Why can't normalfags into romance/drama anime?

Nice font.

Ive seen a bunch of normies bring up White Album 2 and I have no idea what the second one is. In my experience the "yeah Ive watched 30 shows you can basically call me n eanime expert" normie list is Haikyuu, ReZero, OPM, Titan, maybe Jojo, Mirai Nikki, and HxH

>>157575636
>normies
Hello crossboarder.

>>157574574

Normies don't like anime or manga, period. Unless it's some shit like Dragonball to make themselves more unique or quirky.

>>157574574
>talking shit about Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso

I agree that it's a bit melodramatic in the beginning but the show is great.

School Rumble is objectively the best High School Romcom anime of all time.

Debate me.

>>157575952
That's Toradora though. SukuRan was good but not THAT good

>>157574574
Replace Pet Kanojo with Clannad and you're golden.

>tfw haven't watched any, just read koe no katachi manga

Feels patrician.

>>157575884

After Story when?

>>157575952
I didn't watch it and I'm 100% sure it's overrated as hell.

>>157575952
I watched both season with a friend and he was mostly bored by it. For me it was a legit 8/10. Kinda weird because we have mostly the same taste in anime.

>>157576004
why is even likeable about toradora? I am seriously confused.

>>157576247
Excellent pacing and direction for what is basically a SoL romance.

School Rumble was fun, but I felt that it grew kinda old by the last season. It's definitely one of the shows that marked me the most when I started getting more into anime.

That's not the point of the image. If someone claims to be into romance and drama, and those shows are what's first on said individual's mind when someone else probes them about the above genres, then they're entry level newbies. It's your evaluation that matters. If you haven't watched them then that's just a demerit.

>>157576461
What would be patrician choices to name first then? I'd say Koi Kaze

>>157576532
Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora

>>157576626
Oh so you're just a contrarian who pretends shitty shows are better than whatever is popular, got it.

>>157574574
Shigatsu and Toradora are as good romances as Naruto and Bleach working as romances. To date I don't know how anyone liked the anime of the autistic chick or even labeled as romance, even Chuu2 was a better romance than that and actually better than all of the mentioned above.

Does best girl winning automatically make a series a good series, or can it still be dogshit?

Shut up how many anime have used the word normies by now. Like it or not it isn't just an /r9k/ thing anymore.

>>157576796
You're watching it wrong if all you care is the girl you like "winnning".

>>157576879
>how many anime
None.
It's subbers that use the word. Subbers that are evidently not /a/nons.

like 75% of all anime I ever watched is shitty romcom/battle harem, do I call myself a "romance fan"?

>>157576879

>>157574574
I hate that my favourite medium is shit at doing romance

why does a show go for 12/24 episodes only to have the couple get together in the last episode?

do Japanese people just like being "romanced teased", once the couple get together they don't wanna watch anymore?

I just want to watch two people fall/stay in love ffs.

>>157576918
There is nothing wrong with battle harems, chicks, fights, big swords, romance, what else do you fucking want in your life? I take Hundred any day over shitfests like Toradora.

>>157576996
Maybe because the author never wanted romamce to begin with, and editors demand that shit since it draws readers.

>>157576879
Stop watching commie, normie.

Seen all of those, but this is the best romance

>>157577040
are you talking about a specific show or the industry in general?

I have accepted that I will never find a legitimately 10/10 romance anime and moved on to watching jdrama. Too bad most of them are aimed at fujos or housewives but there is some good ones if you look hard enough.

I found better romance plots from anime that wasn't solely focused on romance. For instance some of the gundams or early berserk.

What is the best release for each season of school rumble?

I'm far from a normalfag, a huge autist in fact and I can't into it either, forgive me for my use of the word but I cringe at it, I enjoy harem sometimes but I don't tend to count them as romance/drama, seeing the drama tag is usually a big turn off for me but I do read romance manga sometimes.

Ore Monogatari is the romance Anime for people who love Romance anime yet hate seeing the same thing over and over again.

Love Romance and Romcom anime myself but they are all basically the same with a couple standout exceptions.

Anyone one read tokyo DTED?

>>157576195
>overrated
What a useless and terrible word. People who use it are litrally just complaining that people like things more than them. So fucking what? This case is particularly bad since you're bitching that too many people like a show you haven't even seen. Fuck off.

Im curious. To those who lament the state of romance in anime, do you actually watch josei or shoujo for this? Or do you ignore josei and shoujo altogether, and hope for a compelling love story in a story targeted at the shounen and seinen demographic?

>>157577260
Fuckin this

Why are Japs so scared of showing couples being affectionate towards each other?

>>157577306
They aren't. But if you only watch action shows written by guys who don't care much about romance, then all you're getting is some "romance" flags: Love at first sight, conquest, first kiss, and a promise of a happy future together.
If you want romance, read/watch romance stories.

This shouldn't be so complicated that you wouldn't understand it.

>>157576996
Ore Monogatari! and Kare Kano both have the couples get together pretty damn early, my guy.

>>157577306
No one wants to endure baka couples in public life.

>>157577356
couple in Ore Monogatari get together in the third episode.

>>157576907
Ok, what does Ryajuu translate to then?

>>157577306
They find romance, especially young romance cringey because they have a strong distinction built into the language and culture between 恋 and 愛. Real love in Japan is supposed to be one of those magical things that stay unsaid and unseen after say being married for 50 years. They know that feelings for another person based on physical infatuation and hormones is not worth pretending to anything more than lust dressed up as something nice.

They see hammy romance as too over the top to play out seriously. Probably while harem and rom-coms are more comfortable. The few animes that have what you are talking about feel like chuuni wish-fulfillment garbage, so I am inclined to agree with them.

>>157575636
>Haikyuu
Is that normie? I know all of 0 people who have watched it.

>>157575704

I'm kind of a normie and my gf showed me a couple of good animes and mangas and ended up here a few weeks ago. it's all about taste.

>>157577402
On /a/?
Normalfag.

>>157577050

What is this?

>>157575704
SAO is officially normiecore at this point. They are also starting to migrating to One Piece and HxH.

>>157577409
It is. One of my normalfag friends who's only seen the Ghibli films, around 700 episodes of One Piece and all of HxH2011 started it recently because he wanted something like the dodgeball fight with Razor from HxH. He either refuses to watch most other shows I recommend or drops them almost immediately, like with Darker Than Black.
>>157577451
The plural of anime is anime and the same applies with manga.

>>157577488

You are one of them.

>>157577480
No, in an anime, what should translation be?

>>157574574
Because those things you listed are mostly vocally discussed by women and women have no taste. Feel free to present like some sort of standards you want to hold movies to though. Because all you did was shift the blame without presenting a solution

>>157577572
>in an anime,
But anime is directed at Japanese. Why would an anime need a translation outside of a localization effort to people who are not Japanese?

>>157577640
You don't quite understand. Riajuu is a scene word, just like normalfag and normie are. That means the translation depends on who you translate it for.

>>157577482
/a/ is filled with newfags.

>>157577695
>Yes.
You also mentioned Ghibli, which is also exactly how my faggot relative got into anime as an adult, after going through a phase where you raged at anything weebish. He followed the exact same fucking path you mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised if he is on Haikyuu based on your prediction.

>>157574574
Anime is made my people who don't get laid and don't understand love in any way shape or form. So it's completely unrealistic. Even by japans really shitty standards of relationships.

>>157577729
This thread is either full of bait or depressingly full of people who have never lurked and don't see the point of it.

This thread is horrible. Reminder to sage.

>>157577488
I wouldn't really say that HxH is mainstream/normie material. Most fans of the series are pretentious elitist who would be disgusted if it was associated with other mainstream anime.

>>157577698
>>157577702
Can't go back, if I never cross boarded to begin with.
>>157577720
So the translation could be normie, what's your point?

>>157577801
>So the translation could be normie,
Yes, but not on /a/.
And that's my point.
Now you either lurk more or fuck off.

>>157577789
They are in for a rude awakening then. HxH 2011 is a forgone conclusion. Its still on the trendier border of that "one friend" who sends out the recommendations to his extended after reading plebbit but its only a matter of time.

>>157577824
Are you fucking retarded, the translations aren't localized to 4chan boards. The translation groups localize them. Unless you have a list of /a/ approved non cartel sub groups shut the fuck up about shit you don't understand.

>>157577765
That's fucking spooky.

>>157577866
>Are you fucking retarded, the translations aren't localized to 4chan boards.
And I am not complaining about the subs, I am complaining about you.
Animes is accepted outside of /a/ as well. On /a/, it is not. Either you follow /a/'s rules or you fuck off.

>>157576461
>caring about merit when it comes to Chinese cartoons
Grow up. You think guys like Miyazaki, Yoshinari, or Anno have ever watched these shit shows? Are they somehow demerited anime fans because of this? What the fuck are you talking about?

>>157577837
As a fan myself, the only mainstream/public-esque viewing I've seen it in were some shitty Hot Topic shirts. I don't know if it's getting more recognition because of the recent dub, but that could be a reason

>>157574574

They show love throughout their lives in subtle ways that only make sense to crazy fish people. As I said it goes unseen and unsaid, but mutual understood.

Its stuff like your wife preparing your bento in a way you told her liked when you first married without fail all these years. Or calling her by her first name on your anniversary. Or going for a walk together and "accidentally" arriving at the place where you proposed.

Its creating an entire universe where you become the an evil demon hated by all for the sake of a single person who will never understand or appreciate the sacrifice and suffering you will eternally endure for the sake of protecting her smile.

Its just AI YO

>>157578095
Maybe 90% of the anime is about sorata trying to find what he wants to do with his life wiyh some romance teasing thrown in in and there. It really isn't about the romance.

Yes, they call each other by their first names until they have kids, then they are "okaasan" and "otousan" or "anata".

When the kids move out and they become grandparents they change names again, or just call each other "hey", and its been so long since they called each other by a first name it feels awkward again.

Riajuu is netslang. Netslang has no proper translation.

If you translated it, it would be person who is content with real life.

If you localized it, you would have to localize it towards the net communities.

If you localize it for the Reddit, /pol/ and facebook crowd it would be normie.

If you translate it for proper /a/nons it would be normalfag. This is why the original S;G fan transition used normalfag and the "official" one for Reddit says normie, as an example.

reality is really harsh on cartoon drawings pictating very glorified romance from a country far far away. Stuff like Naruto gets away with just being nerdy, though keep in mind nerds are not liked. Conclusion; try avoiding gay or creepy stuff facing the eternal normies.

Too broad a question. Manga has a lot of variety. For example romance in Kokou no Hito is very different than romance in Bitter Virgin.

Fag on 4chan doesn't mean homosexual. It means you are a worthless human being.
4chan is a website for losers. Being self derogatory is part of our culture.
The new boards with the newfags may bring in a new culture, but so long as /a/ holds on to at least some of the old culture, you'll be a fag and you'll like it.

>>157580668

What the fuck does you being a massive faggot have to do with /v/?

>Explain this meme

There is no meme. Moot was a faggot. he made a site for faggots. Faggots came. We all accepted that everyone here was a faggot and as such called each other faggots.

That's the wrong way to look at it considering you're not even supposed to talk about anime on /v/. It's the mentality that's closer to /v/, not word frequency.

Golden shit.

>>157580865
Not him. I know you're trying to u mad but most of the people aren't angry. They're self righteous. Going out of your way to go against acceptable behavior is just going to be met with finding ways to either get you to go away or fit in both of which are done by using caustic verbage. When someone is telling you to lurk more they may actually be doing it nicely. It's for the sake of the board to not let the culture we enjoy slip into the depravity you want it to be.

Memes aside I really couldn't get far without cringing.

>>157581022
Well I guess I'm unfair since that's how I argue
I'm annoying and keep countering every little thing to trick the fool that tried arguing with me to make dumb mistakes, and generally keep exhausting him and turn into a battle of attrition that I always win because I can argue endlessly about inane bullshit for hours on end since I spend hours in this place

>>157581037
One of the best romances there is. The jokes are all about the unusual type of character the MC is but it's not denigrating. Quite the opposite. It's pleasant through out and I really enjoyed it.

>>157577297
>>157580861
Shoujo romances can be nice, though they're usually so extremely idealized that they make me cringe more often than not. Some are god tier, though, like Princess Tutu.

An actual critic would ignore you though, because that isn't far from someone digging towards nihilist bedrock to counter an argument.

are you retarded? The only good adult romance anime came from josei. Everything else is otaku fanservice.

>>157581689
You do know I'm leading him to a point in which he really can't answer, right? It's called being a dick and refusing to argue "properly".
Criticism of art is not objective unless we're actually talking objective characteristics, which tend to be average or above average or not matter to the whole in any relevant manner, e.g. animation, coloring, plot holes (these are the worst), etc. Let's say we know what the author wanted to do with their works and actually tried to push something through "odd" choices in coloring or animation for example, but even then, maybe the critic didn't "understand" the author's point himself, but others did. So then who is right in claiming that the point was properly delivered, the other viewers or the critic?

>>157581815
What are you even talking about?
Are you copy-pasting random posts you collected elsewhere?

>>157574574
Because they don't like it. It's the same with /v/, they don't like anything either, except Naruto, Dragonball, Space Dandy, KLK, Inferno Cop, OPM, JoJo and old garbage they refer to as "mature" anime. It's pretty pathetic.

>>157581893
You just don't get it anon-kun

Women can't into romance.
Most shoujo/josei are written by women.
Ergo shoujo/josei romance manga is shit.

Meanwhile, good romances come from VNs.

In the end it's my subjective reality so my opinion is the only one that matters.

That is word for word how I try to explain SaW to people. Dub included. The english VA for Holo just drips with coy sarcasm and smug superiority without going over the top.

this isn't a bad thing per say but it does become a problem when it's overused. Hell, a few years ago this was a major problem and people were just sick of ecchi and fanservice in their shows.

Most still are. It has really calmed down recently but a lot of people started avoiding a lot of shows if they did it too much.
