Why are there 2 different boards for animation? Name one valid reason why we shouldn't merge Sup Forums and Sup Forums.Also what are the differences between anime and toons.

/gif/ and /wsg/ is for animation, those should be included as well.

we should have one board for animation (eastern and western), one board for TV and movies, and one for capeshit

Because mixing the two would lead to East vs West autism.
Also, the Comics and Manga board that would be made with your proposal would be far more autistic than Comics and Cartoons, and that is the last thing this entire site needs.

Cartoon is for kids.

Let's go further and make distinct boards for cartoons, comics, anime, and manga

There is absolutely no difference between the two.
There are just basement dwellers with absolutely nothing in their lives so they pretend that because they like anime or western animation over the other that makes them better than the people that like the other one.

>TV and MOVIES GTFO

Could you imagine?

>merge with Sup Forums
>board becomes waifu claiming threads

Agreed While we r at it there should be separate boards for French,polish,african animation.

Sup Forums is the worst board on this site. 90% tits, ass and loli posting, and the mods will ban you for asking for recommendations.

*Sup Forums
ftfy

Its be a great Aprils Fools event, but the cultures are too radically different. It'd be like merging us with /mlp/

but the merged board exists, it's called /aco/ because it's Sup Forums + Sup Forums

>Sup Forums
>relevant

Take me back to 2010 with you

worked for /mlpol//

There's a great deal of people that have about 90% of their consumption leaning towards either cartoons or anime. So why not keep the boards separate?

I myself watch a ton of anime, tons of animated movies, but can count on 2 hands the number of tv cartoons I care about.

>the mods will ban you for asking for recommendations
That's a global rule, though.

Because Sup Forums complains. Why do you think there's multiple cartoon porn boards? Because Sup Forums complains.

Societal context and general popularity.
Japanese animation is generally treated differently from the west because Japan in general treats animation differently. While in the west animation continues to have a stigma from the general public that it's a "childish" medium, Japan goes nuts over animation and comics and is absolutely wide spread. Despite Disney being one of the largest corporations on Earth and Mickey being one of if not the largest mascot on Earth, Japan itself has a far larger market for animation.

Secondly is popularity and how much animation is released. Because Japan's market loves anime the market is practically overflowed. Every year around 200 different animated shows get released. In America you're lucky if you'd have three new released shows. If western and eastern animation was put in a single board all discussion for western made animation would be completely flooded from eastern animation threads simply because there is far more to talk about.

Fucking weebs and their elitism can stay over on Sup Forums thank you. No need to make Sup Forums any more of a shithole than it already is

It be /ac/ as for animation and graphic novels

I agree, we should instead have a board for cartoons and anime (/carn/), and another for comics and manga (/coma/).

>Because mixing the two would lead to East vs West autism.

But the east are not an enemy any more. You can't even hold elections in the US without Russia contributing their help.

Imagine the bitch fits we'd have if Sup Forums and Sup Forums were merged together all along. We barely managed with Marvel and D.C.

I already have to hide/ignore all the capeshit and Sup Forums shit. please have mercy

stevefag leave

Horrible idea. Sup Forums does not need more users who only watch shows made for children.

because weaboos are already taking over the medium, every artist is trying to make anime looking characters, they are over conventions and you want them to take over the board too, just fuck off

>Name one valid reason why we shouldn't merge Sup Forums and Sup Forums
Natural selection, the Sup Forums side would be obliterated in a couple of minutes.

>Sup Forums
>having waifus

That's called survival of the fittest.It's just natural.

Honestly they should do this maybe like for week?
They can label it as social experiment or do it on April fools like what they did before because honestly I would just like to see what would happen

Most anime is just same-ish garbage. I'll just pick and choose which anime to look at, rather than having all of it bombard me.

Creepy Susie?

>survival of the austists
Best we separate the two.

Honestly, it wont happen, but the best thing for actually interesting discussion would be more boards. My nevergonnahappen dream is:
>Sup Forums - Comics
>/ca/ - Cartoons
>Sup Forums - Anime
>/m/ - Manga
>/ar/ - Retro Anime and Manga (replace the mecha board, anything before 2000)
>Sup Forums - Television
>/film/ - Film
>/celeb/ - Celebrity (ban all actor/actress/eceleb wank from all boards)

/vr/ proves unequivocally that splinter boards work and generate better discussion.

There is actually no reason why /mlp/ should stay its own board. The bronies are WELL past their prime. One pony general would be enough for them at this stage. They should be reintegrated into Sup Forums.

Pandora's box has been opened, they have an identity and will fight to protect it.

Old wounds run deep on the boards and you can expect a lot of backlash even if they behave.

What the fuck are you talking about?

>Old wounds run deep
I bet my dog and lot most posters on Sup Forums today are newfags who never experienced the asinine heights of ponymania autism. Hell, most posters on Sup Forums today probably never even met the faggot who created /mlp/ in the first place.

Sup Forums is full of discussions abut waifus, lolis and pantsus, and that stuff will completely overflood all Sup Forums discussion if we combine them.
Besides, Sup Forums is its own board. It's one of the first boards. It must always remain its own board, for reasons of history, tradition, and containment.

>"they"
You will never be allowed back, accept it

It only takes a few posters to start a shitfit.

Remember more than 50% of board regulars don't post at all.

>Why are there 2 different boards for animation? Name one valid reason why we shouldn't merge Sup Forums and Sup Forums
But we have 0 boards for animation, what we have are two boards for a bunch of autists to talk about which cartoon girl they want to fug

Instead of merging Sup Forums and Sup Forums, the mods should add a new board,
/ani/ - animation
No talking about the characters from shows, just animation, animators, and the act of animating. It would be a place for people that actually animate or just appreciate animation in all forms to talk to each other without people derailing the thread with shitty dumps of little cartoon girls

>Sup Forums- Anime and Cartoons
>Sup Forums- Comics and Manga

Fixed

>you can expect a lot of backlash even if they behave.
they behaved when they were on Sup Forums, it was falseflagging shitposters that spammed all the other boards.

>and the mods will ban you for asking for recommendations.
We should do that here too desu.

If anything they should just refactor /mlp/ into a board for Sup Forums and Sup Forums related generals.

We already have sakugatwitter for that. And the actual sakuga whizzes would never take a step into /ani/ so what's the point. Chan culture is beneath them.

Every board got along immediately but not /mlpol/. They bitched and moaned until the day was almost over.

They might eventually, and its not as if there aren't enough people on Sup Forums to populate the board.
Sure, it wouldn't be as fast as Sup Forums or Sup Forums, but there is nothing wrong with having a board that moves at an /ic/ pace

A board where people could share progress, ask for help, and share interesting new and old animation that they love would be amazing. There are more than enough styles of animation to keep plenty of active threads up as well. You would have sprite artists from Sup Forums, /vr/ and /vg/, 3D animators from Sup Forums and /3/, traditional animators from Sup Forums Sup Forums and /ic/, hell even stop motion animators or whatever else people want to talk about.

I've been dreaming of an animation board for years, but I guess I might be overestimating how much people like animation

>itt newfags that think that splintering the boards will make the site better
I'll give you that there should be 1 or 2 boards for manga/comics storytimes because as of now is a drag to be the storytimer/reader. But because the pass reduces the image posting time, it will never happen.
Sup Forums is not a fucking forum, we don't need to have 100 different boards for each topic on planet earth. And no, generals do not clutter Sup Forums like they did with Sup Forums at most we have like 4 generals running at the same time, with 130+ possible threads at the same time, they are not killing any discussion on the board.

What is wrong with asking for recs? My interests are pretty niche and I would have never found the comics I read if it wasn't for someone on Sup Forums pointing me in the right direction.
I could understand that it would be annoying if it was something people did everyday but maybe it could be confined to its own thread or something.

/aco/ was created literally because of East vs West autism on /d/

It's literally because /d/ couldn't handle western art styles /aco/ had to be created.

>Sup Forums would be obliterated in minutes
Sup Forums isn't that much more active.

go on any of the porn boards and you'll understand why

>tfw you run a story time on Sup Forums that spans 5 threads and some autist hops in the final thread and starts throwing a fit and reporting everything until the thread gets deleted because he decides "COMIC SPAM ISN'T FUCKING VIDEOGAMES REEEEE"

Remember a time when we had refugees here on Sup Forums, people going all i want to discuss this but Sup Forums is too mean?

Funny how that doesn't happen anymore.

Sup Forums has it right, have the mods enforce the rules or the board goes to crap.

Good way to get recommendations
>Hey Sup Forums have you heard about this cool detective/mystery french comic set in the US prohibition era? Can you recommend me more with the same setting/tone/artstyle?
Bad way to get recommendations
>I like Spiderman what should I read?

Anime and Manga come from the east
Cartoons and Comics come from the west.
What's hard to understand about that?

It helps avoid "What are some anime about [Recent political event/off-topic bullshit]" threads
Look at Sup Forums for reference as to why that rule should be enforced

If you really want recs just google that shit or lurk to find something that interests you

What was that?

Where does Russian animation fit in

Some people like both, but there would undoubtedly be a large "glorious Nippon" faction.

Personally I'd be down with a Comics & Manga board. Fuck animation.

Sup Forums is worst board period.

Autism

I almost never go to Sup Forums but what's so bad about it?

Bane?

Why don't /ck/ and /an/ merge? I mean, we eat animals and nature, so it makes sense.

If you think lolis are bad, Sup Forums posts jailbait and when mods are not quick enough you can actually see pedo shit being posted. Not to mention almost no discussion on the topics (movies and tv series), instead you get Sup Forums tier memes.
And if you are such a pussy about going there, just go to reddit and look for all the shit they screencap. It's just Sup Forums shit marginally related to movies.

Not only that but webcomic autism and other cartoon debacles are already well together.

Are you fucking kidding me, anone? This board is fucking riddled with waifufagging. Sometimes multiple threads at a time.

Disgusting.

Because Weebs will get super asspained and autistic and ruin any kind of merger for everyone.

Fuck you, nigger. Let my toku and mecha be.

When it comes to comics and manga, I tend to mostly read one or the other during a given time frame. I get used to reading in one direction and I need a transition period to switch.

And I was thinking that Sup Forums should be divided into Sup Forumsmics and /Ca/rtoons.

Western. Same with Korean cartoons.

Because I fucking hate Fantano.

>the mods will ban you for asking for recommendations.

There's nothing wrong with that. Mouth breathers who don't know how to search for stuff and are too cowardly to jump in a new series without the approval of their peers should remove themselves from the genepool

Imagine Sup Forums's retarded little brother who is obsessed with flavor of the month TV shows, shitty movies, actresses and old memes.

Why are there boards? We should all be one board /marclar/.

>Sup Forums
>having waifus
Yeah, crazy.

Destroy Sup Forums. Relegate cartoons to Sup Forums and comics to /lit/. Reap infinite salt.

Wrong. Nothing wrong with Recommendations. It's what separates us from savages.
