What does /a/ think about the casulisation and popularity gain of Anime and Manga over the course of the last decade?
Has the easy access and streaming culture ruined everything?

Yes.

I don't give a shit. I'm still an autist who uses four gigs of video card shit to render my 720p anime, and this wouldn't change from retards getting in on this shit. One thing I'm pissed about is that retards are still too stupid to figure out Japanese, and this causes me to accidentally download a hardsub.
Strange, this board has become slow compared to 5 years ago.

It's terrible and everything I used to care for has gone to shit, but then again that's life. Hopefully we will all be dead soon enough and no longer have to suffer.

Maybe it's just a phase.
People will probably get bored of it someday.
All these ironic memelords that buy the visual novels on steam and buy doujins on fucking Fakku will slowly become adult and maybe get a new hobby.
You're a newfag if you think anime wasn't casual before

NoVideo, the way you're meant to be played.

as usual, newfags and normies ruin everything
>>157767616
Anime should be socially unacceptable again.
>>157767667
it's not even that, it's just normies thinking they can "like" anime just because their friends do. its typical thottie bullshit at its finest
It's making /a/ worse but that's about it.
I really don't care since it doesn't affect Japan.
Also this >>157767731
It's an inevitable part of any subculture.
It will never be the same as it was before becoming (somewhat) mainstream, but soon enough the world will move on and find a different thing to casualize.
That's what keeps me optimistic, anyway.
