>>7218982
Get the hell out of here, you fucking Char Clone.

pic unrelated.

Twenty right here. But sometimes, I feel older than I actually am. Maybe it's because the only other anime fans I've met in real life are either into Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, two out of the three mentioned, or all three.

No one ever talks about Gundam, they all call it "That one Transformers show in space".

>21 year old master race reporting in.

1990 is best year because it was the last decade of the 20th century. Aug. 1st b-day.

Also, I got my name from the 'fictional' material that the Gundrium alloy is mainly.

because I was introduced into Gundam by G-Gundam, /m/ will always be /m/anly.

I haven't seen one in the entire year/ year and a half I've come here.

I'm quite unlucky, in that respect I guess.

This thread is making me feel old and I want to be 21 again. Is 3 years really that long?

>>7219973

I guess?

All I know is that it's all a matter of perspective.

Also, why are there no good 'western', as in made (originally) in like, Britain, or America, or Canada for pete's sake.

>>7220013
>Also, why are there no good 'western', as in made (originally) in like, Britain, or America, or Canada for pete's sake.
Because, for the most part, westerners like fiction that's a bit more grounded in reality when they grow up, so giant robots don't show up that often since they fly in the face of that.

But spaceships, power armor, and all sorts of other /m/ things? The west is all over that shit, assuming the production has the budget for it.

>>7219038
38 year old here, and I loved the old Godzilla movies. They got me into Japanese cinema which led me to finding anime, well beyond knowing it in its Americanized forms as Star Blazers and Robotech.

Made this little doohickey for /a/, but since we're talking ages, I guess I'll post it here.

Speaking of ages, does anyone have even an inkling of how old VF-Kun is? I say 40s.

>>7220057
To be fair, we are seeing a lot more mechs in Western works; even ignoring the Bayformers movies, we've seen the Prawn exosuit, the mechs from Falling Skies, and the Atlas from ME3, for example.

The problem is that CGI is still pretty expensive, so you can't get a lot of stuff with mechs in live action productions unless you have fucktons of money. It's easier with cartoons and games since everything is CGI and thus you don't need to make everything photorealistic to blend in with the people and environment.

Unfortunately, the 'stereotypical western' western thinks cartoon=childish.

By choice, I assume, since any woman can find some guy to fuck them if they really want to get laid.

Anyway, don't commit suicide. No matter how shit your life might seem likely, it can always get better. Try finding something worth living for outside 4chan too.

One year older than Ruri.

First /m/ anime was Gundam Wing.

But I'm probably too young. And you're probably somewhere far away. And not interested.

>>7221459
>26 year old virgin fe/m/anon
Assburgers, incredibly ugly, or a mix of both? A woman can get laid in a single night just by offering it enough times, unless it's the latter. And even then, you'd have to be REALLY ugly.

>>7221552
Shut the fuck up and stop being so politically correct. If she wants to off herself she has the right. What exactly is so great that it's worth sticking around for another few decades of mediocrity anyway? Entertainment just distracts you from your meaningless existence until the inevitable and sex is just something you're programmed to enjoy for the sake of reproduction but it isn't all that impressive. Plus children are disgusting little monsters with no sense of empathy or morals, I would hate to live with one.

Life sucks and you eventually die, stop trying to defend it like it's so great. Inb4 "then kill yourself faggot;" I would but I'm afraid of dying, probably like a third of the people here.

>>7221710

Does that mean that being alive is bad and dying sucks too?

>>7221725
Yes, life is meaningless and dissapointing but we can find brief moments of happiness here and there. To cope with this mankind created myths about some kind of afterlife that's many times better than actual life; of course they had to make killing yourself a disqualifier for access to this life. Otherwise we would all just check out early when things got tough.

20 years old reporting in.

>>7221737

Oh, I think I understand.

So we're alive just for the sake of it, since dying is a void?

No, wait, I live because of a promise I made. So maybe we can live because we want something, right?

>>7221754
I don't know what you mean by a promise you made and I don't want to turn this into a long pointless dialogue of internet philosophy. You can try to find a reason to live but the point is that I hate how people villify suicide when the truth is that life really has no meaning and yes, dying is a void. If you want to tell yourself otherwise go ahead but it won't change anything.

1992 master race.

Anything above is shit-scum of the earth tier.

>>7221737
>>7221710
What a horrible way to live. If that's really what you think, I pity you.

I mean, sure, life has pain and suffering. But it's what you let it be. When I've been to some incredibly poor parts of the world, the one thing I've noticed is that the kids there have always been much more cheerful and energetic than kids here in the developed world. By all measures, these kids are much worse off. They have none of the luxuries we enjoy, will have to work their arses off just to survive, and are quite likely to die much earlier than most of us in the first world would expect to of an easily preventable illness.

And yet, they're happy. They enjoy themselves. The older ones work so hard, but they don't complain, whine or moan about it. Why? I'm not sure I can come up with a satisfying answer. But I suspect it's because things like happiness and sadness come from yourself.

Having things won't make you happy. Being successful or rich won't make you happy. Having friends, a partner, or just sex won't make you happy. You can choose to whine about the unfair bleakness of the universe and the pointlessness of our brief existence, or you can choose to enjoy yourself. Go watch a movie, and don't analyze it, just enjoy it. Chat with someone. Make yourself a nice meal, or go to a restaurant. Go for a jog. Finish that model kit sitting on yourself. I don't care how you do it, but enjoy yourself. Be happy with what you have. Life has a lot of good things to enjoy, if you're not determined to be unhappy.

>>7221767

Hm, that was helpful anyway. Thank you.

>>7221775

Nice to know there's more people that share some of my views.

>>7221775

First of all, 20 year old here, will turn 21 in just a couple of months. Now that's done.

Don't bother arguing about this. Seriously, don't. If someone can't derive any kind of enjoyment from living, then they should off themselves so we don't have to hear them whine and moan about it. I don't agree with suicide, I think it's a pussy's way of dealing with things, but seriously. If you can't live life just for the sake of wringing every single drop of enjoyment you can from existence, then you need to go kill yourself so the rest don't have to hear you moan about how awful life is.

>>7221775
I don't pity myself because I know that my quality of life is incredibly high compared to people that have real problems. People in poor countries are happy with less because they've never known anything else. But look at somebody from rural China who gets to work in a shitty factory in a city for a few years. When they have to go back a lot of them cry continuously and some become suicidal. If they knew how low their quality of life was in the first place they wouldn't be so content.

I don't care that life is pointless and unfair. I can't convey tone ove the internet but if I were talking to you right now it would be in a flat monotone. This is the world as I see it, it isn't good or bad it just is and I don't need to lie to myself to make other people feel better. If you want to tell yourself that your worthless life has meaning because you tell yourself it does be my guest.

Just remember, someday you'll die and any evidence that you and everyone you know even existed will completely fade. Even humanity's existence will eventually be wiped from the record and on a cosmic scale it won't matter. It's actually pretty liberating once you realize how pointless your life is.

>>7221797
You know, I was like you a few years ago and you know how got past it? Not giving a fuck and just rolling with the punches. I ain't saying it'll make you totally normal, but it'll make you a bit more personable.

>>7221797
>liberating once you realize how pointless your life is
Ah, guys, don't bother with him. He didn't make next step, so your words won't reach him. It's something that one should realize himself, not being told or teached.
Oh, and 24,5 here.

>>7221806
Okay this is the last post I'm going to make because I'm sorry for derailing the thread.

Let me make something clear, I am NOT depressed. I don't care that life is unfair I just look at it matter of factly. If you're all so happy telling yourself life has meaning why do you give two fucks if I acknowledge its futility?

>>7221797

Oh look, one of these "so edgy" faggots who think speaking in monotone and acknowledging that life has no meaning is cool. Go wash your mouth with a shotgun. Seriously, you're one of the most annoying beings on Earth.

Of course life has no meaning, I acknowledged it LONG ago and I'm fucking 20. I just roll with the punches, but you know what? I enjoy what life has to give. I actually have a social life, which I'm sure you've missed out on because you're so edgy and see life as worthless, and derive pleasure from watching a movie, playing a videogame or spending time with people I like. I'm willing to go through whatever life throws at me just so I can have more fun.

And, honestly, only faggots despair over "oh on a cosmic scale we're nothing all proof of our existence will vanish". Who the fuck cares, you'll be dead when that happens.

>>7221797
You're a pathetic spoiled brat.

Go down to a soup kitchen and talk to the people there about the meaning of our existences. Go to the pallative ward of your local hospital and talk to some of the people there - or more, volunteer there for a bit.

Talking about the meaning of one's existence and the insignificance of life on a cosmic scale is a pointless masturbation-like luxury that anyone who actually indulges themselves in it doesn't deserve. You want meaning? Go and try and help some people. Try and leave a mark, leave the world a better place. Help people. Try living, and doing it not just selfishly but to better the lives of others.

And if you do, when you've passed, they will remember you. The more lives you touch, the more of a footprint you leave on the world, the longer your legacy will remain. And sure, it'll all be forgotten eventually as we all die out blah blah blah WHO GIVES A SHIT. That kind of perspective is utterly ridiculous.

And let's not forget that you're assuming you know everything about how the universe works and how the future will unfold. Can you say for certain there's no God or other higher existence? Can you say that humans won't find a way to transcend a temporary existence? Can you say any of your beliefs on this are -true-? If you do, you're lying. It's just your opinion, your belief.

come for the /m/echa, stay for the existential arguments.

>>7221827
>Try living, and doing it not just selfishly but to better the lives of others.
>And if you do, when you've passed, they will remember you. The more lives you touch, the more of a footprint you leave on the world, the longer your legacy will remain.
They really should include brofist into next internet protocol.

23, most people think I'm like 18. On campus people will ask me, "how long have you been here," and I'll say, "going on five years," and sometimes they'll ask if I started early but most of the time they just admit to thinking I was a lot younger.

ITT, three things happened:

I found out Ruri is about my age so I can ask her out
/m/ is full of cool guys. I mean, cooler than I thought
I realized living is what you make of it.


So I decided to stay on /m/ for 2012. Survive another year, you guys

>>7221832
Come for Gundam AGE, stay for the DEEP discussion in the age thread.

One last thing.
>If you're all so happy telling yourself life has meaning why do you give two fucks if I acknowledge its futility?
I care because life has meaning. People have meaning. And someone taking this kind of attitude is a sad waste. Although I doubt my words will affect anything at all, even so, I want you to be happy, and to do something with your life. Even if you ignore me, even if it's lost in this den of trolling, shitfighting and opinions, even if you think I'm foolish or that it's meaningless, know this - I care about you. I care about what you do, and I care about your happiness. And I may never address or encounter you again, but that's fine. Even so, please. Be happy with your life and yourself.

>>7221850
Keep in mind that most underage are either not going to post, or post a false age.

I'm assuming OP is right about where you start wondering if you're waisting all your time with 15 year old brats who argue about everything, and are only knowledgeable about their fandom; something I think most level headed folks go through. Unfortunately there is a high concentration of underage&ban.

31 going onto 32 in three weeks

>>7221860

I'm not that nice, so I will continue to suggest that person sucks on the business end of a shotgun and pulls the trigger so we can be rid of their incessant bitching about their most likely simple and comfy existence.

I do not believe life has any meaning. Doesn't mean it's not worth living for what it has to offer. Interacting with people, reading a good book, enjoying good music. I'm pretty sure these are impossible to do if you're pushing up daisies. So, honestly, in a cosmic scale I think we're nothing and yes, all evidence of our existence will vanish sooner or later. My advice is to not give a flying fuck, as you'll be dead long before that happens and thus you won't be able to care, and go enjoy all that brain-numbing fun life has to offer. Go get drunk and go pick up a completely stoned random girl at a new year's party or whatever.

>>7221862

Well, I didn't actually post my age. But anyone who can add knows it. I just gotta wait to see if I'll get banned now.

>>7221880
>I will continue to suggest that person sucks on the business end of a shotgun and pulls the trigger so we can be rid of their incessant bitching about their most likely simple and comfy existence

Big talk from a guy who wants somebody to kill themselves just because voluntarily reading their posts on the internet inconveniences you.

Why did this whole string of existential arguments remind me of the final exchange between the hero and villain in a Gundam show?

The 20s thing shouldn't be surprising, given the fact that we grew up in time to see Toonami and get hooked on mecha.

You know, that's a good question.

Maybe we should do something about that.
