Expect Pokemon, Yugioh and maybe a DBZ joke, if you're lucky.

Wow it's almost like parodying something meant being intentionally exaggerated.

they're exaggerating super old shit that everyone else has done thousands of times before

Honestly, there's so much stuff they could parody, but they never do, since they know shit about anime.

It's accurate enough for the general audience. An exaggeration of 90s shounen anime works well enough sadly.

But this isn't exclusive to anime, look at how shows often treat video games, or hacking. Try watching the average cop/law/medicine show when you know how those fields actually work, it's the same thing.>>135732711

Yeah, this sort of thing is a bit more prominent nowadays. Probably because the writers usually are fans of/ have a better understanding than most older writers regarding anime.

That, and Paul Robertson's super cool.

>>135733518
God, the number of times even post-2010 I've seen shows depict video games as someone wanking an atari controller while the TV makes bleep and bloop noises with some mention of "I have to get to the next level" and other shit that makes it sound like something that could only have been in an arcade in the 80s is painful, and I barely even play video games anymore. The lesson this thread should boil down to is that whenever normalfag media tries to depict anything more niche in interest than American Football it inevitably ends up cringy and painfully out of touch.

Except certain fetish threads are being deleted not according to the rules, but purely because the mod doesn't like it.
Thus yesterday's foot thread is killed within 5 minutes but the midriff thread lasts until its natural death.
Looking through the archive there are way more threads than usual being deleted that don't break any rules and it's not the first time a mod was decided their power means the rules don't apply to them.
Troid and Redwood going on anti-loli sprees in the last year or two are probably the most obvious examples though I think this is someone else.

It gives me a lot of hope for this future generation though because how many kids are going to later discover stuff like Eva thanks to shows like Steven Universe?

We may see anime become as mainstream as comic book stuff is today, after all characters like Wolverine and Iron Man used to be for nerds and today they make huge blockbuster movies featuring these characters.

They need to aim for things the general audience will get, so they target the perception of anime rather than actual anime. That of course raises the question of why bother at all but that's a different matter.

>We may see anime become as mainstream as comic book stuff is today
And have you seen how the mainstream has watered down and raped it? Why would you ever want the same thing that happened to the Marvelverse to happen to anime? Do you like everything you took time and effort to get into and cherished as a fan and followed every small obscure character and storyline for turned into some popcorn blockbuster that Disney can shit out nonstop merchandise for? Being a serious capeshitfag in the modern age has to be one of the most painful things there is, why would you ever wish that on another fandom? I mean, Eva is basically already like that in Japan, but I don't see why any other series should have to suffer so.

I don't follow those movies, I thought they were all pretty well received by comic book fans?

If I'm wrong though and it's watered down shit then no, I don't want that to happen to anime, but maybe it's going too far to say that it will ever be THAT mainstream, but at the very least it does ensure there will be a next generation of fandom and that's a good thing, right?

Yea, I'm a bit confused as to what this guy is trying to get across.

Sure there are capemovies that are shit, like Iron Man 2 and Man of Steel. But even the movies that very well received don't stay faithful to the comics.

Characters like Wolverine and Iron man haven't been "obscure" for decades, One could argue they were never obscure.

Calling something watered down just because it has a wider appeal is childish,

I doubt those are very popular in Japan, least of all among anime professionals.

>>135735739
>We may see anime become as mainstream as comic book stuff is today
Anime is never going to become mainstream aside from one or two children's shows here and there (and I think the time for that has already passed, and domestically produced shows are more popular). The cultural gap between anime and American culture is just too wide.
>>
>>135735739
>We may see anime become as mainstream as comic book stuff is today

Not gonna happen. Some Japanese game developers are already avoiding publishing content that may be deemed "problematic" in the west because of the ongoing trend with the portrayal of women in video games. If manga and anime gets the same exposure to the west, it's not that hard to imagine it getting similar treatment.

If it happens it will result in the same thing happening that happened to videogames when they became mainstream. Anime and the Western market need to be kept as far apart from each other as possible because of you-know-what forces that control Western media now.

Some Western companies have started investing in anime production (Netflix and Crunchyroll at least), which I think is very worrying. Crunchyroll doesn't even know what anime IS (they classify RWBY as anime).
