Stone Cold Steve Austin

    Boku no Pico:
    something that was so bad oldfags started recommending to newcomers as joke, but newfags misunderstood everything and actually watched it, thinking it's part of a certain board's culture.

    Riguma Borusu

      never heard of it

      despair

        Boku no pico, good anime

        Stone Cold Steve Austin

          Yeah, it's very obvious you never heard of it in the same way I've never heard of a show where pastel colored horses talk.

          despair

            Well i guess you could say that it is an exquisite anime

            死の恐怖 Haseo

                Read somewhere:
                Once you watch Boku no Pico, you'll never look at ice cream cones the same way XD

                Any

                  Once you watch boku no pico, you'll never be the same person who you were before again...
                  That show gives a lot of moral/lessons while providing an exquisite form of entertainment

                        Anime in 2k17 lmao
                        Here's the real question
                        How do u guys watch anime without feeling like a degen
                        Not a joke this is serious I tried to watch anime a couple days ago and all I could think is what my mother would think of me if she knew I watch this shit

                        Riguma Borusu

                          how do you feel about wasting thousands on hours on an online game

                          Zemo-san

                            yeah, I also think what my mother would think of me if I watch the murder scenes in blood c

                            totally for kids, just grow the f up guys ffs

                            Riguma Borusu

                              if I watched blood c the worst thing my mother would think of me is that I have shit taste in anime

                              just kidding my mother does not even know I watch anime and not because I hide it from her but because I don't own any physical representation of me being a fan

                              Stone Cold Steve Austin

                                Things like Blood C are exactly the ones that's geared towards relatively young audience. By the way.

                                  Yeah I know, toddlers love the show

                                  cartel

                                    @rpqboy That's exactly why I stopped playing this game too
                                    Just imagine how you would cringe if u see ur sons profile pic and its some loli anime shit idc

                                    Zemo-san

                                      from all the things that can happen to children: drugs, crime etc. anime is by far the worst

                                                      It's just used for people who still think that shows with male protags, and "dark" atmosphere (Death Note being a prime example, which has a shounen, meaning preteen-young teen boys) are made for adults.

                                                                        Whereas something like Ichigo Mashimaro, which ran in a seinen magazine, and the anime had the same target audience again (seinen = young adult males) is going like this in MAL:

                                                                            Did you hear about cultural shock guys?

                                                                              Zemo-san

                                                                                you started your argument with "relatively young" audience and went on with terms like "young boys", you didn't even grasp for the teenager card anymore

                                                                                did you know that 12 year olds have sex nowadays? not even in japan but in the main part of the first world countries and you come with "cultural shock" because of a shonen magazine targeting the audience of a shonen manga/anime

                                                                                your art of argumentation reminds me of the young turks tbh

                                                                                lets define something:
                                                                                shonen: 12 to 18 year olds, having material of 17+ in it but you will define it as if it was targeted for the 12 year olds only

                                                                                there are interests in people beyond cultural boundaries that are defined in psychology and even a 17 year old can figure out that he can watch 18+ year old content without any backlash, that still doesn't mean it is targeted for this kind of audience, not in EU, not in NA and Japan

                                                                                good god dude

                                                                                ywn

                                                                                  itadaki seieki!
                                                                                  best plot ever

                                                                                  Stone Cold Steve Austin

                                                                                    Sperging out against definitions now is a bit unsightly, and if we have to define, shounen is more 10-16, hardly fitting in to 17+.
                                                                                    And shows like Death Note are indeed targeted for, and is most enjoyed by teenagers. Especially in Japan.
                                                                                    But whatever helps you feel like you are more mature, man, I'm not gonna judge.
                                                                                    At least try not to completely twist what I'm saying on purpose. In case you ACTUALLY didn't understand it let me put it as simply as I can:

                                                                                    Cultural shock means the western media marks shows with a bit of violence as "adult", even if they have younger target audience in Japan, and shows without violence/featuring cute girls as "okay for children", despite being targeted at adult males, for example.

                                                                                    Zemo-san

                                                                                      you still didn't provide any evidence other than your personal opinion:
                                                                                      google: "shonen" first thing that pops on the screen click:
                                                                                      "Shōnen, shonen, or shounen manga (少年漫画 shōnen manga) is manga aimed at a young male audience. The age group varies with individual readers and different magazines, but it is primarily intended for boys between the ages of 12 to 18"

                                                                                      its not me defining some numbers out of my butthole when I say 12 to 18 what I could assume out of the "shounen is MORE 10-16"
                                                                                      yeah I don't care what you think, provide me some evidence ffs

                                                                                      you are talking about japan as if they are in a different dimension who live a completely different life than the rest of the world
                                                                                      -> they aren't

                                                                                      and why do you insert a "feel like you are more mature" when we are arguing about the target audience being teenage boys on a gaming forum? do you actually think I am arguing to feel more mature?

                                                                                      I will give this to you, I don't even care about being right here, but ffs use citation sources if you are arguing with someone about a certain topic...
                                                                                      I am not even saying that my sources are right, but damn it, show me what are the right sources, thats how you have a discussion

                                                                                      Stone Cold Steve Austin

                                                                                        Why would I cite sources, when I'm just talking about things here? Okay, it might be 12-18, but that's still not really the "17+" range, which is my point.
                                                                                        And as for Japan, it's not a different dimension, but it is a different culture. Once again, I've just illustrated it with examples.
                                                                                        If you want to argue just for the sake of arguing, then there's nothing to talk about here.

                                                                                        Any

                                                                                          best plot ever

                                                                                          This is hentai according to MaL

                                                                                          Zemo-san

                                                                                            I am not arguing for the sake of argument, we literally have a discussion that you started and are dropping out without providing anything but your personal opinion.
                                                                                            12-18 means both years are included
                                                                                            17+ means there is no restrictions from 17 upwards. That means it covers the audience of shonen.
                                                                                            Notice, it doesn't have to cover the whole audience to be considered one.

                                                                                            I really don't know where you got this strange sense of japanese people being some kind of "law breaking" mentality where things like violence aren't considered to be violence or sexuality being sexuality. Is this some kind of weeaboo shit that I am not aware of?

                                                                                            mid/carry

                                                                                              Riguma Borusu

                                                                                                Stone Cold Steve Austin

                                                                                                  Pray tell me, do you think something like this would be considered as a staple series for adult men in the west?
                                                                                                  https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2787

                                                                                                  Zemo-san

                                                                                                    Strawman.
                                                                                                    No true scotsman.
                                                                                                    Non sequitur.

                                                                                                    Also please, I will grant you anything you said till now, just find me a study that agrees with you that kids love violence.
                                                                                                    Just that one and you win the whole argument.
