I wanna fuck Konata.
Is there an anime that aged worse?
>>160992528
Haibane Renmei and Kimba
>>160992441
>fucking a flat chest
>>160992528
I can't say it aged poorly, it just wasn't ever that good.
It's weird having been here since 2008 and remembering how insanely popular this show was during its heyday.
>>160992778
It's still very popular for its age.
>>160992808
Yeah definitely. Very few other shows like it, too. It and D Frag and pretty much my go to anime to have running in the background.
Timotei. Timotei. Timoteeeiii.

>Dancing animu opening.
>anime and visual novel references every five minutes.
>Otaku girlfriend wish fulfillment.
>minor yuri bait
>twintail tsundere fapbait
>Shilling for Aya Hirano and Haruhi, extremely popular voice actress and show at the time.
>dumb catchphrases turned memes, later uploaded onto this new thing called youtube where even more people were introduced.
>Dedicating significant part of episodes to dumb shit like how to eat chocolate cones, dumbfounding viewers.
>Big hatebase, even bigger ironic fanbase just to piss the haters off.
>Not a new premise, but has a "unique" spin to it.
If it had cutaway gags, it would be the Family Guy of anime. The only good thing I remember from it were Minoru Shiraishi, that was funny every now and then.

>ironic
Nah, We weren't that retarded yet back then.
>>160993548
In the half year when Gurren Lagann and Lucky Star aired, 70% of the posts on /a/ were from those two shows, did all those people unironically like Lucky Star?
>>160993622
Back then /a/ was a much more unified place. We didn't really have generals yet to dedicate a thread to a particular anime. If you were on /a/ you'd by necessity partake in the big things that the board cared about. This wasn't about liking it honestly or "ironically", this was about being part of /a/.
That's why there were "NO CODE GEASS" threads when that aired.
tsukasa is CUTE!
Kagamin too!
>>160992665
Only the aesthetics didn't age well for Haibane Renmei, the show is still just as good otherwise.
>>160992528
Boku no Pico
>>160992665
>Haibane Renmei
Care to explain this? I really can't see how it has 'aged poorly"
>>160990575
She's also really cute.
>>160994707
The animation quality I assume. It has some iffy moments.
I wanna have sex with that OST though.
It was the #1 show here, back in 2007. Not like you punks know.
>>160995400
look how old this guy is! a real animo veteran
>>160992808
Is it still popular? I only see like 1 thread a month here with a few posts saying how great it was then quietly hitting page 10.
>>160995284
Animation quality has nothing to do with whether a show has aged well or not
I unironically love Lucky Star.It was my first anime if you don't count dubbed anime that aired on Western networks.
>>160993622
There wasn't any catalog so it was easier to just make new threads instead of digging through 10 pages to find existing threads.
>>160995400
I think you meant TTGL?
>>160997699
Yes it does. It's not everything, mind you, but saying it's not a contributing factor is flat out wrong.
>>160997715
It honestly surprises me that people can enjoy it as their first anime considering the amount of references it makes. Cute is justice, I guess.
>>160997497
There is nothing to discuss.
>>160998315
You can enjoy the show even without getting the references. The fact that you understand that it's references is enough for an 18 year old to feel satisfied (and superior to imaginary fools who can't even tell that it's a reference). One of my first anime shows was Excel Saga.
>>160997699
Depends on what type of anime we're talking about. Some will suffer way more from having poor visuals than others, Haibane is not the type anime that would've greatly benefited from being flawless in that department anyway. It already looked like shit in 2002, and everybody and their mother knows that you're not in for pure eye-candy with that show. It's not completely unsavageable visually (I still love the art and color palette as well as the character designs, and it has some standout moments) but it obviously became a classic for other reasons.
>>160999404
post moar
>>160998422
what about that related show that came out 4 years ago?
>>160999539
This looks like something you'd see if Shaft made Lucky Star
>>160999940
I'd let Tsukasa rape me.
>>160993622
I did and still do.
>>160992528
Love Hina, Excel Saga, Tenchi Muyo, Shakugan no Shana, Elfen Lied.
>>160993458
>Shiraishi
WA WA WA
WA WA WA WA WA WA
WA WA WA WASUREMONOOOOOOOOO
lol this weirdo ran out of disturbing images haha
>>161001247
>>161001360
I love this one
>>160992528
No that would probably be shows whose humor was based on references to stuff popular at the time
Is there a reason Spookasa exists or is it just one of those weird things that exists for no apparent reason?

JESUS TITTYFUCKING CRACK SMOKING CHRIST ON A MOPED WHY WOULD YOU HAVE THIS SAVED?!
SERIOSULY WHAT KIND OF PERSON SEEKS OUT, DOWNLOADS, SAVES AND REPOSTS AN IMAGE, AN ANIMATED IMAGE, OF A DEER FUCKING A CRYING SCHOOLGIRL?!
LIKE I KNOW THERE ARE BIZZARE FETISHES AND WEIRD SHIT THAT TURNS PEOPLE ON, AND YOU KNOW I'M TOTALLY COOL WITH THAT, I JUST DON'T LOOK AT IT. BUT THIS.
FUCKING THIS.
THE FACT THAT SOMEBODY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HILARIOUS TO SAVE THIS...THING, AND THEN THAT EVERYONE ELSE WANTED TO SEE IT JSUT BOGGLES MY MOTHERFUCKING MIND. WHAT TYPE OF A PERSONA RE YOU? SERIOUSLY. DO YOU KEEP THIS SHIT TO YOURSELF OR DO YOU ACT LIKE A CREEPY FUCK IN PUBLIC TOO?! DO YOU HAVE ANY FRIENDS AT ALL? I SURE AS FUCK HOPE NOT.
AND THE WORST PART OF ALL OF THIS IS THAT IN ABOUT 30 POSTS THIS WILL MORPH INTO A LUCKY STAR PORN THREAD WITH ALMOST A HUNDRED IMAGES OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS DEPICTING CHILDREN BEING HORRIBLY MOLESTED THAT NEARLY A HUNDRED PEOPLE ALL HAVE SAVED TO THEIR HARD DRIVES TO JACK OFF OVER AS THE HELPLESS LITTLE GIRL SQUIRMS IN PANIC ON THEIR SCREEN FOR THEIR OWN ENJOYMENT.
JUST WHAT THE FUCK. I KNOW THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WORKS BUT
WHAT
THE
FUCK
TOO MUCH. WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN
(inb4 capslock is cruise control for cool, fuck off pedophiles I can press any damn key I please, go rot in jail)
>>161001655
they're twins so why is one more like rorikon and the other one more like full grown?
>>161001686
Gendo wants in on this.
>>161001445
Tsukasa is cute, and there is a fine line between cuteness and creepiness which makes Spookasa fun.
>>161001560
not really, a little style change and it could be airing today with no problems
>>160992528
I'd say DNA²
>>161001560
Watched it a few months ago for the first time and it was comfy.
>>160992528
Watched it a few months ago for the first time and it was good but not great.
I'm late to the party, what's the origin of these pictures with a darker tone? It's because of the cheerful nature of Lucky Star, or did they sprout because of something else?
>>161001445
It is the end of every lucky star thread
>>160990575
The show where Kyoani started downgrading.
>>160990575
She is my least favorite in that shit show
>>161001560
Watched it again last month, still good.
>>161005430
You can't go any lower than gambling at a pachinko parlor.
>>161001560
Watched it again recently, still good shit
>>161002696
No clue. This is how every Lucky Star thread has been since at least 2010.
>>161006040

>>160992665
gtfo my board faggot flat is justice flat is love flat is life
>>160992528
DragonBall Z?
:thinking:
>>161006403
need cute akiras
>>161006040
finish the dump you tease
>>161006174
its not the real end.
Lucky Star threads are shit. It's always about the food from ep 1, Spookasa and the heartbreaking Kagami student life series
>>160992778
>that one guy on the textboard who started the "I want a girlfriend like Konata" copypasta and it kept going
>>161001560
Azumanga aged like fine wine. Your taste just stagnated and rotted away to shit.
this thread is like 99% autism fan art
>>161009157
I don't see anything wrong with that
>>160999975
Oddly erotic
>>161008247
we'd need a cute akira, just to start
>>160998035
TTGL was a piece of shit, stop. It's Hero Academia today.
>>161010355
I don't get what is up with these creepy autistic fanarts anyways. Anyone care to explain?
