Forums tier post itt
Embarassing.

Check' em

I used to go on reddit a lot but got sick of the hivemind mob rule safe space shit years ago, /r/anime is homosex

this t b h

logical fallacy

I hate SJWs though

Thank you for affirming my beliefs

Post lewds.

Go to reddit

Your highly intelligent and well-thought opinion will be upvoted to death and give you the dopamine rush that you needed.

Well adjusted people don't frequent a Filipino tsunami surfing forum or watch anime at all. We're all you got to discuss this shit.

What do you consider a deep discussion? Squealer was right? Character X in Code Gayass was/wasn't justified? Of course we're going to talk about who's the sexiest and why something is bad.

>wants quality discussion
>types like a fucking Sup Forumstard

Kill yourself.

I was talking about people ON Reddit, not Redditors themselves. OP seems like a Redditor because they probably only come here for their "Mature Indonesian Cave Drawings" like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders and Berserk (2016). Maybe SnK?

I think the main point is that this board is not for OP, and probably not for you either. You shouldn't be here. There is good discussion that happens when people aren't being butthurt little children like you are right now.

(You)s fulfill the same function though.

Chec... ugh.. yawn.

>Only good ones are those that have a linear plot.
Well there's plenty of those, but dumb EOPs will never EVER read them and will only get the poorly translated garbage like Tsukihime of Fate

...

>this t b h
see

>tfw when no dubs

I don't see how anyone can look at (much less take part in) a thread like this and still somehow cling to the delusion that reddit is the boogeyman site we're better than in any way.

Sup Forums used to be a decent board but now it's overrun with the exact same kind of idiots as Sup Forums, Sup Forums, Sup Forums such.

...

...

This, basically. Also don't forget the b8 pics as the downvotes.

Thank you for the (You).

CHECKED!

It is hard to discuss anime because there is often little depth of subtlety. I decided to rewatch F/Z because I remember enjoying it, but I have no idea how I slogged through it. Every little detail is explained three times. Everything that happens is explained. There is no subtlety at all. Nothing can happen without a character talking for five/ten seconds about what just happened.

Funposting=lewdposting>banter>self aware unironic shitposting>sincere posting>shitposting>unironic shitposting>self aware ironic shitposting
The only people worse than reddit tier (unironic shitposting) are the people that want to see the site die by pretending to be reddit

Verified : big guy.
Let's not forget HxH which vomits exposition.

>all these people spamming with Sup Forums tier shitposting the thread because they don't like OP's opinion
And here people believe Sup Forums isn't reddit

Wtf I hate Sup Forums now

On the contrary, this thread is proof of Sup Forums's superiority, because some retarded faggot's complaints are getting spammed to death, instead of them taking root and finding supporters until a mod shows up to boot him.

What I find funny is how Sup Forums is the most elitist board on Sup Forums, yet the content is about cartoons of 13 year old schoolgirls doing nothing aimed at 30+ year old men.

Still, I enjoy the shitposting.

The problem is that the bait pics tend to come from one dedicated assburger trying very hard.

...

>thinken reverse psychology works here
Wew, lad.
Checked

Not anime or manga, kill yourself.

>we're better than in any way.
This is the Reddit mindset. You think you're better than other people because you have more mature taste in anime. You're the same as the Big 3/Super posting faggots, the faggots who like Generals, and the SJWs complaining about cute girls in anime.

Nice.

...

This thread has nothing to do with anime though.
