then make a thread about other anime

we've watched 4 out of the 5 animu you mention on cytube nights as well as older anime (which makes up the majority)
https://wiki.heyuri.net/index.php?title=Heyuri_Cytube#Previous_streams

they're popular themselves so theres naturally more screencaps, GIFs, etc. of them already in circulation.

I don't think this warrants site discussion, but if you don't want people to see this thread for whatever reason I guess this works
>>69912
I'm talking about the images used more than discussion distinctly following these anime. The user culture is centered around Internet-Approved Old Funny anime rather than actual old anime. It's not authentic.
>>69913
More popular is one thing, but it seems that the same things get brought up over and over with little variation.

>I'm talking about the images used more than discussion
>rather than actual old anime.
Then post more screencaps and gifs from the anime you want to see
It's really as simple as that.

>>69917
The question is about other people not doing it. Are you pretending it's about something else?

False premise aside (lurk moar), each individual user posts about whatever they want to post - any effort to change or manipulate that would be "not authentic"

i was gonna post something older, but i really like haruhi. Need to rewatch it soon

>>69919
>lurk moar
I've been here for several years.
>each individual user posts about whatever they want to post
And I seek to ask them why they post the same five things, which is why I posted this in /b/ and not /q/
>any effort to change or manipulate that would be "not authentic"
It would be not authentic to who the posters are, yes. I'm asking the posters why they are like that.
>>69920
Oh, haruhi. That's a deep cut there. Watch Disappearance of Nagato-San instead. Yuki with tryptophan-induced brain damage is best Yuki.

It's annoying getting the runaround from people who browse /q/ instead of getting actual feedback. I can make a new thread that specifies I'm not discussing the site if that'd please the court.

I like to post about only the cutest anime girls, the 9s and 10s. I've watched lots of old anime where the girls are a 6 or 7/10 and forgettable, not worth looking up pics of or taking screenshots of. We could discuss how much we'd like to rape and impregnate the lolis in some old less popular mild-moderately cute anime like Akko-chan or Figure 17 though if you wanna make a thread about one of those.

>I can make a new thread that specifies I'm not discussing the site if that'd please the court.
Well, you did start it off addressing us with the "you all" so that implies us as in the people who post on this website. No?
If you meant the broader otaku community then that's a different conversation, and one I'd be interested in seeing. ヽ(´∇`)ノ

people browsing the overboard will still see this thread and i left the shadow thread up for a bit, so users can see/reply/discuss
>I can make a new thread that specifies I'm not discussing the site if that'd please the court.
itz about heyuri & its users so it fits here. /q/ is just the appropriate board for such things

While i do think OP has a valid point for this thread, as sometimes newer imgz surface more than older. And there's nothing wrong with that as I like new anime too! However, I always keep in mind what I want Heyuri to be - so i try search for older image when posting. But I assume an larger issue is that most people get their image from other BBS that doesn't have a lot of older image floating around any more due to how internet has "outgrew" them to more newer picz. I doubt people go out their way to search image... Butt!

I personally love to use https://nozomi.la/ and search for a tag -> then go to the last page. That way i can keep heyuri old but gold!

Be teh change!

wait, moetan isn't that old, right?
...2007? what the fuck?
it genuinely looks way newer than that, like post-2010
and not even in a "augh, it's new-anime bullshit" kind of way, it just looks way less like what came before it aesthetically than what came after it

ah... ink kawaii...

>And I seek to ask them why they post the same five things, which is why I posted this in /b/ and not /q/
Ehh... it's fairly apparent from teh OP text that u were more interested in calling out and riling up supposed "fake anime fans" on Heyuri than being genuinely curious about why certain shows are commonly featured around here

If u must know, certain shows are commonly featured in users' posts bcuz (in my opinion):

- Heyuri's anime-watching users are largely interested in 2000s moe, SoL, and comedy/ecchi anime. It's a general characteristic of the userbase since day 1, which has attracted like-minded individuals whenever they've encountered the site

- those types of shows were - among many others that are far lesser known - nominated and watched on Heyuri cytube; the goal of which was to inspire more discussion, images, OC, etc. about those shows. Mission successful!

- they have been staples on Western moe-oriented imageboard communities since they aired, and are commonly brought up and recommended

- they're great shows that are classics for a reason (again, among moe anime fans - not in general). Older fans remember them fondly, newer fans watch them first to get accustomed

- it's better than the stuff that's actually popular among Western anime fans: currently-airing crap, shounenshit, Toonami shows, top-rated shows on MAL, etc. A bajillion more people have seen DBZ, One Piece, Sailor Moon, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, etc. than shows liek Rozen Maiden or Azumanga Daioh. U probably wouldn't want to browse a site centered around those types of shows any more than I would - hence why ur here!

OP, do u ever join cytube streams? There are many users here who are interested enough to monthly binge (usually) old anime

u think heyuri users are posers till you check the watchtime of some of the people in the MAL club

kaguya has watched like 500 shows in the past 6 years (;ﾟ∀ﾟ)

we also talk about this hot witch

There's also the fact that popular shows have more pictures made of them. They get more fan art, and you'll see more people post official art of it without looking it up yourself, so you'll obviously save more of them.
The only kinds of pictures you'll casually save while watching anime instead of saving from the internet are full unedited screenshots, and those are not posted unless a character said something funny that's relevant to the discussion or you're discussing cool looking shots. The kinds of images that tend to be posted more often tend to be edited in some way (reaction images tend to be cropped for example). Since they require more effort than just clicking the s key on your keyboard, people get them from the internet rather than make them themselves while watching the anime, so the amount of such images from a particular anime is directly proportional to its popularity.

>suspiciously popular anime series

Just because an old anime is vogue right now doesnt mean we should stop enjoying it.

Quality is also usually proportional to popularity. Cardcaptor and Doremi are referenced a lot here because they're significantly better than anything that came before them.

>>69927
so it's all they know?
>staples
Yeah, that's another way of saying what I said.
I don't know if it's the English barrier or something, but I'm wondering why it's rare to see any of the other bajillion 2000s moe, SoL, and comedy/ecchi anime that were released around the time.
>they're great shows that are classics for a reason
that's the same reasoning people use to only ever watch shounenshit and saturday morning cartoons. It's reminding me of my highschool's anime club that just booted up Netflix and watched the same kids' shows over and over.
>>69928
I only joined the Ashiteruze Baby one. I can't remember when that was.
>>69931
This sounds like a GPT wrote it. I know that popular images are popular anon. Thanks for making that clear.
>>69932
Only certain old anime is in vogue right now, which is why you don't see other old shows. Because the other shows aren't fashionable

>>69934
My point wasn't that popular pictures are popular, it's that most picture posted are not pure screenshots.

>I only joined the Ashiteruze Baby one. I can't remember when that was.
There wasn't one - that was only a monthly anime back in 2020

Anyways, it seems liek ur more interested in trolling that discussing, so I'm out ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

>>69936
I don't think you know what the definition of trolling is. Dealing with a swarm of gung-ho ESL's not understanding my point isn't trolling. Criticizing people for acting like a highschool anime club but of OLD anime isn't trolling either.
>that was only a monthly anime back in 2020
Well fucking excuse me.

Well I think u should join some of our streams before making any strong claims.

>Dealing with a swarm of gung-ho ESL's
It's among the good parts of Heyuri!

>Dealing with a swarm of gung-ho ESL's not understanding my point isn't trolling. Criticizing people for acting like a highschool anime club but of OLD anime isn't trolling either.
Trollin' trollin' trollin', rawhiiide♪

OP if you want to prove you're serious and not just trolling, name your top 10 favorite old anime that you wish Heyuri would talk about more

>>69937
Heyuri isn't for old anime specifically, you know? Fans of newer anime are welcome as well, and they can talk about Frieren or whatever all you want. We've watched mitsuboshi colors on cytube which is new.
I still don't get what you want exactly. In the first 5 pages of /b/ and page 1 of /a/ I've seen pictures of milky holmes, genshiken, ika musume, jewelpet twinkle, ufo princess valkyrie, magipoka, zero no tsukaima and saki (as well as newer anime like wataten). On cytube we've watched manabi straight, kurenai, elfen lied, mahoutsukai tai, midori no hibi, angel tales, binchou-tan, doujin work, geobreeders, galaxy angel, alien 9 and a bunch of others.
They're not exactly obscure anime, but it's not any less than I'd expect to be posted on an average anime related website, specially since like I said, people don't post screenshots and talk about every anime they watch.

>>69938
Why? Doing that wouldn't augment the history of the site. If you're trying to tell me there's some hidden side to it then tell me that.
>>69939
Being direct isn't trolling
>>69940
Sketchbook Colors
NieA_7
Haibane Renmei
Aria
Kamen no Maid Guy (Not too old but still)
Toward the Terra
Planetes
Cosplay Complex
Utena
Legend of Black Heaven
Those are just off the top of my head, but it isn't as if watching old shit is a hard task. Any dumbass can go to nyaa, download an old show, and blow seven hours watching it. The point is that it seems as if people aren't doing that but pretend that they're the type that does.
>>69941
>Heyuri isn't for old anime specifically, you know?
That's fair, but I'm not going to pretend that old anime isn't intrinsic to the site's culture.
>Ika-musume
Neat

>>69942
the image didn't post for some goddamned reason. Pretend that I sent a photo of the top menu of an Ika Musume BD on my TV

>>69944
Scroll up, genius.

Don't give directions when you've failed to follow any

>>69942
>The point is that it seems as if people aren't doing that but pretend that they're the type that does.
I mean you can say that, but a lot of the anime we've watched on cytube isn't any more popular or in vogue than the ones you listed.

>>69942
I seen these:
Sketchbook Colors
NieA_7
Haibane Renmei
Aria
Planetes
Cosplay Complex
Legend of Black Heaven (watching atm)

If you really was to maek a thread of any these... i would for certain be happy to make a reply on my thoughts. And at some point i already made a thread about some of these, as for example, Haibane Renmei - I am a huge fan of ABe and already made post about him. Issue is that we still are a small community and threads disappear with time. I do wish our /a/ board was more active but that is what it is.

I need 2 finish Ryushika Ryushika...

Hello OP, welcome to /q/. I see you have voiced an unpopular opinion and thus your thread has been autosaged by the mods.

As a defense attorney with over 2 weeks of experience, I regularly defend users who I think have faced unfair moderation actions against their threads. As I believe we wont gain new users if we treat them this way (Even if we disagree with what they have to say at first).

Your thread has been autosaged, and I believe this is an injustice.

I hereby request that the mods un-autosage this thread, as its a lively discussion. You cant say it fits the board since YOU, the mod, moved it over here. Autosaging it is just a way for you to display your displeasure and we dont need you to do that.

Thats all for this post.

great reply. 10/10
>>69948
scroll up yourself. This was addressed
>>69949
It's fine, I know the people who post on /q/ usually are ass-kissing pussies. If I want to make a new thread in /b/ about this I will

lol, so u are just a troll?

>>69951
>I mean you can say that, but a lot of the anime we've watched on cytube isn't any more popular or in vogue than the ones you listed.
The key word is "diversity". Get that through your skull
>>69951
Arguing != trolling. Also repeatedly calling someone a troll despite not being one also isn't trolling. That's being lazy.

>>69951
i have never seen ryushika before despite watching some Abe shows, and suddenly i see her twice today? are those signs that i am the chosen one ?

https://youtu.be/sDFTcpcXbrM?si=mUEjZroJA1SI-acL&t=1221

I think it simply has to do with some shows being more influential than others. Dejiko was the face of Akiba for many years, Rozen Maiden had (still has?) yearly festivals, Haruhi defined a genre and is the queen of /h/ here.

As for the anime you counted, there are multiple threads about them, but there are less chances to refer to them in usual discussions. If you are interested in discussing specific anime, you also shouldn't be shy to use our Anime board - you are likely to find some other interested people eventually

>>69953
>The key word is "diversity". Get that through your skull
Diversity of what? Genre?
This post >>69934 made me think your problem was the number of shows, not that they're all the same genre.
>I don't know if it's the English barrier or something, but I'm wondering why it's rare to see any of the other bajillion 2000s moe, SoL, and comedy/ecchi anime that were released around the time.
I think I've proven we did watch a bajillion other moe and comedy shows other than the ones you mentioned in the OP.

>>69942
>Sketchbook Colors, Haibane Renmei, Aria, Cosplay Complex
I've watched some episodes of these and got bored. We have different tastes.
>NieA_7, Kamen no Maid Guy, Planetes, Utena
I've seen some clips or looked at enough info about these that I'm certain I wouldn't like them. Maybe I'll try NieA_7 someday but it looks like it'll be just as boring as Haibane Renmei.
>Toward the Terra, Legend of Black Heaven
These are the only two I haven't heard of and they look awful. We have very different tastes, I like shows with lots of cute lolis and as few annoying shotas and salarymen as possible.

>>69959
>I think I've proven we did watch a bajillion other moe and comedy shows other than the ones you mentioned in the OP
"We" as in the 30 or so people that regularly participate in watchalongs versus a website with hundreds of daily users. Why is this so hard to understand

OP, to actually give an answer to the original question you asked (why users keep posting the same 5 anime even though they're "all supposed to be into old shit" and "there was other anime made during that time" (your words)), one I can think of is that those are the ones most users here like the most. There's probably a 100 other anime, but since most users dont like them as much as those main 5, they don't talk a lot about them unprompted. Imagine asking what sodas people like drinking the most. Most would probably say Coca-Cola or Pepsi! You probably won't get an answer like luzocade or jarritos that often.

If you want to get more people talking about other old anime, make a thread and anyone interested will reply! But you can't force users to talk about something they don't like or enjoy watching.

>>69964
And how do you know what the other users are watching? More anime than the ones you mentioned get posted in the first place like I mentioned here >>69941
And even if they didn't, the pictures you post don't really reflect the anime they are watching, because of the reasons I pointed out here >>69931
