While we're at it we should have all the Naruto threads moved over to /cm/

cue disagreement over what moe is

Why not start a K-On general in /c/ anyways? It's not like there is a rule saying /c/ is image dump only.

I actually agree... Get all this shit out of here and maybe we can work on getting /a/ a little bit better.

no you dumbass

/c/ is for image dumps of cute girls

/a/ is for anime discussion, and yes that includes discussion of anime which contains cute girls

>>42967015
All mecha threads moved to /m/.

90% of all anime contains moe elements
what do we do now

>>42967015
>implying naruto is cute
>implying someone should even post naruto on 4chan

just go to /c/. It's not like they have any mods, you can talk about it freely all you want.

>isn't that what /c/ is technically for
no, it's for image dumps

>>42967112
Get with the times. Moe no longer is associated with what it used to mean. Now it's just "cute girls doing cute things all the time"

So why not shut the fuck up about semantics and get the pointless "Cute girls doing cute things all the time" out of here?

>>42967112
Orihime from Bleach is moe.
But 100% of Bleach threads on /a/ aren't moe.

Explain.

>>42967070

Moe shows are the last kinds of anime that /a/ actually discusses, you retard. Enjoy /a/ turning into the next /v/, aka "check out my dubs", tier lists, and troll threads

>>42967112
Moe is not the selling point of most of those anime.

Why does this K-on hate fiasco seem so familiar?

Soon we're gonna have some retard spamming

>MOE SHIT GO TO >>>c
>SHONEN SHIT GO TO >>>y

>>42967087
>/c/ is for image dumps of cute girls
yeah, that's what it is, but if the cute anime related discussion moved to /c/ we could keep out the haters, /c/ won't mind, they're slow as fuck anyway

>>42967112
They think they want us gone, but look around. /a/ would be 3 guys talking about evangelion if moefans were gone, because the only threads not about moe are about trolling moe.

What else are they going to have to bitch about once they're rid of us?

>>42967087

But what discussion is there for K-On? Arguing over the girls all day every day in the generals?

It never came across as a series with 'what will happen next' speculation. What is left to even talk about?

>>42967216
Turning? Where the fuck have you been?

This board needs a major clean up, but if we get the "moeshit" out, and they add the XXX's maybe we can get a little more discussion going on.

>>42967310
Wow, you have no idea how to do that properly do you

HEY OP!

K-on to get your attention!

You're a shitposting fag!

>>42967345
I, for one, would welcome that shift in threads.

This has come up many a time, and moot has always replied that /c/ is for imagedumps.

I really don't see the problem, the shows you mentioned are all anime, and thus belong on /a/.

>>42967345
>/a/ would be 3 guys talking about evangelion
Sort of want.

>implying the K-On generals aren't just image dumps

Who said the description of /c/ is image dump only. It's not in the rules part. And besides it's not like it's set in stone. Say the mods simply delete the "generally" accepted term for moe threads in /a/ and "overlook" them in /c/.

Everyones happy.

not that it matters, because no one goes to /c/, including mods, and in an hour or two when the mod goes to bed /a/ will once again be the same as it always has been including a, you guessed it, k-on general thread

Of course that could be avoided with a K-On go to /c/ sticky.

>when mods don't do anything people bitch and moan
>when mods appear shit storm happens and the same people start causing trouble and by doing so they believe mods will come
jesus christ

>>42967294
Don't shit up /c/. Keep a General thread or take it to the text board.

>>42967359
It would be stupid to move every thread that discusses shows with cute girls to /c/.

K-ON is anime. This is the anime discussion board. Just let them do their thing, they keep their shit in one thread and don't bother anyone, why is everyone so assangry?

>>42967449

>>42967449
This wouldn't happen if mods publicly banned people for clearly rule breaking shit daily. And didn't just sticky one thread, leave the doubles and trolling untouched, and do nothing.

We make a big deal of them actually doing their job because it's so rare.

No, what we need is a newfag board for people like yourself.

Oh wait, we already have one:
>>>/b/

moot already said no to any selective catering of any particular demographic/genre/etc.

So, no. ANd it's a retarded idea. /c/ has always been for cute images and a dumping/image board, not a general anime/manga board that allows all kinds of discussion and topics so long as it remains related to /a/, which includes "moe" and everything related to it.

Quit shoving that idea, it's retarded.

OP is correct.

moefags don't like eh idea because they don't want to admit that shows like K-On are just superficial moefan service without any semblance of storytelling ambition like proper fiction.

>>42967568
Got a new keyboard, I see. Fuck yeah.

>>42967433
well that one troll-mod disagrees with you, and he has to tools to actually make his disagreement matter, unlike the rest of us who can just bitch about it without actually changing anything.

At least this way people can talk about what they want to talk about without getting sage bombed or starting a my taste> your taste war.

>>42967568
Got a new keyboard bro?

Okay, rest of the week is /c/ awareness week on /a/.

a couple people can't just move over to /c/, it's just a slow image dump, we need to convince everyone to take the discussion to /c/.

Wow, we're turning into ADTRW.

>>42967596

>>42967576
and I suppose /m/ isn't catering towards one particular demographi/genre etc.?

Nor is it meant for anything other than image dump threads, I suppose?

Yeah great point, retard. /c/ should be for discussing moeshit.

>>42967576
What about /vp/?

>>42967534
no because everyone here has the mentality of a 13 year old. If you tell a kid to stop doing that he's just going to keep doing that because you told him no.

>>42967258
>selling point

You're a moron.

I agree with OP and think it would increase the quality of both boards substantially.

Only newfags and 12 year olds don't like moe

Hey, I've got an awesome idea. Lets make a stickied thread about one specific show that will probably digress into a SO RONRY thread and totally ruin the spontaneous nature of an image board.

>>42967729

Isn't every anime fanservice because it's there to appeal to the fans? Isn't then, animation and action fanservice? Isn't plot fanservice?

>>42967576

So, in a year or two. It will have faded into the fucking background. It may even reach levels of being recommended for overly simple SoL series. The shitstorm around the series will last as long as there are general threads and the loom of the movie ,of which confuses me, they are making a movie about a SoL series that has ended. So what the fuck can they spend 90 minutes on? Has the entertainment industry and viewers really stooped so low as that 90 minutes of a normals daily life is...entertaining.

>>42967502
I don't think we need to move all the cute girl threads, airing shows should still be acceptable on /a/ but I think they should also have threads on /c/.

I just want to make /c/ browsable.

>>42967695
What? No it wouldn't. An imageboard where you can only discuss some anime but not others? No.

What would improve the quality of this board is less threads like this. Blatantly ignorant shitposting and newfags galore. LUL I DONT LIKE MOE BCUZ PPL SAY ITS BAD HURR

>>42967697
Be that as it may, even if they don't like it, they are the majority, or at least the most vocal, and ruin everyone elses fun purposely.

They sage bomb, gore dump, and abuse the report system because they don't like a show even though it is /a/nime and thus free game for discussion.

You can't get rid of them so you have to do some creative thinking to at least outsmart them or prevent them from shitting on everyones moe cake.

Maybe not a good idea. /a/ is for all anime discussion. Gay anime discussion and image dumps goes to /cm/,/y/,/u/. Gay western discussion goes to /co/. It seems like /c/ and /e/ are for image dumps only. /h/ allowing some discussion but they can't really manage to discuss anything there. Even if people hate it, /a/ is the place where K-on should be discussed.

>>42967661
It and other boards like /e/, /h/, etc already exists before moot said no, last time some asked in making a shounen board. Deal with it, hater.

>shounen board
Holy shit that board would be terrible.

> /c/ Would be the official cute/moe anime shows, where the K-on and like minded individuals can discuss their shows free of harassment, while the rest of us keep /a/ for everything else

moot has stated in the past that he wished people would actually use /c/ in this fashion, but /c/ is too fucking slow for the moefags to use it, and moe anime is still technically anime.

User obstinance coupled with a chicken and egg situation makes it so this will never happen, unless mods ban from all boards except /c/.

Incidentally, that would actually be a pretty good troll for a mod, and I could see myself doing that a lot.

Seriously though, it would be a good not-so-subtle suggestion that your posting is off topic, rather than knee-jerk banning from all boards, ban from all boards except the board relevant to the off-topic post.

Not that bans do anything anyway, but I'd appreciate the sentiment.

>>42967894
Moe haters are vocal minority.

That is, unless /a/ really has been overrun with newfags and normalfags that much, which is a saddening thought. Let them spam, hate, and troll all they want. Their just wasting their time and energy while acting underage and shitting up the board that they're using, and probably being a hypocrite while doing so.

>>42967876

>>42968079

>Why don't you put up like a sticky or something that would direct all moe shows (like K-On, Ika Musume, and everything similar) to /c/.

Because by sticking a troll thread, MODGEIST trolled all you stupid moe/anti-moe faggots all at once.

OP is a flaming homosexual for thinking that the mods could give two shits about this board

I just don't want to see /a/ turn into Something Awfuls ADRTW , where the mod censors and bans shows he doesn't particularly like. 4chan has always been a fairly open place which is why I liked it.

That and your threads weren't drowned out by 12 year olds playing forum games and roll playing their naruto mary sue characters out back and forth.

>>42968077
lol now you'r just adding arbitrary addenda very time some one asks why "cute" shows cant get discussed in /c/.

>uhhh it's not allowe for one genre to get it's own board

>uhhh uhhh but mecha is a bigger genre than cute

Pathetic.

Fucking agreed

/c/ was made for this reason you retards

there is nothing to discuss about k-on, it's purely a cute show

I want a general big 3 thread

>he actually believes the moefag propaganda that K-On is popular among normal people

>>42968139
>moot has stated in the past that he wished people would actually use /c/ in this fashion
Citation or bullshit. Only a single mod has expressed an idea that's somewhat similar to that, but that was just his/her take that was brought up upon whole moe vs shounen shitstorm many moons ago.

>>42968320
>/c/ was made for this reason you retards
>for this reason
The sound of a newfag opening his mouth

I'm one of the guys that agreed with the OP of the sticky. K-on was pointless drivel.

That said, I quite enjoy Ika Musume. At least Ika Musume is TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD. Even if she remains unfulfilled we enjoy watching her journey. There's a point to her actions and an end goal for her to achieve.

Personally I'd be fine with this. I watch all kinds of anime and I'd be happy to go over to /c/ to discuss the few "cute" shows I like, if it would mean less bitching and arguing from both moefags and moe haters on /a/.

>>42967661
Every board has their board culture in addition to the strict limits of their rules. /c/ has been, since its creation, a place for people to imagedump. Discussions don't go to /c/. Just try, they won't know what to do with you. Start a discussion and it'll likely be ignored. /a/ is a fast moving board more suited to discussion, /m/ is also a fairly fast moving board, especially compared to /c/. You cannot compare the two.

>>42967611
>>42967625

Thankfully

>Some actually agreeing with this retarded idea

I hope many of those posts are just samefag moe haters trying to shove "moe" to /c/. Otherwise, the /a/ I knew is now fucking dead.

>>42968461
Pretty much this.

If we can physically separate the haters from the non haters, then they'd stop shitting in each others threads and would be oblivious to the other threads, because if you hate cute and moe, you won't fucking go to /c/. Like wise if you like cute and moe, those hating fuckers wont be sageing and trolling your threads.

Fuck it I say we just get up and do this ourselves, we don't need no sticky.

>>42968313

Maybe it's because moe isn't a genre.

>>42968445
>At least Ika Musume is TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD
Actually, we're 165 chapters in and she's still no closer than where she started.

Why do you moe greenhorns keep touting the fact that the characters in K-ON aren't doing what they're purportedly supposed to do as the show's biggest flaw? and then you turn around and say that another SOL show is better simply because "this doesn't do that". Well I'll let you in on a secret that none of you seem to be able to get on your own -- the missing ingredient is that you, for whatever reason, have personally made a connection with the characters in that particular show you favor and find them endearing. As long as that's there, you could watch them sitting around waiting for paint to dry.

>>42968553
How was K-on not pointless drivel? What's the end goal?

You can't answer that because it was pointless. That was exactly the reason for the last sticky, pointing out to you very clearly that no, K-on has no point.

>>42967661

Except mecha does not only encompass anime

Anyone encouraging the split of the board based on styles and their ignorance of what moe means is pure cancer

Following this line of thought, all ecchi anime/manga (Seikon no Qwaser, ToLoveRu, Sora no Otoshimono, etc) should only be discussed in /e/. Similarly, all hentai (doujins, manga, anime, the lot) should ever be discussed in /h/.

Oh, wait, all of those boards are only ever used for image dumping and no one ever thinks to use them otherwise. Why should it be different for /c/? Because you're butthurt about so-called "moe anime"? Ridiculous.

>>42968291
>>42968356
>>42968504
>>42968666

anon: [opinion]
yotsuba: That's wrong, because [opinion]

Every thread you post in ends up like this. Can you stop perpetuating this stupid argument?

I mean, I actually agree with you a lot of the time but you're not achieving anything by encouraging this shit.

>>42968728
Your point is irrelevant. The reason I posted Pinky and the Brain is because it's got a similar end goal that the pair fail to ever achieve yet you enjoy watching their journey.

Arguing against that is foolish. The girls in K-on had no end goal in mind, nothing for them to achieve, it was POINTLESS. Ika Musume has a goal, she wishes to take over the world AND EVERY EPISODE DIRECTLY RELATES TO IT. Sure, she sucks at it but she never loses sight to the fact that she's after the conquest of Earth, it defines her actions.

So no, your argument has failed and you're a fool for not realizing it.

>>42968741
Oh right so /m/ wouldn't exist if it didn't have gunpla threads, right?

Have you ever been to /m/? Are you not aware that gunpla and /m/ model threads account for less than 10% of threads?
/m/ is primarily a mecha anime discussion board. There's no reason /c/ couldn't be the same.

>>42968359

It's not my fault you're a newfag. It was in the middle of one stickied thread involving (among other things) people complaining about Lucky Star threads. No, I'm not going to do all the work to dig it up for you. Why would be bother creating a cute anime board if he didn't want people to discuss cute anime on it? Boards don't moderate themselves, and it's not like its content is mutually exclusive of /a/.

/c/ is clearly older then K-ON/Lucky Star/<Insert KyoAni Travesty Here>, so it wasn't designed with moe anime in mind, because moe wasn't a problem back then. It -was- designed as more than a board to post cute images and nothing else.

>>42968737
>end goal
Join a music club. Enjoy life with friends, and learn how to play music instruments and perform as a band. Graduate from school.

Oh, look. All of that happened. inb4 you don't know what slice of life means.

>>42968313
Learn to type properly before trying to sound smart, fucktard. First of all, moe isn't a genre, it's just a feeling. Second, what would define as "hur moeshit"? Your 10 most hated shows? Mecha having its own board is perfectly understandable, since this genre is really enourmous, providing their board with a lot of material to discuss. This "dur moeshit" board would never work since it would be limited to just a few anime and no one would be able to define what leaves /a/ or not. This would only create a gigantic shitstorm.

>>42968861

In k-on they wanted to preform in that big stadium. Not sure what it is called, but that is where they wanted to end up.

This is a pretty good idea. The mods obviously agree that moe threads on /a/ have gotten out of hand. Change /c/ into "Cute/Moe"

>>>/moe/

it's the only way.

>>42969021

But that's wrong. End goal obviously means defeating the big bad at the end of a season spanning storyline.

ALTERNATIVES

/a/ - Anime & Manga

1. All images and resulting discussion should pertain to anime or manga. For long-term series discussion, please refer to the /anime/ board.
/c/ - Anime/Cute

1. Images should be cute ("moe") in nature.
2. Ecchi belongs on its respective board. Males belong on the cute/male board.
3. Heterosexual couples are allowed.

>>42968737

>How was K-on not pointless drivel? What's the end goal?

>>42968861
>AND EVERY EPISODE DIRECTLY RELATES TO IT
No, they don't. There are a grand number of chapters where her plans for invasion doesn't even come up and the series plays out just like any other SOL anime/manga.
But that aside, how the hell can you call a slice of life pointless? You're essentially saying that life is pointless. Every episode of K-ON, or any SOL for that matter has a point, a development, a story. And the absence of wanting to conquer the earth doesn't minimalize it, either.

>>42969618
And there are better words to do what you want to do. Using moe like that is only going to bring further degeneration to it and open itself to misinterpretation.

In any case, it's retarded to move a single show just because people don't like it and this is if we ignore board politics. K-ON is anime and /a/ is the anime discussion board. Deal with it.

>>42969558
Bullshit unless you want to offer an "official" citation stating it's a genre. When they use to describe a manga or an anime as moe anime or moe magazine, it's referring to the style or theme that is its biggest appeal or solely because of the moe style art/design.
