Corny considering every popular anime the west likes is from Weekly Shonen Jump, the most popular magazine in Japan

going random but

bakemonogatari series
cowboy bebop
aot
violet evergarden
nana

This is facts, idk why people are acting like seinen wasn't deep cut for the longest. I used to read Hunter x Hunter and Jojo and absolutely no one would have any clue what I was reading. That said, that Tweeter is a loser. He's mad that he got bullied and that's why he's mad.

Wow can’t believe we have evolved to the point of gate keeping anime

AANs won

That's more to the fault of capitalism though. The reason why most people commonly associate "anime" with action battle shonen is because American production studios were only willing to invest in licensing shows with the most guaranteed demographics. That being young males.

This is why a lot people's first exposure to Anime in states are with shows like Pokemon, DBZ, Yu-Gi-Oh and such.

The same could be said about just about any other Shonen Animé

gatekeeping anything is always corny

yall need to get off gatekeeping and get more people to watch Paranoia Agent

s*** is goated

only like DBZ and honestly i am completely fine with that u can keep that s*** lol

I watched the whole show lol

The internet told me i should watch Brotherhood instead of the original, but I think I should’ve watched the original first for me to be able to enjoy Brotherhood better. I’m assuming that people regard B as better because it’s more like the manga, but some stories are better told in manga than in animation, specially when they’re very complex. For instance I didn’t like most of AoT until AFTER i read the manga and rewatched the show.

huh, animes are cartoons. Just because you watch ones that show b***ies, doesn't make it anymore mature

f***
F*** THIS NIGGA
THE DRAGON BALL SERIES(EXCLUDING S***TY GT) IS THE ONLY THING YOU NEED
ANYTHING ELSE U MIGHT AS WELL BE WATCHING A FAT B**** F*** A GOAT

True, youll never see a Shoujo magazine at a scholastic book fair.

But I reject the notion that American anime taste are trash.

I would argue that American anime tastes like you said are subject to the whims of capitalism or in other words, what we get marketed to us.

If its popular overseas and action oriented. It'll probably be sent abroad to America. If its selling a product a la Bakugan or Beyblade, America.

However I reject the notion WSJ series marketed to the west are trash like that poster basically implied. WSJ quality for long running series is usually average to great.

And s***ting on Dragon Ball like DB wasnt a well choreographed manga with iconic moments is shortsighted. Say what you will about the anime but the DB manga is generally fun and deserving of acclaim

Capitalism? Y'all sound crazy. People in general don't like obscure things and love action, simple as that. Y'all mad about people liking what they like lmao, no one is trying to watch a cartoon about a guy trying to get a girl or slice of life

This thread got me hot you F***ED UP IM TIRED OF YOU LAME ASSES TRYNA PUT DISRESPECT ON THE DRAGON BALL SERIES F*** OUTTA HERE ALL THE WAY NIGGA

Its a classic and we all grew up on it but when it comes to plot and suspense and s*** like that theres better series. I'll never be one of those snobs that call it trash tho. Cause it clearly isn't

There isn’t

shut up
