Why isn't there any mention in the fandom of Fluttershy being an Otaku/Weeaboo? Did everyone just somehow forget about this?
>>26102761
You know, I saw that but it didn't register to me. I'm going back to watch that episode again just for that.
>>26102761
I didn't. People just don't mention it because being triggered by animus on an Ethiopian competitive-eating imageboard is the dopest meme ever.
Also Utena a best. I'm glad the artists realized that.
>>26102761
It HAS been brought up before; but not gone anywhere. Discussions go no where beyond pointing out the referenced characters. Seems DHX really inserted a detail the Fandom cannot spin head cannons out of.
>>26102761
Because most most mlp-watchers are too insecure to accept anime, even though both things are about cute X doing X things.
>>26102761
>Why isn't there any mention in the fandom of Fluttershy being an Otaku/Weeaboo?
There was...back when the episode came out. It leaked months in advance too, so the time when people talked about it goes back even further than that.
>Did everyone just somehow forget about this?
No, but there isn't much to say...it was just kind of a one off gag that hasn't been referenced in the show again yet, unless you're expecting green about weeb Flutters then IDK, I'm sure it exists in Fluttershy threads
>>26103095
>Rei Ayanami in a show about doing cute things
Bruh, wut?
>>26103095
Cute, right?
>>26102761
>be Fluttershy
>be part vampire-bat
>be a closet weeb with NEET tendencies
She's already the best pony. What the fuck else are we supposed to discuss about her? The fact that she had an abortion because she was too scared she would be a bad mother and couldn't live with herself?
>>26103095
>all anime is moeshit
Fuck you.
On a related topic, the only thing that would have made >>26102761's image better is if a certain strongheaded female had been horsified.
>>26102832
I always wonder how many people have actually seen Ranma 1/2 and Utena
I mean they maybe old, but a lot of the newer weebos don't usually watching anything from the 80s or 90s
>>26104149
It is.
>>26103095
Yeah, all anime is ultra moe kawaii, right senpai? ;3
>>26102761
the biggest headcanon I've heard was that Flutters writes manga in her isolation, and no one reads them but the animals.
Luna is also apparently a writer in the Christmas comic (I know, not canon, but this is headcanon)
Fluttershy wanting her writer senpai (Luna) to notice her work would make an interesting story.
happy now, anon?
>>26104229
At least put some effort into it.
>>26104158
Ranma is very popular worldwide.
Even babbies can recognize Ranma and Ryoga, and might have even watched an episode.
Utena never got a proper western release though, so only ancient neckbeards who read the manga or imported unsubbed tapes from China watched saw it.
>>26104306
>Utena never got a proper western release though
Yes it did. The English voice actors were the best they had at the time.
That is to say, terrible. The english VA for Lina voiced Shiori. She did a preddy gud jerb, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the original audio.
>>26104290
You bothered to reply at all, that's more than enough.
>>26104345
Goddammit, I had this conversation before but learnt nothing.
Yeah a third of it got a release in America.
Not in Australia though.
The dub and distrubution was incomplete until 2003 though.
>>26104355
Trolling is and art.
A forgotten art, at this point. "Baiting" is it's retarded cousin.
>>26104387
It was never an art, it was flaming and pretending to be stupid. Now it's just pretending to be stupid.
>>26104399
>It was never an art
Not so. I have seen some brilliant trolls. I especially likes the guy who would chime in on a conversation between two different anons, each time impersonating the other anon, until they were hopelessly at each others' throat.
Good times.
>>26103156
wha...?
>>26102832
>Also Utena a best. I'm glad the artists realized that.
Ten thousand times this. I'm always happy when there are folks who know of it.
>>26104364
>Yeah a third of it got a release in America.
No, there was an enormous pause while the Japanese and Americans argued about the distribution contract, but it was eventually all released.
And then rereleased a couple years ago, with a blu-ray re-rerelease in the works for sometime later this year through rightstufanime.com
>>26104149
Would Weebershy like Slayers because of all the Dragon Slave-ing, or would she be frightened of it?
>>26103156
There's a green of that... And maybe a story on Fim where Sctootaloo is her prom night dumpster baby?
Something like that.
>>26104345
The sad thing is the Japanese director picked the dub cast, but they still turned out to be pretty bad.
>>26105045
There are plenty of greens, Anon, but nobody pretends they're remotely canon.
>>26102761
Where have you been when the episode was leaked and then again when it aired?
>>26105249
this
>>26105056
Like I said, the best they had at the time.
>>26103139
>>26103162
>>26104149
>>26104238
>all these triggered niggers
Yes, yes, we know. Your medium is super duper serious, and should be taken seriously.
>>26105731
>what is sarcasm
>what is b8
Ya dun goofed, m8.
>>26105731
Well, not even that. It's like saying all art is like pic related.
It's nothing about being defensive, it's just not true.
>>26104149
>implying it isn't
>>26105056
really that's pretty crazy
>>26102761
Heh, well I was trying to forget about it.
>>26102761
Literally everyone bitched about it when the episode leaked.
but it didn't go anywhere because it wasn't very surprising.
well. the reference was. but Fluttershy being a weeb wasn't
>>26102761
Because most* anime sucks.
*cowboy bepop was okay
>>26103095
Dude, I'm going to watch lain today and I've heard it's great example of moe with a story, also madoka.
>>26102832
>4chan is an anime imageboard
No, 4chan is an imageboard. The first board just happened to be anime. That's like saying "America is a Protestant country. Catholics GTFO." Except that's not a perfect example because anime is now in the minority, with most of 4chan being non-anime now.
>>26107151
>Lain
>moe
I won't lie, I'm tempted to spoiler you the whole thing.
>>26107156
4chan was literally created because moot and his friends couldn't post loli on something awful. 4chan is primarily about anime and Japanese culture. Boards like /g/, /v/, /k/, /mlp/, tv/, etc are all sub interests for anons who like that along with anime.
>>26107176
4chan WAS primarily about anime and Japanese culture. Nowadays it's about gay culture and nazishit (yep, the two things fit perfectly)
>>26107176
>sub interests
anon, let me ask you something. Do you come to /mlp/ for ponies or anime? If the answer is the former, then you have just proved yourself wrong. If your answer was the latter, then you are on the wrong board. People do not come to /mlp/ for anime, they come here for ponies. Just as people go to /k/ to discuss guns (technically weapons in general, but go take a look at /k/ right now to see how true that is), /g/ to discuss computer software/hardware, /v/ to be extremely autistic and cancerous (really to discuss video games), and /tv/ to discuss television and movies. Stop trying to say that 4chan is an anime website, because it isn't and probably never will be again.
>>26107267
Even now that he is kill, I'll take m00t's stance on the topic over yours.
>>26108683
It's 2016, anon. Things change and fads die.
>>26108697
I knew it was a good idea to save this image. Always was, always will be. Keep getting mad about Chinese cartoons on your sub-board about a Burgerstani cartoon with heavy Chinese cartoon influences.
>>26108770
>Always was, always will be.
>Keep getting mad about Chinese cartoons
The mad ones, here, aren't us, anon. But keep believing what you want, if it helps you go on.
>>26108791
Who's mad? I can post muh anime wherever I want on 4choms. I have literally no reason to be mad.
Of course, you're inevitably going to twist the fact that I replied at all into some depiction of me as "completely pooper-peeved, butt-blasted, saddlesore", what have you.
I have everything and you have nothing. You should lighten up.
>>26108859
>"completely pooper-peeved, butt-blasted, saddlesore"
>>26108859
I should really finish watching Monster...
>>26107176
That was years ago, things changed, /a/ isn't even one of the top 5 boards anymore and got dethroned by boards like /b/, /v/ /pol/ and /vg/, the other weeb boards are also slow as fuck and still get BTFO by boards like /mlp/ and /vr/, weebs may have built this website but they aren't the majority anymore, neither the most vocal group, just because moot was a fag that gave you special treatment it doesn't mean Hiro is going to do the same
And considering how weebs manage to be as bad as (if not worst) than bronies, goatfuckers and furries, its understandable that some people would rather see them fucking off to their own cesspools where they can circlejerk over literally barbie dolls for autists as much as they want
>>26108959
>just because moot was a fag that gave you special treatment it doesn't mean Hiro is going to do the same
Well, when that happens and people start getting banned for animus, let me know.
Until then, keep being triggered.
>>26109016
I am not one of the people getting triggered though, i just think you're stupid, but nice try :^)
Hey idiots, just report the posts, it's not show related even tangentially, and that's a rule violation.
>>26109047
This isn't about /mlp/, its about boards where smug anime girls are a thing, /mlp/ doesn't give a shit, specially during hiatus
And no, i don't support this, this is the same kind of butthurt faggot mentality that created global rule 15
Pony GradeKikuko Inoue, the VA of Celestia in the Japanese dub of MLP is also the voice of Alv in Kiddy Grade
Consider the following:
>>26109290
So, um, K-on is a cartoon for little girls?
>>26109290
Also:
>>26109308
Wow.
But there's more: Anime=Cartoons. Steven Universe=Cartoon. So...ANIME=STEVEN UNIVERSE
>>26109208
>Kikuko Inoue
>Alv
>>26109290
Half of these can be applied to a shitload of shows

>>26105731
>Rarity
>voices Ranpha Franboise in "Galaxy Angel"
>>26109357
So you just admitted Steven Universe is shit
>>26104268
>"Hinata is my favorite, she really speaks to me"
hearing her saying weeb things with a slight lisp due to the braces sounds cute
>>26102761
Because it's just a silly visual pun (=shonen anime are what excite/scare fluttershy). It's like asking why they don't mention Pony France even tho Dash said "touchè" once: it could even exist, but that's not the point of the gag.
>>26109410
Not the resident weeb, I was paying homage to the power of tripseven tho I admit I fancy a couple eps of SU, once in a while
>>26109431
Steven Universe is the undertale of animation, it has some good ideas but you need to get past a god awful fandom, shitty anime jokes and some other stupid stufff to enjoy it
>>26108859
huh, some of those ring my bells
i never though i knew some of those
>>26109497
Oh, I don't mind: I never paid attention to the fandom, not intersted in the porn and don't care that much for animu jokes (I was a weeb, once). Also, I watch a fuckton of other things, SU is just some more minutes of mindless fun with a very likeable closing theme.
>>26109532
>was
>>26109614
Yup, "was."
Simply grew out of it.
This doesn't mean I wouldn't watch an interesting chinese cartoon if I had the chance to, just that I don't feel the impulse to look for them anymore. If it happens, it happens (also I kinda dislike nu-animu, but that's another thing)
>>26109290
do k-on fight hell demons?
>>26109664
>do k-on fight hell demons?
Yes. One called Death Devil.
>>26109418
I'm pretty sure thd name "France" has in fact come up in an episode of season 1, which would make it actually canon.
>>26109796
Stay with me, anon: mentioning is not making an ep outta it. Exactly how they are probably not going to mention this flutterweeb thing anymore.
