- More variety in subject matter than any other year of the 2010s so far
Was 2013 the most ideal time to be an anime fan?

What? Is this a joke?

>acting as though subbing is dead
What the fuck is this post? Are you 13?
>>146571674
They existed but weren't very prominent. Memes are anywhere from 8x to 13x more prevalent now than they were three years ago.
Since 2013's anime is still watchable, the current year is the best year to be an anime fan since not only can you watch 2013, but '14, '15, and half of '16.
Next year will be even better, since there will be even more good things to watch.

>Internet memes were on the horizon but weren't really a thing yet
>2013
Were you living in a cave with no human contact until 2013? Or is this a subtle request for old and dead memes?
>>146571906
Memes became a really mainstream thing in, like, 2011
>>146571906
>Trollface, sad frog, umad, so ronnery, etc weren't very prominent.
>>146571906
Bullshit, they were different memes but I'd say they were even more places than the current ones
>>146571906
That's because Internet Memes are mainstream now. Memes have been dead since 2010.
>>146571983
You are a good anon.
>>146572081
Rage comics are alive and thriving, sir. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't slander such a delicate and complex form of expression.
>>146572081
What's the difference?
>There are people browsing this board right now that don't know that all those frog edits originated from a comic series and that the one that popularized it was about taking your pants off to pee.
This thread just makes me sad to be honest, memes were EVERYWHERE as early as 2007, this thread just reveals how much of /a/'s population is 1. <18 2. Only started browsing in the last year or so

underageb& PLEASE leave
The best anime I have seen mostly fall within the early to mid 00s. The only caveat is they were all drawn at such a low resolution.
>>146571983
"B-but modern anime sucks, didn't you know?"
>>146571638
>>Internet memes were on the horizon but weren't really a thing yet
I don't even know how to respond to this.
>>146572179
What this guy said. Wojak has been around since 1995, trollface since 1997, Dat Boi since 1999, etc. Long story short, Internet memes are fucking ancient.
>2013
>old
FUCK
>>146571638
Can confirm it was just as shitty as it is now.
When did the concept of memes become a meme itself? When everything became a meme?
>>146572243
>tfw people born after 9/11 are shitposting RIGHT NOW
I want to die.
>memes are from 2013

ITT: 13 year olds who just learned about 4chan and memes off the facebooks
>>146572344
OP here.
Don't tell anyone, but I'm18.
I haven't been 13 for a long, long time.
>>146572306
Memes became ironic in like... 2010, if that's what you're asking, before that they were actually good
>>146572401
Hey OP, I have a question for you
If you're 18, why can't you remember anything before 2013?
>>146572401
>tfw been underagedb& for half a fucking decade
It feels so weird being of age now. Is this what it's like being old?
>>146572179
>memes were EVERYWHERE as early as 2007
Not even, memes were everywhere since humanity was painting on cave walls. "Kilroy" is a well known vintage meme that achieved apex dankness circa 1942.

millenial: the post
That being said, you are implying 2000s animation or 2010s are in any way superior to any other time period when CGshit and korean photoshop hatchet job animation surged during the past decade.
I will agree though that on terms of accessibility yes the present is the best time to be a consumer. But as an animation enthusiast it's hard to not lament as traditional animation continues to be completely phased out by digital means and more of the great artists of old die every year.
Mid 80s to late 90s was the best, modern anime absolutely 99.9% a shit
>>146572483
Interesting... I hadn't heard of this 'Kilroy' meme...
>>146572540
lol sure thing, Grandpa
80s anime moves at like 5 frames per second
>>146572605
I actually want to kill myself every time I read that someone won't watch anime not made within the past decade because it "looks old"
Millenial anime "fans" disgust me
>>146572696
Don't kill yourself! 90s anime is fine. I'll watch 80s anime too if it's that important to you! Even 70s and 60s!
>>146572768
>60s
Even I have my limits anon, I'll forgive you if you let those slide

>>146571638
I dropped anime that year, too many let downs I didn't come back till fall 2015.
>>146573349
Anon... there's nothing wrong with me just because I'm a Millennial. Some Millennials are 34 years old!
Memes and shitposting are old as fuck. The internet is just the newest medium for it.

At least use sage when postong in bait thread, idiots.
2013 was the ideal time to be an anime fan for one reason: pic related.

Either you started using the internet after 2013, or you're clinically retarded.
