BACK IN BLACK TIME TO DUST YOURSELF OFF

Japanese flu is no joke.

...

I wonder how many anons died last year.

Not enough.

Not the whole website, but Sup Forums certainly is.

Sup Forums is far fucking better than most other boards

that's actually pretty fucking sad

Sad but true

...

Some boards are still healthy. /m/ and /lit/ for example. Their board subjects filter casuals inherently.

>Their board subjects filter casuals inherently
Sup Forums used to like this as well, now you hear people talking about anime being mainstream or something. I wouldn't know, I'm not American and I don't know a single person watching anime other than me.

All those poor bastards that will never know that Guts & Co finally got off the boat.

pic not related

I remember this.
This was just to sad.

/lit/ is 60 percent youtuber generals these days

I think anime will always be niche, normalfags will never get used to cartoons, especially not Japanese ones. They need their real people, celebrities and mainstream approved series, they don't like watching something "alone":
Anime styled games and CR gave the anime hype some bump but it's still far from anything mainstream. Also, kids often hate anime because it isn't as edgy as their shooter games or capeshit movies and older fags often lose interest in anime at some point.

I used to think the same way about videogames, and look what happened. A lot of them are still niche and some will, thank god, stay forever. The celebrities and real people part comes from youtube shitters. There's plenty of edge going around as well. I hope you're right

Sup Forums is elitist as fuck. /ck/ is the best board imo. Outside jack threads and fast food threads, you get some quality threads about cooking. Most anons will help you out too.

Not sure, I tried /lit/ for a few weeks years ago and it was fucking cancer. They had their ~10 classics and maybe two or three newer, hivemind approved books and fucking everything else was considered as shit and the threads were always instantly filled with haters.
It was just a big circlejerk of people wanking to same few works of literature they consider to be elitary enough for them.

Japanese Cold is serious business.

Sup Forums needs to be elitist. Anime as a medium attracts a lot of dumb fucking people that need to either conform to the board culture, or be driven out. We can't afford to help people out because we'd be flooded with stupid people begging to be spoonfed. As bad as Sup Forums can be, its elitism is what has prevented it from becoming anything close to the cesspools of other anime forums.

You can't really apply the same standards between boards in all cases. /ck/ is a more niche board and the people who are requesting help are usually actually looking to learn from it. Other slow boards may also be more willing to help and spoonfeed because they're so small that they could actually benefit from getting more regular posters.

American normalfags are still into celebrity worship.

Maybe that will change, though, when they see how dirty Hollywood is.

Imagine movie theathers just playing anime movies only since Hollywood became bankrupt.

So just like in Japan, we have the yearly Detective Conan Movie, the yearly PreCure Movie, the yearly One Piece movie, etc

>/ck/
>frogs are frequent
>fags get trigger everytime "Why is X country food is bad?" thread shows up.
Sup Forums might have clease up the normalfags, but right it is facing a different problem with Template threa fags. The rule nazis isnt really helping either. The only helpful board are /ic/ and /tg/

RIP, Shounen.

cleaned* right now*
for the sake of thread, anyone know if World Trigger Mangaka's dead?

Role in a show so bad it killed her.

I think one of the problems is that "normal" people just can't be attracted to drawn characters for example. It never made any sense to me but there is probably the same reasoning behind it as with the problem of not being able to take anything seriously when drawn.

I am pretty sure these are all related to habits though. Especially when you consider that more than half of the shit they see in their live action movies isn't real either. Blockbusters are fucking filled with CGI from head to toe.

>Imagine movie theathers just playing anime movies only since Hollywood became bankrupt.
>hollywood died
>American adapt to Japanese flick drama with cheap acting skill.
>cinematic value is down, but fun and witticism increase.
feels weird but interested with US culture adopting Asian mannerism.

I have been here since 2004 and nowdays it REALLY feels like we are very few people left, but since you can't tell on an anonymous imageboard, you cant form real memories of the people you got along with.

everyone boasts about how being an user is this site's greatest feature but after decades pass, you don't have real friends to remember about the past, it kind of sad

How about you relax.

/m/ and /tg/ are still good

>Sup Forums is elitist as fuck
I wish and you clearly don't know anything

>Sup Forums is elitist as fuck
Not a bad thing, if you don't like to feel free to go to MAL or leddit.

Well said, but good luck teaching retards that. It doesn't matter how well-reasoned your arguments are, newfags will always find some reason to rationalize acting like entitled babies that want the board to bow to their whims. These kind of posts always fall upon deaf ears.

literally who

>everyone boasts about how being an user is this site's greatest feature but after decades pass, you don't have real friends to remember about the past, it kind of sad
I feel ya and I really like the anonymity to the point I've yet to find another place like it with the same traffic Your post reminds me of some cap with some user who spent his teens forming memories with total strangers and he was still alone.

>elitism is somehow bad
I wish retards that post this were public banned.

You say that like I would have more of them if I didn't post here.

On the flipside I'd probably not have gotten so attached to Sup Forums if it wasn't for the kind of discussion you used to be able to have here because of the anonymous posting.

After hanging out on Sup Forums I can appreciate Sup Forums a lot more. There is nothing worse than people willingly spoonfeeding and every thread turning into Sup Forums babies that cry about every fucking thing. Sup Forums's harsh attitude keeps the board in line.

Sup Forums cancer is even more annoying than when r9k got deleted and spread everywhere.

/ck/ used to be a pretty good board and is still helpful sometimes but has become rampant with shitposting and for some reason i find their autism over food more annoying and pathetic than Sup Forums's autism over japanese cartoon porn.

...

It also feels to me like Sup Forums is slower. It's probably just some subjective feeling and maybe I am always in the wrong threads or maybe we just get way more semi-watchable and watchable anime nowadays, resulting in a better dispersion of the Sup Forums crowd through different threads. But whatever threads I visit seem to be way slower than 6+ years ago with the exception of some very few threads of series with an episode that just aired.
As said, maybe I am just imagining things.

The data contradicts what you say, so yeah, probably.

Jesus fuck, that actually gets to me, not so much for the OS itself but the era it reminds me of, msn messenger instead of facebook etc.

Why would you post this here? I still haven't gotten over it.

>literally all he had to do was delete Sup Forums and Sup Forums
>instead he gets ostracized from his own website and joins Google who will endlessly bully him because he's a white man

Thanks for the four identical shitpost boards you fucking idiot.

>Sup Forums
>elitist
It would be if it weren't for faggots like yourself.

You can notice this the most when anons have some sponaneous meta discussions in threads and only mention newer anime when trying make a point or talk about a specific genre or sub-genre of anime while brining up examples for these.

The way of talking is revealing too. The funniest thing is that the anons who use newspeak like "normie" the most are usually those that want to play the oldfag Sup Forums police. They don't even know how to do that right.

>tfw Kizanaver were their last thing they did
Aw.
Stop reminding me please, it hurts

youtu.be/EIVgSuuUTwQ

Why is shit like this always so fucking sad?
These comics are always hitting me harder than any tragedy in series other people tend to cry about.

I loved kiznaiver so it makes it all the grander of an exit.

LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME!

WHILE I'M BLEEEEEEEDING DRY

I heard the other day that Accelspammer killed himself. Naturally I couldn't find any proof, but still it kinda hurts to think about.

I don't see any of the OG tripfags or namefags much anymore either now that I think about it. A part of me likes to believe all the attentionwhoring they did directed all the hostility towards them and not other anons, thus making discussions better since all the shitlord anons would immediately flock to them and let the rest of us be civil. But that's just my opinion.

That user that died waiting for Haruhi S3.

Cause times a changing and we didnt realized until they were gone.

How was Sup Forums like in 2004?

>tfw you will always be a 2010 newfag

/lit/ is now filled with Sup Forums fucktards who don't read and 90% eceleb threads and shill/bait threads from those Sup Forumstards

That dead-internet comic also made me sad because the old guy was actually trying to connect again despite knowing for sure it doesn't exist anymore. It's so fucking stupid if you think about it but it's exactly what I would and I already did similar things in the past, like not deleting phone numbers or chat accounts of dead friends, just in case that they'll sometime respond again even though I know it wouldn't ever happen and that they're just dead.
I think this main character that know for sure he lost something but still act as if he didn't is one of the saddest things possible. It reminds me of that short anime House of Petit Cubes which has a similar theme with the glass of wine at the end.

that guy who got to know what Once Piece was before he died

Grumpy-Jiisan
You know it's true by now
;_;

They're better off, those of us who still live or care still won't get any closure as Miura will die of old age before he releases another 10 chapters

>2004

I don't think there was a more recent poll but the latest from a few years ago showed that most people browsing (as of the date of the poll) came from 2012 or so. You're one of very few left, at least on Sup Forums.

I would rather have Sup Forums be killed than have it become something so far from what it should be.

I was some avid Berserk fan around 10 or more years ago but I stopped feeling anything years ago. I have no hope of it ever getting finished and I fear I don't even care anymore. I casually might read new chapters every one or two years (which barely amounts to maybe 10 chapters at best) for the sake of completeness but that's it.
I wish he'd just throw the towel and do a new series he actually cares about, same with that Bastard guy.

Not him but that's really crazy somehow because I already consider 2011ers newfags. I mean that was the year of Madoka and shit, I can't consider this series as anything old even when I try.
I somehow started to view 2007 fags as the generic Sup Forums crowd and somehow this never stopped but it's obviously wrong.

2011 was the last great year we had. It was before the newfags started coming here in droves. Sup Forums was still Sup Forums.

Yeah, most people joined when the internet became really mainstream, even the web 2.0 of 2007 was pretty void and chill if you compare it with nowaday's internet. I kinda miss it, all that real life-, celebrity- and politics shit the modern internet is flooded with annoys me to no end.

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
YOOOOOOOOOOUR
HAAAAAAAAANDS

My self respect. Tomoko has friends now and I'm still here.

It's already showing signs of change, albeit the changes may be temporary, either at the whim of the mods or Hiro depending on how much people harass either. I won't claim that SakuraFish, Koume, etc. are definitive signs that this place has changed too much from what people expect or come here for but they're still significant.

That poll is dated by this point. That's not taking into consideration that many users may as well have lied about when they started browsing, regardless of the fact that it was an anonymous poll. A more recent poll would be useful, though it would be equally as depressing to look at.

>Red Line
Dammit I totally forgot about that. What happened with the director? He never did or announced anything else after that did he?
It's the same with Koichi Mashimo. Most people find his series boring but I always considered the Bee Train originals and the adaption of Phantom as something special. He and his studio just disappeared it seems. There was never any announcement of disbanding or official retirement or anything.

This is so sad. Fuck this world.

does Goro still fuck anons' waifus to this day?

>everyone boasts about how being an user is this site's greatest feature but after decades pass, you don't have real friends to remember about the past, it kind of sad
Don't worry, user. By this time you'll become total strangers with your 2004 internet friends and would still be alone by now. At least that's what happened with my crowd I was exchanging posts on anime forums with.

He was Animation director for the 'Woman Called Fujiko Mine' Lupin series and he did 2 spin off movies for that series one for Jigen and one for Goemon. The actual series about Fujiko is fucking fantastic. It has this awesome aesthetic that from the moment the OP starts you know its gonna be different.

I never had any friends anyways so I wouldn't have made memories either way.

This is strangely what I just wanted to say as well. I am not one of these edge fags saying RL friendships are stupid, but honestly the only real friendships I had was when I was younger than 24. After that I slowly lost the last of them and despite actually having more people to hang out with today there isn't anyone I would call a friend anymore. Everything is shallow now. It comes with adulthood I guess. You can't just search for treasures as you did when you were a kid or play tricks on people and invade fenced off areas like a teenager anymore.

Being 23+ is bayically realizing that everything fun is either making you looking stupid as fuck, or it is useless or forbidden.

Don't say that shit, man. I'm only 22 and have been through enough bullshit without any of the fun stuff. The only shit that keeps me from offing myself is weed, anime and having a VN project I've been trying to make since I was fucking 16.

I started lurking here in 2014. I haven't posted until now, because now I'm actually old enough to. All I want to say is the only thing I've ever wanted from this website is what you guys had. I will always regret never knowing it, and the only reason I keep coming back here is in hopes of experiencing something like it. I think a lot of people my age, or close to my age, feel the same way; I think that's why you get so many anons pretending to be oldfags and policing boards when they're very clearly new. I hope for a better future here, and I have no idea how that might happen.

>Sup Forums is elitist
How is this a bad thing also if you think the Sup Forums of today is elitist then you really should go back to your safe space.

He did a kemono friends one not too long ago.

Well I was only talking about social interactions. Creative projects and anime are another thing. If it helps: I still love chinese cartoons as much as I did when I was 16 or something and the lack of RL stuff I have to do kinda helped me continuing/remaking my old projects again which I had I mind since I was 18 or something like that. See it that way: now you are most likely a way better writer and story creator than 6 years ago so use your knowledge wisely and do your VN project. Creative stuff is what keeps me alive because it is something only I myself can do and I can do with it whatever I want.

Take it from me, you'll never know what you have until it's gone. I started coming here in 09 when I was fucking 14 and never left. There's still shit to see, but after so long it stops be as entertaining. Enjoy it while it's fresh to you, jump in and have a bit of fun with people.

On the contrary, I'm a garbage writer but at least I know how to poop something out now. Drawing, on the other hand, is the one thing I can do now to keep those dreams alive even if I've only just started. I'd rather keep setting impossible goals over being complacent or giving up. Fuck everybody else, rely on yourself. I look forward to whatever you produce one day, brother, even if I don't know its you.

Sorry for the blogposting.

I think you'd be surprised. I started browsing Sup Forums in 2006 and would be on it just about every day, then I got older and had to do things like work and subsequently prioritize my free time. I'd visit different boards maybe once a week or go gaps of a year without even visiting the site as a whole. I think if you browse regularly at any point, you always drop back in when the itch hits you and life permits.

Once you're here you can never really leave, you just take breaks of varying length.

I hadn't thought about it like that. There is a certain innocence that is felt in old screencaps and stories told by anons that I think reminds people of their childhood, which they want to relieve and experience again. It makes it seem like everyone here was a close group of friends that just goofed off and did dumb shit together all the time, instead of being random strangers separated across the world. That's why they act the way you said, to try and get those childhood feelings again. Can't say I blame them, I hate being an adult and wish I could go back to my childhood.

Thanks Sup Forums, I didn't want to feel like shit tonight but now I'm gonna sulk for the rest of the night.

Such is the nature of popularity. Eventually the lowest common denominator comes in and tries to assert their own shitty inexperienced views on the rest of the culture.

>Sup Forums is elitist as fuck
I remember when Naruto threads were not allowed and were told to go back to gaia. Old Sup Forums was elitist. Now is no different than your average MAL/spic forum.

>I remember when Naruto threads were not allowed and were told to go back to gaia.
It all changed that day. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. Even though it lasted almost a week you fucking faggot moot.

>go back to gaia
I haven't seen that phrase in a very long time.

>2013 was 4 years ago
Holy shit

Nice trips, but the politics on every single board and rampant derailing political shitposters make this not even fresh and enjoyable. It makes it polarizing and infuriating. Not even over trivial fun things, but over something that is bleeding into every facet of our lives and absolutely no one enjoys.

>Madoka was 6 years ago, TTGL fucking 10
Everything feels weird now

That was actually more than 4 years ago.

This. But everything going on with Sup Forums right now just makes me hate the mods more and more. Banning Sakura Fish, Sad Panda, r/a/dio who now run 8gag's Sup Forums board , trying to erase our board culture, its just depressing. If we just had better mods we wouldn't be in this mess.

Deleting Sup Forums wouldn't fix anything. Sup Forums harbour had the opposite effect of what moot probably wanted. moot just made so many bad decisions as the years went on. and to sell us out to a greedy Japanese man who doesn't even acknowledge our existence just twists the knife even deeper
