I'm trying to put together a list of all the memorable shows for this board throughout the years. Unfortunately I'm not an oldfag so anything from the board's birth to early 2006 is lost on me, plus my memory is pretty hazy regarding the activity of some shows. I've got a bunch of stuff down but I'm sure I'm missing a few. Rules are simple:
- The show or manga must have had a remarkable and lasting impact on the board during its airing time or afterwards, preferably flooding /a/ with threads
- Containment threads must have failed if they existed at the time
Candidates I've considered but not added yes:
>Psycho Pass
>O MY RUBBER NEN
>Starting today, I'm Nagaoka's girlfriend. Pleased to meet you
>Rozen Maiden
>Bakemonogatari

The Free! announcement.
Raildex was (and in sometimes, still is) the pinnacle of autism, both in good ways and bad ways. Railgun shitposting, TouMAN, Accel spammer himself, etc.
Actually I'm pretty sure you can still get yourself banned by posting with Accelerator in the namefield, but I'm not gonna test it myself.
SAO due to the amount of Frodos it spawned
>>158938481
You dont have the rape on valverape there or maybe I am missing it.
Valverape was huge and still gets brought up from time to time
>consensual rape

It what way is Guilty Crown a good anime?
TWGOK
>>158938481
>Naruto
>Kill la Kill
>Re:Zero
Fuck off. Those threads were only active because of crossboarders.
>>158939811

>preferably flooding /a/ with threads
That's fucking retarded because it can be done by a lone autist, for example the re zero spam
>>158938481
What kind of shitstorm that K-on has caused?
>>158939481
>>158939336
>>158939811
True
>>158939277
>>158939735
These two are a bit the bottom of the barrel
>>158939809
>>158939882
Quality has nothing to do with it. I don't like half a bunch of the shows I've put on the list, either. Also crossboarding, just like summer /a/, is a boogeyman
>>158940419
Anyone who's not a complete retard can tell when the board is being flooded by a single person. Also it's become harder ever since the captcha was put into place
>>158940563
It had a huge following on /a/ and thanks to it the popularity of CGDCT shows skyrocketed, with all the shitposting it involved
>>158941065
>Anyone who's not a complete retard can tell when the board is being flooded by a single person.
Exactly, what's your point?
Re zero was a single fag spamming, you're a retard if you didn't realize it.
I pity anyone who didn't experience this
Dunno man, Gatari seasons, Medaka Box manga weekly threads, CA and other trainwreck of the season./q/

The entire board went complete apeshit for a month. Nothing will ever beat this.
>cgi dragon
NO
>>158938481
uh hello??
camrip experience truly was the pinnacle of /a/
I don't remember Toradora having more shitposting than other harems.
>>158944966
It's funny how cherry-picked this image is. I remember clearly barely anyone was even following this garbage manga after that dumb time travel arc.
>>158943659
I was about to cry watching Episode 10 but /a/ made me laugh and get away with mere depression
Garbage tier anime but top tier threads with SHSL wageslave and Juzoboys

Newfag here and I feel you are right.

It's going to be glorious

>Accelspammer
This. Loli uprising deserves a mention
>>158939277
>>158945313
The Free announcement was huge, because a year earlier there was that ominous image floating around from KyoAni, and people thought it would be Haruhi or FMP.
>>158938481
Kill yourself slowly and painfully.
>>158945488
>>158945548
Accelspammer wasnt an event. It was like several months of suffering
It's like putting the box or wiki spam up there

You did already list Bakemonogatari, but how significant was the reaction to Kaiki's 'death' at the end of Koi?
>>158938481
OPM
Don't forget the Chuuni shitstorm because of Shinka not lusting for MC's dick

>No Boatserk

Negima's ending.
"O my rubber nen" comes to mind, though I guess it was fairly minor.
>>158944991
Haruhi is on there.
>>158944839
Seconding this, Aku no Potato was the most recent big shitstorm aside from SamFlam.
Kyon-kun Denwa should definitely be on there.
Jojo should be somewhere
>>158945313
This is what you get with decentralized threads. It's funny how people haven't made any countermeasures to prevent this from happening again.
>>158952054
Why? There were no /a/-centric shitstorms or anything similar surrounding JoJo.
This is not a "popular anime" chart.
>>158952272
>wanting to prevent shistorms like that from happening
I hate to be the one who says this, but do you hate fun?
I think we were all on the same page but what about the glorious week when the Bort spinoff made it seem like Salad was Kirin and Sasuke's daughter
>>158938481
Guillotine Gorilla at least was a quality shitstorm thread.
In fact, Samurai Flamenco threads were kinda notorious for the relative lack of shitposting, if I'm not wearing rose-tinted glasses.
>>158943659
I didn't watch it because I never played DR2 and only watched dr1 anime.
>>158952740
Because Guillotine Gorilla was a massive filter. 90% of people watching FamFlam dropped it at that point. The fanbase continued to dwindle, and there weren't even enough people keeping up with it to warrant shitposters bothering the threads.
The only people in the threads were the ones who were still willing to see where the show was going. There was no point in shitposting about the ridiculous, dumb, and boring stuff the show did from that point on because everyone left had accepted those aspects.
>>158952989
The only thing after GG that I'd call boring was the episode (or half of an episode? Can't remember) where they played all the standard-sentai-episode tropes apparently straight - apparently in that they weren't actually played straight, but rather subtly untwisted.

>K-ON above Lucky Star
>When Lucky Star ep 1 single handedly divided the board in two and it never recovered.
K-ON was more popular but Lucky Star had a bigger impact.
>You can punch Accelerator by pulling back your hand at the right moment
>>158953251
The episode or two of super sentai was definitely boring, I also remember being very bored by From Beyond and Beyond Flamenco.
For me at least, each arc (post-GG) began as being amusing on the merits of how crazy it was, dipped to being mind-numbingly uninteresting in the middle, but always reaching amazing highs in its finale.
>>158945313
>tfw that silhouette crudely filled in with Sousuke
So what is the hottest anime on /a/ right now?
>>158953757
Of the season? Maybe saekano since it's the only one with threads that reach limit.
>>158953757
Eromanga-sensei
>>158953757
If you don't count shitposting, I'd say Shingeki no Bahamut S2, but it's very hard to not count shitposting.
>>158938481
>no Gundam SEED Destiny when it literally gave birth to a new board
You can knock TTGL and Madoka down.
nice blog.
>>158952630
no, I hate having more interesting threads get archived due to spam in the other threads.
