Oh look, it's this thread again.

You really think people wouldn't cross-board shitpost and post spoilers regardless? SnK was going to get trolled to hell no matter what happened, splitting the board wouldn't help.

0P is a faggot

>>580733
It would help in ways not directly related to just that.

An entire board of anime threads and an entire board of manga threads. This would make it way easier to find exactly what you are trying to find and discuss.

>>580729 (OP)
Great idea, so now instead of mangafags rading anime threads we'll have manga fags raiding the whole board.
This sounds like a bad idea

>>580738
You could use that as a justification for nearly any completely arbitrary board split. The existence of the catalog kind of makes that moot though.

>>580739
I believe it would be less prevalent.

>>580741
What other boards have two distinct things to even separate? I can see maybe cosplay and Gothic Lolita, but GL would get no traffic.

Bad idea.
Unless the manga is fairly popular, translations come sporadically. The board would stagnate and be nothing but Bleach, One Piece, Naruto, and whatever silly shit SJ is publishing.

>>580754
I thought this was a bad idea until reading this, now I'm sure this must be done.

Here, OP. Do us a favor and read - I mean READ, not skim - these threads before continuing your argument.
They cover much of what you would bring up otherwise and cut out much of the arguing back and forth.

>>580760
Thanks for pointing that out. All the more reason this needs to be done.

God, no. Go away. /a/ doesn't need a split. It needs other things. We've been over this a few good times.

>>580764
Except for all the reasons in all of those threads telling you why it's a fucking retarded idea. Of course, you didn't read any of them, as is incredibly evident by it taking you 4 minutes to reply.

>>580776
I'm not going to read all of these old threads, but if it has gotten this much discussion in the past then it is clearly important to a number of people.

If you have some arguments to make then feel free. From what I see on /a/ this separation is the best thing that could ever happen to the board.

I think moot should just change it from "anime & manga" to "anime". Everyone can still discuss manga on /a/ and it would be exactly the same, but we'd get 99% less faggots asking for a split.

>>580747
No it wouldn't be any less prevalent. If anything it would end up being an encouragement to anyone posting spoilers.

>>580787
It's clearly important to 2 or 3 people, who then turn around a shitpost in their own threads, as seen https://archive.foolz.us/q/thread/563574 Everyone else spent the time telling them why they are being fucking stupid.

The fact that you think I should make the same arguments I've made before is laughable at best. You've made no case for why you actually need a manga board. You can have the discussions on /a/ just fine. There is no reason to spread moderation more thin.

>>580796
How is giving people a place to talk about the things they want to talk about encouraging shitposting?

>>580796
Do you not hear yourself? You have no idea what you're talking about obviously. You spend a week on 4chan and you think you know everything already. Just shut up okay, people are smarter than you and those people are trying to work out what is wrong with the place to make it better, you're making it worse.

>>580797
Telling someone they are stupid is hardly an argument. And if you can't even read this thread to see why these things need to be separated than there is no way I'm going to read 4 threads of people telling eachother they are stupid.

>>580799
And here comes the typical 'you are obviously new' rebuttal. Any anime thread will inevitably turn into a manga thread, same with VN adaptations.
Discussing the adaptation exclusively only makes things easier for someone posting spoilers or the like.

>>580806
>Why they are being fucking stupid
>Why
That means they explained it. Did you read the thread? No, I thought not. I'm actually astonished you want a manga board if you aren't willing to take a few minutes to and follow me here read a fucking thread that explains why your idea is unnecessary and retarded.

>>580808
Don't you fucking talk to me like that you piece of shit i'm fucking done with you.

Don't listen I don't give a fuck if you cry about it but change is coming and there will be people making it happen with or without you

>>580810
You have contributed anything that would make me believe otherwise.

Even really stupid boards like pokemon and mlp actually did bring most of the traffic to those boards. Having w and wg really does seperate anime wallpaper and other wallpapers, making wsg really did bring all safe for work gifs there instead.

I don't know why you don't want to fix this major huge so much but you aren't convincing anyone that this doesn't need to happen.

>>580813
>what the fuck did you just fucking say about me you little bitch...
Sure.
https://archive.foolz.us/q/thread/548344/#551464

>>580820
Read. The. Fucking. Threads. In fact, just read https://archive.foolz.us/q/thread/563574 I made my case in there. You can also see the only two people who thought it was a good idea shitpost up a storm when everyone else informed them why they are stupid. Much like the only person agreeing with you here >>580813. In fact, It's exactly the same type of garbage they spouted, sans the greentext.

I'd really like to see anime/cartoons and manga/comics instead of the current.

>>580827

>>580833
Why do you think your unwanted manga board is so important? Just leave 4chan already.

>>580829
>>580830
Why? People who watch anime and cartoons are the biggest manchildren and shitposters. Grouping them together would be a god send and hopefully, they can get rid of each other.

>>580835
What exactly is your agenda here? What do you personally not like about manga readers using a manga board and anime watchers using an anime board?

What does this prevent you personally from doing that you want to do? In what way does this upset you as a user?

>>580836
>manchildren

Oh you're one of those guys, continue being ignorant freely then.

>>580840
>What exactly is your agenda here?

Not to suck oldfag dick

Time for shit to change so deal with it.

>>580840
It's unnecessarily and serves only to stretch moderation more thin. The discussion can already happen, successfully I might add, on /a/. You've made no case for why the board should exist. It is redundant and serves no purpose.

Why don't you go read the threads with all the arguments that tell you why this is stupid already?

>>580846
You aren't answering the question. Your answer has nothing to do with you personally. Why does this bother YOU so much?

>>580844
Likewise.

>>580848
I did answer that. It stretches moderation more thin, and is redundant and wasteful. The first harms me because less moderation = more shitposting. It also serves to siphon content, unnecessarily I might add, off /a/ and only increase shitposting via redirects to other boards.

You've failed to make a case for the necessity of this board. I have told you why it is unnecessary. I've also asked you to read thousands of other posts as to why it is unnecessary, which you have failed to read even one.

>>580796
>>580808
>>580823
>>580830
Is the biggest idiot in here, hasn't got a clue.

You're not helping shit, you're out to hurt everyone enabling shitposters, perpetuating arguments, just stop.

>>580852
From my point of view you are refusing to give any reason as to why this isn't necessary and ignoring all the reasons that I've given to why this needs to happen.

And by saying that moderation is a "personal" issue that really affects you then you are implying that you moderate these boards. Otherwise I'm going to assume that you are just pretending to be important around here.

>>580857
Wait so you don't actually have to argue for your point or prove a necessity? Well I guess we better make a board for every inane idea people come up with so one person can post on his own board.

You haven't given any reasons that weren't already countered in the posts I linked to. Hell you haven't really given any reasons at all, because there aren't any.

How is moderation not a personal issue? A lack of it negatively affects the board and myself by proxy by making the browsing experience worse.

>>580863
Holy hell just fuck off you mod wananbe. If moderation wasn't nonexistant in the first place then they would be able to deal with manga readers spamming up anime threads.

>>580867
There is no need to. There is nothing against discussing source material in anime threads.

>>580856
I don't need to enable shitposters, /a/ has enough as is. A separate board won't help anime threads at all, manga threads will be the same.
The only thing that helps at dealing with shitposting is better moderation, which is hard to achieve with the amount of ban evaders on the site.

>>580870
And people like you who refuse to change outdated ways and arguing against smarter people with actual practical, modern ideas do nothing but hold back the board you claim to give a shit about. Oh but please don't let me stop you from telling me how much you don't actually give a shit anymore, I know how old age makes a man bitter.

You just don't get /a/ anymore, that's what it is. You can't see it from a fresh perspective. I'll try to explain this to your pea brain, manga and anime are NOT related anymore. What anime has anything to do with manga? No homages, no references, just the occasional adaptation. Manga readers don't watch anime and anime watchers don't need to read manga because it's already adapted so it's time for a split.

fucks sake

>>580879
We have multiple shows this season based on manga.

If you think manga readers don't watch anime, you're fucking stupid. I'm sure there are a few morons who don't, but on the whole that is a ridiculous notion. The same is true in the reverse. Hell a good portion of the Industry is built on using manga to increase the sale of source material, so I am 100% positive there are people who follow the anime back to it's source material. Hell if anything Jojo threads proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

>>580885
>using anime to increase the sale of source material*

>>580885
And every single one of those threads are terrible due to this disconnect.

>>580885
>you're fucking stupid.
Typical ADULT neckbeard calling people names over the internet because he's losing his argument. Way to prove to me your true colors loser.

Also no you're wrong on so many levels it's not funny. Almost all anime now is ecchi original content made by either JC staff or kyoto Animation, none of which came from a manga. Also all those anime is not good. They are not good and I have a problem with people talking about them. I myself read manga and don't care for anime, /a/ is a dreadful place to discuss my medium. A split would allow me and people like myself to flourish in productive discussion something that I've never seen anyone on /a/ in 4 months ever do.

Unless you count generic loli show #4443 of the month. You can stop posting now

>>580892
>Yuyushiki

>>580896
Yuyushiki is great because nobody in those threads has read the manga. Just imagine a whole board as great as that. God damn this needs to happen.

>>580896
That show is fucking retarded looking, people who like anime who like blatant garbage like that are seriously killing everything.

>>580897
But that would never happen. You assume that the only people who would want to discuss an anime adaptation are people who HAVEN'T read the manga. Obviously, people who have read the manga are more likely to want to watch the anime. Creating two separate boards won't change this.

>>580900
No just stop, how hard would it be to tab between boards. Maybe people should stop being lazy, be willing to put forth a little effort for the board they claim to love for the sake of quality.

>>580900
The point is to separate those discussions. That is the only thing that matters.

Not this shit again. Blame yourself for having a shit power level, fucking narutard.

>>580894
I considering everything you have said, yeah I assume /a/ is terrible for people like you. People who know absolutely nothing about anime or manga for that matter.

>Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge
>Karneval
>Hataraku Maou-sama!
>Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince
>Aku no Hana
>Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san
>Shingeki no Kyojin
>Hayate no Gotoku!
>Yuyushiki
>Aiura
>To aru Kagaku no Railgun

All manga adaptations, and I even skipped the ones that are LNs with manga adaptations. The threads discuss both the source material and the anime. There is absolutely no reason to split up this discussion.

>>580902
And there is no reason to do so.

>>580729 (OP)
>I feel that there needs to be a separation between the anime and manga in /a/.
I disagree, but go on...

>Just about every single threads...
>threads
You lost all credibility there.

>...about a particular anime that has a manga is filled with people shitposting about spoilers and how the anime sucks.
So avoid them and go somewhere else. By somewhere else, I don't mean another board to complain. Yes, you're just complaining and nothing more. /a/ will not change because of what you "feel the need" of what needs to be done.

>Since anime and manga storylines are always so far apart in releases there is no way these can be discussed at the same time. This would allow people who are only interested in the manga to more easily find people to talk about it with rather than invading anime threads.
This wasn't even needed. Your blatant excuse for an argument ended when you confused the plural for "thread". I'll say this again, but if you don't like how threads are in /a/, the internet is a big place. Surely there is somewhere you fit in that you will like.

>>580901
>>580902
But you're not going to be able to stop people who have read/watched both from posting in the opposing threads, and there's no need to do so. In the example of Yuyushiki, I'm very interested in seeing people post scans of the manga, especially since it hasn't been translated yet. There almost definitely would be no Yuyushiki manga thread, but the anime gets people interested in it. Trying to push those two aspects of the series apart is unnecessary.

>>580906
Woooooowwww

You're an adult on an image board for youth discussion a medium meant for youth and you still think you have a place to talk or tell people anything. Woooowww you're so pathetic it's so sad. Really get a fucking life before you try to talk to me.

The video game board got a split for old games and new games. The anime board, (which should just be called the anime board) (it's called /a/ after all, not /am/) will one day have a split for old anime and new anime, Why in the world should there not be a separate manga board? Wow just wow, it's no wonder why you keep failing at life

Fail at life

>>580907
>You lost all credibility there.
And you lost all credibility trying to use ad hominems to make a point

>>580909
That doesn't matter as long as they keep manga discussion on the manga board and anime discussion on the anime board.

>>580912
Ironic shitposting is just shitposting.
Oh wait this is /q/

>>580729 (OP)
>liking anime/manga

>>580912
Please tell me this is a troll and you've been trolling the entire time.

>>580920
Pretending to be retarded is just as bad as actually being retarded. He really wouldn't be helping his case either way.

>>580914
But I prefer having them both in the same place. People use the manga to explain questions people have about the anime, and get hyped for certain scenes being adapted. Just because SnK threads are terrible doesn't mean every anime adaptation thread is going to be. I'm also looking forward to TWGOK threads next season, hopefully the 3rd season of the anime will breathe new life into the threads in general. The fans of the series are a community, and there's no need to split them.

>>580912
>The anime board, (which should just be called the anime board) (it's called /a/ after all, not /am/) will one day have a split for old anime and new anime,
And clearly you know this and it will be a definitive fact.

Because /v/ did it.

>>580921
Wow just fuck the fuck off already loser

>>580922
>Just because SnK threads are terrible
They're not really. Just the ones that start with Frodo and retarded OPs. And even then they usually last a while and turn into natural discussion

Also, I'm pretty sure board requests is breaking the /q/ rules so, yeah, fuck off.

>>580928
They turn into manga threads when the thread starters wanted to discuss the anime. Everyone just leaves and the shitposters stay behind.

>>580930
>On-topic discussion is shitposting
Yeah we're done here.

>>580931
>Offtopic discussion is ontopic

Yea, I think you are.

>>580933
>They turn into manga threads about the series in question
>Manga is now off-topic
>On the anime and manga board
You're retarded.

>>580930
It is near impossible to discuss something without discussing the source material. Enjoy people posting spoilers just to spite you each time you make an anime-only-watchers thread.

>>580934
You are fucking stupid it is unbelievable.

>>580936
Did you miss the point of the topic at hand here? We could fix this issue.

>>580937
It's not an issue. The thread is about SnK. They are discussing SnK. It's on-topic discussion.

An idiot that goes to an SnK thread never reading the manga and gets shit spoiled is the real cancer. If you think most manga discussions are about Big 3, you're an imbecile. Despite all the cries against the Big 3, it's not a real issue on /a/. People aren't flooding the main page with Bleach threads- you're pointing at some phantom.

You guys are operating on the assumption there are large number of anime-only assholes on the board like you and the board should belong to them. Almost everyone watching SnK has read the manga- separating the boards wouldn't fix anything.

>>581013
Great, guess there will be plenty of activity on /manga/ to keep them away from /a/.

moot already said that he isn't going to do new boards. If you want to discuss something make a thread on it.

Bad idea, we should split /a/ into way more boards!

-A board for airing anime/ongoing manga
-A board for ongoing OVA's
-A board for anime/manga from the 10's(of 2000) that have finished airing/publishing.
-A board for anime/manga from the 00's(of 2000).
-A board for anime/manga from the 90's
-A board for anime/manga from the 80's
-A board for anime/manga from the 70's
-A board for anime/manga from the 60's
-A board for Seinen action series
-A board for battle shonen.
-A board for Comedy SoL
-A board for Drama SoL
-A board for 'healing' type SoL
-A board for 4koma manga
-A board for Sci-fi
-A board for Romance
-A board for Fantasy
-A board for Comedy.

This is most definitely something 4chan needs. More boards is always a good thing!
