Oh fuck no, day one Hiroshima said he'd consider making a Superhero board to move all the /tv/ trash off /co/, that's gotta be high on the list. Fuck worksafe /b/ that's retarded, 4chan is never worksafe you can spam NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER on any blue board, that's not fucking worksafe
>>574666
We dont need a retro anime board
Right now. Right here.
This thread is now the retro anime board.
>>574680
We do. This is an anime website.
>>574712
>muh anime website.
Nigger at what point did i disagree with you with that, I didn't, you didnt have a argument so you just spouted shit
>>574666
He really said that?
Holy shit that's the best news I've heard all year.
>>574666
I'd use a retro anime board but I agree /cape/ is increasingly high priority. I hope to god we get it before Suicide Squad hits.
>>574643
Why? Barring Evangelion, there's barely any discussion of retro anime on /a/ as is. The creation of a new board would accomplish nothing other than inciting large-scale generalfaggotry. If you want to discuss older anime, make a thread.

These threads get frequent replies. You have no excuse not to make your own retro anime thread.

Main reason is because /a/ usually is full of current running anime or manga. So older anime and manga is either overlooked or laughed at.
The only board that actually deals with older anime and manga well is /m/ because it's part of the culture.
It is very limiting for obvious reasons, so a board for older and obscure anime and manga would be swell.
>>574643
We need /vj/ and /2hu/ (to fix /jp/) as well.
It's like this site doesn't care about its Japanese heritage anymore...
>>574654
>then novels
What do they talk about on /lit/ then that snuffs out novels...childrens books?

Theres no where to talk about non-scifi old anime
/a/ is too fast and too pleb
>>574982
This.
>>574982
>/a/ is too pleb
Yeah, but they'd never admit that.
>>574876
>Main reason is because /a/ usually is full of current running anime or manga
Yes, and? People want to talk about what's "hot". People want to be a part of the cultural consciousness and discuss shows as they air with like-minded people. That's far easier to accomplish with a new series. We talk about lurking more and having a high watch-count but the fact of the matter is that most people are newfags who only want to discuss what's accessible and popular. The amount of people who will have seen Madoka and Gurren Lagann will far outnumber the number of people who've seen Nurse Angel Ririka and Generator Gawl. Many pre-2000 anime have been lost to time due to a lack of visibility, access, critical acclaim, and notoriety. People would rather talk about what anime they saw on Toonami (or its equivalents) as an adolescent or seasonal shit rather than scour the Internet for hidden gems and forgotten treasures. /a/ being full of current anime and manga is no one's fault. As time goes by, older series will be lost to the ether.
>So older anime and manga is either overlooked or laughed at.
Older anime threads get frequent replies and I see very little shitposting or trolling. In fact, I see a thread right now with 200+ replies. They may be overlooked, but as I said earlier, people want to talk about what's current and topical.
>The only board that actually deals with older anime and manga well is /m/ because it's part of the culture.
That's true.
>It is very limiting for obvious reasons, so a board for older and obscure anime and manga would be swell.
As I said earlier, make a thread. Be the change you want to see. This doesn't need to be Reddit, where we have a board for every little thing. Honestly, I don't see a retro anime board being anything other than /tns/ - Toonamishit and request/recommendation threads. If there's already such a low amount of retro discussion on /a/ as is what would an entirely new board solve?
>>574643
Never, fuck off.
/m/ has desperately wanted a decent plave to discuss non /m/ old stuff for quite some time. We even have the unwritten Go Nagai Rule for example
Mods bend over backwards to appease /a/ board culture that hates us
Do something for another board for once!
No one else on the whole site gets such priveleged moderation where ontopic stuff can still be deleted just because muh board culture
Fucking pedos
>>574666
/wsb/ wouldn't literally to be worksafe, it'd primarily be to have a /b/ that isn't just the same old porn you've seen a million times
"hehe I'll make a 'pics you weren't supposed to share' thread"
>>575374
>because another board is filled with a bunch of faggots and the like another board should be split in half and its culture and community disregarded to appease the faggots of the other board
"no"
You can talk about old shit perfectly fine, refer to this anon >>575300
There is even a decent thread up right now >>>/a/143468598
Your last comment is also ironic considering older anime was filled with just as much naked, except, they were more extreme. Name me 5 post-2000 anime with loli nipples or shota dicks.
>>574643
There's usually at least one old anime thread on /a/ at any given time and anything remotely science-fiction is welcome on /m/. I don't think it's necessary. It'd be a slow circlejerk.
Retro anime board would be super dead. This is proved by the fact that the only reason people give for wanting one is that they feel like they can't get any decent discussion for it on /a/. All that indicates is that there's no real demand for the board. If there were, you'd hear people on /a/ complaining about all these retro anime threads cluttering up their board, or how retro anime discussion keeps cropping up, unwanted, on other boards due to there being no room for it on /a/, yet neither of these things is happening.
>>575329
No, you fuck off.
This is an anime website.
>>574879
It's fucking necessary at this point the board is a joke and there are clear literal WB shill threads daily
>>575451
That's a false premise when it's one of the fastest boards, slower boards can and should exist.
How about going the other way around?
Make an anime board that only discusses the newest seasonal anime. Once the show has no more content airing in the current season, it goes to /a/. But if it's for example the Berserk CGI anime that begins tomorrow with Summer season, it must go to the seasonal anime board, and cannot go to /a/ until Fall/Autumn season starts (assuming that the Berserk anime is a 12-13 episode show).
>>575624
>slower boards can and should exist.
For topics that are wholly separate from existing board topic, yes. Retro anime can already be discussed on /a/ or /m/, there's nothing stopping you except a lack of interest from those those boards, which again would not be solved by creating an independent board.
>>575891
I don't see the point in this. Just seems like needlessly stifling discussion and creating solutions to problems that don't even exist. Discussion on /a/ is pretty fluid. Just as an example, you can start a thread to talk about the new episode of the obligatory seasonal battle harem show, and then over the course of that people compare it to other battle harem series or shows airing that series, and then discussion turns into people talking about their favorite harems, eventually turning into a discussion about one of those favorites. Natural conversations like that are what I like about /a/, and so I don't really see the value in limiting them by needlessly splitting the board.
>>574643
OP you don't want a retro anime board you just want a place to talk about anime that isn't /a/ because you don't like /a/. To which I say: tough shit.
>>574654
Kill yourself
I'm surprised how many people oppose the creation of a secondary anime board on 4chan.
>>575942
I don't like stale old general "discussions" that are plaguing /a/.
>>576267
Your bar for "discussion" must very low if you consider half of what happens in /a/ "discussion."
>>574775
They probably want it for the community. /vr/, while not perfect (it's slowly been getting worse since it's inception, as all boards do), is magnitudes better than /v/. I imagine /ar/ would be the same.
I'm not too strongly for or against /ar/ since I haven't watched that much anime but as a fan of /vr/ I can definitely see the pros.
