Owarimonogatari 05

Man, this is brutal...

I can't even...

Damn, Oikura....

One Punch Man 08

Fucking cliffhangers...

Not much happened to be honest.

 

[Hellwarden]

You'd think somebody would ask people what shows aren't fan service junk if they actually cared at all instead of scanning the OP for things to find problem with.

Well, considering a lot of people in that thread probably don't care for anime and probably don't watch it, they're not looking for things that conflict with their views.They're looking for things to back up their views.

Confirmation bias is a real thing after all.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I think most people just pop in and ask for recs or make a thread on the OT.

Amazing.

Im confused by their definition of a mainstream anime :/

 

[Line_HTX]

What's going on here and why is bgbw getting stuff?

:O

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Uh oh. What happened now?

 

[Basileus777]

Uh oh. What happened now?

BGBW's OP was taken seriously and used as evidence in that Otaku USA thread.

Uh oh. What happened now?

BGBW's OP was used in the Otaku USA thread to show why anime is problematic or something

Amazing.

Actually, acting TOO much like a community thread can result in total shutdown. Ask any of the sports-GAF regulars. Beware!

I mean ... I guess it's not as bad as taking DTL as the ur-example of anime/anime fans?

This is true. Get too off-topic and bam.

 

[Cornbread78]

Hilarious, just hilarious. I can't even, BGBW, lol. Oh man, I'll stay away because people acting all mad and offended about things online that they really couldn't give a shit about otherwise is funny to read. The Internet is truly an entertainment blessing from above.

 

[fertygo]

We should try DTL does same thing next time..

 

[foxuzamaki]

Noragami episode 1-5
I have to say im willing enjoying this, up until episode 5 I will say the humor was alright, not much made me laugh out loud, but I still consider funny, but this episode made me bust a gut several times, made me fall inlove with the show, including more character intrigue, im enjoying this anime about obscure gods and such.

 

[javac]

Think about the amount of lurkers who go to the OP for genuine recommendations, man that kind of damage cannot be undone. We must all atone for our sins.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Yeah, so I'm now reading through that thread and... Yeah. Oh dear.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Symphogear G 13 FIN

The whole treasury of Babylon thing was just ???????????.

===

G's better than the first show but it still comes from the same sort of mold in that I wouldn't call this trash nor would I call it very good. It exists in this nebulous space where all the dumb shit going on makes it just entertaining enough to be able to look past the copious amount of flaws in the production.

That was exactly my impressions of the first season haha, it got so dumb it was basically enjoyable, I should really finish G, I only watched 1 or 2 episodes like 2 years ago

 

[Narag]

Nah, fuck 'em. They can ask what's good instead.

The next thread should be like a nunnery to make up for it.

We just spend the entire thread talking about Ping Pong and nothing else.

 

[foxuzamaki]

lmao

hahaha

 

[Trojita]

Shibes are in now. I'll make the next OT all about animu doges.

We will be mainstream.

 

[AnathemicOne]

BGBW why you gotta mess with our GAF mods? lol

 

[victreeb3l]

lmao

wow.

 

[javac]

Nah, fuck 'em. They can ask what's good instead.

Hopefully this has been a lesson for everybody involved. The whole thing has been a good exercise in how communication goes a long way.

Now this I can get behind. If only my review was done it'd be the perfect time alas the show deserves more time.

Spoiler

2,600 words so far with more to go *wipes sweat from brow*

It's a lesson in confirmation bias more than anything.

Haha true that. What can ya do, eh? Just one of those stigma's you can't shake no matter how hard you try, even on a video gaming forum of all places no less. You can't make it up.

 

[dimb]

Yeah, so I'm now reading through that thread and... Yeah. Oh dear.

I blame Daryl Surat.

 

[wonzo]

the lesson is more joke op's

I should watch this considering I own it D:

 

[phoenix296]

TUSR is never getting OPs back.

 

[Busaiku]

Welp, this is the end for us.

 

[Russ T]

There's like a constant deluge of bouncing titties and ass shots, at least during the first 10 episodes. It seems to have taken that shit down a notch now. I don't really watch those kind of shows, so maybe it just stands out more to me.

No, you're right, it's really bad. People just opt to ignore it because it's otherwise a super great show.

Well, and then there's the people who love it. God help them.

 

[AnathemicOne]

Well shit, we are gonna die

I think the fact that an outsider to the thread described the OP as offputting and you guys all collectively responded that they'd missed the point of how hilarious it was that the OP was purposely made as terrible and unfriendly as possible -- without, at least obviously to me, any trace of irony -- says pretty much everything that needs to be said about why anime isn't respected by the people who are elevating the profile of general-purpose geek culture.

And Cyan is much nicer about this, so I'm gonna be the heavy here: I'm less than pleased to find out a major thread like this has an idiotic in-group joke OP at the expense of anyone else who happens to wander in. If your thread isn't welcoming to new users it's worthless to us, and we have no interest in letting people keep around purposely insular little clubs that masquerade as legitimate community threads.

 

[nintendoman58]

Well shit, we are gonna die

Oh dear.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

BGBW literally killed AnimeGAF.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Or you could just listen to what he says. You guys say we're gonna die like every other season

 

[Russ T]

Oh wow I didn't realize there were like twenty extra pages since the post I responded to.

Seems like the OP is doing god's work.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Considering the churn of this thread over the time I've been posting in AnimeGAF, and the number of new people who have wandered in and become heavy posters, anyone who says this community does not welcome new members does not know what they're talking about.

Like half of the top posters in this thread are people who started posting here this year. This place has never been less insular. And the OP was created by one person, not the community as a whole.

 

[Jarmel]

Well shit, we are gonna die

If someone shuts us down for this, they were going to do it anyway.

 

[Mechazawa]

Hey guys, remember when someone said "fuck em, they can ask" over the not-that-crazy criticism that someone might peace the fuck out over seeing a bunch of satirically placed moe garbage in the OP.

 

[skLaFarebear]

lmao

To be fair the Monogatari series is sus as fuck.
