Be honest, Anon Babble. How boring is your taste in anime?
Be honest, Anon Babble. How boring is your taste in anime?
Hellsing
Really? It's such a silly series, I like it.
do you want an answer?
isn't it funny that there's only one iyashikei on this chart? that says a lot about this pic, obvious troll is obvious
That image is too old to reflect today's pretentious semi-normalfag. Who the fuck still overrates k-on anymore???
I see 10 shows here that I like, everything else is shit, so kind of boring I guess.
one
Aria, Mushishi, Haibane Renmei. Which of those three is the one you're talking about?
There's a lot of people that still consider K-ON the best cgdct anime. And they always have never seen Hidamari Sketch. As a Hidamari Sketch fan it is saddening.
Bingo on the second column what do I win
A (you)
You know that thing people like?
Its bad actually!
No, I'm not gonna elaborate.
I don't have edgy taste
popular=/=bad
obscure=/=good
yes I know its a very hard pill to swallow for some of you
I feel special for loving S;G because everyone here insults it.
Lurk more.
Name a good popular show
Fabulous bait.
Everyone here was dickriding it when it came out, so no, you're not special.
Yeah because it sucks.
Naruto
You don't know what iyashikei is, stop regurgitating buzzwords
No. As a matter of fact, I actually have the most interesting taste on Anon Babble right now.
The only one I truly hate is Lain.
these are the only anime worth watching in all honesty
Yeah that's the whole point of this ragebait troll thread and covert recommendation thread.
Dandy
What is this asshole's (OP)'s problem?
Aria
These are all good shows I’m going to take the ones I haven’t seen as suggestions I bet you like actual boring anime like frieren
Excluding monogatari that’s just Pedro trash
99% of anime fans have never seen a show or movie that was made more than 10 years ago and have no interest in ever doing so, other than dbz or one piece. 99% of anime fans would not be able to even tell you the title of half of these in the OP.
It's like saying one has boring taste for enjoying the same 100 books/stories that dominate "Best of Western Civ's Canon" lists.
Does anyone unironically like Texhnolyze?
Literally every single person who likes anime has watched Death Note
I always watch the first episode & then fail to commit & im a fan of old head shit like space battleship Yamato & 0079
a few good shows in this chart
dude actually didn't see them
What a weird own.
What are the good ones?
this chart is all safe choices. stuff you can say you like on Anon Babble without getting roasted. the list of a coward.
I've see all of these but only genuinely enjoyed like 5 of them. Many of these shows I will dismiss a person completely if they say they like them, like any opinion they could ever hold in the future would be invalidated to me. Can you stop posting this retarded chart now? It's been years.
I still refuse to believe anybody that says Mushishi is good.
This but lain
can’t even say the ones he likes on a list of safe choices
Lmao coward
Go watch your shitty elf show
It's genuinely crazy how shaft filters dumb tourists to this day
Aria
Patlabor
CCS
NHK
I think they're both good from an artistic perspective but not any fun to watch. if someone names them as one of their favorites it's probably because they're a pretentious faggot trying to look like a patrician and lying to you and themselves.
NHK
This is one of those shows where if a person likes it you should never EVER listen to that person
At least none of these are isekai or have otaku protagonists or incest love interests. If your tastes include RE:Zero, Konosuba, SAO or Overly Long Title That Summarizes The Whole Premise of the Anime, then may God yet save your soul.
Really?
Can a grown ass man enjoy this?
At least none of these are isekai
FMA is right there dude
Frieren is a safe pick tho, just too recent to be on the list.
Pedro trash
Rezero owns everything in this list though.
so this chart isn't even saying the shows are bad is it?
it's basically another form of popular=bad
They're safe, essential anime. You are supposed to watch all of them at some point, if you're genuinely interested in the medium. Watch picrel next if you're lost.
watamote
Nope, into the trash you go
boogie pop
champloo
watamote
diebuster
keaton/hound
the ugly contrarian version of hxh
I would not even talk to you for 5 seconds
doesn’t like champloo
Your right about the rest of them but that one strike completely destroys your credibility
You're an enormous faggot
And twice the man you’ll ever be
Champloo is good you nigger. (other than the ending)
It's a better choice than bocchi the troon.
bocchi is redditcore. watamote is actual trash that was only good for memes.
No it ain't toonami kid
God live a little life the ending is fantastic
Picrel
the final fight and conclusion to the main story arc was fine. I was just very salty that they all split up at the end for no reason
Mugen & Jin both had woman they wanted to be with I interpreted it as them going off to look for them and fu herself maturing into some independence
okay let me stop you right there
Jin had a woman yes, it made sense for him to go after her.
Mugen had some hoe whose name he doesn't know who thinks she's going to marry him and he probably already forgot about her. unless you're talking about the pirate girl in which case lol lmao. he has no commitments.
Fuu gets kidnapped any time she's alone for 10 minutes and cannot be left on her own, leaving her to wander off by herself and thinking she'll be fine is literally full retard.
Sucks to suck I didn’t see it that way
stealth rec thread? stealth rec thread.
Only underage and insecure care what other people think of your personal taste. Specially regarding anime. You have got to be some special kind of wimp to be nervous about what other anime fans think of you. While a few are OK, the great majority are young morons.
What the fuck they made a club penguin anime?
posts the biggest piece of ironic weeb slop ever made
You're just proving his point. I hope you get over your weird insecurity.
the characters are actually advertising mascots of the Japanese beer company Suntory. There are a few scenes in the movie where the penguins go to a bar/cabaret but I think the extent of product placement is negligible or nonexistent. Its actually a very heartfelt movie about finding meaning in your life, loving understanding from others, chasing your dreams, while dealing with PTSD from Vietnam. Also its a musical.
This is just a western cartoon drawn in calarts. Might as well say your favorite anime is Steven Universe.
I mean most of those are simply good anime
I suspect this chart wasn't made in good faith
My favorite animes are Violet Evergarden and Girls Last Tour my most anticipated anime this year is CITY THE ANIMATION :3c
Okay
Why do people with the absolute worst taste constantly get filtered by SHAFT? How can someone so absolutely confident in liking garbage have not seen a single episode of a SHAFT anime? And you just know this is the absolute extent of every anime this guy has ever seen because he's got shit like FRANX and konosuba on there.
You'll never see something like Sentou Yousei Yukikaze or VOTOMS in threads like these for a very good reason.
KnK, G-Reco, Yes Precure+GoGo, Symphogear, Votoms, Sangatsu no Lion
dunno, how boring am I?
Oh so it’s kind of like it’s such a beautiful day
avatarfag detected, opinion discarded
I dunno nigga, this seems like the only decent one to me And you'll never see stuff like iruma-kun and non non biyori praised either. I mean, we're talking FRANX here. Imagine how low standards are. Like there's a certain type of anime that'll totally slip unded the poseur irony weeb's radar and I can smell these dudes from a mile away.
get a trip already, you obnoxious faggot
You got terminal shit taste, nigga. It's hopeless.
Scared internet strangers will criticize your favorite chinese cartoons?
Isn't that exactly what this image is?
this image is so 2010 lmao
and you should watch more anime instead of name-dropping shaft or votoms
Calling the og thick outline CN style the calarts style is extremely retarded
Die
Name-dropping? Excuse me? The meaning of a chart isn't just your favorite anime, the greater meaning is what *isn't* on it, and that tells me A LOT about you.
og thick outline CN style
This isn't helping your case at all. Keep it up and maybe we can kill this shit anime off before the next season.
Oh I don’t like panty & stocking you’re just fucking stupid
Not to pile it on, but this is a pretty unholy chart.
No one likes shaft unironically.
this seems like the only decent one to me
thanks homie
Iruma-kun
Oh I totally forgot to add Pripara to my list.(which Moriwaki also directed)
I am very skeptical of this comment
cgi
Steins;Gate is a 6/10 anime that everyone treats like a 10/10.
reddit frog
my taste is pretty high level. it might be too advanced for simpletons to understand.
Bingo! I'm boring :D
Should I watch K-On! or Monster next?
i see study boy i respect
lol
Why is it when people get into the obscure shit they get into the pedo waifu Shit?
I appreciate the mecha tho
pedo waifu Shit
this is an otaku website, why are you even here
It's like saying one has boring taste for enjoying the same 100 books/stories that dominate "Best of Western Civ's Canon" lists.
Most people with good taste would enjoy some of those books, that's why they're so critically acclaimed.
I will only give you a pass because of strike witches
For giant robots cool fight scenes drawing inspo and pretty boys
another bait thread
where is To heart2
idiots would rather discuss their baits than watch anime
Lol
why is it that people like op tend to have taste like this?
The North Pole one is good
should I watch mushoku tensei
Bait. Real boring taste is moeslop or isekaislop. My dress up darling and Mushoku Tensei and Blue Box and that garbo
You'll never see something like Sentou Yousei Yukikaze or VOTOMS in threads like these
I don't watch moeslop
Yes, is a master Piece.
Who are you even supposed to identify with or relate to when watching yuri?
Strike Witches
Based
That and MAL-core slop like Steins;Gate and SnK. OP's image is just complaining over nothing.
Fuck off, we're full.
That and MAL-core slop
That's OP's entire image.
You're just a deflecting FMA/Steins/SnK tard that feels the need to shit on anime like Ashita no Joe to make yourself look good. I know a bait image when I see one.
FMAB and S;G is better than ANJ.
Sure anon, sure.
No, you're a coping retard that exists in a lower dimension than I do.
Not only did I enjoy Darling in the Franx, but I thought the twist ending was amazing. I like stories that have a good set of morals (lifelong hetero monogamy and childrearing, and environmentalism from renewable energy sources). The girls were sexy too, especially knowing that they were raised by the govt from birth to be tradwives who take their husband's cum doggystyle.
filtered by a sense of contrarianism as a coping mechanism for your insecurities.
Onimai gif
I will dismiss a person completely if they say they like them
Please tell me you're just trolling.
hidamari doesn't have the soothing effect that cgdct is meant to have.
you guys seriously say shit like this and then throw a melty when people don't care about ai. enjoy your "new" anime animated entirely by ai and indians and "corrected" by a Japanese here and there.
avatarfags as a troon
What do you think?
Dragon Ball Z
I geniunely don't get why s;g is considered reddit when every other dialogue placates 4tran and board culture in some way. You don't see this same vitriol applied to P - for example. I believe it is simply a popularity issue.
type of faggot to skip patlabor ova & tv and only watch patlabor movie 2. FUCK YOU.
Yamato & 0079 are severely ahead of their time and absurdly watchable.
Diebuster was better than Gunbuster
Keaton was better than Monster
Patlabor TV was better than Patlabor movie 2
Togashi's scribbles are better than any hxh anime
Few know this.
Leave your bubble, normalfags are still reccomending CB, FMAB and TTGL to other normalfags.
Not even watanabe sycophants like Champloo. Who are you trying to fool here?
I genuinely don’t mind if someone has different taste than me if they can hold a conversation and aren’t either a normalfag who shuts their brain off at elements they find uncomfortable or an autistic elitist fag who shuts their brain off at anything they don’t think is “refined” enough.
The difference is they consider these retro and the origin myth for modern anime rather than a mashup or direct ripoff of things that came before them like in the case with ttgl
the endgame of these contr/a/rians is forcing themselves to watch non mahou shoujo/utena/dezaki shoujo or god forbid josei to "own the plebs"
I’ve seen unironic descent into kodomo to own the plebs. Actual obscurity junkies are cool but the people who make it about status are lame.
Elitists don’t actually like anime. They either once liked it and grew into jaded old fucks or were always tourists who only watch the same few shows that make them feel like a big boy. They get off to how much anime they hate. Anti-fans.
I like stories that have a good set of morals
You don't even know what good morals are, you are just a baby.
As opposed to people who just watch seasonal to fit in and don't care about actual quality?
Intermediates are obsessed with appearing intelligent, so to them they value “discernment” over anything else. The early stage intermediate is usually a letterboxd cinephile that has wandered into anime looking for (as they put it) the “cream of the crop”. The mid stage of the intermediate will have generic 3X3 taste, but consider themselves far above most anime fans. The intermediate’s ultimate end is to consider themselves “Patrician” or “Elite”. You’ll know they’re there when they say “there’s no more good anime to watch”. You’ll usually find them jerking off about Dezaki or Belldonna of Sadness. The “midwit” (or intermediate as I call them) typically graduates to one of three forms:
1. The Dumpster Diver: This is when the intermediate becomes an obscurity junkie, looking for more and more rare trash to bolster their cred as “a patrician among patricians”. This is what is known as “peak midwit”. You’ll recognize them when they reference Minna no Uta shorts or other such forgotten things.
2. The genre specialist: These kinds of anime fans tend to focus on one subset of anime in particular. Usually mecha or magical girl, and they’ll dive into whatever exists in that space and attempt to master it. Occasionally you’ll see decadefags or mediumfags (ie. Only films, only OVAs, etc.). The rarest of these are Kodomofags.
3. The enlightened. This is when an intermediate returns to a love of anime, the kind you can have when your taste wasn’t so discerning. A true expert. You’ll find these people when they mention Utena and Blugeoning Angel Dokuro Chan in the same breath. These people have found a way to love anime despite its flaws, just like newfags, but with the experience to truly appreciate what they watch at the highest level.
Beginner: Discovery
Intermediate: Discernment
Expert: Appreciation
When confronted with these facts, the intermediate will usually lash out (Consoomer! No life! Etc.)
iruma-kun
absolute king shit
youtu.be
its hilarious to me that nostalgiafags avoid it because of its initial appearance despite being an anime that looks, acts, and sounds like it was pulled straight from 20 years ago
my post from years ago became copypasta
Don’t know if I like that
I was shocked at Iruma. It looks like shit and the animation is crappy but I liked it it was a good series
the origin myth for modern anime rather than a mashup or direct ripoff of things that came before them like in the case with ttgl
That has been a thing since '07.
People just don't care about Getter bro.
I'm being 100% honest which is rare as fuck
Point to the past work that invalidates TTGL as something to appreciate. You can’t.
Good anime... BAD
What causes this retardation?
it's the subjectivefags.
That's why we should have never opened that can of worms as a species.
Watch more anime, honesty anon.
Late stage of 3x3faggotry. 3x3 was and has always been a stealth recommendation thread template with dignity because at least you have to lurk a little bit to recognize the image.
What happened is the popular stuff kept appearing in people’s 3x3s, either modern popular or classics, so people who got tired of seeing the same 50 anime recommended over and over started calling it boring, and then the monkey see monkey do process took over and now there are people here who disparage these classics.
The problem is that TTGL is objectively way, way worse than getter.
How boring is your taste in anime?
People watch anime to impress other people?
Neither, watch Pingpong and Lain
You’d be surprised. The “patrician” class are very concerned with appearances and “their valuable time”. Similar to normalfags.
wew lad terrible taste
It’s objectively different than Getter, and you like what Getter was doing more.
Too much white people anime.
I can't relate.
do we have Asian version?
Yes? Don't tell me you never hit a girl with your knowledge of Five Star Stories? lmao loser
Some pretty good anime is on this but none of my top 10 so I am safe.
Aren't bingos supposed to have an odd number of rows and columns?
It’s objectively different than Getter
No, its just a sterile version of getter with big chunks of cool shit cut out because it was too edgy. It even has the same plot except the roles of protag and antag are slightly reversed (but only in the beginning) even the whole TTGL ending retards masturbate over was ripped straight from getter, which did it better anyways.
retard
*chu*
These books are good, but at the same time, you'd expect them to know one or other book outside the list that they personally like. That is interesting, non-forced taste.
K-On if you are otakubrained enough to like cute girl shows, if not you might want to ease your way into it with slower “more artful” fare like Aria or YKK, or with a hybrid show like Gakkou Gurashi or a sillier gag show like Azumanga Daioh.
Monster if you can handle 00s cheapness.
k-on
otaku-brained
Huh?????????????????????
You watch K-On because you obsess over the cute girls and/or you like healing shows that are comfortable and fluffy. If you have no experience with either you may find it gay or boring.
healing shows
k-on isnt a "healing" anime. its just a generic ass girl band anime and its not even close to being exclusively an otaku thing. i have no idea why some retard has been throwing iyashikei around so liberally lately, did some eceleb make a youtube video or something?
Watch Bocchi, it's K-on but new and better.
It’s not a healing show
I disagree. It falls squarely in the fluffy moe boom of the time, the band stuff is an additional element. It’s not purely sitting around and drinking tea but a lot of the appeal is cute girl comfort.
Eceleb
I wouldn’t know I don’t pay attention to that shit
I like both for different reasons. Newer isn’t a plus or minus.
fluffy moe boom
Iyashikei isn't focused on characters or plot, that's the point. K-On is.
Newer is better in this case. K-on's artstyle aged poorly. they all look inbred retards compared to modern anime girls.
I hit women so no I can't relate loser.
OK, but what about interesting taste bingo?
i don't mind the artstyle it's the fact that nothing happens in k-on that's the problem
I hate definitional arguments because your next move will be to discredit any evidence presented because you’ve already made up your mind, but okay here’s the effort post.
en.www.wikipedia.org
wccls.bibliocommons.com
detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp
Seeing K-on as a healing show isn’t new and isn’t some modern eceleb take. CGDCT is regularly associated with it.
Fucked the first link but you get the idea.
wikipedia.org
They look very cute and older artstyles have appeal.
Anon, when you link wikipedia you have to check references. Wikipedia isn't a source. Ironically, your last link, the only japanese one, is a bunch of random japanese people commenting that it isn't iyashikei.
effort post
links wikipedia
lol
U149 is better directed than 95% of what's in OP's image. Jus' sayin'. And Gochiusa has more SOVL.
See? Exactly. False explanation of the japanese link (in which they discuss that it’s up to interpretation, but could be seen that way) and sees wikipedia, discredits (even though Wikipedia is a good source for my point, that AS A GENERAL SENTIMENT the classification in the minds of some exists).
This is why definition arguments are stupid. It’s Loki’s Wager all the way down. Okay, whatever. Nitpick whatever you want.
posting links is an effort post in 2025
Anon, you can't read japanese and accidentally linked a 13 year old yahoo page with japanese people saying you're wrong.
That’s not what it says, if you had just a smidge of good faith in your body you’d be able to admit that. Whatever, it’s fine.
i'm 38 years old. i've liked anime since i was 12 years old. i have not seen a single episode of death note.
Did you read the manga?
no. i have never had any interest in death note.
Interesting. Do you have hyper specific genre/time period taste, or is there something about it specifically that made you say no thanks?
eh i like a lot of different types of anime from all periods and it's just outside of anything i'm interested in. it never grabbed my attention or looked appealing to me in any way.
You like action and girls, based in my book.
Based and true
Sorry kids but watching only anime isn't enough to talk about tastes.
Enjoy your vacation.
IMO, series like Aria and Haibane Renmei are very good when you watch them at the right time, weather and mood.
NHK is also watchable if you NEET with a life crisis. Plus, 2000s culture (VN, anime, old internet etc.)
Lain, well. I like HR more than SEL because Lain feels like an actual experiment, even the author can't elaborate what meaning he put into it.
Texhnolyze. I never liked this one, but the series did a good job of showing how shitty and hollow the underground and surface city was.
CCS. It's just CLAMP, nuff said.
Too lazy to proceed.
It's a good post. You should be proud of it.
I hope this is bait, if not you'd be way happier elsewhere
NHK is also watchable if you NEET with a life crisis
It's actually a really poor representation of what being a hikki is like, because it's based on the authors experiences as a mentally ill drug addict with an equally mentally ill gf.
K-On is better than Hidamari Sketch, though - it has superior characters, setting, and a much more touching ending. Not that Hidamari is bad or anything, it’s a solid 8/10 in my eyes (S3 is easily a 9/10), but K-On wins when it comes to comfiness and emotional highs.
has superior characters, setting, and a much more touching ending
I dropped k-on after 3 episodes and never watched anything by kyoani again
Begging to be let go doesn't work when you immediately come back and start making stupid posts again.
I'll be honest i never watched hidamari since it just dosen't look appealing enough to me
obnoxious protag
haremshit
time-travel plot
"I am mad scientist. It's so coooool! Sonuvabitch! XD"
It's as reddit as it gets.
Somewhat based but I would rid of Watchmen and add Sandman instead
That's why I used "NEET" instead of "hikikomori".
I hope this is bait
How can you talk about taste when you can't even recognize Red October references in SoL manga? Or other inspirations from movies, books, comics vns and video games you see in anime and manga?
Haha the joke is that OP put the most popular works in his pic and called them boring haha
But in this case being a "NEET" is the equivalent of being a pavement ape living in a section 8, and if you find that relatable, well then, just lol get out of here
I didn’t beg to be “let go”, I was annoyed by the stupid conversation that went exactly as I knew it would. Whatever you think it is I posted next, you’re incorrect.
Anon, you did something severely stupid. You need to lurk AT LEAST 10 years longer before you consider ever posting again and I'm being 100% seserious. Next time someone is being mean to you, remember that you completely deserve it and your presence here is disrespectful.
2010s (at best) newfag is telling me to get out
Cute
You have shit taste in literally every aspect of media you consume. If I had to guess your age I'd say you were about 13 years old.
Did you panic and quote the wrong post here?
This list is ridiculous. Many of these are very basic and normalfag level shows that most people even just getting into anime have watched. I'm surprised CSM or Mob Psycho isn't on it.
Also, what kind of Bingo card has six rows and columns?
You have shit taste in literally every aspect of media you consume
Factorially wrong. Sorry, brother, but you're not authorized to post about tastes here. You have to learn to walk before you can run.
You did something stupid
Engaging in a definitional argument was stupid, but I’ve forgiven myself for it. Otherwise, no issue with my behavior. What I assume you’re referring to is just flat out incorrect on your part.
Lurk moar
No need, I’ve far exceeded 10 years here.
Mean
Mean isn’t a problem, boring posters who treat conversations like a game to win are mildly annoying. They’d much rather score a (personally assigned) point over anything else.
I deserve it
Not really.
My presence here is disrespectful
Definitely not.
I’m not sure what you think you’re doing but you failed.
You have dostoevsky and ponies on there, you are literally a dumb teen.
You guys start shitting on famous classics just to appear trendy and different with your "even more refined taste" is just going to attract retarded hood weebs who think Solo Levelling deserves any awards. You need to be a certified faggot to shit on someone who likes Legend of the Galactic Heroes just to appear "different" and "mysterious", this shit is female behaviour and is going to attract the most illiterate of retards
No need, I’ve far exceeded 10 years here.
Need to give it another 10 and try again. Your presence here isn't positive. Linking Wikipedia and calling it effort posting, and then incorrectly linking a Japanese discussion countering the very thing you were arguing, and being a kyoani nigger in general, shows your presence here is likely inflicting an suffocating malaise over the board. It would be better for everyone if you never posted again.
LoGH is space opera schlock that underages act like is some sophisticated war drama because they have barely seen any war anime and their biases have been colored by the crappy media reddit charts instructed them to watch. It will take years to break the conditioning, because of this its very easy to gauge what stage of development someone is in. Like posts like this tell me you have very little interest in manga and anime and have many years to go before you can meaningfully contribute to discussion.
You have dostoevsky
One of the greatest writers of all time yeah.
Ah, you’re angry at Kyoani and transferring that on to me. That explains the bad faith and angryposting. Who am I dealing with, a manimefag? Maybe just a dbs poster. I like all kinds of anime, but as a fan of hating anime you wouldn’t get that. Truly, and I mean this, the worst kind of poster here is you.
My position in regard to Dostoyevsky is a curious and difficult one. In all my courses I approach literature from the only point of view that literature interests me - namely the point of view of enduring art and individual genius. From this point of view Dostoyevsky is not a great writer, but a rather mediocre one - with flashes of excellent humor, but, alas, with wastelands of literary platitudes in between. In ''Crime and Punishment'' Raskolnikov for some reason or other kills an old female pawnbroker and her sister. Justice in the shape of an inexorable police officer closes slowly in on him until in the end he is driven to a public confession, and through the love of a noble prostitute he is brought to a spiritual regeneration that did not seem as incredibly banal in 1866 when the book was written as it does now when noble prostitutes are apt to be received a little cynically by experienced readers. My difficulty, however, is that not all the readers to whom I talk in this or other classes are experienced. A good third, I should say, do not know the difference between real literature and pseudoliterature, and to such readers Dostoyevsky may seem more important and more artistic than such trash as our American historical novels or things called ''From Here to Eternity'' and suchlike balderdash.
Different anon, you're definitely a retard and need to stop.
NTA
Maybe, maybe not. Not gonna stop.
Keep suffering then, because you're obviously never going to improve until you take a step back and realize how retarded you are.
The amount of cope here is virtually endless.

Yes because Solo Levelling is kino. Honest to the bone show for men without any pseud nonsenses. Conan of our generation. No, Odyssey of our generation.
Anon shitting on anything is easy and they’re addicted to attention and perceived status gains. You can make anything sound bad with just a trivial amount of effort. You can’t reason them out of this mindset.
Anon shitting on anything is easy
It's easy when the dumbass praising it is a complete retard who doesn't think about what they consume and is just absent minded lying plowing through a rec chart. It's really, really easy in those cases. And deserved.
You must defend what you like from a constant onslaught of people who’s core complaint revolves around what it isn’t rather than what it is, or you’re not allowed to like it
Dumb. Fans give better criticism, non fans go to the cake store and whine about there not being any ice cream.
You must defend what you like
Well yeah, I'm prepared to defend anything I like for literal hours on end. Otherwise it wouldn't be a "favorite" and I'd have no reason to discuss it. It you just want updoots and validation go somewhere else.
All your crowd wants to do is give downdoots, and you seek validation through negative attention.
No, it’s weird for a fan to be entertained by somebody who’s asking you to explain a joke they don’t get, with the intention not to laugh. That’s as much of a discussion as you can have with a brick wall.
For the past 10 years, the only anime and or manga i have consumed is Dragon Ball.
Not a joke.
Unironically this was a massive quality of life improvement so i would say my taste in anime is 10/10
I've watched a lot of recommended anime as of late, but I really struggle to make a 3x3 chart. Every anime I watch is really good one way or another, so I have a hard time selecting few to my Top 9.
Currently I have only three anime that I consider as my all-time favourites. From this list, Haibane Renmei is one of them
Like too many anime
There are far worse problems, nice.
All your crowd wants to do is give downdoots
No, you're too busy spamming the board with retarded things and seeking easy validation that you can't see people actually discussing things.
Actual discussion rarely arises from a “this is shit, actually” poster. I don’t care about validation hardly at all (the social component of media appreciation is by far the least relevant to me). I’ve heard every takedown of the many things I like that you can possibly hear, fans give the best takes, non-fans do it the worst. I lurk here for perspectives, and occasionally post on an interesting topic. Practically never starting threads, absolutely never spamming. So, you’ve got me pegged wrong.
Actual discussion rarely arises from a “this is shit, actually” poster
Yeah because the thing they are calling shit is usually shit. Because a lot of shit gets posted these days. People just search for what they want to hear and because of this crumble under criticism. If an anime is great it shouldn't implode under the slightest bit of criticism. That's a bad anime.
It’s not the people, nor the anime that crumble, but rather, the board and its culture. As more and more of your kind have set up shop here, the average sentiment of the board averages to cinemasins-tier nitpicky autism, the aforementioned brick wall “discussions” that go nowhere, and hit and run shitposting about whatever perceived flaw you think the world needs to know about today. The best threads ignore most of you people, but that’s still wading through all the whinging about a medium you supposedly like enough to post about regularly.
You want to know why generals have emerged? It’s because the common culture of the board is, that any anime you can bring up “sucks, actually”. You’ve created the “hugboxes” you claim to hate. Fragmentation is necessary when everything sucks besides Yotsuba.
There’s nothing wrong with a hot take or a negative post from fan to fan, but the percentage of anti-fans here is huge. You’re not an arbiter of justice creating real discussion, you’re not even a proper gatekeeper, because your kind would have shat all over what the board commonly appreciated in the 00s. You’re just attentionfarming.
Gainaxslops is the opposite of boring
Boring taste not boring anime. Yes it’s a stupid complaint, like over or under rated.
As more and more of your kind have set up shop here
Anon, I've been here since 2005
let me guess.. you need more?
Alright, so you’re the aging jaded type, that’s plenty of you. The most active anti-fans tend to be aging fans, because they can talk the talk and have enough experience to hate more effectively. Stuck between not being able to let go and the loss of what made you a fan in the first place.
The other common types are wannabe Roger Eberts, and monkeybranchers from film criticism (or simply watched too many nitpicky millennial youtube critics), usually. And now there’s emerged another type, the newfags that emulate the anti-fans because monkey see monkey do, that’s how people post here right?
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in finding more things you like. The aging jaded type is not a fun place to be.
Fragmentation is necessary when everything sucks
Everything you like sucks. Which is why the biggest generals are for the worst anime.
everyone on Anon Babble hates one piece so I have to go sit inside an echo chamber and be embarrassed to admit I like it outside my general and just stealthily shit up the rest of the board
It's like that now. That's what Anon Babble is. Unwanted generals shitting up the rest of the board and rendering the rest of it useless. Constant generals on dying shonen IPs even normalfags dont like, every manga being "storytimed" is total ass, you look back like 5 years and no one even replied to these stupid things and now their full of rabid samefags, and you have an awful cycle of "I'm watching X for the first time, what did I think of it" and "im bored what anime on this shitty chart should i watch" Anon Babbleeddit tier threads that all the retards these threads brought here constantly make. Get real, you people are shit eaters who crave nothing but shit and exist to undermine those with actual interests. Your mind is ugly and you can't be alone with your thoughts so you post stupid shit all day and constantly look for outside assurance and direction from anyone who will praise you. God forbid you actually have to stand on your own two feet alone for once.
And another thing, what kind of absolute retard thinks "k-on has deeper characters than hidamari" when it's just vacuous sea slugs wearing human skin awkwardly touching each other's butts and acting ditzy versus a profound case study on developing indepence and maturity. Literally every single K-on girl is such a retard they would survive for like 2 days tops in the Hidamari building then just starve to death or get hit by oncoming traffic while crossing the street without someone to hold their hand. Good lord.
Everything you like sucks
If that were true, odds are you like things that “suck”.
I hate generals
You people created the fragmentation you hate. Precisely by posting in this way about everything, and no, not just whatever shonen you want to bring up, I mean everything.
You post stupid shit all day/want validation
Nope, see:
And for my final trick, I’ll have to use /that/:
desuarchive.org
I was right you’re absolutely just fuming over kyoani because K-on was mentioned in a semi-positive light. A studiowarring shaftfag.

Then bumping a shit thread, truly our pleb filtering hero.
typing like a retard (millenial)
Ö
Shoegaze makes this bait spicy.
you're arguing with faggot contr/a/rians who will sit down to watch hours of josei slop just to appear more refined. these people are beyond subhuman.
Most of those are shit or mediocre
I don’t mind fans of Josei if they actually like Josei, for other reasons than just “I’m a fan of Josei I bet you don’t even know what that is pleb”.
Nah, CGDCT was never meant to be retarded junkfood. That's why Non Non Biyori is structured like a natgeo documentary but with rural Japanese girls instead of being vapid yuribait with retards playing grabass.
Get a trip, attention seeking faggot. Your mommy did not give you enough headpats as a child, so now you try to cope by avatarfagging on anime website centered around anonymous discussion?
I don't mind josei fans if they are organically part of the target audience and not self hating men.
You may qualify for gibs if you have a mental disability. Might be worth looking into. You're clearly already so asshurt that you had to attempt to "stalk" me and once again fucked up. I go to bed for 6 hours and you're still in here making a total fool of yourself.
Nah. Unexpected target audiences is how we got otaku and a lot of good anime. You can like stuff aimed at women if you wanna, I’m not some policing normalfag.
I don't mind josei fans
I sure mind them, they are quite literally retarded and don't understand what they watch and read is garbage.
The whole "everyone except for me is a phony" beat is literally the poster child for sophomoric thinking.
This is Anon Babble and THIS type of thread ergo not a single person who likes josei here is doing it out of goodwill. Every thread like this is brigaded by people ashamed that they are able to be put on a silly image and mocked ergo they become the mockers themselves to fit in. Some people take it to the extreme by removing from their tastes anything meant to appeal to men (for example utena, mahou-shoujo like ccs, or shoujo by dezaki all fall under "male safe"). Becoming a josei shitter is the last stage of being a contr/a/rian short of citing random non anime related novels.
U mad, u bad
Awesome, you posted a text wojak. Very insightful.
Fucked up
Nope.
6 hours
I wasn’t here 6 hours ago.
Avatarfagging
Truly the best and brightest this board has to offer.
well yeah but they never come onto Anon Babble. hence i am attacking Anon Babble based josei fans who are all male or crybully women.
I wasn’t here 6 hours ago
Just from this post alone I can see you've been in here for at least 3 hours seething nonstop, but nah, I'm pretty confident you've been trying to cover your ass this whole time.
I don’t know where anon got my post from a few years ago to copypasta here, but I would definitely write it differently today. Still, I’m curious what you meant by this? Can you elaborate?
3 hours
That’s about right.
Seething
Not even a little bit.
Cover your ass
Nope, just some light sparring to pass the time.
What an obnoxious faggot
What a shit anime onimai must be if those are it's fans
If you judge things by their fans, then truly everything is actually shit.
That’s about right.
Let's look back farther.
At least 4 hours and 30 minutes here.
wasn't me
No one else made that retarded wojak post. So honestly I think 6+hours is a pretty good estimate since 4 and half hours is clearly the bare minimum and you've been replying to every post within a timespan of like 5 minutes. So that's about 6+ hours of angrily slamming the F5 key.
Don't watch it anon, it's a trap!
youtu.be
hey dude if you are truly so superior and your interests are then why are you still here?
No, that was me. Not even my first post either. I have not been here for 6 hours.
Every post
False.
U Mad
You will never be a mindreader, and posting textjaks is the lowest form of response. The back and forth was engaging enough to continue, that’s all.
why are you still here
I'm on a mission from God.
and how does the avatarfagging help with that
His God is attention.
Ah ok
Me and the Lord... got an understanding.
It really shouldn't need any explanation. The post from its first sentence is couched in the unfounded assumption that these people's tastes are performative, inauthentic, playing to their galleries. Beyond this insincerity is you the enlightened.
This is of course self congratulatory bullshit on the level of masturbation.
The old Anon Babble pastas about taste understand what you're seeing, and then wantonly distorting, better than you do.
That's true, one day he'll learn these people are simply underage subhumans who genuinely like this garbage.
No, that was me. Not even my first post either.
I have not been here for 6 hours.
Only 1 of these statements can be true.
Mahiro
Oyama
And if the observation isn’t unfounded? What of the people who are focused on status and putting on an intellectual persona? Do you doubt they exist? I would agree that there is such a thing as a perpetual hater who isn’t being performative, and that would be worthy of mention.
Naturally I would frame my journey having gone through all three as the most developed one. It was intended more as a critique of a former self than a self-appreciation post.
My mental model for how anime fans think and develop has expanded quite a bit since then, but I just wanted to clarify if it was agreeing (everyone but me is a phony aka poser aka what so-called intermediates do) or if you were disagreeing. Thanks.

Is there time between 4 hours and 30 minutes and 6 hours?

Are you going to say
I came in at 5 hours and 59 minutes, heh gotcha
Because that's probably bullshit anyways, I know your stupid ass posted a chart.

OP is just a shonen faggot.
i
There’s no gotcha, avatarfag said he slept for 6 hours and I’m “still going” when that can’t have been the case, in other words, he’s conflating me with somebody else or exaggerating. No I didn’t post a chart.
avatarfag strikes again
All his posts are dogshit and not worth reading. Both Anon Babble and Anon Babble.
r
Admitting you browse Anon Babble to take someone else down with you
Madman, now go back.
Millenials are so fucking cringe
Your "observation"s are on the factual level of a Anon Babble-schizo shouting "jew" at every poster he disagrees with, because Jews are real therefore that poster is a Jew.
I think you'll find Anon Babble is a much less patently insane place and a much less completely worthless medium of exchange when you grant the other posters a degree of sincerity in their opinions, instead of inventing increasingly divorced from reality motivations as a means to dismiss them.
o
I've seen exactly 10 of those. I wouldn't say Patlabor is boring taste, or even known much about these days. It's pretty niche if anything now.
So the people who hate onimai posters are, so far:
Shonentards
K-On tards
and now Gachatards
Truly the A-team of Anon Babble.
Shikanoko
No I didn’t post a chart.
Proof?
Yurigods reporting in.
Alright fair enough we’ve reached a point where you don’t acknowledge peacocking even exists, so we don’t have enough common ground to continue.
Truly lycoreco was the last acceptable yuri.
Your "observation"s are on the factual level of a Anon Babble-schizo shouting "jew"

A singular consolewarring shaftfag doesn’t speak for an anime, no matter how much he avatarfags.
You can try to reframe me calling out your grandiose blanket categorizations of people you really don't know anything about if you want, but in the end it just fits into your pattern of looking for ways to be a dismissive twat that are only real in your own head.
hate onimai posters
As representative of DMC anime community I must say we don't hate onimai posters (sexo posters) but we do hate annoying avatarfag and his horrible opinions.
You realize SHAFT vs Kyoani is older on Anon Babble than you are right? Or is that another piece of history newcancer is trying to rewrite?
a
Wow very prestigious, how many mahiros do I have to post for the shitty dmc threads to go away
It's dishonest to say avatarfags and onimaifags are the same thing.
I dont know what you are talking about
Shafts are in caves not anime
not really. onimai is avatarfags taken to the extreme given the nature of the series wherein the target audience sef inserts as a faggot who both regresses in age & gets a gender swap ergo the avatarfag can live out their power fantasy of having a female childhood but through the lens of having lived experience as a male at the same time. therefore avatarfagging = onimai.
You do the very thing you criticize me of doing, comparing me to Anon Babble, calling me a dismissive twat, etc. I asked you a very simple question and you took the easy path, called me a schizo and dismissed it. Okay, fine, but it is hypocritical.
Did you know onimai is secretly a shaft anime
Because you can see mahiro 's shaft?
Did you know this wasn’t stated?
See
Lmao
He's still foaming at the butthole with rage
Have a (You), I laughed
U mad
Thanks for another textjak, mindreader-san.
ngl onimai is better than k-on
ngl onimai is better than every anime on op

It's so peak...
ngl k-on is better than hidamari
peak like everest peak
you need at least 130+iq to properly appreciate Kinogaze
peak like mount olympus peak

What are your thoughts on the original, progressive, alternative, and grunge?
You're midwit and no amount of pseud shittery can save you from being rightfully categorized as such. You're like a child discovering existence of school social hierarchy and trying to cope in process. Your behavior patters are not special and can be categorized by high IQ individuals. In our case by Enlightened Anon Babble Posters who watch and discuss anime for more than decades here. We can read your kind. You're transparent as emogirl from 00s.
