/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Actually I like both /a/ and /jp/

>>29146

It is time again.

/a/ was here
/jp/ smells

So I heard you guiz approve of 3D, aha hahaha HAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAAA

/a/ is fine, but I wouldn't post this image there.

bask in our superiority

>>28643
>wallow in our same userbase
Fixed.

Nothing

>>28643
>>28649
>bask in our superiority
>wallow in our same userbase

Cry in our self hatred??????

I never went on /a/, so fuck if I cared.

>>28649
/a/ doesn't understand this.

They'll get over it eventually. We like it here, and we're not going anywhere.

The shitstorm will die down once Anon gets used to the split and the complaining gets boring.

I'm fine with splitting up the board, I just don't like how they were split. I think /a/ should be Anime, Manga, Light and Visual Novels. /jp/ can be everything else.

>>28852
Why? That makes no fucking sense.

>>28852

Agreed, keep the 3D out.

>>28870
What the fuck is wrong with you people and your '3D IS PIG DISGUSTING' bullshit?

>>28892
2D fetish?

>>28892
Bunch of newfags who wanted to join /a/'s super cool club and took a joke waaay too fucking seriously.

>>28858
Anime, manga, VNs and to a lesser extent light novels all tell a story with Japanese images, either static or animated, accompanied with text or speech (or both). That's how they're similar, that's how they're different from all this general Jap culture shit on this horrible board.

Including anime and manga but excluding VNs is about equal to making a board for Toyotas and Hondas but GTFO MAZDAFAGS

>>28931
Enjoying your virginity?

You're going to kill yourself before you're 40.

>>28958

don't tell us how to live our lives and we won't tell you how to live yours.

>>28954
Your analogy fails so fucking hard. A better one is a board about cars not allowing trucks. Trucks aren't cars, are they? They're vehicles sure, but they're not fucking cars.

Visual novels and anime are NOTHING alike. NOTHING. You just want them to be because you're butthurt over the spilt. Get the fuck over it you goddamn crybaby.

2Dkon, 2Dkon, nobody loves you

>>28892
Find a girl like Tomoyo in real life. I fucking dare you.

ITT newfags that think real girls are all that.

>>28638

Hate you? WE LOVE YOU.

Come back and post porn again anytime you like.

>>28865
Anime, manga, VNs and to a lesser extent light novels all tell a story with Japanese drawn images, either static or animated, accompanied by text or speech (or both). That's how they're similar, that's how they're different from all this general Jap culture shit on this horrible abortion of a board.

Allowing anime and manga but excluding VNs is like making a board for Toyotas and Hondas but GTFO MAZDAFAGS

>>28982
You keep saying they're nothing alike, but you're not actually explaining how they're different.

Also, why do I get so many 'Thread specified does not exist' errors these days

>>28852
This. And sage for a retarded OP trying to stir shit up. He probably started the thread he's linking to himself. Or trolling it.

>>29029

/a/ - Stories of Japanese Origin

>>29029
>Visual novels and anime are NOTHING alike.

Then anime and manga are nothing alike and should be split too then according to your logic.

>>29027
Just because they're similar doesn't mean they're the same.

Gay porn and regular porn are the same, right? I mean, both of them involve sticking a penis into a hole and thrusing back and forth until climax, right? So they should both be on the same board!

Idiot.

you know, this whole /a/ and /jp/ shit reminded me of underwater ray. This strange being which possesed Hakuoro was once one entity but got split into two: /a/ and /jp/. But their interests collide and they fight petty wars with their minions but neither will ever win. Makes me sad ;_;

I have mastered the difficult procedure of browsing TWO, yes two(2) boards at the same time. This has taken years of hard practice, but I have finally completed my studies and am now capable of this amazing feat of human power.

>>29103
so we merge them and then seal it away?

>>29103
Oh god, why is this so accurate?

The point is that /a/ is '/a/ - Anime & Manga', not '/a/ - Anime & Manga & Visual Novels & Other Shit'. Even if they are similar, they aren't fucking allowed on the board.

moot isn't going to change it, no matter how much you bitch and moan and bawww. Get over it.

>>29108
you'll never be able to browse both boards at the same level of efficiency as you did one! NEVER!
you fool!

>>29103
It'll end when moot merges them again. Sorry to spoil the ending for you

>>29111
Thinking about it, it's pretty much the best course of action possible.

>>29120
he split the board up because of a few faggots bitching and moaning over the wrong shit

>>29103
hehe aye, I was thinking more black/white len

>>29108
Can you do it in tabs? I hear the masters can do it like that.

Some even browse THREE! I mean, what the fuck?

>>29103
Godzilla battle?

>>29088
This board will not be about anime, but instead a huge discussion on the Tale of Genji.

holy shit, this is a horrible hour. what is this mostly aussies?

>>29123
Oh, you shallow fool. Yes, it is true I am incapable of browsing either board at the same efficiency as I would have browsing a single board. But I browse both boards at 80% of my previous efficiency! THIS COMBINED GIVES ME 160% EFFICIENCY! BASK NOW IN MY GLORY! FOR I HAVE TRANSCENDED ORDINARY HUMANS!

>>28638
Who cares? /a/ and /jp/ share 90% of the user base and it's only a small minority that's complaining and most of those are just doing it for the sake of it.
ignore the dramafags.

logically i do agree that VNs fit with anime and manga, although they lie at the more hardcore-otaku end

at the same time i can see the reasoning for wanting to split the more japanophile end of the pool away from the more general-consumption end

i guess i'm ok with this overall since it means there's more space for everyone overall

in fact the way this board is going, over time it could even fit as 2chan's English-language board or something

BAWWWWWWWW CLANNAD THREADS EVERYWHERE,well then you don't have to come in our topic faggot. You don't see us sage bombing GL threads, maybe we should. That was the problem with /a/ before the merge. Now its BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW /vn/ left and now we suck.

>>29126
He won't, just to spite the crying faggots.

Most of us like it here anyway. As long as the board remains popular it's not going anywhere.

Fuck, if anime is Toyota and manga is Honda and VNs are trucks, then the previous /a/ was for all transportation. Then it was made TOYOTAS AND HONDAS ONLY and all other modes of transportation were given their own board. Then power tools were allowed on the new board.

HOW'S THAT FOR A FUCKING ANALOGY

>>29169
I love it!

>>29159
who said anything about Clannad or GL?

>>29202
It's probably just a troll.

it's funny that all this has accomplished is making a lot of board strife.

>>29208
Your post fills me with apathy.

Let's work on just not giving a fuck.

>>29169
No.

/a/ is more like 'American Cars' and /jp/ is 'European Cars'.

Your logic says that /m/ should be done away with because all the shit there can be posed in /a/ too. /jp/ is a special intrest board and /a/ is for anime and manga ONLY.

Guiz I need a proxy.

>>29248
No you don't. Just stay out of /a/.

>>29208
I don't feel like it.

>>29258
Keep fanbase wars in /a/.

GLfags where the one that wanted /vn/ out.

Cirno not being his jolly, albeit occasionally stubborn self fills me with despair.

Also, sup Cirno. How's things going?

/a/ is moving so terribly slow right now.

>>29226
That sucks, because VNs have a lot more in common with anime and manga than they do with 90% of the other crap in /jp/. /m/ is a well-defined niche and would be analogous to /vn/ or that Alternative Anime board envisioned at some point.

>>29316
There's nothing wrong with 3D. People like Clannad, people like Spice and Wolf. People like 3D, people like 2D.

>>29226
/m/ is about a specific genre which is HUGE. It needed it's own board. Plus it's a seperate fanbase, people interested in robots aren't really interested in drama/harem anime. VNs are pretty much all drama/harem like the anime mostly talked about in /a/. Same audience.

>>29396
good, because that shit is fucking horrible.

>>29348
Not to mention that no one would be pissed off and mods probably wouldn't delete threads about mecha anime in /a/, because it's still anime. /m/ also includes mech stuff from other countries.

Only with /a/ and /jp so far is there this ridiculous enforcing of what they're "made for." If you post an anime thread it gets deleted because it "should go in /a/," which is absurd. Are they going to start removing cute anime girls from /a/ because they "belong in /c/" next?
