Stages Of An Anime Fan

Stage 1: Is introduced to a popular, entry-level anime film such as Akira or Ghost in the Shell by a friend. Proceeds to explore the most famous anime films such as the above, Ghibli movies, etc.

Stage 2: Discovers shonen series, likely Bleach on Adult Swim. Briefly becomes an IRL version of Rikka from Chuunibyou. Does not yet understand why /a/ trolls shonenshit threads. Will hate self for the rest of his natural life for this brief phase.

Stage 3: Mature / deepfag phase. Once he begins to realize shonenshit is shit, begins to seek out “deep” and critically acclaimed anime such as Tatami Galaxy, Evangelion, Lain, etc. Starts debating the meaning of these anime on /a/, as well as starts trolling shonenshit threads, suddenly feeling superior to the plebes in said threads.

Stage 4: Moefag, the final phase. Decides to try a moe series which /a/ seems to love, such as Aria, or more recently Non Non Biyori, etc… justifying it to self as for “purely academic reasons,” e.g. so they can troll or shittalk these series with an informed viewpoint. Ends up discovering that nothing is more peaceful, relaxing, and enjoyable than watching cute girls doing cute things. Ends up realizing that all “deep and mature” anime are actually pretentious bullshit.

Once you realise that japs can't write deep or meaningful stories to save their lives you end up watching stuff that was made to be enjoyable without much of a plot.

Being a child is worshipping grimdark. Being an adult is realizing moeshit makes more sense.

That's all true though /v/ermin

The final form of excellency.

>Stage 1: Normalfag fell for the Anime meme.

>Stage 2: Total pleb is seriously craving for attention so he proceeds to sperg out to everyone how much he likes Chinese Cartoons.

>Stage 3: Insecure fag tries to justify his shit taste by pretending his bland entertainment is DEEP while actual academics don't consider it relevant enough to even make fun of it.

>Stage 4: NEET finally realizes he failed at life and since he isn't getting any relationships with other human beings any time soon, he decides to keep feeding his mental illness with soulless escapism.

FTFY.

This hit too close to home, thanks for nothing

Aria is not moe. You are just making a fool out of yourself right now.

>>148371236
Why do you formulate your opinions like that? Are you insecure?

>>148373179
Entry level isn't about quality though.

>>148371236
Being an adult is when you stop giving a shit what anons think about your tastes.

>>148371236

>>148373179
I mean they are literally entry level.

Being a child is watching shit like Maken-ki, getting a boner and wishing you had a Harem of big titties like those.

Being a boy is pretending to be smart and pretending to have absolute perfect taste and saying how you hate ecchi shit like Maken-ki.

Being a grown man is accepting your taste and learning that Himegami is your one true Godess and you need nothing else.

Why do you keep making these threads? Just watch what you like and stop giving a fuck.
