I remember when Internet anime communities were almost all fan sites, and it was a better time for it.

once something reaches mainstream popularity you can discard it. everything that gets soiled by the major populous becomes trash.

The eternal Jew comes for us all.

e-begging is new?
e-begging on "fan sites" is unheard of?
it's christmas, silly, not opposite-day!

I hate the eternal jew.

When you're living off your parents money you can do things "from fans for fans" but if you make it your job then you have to get money from it.
Not like I support that site but it's not hard to understand why they do it.

>We need your help. Good journalism costs money, and advertising doesn't bring in what it used to.

>the internet is in trouble! please donate 5% your monthly income so big business dont take away your neutrality!

fpbp
there's a diagram for it, something something destruction of a hobby

>Good journalism costs money
Then shouldn't ANN cost nothing to run?

This.

Reminder that Netflix is giving Yuasa a job.

>I remember when Internet anime communities were mostly the most embarrasing, cringiest sites on the internet but it didn't matter because we were all fucking "otaku"

REMEMBER: SAVE OUR SAILORS
DIC SUCKS DICKS

ANN actually does a decent job. If you ignore all the stupid opinion pieces, all they really do is aggregate news fragments from moon twitter/events/announcements and compile them into organized little laconic snippet article, sorted by franchise. That's pretty much all an entertainment news outlet should do.

>ANN
>good journalism
PFFFFF

Wow, how cool, edgy and thought-provoking. You really hit on an amazing insight with that one! No wonder you got all those cool redditors upvoting your post.

If they ignored stupid opinion pieces and only did real news they probably wouldn't be running out of fucking money

Nobody's perfect.

fuck off normalfag

>one of them actually mentions Infini-T
Colour me surprised.

he's right you know.

...

Imagine being this upset.

Oh damn, you got me! Right at my weak-spot! You've exposed me for the dangerous "outsider" I am, and in the process strengthened your own position by reaffirming your "insider" status. I tip my hat to you, good sir. I am simply no match for your rhetorical prowess!

Telling me when a new anime gets announced isn't worth any money.

That is a long winded way of saying that you have shit taste

Probably need to cover when they get hacked/domain gets robbed again.

Also this, 99% of the time Sup Forums has the news up before ANN.

You haven't met me yet

Literally late 90s to early 00s I NEVER saw begging for money on the Internet, because it was people's hobby, not something they tried to make money off of

It's the opposite. Click bait is called that for a reason - because it gets clicks. Hard news doesn't sell.

>denying the antecedent

The Internet was better when it was small. Back then there were like multiple communities, each with their own culture and userbase so everyone sorta has this sense of, eh how do i say it? "belonging"? "protective"?

Anyway, nowadays the Internet is way too big and easy to access, there are like 3 or 4 big sites sucking the soul out of everyone else and it is only gonna be shittier after the lost of Net Neutrality

Blame neoliberalism.

>no more geocities
>no more angelfire
>no more tripod
>no more anipike
>no more smorgasbord of ad riddled H hosting sites

Okay, maybe not the last one.

Yeah maybe if they eliminated the costs of that supremely cringy """"manga"""" series and all those stupidly unqualified reviewers they'd have money for just organizing actual news, which 50% are just about the personal life of VAs anyway.
Quality journalism

Then why are you spending fucking Christmas on Sup Forums? If you were the ultrabitch you take yourself for you'd have something to do, with someone.

It's just a Christmas spending drive targeted towards their main users.
ANN does enough money.

This thread can be deleted. It would only be newsworthy if ANN was on the verge of closing down.

You're not enjoying the object of your pleasure, but the status that comes with it. Fuck off, some of the best anime is known nationwide through generations in some places.

>spending time with lowly human beans
See? You're an imperfect being, thus you still think that way. You'll understand one day.

They should just open a patreon and get people to toss a few bucks a month

No one was using adblock. These sites had ads out of the ass back in the day.

>Only used ANN as a database when I wanted to know about some director or studio and the works they were involved in.
>Now I will sooner find more complete information on MAL of all things instead of ANN
Talk about a site that has outlived it usefulness.

>discard vidya
>discard anime
>discard manga

What else is there then?

eroge

But that's it, right?
You crave closeness and attention, but you have no way of getting them. I understand your life must be a special kind of hell.

Their method of data arrangement is retarded and outdated too (just dump hiperlinks!). Anidb, with all its database flaws, is the way to go.

The internet was never meant to have ads, it's fucking shit because of it. Thank Amazon and ebay for commercializing the web and turning everything into a spam distribution network.

AniDB is better than ANN or MAL for database stuff.

I want an entire season of nothing but loli-core and ecchi shows so that these faggots can fuck off the fandom

The internet being full of ads has been a thing forever. At least by 1995.

>ann shilling houseki no shit
How to know something is shit

Nothing.
There is nothing left. Innovation has died, so new and niche things are nowhere to be seen.

But what if it's just ads with no content, and no way to engage in meaningful conversation?

G O O D J O U R N A L I S M

>You crave closeness and attention
Don't project yourself.
I was like you, but I've already gone through that phase. One day -if you don't kill yourself, that is- you'll understand what I'm saying. And you might not get to meet anyone who's perfect, but you'll reach perfection too, keep it up.

Just because japanese animation recently got more mainstream western attention from 20 something year olds, anime is dead! Waaaa!

They're paying people to write that garbage. I'd be surprised if those specific articles actually turn a profit.

ANN is top tier comedy site. I am reading their season`s previews every time. The amount of incompetence and faggotry of their "writers" and "journalists" is so great, they should be tasked with Mars Flight program and be sent there as first astronauts, on the rocket them themselves built.

Not anime.
Fuck off.

>mfw their Lupin articles

You can't convince me you chose to be alone on Christmas. That it's supposed to be something that invokes envy and pride.
Reading your post is like hearing a homeless person talk about personal freedom. You want to feel empathy, but the only thing that comes out is mild disgust.

>It would only be newsworthy if ANN was on the verge of closing down.
Do you know their budget?

>These sites had ads out of the ass back in the day.
Not the ones I went to. A little bar on the top for the most part. The porn sites would sometimes have a pop up little bar! WOW EGREGIOUS!

MAL probably gets most of its info from ANN

Basket weaving I guess.

>Anime sites
>Not anime

>You can't convince me you chose to be alone on Christmas

Not that guy but you are fucked in the head if you think you are required to go out / have other people's company like some sorta society approval stamp, In that case go to fucking /r9k/ you fucking pathetic normalfag fuck

Not him but: Humans are a social species. Humans who choose to be alone are mentally ill.

t. a human who chooses to be alone.

>good journalism

So? Do you think you are on reddit or what?

Fuck you insecure fucks and your pathetic whining ass, kill yourselves

What does leddit have to do with mental illness or animu?

Yes, meta posting is not anime.
Lurk more.

>Humans who choose to be alone are mentally ill
If you think you're mentally ill just because you reject to associate with other people, then so be it. But you you can go fuck yourself along with your "humans are a social species"
You can be isolated but at the same time not feel lonely. If people's life span could get reduced due to loneliness it's because they're so attached to other people that loneliness effectively start to slowly killing them.

The real joke is neither of them just chose to be alone one day. It was a slow, painstaking process of driving away all past friends and acquaintances, cutting all ties with family members, and changing all of one's habits to reduce or remove unavoidable contact.

As with anything, we're simplifying the complexity. But it is a series of choices over a long time.

>But you you can go fuck yourself along with your "humans are a social species"
This is taken as fact by scientists. If humans were an asocial species, we would behave more like snakes. And, well, human society as we know it wouldn't really exist.

So suddenly, having an average, healthy social life makes me pathetic and insecure?
I can see the Sup Forums-logic behind this, but you're still crazy as balls.

And we all know scientists are always right.

take your own advice and stop using Sup Forums

>Have average healthy social life
>Be on Sup Forums on Christmas
>Whine about not having average healthy social life
>Try to blogpost and drag other people into it with you
>Not pathetic and insecure

my little user cant be this retarded

And who are everyone to say that a person who chose (slowly or otherwise, doesn't matter) to be alone is sick? You can live alone, don't talk to anyone but for necessary stuff (working, shopping, etc) and still be a pretty functional being

They are right when they say what I want them to say since I paid them to say what I want them to say.
They are wrong if they're being paid by my opponents who pay them to say that my opponents are right.

Not following the herd means you're dysfunctional.

You just upgraded yourself from someone who merely has social anxiety to someone who has a completely unique take on reality.

>Base your whole self worth on other people for some reason
>Try to preach about having social life on 4chun

k

The titles are what earns money (read: baits clicks). The content of the article is just filler made to justify the title.

They wouldn't do that. They only deliver good journalism with quality content.

>Yeah maybe if they eliminated the costs of that supremely cringy """"manga"""" series
???

I think he's referring to that webcomic with some characters named Vice and Luna that ANN hosts.

>the absolute state of news media today

Anime girl is plotting the end of us all

What should one's self worth be based on?

not even sure if this is bait, just get the fuck outta here

...

Well, Sup Forums is basically a eternal recurrence of shitposting so we have been in his hadns since forever

Tokusatsu

>Toku
>not mainstream
Maybe in the west

Normalfag shit nowadays.

It's never about if it's mainstream or not, but whether they FEEL it's mainstream.

The onyl thing I remember were thousands of fanfics of Ranma meets Sailor Moon

Why you think you come to Sup Forums, user? It's your replacement. If you were truly mentally ill you wouldn't come to this place or any place of discussion or social media at all along with no contact in real life. A real hermit with possibly no understanding of theory of mind.
