I'm really not trying to start a circle jerk with this thread. I don't mean to offend anybody by making it.
Anyway, has anybody noticed how much anime culture has changed in the last 15 years especially? I remember anime being THE REAL SHIT but, now it's so different. I spent months wondering how people liked things like Steins;Gate, to finally discover that the VN community is behind a lot of the positive reviews.
I want to ask, how do y'all cope with this? Those of you who grew up with Ghost in the Shell and Akira, Nadia and Black Jack. Do you connect with today's anime community?
I don't mean to imply that yesterday's anime is better. I just struggle to relate to a lot of today's anime. Moe, Idols, fetish stuff. How do you guys find the more cerebral, less sexual animes? Are y'all as annoyed by fetish and comfort anime as I am?
I remember anime being this bastion of originality. Things have changed a lot. I don't mean to say that we didn't have bad anime back in the day but, I feel like there's less good anime now. I struggle to find things to watch because of my annoyance with modern anime culture.
How do you guys cope? Have you learned to love modern anime? Or are you like me, and you only watch 1 anime a season, if that?
Again, not trying to offend anybody who likes anime these days. I just ask that you ignore the thread. I only want to connect with those who grew up with something different, because I don't want to give up on something I loved so much at one time. I want to enjoy anime every season.

Too late. I haven't even finished reading your post and I'm already sulking.
>>151320580
I anticipated this.
>>151320387
Eh, I don't really think anime has changed much in the two decades I've watched it. I mean sure fads have come and gone along with styles and other things that ebb and flow with time. The only real difference I feel there is more targeted pandering stuff, and far less risky interesting stuff because of advances in marketing and market research
>Or are you like me, and you only watch 1 anime a season, if that?
Basically, I still have a lot of old stuff to watch though to tide me over. This is the same way I deal with most media (movies/books) and their modern incarnations.
Who are some other confirmed autists in animango?

Am I Jotaro's wife?
I have a similar problem with expression. I mean I don't expect people to know what I'm feeling but it's annoying when I'm told to smile more because I don't think I need to.Nice blog, me.
>>151320391
Jotaro is pretty much the physical embodiment of /a/nons. You all look and act like him
DOZO!
I'd eat her pussy full of ice cream.
>>151320004
full of cum?

Didn't take long to tell UBW was going to be trash when they invented this scene.
Does Kuromukuro deserve a potential AOTY nod?
>>151319671
I dropped it after horrible cgi mechs.
>>151319671
>>151319688
I don't even hate cgi. In fact I though some of the akito fights were really good.
It was certainly the only worthwhile mecha this year, but I wouldn't say it's quite AOTY material.
what did David productions fuck up on for part 4 and how are they gonna fix it for part 5?
Some of the models were eh and they can fix stuff for part 5 by skipping it entirely.
>>151319667
just skip part 5
its a garbage part thats never referenced again
>>151319745
>>151320358
Part 5 is my favourite; Why you guys don't like her?
Is this appropriate?
>>151319042
She's the goddamn queen of space, who's going to stop her?
>>151319746
Democracy?
I want to watch Urusei Yatsura but don't know where to begin.
Which is the definitive version - the series, the OVAs, or the movies?
>>151318731
the manga
>Which is the definitive version - the series, the OVAs, or the movies?
>version
That's not how it works.
>>151319247
He's thinking of "definitive experience".
You know what he's talking about, though.
So why does no one on /a/ talk about this?
Releases are behind, but the one yesterday had insane revealsThe King led Helck and Vamirio into a facility where they found out that this whole story is taking place in the future
The ancients were regular humans
The ancients are the common ancestor of humans and demons
Human civilization advanced a ton, and some sort of disaster began. People began turning into New World monsters.
>>151318627
>insane reveals
It's not that much of an original twist, I got already burned out on that one with Etrian Odyssey.
I like this manga a lot though.
So when do we start having dogfaced people and pointy ears?
I miss rello.

Blondes or black haired girls, anon?
thicc blondes
Depends on the girl.
Some girls are better with blonde hair, and some other are better with black hair, and some other with brown hairs, and others with red hair, etcetera
you can't just look at one single feature of women and decide
the woman is a package, you have to look at the big picture starting with herpersonality and soul
Purple hair
Ah Kyoani, the masters of making anime real life.
>>151317103
Probably the masters of rotoscoping and tracing. All their art looks shitty and realistic.
>>151317103
Who needs Trump when Kyoani makes anime real, amirite?
>>151317815
Pretty low quality bait.

All of a sudden I want to do very lewd things to Kamakura.
>>151315919
she needs to be punished for being a bitch. no way she can just be a bitch and get what she wants in the end anyway
>>151315978
But that's the best thing about her.
