>not watching old school anime on a CRT
>>140720567
Only with video cassettes or poser.
We really need a retro anime board. The threads can't survive amongst the teenbros on /a/, and /m/ should be left for mecha.
>>140720740
>/m/
lmao
>watching anime
>>140720740
It'd be better to just leave /a/ like it is, nuke a few of the more offensive generals, and make a containment board for seasonal shows
>>140720740
>teenbro
I'd tell you to go back to shitposting on warosu if that was actually possible
>4:3 aspect ratio
>CRT
enjoy your cancer generator
>>140720567
Of course I still watch my old VHS anime on a s
Panasonic CRT. I have Slam Dunk, YuYu, GitS and many others. Feels comfy as fuck to be honest.
Watching DYRL on a shitty CRT is one of the most asinine things someone could do so I'm going to assume this is bait because no one is actually that retarded.
>>140720907
>a containment board for seasonal shows
That's a really good idea, the posting speed of /a/ would drop significantly, giving older series and OVAs more of a chance.
>>140720940
There are still the /jp/ spin-offs, but I've never been one for shitposting.
>>140720567
I'm still using a 4:3 17" CTR Monitor
>implying
>>140720567
I have that exact tv. i play my wii on it. its heavey as hell.

Looks like those pics people on tumblr take to get aesthetic notes.
Also you can't take screencaps.
>>140720567
I just use a scanlines and CRT filter over my video, silly.
None of this pleb MadVR shit, the PURE INTENDED experience.
>>140720979
My computer monitor is like this. Not CRT though. Has a slight discolorated blob at the top middle and a single dead pixel but it's still going strong.
>>140721141

Wow, how trendy
>>140720979
I use a 4:3 LED monitor because it's better for the work I do.
>>140721541
I'm sorry you didn't have cool parents, anon.
>>140721541
Haven't you introduced your waifu to your parents yet?
For anyone interested in older anime:
>>>/qa/508640
>>140721541
How do you know its their parents? For all we know its probably some douche that paid someone to act it all for jewtube views.
>>140721510
All it needs is Megaman X and Life After Death on cassette for max nostalgia for me.
>>140721646
It's easy to discuss older anime when your thread is more than "Lol I'm a hipster with an old TV" or "All new anime is moeshit!".
>>140720907
It's be better to split /a/ into separate boards for anime and manga and contain the kids in the new anime board
>>140721587
This is for you, anon
Splitting /a/ has never been a good idea, save for maybe image dump boards like /c/.
>>140721073
>That's a really good idea, the posting speed of /a/ would drop significantly, giving older series and OVAs more of a chance.
That would basically be the death of /a/. There are only a couple of older series that have threads that go over 100 replies before they die. We'd basically be stuck with the same few memethreads about NGE, Berserk and LoGH
>not watching shitty 50mb rips downloaded from some ftp at 5kb/s
well that were my beginnings. no vhs or cable anime at my country at that time
now i dont really care
>>140721856
I think /a/ would be better if the Anime/Random board came back to keep threads like these off /a/

There's nothing wrong with slow boards. You can't make threads about older shows because they just get bumped off these days. If they lasted long enough for people to find them over a few days you might get some actual discussion and not just rampant shitposts
>>140721658
Its his parents faggot. This guy has like no subs.
We can learn from /v/ ironically enough. When it was split into it's many boards, the effect it had on the already shit /v/ was staggering. We don't need that to happen to /a/.
>>140721819
Bit too expensive. I've considered it but I'm fine using my 1280 x 720 monitor.
>>140721886
>There are only a couple of older series that have threads that go over 100 replies before they die.
Because /a/ is too fast. Of course NGE, Berserk, and LoGH get lots of replies, they're all considered "/a/ canon". Try making a thread for DNA², Touch, or even Kimagure Orange Road, it will be gone within an hour.
>>140721646
Stop. There's no need to split the board.
Sometimes I get the idea to convert this or Evangelion or Ranma into files my Xbox can read and watch it on my CRT via XBMC, or buy something that can put video files from my PC onto actual VHS tapes
Then I usually decide it's way too much effort and forget about it until threads like these show up
>>140721541
Im sorry your parents suck anon. My parents dont even care about what i watch or do. I showed my parents my figures and they actually started to buy figures for themselves because they like how they look. Whenever i go over to their house i can find 1 or 2 new figures. Its gonna suck when they die.
>>140721984
Or we could just accept the fact that those shows have been discussed to death and nobody wants to talk about them anymore, save a few people who can't move on with their lives
>>140722087
>/a/ is too fast
/a/ is actually pretty slow compared to what it was a few years ago. We have many threads that last on average 2 or 3 days such as the /ak/ threads. We also had that stride show thread that lasted an entire week.
>>140720740
I for one will welcome an /ar/ board.
>>140721984
I meant basically what >>140722144 said.
Either they have been discussed to death or are too obscure for a discussion to start
Cross-post from /qa/.
I'd say split /a/, which I have been wanting since 2007.
>/a/ for Anime in general
>/asg/ "Seasonal Anime Generals" (for shit that's airing right now, and still is not fully released on BD/DVD)
>/ma/ for Manga
>Anime/Random back (/ab/) to keep meta-threads ("Best girls in their respective series" etc) out of discussion boards.
I personally think that /ar/ would suffer from the same problems /vr/ is going through.
Plus we need more weeb boards, period.
old anime looks better in hd than new anime though
>>140722272
Or people don't know about the "classics" and because threads get killed off so quickly, don't discover them (through /a/).
>>140722352
2/10
>>140722467
What's bait about it?
>>140722421
Nah, it's really that they've been discussed to death.
Generals are, generally, garbage, but if what we tried a /retro/ general on current /a/? If we consolidate all of the threads that people want to make but know they can't, because they won't last an hour, we'll be able to discuss our retro shows 24/7 with no fear of having to constantly bump a thread. LoGh, NGE, and the like probably shouldn't be welcome there, though, because they can survive on their own. I'd like to think that it wouldn't turn into a circlejerk, due to the assumed maturity of people that can watch old stuff.
>>140722352
The only thing I would agree with is /ma/ only because I despise random manga dumps in threads. A crosslink would be fine.
Also /a/ would be kill without seasonal posting so /asg/ really shouldn't happen.
>>140722421
Or most of the people constantly making awful threads on /a/ only care about the big FotM series like Kill la Kill, Sword Art Online, One Punch Man, or TTGL.
>>140722583
>I'd like to think that it wouldn't turn into a circlejerk, due to the assumed maturity of people that can watch old stuff.
Take a trip to /vr/ and see.
>>140720567
>not having an oled or quantum dot display with a far wider color gamut and dynamic range than any CRT
>>140722352
You are absolutely retarded and your solution to this is to make more fucking boards for absolutely no reason instead of removing the generals outright. Who would you even discuss anime with given what you're proposing? The entirety of /a/ is at least 50% generals by now. You won't be discussing anything with them because they watch a single show each season and hole up in their generals. Either you educate them on not being worthless crossboarding garbage or you ban them outright.
Please stop posting for the sake of all of us.
>>140720567
I do, tough.
CRT > LCD.
>>140720740
Yes a place to contain all those hourly NGE generals
>>140722272
I dunno, there's a lot of willingness to talk about old shows, the "forgotten anime" threads lately sort of prove that.
>>140722352
We don't really need more boards, but less non-weeb boards that leak out and ruining everything else. Won't happen though, since anime related content is rapidly moving into the minority on the site and Hiro doesn't give a shit
>>140722598
It's optional. /a/ for all-purpose / all-shows, /asg/ with a general for shit that's showing (but doesn't necessarily have to be excluded from /a/).
>>140722671
>removing the generals outright
Yes. By moving them to their respective new boards.
>Who would you even discuss anime with given what you're proposing?
There's still /a/, and the generals on /asg/.
An /ag/ would not work like /vg/, because shows eventually end and are discussed to death.
Did you even read the post?
/nge/ - Evangelion shitposting generals board

That's what I want, but that's not happening thanks to 4chan's userbase being less and less wapanese and more /v/-tier shit.
>hurr anime is shit
>hurr fucking weebs
>hurr 4chan isn't animu-first no moar
Hell even the third post in the /qa/ thread is

>>140722776
>the "forgotten anime" threads
I haven't seen them too often, but don't they just turn into rec threads?
>>140721983
These threads make /a/ fun
We need to secede from the Union.
If 2ch has an Eva board why 4ch can't?
>>140722873
idk, /vr/ came out as the clear winner when /v/ got split up. It's just a board full of pre-1999 video game discussion without memes and the "muh board culture entitles me to shitpost" attitude.
Then again, there's a hell of a lot more to talk about when it comes to pre-1999 video gaming than it does when it comes to pre-1999 anime
>>140722923
Close the ports.
Make /a/ great again.
>>140722948
You forgot to mention that /v/ is like three times bigger than /a/.
>>140722997
>Then again, there's a hell of a lot more to talk about when it comes to pre-1999 video gaming than it does when it comes to pre-1999 anime

I watch anime and kick back
normalfags have a heart attack
I have a dakimakura of best girl

Anybody know of any imageboards that cater to retro anime fans?
/jp/ has several spin-offs, /a/ has Samachan (I think it's /a/ with a /jp/ flavour), so maybe we should have our own imageboard.
>>140723051
They're nice to have on hand for old rhythm games, too.
>>140722928
Because every Eva thread we already have inevitably descends into that one guy spamming that Asuka is a tranny while the other guy spams that Rei is a toilet. Do we really need a whole board of that?
>>140722911
It's usually just people bring up a show they really liked (or hated) and talking about it. There's some recs in there but there's nothing wrong with recs honestly, just the kind of people that typically make them.
>>140723136
Yes.

Of course it wouldn't you fucking retard.

Did you even read mine? Are you even aware of the current state of moderation?
Do you think that '/asg/' would not be circlejerks 24/7? It's like you want a personal moderator/janitor assigned to each thread to make sure each show's thread goes well, every thread. /a/ posters that know how cancerous it is will never move to /asg/ and you'll still have the same retards never move from their 24/7 generals that would supposedly interact with others in the new boards.
This is your ____ tonight = ban

I fucking hate splitfags so much, they know nothing. I bet they browse /a/ for three hours per day and then complain that no one discusses their favorite show from the 90s. It's like some reddit mentality. There's a reason currently airing shows make up the majority of threads.
Also, an important aspect is the fact that older shows are passé, which means that they are less in touch with Current Year, which in turn means they are less relatable. I think that matters a lot for OC creation.
Anime and manga also go in hand, you choke potential discussion by restricting them to themselves.
>>140724530
The problems isn't new shows being discussed or what year they're from its shit like >>140721983 where there is no discussion threads full of shitposting.
>>140722612
Is Sword Art Online big? I just recently watched it on netflix and it was ok-ish at best, the only part that I really likedwas how the saved the save the girl plot until the end, that way you felt like the MC urgency was real, instead of just an excuse plot
>>140720907
>a containment board for seasonal shows
Discussion of seasonal shows is what makes /a/ /a/. All of the iconic moments in this board's history (Endless 8, Geass Sundays etc.) were a result of what was at the time currently-airing anime being followed by the board together. There is a reason discussion of older shows is less common, because there is objectively less value in discussing something that has been discussed since the mid-90s than in discussing something that has new content coming into being to be dissected for the first time. Not discussing currently airing anime with /a/ and keeping yourself to whatever threads pop up for series you've already completed is the surest sign that you're a redditor that has watched less than 20 anime in your life. If you want discussion of ancient series everyone has seen with nostalgia goggles strapped onto your head, then just fucking leave this board, because every other fucking generic anime forum on the internet already caters to that. If you don't keep up with currently airing anime, you don't really like anime, and as /v/ proves, people who don't really like a medium should just get the fuck off of a board for discussing it before their cantankerous ignorance shits up the board around them. Tl;dr people who seriously propose making an /ar/ board should be banned on sight for the good of people on this board who actually like anime.
