It makes us realise how shit our own lives are, and from that we derive a sort of masochistic pleasure.

>>118839678
Live long enough and you will start to enjoy the small things.

>have autism
>no real friends

Its that simple anon.

Not everyone is as childish and unintelligent as you anon.

>>118839806
I enjoy SoL and I am not autistic plus I regularly go out with my real friends, as well as working full time mon-fri job.

What now idiot.

>>118840313
What now is you get out.

A replacement for our shitty lives with no real pressure or pain. It's normalcy put onto a pedestal and turned into a fetish.

This. It's just escapism, there's no real harm. I live a relatively normal life, I just really resent it, and SoL is nice.

>>118840555
Dont worry, PA Works will finally abandon SoL shit next year with Charlotte.

And I'm a normal enough, quiet guy who likes to keep to himself, that's all. I don't have to be some sort of autismo to enjoy it.

I can handle most of it.

What's the matter? Too deep for you?
Go back to your baby anime's like Bleach and Naruto.

>>118839678

Some of us don't have dogs to watch

>>118839678
This is why freedom of speech is bad for 4chan, it allows retards like OP say shit like this.

>>118840643
>And I'm a normal enough
Hello newfag. You'll see soon enough that is not the case.
Loli is frowned upon by normalfags for starters

>>118840580
>Spending most your free time fapping to hentai watching anime and playing videogames is now normal

Shit why didn't someone tell me.
Guess I can talk about Illya at work when I go back now.

I noticed that the shounen stuff is actually what's really boring.

It almost always only relies on cliffhangers to get you to watch the next episode, even if the episode you just saw was boring shit, and the next one is boring shit. You only keep watching to get a sliver of exposition that will help solve the big mystery of the series or the arc or whatever. Yeah there happens to be a few worthy fights here and there, but in a 13 ep series, they'll probably be only a couple good episodes. The first one to hook you in and present the mystery, the 10th or 11th when the climax happens, the last, and maybe another one thrown in at around the 6 or 7 ep mark.

This is contrast to SoL where each episode is enjoyable on it's own, because it's usually episodic and can't rely on plot devices like cliffhangers to keep you watching, and instead has to make each episode fun to watch on it's own.

>>118840599
I used to resent SoL fans a great deal but I've grown out of it. Not because of SoL itself but because that kind of person is likely to judge or act like an asshole. Notice how everyone in this thread has a job and real friends.

In a world that's changing every day it's understandable why people would desire normality or fantasize about it.

>>118841023
Why don't you try? Maybe your coworker likes mango/animu.

i only watch action anime

like naruto, hxh, sword art online, attack on titan, one piece

>>118841118

SoL is for mature audience

>>118841118
Out of all of those, the one I liked the most was AoT, and even that was mediocre at best.

>>118841156
I watch some anime but I like entering generals of shows I'll never watch/read and shitting up the place.

I'm pretty sure there's a sizable gap between the normalfags you guys rag on and a normal everydude who happens to like maori cave paintings.

I'm not forcing my normality on other people, at least. It's just a part of my being.

>>118841269
I do that and I also make threads with bait all the time. 4chan is the funniest place ever.

Because it's comfy and relaxing to watch, You know what you get with SoL.

Some people just want to see a show with no bullshit on the horizon.

>>118839678
I don't have sisters/cousins nor any female relative/close friend with less than 40 years. SoL's/CGdCT help fill that void.

>>118841478
watch more anime you fucking seasonal faggot

>>118841023
Wow how can you miss his point so easily? Just take that guy's advice and just leave.

A lot of shows like Azumanga Daioh or Lucky Star appeal by being whacky and providing funny commentary or jokes about preestablished characters and relateable topics. Theyre bascially episodic sitcoms in anime form with cute girls.

Others like Hidamari Sketch are more appealing to otaku or people comfortable with the genre but are funny because of the character chemistry and subtle humor.

It's funny how most of /a/ likes to pretend like they spend all their time watching anime and being alone, when it's more likely they're just normal people with jobs or jaded teenagers isolated or sick of an excessive popular culture or government.

I would never be able to indulge in my hobbies without a job, so it's only natural I would have one. Friends came naturally. I don't really hang out with them at all though, I spend 99% of my free time alone. If I spent any more time with them, I'm sure I'd hate them.

>>118841902
what i get from this thread is that normalfags have bad taste in anime

Yet again proving how autistic /a/ is.

SoL lovers are either autistic anons with no friends or socially competent people who go out regularly and watch it to unwind because it's a good change of pace from life in general

>>118841844
>Azumanga
>Wacky
It does have a lot of hijinks, but it's not the majority (but those are the best moments).
If you're looking for whacky, then watch Pani Poni Dash.

You're meant to find the characters likable enough that you want to spend time with them as your friends.

Also it's bad to generalize shows by genre, I really don't ignore any genre.
>>118841949
Yeah. It makes sense really, most "anime fans" watch what's popular, so they only end up watching like, one series per year. It's pretty stupid. It makes me glad though, it keeps too many people from ruining the hobby I enjoy.

>>118842153
What you actually meant is that the characters need to be as generic as possible so you dont feel threatened by uncoformity and it needs to appeal to your pleb tastes as much as it can do

>>118842034
All of them are garbage. One Piece isn't even the best of the crap.

Based Maeda-kun and Na-Ga saving PA Works

SoL is a genre to relax from other animes that are more dense. The stories are very easy to understand and the ambient always nice.
(also it's a replacement from our shitty lifes.)
