Spring 2025 Anime Season 名無し 04/16/2025 (Wed) 19:37:15 No. 1341 [Reply]
i missed making the last few threads for reasons. 4/a/ is dead and it seems like discussion is scattered. other altchans shittalk currently airing things too much for me to want to talk about them there, so i'm posting a thread here. what're you all watching? post about it here.
>>
here's everything i'm watching this season. there's...a bit more ecchi than i'm used to. so far, i'm enjoying everything i'm watching. i'm a bit afraid i'll get burnt out on the three ecchi shows, but i'll see. i'm enjoying mono more than i thought i would, i was also afraid i'd get burnt out on it, but i like its characters more than yuru camp's i think. my two favorites so far are Summer Pockets and Anne Shirley. Summer Pockets has a very...quaint? feeling about it. it makes me a bit wistful. Anne Shirley is similar, i like how whimsical it feels. both give me a bit of a melancholy nostalgia. Your Forma seems like the one i like the least. i can never quite enjoy cyberpunk stories...
>>
I usually never watch more than 3 airing shows at once and there's always some 4 cour baby anime thrown in the mix so it doesn't really count. This is new
>>
>>1341 i haven't really been watching much of anything honestly. kinda thinking of watching the dark elf anime, but are any of these actually good? which do you recommend the most out of them?
>>
I'm enjoying the Shaft ninja show a lot.
>>
>>1342 I'm enjoying the second season of Shoushimin. I miss the single episode mysteries of the first season, but I'm enjoying the build up of the larger mystery so far.

The old otaku culture to me had an emphasis on 1) making things and 2) being a place for outcasts. now every normalfag loves animu and it feels like those dedicated creative outsiders just are not visible the same way. Think the ability to make serious money out of otaku "fandom" killed it being anything with soul. Probably the mainstream success of otaku-produced works like Fate/Stay Night and Umineko flooded the culture forever with those looking to make a profit cynically pandering to otaku tastes.
>>
>>1366 >The old otaku culture When was that exactly? I feel like you would have to go back in the late 70s-early 80s to reach what you are describing.
>>
>>1367 He is confused by hacker culture and others where a lot of talent was (is) otaku losers, but otakus have always been vidya losers outside of their distraction
