Why does Veeky Forums hate weebs again...

>loli ninjas with gigafolded katanas
That reminds me, does anyone have the magical girl/ normal guy campaign screen cap? It was about a game where the user unknowingly brought an average joe to a magical girl campaign and ended up being the crux of the team because he was the only one who could legally drive. It was a good read, but must have been really awkward on the table.

You really are retarded and don't know your Veeky Forums history. Veeky Forums had nothing to do with the origin of the meaning of weeaboo.

Weeaboo came from a webcomic called Perry Bible Fellowship. It was a nonsense word in the comic and came to mean Wapanese when mootles decided to wordfilter Wapanese to weeaboo and like a good forced meme it stuck.

>Perry Bible Fellowship created the term weeaboo
Not the user you are replying to but you are insanely stupid.

Yes it did...

That implies the term would've existed before that comic was made. So you are an idiot.

The problem isn't weebs, or furries, or bronies, or HEMAfags etc. The problem is always Autism. But Autism is strongly prevalent within certain groups, and you know what they say about one bad apple.

My gaming circle is rather weebish, not hardcore otakus but we all watch anime, play japanese games to some extent and reference stuff like Final Fantasy in our games on the reg. There is very little autism involved and we have great games with strong roleplaying. Then there's that one faggot, I think he has legit autism or something, who plays nothing but pregnant futa Touhou reject magical girl waifus who try to fuck everything that moves and thinks that cropped hentai Steam avatars and senpai jokes are the height of human humor. So that's for a negative experience.

>bronies aren't autism
nice try senpai

holy shit, are you in my group?

>Being this internet retarded
Are you sure you're old enough to be on this site?

The point of the comic is that it's a made up word, you stupid nigger.

>plays nothing but pregnant futa Touhou reject magical girl waifus who try to fuck everything that moves
And you let him?

>i can't into context, the post

I wish I was autistic enough to be a weeb.

i just want to know the inside jokes and watch good anime

Start by going on /a/ and watching the airing shows and keeping up to date with current/modern stuff. Watch non-airing stuff that interests you on the side and pace yourself so you don't get burned out so easily. It's that simple.

oh look one of the trolls now!
You seem to have grossly overestimated the intellectual potential of people in general.
My only beef is when they are over the top cringy about it and or use their anime as a basis for their mary sue/gary stu.

There isn't a universal problem with people who like anime.

Weeaboos specifically refers to the early 2000's entry level type people with no self-awareness who have to inject 'anime styles' into games without any sort of thought put into whether or not something is appropriate.

I heard /a/ was cancer?

I've been sticking to reviewers like Demo for the older stuff, but I guess I don't have anywhere else to learn about more recent cartoons

/a/ is too broad a board to characterize like that.

Now people who are STILL TALKING ABOUT K-ON yes, they're cancer.

Yeah, every board has it's people, ik, but thanks for the help. I hate halfassing my hobbies and looking like a tool.

Demo is a shit memer and reviewer. Just watch stuff you like or people recommend to you. Take a look at anichart to find out what's airing right now and just watch that stuff. /a/ is arguablely one of the best boards on Veeky Forums imho so I don't think it's as cancerous as boards like /v/.

I guess my main problem is with people who hate anything Japanese and just label it as "weeb" without thinking (which is just as bad honestly)

Mary sue/gary stu's are terrible no matter what though.

/v/ is literally /b/
Demo is good meme and I share most of his taste so whatever.
Will definitely go to /@/ tho

Example: Sword Art Online series.

I think people who make fun of weebs are mostly anime fans themselves

I guess I mainly don't like him because he tries to appeal to normies who don't go on /a/ but pretend like they do (mainly people who visit /r/anime).

Say what you want about the SAO anime, but the LNs for SAO are a really fun read.

Well I'm a normie in terms of anime so I guess that fits. Fuck his opinion on SoA and SnK tho.

SnK is hugely overrated as is SAO but that's just par for the course, especially considering the demographic he caters to.

I have no problem with people who like anime, I just wouldn't like a player playing as an anime style character in a setting where they didn't fit

>Mary Sue ... are terrible no matter what though.

Yeah he came up with the original concept the guy that made excel saga writes it

Forgivable I guess, but then he does more obscure stuff? Idk if it is or not

What's an LNs

Such as? Because his "joke" reviews don't count since they are borderline irrelevant. He just does "obscure" shit to make his viewers feel smarter like they are true "anime connoisseurs"

Not the user you are replying to, but LNs are light novels.

Like, honestly, if you like watching serious anime reviews on youtube you might as well fucking kill yourself.

Anime is a joke and anyone watching it is doing so ironically.

I don't hate them, but in my personal experience they're the most unoriginal people I've ever met.

Alien nine comes to mind, but you're probably right, because his bs is why I need to learn actual shit, with his references and general knowledge.

I don't watch anime reviewers. I formulate my own opinions based on what other people I know think of the anime I've watched.
>anime is a joke and anyone watching it is doing so ironically
Because you can't watch an entertainment medium for serious enjoyment right? You are fucking retarded.

Because they don't have any original ideas. One friend I know is a serious weeb and any time I ask him about ANYTHING requiring a personal opinion he always, ALWAYS, replies with "I don't know". Even something as simple as "Can you drive over in two hours for the game" or "What do you say to the barkeeper". It's like anime sucked any creative or original idea out of him.

You can look up most of what he says on the internet on ANN or MAL on director/producer bios and such. Stuff like studio direction and voice actors are fairly easy to identify once you've spent enough time exploring anime as a whole though.

No, you can't watch anime for serious enjoyment.

Unless you enjoy cute girls doing cute things or vapid shounenshit, in that case you're in real fucking luck.

You still have shit taste, though.

I think that's more of a problem with him as person/his personality than anything anime had to do with his indecisive nature.

His voice is great though and his content makes me chuckle so I'll still watch his shit, but I hate being so casul.

Will put in effort and order so bento. Away to /a/

>you can't watch anime for serious enjoyment
Thank you know what exactly I like and don't like so you can tell me that I'm not having "real" enjoyment when I watch anime.
>shit taste
I haven't even said a single show that I've liked, let alone watched. Fuck off stupid /v/-tier trash.

The fact that you personally enjoy it doesn't change the fact that it's absolute trash!

It's okay to like trash, though!

I like trash too!

>all of one medium is all trash
Your statement is the equvalent of saying "all books are absolute trash" or "all movies are absolute trash" which is statistically false.

I tried reading a bunch of different LN and all of them were boring badly written trash. I'm sure SAO is exactly the same.

SAO's pretty shit, yeah. The second half of it goes full retard, the first half is pretty boring.

Oh no, absolutely not! It's more like "all books made by creatively bankrupt Japanese production committees are absolute trash."

Which I believe you will find is closer to statistically true!

But, like I said, it's okay to like trash! Just drop all the pretenses and stop pretending it's not.

Japan is pretty overused and trite, and has been for the past 35 years or so.

>I've read some LNs so all of them must be exactly the same!
That's a fucking retarded line of logic and you know it. This argument is so fucking retarded and basically the one all anime haters use.

He's talking about the LNs.

Forgot to mention he had never created an original character idea. Ever. It's always ripped out of some anime or obscure manga.

But most LNs -ARE- nearly identical throwaway trash.

Which is why Haruhi lampooned that shit so hard before it fell victim to its own shit.

>all anime is creatively bankrupt and made by large production committees
If you knew anything about the industry and how it worked, you would know that be factually false.
>Which I believe you will find is closer to statistically true!
I don't know how something being creatively bankrupt can be a statistical fact since it's a VERY subjective thing.

You can wallow in self deprivation all you want but if you want to make a gross generalization about an entire medium, you should expect people to call you out on your shit.

>Japan is overused and trite and has been for the last 35 years or so
When will this meme end? Japan has made some really interesting and creative stories in fiction as well as movies for the last several decades. Anime is made for teens and young adults so of course you won't see the same level of creativity or seriousness as you will in a book. You are literally looking at such a tiny portion of Japanese media your view of their culture is incredibly skewed.

LNs are literally the YA of Japanese literature though. Look at American YA and you will see how so much of it is incredibly similar and shit. That's not to say there isn't good LNs though. Stuff like Legend of the Galactic Heroes (and Arslan Senki by the same author) is a very mature LN series that doesn't cater to teens. There will be trash in every medium. That doesn't mean all of it is shit.

I only hate them if they watched and ENJOYED Sword Art Online
>edgy teenage loner black swordsman dual wielding faggot

Oh, yes, of course Sword Art Online Season 14, the 87th incarnation of Gundam and the adaptation of "My Little Brother's Middle School Girlfriend Can't Stop Sucking My Dick!" are paragons of creative endeavor.

I am sorry to ever have cast doubt upon the glorious Japanese anime industry!

It's trash, though. Just look at anichart.net right now. The least trash show this season is Love Live, and that's complete trash.

Oh, Japanese stories are fine.

I am specifically saying that western stories aping those Japanese stories and tropes are the issue.

It always comes off as either watered down or forced, because of the lack of thought put into unity of elements in a story.

It was enough of a recognizable problem for Haruhi to devote itself to lampooning it. Therefore, it is a recognizable, relatable problem, regardless of standout examples in the medium.

What's the difference? I'm sure it's the same boring shit, except I have to read it backwards.

>least trash show is Love Live
You are fucking retarded. And I never said Gundam, SAO, or OreImo are great narrative tales. I only said that good series exist and writing off an entire medium as shit is not only illogical, but ignorant as well. Japan's animation industry is far from perfect, but it's also not as flawed as you make it out to be either. You are just a shitposter and baiter and you can stop doing both now.

I definately agree that imitations without putting the correct amount of thought or research into something is stupid and moronic but part of it is the issue of the medium at large, not the entire issue. And to be fair, Haruhi made fun of genre conventions before they were as widespread as we see them today. Haruhi was written before the widespread popularity of manga, anime, and otaku culture so it lampooning it isn't a fair comparison I think.

I found the world and setting details to be much more in depth and the author explains some of the stuff that happened in the show much better in the books. In my honest opinion, SAO's bad aspects were just amplified in the anime version because of a combination of popularity and just it not being a good fit on the screen visually. There's also a lot of good recent matieral that's been coming out in the Alicization arc that is really cool as well. The LNs aren't fantastic, but they are a fun read and I enjoyed them.

Dude. If over %80 of a medium is nothing but gratuitous amounts of fanservice and suggestive actions from female AND male characters with bad action scenes, poor/lack of plot, and edgy succubus little girls you can generally say it's shit.

>I only said that good series exist
And yet you have completely failed to prove that! I can claim that unicorns exist but I'm not gonna throw a shitfit when someone asks for proof!

I don't understand why you're so hostile, all you have to do is accept that anime is trash and drop that pretentious crap about having a "taste" and being an "anime connoisseur."

You're just as bad as Demolition D, without the 300k subscribers that is.

>Haruhi was written before the widespread popularity of manga, anime, and otaku culture

>2003

You can't be this retarded.

Except that its not and generalizing will get you fucking nowhere.

Thanks for b8 but you are retarded.

It was big in JAPAN in 2003, but anime and manga and LNs didn't really get popular abroad until around 2008-2009

>anime is trash
Only self-hating casuals say this because they are uncomfortable with the fact that they are fucking newfags.

I enjoyed SAO first cour actually.

After that, I dunno. It's like watching your average comic book flick at the movies. Ca be fun for what it is. The difference being, probably no one idolizes that.

>Go to anime searching website
>Look up "slice of life" category.
>486,201 results
>Look at every other category including "harem" and none have more than 60,000 results
Yep. Anime sure is a bastion of entertainment and all other mediums fall short of this.

Go read a book that isn't a LN or a manga.

If you hate all anime this autistically, why do you have dozens of reaction images derived from them?

>Newfags to anime are casuals and have their opinions discarded.
Dude. Lay the fuck off. They're cartoons, not a hobby.

>Why does Veeky Forums hate weebs again

Just look at this thread and you'll get a rough idea

>Anime sure is a bastion of entertainment and all other mediums fall short of this.
I never said this or meant to imply it.
>Go to anime searching website
If you got to MAL to search for anime you are fucking stupid.

Please don't be mad, I just want to discuss the amazing quality of the cheap, outsourced animation of To-Love Ru! and the intricate and original plot of Aldnoah.Zero!

Haha, Umaru-chan sure was a good anime, wasn't it? I play video games too!

>They're cartoons, not a hobby.
Yes because watching television or movies TOTALLY isn't a hobby. You are retarded if you think people can't watch anime for enjoyment.

He doesn't hate ALL anime, just a good %99 percent of it. Sure, most mediums you have to sift through a few rocks to find the diamonds. But in anime it's like looking through a city dumpster for a diamond ring.

That is an unfair comparison and you know it.

>implying I think any of those shows are good
Nice projection you got there.

I don't get why guys answer to bait like that.

I mean, I honestly am dazzled: who's more insecure, the self-loathing one one or the one who's triggered?

In a hobby you generally do something or create something. Examples:
>Warhammer 40k
Create and paint miniature armies of soldiers while reading lore.
>Magic: The Gathering
Build decks and play competitively or casually against friends and strangers alike.
Etc etc.
Sitting in front of a TV watching the latest Anime on CrunchyRoll is NOT doing anything but sitting on your ass and looking in the general direction of the TV.

There were three dudes who watched anime religiously at the table, only one of them made an actual character and the other two made literal garbage like a tuxedo wearing katana weidler who wanted to destroy the world with some shit called pain called adam fucking sandler, the other guy made a halfling rouge with a dumb as fuck name and proceded o check his phone constantly whenever it wasn't his turn and called me a crap dm because he wasn't listening when i said he was thrown across a room.

>do something
You are literally watching anime, be it on your computer or on the television. That's doing something. Please, tell me how watching movies isn't a hobby.

An hobby could be hiking or reading a specific genre, actually.

In english.
