Which Anime has been the most influential on 4chan?

yotsuba

>4chan was started as a project by Christopher "moot" Poole, a user of a small IRC/DC community known as Raspberry Heaven, which was [then] composed of users from the "Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse" (ADTRW) sub-forum of The Something Awful Forums. The site began as a small image dump for those communities that soon spread like wildfire and garnered enough traffic and popularity to become its own fully fledged community.

He's asking about anime only, I think.

>>161007555
That's a manga, fucktard.

FLCL and TTGL pretty much changed this place from "discussion" to "shitpost" a long time ago.

>>161007774
Nobody mentioned when it aired. But FLCL and TTGL were basically just shiposts fests when /a/ was conceived. (While other posts actually gave a shit about discussion.)

What's the one anime you were glad you had to watch with /a/?

I'm really happy I got to watch Parts 1 and 2 of JJBA with /a/. The shitstorm that ensued when the very first time Roundabout by Yes played was great. If only it stopped there.
Watching Samurai Flamenco with /a/ was probably my favorite time being on here especially for Chopping Chimp.
I got here shortly before TTGL starting airing and that first episode really was an experience. Funny enough though, some of the best threads were during that Kittan episode with the godawful "Breathing closely into an anus" animation.

Rozen Maiden, Haruhi and Lucky Star were probably the most iconic anime to ever infect /a/ when we'd shitpost and spam nonsense all day long, amazing how irrelevant they seem now.

https://world2ch.org/board/

Found the oldfags.

>>161012277
What, didn't you love the endless 8 weeks?

Rozen Maiden, Azumanga, and Haruhi in the early days probably.

In more recent years, Madoka, Monogatari, maybe Kill la Kill? I specifically remember high amounts of shitposting surrounding those ones specifically.

>>161015649
>In more recent years
Madoka was 6 years ago, anon

>>161015649
Kill la Kill really gotten forgotten nowadays replaced with Flip Flappers which is also falling in memory

maybe UBW?

>>161015740
That's recent.

>>161012234
I would give anything to go back to mid 2000s anime

>>161015649
If you're including Haruhi from 2006, the DEEN adaption of F/SN was another massive one. There are still 4-5 memes from that show still in circulation a decade later.

>>161011818
Most anons don't even remember

>>161011758
>All off-topic images will be removed
Sad they don't remove frogshit anymore.

>>161015740

>mods say they'll remove frogposters

MODS = GODS
inb4 random post in a thread obviously made for shitposting that's going to be deleted anyway.

>>161007526
Maybe Eva. Isn't there a screenshot of moot saying something like he is sick of Rei posters and would ban them?

>>161011875
>I'm really happy I got to watch Parts 1 and 2 of JJBA with /a/. The shitstorm that ensued when the very first time Roundabout by Yes played was great. If only it stopped there.
Why did the fanbase get so shitty so quick?

>>161015966
I mean they still do on /a/ and a few other boards but other boards are still infected by offtopic images

>>161015797
It took almost three years before GAR left /a/'s lexicon. Those were simpler times.

>>161010055
You nailed it. I tend to forget that Rozen Maiden even exists nowadays, but damn was it everywhere back in the day.

>>161016126
I bet gar left less because of it's actually a misspelling of "gay" but because it originated as a misspelling for "gay for archer"

still type-moon fans but I'm sure no one anymore equate any character in FS/N with "manliness" (save maybe Gilgamesh)

>>161016228
It just became outdated like most other memes that were acceptable at the time, like "FAIL", "epic win", "o rly" and all the other 2000s memes we like to forget were commonplace on 4chan. Quite a few DEEN memes managed to stick around, though. I still see J-J-Jam It In and Ya Lost Me posted occasionally.

Yeah the Jojo animation is probably the biggest monkey paw i have ever seen

I remember back when 80% of /a/ didnt know what the fuck Jojo was and the threads pretty much consist of 5 fags circle jerking with each other. A thread can last like 2 days before it barely reach the limit.

And then when Jojo got an anime, boy oh boy, was everyone excited. So much fucking hype in the sticky. And it was great. The voice acting was great. The art was faithful. But then came the tumblr posting and i literally cant handle going in the threads anymore because of all the obnoxious

Why is it that everytime a manga got an adation, the fanbase go to absolute shit? Is it because of the anime only fags? It is because of the anime only fags right?

>>161017167

But then the naruto mod came and beat the shit out of it and force it out. Nowadays nobody practices self moderating anymore because the, dare i say it, new /a/ got too used to the "if you ignore it then it will go away" mentality, not knowing that it was that same mentality that turned /a/ and /co/ in the shit nest that they are

>>161017167
Doesn't work now because the site is too popular and too many newtards don't know the implicit rules.

>>161017199
Animefags are universally garbage, nothing wrong with anime in it of itself it just attracts the worst shippers, role-players, fanfic writers, fanboys, yaoi hambeasts, cosplays, and faggots (next to furries and sonic fans of course). When something gets adapted to anime good or bad, the fanbase's IQ will drop in multiples of 20.

the sooner you learn this the sooner you'll learn to enjoy yourself.

>>161010055
boku no hero is quite a shitposting fest desu.

>>161017292
/a/ never really considered itself elitists what other boards considered "being elitist/autistic" /a/ considered "not posting like a retard//b/tard" and stopped complaining once they found their own boards full of shitposting and frogposting.

>>161017415
Yeah but it's only in the battle shounen side of things currently. It still has a ways to go before it gets to AoT and Jojo levels.

We did realize it. It worked great during the Silver Age of /a/ (circa 2011 - the death of m00t)
After Hir0, the new mods decided to turn /a/ into a reddit-style enforced-conformity hugbox citing the subjective "high quality posts" and "flames" rules, and started deleting and banning caustic, flippant posts.
