It's been 5 years since his last content.
Should I unsubscribe?

RIP

don't you dare compare grumpyjiisan to that fat gay weeabo
>>143060602
What's the point of unsubscribing from a channel with no new content?
>>143060602
BELIEVE IN THE JIISAN!
He died few years back according to this
https://warosu.org/jp/thread/S11787688
>>143060602
He's dead Jim.
>>143063318
>the thread his grandson made is deleted
>a thread that's supposed to be solemn turned into shit with arguments over stupid shit and shitposting
Why?
>>143060602
He's dead senpai
>>143063642
Where do you think you are?
Still had the best LoGH review to date
>>143063642
it was truly the best way to honor him
>>143060602
I'll never forget this based man's patrician taste.
RIP Jii-san ;_;7
>>143063642
They did the same thing when fucking Noko from Shinsei Kamattechan made a thread a few years ago, janitor wound up deleting it
/jp/ a shit
>>143063318
>Bruce Wayne
Wait a minute.
>>143060602
Grumpy Jii-san taught us that you can be over sixty and still love Chinese cartoons.
Damn he had solid taste. Wish he would put the fucking title of the show in the title of the video.
>>143060602
No, leave the subscription there.
It's something to remember him by.
Like flowers along a gravestone.
>>143063318
Pressing F.
>>143060602
Anyone have that old chart that showed what he reviewed and what he rated them?
>>143065241
Seconded
I WANT TO BELIEVE
>>143066346
ohi sysadmin
>>143066346
Isn't this the guy with all those Umineko portraits?
>>143063318
I was willing to accept everything in this post until I was supposed to believe anyone could find /jp/ a "loving community".
>>143067733
it was a different time.
Jiisan isn't gone, his spirit is simply biding its time, waiting for anime to follow the righteous path once again before making his return
>Eceleb shit
Newfag leave
At least we know there are no other anime reviewers worth a shit. They all deserve the oven.
>>143065241
>>143066230
>>143068654
Exactly what I was talking about, thanks.
>>143068551
>E-celeb
>>143060602
Not really sure if he actually died, for all we know he just got sick of anime and stopped watching altogether.
>>143069650
Once every five months.
>>143068654
that's goddamn patrician taste right there
>>143068654
Pretty lame taste, Grumpy.
RIP Based Jiji
The last I heard about him, according to someone that knew him, was that he had really bad hand arthritis and really couldn't work his computer anymore and had to stop.
>>143069253
Kill yourself, anon.
>>143068654
Absolutely disgusting taste.
>>143069964
This was the most anyone ever got but the person was not able to get in contact with Jii-san so it was just assumed.
>>143070070
Say that to my face fucker not online and see what happens.
>>143068654
Is there a list of the anime he gave a low rating to? I want to see his dislikes.
>>143069964
That's bullshit. They have voice control and similar now
Why do people unsub to things/people if they haven't uploaded in a while?
I always get excited when I see something from someone in my sub box if they haven't uploaded in a long time.
Is GrumpyJiisan the hickok45 of anime?
>>143068654
Boring taste.
Where's K-On! or Log Horizon?
>>143070070
I'm not a fan of all that Ghiblishit. But I see Aria, Haibane Renmei, Seirei no Moribito, Angel's Egg, Eve no Jikan and YKK in there so it's fine.
>>143070864
You put all that garbage on a pedestal higher than Miyazaki and Takahata?
>>143069797
>>143070070
>>143070773
Fuck off moefags
>>143070864
How do you enjoy productions as sensitive as YKK and Aria only to bitterly dismiss the Ghibli films? Don't you notice a conflict between that attitude and the kind of thoughtfulness that's encouraged by those series?
Did anyone save the episode transcripts from his website? Archive.org doesn't have them and I can't find them anywhere else.
If nobody has them I might try to transcribe some of them myself and post them here. No promises, though.
>>143069797
Fuck off digaybro
>>143071850
What does that even mean?
DId anyone ever find his real name?
>>143071435
Bump. Please Respond.
>>143074312
>>143071435
There is this https://archive.is/GBFJ3
>>143074388
Good shit, anon, even though it's just his last few videos. They've even got a copy of the title index which makes identifying the videos a lot easier.
>>143068654
>Escaflowne movie getting a 4.5
I mean I personally agree but I've never seen anyone else hold it in high regard
>>143067473
Yeah, that's sysadmin.
>>143063318
This is pasta and clearly not true anyway. Probably why it was deleted. He died way before 2014, sadly. RIP in piece, Jii-san.
>>143078196
>pasta
>there's no other posts with the same text
Retard.
>>143063318
I'm inclined to believe that this is true. I remember years ago, when he had only begun to not update anymore, I remember a thread about him where an anon talked about how he goes to the church jiisan also attended. Saying he had gotten very ill with his arthritis and it affected him very badly. Then about a year or so later this thread came up.
>>143070695
>hickok45
Who?
>had his account deleted by Google twice
No; Jii-san was just an old guy who suddenly stopped posting.
>>143079725
The fantasy is greater than reality. Hopefully you and others will give us truth.
>>143060602
He's watching anime with the angels now.
>>143068654
FLAG and Eve no Jikan are both really bad, and I don't understand why they're so well regarded.
Everything else is great, though.
>>143063318
It's easy as hell to make shit up on 4chan so I never trusted any posts like this. The only halfway believable things I've seen about Jii-san's circumstances are the news article about a dead elderly hiker in Arizona (might not even be him but at least it's grounded in real life) and an email someone sent to a person that knew him that got a reply. This is where I'd link to the archive, but a large portion seems to be lost or not searchable. I guess my word is as good as anyone else's.
>>143080536
You think people will write news article about every elderly man dying in hospital from fairly natural causes?
grumpy's ded
some mexican named cpoole killed him
It'd be funny if elevens know more about him, they took an interest in him.
>>143081319
source
>>143080647
Apparently the death involved a hike, but I can't imagine a seasoned hiker like Jii-san making such a big mistake.
>>143081599
There were Japanese-subbed copies of his reviews on NicoNico when he was still around.
>>143064072
What the fuck is wrong with their janitors? Even /a/ is not that bad, probably.
>>143064072
They truly are a weaponized /a/.
>>143069797
>I am digibro and I think that things that are commonly regarded as good are pretty boring. So unlike you like anime in the same elitist way as I do, you suck.
He's dead. I was actually at his funeral and got to look in the casket to confirm it was him. 100% was him.
Can't someone just report him missing? If anyone is that desperate to find him I'm sure the popo have him on file if he's kill.
And he disappeared without doing the LotGH OVA.
Damn.
