the newfags don't appreciate dark humor about rape and would rather detest it like any normal boring casual people would do than joke about it. and they sound like underage boys with violence fantasy.
tl;dr /a/ is not laid back and fun like it's used to be

>>29700765

I once remember /a/ circle jerking to concrete girl and now everyone detest it ;_;

>complaining about /a/ not being grimdark enough

>>29700842
Are you trying to say you want concrete girl dumps?

it's about the same, people will try and come on and tell you "bawwww /a/ is dead now Gaia ruined my secret club" but they're just full of themselves. /a/ was never good, just like the meme says. The only difference is the users were slightly more creative and less bitter in earlier years. Seems like there is a lot of unfocused anger on /a/ these days.

/a/ is the only board in 4chan worth visiting, has been and will be for indefinite future.

>>29700842
I remember when we had good long pedo discussion threads, and now there are tons of normalfags telling us to burn in hell.
;_;

>>29700933
Wtf does that even mean?

Pic sort of related I guess, I just wanted to post it.

>>29700937
/jp/ is probably better than /a/ in several ways, except that their content isn't as good

Welcome to /a/ after September 2008.

>>29700937
I hope that you're joking.

>>29700933
>yesterday you were soldiers on the field
>but today you live in a treehouse

Look around you. We have now Bleach threads. Normalfags everywhere. Shippers. Narutards making shitty threads every week.

Don't you see how everyone now is "against waifus" and "moeshit"?

Now that /a/ is mainstream, it's walking towards the path on becoming just another forum. No more people pretending to be pedos for kicks. No more obscure doujin dumps. More more people discussing how they would rape lolioftheseason.

It's like >>29701022 said. The people who used to post in /a/ left to /jp/, and they were mostly good people. Since the split, /a/ became the worst board in 4chan, by far.

Enjoy your Big 3 threads, errryday.

These days we can't have a loli thread without a few comments of astonishment that we find them attractive.

>>29701138
>No more people pretending to be pedos for kicks.
Not happening

I love that now, when you say you don't like One Piece, they call you fat or a loser, like it's supposed to be a offense.

>implying /a/ isn't still filled with people acting like pedos

>pretending to be pedos for kicks
>pretending
uhhh, got some news for you

it bothers me that there's no real discussion anymore

you start a thread actually attempting to say something

first five replies are people being contrary for the sake of being contrary, picking apart some minor detail in your post rather than paying attention to what you're saying, because they jump at the opportunity to dismiss something so they can feel better about themselves

and then the thread dies

It's like the only way for a thread to survive is for you to invite the replier to give a quick witted response

The /a/ we have now is too serious about everything.

>>29701352
fuck you

>>29701138
>>29701149
people bashing on waifus, lolicon, and moe are just trolling. it is a trend carried by the same small handful of bored kids who are just fucking with you.
>>29701352
this is true and it's fucking sad. actual discussion is very, very rare now. I remember it being pretty easy to strike up a decent discussion in the past. Now it will only last if it turns into a flamewar.

There are different faggots. The similarity being that they're all still faggots though.

>>29701052
i lold , this is the truth...

>>29701397
>people bashing on waifus, lolicon, and moe are just trolling

Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Negima.

That is all.

>>29701441

This. This killed /a/.

I am the biggest loser here.
No one can beat me here.
24, live with my mother, leave the flat 2-3 a month, NEET of course, and too many other things too mention.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>29701422
Can you not tell? If you pay attention, it really does seem to be the same 3-4 people almost every time...

>>29701397
>>29701352
Or if you have a different opinion from them they just say that you're a troll.

>>29701397
>people bashing on waifus, lolicon, and moe are just trolling.

They aren't dude. Those kids that say words like "moeshit" really believe such a thing exists.

Try going into a Bleach thread and saying "K-ON!".

/a/ is very easy to troll nowadays

>>29701352

Somewhere along the line, people became convinced that 4chan exists purely for trolling, rather than trolling being something you did somewhere else while you went on about your theories about Eva in all earnestness here.

Well, the main problem is always just going to be that 4chan is much bigger than it used to be. There's not as much unity of opinion and there's too much going on.

I have been here for 5 years and you get worse every day. I now only post to complain about how much you suck.

>>29701441
>>29701449
>One Piece

Fucking new fags.

>>29701486
>Or if you have a different opinion from them they just say that you're a troll.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. THIS. The word "troll" was totally butchered by those dicks.

Kubo Tite? No, not a shitty mangaka. He's doing this for trolling.
KyoAni? No man, they used all those resources and money on E8 just to troll us.
You don't like One Piece? Man, back to the bridge, you troll.

>>29701525

Keep your sweet delusions, bro.

>>29701441
>>29701449

This is what newfags actually believe.

>>29701352
>it bothers me that there's no real discussion anymore
>anymore
I don't follow.

>>29701503
Unity of opinion is NOT a good thing. Might as well have a discussion with yourself if everybody is going to think the same way. The problem is nobody can express any opinions anymore without everyone taking shit too seriously and getting ridiculously asspained, see
>>29701370

>Don't you see how everyone now is "against waifus" and "moeshit"?

I've been here for years and have always been against this crap.

Eh, I'm a newfag but, generally, wasn't /a/ also fool of faggot weeboos?

>>29701525
>>29701581

Totally not samefag.

>>29701441
I don't see any shounen threads on the front page right now.

You are all just pretending fags, nothing more.
Even on 4chan, most of them here have a regulated life.
The main concern for most here are being lonely and being a virgin.

Kami-sama, shinigami or whofuckingever, just end my life!

>>29701536
You're totally right. Last time I tried to start a discussion was a few days ago when I finished watching Monster. I said that it didn't really suit my tastes, I found it to be overrated and provided reasons. Most of the replies were '0/10, Nice try troll, just say overrated shit ITT' and so on. Left me pretty dumbfounded.

Wait until tomorrow, when the new Bleach chapter is out. Also, until the SJ break is done.

Boy, oh boy. I can't wait.

>>29701624
Like EVERYTHING else, there are only multiple threads when a new episode/chapter comes out.

>>29701653

see >>29701654

there are more users and more impatient users specifically

when the impatient user sees a thread, they see it as a thread not about their favorite show, so you see more threadshitting
then they go ahead and make their thread, which pushes off other threads, which leads to the people watching those threads to shit on the newly made thread and then make their own thread again

it's not that the type of people have changed, it's just there are more undesirables in the same cluster of ~10 pages

spoiler: stop getting mad at other people's threads, and don't make a new thread just because what you want to discuss isn't right in front of you

/a/ is pretty much the same as it used to be, except every day I see fewer and fewer people that I know. They just come and go...

Maybe I should stop telling people who use bad grammar to kill themselves.

I don't see anything wrong with discussing Big3
it's the most mainstream of stuff, it's mindless , predictable entertainment, but it's still discussion worthy. Just be more organised about it

>>29701654
Bleach threads are actually entertaing, for the Kubo of it. And OP threads supply lot of fap material fanart.

Every cloud has a silver lining, as they say.

They aren't really a problem in themselves unless trolls create a flamewar about which on is better.

>>29701668
fuck, THIS THIS THIS. if you don't realize this you really need to fucking lurk more.

There's a fuckton of meta-threads now, like this one.

>>29701646
bandwagon effect on /a/ is grotesque.

anything deviating from the "mainstream norm of acceptance" is considred trolling.

People don't hate 3 shonens that much actually, but grew to hate it.
So insecure about how others perceive them, they can only spout what they like by saying what has already been established as good
ie. LOGH, Monster, etc.

But it's fucking easy saying I like da Vinci, monet, etc.
It takes a whole different level to say you like a series that is not so established but still good, ie. bakemonogatari.


/a/'s groupthink is killing all individuality and making them into robots where they can only spam green texts and old memes.

they failed to think for themselves.

>>29701654
>Boy, oh boy. I can't wait.
Oh no! You'll have to ignore one thread, maybe two on the front page.

Same as always. People complaining about modern anime all the time and struggling to name more than 20 decent pre-90s shows.

>>29701352
There's a reason why i only make serious threads in nighttime.

>>29701715
This. Shonen threads are only bad when trolls and/or people who actually think shonen threads shouldn't be discussed show up.

>>29701708
>Just be more organised about it

That's the whole problem. Not happening. We are only having peace right now because Shounen Jump was on a break. Wait until it's back, and watch the flood.

>>29701715
Don't you get tired of discussing the same generic, predictable manga for years, every week? Damn.

>>29701738
You really believe when the Bleach chapter is out, everything gets contained into a single thread?

>>29701708
Fucking thank you!

>>29701731
I hate you but with this post you've raised my opinion on you a little.

you can still see glimmers of hope in the nightime threads, when the normalfags and gaiafags have gone to bed.

Just avoid it during the day and school breaks and it can actually be ok. besides that its shit most of the time anyway.

Everyone on /a/ these days seems to think they are a vigilante mod and can act as the motherfucking board content police. I have no idea where this idiotic ideology came from. If you don't like a thread then let it alone, it's almost impossible to have a decent thread without people hell-bent on taking it down these days for some reason.

Ok, since this thread was about new users and such, here they are.

Thanks to everyone who took part in it. Let this thread turn into a Bleach/One Piece circlejerk.

Life is a bitch and that's all i want to say.
I hate it , but i am too much of a chicken to end it.

Mango&Animu is my "life". I start with Mango&Animu in the day and end it with Mango&Animu.

>>29701779
>Don't you get tired of discussing the same generic, predictable manga for years, every week? Damn.

Not really, because of the unlimited characters, possibilities and plotholes there is allways shit to talk about.

You don't get tired of discussing the monthly FMA chapter either. There have been multiple threads about Scar's arm for the past few days. The only difference is that this happens weeky in case of a weekly manga.

>Don't you see how everyone now is "against waifus" and "moeshit"?
It's been like this since the beginning. I don't know why this is suddenly "new".

>>29701779
>You really believe when the Bleach chapter is out, everything gets contained into a single thread?

I've very rarely ever noticed more than 2 on the front page.

>>29701810
Most of the time it just ends up having the opposite effect. Wikispam usually just encourages people to make more of whatever thread is being spammed at the time

>>29701731
Yes I agree with this. I see you are not always trying to be annoying, that is actually a very intelligent analysis from you for a change.

>>29701846
Thank you. This.
The big three are weekly so of course you see them more.
FMA and the others are montly. If you saw them weekly they would recieve just as much hate

>>29701864

Only moe anime that ever recieved hate was Lucky Star, period.

>>29701779
>You really believe when the Bleach chapter is out, everything gets contained into a single thread?

you really believe when there's a new episode/chapter of anything, everything gets contained in a single thread? it doesn't help when big 3 threads get policed to hell and back either.

Here's the problem with /a/:

>rather than post worthwhile content about stuff I like
>I will instead complain about what other people post
>it's the easier option

I mean, that's always happened here, but now it's all anyone does. Hell, we're doing it in this thread.

OH GOD, SUDDENLY BUTTHURT SHOUNENFAGS EVERYWHERE.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS IN THIS BOARD ANYMORE. JESUS CHRIST, JUST CHANGE THE NAME OF /a/ TO BLEACHPORTAL.COM ALREADY.

UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, YOU BUNCH OF IDIOTS. WE DON'T WANT YOU SHOUNENFAGS HERE, BECAUSE YOU POST IN OTHER THREADS, KILLING EVERY POSSIBLE DISCUSSION ABOUT DECENT ANIME.

Image-spam has killed this board. If you don't like something, find something else to discuss. Otherwise no one can do jack shit because every thread gets spammed by someone.

>>29701968
2/10

>>29701779
>You really believe when the Bleach chapter is out, everything gets contained into a single thread?

There wouldn't be multiple threads if people didn't go into them with the sole intention of shitting it up. Know what happens when a thread gets spammed? A new one is made. The problem is that the spammer keeps the old one bumped, instead of it hitting the post limit and falling off the board.

>>29701936
yup. and we reward shitposting by reacting to it, while we don't reward people who try to post interesting discussion, unless it is meta-shit like this thread.

>>29701968
You are the cancer killing /a/

>>29702044

Where are my comerades left?
Where are the shut-ins?

Even on 4chan , i feel like a complete outsider and loser now.

Oh because CODE GEASS CODE GEASS CODE GEASS was much better that two shounen shit threads on the frontpage that you can hide at will.

Not really on the side of anything, but the level of exaggeration about this shit being that much of a problem hits record ammounts.

>>29701441
I would not put Negima in with the Big 3 in any way shape or form. I don't understand why you did, but I guess that's an opinion. You should be free to have opinions as long as I do, and that might not be for too long. Cherish the freedom while you can.
>>29701449
Mahou Sensei Negima didn't kill anything, so what do you mean when you say this? It is something I and other Negima fans talk about, so explain this.

>>29702044
I think the cruise control in that post implies sarcasm, anon

>>29702067
we're still here, we just don't talk about it as much. most of the hardcore "true NEETs" moved to /jp/ though. Go there, you will fit RIGHT in.

>>29701975
anime/manga boards are set to be shit in the first place, there isn't much to discuss at all. anything about a series will have already been covered by the core group of users unless its an ongoing. in this case, discussion about an older series will usually end with reactions like >slowpoke.jpg or the thread simply being left alone. if its a popular ongoing there will already be at least 4 threads somewhere in the first 5 pages.

>>29702099
Sarcasm does not work that way. Also, stop defending a troll.

>>29701914

Main difference, bro: other manga/anime doesn't have the huge idiotic and numerous fanbase Big3 has. Those threads are newfag bait, and it's going to ruin /a/.

My point is:
It's never going to stop.
It's going to grow up.
When there's nothing to discuss, they shit into other threads.
Big 3 kills /a/.

>>29702000
See >>29701536.

>>29702070
It was the shitstorm of the season. It's over now. Unlike Big 3.

>>29702080
Negima! isn't Big 3, nor shares the same problems with it. I don't like it, but it's totally ok to discuss in /a/. In fact, there should be even more discussions about it.

Mainstream is killing 4chan
Hope of profit is killing 4chan
Porn adds are killing 4chan
Antiloli / Anit-CP is killing 4chan
Spam Is killing 4chan

I don't care. Shut up, watch your goddamned animu, and come to /a/ to have fun with animu and mangoes.

>>29702154

I don't know what happened, but I meant:

>>29702067

/m/ and /jp/

>>29702323

Does Negima or TTGL have a active fanbase as Big 3 does?

No, it does not.

>>29702323
I don't think so...

>>29702177
Everyone keeps spitting out what is killing 4chan, and while it is true that most of that stuff is an absolute detraction from what is good here, if you only focus on the problems, then you end up with a bunch of newfags who think they're clever and making good contributions just by pointing out that they heard what some of the problems were.

What is good here is the original content, the moments when contributors actually make a thread about animu or mango that are funny, interesting, or otherwise informative, and funny, interesting or informative discussion is presented in the usual fast paced, biting, and cynical tone that 4chan is known for, and whether the content be the posting of a doujin, a namefag making funny responses, or hilarious and original shoops, as long as the content is fresh and entertaining, and the responses are quick and fun, then that is why people actually come here.

Anything that gets in the way of that good content is what is killing 4chan. That's all there really is to it.

>>29702378
>>29702137

Oh well, i am not too much into Tohuou and neither into Mechas though.

/a/ is split into 3 groups:

30%: The after school crowd, usually underaged users into shows like bleach, naruto, and one piece.

50%:The roneryfags, usually into shows like lucky star, k-on, and haruhi. These are the people that make the waifu threads and are the majority of /a/.

20%: and then there the anons who like good anime. You won't find a lot but there are some good threads on /a/ if you look hard enough.

>>29702154
>Those threads are newfag bait, and it's going to ruin /a/.
>ruin /a/.

FOR THE Nth FUCKING TIME, /a/ WAS NEVER GOOD.

THE ONLY THING THAT THEY CAN CHANGE IS THAT THERE WILL BE MORE PEOPLE WHO LIKE SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T.

The reason why you don't have fun anymore is because the internet is getting more and more fucktarded, and the general belief that 4chan is the shithole on the internet doesn't help either. It just keeps drawing more and more faggots and mentally retarded here.

That is what's screwig up /a/ too.
EVERY board is getting worse and worse by evry year... monthy... day.

There is only group of individuals who worth pointing a fingert to, and those are trolls. The REAL ones, who do it for generating wars between groups with different opinions.

THOSE fucktards are what we have more of now. Without a troll, even a K-ON, or a Bakemonogatari, or a fucking big3 thread can contain intelligent discussion.

>>29702430

Negima does. Pretty sure what it means is that you'll get the same type of threads whenever those things are released. Lots of threads for SJ stuff? Same fucking thing happened when new episodes came out for CG and GL.

>>29702449

You can't have fresh, new content when it's all about the same characters facing new generic villains each 3 months.
/a/ should be dedicated on discussing new anime. Not on making threads about the ones that are repeating itself for years.

>>29702509
This

>>29702449
>>29702510

/a/ is best at night. Midnight to around 4 am. CNT time that is when most threads stand a chance and you can talk with almost no trolls.
Otherwise. Trolls are going to happen and explode your threads and there is nothing you can do about it

>>29702510

Anime /a/ considers good universally have died out, right around the time most people believe /a/ became very, very shitty. Coincidence? Let me go ahead and answer for you. There have been good anime since then but because all /a/ can do now is troll and spam memes, not discuss anything, there will never be a good anime again.

>>29702565
>Lots of threads for SJ stuff? Same fucking thing happened when new episodes came out for CG and GL.

You STILL don't get it? CG and TTGL ended. They had their turn. We had a flood for 6~7 months, and then it was over. People move on.

But the SJ manga are going to be a eternal stain in /a/.

>>29702449
This romantic image of what makes /a/ 'good' is just shit like Geass and whatnot flooding the boards though.

>>29702509
no. This is bad in itself. The assumption that if someone is posting about a particular show, that is the only show they watch. This just leads to baseless generalizations and name calling which we could absolutely do without.

>>29702573

What kind of "new content" are you thinking of? There's plenty of new fan art whenever a new character is introduced.

>>29702573
Every manga and anime has the same characters until it ends.

you use to see some quality posts but now theres to much trash - its painfully obvious there are about a billion newfaggots making 100 posts a minute of shitsux, yousux, igay crap

>>29702565
>>29702323
The problem with the big 3 is the fanbase, not the manga.

Negima don't have a fanbase outside 10-15 people, and nobody know it.

>>29700765
this.
also too many people too concerned about epeen and trying to pick fights with people they're not even going to ever see in real life.

>>29702637

You. You, the namefag.

Explain to me what is your definition of "troll". I'm curious.

>>29702645
By that same reasoning any serialized manga shouldn't be discussed either.

>>29701397
This is bullshit. I can't stand moe because it largely feels substanceless and dull. I don't troll for the sake of trolling, however I sure as hell will voice my opinion about it when I feel like doing so. Don't act delusional just because not everyone sees the appeal of moe like you do. This exact reasoning is what makes a large majority of the moe fanatics illiterate morons.

>>29702692
a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

>>29702720

No, because other serialized manga don't have the same huge and out of control fanbase as Big 3. Get it now?

when /a/ figured out they were ronry
