Video games are starting to influence our culture more and more. We've seen successful movie adaptations, record-breaking charity events like AGDQ, and now even small indie games being referenced in anime.
How much further can the medium go? Will games one day be accepted as a serious art form?
>undertale >small indie game ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol
Jacob Carter
... it isn't? This literally never happened before. No other western indie game has been referenced in an anime
Nicholas Ward
should have left out that 'small', because undertale was anything but that
Christian Jenkins
There must be a Minecraft reference somewhere.
Nathan Morris
Oh wow self referential anime that nobody is watching referenced a game that got some following in japan What a shock
Isaiah Edwards
>nobody is watching
Blake Wood
The reference was in the manga, and the manga is a webcomic written by a shitposter memelord who makes references to something every 2 panels. You're acting like this is Fez reference in a Miyazaki film or something
Alexander Young
Most people dropped it, its really boring
Asher Sullivan
It’s fucking horrible
Henry Flores
Fastest video in the history of Niconico to reach a million views and by far the most popular anime this season. Stay salty.
Levi Flores
Terraria was shown on an anime before
Christopher Scott
Been out all day and haven't watched it. Is it as bad as last week's?
Lucas Robinson
No it’s not, not even top ten in kiss, it’s pure garbage.
Jacob Young
your shitposting made me fucking pissed, here's your pay
Lucas Ross
>kiss Was almost about to reply seriously, don't do this shit to me user.
Jaxson Morgan
>meme anime memes about a meme game What's so strange about it?
Matthew Hall
>The Anime Gods have descended into 2018...and gave us the most kuso (or shitty) anime in the history of anime, and you either love this series to death OR just don't care about it, because #dankmemes!!! 10/10
Legit worst anime I’ve tried watching, no redeeming qualities, in fact made me quit watching anime entirely.
If your show isn’t pirated it’s not relevant.
Adam Johnson
i love this shit lol
Jaxon Wood
>it wasn't bait >he actually uses kissanime
Jacob Thompson
What do exclusive club members use to watch animes then?
David Robinson
If u don’t torrent 4k cartoon ur not hardcore enugh to be part of the weebclub
John Butler
They are a serious artform. t. Art graduate
Evan Flores
>Art graduate
Ryan Robinson
This entire anime is a collection of shitty pop culture references. You might as well be watching commercials.
James Bennett
It's what I really am but okay. >study communication and multimedia design >was an IT education but became an art academy education without changing the curriculum >graduate >get a fucking bachelor of science degree I don't even know man.
Jace Hughes
Commercials are more entertaining than this garbage. Geniunely first time in my life I can’t even see why someone could find anything worthwhile in something.
Hudson Sanchez
Gamers! have references to BLOPS3 and CSGO in the first 2 episodes. Probably more, but I dropped it.
David Rivera
I’m enrolled into bachelor of fine arts but I’m fucking scared man.
Jason Evans
...
Gavin Cox
At least you'll learn something if it's focused. I "learned" art, webdesign, UX design, animation, film, editing, graphic design, marketing, interactive installations, and 100 other mediums, but at the end of the day any specialized person can do any of those a lot better than me.
Luis Evans
>Legit worst anime I’ve tried watching, no redeeming qualities, in fact made me quit watching anime entirely.
Bentley Bailey
I still BOUGHT their emojis for some chat app. Deal with it.
James White
You sure showed him with that argument
Jose Gutierrez
Sounds more like you fell for his bait.
Hunter Bell
>anime >"our culture"
Christopher Robinson
Pop Team Epic is basically Japanese Rick and Morty, when you think about it. Thus, it is American culture by extension.
Jason Gonzalez
Reminder that Chara did LITERALLY nothing wrong!
Isaac Cook
>be me >be a normal kid >completly uninteressed in tits of any genre >one day realize i have a fetish >be forever grateful to the japanese artist that made me realize >follow him on twitter >he got into undertale >he changed his avatar into temmy >he's talking about toby
i might as well kill myself at this point
Isaac Myers
fuck OFF
Zachary Foster
same, dude
Chase Price
>This entire anime is a collection of shitty pop culture references. You might as well be watching commercials.
or Robot Chicken
Christian Taylor
Struck a nerve?
Ryder Jackson
Yes. I fucking hate that game
Ethan White
wtf i hate anime now
Cameron Lee
At least you can appreciate (insert player gender here) for killing the entire game then
Blake Davis
it's a skit show, not a sci-fi episodic comedy
Owen Flores
>Pop Team Epic is basically Japanese Rick and Morty Japanese Tim & Eric****
So does Sup Forums just hate this series now that it got popular due to the anime? People used to like the comics a lot.
Julian Phillips
...
Sebastian Jenkins
>this garbage is wasting a TV slot
Cooper Rodriguez
It also has a reference to PUGB right in the OP.
Charles Johnson
>implying lolsorandumb absurd quirky anime that exists solely to reference pop culture is something new Excel Saga was already doing this as its main gimmick two decades ago.
Motherfucker make a reference about a type of speedrun popular in niconico of the pooh baseball game, how is a reference to a popular indie game something to be surprised about?
Why would you voluntarily admit to streaming? Do you also regularly tell people you suck dicks?
Levi Hill
I can over-simplify humour to the point is not funny, too
Nicholas Moore
do it
Christopher Gonzalez
I don't get these torrent snobs, shits colored like crayons anyway so why does it matter if your chinese cartoon is 4k or 720p? it's embarrassing that people take this shit seriously really
Jacob Nelson
>Do you also regularly tell people you suck dicks? how else would he find more dicks to suck otherwise? retard
John Foster
>in fact made me quit watching anime entirely. So it's not only a good anime that's really popular this season but it's also making casuals stop watching anime? This is literally the best anime in history then.
Jordan Butler
>nobody is watching I bet you think there are undertale references because western shills forced them to do it, and not because bkub actually enjoyed the game (like many others because they refused to follow the hi/v/eminid) Friendly reminder a good game doesn't necessarily means it will have a good community, and cancerous community doesn't mean the game is shit (unless they they are something like blizzard that listens to their userbase and ruins games)
Thomas Wilson
>Seeing it on Sup Forums/tumblr/reddit = EVERYONE IS WATCHING IT!
Christopher White
>he streams
Owen Hernandez
I got one of those red hats that says "COCK" on it. Works really well.
Juan Nguyen
It shows up on my Youtube recommendations too.
Carson Johnson
>actually being retarded It's statistically the best selling anime this season.
Julian Jenkins
does anyone here actually find this TV show funny at all? I thought the one panel comics were kinds of funny but this show is genuinely just pure shit.
Elijah Hughes
I love Chara!
Noah Miller
Dude, give it up
Parker Roberts
I RATHER EAT DOODIEDIARRHEA OUT OF A DEAD FLAMINGO'S ASSHOLE THAN STAR IN ANOTHER ANIME WITH THAT NOSTALGIA-FUCKER!
Logan Williams
I thought the hellshake yano bit was really good. Episode before last wasn't that great though, I think.
Caleb Smith
Japanese people don't have a sense of humor
Alexander Russell
Based fellow Charaposter
Adam Butler
Trust me when I say no it doesn't reference more, it turns into a generic romcom.
Austin Bailey
Its not funny to me but for some reason i don't dislike it and find it okay to pass some time. I enjoy the opening theme. Maybe because it feels genuine to me? It feels like the dudes who made it are just fucking with people. Like that stupid skit where the two voice actors complain and storm out and then it asks you if you saw it and the two MCs are in the corner under the bench.
Xavier Walker
Hellshake Yano was fantastic.
Dylan Cox
>torrenting upscaled 720p cartoons in 4k >probably just uses horriblesubs or another group that just rips Nice
Brayden Moore
I don't think you know what "not having a sense of humor" means my dude.
Levi Johnson
dunno if sound makes that webm funny but without it's very lame
Christopher Hughes
The /wsg/ board has WebM with sounds.
Owen Cook
The type of humor it has is easier to swallow in comic format. Mostly because you read at your own pace
