So nothing changes? cool

fine by me. I wish people would forget that crap Evangelion, it's about as "deep" as House M.D.

You are assuming /a/ will be here by then.

probably moot will be long sold it to the cheezburger network.

That's fine.
Dragonball, Pokemon and Yugioh are worse than FMP, Geass and Haruhi.

>>53970759
No, anon, you are the DEEPfag

>Implying new series of Pokemon and Yuigioh will ever stop airing

HAH! Joke's on you. I'll be gone when I see the last two Rebuild movi-

Oh wait......

>>53970855
So you're leaving in a year?

good! Now I wont see 20 "hurr durr dragon ball was gud why are anime shit now adays" threads on page 1 every day.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Dragonball Z is timeless
fans will show it to their kids
Pokemon isnt an anime

and yes, Yugioh and Eva will be forgotten
Yugioh is pretty much allready forgotten and Eva was dead for a while until Rebuild gained alot of new fans

>>53970963
DBZ = Naruto from the 90's.
Even the fans had a similar reputation

>>53971005
More like Bleach, slightly more bearable

>>53971005
I would imagine so, however I'm not so sure Naruto would ever be looked back upon fondly as people do with Dragon Ball.

>>53971005
im sick of 12 year olds like you saying that
DBZ fans were never as bad as Naruto fans, infact DBZ has always had one of the better anime fanbases

DBZ fans always made fun of DBZ back in the day because they knew how bad it was at times (are they still on namek) Naruto fans made it out like it was the best anime ever

>>53971005

>2011
>complaining about fans of anime
>implying the fans of your favorite animu are any better

>>53971005
oh god.
You know those little kids using "jutsus" and all that shit? You know how you hate it?
What about our attempts to use a Kamehameha, or become a Super Saiyan?

why is nobody hating on yugioh?

>>53971102
No one did that past the age of 10

>Eva
>4 minute elevator scenes
>2deep4u faggotry

Yea I'm glad Eva will be forgotten

>>53971102
That was super fun

You are all now aware than you've become the adults that looked down bitterly on your faggotry

Isn't DBZKai airing on Nickelodeon

>>53971157
Eva fans are with ease one of the most annoying fanbases ever
but its still a good anime, sad it will be forgotten after Rebuild

>Dragonball
>Pokemon
>Yugioh

>Good

>over9000 lol
>POKEMONPORN TIME
>5 get lol 555 get loool

nothing of value was lost

>>53971207
I watched one episode and Mr. Popo was blue. I currently plan to firebomb the Nickelodeon offices.

>>53971054
Probably will. By the current fans.

>>53971082
You were probably a DBZ fan back in the day if you think that. Naruto fans will probably say the same thing a few years from now.

I was already a more "experienced" fan (sorry if I look kind of pretentious) and you guys had a terrible reputation among the rest of the anime fans.
And that before DBZ became really huge, back when Planet Namek had all the manga chapters.

>>53971102
I remember that there were websites trying to teach how to do the kamehameha.
And of course, all those websites with different powerlevel lists. Remember that? Powerlevel lists were huge back in the day

>>53971122
Cause yugioh was cool

>>53971224
If you hated it that much, you would have left /a/ a long time ago.

>>53971224
So what you're saying is, you haven't seen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfB-UPUCxOc

Enjoy.

Have you never been on a VS thread?

> Goku vs Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
> lol instant transmission

>>53971207
DB Kai was a flop, because it was a utter shit
it was so bad Toei didnt even bother doing the Buu saga
and the guy who did the new shitty OST that everyone hated got fired for stealing other music, maybe he should have actually stole good music

DBZ will continue to get re-released for years and Pokemon is never going to end.

Future /a/ will know about these things, if /a/ is still here.

>>53971246
>I watched one episode and Mr. Popo was blue. I currently plan to firebomb the Nickelodeon offices.
Mr. Popo is not blue on Nickelodeon. He's only blue on that station run by 4Kids.

And not to defend 4Kids, but they did air Jynx with her original blackface character design. And faced some public backlash for it.

>>53971269
>So what you're saying is, you haven't seen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfB-UPUCxOc
Mother of God. It's perfect.

>>53971346
No, it was on Nickelodeon and he was blue.

>>53971279
>DBZ will continue to get re-released

no, DBZ fans are not stupid like Pokemon fans, they dont buy the same shit over and over again, hence why Kai flopped

if Toei want DBZ to be succesful again, they will need to actually remake it like Rebuild or do Dragonball AF or some shit

>>53971406
>Dragon Ball AF
Please. Please die in a ditch or something and never post on /a/ ever again.

a/, lets talk. This is important.

Over the course of several years and finished in 1995, Neon Genesis Evangelion was made as a television production consisting of 26 episodes. After it's initial airing(s), the work proved to be immensely popular, reaching far beyond it's intended target audience - it was for instance not uncommon to overhear salarymen at bars discussing the plot and events of Evangelion.

This popularity sparked a movement that shaped today's otakudom. Akihabara transformed from a market centre for electronic appliances into the otaku haven it is today, and made possible the "late night anime TV-slot". It inspired an entire generation to start as animators, and as such, it's unmistakable influence is commonly found in many of the anime postdating it.

In short, the conclusion: NGE created the moe-business as we know it today. The momentum from the previously mentioned movement steered towards the situation we have today.

I believe it's likely that the moe-business is the result of Eva tramautizing a generation of viewers who completely failed to understand the implications of the series' message and thus retreated even deeper into otakudom. The plot so completely broke their minds with a truth they weren't willing to accept, that all they could say in response is "what the world really needs are endless derivative variations of Asuka and Rei doing cute things without all that emotional trauma making viewers uncomfortable."

Even now, Hideaki Anno is still making Evangelion. When he's done, who knows what will happen? What new risks and consequences will we face?

>>53971406
> or do Dragonball AF

>>53971391
>No, it was on Nickelodeon and he was blue.
I've watched DBKai on Nicktoons, and Mr. Popo was as black as ever. I don't know if this has changed, but when the Blue Popo was first introduced, I'd read it was only going to air that way on the WB or whatever it is.

Though, honestly.. it is a pretty racist character design. This isn't like calling riceballs donuts or pretending nobody ever dies in One Piece or rewriting almost Kaiba's entire character after the first season. I can see a legitimate reason for this.

>>53971556
>tl;dr
Anno failed

>>53970728
>implying pokemon won't exist for another 10 years

>>53970728
Wow.
I just realized something,
I always I thought I would raise my kids on Gurren Lagann if I ever had any.
But fuck,, some things cannot be missed, I'm going to make sure my child gets to watch DBZ no matter what.

>>53971593
Whichever Nicktoons you have, I want. Are you in America?

>>53971556

>>53971556
yeah and Asuka invented Tsunderes, fuck off, Eva didnt invent shit
>>53971574
>>53971465
i never said i want Dragonball AF, but if it was made, it would be extremely popular, look at GT, was shit and hated by many, still very succesful

>>53971658
Make sure you let them watch Dragonball too, I rewatched that shit a few months ago and even my age I got excited during the final fights of Tenkaiichi.

I don't see any problem with this.

Times change people acquire taste.

>>53971556
Is this an excerpt from Yamakan final university thesis?

>>53971708
I am pretty sure GT had the worst sales figures out of the entire DB franchise.

>>53971765
>worst sales figures out of all of Dragonball
>still 10x better then 90% of anime

okay dude

>>53971645
>implying the anime hasn't completely lost its touch
See >>53971269 if you need to remember everything the newer seasons aren't.

>When he's done, who knows what will happen? What new risks and consequences will we face?
If it has a good ending then great success, but he will fade away into nothing. If it has ANOTHER shit ending then he will probably claim lack of funding or control over content and remake it one more time before he finally dies.

>>53971666
>Whichever Nicktoons you have, I want. Are you in America?
Yes, and it's included black Popo and Bulma walking around the ship in her bra and underwear on the way to Namek.

>>53971804
Lost it's touch? It is probably as good for kids today as it was for me 14 years ago. You just think it's lost it's touch because it's not catering to you anymore. You do not belong to the primary demographic.

Bulma was mai waifu

>>53971708
Akihabara actually became the Otaku heaven it is today during the 95-96 and Eva actually creatred the late.night time slot for Anime.

So please fuck off you hipster newfag piece of shit.

>>53971556
TOASTS IN MOUTH
TOASTS IN MOUTH

>>53971820
Well, time restraints on 2.22 already restricted his vision a bit. Asuka's character development suffered as a result.

>>53971801
I still don't understand where you get this "GT was popular" notion from. It's sales figures were terrible even compared to other series and it was hated by the fans. Do you have assburgers or something?

>>53971593
>rewriting almost Kaiba's entire character after the first season
I was unaware they rewrote Kaiba, but I've never seen Yu-Gi-Oh subbed. What's different about him?

Also >>53971269 was wonderful.

"Hey Vegeta, Look! Narufags and bleachfags kidding themselves that they are on par to DBZ in any shape or form."

"Wannabes, if anything they're the Raditz of anime."

>>53971820
the Eva fans from the 90's are mostly adults like Dragonball Z fans, they dont watch cartoons anymore

Rebuild is targeted at a completly new crowd, so yes its going to have a happy fucking ending

fans on /a/ will never admit it, but 80% of eva fans here did start with Rebuild

>>53971801
To be fair I remember not liking GT half as much as Z, Gohan became the main protagonist didn't he? I never liked him.

>>53971940

>>53971956
Fuck I hope it has a happy ending. Without any of the what if bullshit of "oh they can come back from being tang if they want". Lazy writing.

>>53971960
Gohan was a shit character after Cell.

>>53971956
>but 80% of eva fans here did start with Rebuild

But that's fucking wrong you nigger

>>53971869
>Lost it's touch? It is probably as good for kids today as it was for me 14 years ago. You just think it's lost it's touch because it's not catering to you anymore. You do not belong to the primary demographic.
I disagree. Did you watch the video? Back when Team Rocket actually saw character development, back when they appeared every episode, back when Brock was calmly stirring his whisk as he stares into a raging forest fire, back when a man was being mobbed by Zubats so naturally Ash whips out his Pokedex to listen to a lengthy spiel about how they're bats that prefer to live in caves or some shit instead of helping the guy.

I'm not speaking out of nostalgia either. I had only watched the occasional episode here or there growing up. I had never actually sat down long enough to really give the series a watch until college when my suitemate broke out his box sets one night.

>>53971276
They never planned on doing the Buu saga. That was known from the start.

>>53970728
But Dragonball (Z), Pokemon, and Yugioh are shit
And FMP and Haruhi are good.
