dumb? they're the most popular animes, so popular even people who dont know what anime is know them. that's why op asked us to name other animes that arent as well known. like entry-tier level animes such as death note or steins gate, or deeper tier level animes like umaru-chan and eromanga sensei, except the last 2 are bad examples because they're new, so you wouldnt really be an oldfag if you watched them

Ah, the early years of /a/
When we were all newfags together - before "newfag" was a term.
When we could laugh together at those crazy Japanese Otaku with their "waifus" and their NEET lives. Before newcomers actually thought we were supposed to emulate them.
When we could have off-the-wall threads on /a/ that Went Places. Before conformity was strictly enforced.
I despair that we'll never see the likes of those days again.

>>158225698
This image's creator and you both don't know what otaku means. You can be an otaku and only like one anime, you can be an otaku and not even like anime.

>>158227867

Newfag detected.

>>158229568
>Before newcomers actually thought we were supposed to emulate them.
This isn't the right way to pretend you're old, because regardless of the term's origin, it resonated with something inside us all. See Pygmalion.

A question for the grandpas: how many years do I need to browse to be considered an oldfag?

>>158228613
I think 'grinman' was what he was called on EB or SA.
On 4chan and similar sites (ED) he was usually called 'cockmongler'. (Just in case it wasn't clear)

>>158229976
He was always called cockmongler. People came up with calling him grinman to troll others.

>>158230010
Interesting. Never actually browsed EB or SA, so I wouldn't know.
It would be somewhat ironic, because there are probably people out there now who unironically call him 'grinman' because of that, which in turn actually normalized the new name.

>>158230847
To be honest, I have no clue either. I didn't fully understand it at the time.
My guess back then was a pejorative, something like 'newfag' or 'casual'.
It's a Japanese word after all, you can look it up here: http://www.edrdg.org/cgi-bin/wwwjdic/wwwjdic
(Search for romanized words)
I was rarely on /a/ back then, so I'm not sure.

>>158231035
Niwaka comes from "niwaka otaku" (にわかオタク), or "sudden/impulsive otaku". It means someone who calls themselves otaku due to a single point of similarity with the generally accepted idea of otaku, usually for social posturing.

Please try Google first in the future; it's not that bad.

It's ironic since as with "otaku", "niwaka" was adopted and subverted outside Japan to posture about how similar to Japanese one is. After all, they're using untranslated Japanese rather than the equivalent in their native language.

Far less excusable than "sakuga", which takes more explanation outside Japanese.

That's language everywhere always. Faggot, bitch, dude, retard, and so on. Ever heard of someone using "anime" to refer to animation that doesn't take style cues from Japan? The more people agree on what a word should mean, the more it factually means that.
