/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

God damn it, I type this up and the thread gets deleted.

>All of the arguments against K-On! involve two premises: the show uses simplistic archetypes and these archetypes are used to pander to otaku tastes. These are both true, but that's a problem inherent in almost all anime and isn't going to convince otaku of jackshit, especially when these qualities are intentionally sought out. If you're not going to argue from that perspective, why are you here? Anime for the most part is a trashy medium, and taste only means something within the community itself. It's like walking into Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles and loudly complaining that the two should never go together and that the establishment is run by niggers.

[Anonymous No.]

Funny thing, I still don't care.

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

Sorry /jp/ is too busy having fun watching Mazinger.

K-ON is only good for fapping its doujinshi and Sion's image threads.

[Anonymous No.]

Being shit in a genre full of shit doesn't make it any less shitty. Enjoy your shit.

[Anonymous No.]

I like K-on. LS and Haruhi were better but I still like it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2561586

None of that changes the fact that K-ON bores me to tears. I don't care if it's trashy, but if it's not entertaining it can go to hell. K-ON is in the "only good for the porn" category.

[Anonymous No.]

It's a horrible argument, because whether it panders to otaku doesn't matter. The K-On characters are good. You can ultimately break down any character in any piece of fiction into one archetype.

K-On is good because it's humorous, and has nice character interaction. It's just a great experience. This is what I want out of moe slice of life.

[Anonymous No.]

Most people only hate K-ON because it's the cool thing to do. Don't bother trying to argue with them. Not to mention that arguing over something as subjective as anime preferences is already pretty pointless.

Mazinger is pretty boring, but I guess I don't have any nostalgia for it and that's its main appeal. I'm still following it though.

No argument there.

And I feel that K-ON is one of the weaker recent 4koma anime adaptations. Who knows, maybe the rookie director is to blame.

I agree, but even within a medium full of shit there are still different levels of shittiness. Mind Game and Cat Soup are inherently less shitty than K-On.

I don't see how you can say that, when you consider that K-On is at the very least original in it's concept. Most 4koma adaptations have been bad Azumanga Daioh clones. K-On actually has an interesting plot.

I'm watching K-on because it's kind of what I'd imagine Lucky Star would be like if Konota was an offensive stereotype of retards in general rather than an offensive stereotype of retarded anime fans.

>>2561719
It kind of was, but they zoomed out to a striped ricebowl instead. Hopefully it'll be on the DVD.

It's funny and moe so far, but is that enough to make it loved by so many people?

>Hopefully it'll be on the DVD.

I doubt it; if they did, they'd lose the "nice bowl" joke. And I think lol funny takes precedence over striped pantsu in this series.

[athens !SysNpnp3nU No.]

>>2561818
Its because it was done by KyoAni. Both Haruhi and Lucky Star were pretty novel in their own ways imo, people were expecting some kind of novelty from K-ON too, but it never really arrived, now they're just all waiting around like 'errr, when does ti actually get good?'

[Anonymous No.]

>>2561836
A secondary anime fan such as yourself wouldn't understand.

It's like I'm really on /a/.

[Anonymous No.]

People hating on K-ON are just jumping in the hate bandwagon from /a/, just like they did with Lucky Star.

[Anonymous No.]

Well some shows are trash solely based on genre preference. Pandering is what makes a show popular. Creating something that only 2% of the fanbase can like and not find boring doesn't make it good, nor does pandering to the lowest common denominator make it great. But damn, pandering sure does help most of the time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2561855
Because they're both so great, right? How could someone possibly have an opinion different than yours? It bewilders me.

Haruhi was only good because of Kyon.
Lucky Star was never good.

It's a kawaii~ anime for kawaii~ anime aficionados such as himself?

Seriously though, I enjoy 'slice-of-life' shit sometimes, but with K-On it seems like they took some stereotypical moe archetypes and then decided that developing the characters' personalities was too much work and opted to just make Yui bounce up and down like a puppy and shit.

There's a difference between disliking a show and spamming "sage for lucky shit xD" in every thread about it. There's no reason to go so far to show your hatred of something unless you're trying to fit in.

Of course I don't know if this is what happens with K-ON on /a/ because I don't go to that shithole anymore.

It's this the most moe show this season, that's enough. It's how /a/ works, they like moe and they like watching the animu of the current season. It's nothing revolutionary, people won't really talk that much about it in a year, but people find it enjoyable right now, and some (trolls) take that part a little too far.

You're claiming that by virtue of being an RPG and thus having stat points it makes it more frustrating than a game like Touhou?

Touhou = Expending time and effort for the reward of being good at a shitty game no one else cares about except in Japan.

Fallout 3/RPGs both western and japanese = Explore worlds, meet characters, enjoy a story.

If you actually think attempting the same damn stage 6 level 100000 times on hard constitutes 'fun' then you are out of your mind.

Honestly, touhoufags are delusional if they think Touhou is better than Fallout 3. Absolutely beyond redemption.

Not really. Character planning has its place in the genre, but games that require min/maxing to make a character viable are horrible.

Would I'd rather play Touhou or Fallout 3? Depends on my mood. I'd choose other STGs above both though.

Haruhi - pretty good.

Recently, I watched this anime called K-on. One of the main characters of the show is called Mio, and ever since I finished it, I've spent hours on end saving pictures of Mio. Sometimes I stopped to question myself about just why I was saving pictures of a 2D person, yet I continued doing so.
I've realized now, though, just why I was doing this. I've finally realized, I'm in love. In love with a 2D character. In love with Mio.

Why exactly? Breaking of the fourth wall and silly monty python jokes ruined it for me. Fallout 1 I'd say was pretty much a classic, certainly one of the greatest Western RPGs ever made. But 2 I'm just... meh... never really did anything for me.

That being said BG2 trumps them all still.

So, you didn't actually watch the show? Because for the majority of it, he was absolutely repulsed by her. She was the one pining for him. All he wanted from her was for her to suck it up and start living up to her potential, because he had a hard on for her music. As a woman, she did not exist in his eyes.

As a relationship, he treated her like the plague till the end of the 1st season. After that, it was touch and go on anything about them until she physically mangled him, thus forcing him to say that he did care for her.

I dunno about him, but I preferred Fallout 2 as well. It played like a real tabletop session. The breaking of the fourth wall and crappy references 1/4th of the time added to that feeling, in my eyes.

It reminded me of a time when I had friends and someone would roll a 20+20, and the GM would go into graphic detail. Of times when our GM would just make up crappy parodies when he wasn't prepared for a session. And of course, the "a bit too much of holy grail" also struck close to home.

It was oddly charming.

It's not that their tastes are different, it's that they're willingly swallowing a turd sandwhich when they could be swallowing delicious, delicious cake. They want to wallow in stupid pedo-appeasing fanservice escapism instead of, you know, encouraging good shows that would finally make anime a respectable fucking medium. If you get the /co/ parallel, it's like if comic nerds ignored Watchmen to go read Rob Liefield comcis. It's enraging because it's wasted potential that sullies a potentially good medium and drags everyone else down.

I like both "pedo-appeasing fanservice" shows and more serious anime. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of otaku who are the same way, otherwise there wouldn't be anything but fanservice shows. There are just more merchandising opportunities for fanservice shows.

Talking about "respectable mediums" is also kind of ridiculous. Do you need other people to think it's ok for you to watch anime or something?

It's not about different tastes if you're objectively right, right?

There's no growth to be found in moe moe bullshit. It's crafted purely to masturbate the male mind and do nothing else. It's disgusting, and you'd find it disgusting too if you weren't in the target audience. Just like you find Twilight disgusting. It's a bad story with no growth to be found, nothing new to learn, overloaded with bad stereotypes, and crafted purely to serve the female mind. On it's own, Twilight wouldn't be a problem, just like moe moe shows on their own aren't a problem. But, think about it. If you were a teenage girl and you saw through Twilight, and all of your teenage girl friends loved Twilight, and almost every book you saw was another Twilight, wouldn't you be pissed?

But otaku are extremely self-conscious of their tastes and recognize its nature. They recognize it so much they have categorized every facet of their tastes with specific terminology (moe, tsundere, meganekko, etc.) and established an etiquette for how to deal with them in public (suppress your power levels). 4chan, especially the otaku oriented boards, have nothing to do with this public image you're concerned with. Otaku are insular folk who just want to be left alone to talk about their favorite ways to prepare chicken and waffles, and you come barreling in insulting their taste and calling them niggers.

Goddamn, dude, you're right. I'm being self-centered. I assumed that otakus formed common perceptions of how anime worked, when they aren't involved AT ALL. I only know about this seedy crap because I've been lurking here fascinated by it for years, but other people haven't.

You ask any person on the street about anime fans, and they are NOT going to say "Oppai balls", or "Pedo panty shots", or "They wish to be the little girl".

The faggots who are dragging us down are the ones who drag the waffles and fried chicken out into the open air and expect everyone to treat it like gourmet delicacy. They're awful, and even you guys don't like those faggots.

You speak as though "Otaku" could be accurately classified as a collective. It can't.

>They recognize it so much they have categorized every facet of their tastes with specific terminology (moe, tsundere, meganekko, etc.)

So why is it that "moe," "tsundere" or "meganekko" are somehow acceptable to this board when the "kawaii" isn't (and rightfully so)? Is that not hypocrisy? It's not as though there aren't English equivalents for all of these terms.

Any English equivalent for tsundere or moe would require a long definition, and even then, it would lack the connotation they have as words that define us as a community. Meganekko has an easy English equivalent, but is still acceptable because it has connotations only fellow fetishists would understand. Kawaii on the other hand, is simply an unnecessary loan word that carries nothing besides meaning "cute", unless you're an entry level Japanophile.

I've watched a lot of serious anime but I can't think of many that I would consider pretentious. Even more serious anime are a lot more grounded than shit like indie films. But if it ever got to the point where all anime was expected to be serious then I can easily see the market being flooded with pretentious bullshit instead of the moe you're complaining about.

The problem in your argument is found above. This same brand of justification is used by the kinds of retards who watch and translate awful shows like One Piece as to why "nakama" should be kept in Japanese. Yes, some words have long definitions, but only as a consequence of being applicable to many situations. Just as you could translate "nakama" as friend or ally depending on circumstances, you could translate "moe" as adorable or arousing in the context of a sentence and not lose anything.
