Support NeoGAF

[Crash Station]

I've heard they're a nasty group so I just bug one of its members instead of ruining my reputation.

Eh, they're not really nasty or malicious outside of 1 or 2 members. They're just insane.

 

[Emitan]

I lent my DS to a friend, i'll see if she enjoys NSMB when I get it back.

That game sucks why would you do that

 

[Emitan]

AnimeGAF is pretty nice. I was afraid of them at first, but I went into the IRC channel and everyone was nice to me~

We arent mean or nasty. We are just kind of insane.
I dispatch trucks for a living.
I willingly work 84 hours a week solving headache inducing problems all night.
Thats way more insane than being anime fan.

You need a healthier job.

More then Monster Hunter?

i expected the animegaf thread to be an elitist circlejerking cesspool, but it's not so bad.

I liked it :| Though admittedly I haven't played it for more than an hour and got it for free with the system.

nsmbds isn't terrible, but it's low tier mario.

Yeah, they're a bunch of character assassinating reagans.

elitism leads to exclusion. that's bad!

I've always wondered who propagates this myth, or if this is just a stigma against all gaf communities.

 

[Finaika]

Why isn't Diablo III anywhere in the chart?

Does Media Create even track PC games. I don't think I have never seen a single PC game chart. Either way I don't think Diablo III is out in Japan.

 

[Femmeworth]

PC gaming doesn't exist in Japan, of course.

When i think of animu, the last thing I would describe the fanbase as is elitist.
Its pretty much a means to escape reality, like movies or vidya games.

Elitism exists in all geek/nerd groups, to some extent.

Ah but see thats where the insanity part comes in.
I actually somewhat enjoy the work!

elitism exists in everything in some form.

Well thats true.
The only jolly ranchers worthy to be eaten are the green apple ones. The others are beneath me.

Ew, only the watermelon ones are worth anything.

Of course there are elitists in animegaf. What did you think the whole Monocle/mustache list was about?

 

[Drencrom]

Another embarrassing anime related thread. This is why it's not 'socially acceptable' to like anime.

Also, moe is the cancer killing anime

Spoiler

and the Japanese population

I don't think anyone in here is actually embarrassed.

You're the one with a Hitoshi-san avatar :/

I want to set this thread on fire

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

So...this game's an endearing, and heartwarming story about a kid with a female pet that he affectionately calls his "sister" and has a totally healthy and platonic, normal owner-pet relationship with right? RIGHT!?

 

[Branduil]

Is pedophilia socially accepted there or something?

Popular with Japanese otaku /= socially acceptable.

It's more like he's the pet.

[BoilersFan23]

It's actually one of my favorite anime. Made me laugh extremely hard. Sort of glad to see it do well, but dunno how the actual quality of the game is.

 

[OceanBlue]

In a sense, you could look at these sales (or even some of the posts in this thread) and realize that some people on NeoGAF draw completely wrong impressions in regards to what's popular in Japan in regards to games or anything else if you didn't think this already.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

While I don't doubt this, it's kinda shocking to think that fringe/otaku consumers are bigger in numbers than the casual, average-joe that also buys games.

 

[Branduil]

I said it in the other thread I'll say it here too, I just don't understand the popularity of this series. :|

There's a segment of anime fans that love navel-gazing anime that make it seem "awesome" to be an otaku. And then you add the fans of underage shipping and incest as well.

 

[OceanBlue]

While I don't doubt this, it's kinda shocking to think that fringe/otaku consumers are bigger in numbers than the casual, average-joe that also buys games.

I don't spend too much time in MC threads, but don't most popular games sell above around 150k first week? I think you're confusing the casual, average-joe that buys games and fringe consumers who buy Atlus games.

 

[Bomber Bob]

Trust me otakus in Japan are way bigger than the average casual gamer (who BTW totally moved to brainless smartphone social games).

Another huge public for games in Japan are pokemon children

They really don't, this week just makes it seem that way.

izayoi

I don't know what you're insinuating.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Man, based on the reaction to one game, I'm glad I haven't posted pics of my import games here. 90% of GAF would lose their minds.

 

[PdotMichael]

Maybe is "My little sister" just a great game?

 

[cajunator]

Holo or Horo?

 

[May16]

This doesn't need its own thread. Ever heard of Media Create threads?

GAF -> Internet -> GAF

 

[Branduil]

Of course I don't think that, and honestly I lost the taste for anime in general past ~20. I loved stuff like Memories, Cowboy Bebop, Paranoia Agent, Monster, GitS, everything by Satoshi Kon and Ghibli etc. Couldn't and still can't stand anything fanservice-y, shonen, giant robot, slice of life, harem etc. When more shows started becoming like that, and fewer like the ones I liked, I stopped following it. Also Satoshi Kon died The ones that did try weren't as good as the old stuff (eg Ergo Proxy). I don't know if it has changed, but from everything I've seen it doesn't look like it. I'd sure love it if I'm wrong though.

sorry for the huge OT, guess I'll stop now.

We shall see how it does the following week to see if it has any legs.

Don't worry, you shall be judged one way or another.

Icecream is banned. >
