Time-Wasting Thread 3.0 (SFW - No Explicit/Grimdark)

True

@mariomarc  
The return of dedicated fansub communities would honestly prolong the lifespan of anime outside of Japan for this reason
 
it’s never going away, it’s much more stable than any sort of official release, which in many cases a lot of people still can’t expect official releases with many titles

@ghostfacekiller39  
That really fucking sucks.
 
Like a lot.
 
I hope that either gets fixed in the future or that doesn’t keep happening.

Getting ready for my granddad’s memorial.

@Number1pegasus  
I think it’s great
 
And like, I’m not saying that to try and piss people off, I’m happy about this
 
and nobody is really losing anything anyway, so I’m not trying to dance all over people’s graves or anything
 
unless, like I said, they spent the absurd amount of money that Blu-Rays and DVDs cost for the sake of owning them. Sucks for the people who did that, I guess, but eh, their loss is currently something I think will be beneficial in the long-run, as shitty of a thing as that is to say.

@ghostfacekiller39  
Why are you happy ?

@Commune  
I want anime to shrink in the west, very very badly. Partially to negate the income from the west giving westerners more of a voice in the direction of the industry and partially to cause the fandom to go into decline, leaving something dedicated and niche as opposed to it in its current state.
 
A company like Avex placing an export ban when they hold so many popular titles is a good step to towards that.

@ghostfacekiller39  
I don’t.
 
We should be able to support the anime’s we like which in turn support the people who make them and the artists who made the manga’s/light novels and just original thing.
 
I might not buy a lot of these (because I’m poor) but having the option to be able to support the content I like legally is a lot nice. Instead of having to constantly pirate it.
 
Which in turns sucks for the people that produce this stuff. I know it’d suck for me if people were blocked from purchasing my content at least.
 
I don’t want anime to shrink in the west either as this also effects the things I want to do in the future. Like make my manga and stuff like this.
 
So I hope this doesn’t keep happening.

@Number1pegasus  
At the moment this seems like a worse thing than it really is, honestly.
 
Have you ever sat there and looked up some of the editorials a lot of people write about anime? Like this little gem?
 
Frankly, the west has very, very stupid ideas about what should go into animation and we’d have people shitting bricks left and right if anime became a big deal over here. The higher ups, really only caring about net profit at the end of the day, will constantly change it to appeal to the western market more and more and more. They wouldn’t want to risk losing money because of controversy so lots of things would end up getting chopped and replaced and changed to make it more suitable for the west. You can even see the stupid impact that western culture has on its own works of animation - remember that stupid Derpy voice thing a while back in MLP? How would anime being actually subjected to that sort of thing work out?
 
Really, I want to keep anime as it is, more or less, free from that sort of thing that’s so prevalent on this side of the planet. The argument that “We should be able to support it if we want!” is nice and all, but it’s really only a short term feel-good thing. If it becomes too much then it might as well kill anime, or at least bastardize it to the point where it’s being held at gunpoint to stay in an animation ghetto like Western Animation has been in all of these years.
 
You’re not looking at things in the long-term enough. Short-term is horrible and omg we can’t get these products, but I think that keeping it away from being able to attain that sort of reach and therefore preserving the medium is much more important than whether or not somebody can purchase a 50 dollar disc that they can stick inside of a player of some kind to watch 4 episodes of anime.

You realize the article you took is from TheMarySue
 
A website no one respects

Oh shit I found my granddad’s Buck knife.
 
I’m wearing this EVERYWHERE.

@mariomarc  
I feel like it’s much more likely that people looking into demographics would use a site like that than scrolling through discussion boards hidden away on the corners of the internet, frankly.
 
They’re idiots, but they have a better platform than somebody like you or me. It seems much more likely to be used than a place like this thread or even MAL’s forums.

Demi-chan this year  
Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid  
Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai in April  
More than likely Monster Musume season 2 in fall  
Join monster girls already there’s no escape  

@uc9  

 
No  
Despite living in this east I mainly consume western animation

@uc9  
Didn’t something like that actually happen? Where he did a joke thing involving nazi-things to parody people calling him a nazi and they basically chopped the joke up to make it look like he was being absolutely serious?

I just really hope stuff like this doesn’t effect anything negatively enough where we eventually just totally get cut off where I can’t do the stuff I want to do in the future.
 
There are a lot of stuff I want to be able to do in the future. I don’t talk about them much though. I tend to keep my big dreams to myself in order to stay confident.
 
 
@SquiggyBomb  
Buck Knife?
 
Also you doin ok man. I know that big things today.

@ghostfacekiller39  

 
Wall Street Journal did that and they’re in deep shit right now. Rumor is that there’s going to be a large number of firings coming up.

@ghostfacekiller39

@uc9  
Demi-chan is the only good one tho :V
