fuck

He's really gone

RIP

>>138583547
Don't be so fucking ignorant. This is Jii-san OP is talking about, not some F-grade weeb.

I always loved having his reviews in written form, because the sharp hissing whenever he pronounces the letter "s" in his videos bugs the shit out of me.

How long before his Youtube videos disappear, too? Are they (or his written reviews) archived anywhere?

Even if he wasn't actually dead by the time he stopped posting, he most likely is by now considering his age. How old was he anyway, his 60s, 70s?

If they haven't been archived someone needs to get on that.

Not me though 'cause I'm lazy.

>>138583547
Newfag detected.

I always watch his reviews in case there's an anime I haven't watched yet. why are they so genuine and comfy?

>>138583418

>>138583615
I didn't even realize he had his reviews in written form

>>138583728
I believe it's partly because he's rather neutral and doesn't hyperbole much. Most faggots, I presume, essentially only has three scales in their rating which is either "the best thing ever made", "boring as shit", or "fuck this piece of shit why doesn't it pander to me".

>>138583881

Is there anyone that could continue his legacy?

>>138583911
Just give me another 20 years and I'll take up the mantle.

>>138583973
Not old enough to retire and hike around talking about anime yet.

>>138583935
Won't there be thousands of jiisans in 20 years when most of us are 40 or 50?

where is he buried? I will send them flowers

>>138584130

I would be glad to have a civil argument on who's the best girl of their respective anime.

>>138584130
Well, to be a real jii-san you gotta be at least 60, I think that's a the minimum.

>>138584130
It would be pretty amazing to see /a/nons who haven't killed themselves still shitflinging over their best girls in a by then 30 - 50 year old shows.

>>138584185
Only possible in threads about a single series.

>>138583728
He keeps it simple:

1. When was an anime made
2. Who directed and produced it
3. Brief plot summary
4. Talk about the main characters
5. Did the anime tell its story successfully?
6. Art, animation and sound
7. Rating out of 5 stars
8. Licensing info

^ Literally every grumpyjiisan review. No bullshit like analysis, objectivity, or criticism. Also he had a fun sense of humor that shone through every once in a while.

>>138583911
Wait a few decades and i'll make reviews on hentais, especially netorare ones.

>The authors have deleted this site.

If he's dead, how is this possible?

I hope the internet still exists in a few decades.
It was already getting worse once Myspace was intruduced. Fuck normalfags, they destroy everything.

>>138584795

Hopefully social network sites die out and the Internet can return to it's golden age with everyone going back to forums.

>>138584846
I hope that too. Maybe everything trageting casuals will move to mobile shit some day be separated from the rest of the internet. Social fags are only using Facebook, What's App and image sharing sites like Pinterest to begin with. They never leave those places unless some retard tells them that 4chan is cool or something.

Didn't his relatives say he had arthritis or something?

Downloading all of his channel right now: http://185.120.5.227/ and rsync://185.120.5.227/grumpy It will probably take 1 more hour to finish downloading from youtube.

I wont keep this around for months, as my allowed traffic and disk space is limited, but high enough to put that on the public internet for a few weeks. So if someone wants to set up an archive, they're welcome.

Who?

>>138585911
I'll try to finish downloading all these videos today anon
thank you for uploading them

>>138585911
Done.

>>138583547
fuck you

>>138587010
(By that I meant everything has been downloaded. 3 are missing due to copyright claims).

I know it's not a unique thought or very relevant here, but it hits me hard when I think about when 4chan eventually shuts down or when enough users from my generation have left that it's essentially a different place. I've had thousands of conversations here but at the end of the day I can't link it to a single name or face. Everyone would all just disperse into the crowd anonymous til the end, and I wouldn't even know if I passed by one of them on the street.

I haven't even been here in months and yet that fear will always stay with me. I hope everyone here becomes happy

>>138585911

That's the beauty of this place. Moot had the right idea when he was against the archives. The beauty of 4chan is her ephemeral nature.

Anons you don't know how many times you've met, some days you've agreed with them, some others you've called each other faggots and told each other to go die in a fire. No one has an identity, we just come here, say our shit and be on our way.

I'll pretend you're not just shitposting and give an actual answer.

grumpyjiisan was a 60+ year old dude who loved hiking and talking about anime. It's likely that he died several years ago. He has a Youtube channel that you should visit in order to appear less new. In short, he's the only anime reviewer /a/ has ever tolerated.

I remember seeing this post explaining the situation towards the end: https://warosu.org/jp/thread/S11787688

This guy had always made me want to start up an anime review YouTube or live stream podcast style with two people who talk each week about the anime that aired and latest anime affiliated news. I know people here have shit on everyone besides him though and I don't go to reddit so no clue if it's popular there.

Is it an awful idea guys?

>>138614430
Yes.

>>138583547
Oh wow, it got deleted.

Wish there was some guide to his videos since none are actually properly labeled and you can't tell what anime he will talk about.

So is there an archive of his wordpress?

>>138615407

Stop trying to validate your ideas and expect us to agree, just do it man, enjoy yourself fuck what everyone else says, if you like it and enjoy it go ahead nigga. I have a anime review channel and I'm fucking shit at it but I love doing it, so go do it.

>>138614430
Setting up a youtube channel and doing whatever you want to do is easy anon. Hard part is how to make it popular.

To do that you might need to shill in reddit, and we all know by doing that you're pandering to the lowest common denominator.

But maybe it's the gap appeal of him reviewing highschool of the dead biasing me.

I think what he really means is that he did all of those things without the stupid hyperbole that tends to ruin other anime review shows.

Summer Wars is fantastic, what is your problem?

More like 'praise anon.' This thread has seriously delivered. Even after youtube disappears from the face of the internet, grumpyjiisan's body of work will live on.

Nice.

>>138632837
it was a good movie with a nice vibe, but it wasn't a 5, at least for me. I'd rate it ~4.7.

Nobody seems to know for sure, but his arthritis was likely a contributing factor.

>>138638373

Is Grumpy Jii-san the Kacho of /a/?

>anime always moves forward

No, time always moves forward. Anime continues to be made year after year, but that doesn't necessarily mean it gets better.

;__; I won't forget Grumpy Jii-san.

Friendly reminder that doxing will result in a ban.

Not only is Arino alive with a large following of fans, but he doesn't extensively review the hidden Gems of video games he plays.

We liked Grumpy Jii-San because we respected his taste, /v/ likes Arino because he can't play video games and is "le comedy middle aged asian man".

I'm glad I got them for this post.

There's nothing wrong with that. Even if you add meme words.
