For whatever reason Guilty crown feels like yesterday to me. The other don't though, I remember them as being from a while ago. I think it's in some way because of that cripple pasta.

And I still remember how we managed to fill 700+ thread (remember, bump limit was 200 at the time).

And when last episode aired, whole thread filled in within 5 minutes, after which 4chan crashed.

MORNING RESCUE
Also that big ass tsunami that delayed Madoka for like a month RIGHT AFTER Mami got decapitated

>>161161655
There was also the earthquake after episode 10

You couldn't have done a better job of outing yourself as the redditor to be honest.

>>161161737
He is talking about the earthquake.
There was no problem after episode 3.

Only delay was after episode 10 with the 2011 earthquake/tsunami.

>Samurai flamenco was 3 years ago
>VVV was 3 years ago
Those were the last times we had a good ride that was actually /a/ not /v/ or other cancer taking over making it a fake hype. You could could VDM but it wasn't as much as the others.

>>161161755
I have never even visited reddit so your radar must be broken.
Also, nice damage control

>>161161468
Maybe Geass will bring the good times back, but for all the shows that have been really fun to watch with /a/ I don't feel like any of them have absolutely gripped the entire board the way it sometimes felt.

Fuck's sake the closest thing I can think of is the Re;Zero shitstorm and besides being a nauseating clusterfuck of awful writing and boring direction it wasn't even anime original. What's left? LWA, PriPri? I don't believe the industry is dying for a second with how integrated in mobage and triple-dipping manga/ln profits everything has become... but it feels like exciting new IPs are heading to anime last of all right now.

>>161161468
>Mentioning Guilty Crown as though it holds some importance

>>161161809
Being a redditor is a state of mind, one does not have to visit reddit at all. Anyone who is not a newfag would know that. This completely ignores the fact that you obviously don't know about the popularity of both of these shows when they aired. Shit up some other thread.

>>161161787
I don't know, i remember No Game No Life being quite the hype train on /a/ when it started.

>>161161781
>>161161737
Memory fails me. I was indeed referring to the episode 10 tsunami.

>>161161859
>Re;Zero shitstorm
That was absolutely not /a/ hyping that.

>>161161787
SamFlam and VVV were four years ago, though.

>>161161930
All I remember from those threads is people bitching about how dumb the show is because there's no tension. That seemed more like a show that was only fun during the livestream threads.

>>161161988
Oh god you're right.

>>161161468
>mobile suit gundam was 38 years ago

>>161161468
>What other shows did you watch with /a/ as it aired?
Code Geass Season 1 and R2. It had all forms of shitstorms that the old 4chan system allowed.
- Threads had no image limit.
- No captcha.
- Replies weren't highlighted.
- Same images could be spammed to death.
- No captcha allowed at least 10 shameless hotlink advertisings per thread.
All this "liberty" could make reactions towards a show way bigger than its possible today, fuck, sometimes there 20 Code Geass threads going at the same fucking time.

The new system today definitely owes its reason for existing due /b/'s real pedophilia cases and /a/'s board breaking flood of Code Geass threads.

>>161161468
Out of that list I had the most fun with Psycho Pass and Guilty Crown. The threads were great, funny, original and full of good discussion and original content. What hits me most is that Psycho Pass really is five years ago now, which is crazy. I remember the threads so well, shitting on the QUALITY, dismissing Makishima as a shit villain, everyone adoring Tsunemori, hyper oats.

>>161161873
Like my post says, it's more about the enjoyment of watching a series with /a/. Guilty Crown was a trainwreck of an anime, but watching it along with /a/ was a great experience.

>>161161907
Stop trying this hard, the shows were reddit cancer and only redditors reminisce about them.
See you in the next thread, I hope it's marginally better.

>>161161468
>Psycho-Pass was 5 years ago
STOP

>>161162045
>sometimes there 20 Code Geass threads going at the same fucking time.
Probably way more. We had 20 threads for semi-recent KyoAni threads, like Chuunibyuu.

>>161161970
Yeah, exactly why it's so disappointing to think that it's one of the most recent things to come to mind. At least this thread reminded me that SamFlam and Valvrave existed.

>>161162078
We're reminiscing about watching these shows with /a/. The way you're reacting is why we know you're a newfag.

>>161162078
Alright my man, whatever you gotta tell yourself in order to feel like you're part of the board.

>>161162014
>All I remember from those threads is people bitching about how dumb the show is because there's no tension
That started happening towards the end of the series and was just a bunch of retarded false flaggers trying (and succeeding) in making /a/ hate it by making it into a boogeyman of "reddit the anime". Though, before that happened, a lot of people seemed to have actually love it. Though half of that was because Shiro was an actual loli and not a typical moeblob look alike.

>>161162078

>>161162183

I don't remember too much love for it. Maybe I misremember.

>>161162045
Code Geass really was one of the best rides ever.
So was Lucky Star and even Haruhi Suzumiya.

Anime originals tend to be great to watch with 4chan regardless of quality because everyone is clueless, there's no spoilers.
Even manga adaptions back then usually went off the faithfula daption rails fairly quickly. Nowadays with light novels you might as well just read those instead, the anime are just commercials and more likely than not they'll never catch up to the novels.

>Guilty Crown

Watching Kaiji with /a/ was bittersweet torture, but when that ball finally fucking went in...I don't think I'll ever get that feeling again.

Any recent anime that got the whole of /a/ involved? I'm not on /a/ as much as I used to be, but I miss watching particular shows as a community. I'm probably wrong but it feel like there haven't been many "original" anime like DtB, Psycho-Pass and Guilty Crown. I want another original project where nobody knows what's going to happen.

>>161161859
>and besides being a nauseating clusterfuck of awful writing and boring direction
I never understood this criticism. Can you actually tell me what was so bad about it, you know, give me some examples?

>>161162257
I'm always glad best girl made it into the image.

>Kaiji S2 was 6 years ago
It honestly feels like it was longer ago.

>>161162251
>I don't remember too much love for it
It was their, again, just buried underneath a shit ton of false flags. Hell, the one thing that blew up the most was the Rock Paper Scissors game.

For some reason this one really hurts and I didn't even like the show.

>>161162486
I was forced to take a break from /a/ exactly during that time. The worst part was hearing about the earthquake and having no idea how bad the damage was to anime and manga.

>>161162378
I'm personally not into Trigger's work. I didn't really enjoy Kill la Kill or Little Witch Academia. Who knows though, I might like their next outing, it's a good studio, and their stuff is always popular on /a/.

>>161162434
>Speaking of which, CG S3 is somewhat around the corner.
That'll definitely be a big event on here.

Still, I just hope something original will get produced soon. Original series are always so much more fun because it's not based on a manga a LN so you have no idea where it's going, which makes discussions so much more fun.

>>161162378
Trigger is a terrible company. They have made nothing good.

I watched this because I started browsing /a/ and I had never seen a board so united in anger about a fictional character. Rossiu truly pulled the most dick move of dick moves.

>>161162633
No. That is because of Rebellion.

>>161162270
You might want to go watch it just to experience it yourself. When you get to the arc-sized detour of having a shounen battle with a flying whale you might see what I mean, but before that there's the author springing the queen selection onto the plot as a major point without doing any worldbuilding beforehand, leading to the contestants all being caricatures and archetypes of what might have been characters. This might have been okay if they were fleshed out after the fact, but by the point of the anime ending one of them has already 'died' off screen and the others are more or less on MC's team until drama requires that they are not. Before that, the amount to which characters fluctuate from one episode to the next may just be a result of extreme compression from one medium to the other, but it's handled incredibly poorly and weighs the anime down with this sense that Subaru is just doing what the fuck ever this week, any sense of progression or development of his character is lost as he quotes Touma near verbatim one week, gets variably proud of his weakness the next, and spends the one after sulking about the same detail.

Petelgeuse is everything wrong with Japan's understanding of villains and the way you can tell it wasn't /a/ shilling for Re;Zero is the number of people jerking off to what a 'great and refreshing' villain he was.

Nothing comes close to 16/17 MAGA normie invasion from r/the_donald.
If you see post like "lmao wtf are how can you be virgin after 16" or various halo/cod nostalgia threads(/v/) then it's 99% reddit fag.

You're part of the problem faggot.

With the current state of /a/, I doubt a "shitstorm" like the days of old can be achieved.
Sure, some people might try to replicate having the front page loaded with pictures of a certain show, but I'm sure as hell the moderation staff will start banning any duplicate threads.
And speaking of the front page, most people rarely use it anymore because now the catalog is the go-to page for most people, that's usually people who post in a single general and never bother lurking outside of it.
But be my guest and try, see how long until mods start enforcing a general for any given "shitstorm" that may happen, that is if they let it happen at all.

I don't know for sure, but somewhere in September or October Overlord S2 and a new tome(actually, two) of the light novel would be released.
Hopefully, our resident LN translator would pick up this project as he did before.
Last time it happened, he had been releasing a moderate-sized piece of the LN every day at the fixed time.
I can't remember when we had less than two threads going over bumplimit every day. Average would probably be three.
It's certainly not the over-the-top hype, but that's something.
