Essential What Anime are you currently watching?

[winb83]

My brother.

Brehs come through with the zestiest of wild mango and I'm just in the cut.

I go on Anidb and look at the cast list and if all the main characters are male or all female there's almost an 80% chance I'm not watching the show off the top. JoJo is a double whammy cause that art style and how flamboyant it all looks really puts me off and it's a bunch of dudes.

Part of the reason I've never watched Haikyuu even thought it's very highly rated.

There's only a few times I've broken this rule:

(Cast is pretty much all men)
Major
Akatsuki no Yona
Saiunkoku Monogatari
Hana yori Dango

(Cast is pretty much all women)
Claymore
New Game
Comic Girls
Gabriel Dropout
Love Lab
Keijo
K-On

It just always comes across as unnatural that you have a cast of many characters and you mostly exclude an entire sex of them. Some of these shows literally have like one character of the opposite sex in the main cast and beyond that it's all the same sex. Almost all those girl only cast shows minus Claymore are all comedies and the male only ones minus Major were all reverse harems.

What were the Zest Wars and who won them?

What were the Zest Wars and who won them?

JoJo is not from harlem, gets uncomfortable to watch, weird as fukk, overzealous fanbase that acts like you're uncultured for not watching is annoying.

vs

JoJo exhibits peak masculinity, the gay stuff is just jokes and it has lots of action and smart battle tactics and a riveting overarching story that spans several generations.

the war is ongoing to this day.

These positions aren't mutually exclusive. Both are true in my experience.

I'd honestly say the first salvo was fired when this thread got stickied, then was promptly unstickied when a certain poster started calling a 15 year old anime protagonist "Stroke Daddy"

the thread and the regulars duke it out over this stuff from time to time.

How gay is too gay?

Ain't that show basically porn!?


Hell, I don't like fanservice, but I'm not about to argue about it. You like seeing cartoon titties? Do you, breh.

Right. The same reasons people hate JoJo, others like it so the arguments tend to go nowhere.

I forgot this thread was even stickied. Between that nickname and Redo Healer becoming a discussion topic, that's never happening again

That had nothing to do with nothing

Ever.

Man we are a jokey joke cult in here and I know we love to slander, throw fukkery jokes and etc. But the reality is different.

Stroke Daddy and Zest had nothing to do with the decision to not be stickied

The thread has so many pages because it was started 3 years ago. The top two posters have nearly 1000 posts between them.

A thread like this, if I sticky it....when does it come down? Keep in mind we don't have perpetually stickied threads, except the Netflix one, which the whole board is interested in. Half the board doesn't watch/care about anime.

Fred.

The main problem is, in a month or so those threads come down. All the threads currently stickied will come down, with the exception of the Netflix one, which most of the board is interested in.

This thread is three years old. Even if I stickied it....when does it come down? Never? I can't really justify that, when it doesn't interest most of the board breh.

Fred.

I would, but it really falls under the banner of "what was the last thing you watched?", which is a permanently stickied thread. If you go into specific things like anime, or horror, or comedy, it's a slippery slope.

If it's any consolation the horror thread has never been stickied, either.

Fred.

Admins already said no to it. A long time ago.

Fred.

No idea, that wasn't me.

And what I'm referring to is people asking for this thread to be stickied indefinitely. Which has happened in the past. Which is what the admins said no to.

Fred.

@hex

has spoken

No one in here is to blame and no need for a civil war. We are a ragtag group of black sheep

It was @hex or @Jax that informed us that it was determined by Staff for this thread to not be a featured Sticky.
