Anime and manga becoming normal mainstream
| I actually don't want anime becoming mainstream because then we will no longer see fucked up shit we get in anime.
| Im fine with becoming a normal thing now just means more people to watch it with.
| Young rap artists embracing it may also have helped this a bit, idk. They got a following, and kids want to copy whatever their idols are doing; in the end they might end up enjoying it.
| That will be a downfall
| REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEREEEREEEEEEEEE NORMIE FAGS GET OUT GETOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTGETOUTGETOUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
| sharing hobbies is almost never a bad thing. except when it is
| Controversial opinion: it's a good thing actually
| People started accepting anime and it's a good thing, anime merch will be common and more easier to obtain(Excluding limited edition Item),More weaboo population and we're closer than ever to catgirls
| it will become even more cringy than now
not that we can change anything about it tho
| I remember when it was just a fad thanks to toonani and 4kids
| ???? Anime has been main stream for a while
| China also, but there's a trouble that the ACGN recognized by society has been redefined. It's really different from the original one. I don't think that would be right.
| anime has gotten more common and is dying the same death that liveaction film did in the US; it's just a bit behind. larger and larger productions → more and more money → fewer and fewer "risks" → homogeneous, standardised everything. the good thing about it, though, is that all the interesting stuff has moved to manga, so the number of good manga out there has been steadily climbing
| I just wanna watch anime girls fall in love with each other all day <3
| But if anime becom.es mainstream, they can't hold ween hunts anymore. We can leave the safety of our basements! We can take out the ear buds of our hentai games! In the words of our ancestors: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God all mighty, we are free at last!
| Maybe we will start getting a slight increase in quality as the proportion of fat retards who demand haremshit decreases? One can dream.
| >>97683 If anything the retards will increase, allowing haremshits to generate more revenue. Business isn't about the average, it's about the net sum...
| For me, I guess I don't like it. The new animer seems idiot all the time, just like they never met a girl in normal life.
| anjme is bad
| Hahaha, ok, I like anime actually for his content, philosophy, values (and being reallystic), waifus, fan service and sexual perversion. I really true belive the talent, art, and spiritual gifs and questions of the artists behind any art and human activity are whitin the result of that labor, and of course; anime. So, if in the future all anime are trash and only hollow stupidity and sexual perversion, the core of human soul will prevail in any other form, even new ones.
| If you mean normal as in the same level as other niche media instead of something that just pirated by teens then yes. If you mean actually normal then no obviously not.
| There will always be shows made only for filthy weaboos, and not mainstream audience. So I'm good

But haremshit does not have mainstream appeal. Normies like battle shonen, only otaku are retarded enough to enjoy tit bouncing and panty shots for 24 minutes straight.

You keep ranting about haremshit, but can you name a recent and popular anime that can be classified as haremshit?
| I will not see this change in my country (Austria, a german speaking country) in years. So many people are still thinking that anime/manga is just cartoon porn for weird people (including teens).
Sad life.
| I'd like the idea of anime becoming mainstream if the process of becoming an anime fan wasn't so messy.
Really, how many of us here have an "otaku" past where, if we could, we'd travel back in time to punch ourselves?
| I'd travel in time to punch myself regardless if I watched anime or not, weebiness has nothing to do with it. I didn't have a particularly cringy anime phase.
| >>100961 I am a proud 21 year old otaku and was like that since teenage years. I wouldn't change a damn thing about myself except maybe improving my self confidence.
Talking about anime becoming mainstream I am afraid we will no longer see shit anime is infamous for in the West (incest, lolicon, harem, ecchi etc) even though that's the part of anime I love the most.

| Anyone noticed that anime is actually becoming a 'normal' thing now? I've seen a number of big cinema names starting to screen anime movies and such at normal times, right alongside normal movies. And to my surprise the anime movie screenings were near full.
