I've been watching anime since the 90's :yeshrug:


I keep it to myself I ain't loud with it. No weird half naked waifu posters/statues in the house. No anime related fashion.


I just watch the shyt i like on crunchyroll like a normal nikka.



na breh…… you a little more eccentric than what you leading on with.:mjgrin:

I been watching anime too but I don’t know what a waifu is:russ:


You slipped up and exposed too much:mjlol:


You watching that Word Ending Harem show and it’s ok:lolbron:

No judgment no shade:russ:

Makes sense, Wu Tang are just a bunch of anime/kung-Fu nerds.

Law and Order is crime drama detective Conan anime

The Fast series is pure car racing anime, and so forth. For those who don't watch...hard to believe, considering your favorite show and or movie(s) are more than likely anime inspired or pure anime in spirit.

Anime was always cool

The thing is, the people who liked it in the past didn't make it a defining characteristic of their personality

Then again, people who came from OG animation are way different from the current school.....emphasis on "school" :sitdown:

Tru, There are nikkas who watch shyt, and there are anime nikkas.

it's just because american animation has fallen off. I used to think anime looked cheap. Having extended scenes of the entire screen being frozen with the only thing moving the in the frame being their mouths or something.

And the only reason is cuz 4kids fukked that shyt up and tried to censor it and make it childish liek Pokémon

I can't lie I used to watch the shyt on 4kids and enjoy it :mjlol: . But I had some copies of Shonen jump as well so I knew the real thing as well :whoa:



Not being on toonami really hampered this in the states. I think even if it was on Kids WB it may have had a chance bc they had Pokémon and YuGiOh

FF14 just broke records as the largest MMO of all-time and won a few awards in 2021. JRPGs ain't going nowhere. :wow:

Just saying they were popular, but still considered somewhat niche genre outside of a few games.

Persona is on the mainstream map now

Tales of Arise launched the Tales series into the mainstream as a major success now (berseria helped as well)

Yakuza is now a JRPG.

Stranglehold on the industry :blessed:

The downgrade in animation detail is really kind of shocking. Look at the original Scooby-Doo:

The redesign that was so bad they canceled the shyt after 2 seasons
latest


More American animation is being inspired by anime since the current crop of animators were born in the 70s 80s and 90s so they got exposed to anime and other styles of animation so the quality of series is getting better. Castlevania on Netflix is really well animated and has a dope story. Young Justice is pretty well animated too. DC puts in work when it comes to their series and straight to home video movies. Its just their theatrical stuff that is garbage.

Megan the Stallion and Michael B Jordan are repping anime proudly. It's fully mainstream now :manny:


The masses are getting on board with JRPGs with Persona and Japanese games in general with the Yakuza series


One Piece is the only Shonen that never took off all the way here in the States and it's still pretty popular
Pokémon broke the JRPG barrier in the mainstream west.
