Moments in anime you wish you could have seen /a/ react to for the first time.
This. What was /a/'s reaction to this when it happened?
Not as extreme as to the chess game. It was still one of those fucking annoying Chode Gayass Sundays that year.
>>139562324
You mean the false checkmate?
>>139562060
"fucking finally"
I was here actually, but a day late on it.
Evangelion's last two episodes. Truly anime's 9-11
>>139562060
I missed so many hype trains...never again.
GC threads were the dope back than.
Good times
The finale of Panty & Stocking, aka the time when Gainax stole Christmas.
I was actually around for it. I just wish I could experience the sheer WTF factor all over again. Even the characters of the show were trolled.
>>139562060
The real question we should be asking is... What was /pol/'s reaction?
>>139562060
I watched this years after it first aired, but being new to anime had no fucking idea this was going to happen.
I actually thought it was a decent way of advancing the plot, adding to Lelouchs character development as well as having a twist.
>>139563459
GC (Guilty Crown) or did you actually mean CG (Code Geass)? I'd think /a/'s reception during their airing might be a lot different
>>139562060
It was pretty insane. The general consensus was that it was hilariously bad and everyone from that moment on loved Code Geass for being stupid and fun.
>>139563201
>SAO - 1 year
>MC gets his hand cutoff
>it is fun
I don't get the point. Maybe you should replace "awesome" with "edgy".
>>139563797
Wait. There was a reaction for Sword Art Online?
>>139564001
Yeah it got shitposted to oblivion every time someone made a thread.
I wasn't there. What was the reaction?
>>139563311
That was a fun summer
>>139564052
I've been here for most of the big /a/ events. I do regret not being here for the live threads for a number of shows. I loved the live stream threads for Gurren Lagann and regretted any week I couldn't be there live in the moment.
The one I wish I had seen with /a/ is Mai-Hime. So many moments. Like when the show gets serious at the midpoint, or when people start to die one after another, and, of course, that ending.
>>139562060
The climax livewatch threads for Gurren Lagann and Penguindrum were pretty amazing.
Much trauma, many tears, but worth it.
It was a good time, Moot fucking around with the board in general.
>>139564052
That was the most fun I've had on 4chan
>>139563311
I know that feel, anon.
>>139564380
Also, /a/ ruined Ryuuko and killed Senketsu in an interactive story thread between the two seasons.
What otaku references did you find in this week's Lucky Star?
>>139564244
I vaguely remember being here for Mai-Hime but I didn't watch it so wasn't interested so much in it. The earliest reaction thread I remember was Genshiken's first season, which was a sticky.
What was /a/'s reaction to Rolo's death?
>>139564565
None, because I don't watch that piece of shit.
>>139564575
Oh shit, I never realized that Genshiken aired while /a/ existed (the first season, that is). I mentally assumed it aired earlier. Thanks, now I feel bad about that too.
>>139564579
A mixture of manly tears and celebrations. He was a bit of a polarizing character for some.
>>139564052
What a nice ride, anon.
>Watching ep23 in stream with half /a/ in chat.
>Suddently gif related happens
>Chat literally died for the overflow
>>139564579
Personally, I was sad Lulu didn't blow his fucking brains out.
It was funnier than /a/'s reaction to cross ange.
How did /a/ reacted to L dying?
>>139564912
It was hilarious
Madoka episode 3.
I was busy with college stuff and hadn't picked up Madoka at the time. I regret not having experience it for myself. It wasn't quite the same after having seen pictures of it over and over.
>>139564912
Ladies Night was a pretty big event, but we all knew his fate from the manga. The real clusterfuck moments on /a/ tend to be for non-adaptation anime.
Did School Days and True Tears ends had some reactions or were the shows not popular at the time?
>>139565148
Nice Boat was a pretty big deal, I didn't follow SD and yet I enjoyed Nice Boat threads/memes at the time.
>>139565148
School Days finale was a shitstorm since, as you know, it was censored and replaced with a nice boat.
>>139562324
The forbidden move? I wasn't there back then but that really triggered me when I first watched it even tho I had no idea how chess works
>>139562060
I'm content with being there the day Kyoani announced their next anime would be fujobait.
The tears were delicious.
/m/ during Gundam 00 season 1 was fucking insane.
>>139565375
FUCKING RIBBONS!
>>139565478
It's funny because he actually did fuck him in the ass.
>>139564579
I found Shirley's death to be more gut-wrenching. Rolo can suck it.
>>139565548
Shirley's was more shocking.
>>139564579
People were split. Some thought it was really manly, "based Rollo" posts were everywhere, while butthurt Shirley fans were celebrating.
It all depended on how you felt about Shirley really.
>>139565658
More like satisfying. Couldn't stand the bitch.
I already liked Rollo before but I liked him ten times as much after that.
I'm having a hard time thinking of shit storms. I miss not having the archives anymore, though. We used to have so much fun shitposting about dumb shit like the lewdposting about the Heron in Hanasaku Iroha, and now it's all gone.
>>139565658
>>139565548
I was really pissed at that in general and at that incompetent guy just letting her run off.
Only time in my life I've ever gotten angry at anime like that, and I've been watching since Speed Racer in 1980. I had to go outside and take a walk. Thought about canceling all my BD pre-orders.
In retrospect I'm not even sure why I was upset; it's not like I was madly in love with Shirley.

This.
>we will never have entire pages of ROSSIU LIED again
Number of people watching this doubled (or maybe even tripled) after episode 3.
It was like a ride to hell and back after that.
>>139564298
>>139565375
I'm pretty sure Gundam 00 was the last time I ever truly had fun on /m/
>>139562060
It's kind of insane given the contrived phrasing involved, but at the same time, upon rewatch it made a little more sense. Like a lot of Code Geass for that matter.
>>139562324
/a/ can't into a dude (Schneizel) making an illegal move on purpose without any intention of winning the game.
>>139563568
We need more Panty & Stocking.
But without Imaishi, it won't happen at Gainax.
>>139562060
Lacus Clyne got what she deserved in order to start breaking Jesus Yamato, so I didn't complaint.
/a/ didn't exist at the time, but I wish i could've seen reactions to episode 26 of Evangelion.
Trying to decipher what was going on with the Angels was really fun, but if I didn't know EoE
existed, holy fuck that last episode would've made me want to kill someone.
>>139565730
He lives on as a humble merchant.
Jesus guys!! Spoilers!!!
>>139562060
Madoka threads were amazing, especially Episode 10.
https://wiki.puella-magi.net/Threads
Have there been any recent board-wide show phenomenas? I'm talking Code Geass or Gurren Lagann levels, where every fucking thread on the front page was OUGI LIED or FUCK ROSSIU when events happened.
>>139573314
Nothing's reached Geass levels since.
Many have tried, but none have succeeded.
I cry everyday I didn't get to watch this with /a/.
>>139573849
I wonder if the emergence of the catalogue+generals has contributed to that. I want the frenzy again.
>>139573314
I can only think of Kill La Kill. The episode when Harime Nui interrupted the tournament, showed her half of the scisor and said while laughting "I killed your dad" filled /a/ with KLK threads.
>>139573314
We almost had one two weeks ago with the town where I am a cuckhold
>>139573314
Tada Banri
>>139574334
I legitimately had to avoid /a/ while klk was airing, the cancer overload was too strong
Pun-pun's ending was one of the best times I had with /a/
Don't forget the shitstorm after Chelsea/Rabac died in Akg
Index's S2 Last-arc with the livewatch threads
Mami's Head
I fucking loved Loyalty Sundays and still remember fondly how people loved to shitpost theories about Clovis.
>>139565953
Is this Akito 5?
Subs when?
>>139574638
(Laughs)
>>139573314
In terms of pure shitposting only KLK has come close in recent years it even got multiple stickys.
>>139565057
Swimming lessons was pretty fun.
>>139562060
Our reaction was the same as everyone's. A collective OH SHIT but complaining about how stupid it was that he geassd here by accident
>>139574505
anime was fucking shit anyways.
>>139562060
Isn't there an archive for that somewhere?
>>139574672
Not even close to CG levels. The reaction to Taromaru every week was glorious though.
>>139574954
From way back then? Doubt it.
>>139574672
I was mind fucked a bit.
When Kamina died
>>139562060
i wonder what happen if lelouch say 'i wish you going naked and masturbate in public non stop'
>>139567271
I wish I could have seen this. I have a screencap from the moment it happened though.
VVV with /a/ was a blast
>>139574418
That was the most forced shit I've ever seen.

I wish i could see reaction to this for first time again. Radiant Force from 1st ep of GX was quite of ride, too.
>>139581075
This marked the down point of G. Everything after was complete garbage as opposed to amusing garbage.
>>139562060
Geass Sundays were an experience all there own. It wasn't just the reactions to crazy shit in the show, since R2 was such a rollercoaster anons would derail entire threads speculating over pointless details like Clovis appearing for a quarter second in a preview.
>Newfag since 2014
>Barely got to know moot before he died
>Can only look back in awe at the 200X's golden era of /a/
If only a was born a decade earlier.
I hate myself so much for not picking up C3-bu and Valvrave while they were airing.
>>139563597
It didn't exist
>>139574669
When the DVD/BD gets released and someone rips it. Nobody is subbing Akito, so we have to wait for someone to rip the ones on the disks when they release.

>>139562060
The first time I saw unnecessary edge for the edge factor.
>>139574454
>remember ghost banri
>filled with rage
I wish I was here when the last episode for Ninja Slayer aired, or when Bell fought the Minotaur in DanMachi. There are better moments, of course, but I wish I had experienced those here too.
I came here just in time for R2, so I just missed that particular moment but I don't think anything will ever top /CODEGEASS/. Literally the whole board was nothing but Suzaku shoops and chess screenshots.
>>139573314
Boku dake's cuckkening got pretty close.
>>139573314
I don't have the catalog screencap on this computer, but Free's announcement sure was an event.
>>139573314
that sort of shitposting is kind of discouraged nowadays since people like to dub that as "cancer"
>>139574418
with the anime? I think we had a bigger reaction when the manga chapter came out.
>>139574954
archives are dead, and in the process of recovering, I think?
>>139573937
You and me both. That whole show was one hell of a ride.
>>139566861
Am I the only one who thought Takigawa was being blackmailed?
This obviously doesn't count but my favorite board moment when that kid plagiarized Bleach and a bunch of other managas.
>>139564890
>noko
Fuck. This website used to be so poorly designed. Remember when you had to click on an image's filename to open it?
>>139562060
Amagami ep 1. All those Haruka rage threads I didn't check out at the time.
A Tsundere Carol.
White Album 2. I'm so grateful the archives weren't lost after all.
>>139584419
Yes, this was glorious beyond any measure.
Never again shall /a/ know such event.
>>139563459
>GC threads were the dope back than.
No they weren't
>There are people now on /a/ who weren't here when KlK was airing
The very, very least you should be aiming for, is to have been here during the back-to-back final 2 episode live Madoka stream. You get bonus points to have been here when Angel Beats was airing, and you can only start patting yourself on the back during the days of TTGL vs Lucky Star, and R2.
>>139574672
I can tell you what it was like, spoilers all around, people pretending everything was fine and countless
>why is Miki there
>why is the dog there
I stopped frequenting /a/ when this aired.
After watching the finale of S1, I was pretty damn shocked at how things turned out to be, to say the least. I guess it's one of those shows that didn't have that big of a following here.
So, what did you think of it?
>>139573314
This is the most recent, semi noticable thing I remember.
>>139566861
Reminder that broccoli was best boy.
I just finished Another, I can't imagine how hilarious the threads must've been in general.
>>139583546
So much denial and subsequent Butthurt. It was glorious.
Every episode from 14 onwards was such a gift. Well worth staying up late to see the live threads as it aired in Japan. The Shitposting was sublime.
>>139587917Who could forget these?
>>139588027
The series was over after best boy died
>>139587917
This show was so fucking horrible. How did we make it to the end sane?
And oh dear lord that ending was a diarrhea icing on top of the turd cake
>>139588444
It's not the Destination that holds meaning, anon. It's the Journey that counts.
Oh, how we raged! How we shipped and how we got cucked! And that fucking ending - we spent so many episodes dissecting the OP scenes hoping for some clues, the OP itself even. And we were all equally disappointed. Truly a polished turd that pleased No One but united us in our hatred.
>>139588208
Watching CG ending with /a/ would have been great.

/a/ really didn't get into it until Leon went Lost Souls.
Upon Leon going Lost Souls /a/ lost it's shit and we actually got 2 threads maxing out each time the episodes aired from then on.
The Laura death was also pretty lively because everyone was assuming she wasn't going to die because of the ED and the omake
I was around, but I wasn't following the manga at the time. Read the archives and it seemed like a fucking blast.

Fucking blindsided by the dead gf. Goto texting himself to stave away the pain was fucked up man. The way the VA screamed when the texts were deleted.
I'm glad it was never spoiled, but the end came out of nowhere just to fuck my day up.
