It's a character by Möbius from Heavy Metal. The infographic is saying HM is the most obscure of the bunch.

What exactly is a productive thread anyways. When you see shit like this >>94216616 any thread suddenly becomes worth of anyone who decides to spend time in this hole

>>94221241
Isn't the qualification of being a nerd that you have to be smart? What do a bunch of lame examples of dweeb or geek interests have to do with being nerdy?

Is AoT really that close to spirited away in terms of mainstream popularity?

>>94221241
So weeb = nerd?

>>94221241
Ultranerd here, Moebius was the kind of shit you see when your shit got real.

That and how much you let it consume your life.

I don't have any figurines around the place and only one show's DVDs for instance. Liking anime has very little relevancy on nerdiness.

>>94221612
Makes sense. Miyazaki films, for lack of a better way of putting it, are basically Japanese Disney to the uninitiated, yes? So even schmucks who couldn't care less about Nurutu could vaguely recall scenes from Kiki's Delivery Service or, "The movie with the cat bus". Not only is Attack on Titan massively popular in Japan, apparently it struck a chord to the tune of One Piece and Naruto.
>The first season of the anime was four years ago and the second season only started this April.
Damn.

Everything bar Starwatcher is surface-level nerd culture

>>94221735
I find the word "nerd" has become a buzzword anyways.
I mean, I enjoy stuff like Star Trek, Dr. Who, Pokemon, roman empire history, tabletop RPG, sim games, have a stem degree and work in the field, can laugh about xkcd (if it's not preaching), but I also like martial arts, weightlifting, swimming, have a social life, and enjoy drinking.

And I never understood why it's nerdy to know all Pokemon, but not nerdy to know all game results of a given team since EVER.

>>94221241
Moebius should be a 20 and it would be a fucking honor

>>94221241
That's retarded, it's not even comparing comparable things.
>comic books to sci-fi to anime

>>94221241
>we've reached the point where Marvel is more mainstream than Star Wars
>both are accepted among pretty much everyone now

The nerds have finally won.

>>94221851
We didn't "win". Our interests just got invaded by normies and corporate suits and repurposed into something mainstream. This is what always happens with nerdy hobbies.

>>94221896
Doctor Who and Star Trek are both being pulled quickly in that direction.

>>94221241
What is it with spics and animu?

>>94221896
You mean my glow-in-the-dark fallout toy is just a corporate ploy? Alert the presses.

>>94221241
This is true, but I'd switch Star Trek and Dr. Who. Kind of an abrupt ramp-up in obscurity at the end here.

Exactly. I already had to drop Doctor Who after the first couple episodes of this last series, and I'm fully expecting "Discovery" to be a shitty, design-by-focus-group clusterfuck overrun with unsubtle mainstream political commentary and social justice bullshit.

This is what mainstream media producers do - they find niche shit and they mainstream it, they casualize it, they "modernize" it, and eventually the nerds and dorks who cultivated the interest and market for that stuff are ultimately driven out of their own communities.

It's happening with video games, it's happening with comics, it's happening with sci-fi.

Okay, let's take this in a different direction. Let's rank the few remaining bastions or """nerds."""

>>94222142
Manga with only fanscanlations shouldn't be that low. Most people who read manga gets them off sites like mangafox and don't care how they were translated.

I agree with the rest of the list though

>>94222516
That means stuff which will never get officially translated, though.
Obscure shit lies in that category.

But where does local, non-Japanese "manga" range?
I own some German volumes by David Füleki. Not even most German comic shops carry those.

>>94221241

>Their response will run the gamut of lukewarm interest to downright disdain because, "they're too hard to get into."
As someone who used to read above-average amounts of Marvel as a kid and teenager, I have to say that makes sense. Manga, European and non-Marvel-or-DC American comics are much easier to get into.

>>94221241
>attack on titan
>ahead of star trek and what is assumedly patrician taste in animation

AOT is fucking trash tier in terms of entry level anime

>>94222645
Good point, Euro comics might count different. Probably above indie but below small press? But that's from an American point of view, of course. Or if it's "Meet the creator behind the store he works at to buy a copy of his zine" tier, it might need another entry just above learning japanese. Someone made a color coded chart a while back.

>>94221241
1-4 is the same tier. 5-6 is normie weeb tier. 7 is actually rare but you could top that.

>>94221241
>Attack on Titan and Ghibli are somehow more nerdy than Star Wars, Star Trek, DC, Marvel, Dr Who.

And the Lead Discovery character is Spock's adopted human sister. Who does Vulcan shit better than he did without the stress of being pulled between his two dual nature.

Also straight up written as the most important person in the universe.

And something about how they couldn't swear "Goddam or God Damn" and such because Star Trek Future Earth doesn't have gods. Which actually makes them the odd race out considering every other fucking race believes in a higher power.

The nerdiest thing on there is Moebius and even then he's a popular treasure in France.

>>94221638
As a spic I agree, its the worst of the english community without the good. (I mean statistically there are some good people in it but you get my point). I think part of the reason is how "far" from the source material we usually are.

As for teh dubfights I 100% agree, although dub autism did give us a few good things like some full versions of anime themes sang by the original dub singers.

>>94222052
Well that is kinda accurate. As Doctor Who departed about the time STTNG started to come about and then Star Trek went into the void just as Nu Who came back on the air.

If a person actually knew every game result of a given team ever it would be seen as at least odd, but I get what you mean. The reason is just that one thing is more socially aceptable than the other.

That said, pokemon is being seen as not nerdy (or as "I'm such a nerd XD but not an actual nerd" depending on the person) if you just stick to the first two gens. Recently this guy in my japanese class who actively buys merch and plays the newer pokemon games dissed the competitive scene as too nerd. And he likes freaking pokemon. In the end is a relative thing, like "normie".

Arzach is hardly "nerd", as in, part of popular nerd culture. Sure, you might call it obscure (though I would agree with that, as anything that is referenced in South Park I would safely consider atleast somewhat known), but Heavy Metal or Moebius were never really relevant for the general glasses wearing, sub-par social skills having but still enough to have friends, Star Wars/Trek/Comic Books/Anime/Cartoo/Animated Movies crowd.

>>94225907
Give me ten, pal.

>>94221368
Yeah the whole thing is fucked. Star Wars and Star Trek are at the same level just for different types of Nerd and Ghibli is way more mainstream than even Dr. Who.

>Nothing particularly wrong with that.
You know what, I'd be fine with it if she wasn't played by such a shit actress like Jodie Whittaker.

>>94226072
I'd never heard of her, but yeah I'm not ultra convinced of her ability to play the Doctor. Then again the show has been shit for so long that they made seasons with good actors bad. So who even cares anymore.

I'm not a nerd!

Nerds are smart.

>>94226034
>Nothing particularly wrong with that.
Other than the fact that so far there hasn't been a good reason for it. Timelords have been shown to regenerate into something their subconscious wants. So unless he's got a boytoy this season, there is no reason for him to suddenly switch genders.

>>94226131
Honestly, I still enjoyed it until they got rid of Clara. Nardole is pretty good but Bill is unbearable, she has no personality besides "I'm gay".

>>94226192
Hey, I never watched Doctor Who in my life, but Im still going to ask: What are the rules of regeneration? Does it have to be human? That seems awfully anthropo-/geocentric. Can it be anything? Why did he choose to be an old fart? I once saw a poster with a bunch of doctors and one of them was really old, so that was confusing. Thanks in advance!

Love,
Me.

>>94221314
I feel like liking superhero comics and star trek is about 5 and 2x as autistic respectively as liking Ghibli Movies and Attack on Titan, of all fucking things.

The chart maker is correct that even knowing who Moebius is immediately promotes you to supersperg, however.

>>94225947
That videogames got taken over by suits.
That "reality" shows still exist.
That animation quality is dropping.
That many people can't seem to differentiate between emotion and logic.
That life is more horrible than previously believed.
That there is no true way to have an equal and balanced society until we have matter replicators.
That the greatest innovations will be delayed due to greed.
That even the greatest bastards don't have the vision to reconstruct society into something that doesn't equal more money.
That the internet still has people trying to control it.
That for all the goodness in my life I am still disappointed.

>>94222064
Isn't that what Moffat wanted?

>>94226270
There's a self-imposed limitation on the number of regenerations but that's been bypassed multiple times. Yes it will look human because we look like them; aside from two hearts and possibly some other shit. Time lords do not choose what they regenerate into but how they feel at the time affects it.

>>94226387
Well, Capaldi was having a tantrum and trying to deny reality when we last saw him.

>That many people can't seem to differentiate between emotion and logic.

>>94226420
Did he get drunk and read Alice in Wonderland before regenerating? He seemed someone distraught when regenerating into Matt Smith because he found it effeminate.

>>94226517
Technically he hasn't regenerated yet, as that is coming in the Christmas episode. Currently he is in a snowy place denying his regeneration in front of the "first" Doctor. I do like your idea, but remember that this is the modern day, so he would have to read something empowering.

>The chart maker is correct that even knowing who Moebius is immediately promotes you to supersperg, however.

Maybe nowadays, but there were a lot of average teens back in the 80/90's that learned of Moebius after renting the Heavy Metal movie from their local video store and discovering the magazine it was based off of.

How would you do it if it was just comics?
>1 - Marvel - Spiderman
>2 - DC - Batman
>3 - Image - Spawn
>4 - Darkhorse - Hellboy
>5 - Top Cow - Witchblade
What would you do for 6 & 7?
>6 - Valiant - Bloodshot?
>7 - Soleil Productions - Lanfeust?

At some point put
>IDW - Twilight Sparkle
Between all the edgy looking heroes for a laugh.

Put The Goon near the bottom.

>Lanfeust
Are you trying to trigger Frenchies? It's about as entry level as Astérix and nowhere near it in terms of quality. At least put Thorgal or Metabarons if you insist on putting in some entry Eurocomic at the height of nerddom.

I know, hence why I called it entry level, but nowadays it's at least more obscure than goddamn cash cow Lanfeust, and much better to boot.
Also my dad is a nerd.
