Do you drop games because they have an anime art style?
Anime art style is normie filter.
Yes but only modern games because modern anime artstyle is faggy trash. It was good in the 80s.
>>318514814
Anime art style is a meme, therefore normies love it.

Nah, I actually like how anime style games have colour

Back in the 90s everyone either liked it or were okay with it.

Modern anime, which can now just be called moeshit, is fucking terrible
>>318515050
conservative american old people always hated it because it was japanese.
then you have the jaded capeshit fanboys who are still resentful about anime taking over the world
hating anime isn't popular, it's just a small vocal minority who keeps bitching about it. Just look at them and laugh.
>>318514747
I drop games if they have a style.
I drop them if they haven't an art style whom I like, reason why I dropped Skullgirls.

Sorry breh, forgot I was on a Japanese website hosted in Europe
>>318514747
No, I don't even pick them up
Not because they have an anime artstyle, but if they have an anime artstyle then it is probably a fair assumption it's shit.
For example I loved Long Live the Queen and didn't care that it had an anime style.
Whereas Valkyria Chronicles' anime style was grating because it was also a bad game.
>>318515245
Right, but not all of it is shit.

moeshit are the only non-meme anime these days. While normies are happy to down shit like naruto, onepiece and SnK, moeshit puts them off because it's not "normal" enough.

No, but if the first cutscene in a game is clearly just an anime sequence(i.e. Persona 3 and 4, Yokai Watch, Ace Attorney 5, etc.), it does turn me off a bit.
It makes me think that this shouldn't even be a game and that they should have just made an anime about the same subject matter.

Usually, but I always give it a chance. I don't drop it because of the anime per se, but more often than not because the character designs/art style are usually same face same personality garbage as every other eastern game or show, along with whatever awful writing is included and boring shitty gameplay it contains.
>>318515893
the ones with numbers at the end are unoriginal trash and discarded, so is memecross, Space Cobra is based on an american sci-fi novel remove that one too.
Votoms, Wings of Honneamise and Crusher Joe are good animes, you are right.

Its fine that you had this take away from the titles I listed, but I actually had animation quality in mind when thumbing through my old ass brain for shit I watched in the early 90s.
You do not get shit with the level of detail and apparent passion that was put into [webm related] in modern shit. The bell curve relating to quality for this shit has backslid dramatically since the Nips discovered CG.
Weebs are concerned with being edgy contrarian faggots and jacking off. They love to jack off.
They try to make the volume of jack offs they have appear normal by posting memes, defending it as an "art form" and even going so far as to renounce their attraction to real girls.

Going apeshit at the sight of an anime character is just as bad as worshipping japan.

I know a retard who just spouts this shit he reads about anime to anyone he thinks will listen, like "it's their modern mythology" or some plot summary where all the little girls die horribly.
Basically I doubt anyone really thinks it's the best thing ever, they just can't form their own opinions and memorize useless shit to sound informed.

What the fuck happened?
>>318516306
Here's the joke about that. Sony stopped advertising the Vita because it had too many anime games. At that time, Sony wanted to go the dudebro route so they killed the Vita to maintain that new image.
>>318514747
Anime art style like Chrono Trigger, Street Fighter Alpha, Final Fantasy, things like that? I like that. Anime art style like Neptunia, Senran Kagura, and things like that? Fuck that shit. And it's not like all anime have the same art style (even though a lot do), I judge on a case by case basis.
>>318517848
It's not the norminess itself that is mocked, it's the general ignorance of the normies that become obnoxious if 10 of them ask the same question everyday. If your average person wasn't so goddamned stupid then you wouldn't have /a/'s elitism.
I don't HATE anime artstyles. As a matter of fact, many of my favorite games of all time are JRPGs.
However, I really hate some of the new modern design trends that are now associated with animu looking games. The whole underage panty quest style of game, see stuff like Neptunia and Atelier. Those kinds of games generally do absolutely nothing for me from either gameplay or aesthetic level, so seeing that artstyle on a game is pretty much a redflag for me since most of the ones I've played look and play extremely generic/bland.
I also hate the modern trend of doing fantasy RPGs with super over-designed characters with over the top outfits that really don't mesh with the setting or tone. Modern Tales of games are really guilty of this, among countless others.
I really with Japanese character designers would go back to their roots and relearn lesson number one from design 101: KISS (Keep it simple stupid.)

>>318518067
Im not completely sure. I suppose I didn't get into anime as a separate thing because of toonami. On toonami, it was just more shows I watched.
I think I got into it when I got two issues of shonen jump from the blockbuster when I was like 12 or 13. They were throwing out the previous month's issue so I got that nad the current one.
And thats when I started getting into it.
Though in my opinion like 90+% of anime and manga is trash. Though I suppse that applies to many things.
>>318518109
not really, but they both come out 1 year later, sub almost every show, AND IS WHAT THE CREATOR INTENDED
You're watching fucking anime. If you can't deal with the voices, I can't understand how you can deal with the shows.
Depends on the anime.
If it looks like the garbage on the right, yes. If it's something like in the middle maybe if it's actually good enough.
Based Milo.
>>318518067

What's 2nd from right bottom row?
Honestly, modern anime deserves all the hate it receives.
Don't get me wrong, old school and even 2008~9 Anime was quite decent overall.
Now it's mostly:
>Moeshit
>99% Fan service and 1% plot.
I understand that they must go where the market is, and the current market for Anime right now are sexually repressed forever alone NEETs.
But when did it become like this?
It's a damn shame.

No him, but that anon is clearly lumping them together for their aesthetics.
Both of them are moeblob, otakubait bullshit that comes across super fanservice-y and pandery from an outside perspective, and seem to get by with countless rehashed sequels that sell purely for that reason.
They might not be clones from a gameplay perspective, but they most certain occupy a very similar if not exactly the same niche.
>>318518407
And sometimes (not always, not even usually but sometime) the dub can do a better interpretation of the character.
Besides, I fucking hate Japan's love of really high pitched girls. Makes them sound like children, which I guess is kind of the point.

For me it was power rangers and godzilla that got me into Japanese shit. Then I fell in love with all sorts of Japanese video games before I was completely aware they were Japanese. Then I was the perfect age (around 10) when the pokemon craze hit America. I watched 4kids, which in retrospect wasn't too great, but it introduced me to more anime. I would watch pokemon, digimon, ect. Then Toonami happened and DBZ showed up. I picked up Shonen Jump from magazine stands regularly.
When I was around 13-14 I realized that a lot of the shit I was really into just happened to be japanese.
At that point I became more interested in the culture and country from a more academic point of view.
Now I live in Osaka teaching English to elementary students.
>>318514747
I find that most of the time, the writing in these games is just god-awful. I'm assuming due both to shit translation and modern anime styles relying more on cute characters than actual substance.
>>318518636

Well you can generally find something worth watching at any point in time, but its still mostly garbage.
Though I suppose there was probably a fair amount of garbage in the early 2000s and 90s as well. We just got the best of the best, which is how imports usually go.
Only difference is now in the age of the internet its easier to access everything, including the garbage.

Let me add to that other post:
>he doesn't remember the dark years after Japan realized they could use computers to make anime and literally every show was fucking horrible
Deathnote was fucking trash but it blew up because everything else was worse
Anime is fucking shit.

>anime becomes cool
When did try is happen? /v/ has always looks down on it newfag. Shit even if you have a vidya avatar that's anime you taste in games is automatically shit
>>318519336
What makes Atelier that bad outside of the endless sequels. They literally stated they would go bankrupt if they didn't make the games.
>>318516191

Ok, theres still nothing wrong with it.

oh you were joking
Carry on
>>318515203
No, nippon anime games are shit
>>318519142
You're living in the past.
I didnt used to, when it was a normie filter. But thats no longer the case. As gaming isnt a "culture" in itself anymore because everyone and their dogs (literally) play videogames, people open up to new things all the time and effectively ruin every game with their touch. Fuck videogames.
>>318517552
Why would i want to listen to something that sounds worse and that i don't understand?
>>318519362
Of course, it was yesterday. You missed a lot of fun shows you might want to watch later.
>>318519142
>Anime is a normie thing now with shit like narutos and one pieces, not to mention the Love-Live movies that were actually on theaters and the live-action adaptation of SnK
in japan maybe in the west no

The typical Evafag
I don't tell Japanese people I like anime, No one likes otaku

not even joking. it's moe shit. I went through 4 episodes

>anime taking over the world
>>318519571
what's the last bastion? i have heard that tabletop have gotten a drop off from these people as they have gone seeking other things.
I used to really like anime and watch it religiously, but over the course of the last five or so years my interest in it has really started to wane to the point where I no longer actively seek out new shows.
I'm aware that I'm probably blinded by nostalgia and many of my criticisms against modern anime could easily be applied to the stuff I grew up watching, but the anime formulas and cliches have become really stale for me. It all feels like the same shit. All the action shows are either generic wannabe Big Three garbage or edgy tryhard bullshit. Most comedy shows have become either moeblob slice of life or grossout/ecchi show #12312512.
The same could be said of the anime artstyle itself, which is now (with the exception of a few standouts) almost indistinguishable moving from show to show.
It all feels very safe and watered down. I mean, if that's what modern anime audiences want then so be it. It's a business and that's where the money is. I've just grown kind of jaded and tired of it, and I haven't really fallen in love with a show since fucking Kaiji and that was years ago.
>>318519174
Its not all shit though. One Punch Man is fun, Samurai Flamenco was great, GATE and Steins;Gate were both good shows too. Madoka Magica is also somewhat recent, and Monogatari is still airing too.
There are usually at least 2 decent shows to watch per season.
Considering I actually have a fucking life, that is about all I have time for anyway. As long as not all of it is shit, and there is enough good stuff to keep you entertained, whats the issue?
Also, anime has ALWAYS been like this. 90% is sub par, with only 10% being good- repeat every season.
This isn't just an anime thing. This is an everything thing.
90% of games are trash.
90% of movies are trash.
90% ofyou guysare trash.
>>318518917
so I guess you also don´t think much of people that enjoy the stories of games right?
>>318519614
Anime IS for normies though. Seriously. There was a time when I used to watch chinese cartoons and hid my powerlevel out of shame as it was a shameful thing, but nowadays, even fucking chads watch anime. "yeah I watched berserk, so good dude" and the sheer amount of weird...reverse shame made me stop watching anime alltogether. Even my mother watches anime. I visited her recently and wouldnt you know it, evangelion on fucking TV and she sits there watching it and says "its not bad".
>>318518997
/a/ is truly a shithole nowadays.
Compared to what it was 6-7 years ago, makes me want to kill myself.
Thank god i left that place years ago.
>>318519680
You keep getting me riled up before I realize you're kidding
>>318519142
/a/ and /v/ are so delusional, that if you don't like their specific brand of anime you're a normal fag. Everyone in the world considers naruto fags to be weeabos. However in this place if you hate the shit on the right:
>>318518415
You're a normie.
>>318518461
anime becomes literal meme i think. they are garbage as a work but somewhat fun as a meme image on the internet sometimes.
>>318519614
I attend auniversityand I've literally seen people watching anime in their laptops. They're the normie clique too, not the ones that go to ridiculous otaku clubs but the ones that go to perfectly normal clubs.
>>318519832
Wat.
I can't imagine my mom watching anime, much less Evangelion.
>>318519769
>le 90% of everything is trash meme
Sure, but other communities don't feel the need to brandish their trash in a hope to drive "zee normies" away.
>>318519927
What? last time I checked Naruto was hated on /a/
>>318519705
Over here tabletop RPG's and such dwindled away and you are lucky to find any people in country to play with you in any shape or form. milsims like DCS world and such are always very niche also. Something that normies havent ruined just yet.
>>318519721
I got some news for you son. You might not like it. But everything in life gets more and more stale and and more and more like you describe as you get older.
It is not that things are getting less creative. It is that you have experienced so much of it, not much left can surprise you.
Why do you think jaded 60 year olds who complain about everything exist?
Yeah. That feeling. Imagine it multiplied by 10, and then applied to all aspects of your life.
Best learn to handle shit now, or when you get old you are going to hate everything and have a mid-life crisis.
>>318519769
so 10% of niggers and sand niggers are good too
>>318520039
It is, that is not the point. Dude is saying that anime is for normies with things like naruto, despite the fact that a lot of people associate the word "weeabo" with those ninja head band wearing fags.
Not inherently. A few games with anime-styles happen to be my favorite games.
Some games however place design over actual gameplay so that's the major downside.
>>318519927
The thing about the right-most column is that they're ultra-niche games and have elements that an outgoing person with a reputation to keep wouldn't want to be caught red handed with.
>>318518067
I used to stay up all night watching this German channel in the hopes that they would show bubblegum crises or agent aika. Blew my mind the first time I channel hoped over to it. Og course everything was in german but I did get to see hentai stuff like legend of the overfiend.
Preference is a funny thing
Is not just moe anime artstyle thats a turn off for me
I can't get into cartoons that looks like steven universe, I genuinely feel grossed out a bit by the style, not just the visuals
Also can't get into metal, feels lame and cheesy to me
>>318520113
yep, but only 10%.
>>318520195
Next time a game with that art style gets announced and people here start shitting on it, look for all the posts calling "normies get out, go back to your CoD" and shit like that, as if you're obligated to like it if you like anime.
>>318520074
And jaded 60 year olds are whiny children to 80 and 90 year olds who have realized that you have to create your own happiness and fun.
They're literally the whiny emo kid of decades
>>318518452
The one with "Stella"?
Sakamichi no Apollon/Kids on the Slope.

Redline was also an extreme outlier that took 7 years to make and was animation for the sake of animation.
>>318518049
Wow, rude
>>318520350
Exactly. You fucking get it.
I was trying to explain that the crisis of being jaded towards anime is just jaded 60 year old on a much smaller scale.
Just learn to fucking have fun and be happy instead of a whiny bitch, and you will notice your life improve significantly.
>>318519859
>Compared to what it was 6-7 years ago, makes me want to kill myself.
wut
literally everyone on /a/ was a moe fag elitist back then
>>318519476
>Games designed by females
>Has a mostly female cast
>Older games have cool male characters
>Good RPG gameplay and crafting
>Somehow still shit
The primary audience is comprised of females
>>318519721
>>318520074
Except anime has hit the point where a good chunk of the stuff are just light novel adaptations that are made to act as advertisements.
Getting jaded is understandable and I agree with the points made but anime has hit a wall in "creativity" with what seems to be the formula for the least amount of effort for maximum profit.
>>318519926
not that anon, but did you ever consider he might not be kidding?
A may be a weeb, but at least im not a faggot Milo.
At least anime girls are still girls, and when weebs get into futa, it's girls with dicks, and not men.
>>318520752
Rozen Maiden is a master piece compared to the shit we have right now.
>>318518449
Milo blew it on Joe's podcast. He couldn't stop talking about circumcision and the catholic church.neither could Joe because he's baffled at Milo's view on circumcision
Other than praising that, he's a pretty cool guy.
People can agree with you on certain points and disagree on you on others.
American two party systems have ruined people's view on political and ethical views.
You're either a liberal or a conservative these days. There is no middle ground.
>>318515050
Starting 2 years ago, it became really popular to call people weeaboos on /v/ for some reason.
I have to assume all, if not most, of the participants were harshly rejected by /a/ for newfaggotry and just needed to take their anger out on something.
People who say they hate japanese games need to look at the developers behind the games they play.
>>318520814
And anime has been like that since the fucking 90s bro. Before it was LNs getting adapted, it was fucking Manga.
Its not that it hit a wall. It has been at the wall for decades now. That wall is called Commercialism, and that wall has already long controlled every facet of entertainment in America.
Next you are going to complain about how America cartoons exist to sell toys (Transformers) comic books (DC, Marvel, Ninja Turtles, He-man), or merchandise (literally everything).
Movies are not just to sell the movie, but also the theater tickets.
Everything is designed to sell more than one thing.
Welcome to capitalism. We have been here for a few decades now. The world hasn't changed, you are just finally now discovering what it has been for a long time.
It depends
