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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
Colton Powell
(You)s fulfill the same function though.

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.

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.

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.
Liam Flores
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.

>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.
