>This is what people outside of /a/ actually believe
When were you when anime became mainstream?
Outside of the silly levels 6 and 7, this is very accurate. How would you change it?
That's more accurate than most of these lists, at least the upper levels.
Anon, this is called a joke. It's like trolling but it's done to make people laugh and not angry.
>>134115717
>Caring what other people outside of /a/ think of anime.
That's your mistake. Also if this isn't bait, how the fuck does NNB qualify on level 6?

Nah, I agree with you, but not all from left is good.

Almost everything on the right side is good, if you think otherwise chances are good, you're a pleb.
Quite some stuff on the left side is good as well, though. If you think otherwise chances are good you're a hipster.

Of all the charts I have ever seen in this site, this is the most accurate one.
>>134115717
I don't get it
>>134115717
Accurate, really. It's a journey through gateway animes, through watching more, developing taste in more ambitious anime to finally not giving a fuck about taste and enjoying stuff for what it's worth.
>>134116982
>>134116982

I'm pretty close to anime nirvana but I still can't get into idolshit
>>134115717
>they expect more people to know about Angel's Egg and Cat Soup than Kiniro mosaic and Nichijou
Absolutely haram
>>134117060
I don't know either, I'm stuck on level 4.
>>134115717
>>134115747
Why would LOtGH be level 1?
I have never seen naturo kiddies talking about it
>>134116875
Well not to say that any of the older shows are bad, looking at the caption, it is heavily implying that the person who determined which shows were shit or not, must be watching all these at the same time.
If it WAS an oldfag they would have already heard of these shows and seen them a long time ago. Instead, we have this person "wading through the shit" of modern anime, to watch "the good stuff" some of which aren't even that great, but probably just expected to be great because the only people who still talk about them are the one's who remember those shows are the ones still praising them today.
tl;dr yeah there's an age gap, but it doesn't mean that the guy who wrote it isnt being pretentious
>>134116628

I like the original better. 7/10 I replied.

>>134115717
>KinMos that low
>FMA:B not Level 1
>NGE not level 1-2
I don't know why people watching Cowboy Bebop would ever be considered outsiders.
>>134117107
That's easly it's biggest mistake. It should be in level 3, as should Monster and Paprika.
Sailor Moon being level 2 is appropriate, as while tons of people have heard of it or watched random episodes, the kinds of people who actually get into it are typically going to be beyond the surface level of weebdom.
>>134115717
>Pripara, Aikatsu
>above Love Live!
What the fuck?
>>134117107
It's still a pretty casual (intro) series.
It's even on one of the top 100 lists on MAL so it's obviously not unknown or obscure and the number of people who throw it out as a rec also.

>>134117246
I find it weird how they put generic moe shit as filling up lvl7, and Idolshit at lvl6 but having something as fucking weird as cat soup at 5

People talk relatively little in lain, that makes anime very hard to comprehend by a normie.
The format itself is wrong. There should be a tier for people who really only watch currently airing anime, people who mainly read only manga, and people who only watch older shows. There are tons of demographics not represented here.
>>134117815

I haven't seen that for anything but DBZ.

Everything that doesn't fit with level 1 but is still quite easy to comprehend is level 2.
2deep4me is level 3.

You have to think of all the reddit people. I personllay know a kid (5 years younger than me) who is lurking on reddit. He came to me with angles egg, and how I should watch it. He didn't know any anime lower than level 4. So this chart is absolutely accurate.

A sane human being should be able to enjoy any high-quality show for its own merits, unless it's simply not their thing of course. I love Gekkan Shoujo, K-On!, Fate/Zero, and Cowboy Bebop just as much as Nichijou, Yuru Yuri, and Non Non Biyori, for utterly different reasons of course. (Actually why are Gekkan and K-On! there, they fit in more with the latter group. Fate/Zero and Cowboy Bebop would be better examples of "normie" stuff, no? Anyway I don't even know, the whole normie/elitist stuff is just ridiculous.)

Anime is so young and exclusive to japan and expensive to produce and mostly secluded to a specific audience.
Manga can reach level 4, but I don't see anime ever going beyond 3.
I mean that there are opinions on here that the chart is accurate with Love Live being at the bottom just proves it.
There's no truly inaccessible anime, there shouldn't be more than two levels.
One for the absolute entry level stuff, and one for the rest.
>>134124329
I'm thinking about how boring it must be to be involved in the production of anime.
You need a sizeable budget to do anything spanning 12 episodes or more, and you rely on a tiny audience to buy your BDs at ridicilous prices.
No one wants to take any risks in that environment.
And THIS is accurate? pls respond
>>134119870
The point is that when you've watched all the anime you possibly can, you resort to simply watching gifs and unfinished work and shit.
>>134124540
I know, right? Especially as an animator you will get treated like literal trash and get paid less than a part timer.
As an animator why wouldn't you just make manga or in this day and age you could just use your skills for some job on the internet to make a living.
It would be better if they used the colorists in anime studios exclusively for manga and break into an age where colorized manga becomes a lot more common.

Thanks for letting me know that it's shit, I'll be sure to avoid it.

Is Aria anime actually good?

Love Live! has the most entry level of fanbases. It includes tumblr feminists and a disproportionate amount of transtesticles, from what I've seen.

Honestly people probably look at it, see Bebop, or Lain and feel a sense of satisfaction for whatever reason.

It's ranked in the 700s for popularity on MAL, and that takes into account all the people who have it sitting on their Plan-to-watch list.

Shit chart
>>134129640
It wasn't quite as good as the first one but it added to the story and characters in a meaningful way.
>>134129704
What meaningful way?
The way Chico's sister acted like a bitch in heat?
But Yuru Yuri was one of the first shows that got me into Anime

Half of the stuff on the left is great.
half of the stuff on the right is heavily overrated.
Saying one side is absolutely better than the other just because it suits your niche, elitist taste is dumb.

Most people get into alternative manga because of Maruo senpai
That level 4 is so accurate.
