Anime is nothing more than glorified porn aimed to teens between 14 and 18 with some crappy predictable plot attached to it the reason being because it's mostly adaptations of shounen mangas and light novels aimed to a young audience but for some reason there are tons of self-declared "anime fans" who always complain about fanservice and "sexism" and come out with statements along the lines of "it's an insult to my intelligence", "It's distracting", "It makes the show less serious" and "I'm not a horny teen". I find that to be hylarious, they all watch (or maybe FORCE THEMSELVES) to watch a medium which 99% of it contains sexual jokes and erotic stuff and yet they always pretend it to be something more intellectual and deep.

So, the real question is, why do these people watch an immature medium if all they do is complaining about it being "immature" 24/7? Can't they just move on to another hobby?

Moe.

>>So, the real question is, why do these people watch an immature medium if all they do is complaining about it being "immature" 24/7? Can't they just move on to another hobby?
It's the trendy thing to do, now. Same thing happened with video games and comics.

But don't forget to post another high-larious smug anime girl meme on Twitter! LOL!

Bazinga!

watch eva then ruminate on what you just said

In a sense you, user, are an animated porn.

>complaining about the people complaining instead of addressing the point
I'm sure you can find the 'thou shalt not commit logical fallacies' image somewhere on your hard drive

Just because the medium is filled with immature garbage doesn't mean it has to be. Anime has made gigantic marks in the history of animation and pop culture with some amazing works, despite immature garbage outnumbering those things 10:1 in every decade. People who don't follow seasonal anime tend to want more of those things and lash out at the bad stuff, mainly because they don't understand that it's unfortunately what drives the market. It's not currently the norm for a company like Netflix to fund the high quality stuff, we're all riding on the shoulders of perverted japanese shut-ins with a lot of neetbux. The complaints about immature sexual content aren't always "sjws" trying to ruin your hobby, sometimes it's people merely looking for some substance and they'd be perfectly fine with the sexual content otherwise (most "classic" shows do get pretty sexual and no one complains).

Also, don't be that weeb that watches anime "because it's trash lol what do u expect lmao", have some self respect.

>Please remove sexualization, i'm the minority of people who watches late night anime shows even tho i'm not part of its intended audience

>Also, don't be that weeb that watches anime "because it's trash lol what do u expect lmao"

Fanservice is way older than those type of people, and i fucking hate them

>The complaints about immature sexual content aren't always "sjws" trying to ruin your hobby, sometimes it's people merely looking for some substance and they'd be perfectly fine with the sexual content otherwise (most "classic" shows do get pretty sexual and no one complains).
Then why not look to another medium instead of changing one that has been servicing the needs of an established audience for decades? Why not realize that not everything has to be aimed at an American mainstream audience, and that sometimes something that's unique and strange or weird is also worthwhile?

People are upset with "SJWs" because they're fundamentally changing what Japanese culture has been about for, like, 70 years just to sate their own selfish desires. What if you liked what anime was before?

Just because something isn't immature garbage doesn't mean it's "aimed at an American mainstream audience". Do you think people watch anime for normal stuff? Even your most normal normalfag will try to get into the medium because it comes from an unique culture. Seeing art through the eyes of such an unique culture is interesting as fuck, and this is why people want to see the real substance. That doesn't mean a show has to be deep and intellectual, just provide something other than, as you put it "glorified porn aimed to teens". Yes, people trying to SANITIZE Japanese culture are retarded, but I think you'll agree that Japanese culture doesn't boil down to glorified porn aimed at teens.

I guess one could argue that trying to change the current state of anime is pointless, because considering the costs, returns and the absolutely awful working conditions it's unlikely to change any time soon, but there's nothing wrong with looking for some quality entertainment.

Answer me: why do you watch anime? It's all shit.

Nox i'm being an ironic self-deprecating faggot, i barely watch anime nowadays for that reason, tell what's the appeal of anime for people like you who get triggered by boobs.

There's a reason why "FANservice" is called like that. Because it's a service to the FANS, the people who like anime, the intended audience.

*no i'm not being

>I think you'll agree that Japanese culture doesn't boil down to glorified porn aimed at teens.
I don't think Japanese culture "boils down" to any one particular thing. Like every culture, there are many facets that form the whole. And "glorified porn aimed at teens" is one of those facets, just like it is in basically every other culture on the planet. Again, if you don't like the shows, why can't you just accept that you're not the target audience, respect the people who are, and do something else with your time? There are lots of anime you could be watching instead. Or you could, I dunno, read a book.

>I guess one could argue that trying to change the current state of anime is pointless
I'd actually argue the exact opposite, as that's exactly what an ever-growing foreign (specifically American) audience and Netflix funding is doing. I personally don't like it, but it's what's going on.

>but I think you'll agree that Japanese culture doesn't boil down to glorified porn aimed at teens.

But we are specifically talking about japanese cartoons, which are not a direct representation of Japan and its culture.

>Even your most normal normalfag will try to get into the medium because it comes from an unique culture.

No, if you actually bothered asking, most of them would reply stuff like "because it's cool shit, goku doing the kamehameha or luffy doing the gom gom punch" the rest will answer "because of the hot waifus".

>Seeing art through the eyes of such an unique culture is interesting as fuck, and this is why people want to see the real substance.

Every person who is not stupid would go read japanese literature instead, to learn about the culture. Not cartoons.

>Every person who is not stupid would go read japanese literature instead, to learn about the culture. Not cartoons.
cartoons and books aren't mutually exclusive.

>taste elitism: the thread
How shameless can you people get? You people frame what you don’t like to be something that's inherently bad and hurting the industry. These taste politics in anime community is so fucking retarded and pointless.

>for people like you who get triggered by boobs
I don't, I love boobs and I have no problem with fanservice. We can all use some of it. Boobs aren't the only thing I like though, I'm sure even you have some different interests.

>Again, if you don't like the shows, why can't you just accept that you're not the target audience, respect the people who are, and do something else with your time? There are lots of anime you could be watching instead.
People who don't follow seasonal anime don't have the time or inclination to watch 3 episodes of everything every 4 months to manually filter the like 1 or 2 gems every other season. They look for the good stuff, find nothing and complain. Maybe they should move on and do something else, but I'm not sure why some random person's complaints affect you in particular.

>But we are specifically talking about japanese cartoons, which are not a direct representation of Japan and its culture.
Anime is invariably colored by Japanese culture and their view of other cultures, animation isn't created in a magic bubble. Art is art.
>No, if you actually bothered asking, most of them would reply stuff like "because it's cool shit, goku doing the kamehameha or luffy doing the gom gom punch" the rest will answer "because of the hot waifus".
Maybe you just don't know enough people, I see normalfags talking about anime every day. Watching people at work discussing Shokugeki no Soma was amusing as fuck.
>Every person who is not stupid would go read japanese literature instead, to learn about the culture.
You can do many things at the same time. Often one thing leads to another.

>Anime is nothing more than glorified porn aimed to teens between 14 and 18

And the problem is ...?

>People who don't follow seasonal anime don't have the time or inclination to watch 3 episodes of everything every 4 months to manually filter the like 1 or 2 gems every other season. They look for the good stuff, find nothing and complain.
That's nonsense, and if it isn't then those people shouldn't be watching anime in the first place, because they don't have the time to.

I myself don't watch seasonal anime, and I know that, if I wanted to watch a show that would suit my particular tastes, there are plenty of places on the Internet for me to find one that has been made over the past 60 years. Other people's laziness isn't a good enough reason to justify a fundamental change in an established industry or culture.

Yeah we got it, all these famous japanese culture critics who are trying to comment on Japan from anime by seeing it as manifesting symptoms of the actual japan are fucking retarded and some anonymous dude on basket weaving site is right as always
You guys don't even know how most of the Japanese literature screams ANIME. You could literally see haruhi influence even in mainstream literature.

If there was ever a thread that exemplified lack of self awareness it’s this one

>aimed to teens between 14 and 18
How the fuck are they going to rake up money from BD sales, seiyuu events, merchandise and other stuff when they aim for demographic who don't even work to earn money. No matter how you look this doesn't add up.

>IPhone filenames

Yeah, but saying that cartoons where people grope each is not the same as books about the history of the country.

>Anime
>Art

yeah, mass produced shit that looks all the same surely is art

>Maybe you just don't know enough people, I see normalfags talking about anime every day. Watching people at work discussing Shokugeki no Soma was amusing as fuck.

And did you ask them why they like that show?

The problem are people who don't like that

Yeah, just call everything bait when you don't like it

Otakus

>Ironic weeb

Your post screams of normalfaggotry out of place

>I don't know what's an ironic weeb so i call everyone who disagrees with me like that, look at me fellow Sup Forums guys do i fit in yet

Yet videogames and comics are the ultimate normie-tier now. So anime is next then?

Unfortunately OP's brain is too tiny to understand Eva.

Where do otakus get money if they are aged between14 to 18? Are otakus like cutting edge rich kids in the town? You mean they are aimed at teenagers but otakus come to rescue buying all this stuff to keep the industry afloat?

>EVA is deep

Go back to r*ddit with your entry level bullshit

>Go back to r*ddit
>using reddit spacing

The anime industry rakes in $4 billion a year. 14-18 year olds have no jobs or money usually you brainlet. The shows are aimed at horny mid 20s-late 30s men and women. The fact that anime is visually appealing makes young kids get into it as well. But they're not paying the bills for the medium.

Just completed noucome which is fucking hilarious. Trying to find another anime to fill the void of noucome. Ecchi comedy is really good

Wow this place is too easy
