/hell/ - internet death cult

I AM, IT'S SUNDAY AHHHHH

No inconveniences so far today

Thanks to COVID-19 I can't get free coffee anymore at my workplace.

Also I can't open my fresh canister of soy sauce. I already rubbed off the skin of my fingers, trying to do so.

My new boots are too small and I have to return them.

My new trousers are skin tight and that makes them uncomfortable to wear.

Cold showers make may skin shed tiny flakes. Disgusting!

I'm so very slightly inconvenienced. Curse you, pretty Nico Nico Nii girl!

>There's like one studio that isn't very afraid to experiment (Science SARU) and that's pretty much it.

I was a huge Yuasa fan for ages, it seemed like everything he worked on was great. But I haven't really liked anything he's done since Yoru wa Mijikashi Aruke yo Otome back in 2017. Lu Over the Wall from the same year felt rushed, as Did Ride Your Wave from 2020. Has he lost the magic touch? Compare the stuff he's doing nowadays to this scene from Mind Game–it just seems a lot less ambitious.

>>2471
I don't care for the website itself, it was the only one with a definition of "webgen".

>>2472
There's one more Yuasa show in which you can see his influence – Devilman Crybaby from 2018. It really had Kemonozume vibes.

Unfortunately, Yuasa's and Choi's studio (Science SARU) started making "family-friendly" anime in the vibe of Ghibli (so yeah, the two movies you listed). Eizouken was quite good, but it definitely wasn't a typical Yuasa show.
Willing to bet that's part of the reason why the guy's taking a break from the industry (he effectively resigned from being SARU's CEO after Eizouken).
He's still working on that Inu-Oh thing… the premise doesn't speak to me very much, so we'll see how that one turns out.

i feel like this is reflected in the subject matter of a lot of shows. isn't the industry oversaturated with either isekai type fantasy shows or high school SoL or drama shows? not that these settings are inherently bad, but is there anything with a more original setting or premise, e.g. paranoia agent, texnolyze, cowboy bebop

maybe its more the tone than the subject-matter. shows these days seem like they're aimed more at being entertaining or relaxing rather than actually exploring interesting ideas…

but i'd love to be proved wrong! what are the most interesting and original shows/manga/whatever that you've seen in recent years?

>isn't the industry oversaturated with either isekai type fantasy shows or high school SoL or drama shows?

The situation with isekai got bad enough the major light novel competitions stopped accepting isekai entries.

I think drama and SoL won't stop being popular.

There has also been a major peak in yuri shows recently, for whatever reason.

>a more original setting or premise

I've been hearing Made in Abyss was pretty interesting, still haven't seen it, though. It's supposedly darker than anything that's come out recently, is said to have a good worldbuilding. I think I'll watch it soon.

Houseki no Kuni was pretty good. I don't think I know a show with a similar premise.

This entire thread gives voice to my nebulous feelings. I feel loss, but then I wonder what exactly I lost. At the same time, I feel like a burden has been lifted from me. I browsed 4chan from 2010-2014, then 8chan until 2016. The change wasn't inspired by gamergate, but because 8chan had a furry board. I left when a user of that board created some system that bypassed the captcha to spam it with random posts from 4chan. The board had low enough traffic at that point that each thread was just a series of non-sequitur with a few actual posters who were surprised to still see each other there. It was an alienating experience. I could have used other boards, but I came to the realization posted in >>1381, that I wasn't having fun.

Looking back, I don't know how to feel about my brief six years. The negatives have already been enumerated in this thread: paranoia, self-loathing, political extremism, etc. One thing that sticks in my memory was how strange it was that a group of supposedly freethinking outcasts would place so much emphasis on conformity to their standards. It was simple peer pressure. There are so many examples I can think of. Perturbator did a Q&A on 8/mu/, and which went well until /pol/ asked if they could use one of his songs in an anti-immigration video, and spammed "cuck" for hundreds of posts when he said no. Then there was the buzz around the lunar eclipse on the 27th of September 2015 being the moment when the Jews launch their bid for world domination and/or the global economy shatters. It was ludicrous seeing people getting banned for even questioning it.

There were good moments, obviously. I met people I'm still friends with now. I used /fit/ to get fit, /loomis/ to take up art as a hobby. There was this one really funny chick who played through Otome games while typing in all caps to get everyone hyped up.

Ultimately it wasn't as big a part of my life as it was for most people, so it's tough to say whether I miss it or not. I don't use social media that much, and I think that's been good for me. I have a solid family and growing network of people I hang out with in real life, so I no longer have that deficiency of social interaction that imageboards once filled. Maybe it would be best to just remember the good and let things take their course, whether that be a return to the golden days, transforming into something newPost too long.

Just a random rant…

I don't go back that far, I arrived in late 2009 / early 2010 and stuck to r9k the entire time. The culture on r9k at that time was fine, lots of nice people recommending me good movies and books to read, a lot of interesting threads from people around the world in different occupations and with unique interest. I heard about Wizards for the first time, not realising I would become one a few years later. It was really quite comfy back then for me, and I didn't mind the evolution of the board over time for the most part. If anything, my main problem was with tripfags who were always building cliques which would routinely disrupt normal threads by 2013 or so.

I've read a few threads from archives from earlier 4chan and it doesn't really appeal to me, though I guess I was never a weeaboo. I don't know, something about the way a lot of the threads were based around stories that were presented as if they were real, and plenty of people acted as if they were real, but were obviously fake - I can't stand that aspect, and that was present on r9k when I first got there. Things like 'The Tales of Fionn' just felt like a huge waste of time to me, though some people obviously got a lot out of it.

I just miss the sincere posting. Back in 2011-2013 I was struggling with a lot of depression, on my own without a job due to being bullied out of it, with social anxiety, etc - it was just really nice, it felt like some magical force had brought all these unique and genuine people together, and many of them were going through issues similar to my own, or even if they weren't similar - reading about other people's struggles helped give me perspective, and then there were still lots of fun, interesting threads and stories. It felt like I was getting to pry into all these hidden places, with sushi rolls claiming to work in interesting jobs or have lived through all sorts of unique experiences.

Then a lot of drama took place which I didn't mind at the time and made sense in the context, but by 2016 or so things felt very different, and things went rapidly downhill from there as far as i'm concerned, to the point that today its unrecognisable. It's just filled with irony soaked meme shit, it feels like a wasteland so I've managed to stop going there the past few years more or less. The worst thing is this feeling that all the genuine people have evaporated, I was probably already a little older than the averaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Reading this honestly made me feel happy. Im glad you found your own inner peace.

I started browsing back in 2010. I sometimes miss the culture but when I look back in the archives and stuff I don't really know what I'm actually missing. Maybe it's the nostalgia of the dumb edgy humor and being a teenager. But anyway, post GG/2016 chan culture is mostly just pol stuff, and I'm glad I grew out of being a racist teenager and liking that stuff. It feels a lot more freeing now to not just constantly look at negativity on 4chan/8chan anymore and instead to come to places like this.

>>2352
Indeed, us internet tough guys thrive on edginess and saying things LIKE THEY ARE. Positivity is a scam. There is nothing worth enjoying in this dark, ruthless world, not even interactions with others. Conflict keeps us focused: being amiable is for literal babies.

>>2353
None of the edgy lot nowadays seems genuine at all in their rants.

Maybe becuse it's just the same "real" stuff repeated ad nauseam, meaning there is no real insight behind it. In fact it sounds like it could be automated, and there's nothing interesting about things that can be automated.

>>1919
good to see you're still around itamae

>>2354
The problem is that everything can be automated.

>>1916
I think it's important to remember that no matter his bluster, sushi rollymous is a coward, and sticks not to his own principles. Indeed, even the edgiest keyboard warrior will reveal himself to be every bit as fake as the carefully polished vlogger on YouTube.
