Even then, access to anime is much better than it was say, 15-20 (even 10) years ago. When I (and maybe you too, I don't want to assume your age), was young, we only got supplied with Naruto/DBZ/Bleach/Bebop/ect, all good shows but it was a limited supply. We got maybe 2/3 NEW shows every year or so, if we were lucky.
With Crunchyroll, VRV, Funimation, better access to the internet, ect, you can watch just about anything. I know plenty of people who just enjoy battle shounen (Black Clover), but also know people who tune in to less popular or less known shows (like say, this season's Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun, or Horimiya).
I think that some of the statements made in this thread would have maybe been valid 15 years ago, but it is simply not the case anymore.
Ngl Im stuck 11 years in the past. The realm of Crunchyroll being bought by Sony and Netflix originals escapes me.
But I agree, back in the day content was limited to mostly Jump or whatever S
Adult Swim or SyFy could get back then.
Now I just read manga. Been that way since HS
casual fans can mean more deep fans down the line, and it should be welcome.
nothing wrong with people getting into anime watching DBZ Kai on nick lol
can't be bitter about being roasted for being a weeb in 2011 forever
Nah, f*** all that.
Unless you've seen "Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Comedy wo Zenryoku de Jama S***eiru" you're a casual

japanese media can be hella racist and depicts foreigners awfully, but weebs who never been to japan or experienced japanese culture will cape for it non stop

What about that other Twitter thread
shut up man lmfao.
watching monogatari doesn't make you special (and not being American doesn't either, since you seem to think your taste is superior to them )
get back in your cave so you can coom over shinobu freak
I dont need any kind if validation to enjoy quality animes, yall weirdos
Still cant believe a nigga who plays Senran Kagura while complaining about censorship is gatekeeping anime...
People like him got bullied back in the days and everyone was fine with it
especially against Korean and Chinese folks. like man you're not Japanese, haven't even been there, and you're being xenophobic as hell you have no stakes in that convo
Knew one of those weaboo chicks in hs who would always claim to be japanese even tho she clearly wasn't. Shorty was 100% white
But her last name sounded LOOOOOOOOW key, could be.
Always wanted to fact check that s***

You're absolutely correct, but let's not act like the reverberations of what went on during the 90 and early 2000s anime boom still isn't being felt today. Even in the streaming era.
As far as precedence goes, all those shonens are still benefitting from those times despite the better access that consumers now have and having a broader scope to what anime can be.

Sailor Moon was just trending on Twitter because of this.
These guys always imagine TRUE anime as s*** with high schoolers and some rude 15 year old girl that they feel uncomfortably drawn to in the most suspect way
this be the craziest s***

I was in a clubhouse room with a bunch of black weebs talking about Japanese love black people. This black dude that lived in Japan was like stop the cap, Japanese are crazy racist and don’t even know black people like anime

If people care, they'll look into more stuff. If they don't, it's fine, that's their choice and if they just want to enjoy shounen it's fine.
Sure, the reverberations are still being felt, but now people actually have the tools to broaden their horizons should they want/choose to.
