when did you realize anime was dead

When moeshit and shounen replaced everything.

When I came to /a/.

When I took a look at MAL top 10.

When I watched IS.

When I realized there can be only one.

When SAO gets all novel adaptation

>>139909739
Anime has been in a bit of a downward spiral since mentally stunted manchildren started falling in love with 2d girls, thus incentivizing the market to pander their content towards those freaks.

Now e have moeshit, waifus, and all male characters are fags so that Japanese betas can understand them.

Honestly, I'm a bit glad more normies are getting into anime, they may be retarded shitters mostly, but at least with them the lowest common denominator isn't fucking embarrassing.

When shows like SAO and SnK are popular

>>139909739
When i watched Kabaneri but then anime was saved again by Kiznaiver.

>when did you realize anime was dead[?]

Just now, when I marathoned GunBuster and saw how far we've fallen. Is it like this across all fields, among all the corners of human culture and society? Are we not stagnating? Rotting? Decaying? Marching ever-onward in a sort of complacent undeath as we tolerate year after year of moeshit, MMOs, and "average" high school Gary Stus? The more I look into the past, the more I feel like we're slipping into some sort of void and calling it progress. Hold me, /a/.

>>139909739
When SAO is not even about SAO anymore.

>>139912020
>Are we

No. Just you.

When I realized I myself was dead inside

When I saw how even MLP is better written and cuter than any anime these days.

apparently in the early 2010's I got confirmation

Evangelion is shit; most of your nostalgic crap was horribly boring

realize your brain is simply developing based on your life choices and you've lost the ability to appreciate the medium you once enjoyed. YOU'RE the problem, anon, not anime

>>139909739
Dead implyes that nothing is happening anymore, so I'd say anime isn't trying hard enough.

>>139910017
>when shounen replaced everything
So, since anime was first created??
Fuck off.

>>139909739
blah blah
more importantly, i should watch it again.
its been some time

>>139912020
>Hold me, /a/
No. grandma bitch tears must fuck off
things were better once but now we still get good stuff among all the shit.
If you care that much, start promoting old productions and give younger people the reading keys they don't have.
protip:its useless, eventually the right people finds the right stuff without fail

Please fuck off tripfag.

Seriously, if you didn't use a trip, it would seem like more people fight against newfaggotry and make newfags more likely to accept it as board culture. Also, oldfags wouldn't be pissed off and ridiculed you, which in turn reduces the strength of your posts.

tl;dr the trip only decreases the chances of your succeeding

>>139917050
most of the threads it is posted in get deleted or derailed because of the trip

>>139917132
But people will never learn the board culture this way.

>>139917446
stop bumping the thread

there is an increase in people telling retards to lurk more, we're on a slow road to recovery

>>139909739
When slice of life shit took over. its like the reality tv of anime. almost everything moeshit show uses that tag now

>>139910852
>Your Lie in April

It's a boring show. How can anyone even watch through that stupid thing?

When Terraformars got a second season or perhaps when Gits Arise was announced. One of those, definitely.

Same, I've seen some truly awful comments and reviews on that site so now I just ignore every opinion piece now. My guess is the average age of the site is around 14-15.

It's nice to show off your animu and manga list and that's it.

>>139917556
There are two naruto threads and a boruto thread up and being defended.

Nice surprise boxes.
