How do I make people on /a/ pick up unpopular shows I like?
you don't
>>142182624
By lurking more
>>142182624
You always argue a priori that said show is a masterpiece of it's genre, and imply subtly that the other poster is uncultured for having not known about it.
Just keep shitposting them everyday or two and some people will probably jump the bandwagon eventually.
Post cute girls from that show repeatedly. If it has no cute girls your show is objectively bad.People would be watching Endride if these cuties had all been in the first 2 episodes.
>>142182624
Shill it.

>Animators get the same shit-pay from working on super-detailed works like this, as they do from other anime
Animation industry is so bullshit.

Some surprisingly honest answers in this thread
>>142182624
Make cool and trendy memes about it.
If it's currently airing, you don't.
If it's previously airing you start making threads about it, posting reaction pictures from the show in random threads, and start bringing it up whenever it works.
>>142182624
I have time right now. Suggest me something.
>>142182624
>waa I won't feel good unless /a/ likes what I like.
An entire generation of weak minded drones needs to be fucking purged. Fucking product of soccer moms and worthless fathers who aren't men.Only the manliest of men can ever hope to be the little girl.

Just get a bunch of people to circlejerk around a show. Le hivermind meme actually gets retards to like something because they see plenty of threads on /a/. It's been proven, every season has 1 show like that, you can easily point out which one is it, just by looking at the thread's quality, plenty of crossboarders and newfags trying hard to fit in.
If you're wondering which one is the one for this season, isRe:Zero
>>142182624
Cherrypick fanservice scenes like pantsu shots or something. Post them as an OP after the episode airs. You can also try shitposting shows. I noticed the more shitposts a show gets the more enjoyable the show is.

Talk about it.
Make OC.
One of my main reasons to learn drawing was to draw porn of obscure shit I want to get attention.

Stop having shit taste in hipster anime; the problem lies in you.

Post really intriguing webms, like this.

He needs to fix the range on that sensor for the door. That must be pretty annoying
First you have to meme that shit up
>>142188325
It's a Star Trek door - sometimes it opens too soon, sometimes you have to slam your fist against it to make it open.
>>142188106
What the fuck?
>>142182771
>Endride
>Google it
>two bishounen on the cover
I can definitely see why people would avoid it. Shit looks like it's targeted at homolust fangirls.
Take lewd screenshot or fanart of the show and make related variant of "this is your date tonight" thread.

It isn't harem anon
Every shounen is like this : two-three useless girls and everyone else is male (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, etc. )

Yoo please tell me this is actually how it is in the anime and not fucking fake subs?
Get a group of autists and make an IRC, shill threads you like and falseflag shit you don't like. Been happening for years.

Yeah they fucked up. Especially the purple haired faggot, he looks like he came straight from a BL comic. I'm not sure if they were banking on fujobucks or not but it's flopped either way.

People on /a/, or rather in general anime fans on the internet, forget that even the most "popular" shows are just blips in the radar to people in the world as a whole. (That includes stuff like SAO, GuP, etc.)
Inside our little niche, we sort ourselves up in this hierarchy, trying to fit in with others by noticing what people are watching, and avoiding shows that aren't being watched by the majority. It's typical social behavior, perhaps programmed through our evolution.
And so it physically hurts us when an "unpopular" show that we actually like isn't well-received by everyone else. We fear for our status in this hierarchy, and we make threads like this to justify this natural urge to fit in. Stalker threads on /a/ is proof positive that we care about our status, because having "good taste" means that you're high up in the hierarchy - in essence, it feels good to belong, and it feels better when we think we've made the correct social decisions.
But you need to remember that the crowd's taste, especially on /a/, is always fussy, and in no time and before they even realize it, they've moved on to something else. They forget that trends don't last long, and an anime is easily forgotten by most people in a year or two.
So don't worry about wanting the rest of /a/, or even the rest of the online population, not liking what you're watching. As difficult as it is for a human being, you need to forget about status and how a series is perceived by others in this circle, and watch shows that positively impact your own life. That's the only way to be happy.
>>142193061
just assume that 98% of people here are newfags who try their best to not give themselves away
>>142193061
We care about what happens in our niche groups anon. It can't be helped.
As much as you want to boil down and try to comprehend, doesn't mean it will change anything.
Just because you know the recipe, doesn't mean it will taste any different.
Also, it feels good to know a show you like gets attention.
>>142182624
Make screencaps of scenes.
Post them repetitively.
Eventually we will like it.
>>142182624
>wanting to make the show become mainstream, and your waifu (if present in said show) become internet's public cum dump
No, you don't like the show
>>142182624
Tell me there's loli fanservice in it. Make it believable.
>>142196000
>love is when you keep this thing all to yourself
>my precious
Truly these are dark times and surely mankind is all but lost to the void.
>>142196168
Depends on what kind of fanservice you're referring to
>>142182624
You need to spark discussions and samefag if you must. Keep it bumped and on the front page at all times
It's honestly a lot of work but you will b8 some
>>142193851
>>142198633
Sounds like you've had a lot of experience with this
>>142198667
Can confirm. Got baited a few times.
>>142182624
Here's a simple solution in six easy steps:
1) Get together with a bunch of friends
2) Start an IRC channel to coordinate
3) Start making threads about the unpopular shows you like
4) Reply to each other and covertly circlejerk
5) Encourage stray newfags/gullible morons when they post in your thread
6) Repeat until you've converted enough retards for it to become self-sustaining
Just talk about it a lot, really. I've tried to sway opinions for a show by shilling it before
