Question /c/

How many of you lurk /c/ "part-time" per say.

/c/ is never busy so I hardly spend time lurking it, just view first page then bugger off...

But every now and then there comes a super thread (in my case a Feito Chan from Lyrical Nanoha or a Kagami thread from Lucky star) but its always wedged in between Naruto Fan boys and people that think Soul Eater is great.

I know that sounds like a bit of a troll, but I seriously wanna know how many people out there actually feel this way.

tl;dr: Why is there so much Naruto/Soul Eater stuff and do people actually like it?

The nice thing about /c/ is that even if you finish half a thread, it will still be there a week later

See that I can agree with, when a good thread comes around it'll stay around...but same goes for the bad ones too :(

/c/ is busier than you'd think. It doesn't move as fast as /a/ or /w/, but it has its pace and I think we /c/omrads take some pride in that. If you look closely, there's scarcely a thread with under 30 images.

The newer weeaboos like Naruto, that's why.

Also, this thread is now a Chii thread. Because it's been far too long.

Naruto is shallow, but so are shows like Digimon, Pokemon, etc. They're not very deep, but just something fun...and regardless of if you like them or not, most people will admit the shows have their share of eye candy.

If you don't like the thread, it's best just to ignore it. /c/ allows bumping, plus, as already mentioned, it's not like the thread is going to disappear in an instant anyways.

Sorry to sound like a grump in return, but I don't see why it should be such a big deal. If you don't like it, then don't look at it.

can it be a chi/planterian thread?

Good point, but yea...see if I try and explain this I either sound like an asshole or someone who has no life, and in truth I claim to neither...I just find the "mainstream" anime directed at a western audience loses so much culture quality. For example look at Welcome to the NHK or Lucky Star etc...most people simply couldn't comprehend what they're all talking about.

Also, Chii it is

Anime, like all things must have its variety.

"Mainstream" anime, that is to say, "Mainstream in the west;" was mostly commercialized and usually aimed at younger audiences. Pokemon and Digimon have their place. The plots aren't deep, but are occasionally fun.

Tides have changed somewhat with Naruto and Bleach becoming popular, but what's mainstream in Japan, primarily moe, is still the domain of us on the fringe.

Stop and consider that maybe this is for the best. Keeps the riff-raff out :P

>>789580
Also, nicer people. /a/ is /b/ compared to /c/ (heh).

>>789598
There aren't that many out there.

I generally go through /c/ once a day and find that new content stops around page 3 or 4.

Naruto himself is inspiring to loudmouths with no friends (guilty!). He also has a near-mute stalker, that always helps.

The show is popular because it found just the right balance of violent fights, Wapanese culture, and odd character designs to attract a massive fanbase.

OP, if there's any show you know of that does any one of those things better, this Narutard's all ears.

I don't think it's too bad in here. Sure, 'popular' stuff is well-represented -- as would be expected if it's popular -- but /c/ has plenty of more obscure stuff around too, whether as series-specific threads, or in themed "girls standing on one foot while wearing a top hat"-type threads.

And more importantly, /c/ somehow makes anonymous act like a decent human being instead of spending all of his time trolling about how <topic of thread> sucks. So yeah, there are Naruto / Pokemon / whatever threads mixed in from time to time. They have cute girls, it's all fair game. Becoming elitist about it would be contrary to the friendly, supportive, low-drama nature that makes /c/ such a haven from the other boards.

-Full time /c/ anon

(and yes, we must have a Chii thread. I somehow have nothing of her either. This injustice must be corrected!)

You're right there, Pokemon, Digimon, Naruto etc are exactly that: fun... low brainpower, sit and vegitate fun. Lets face it, you can't watch stuff that makes you think all the time, otherwise your brain would dribble out your ears...

But hey, they're accessible, and it gets people into anime. Some will stick with those, others will branch out into more obscure stuff.


Sadly, my folders lack Chii... in the process of rectifying that.

Oh, and full time /c/omrade. It's the first board I visit on 4chan each day. mostly 'cause it doesn't make me want to punch anon through the monitor.

Chii battlegrounds? Now theres an interesting concept...

>>789728

Also Op here again. Sure you raise a good point, I can understand Naruto's appeal and that we all wouldn't want to watch things like LAIN 24/7 lest our brains asplode.

But tbh I look to things like Samurai Champloo for action and I rather liked Trigun to be honest - Probably one of the first anime I watched when I was a little younger.

Entertainment then? Try GTO...god knows I love GTO.

Yeah... What happened to Digimon, anyway? We need a massive Digimon image dump.

I only stop in on /c/ every once and a while because it's too cutesy for me. And I don't mean it's too worksafe, because I spend most of my time in /cm/. I mean... everything in here is just way too childish. In before "derf /c/ stands for cute"

but man I sure would like some worksafe girls who didn't look like blobs of marshmallow sometimes. Pic related.

Agreed, while there isn't all that much content I would like to post and whatnot (as it would defeat the purpose of being cute) I still come here now cause its lax and slow...I dont have to spam f5 just to be able to find that post I just made...

We do have reverse trap and NOODLE PEOPLE threads every once in a while.

Personally, I think
>girls wearing a top hat while standing on one leg
is a brilliant idea.

also some people don't like /cm/ because it's full of faggotry. literally. in all three ways.
>> Aro !!tth/tv+hsYe
>>790302
...Five, actually.
>> Curvy Tangerine
>>790302
If by noodle people you mean girls in the style of the pic I posted, that's not really the only thing I'm talking about when I say "not cutesy," and from what I've seen, /c/'s idea of a reverse trap is... interesting, but I digress.

I don't know what you're referencing with the one leg and top hat thing so whatever.

I'm aware that plenty of people don't like /cm/ and I'm VERY aware it's full of homo faggotry. That's... a big reason why I hang out there. As for the users over there being faggots, I hate to break this to you, but every single person on 4chan is a faggot and every board sucks ass, so I think you /c/omrades should pull your heads out of your asses and stop circle jerking.

>>789610
re: "what's mainstream in Japan" being "moe", you should probably look up stats on One Piece before you say that. There is more than one thing in the mainstream. Moe is only mainstream for preteen girls and certain kinds of older guys.

And I hate to break this to you, but Pokemon and Digimon are children's shows in Japan, too.

I hate to break this to you, but until you posted, no one acted like a faggot, and this board has been rather pleasant...

So no thanks, we stay here...you can go play in the other boards :D

Jeez, I was kidding; only referring to the gay and the copious amounts of males smoking cigarettes.

I sometimes go to /cm/, but as soon as I think it's alright something related to sasunaru pops out of nowhere.

eh, sorry then, I realize I'm being bitchy and thought about deleting my comment but that is more of an asshole move than making it. /c/ people being smug about /c/ has irritated me for a while so I guess I'll just leave my blustering there for everyone to look at.

And believe me, a lot of /cm/ hates the SasuNaru as much as you do.

I said -primarily- moe. And if you look at the last few anime seasons, you'll have to agree.

As far as /c/omrades being smug about /c/, you god-damn right I am. Never been to /cm/, not much inclination to go there, either; but I came here from /b/, and I found this place to be kind, honest and receptive. No-one will here will raise their 'voice' at you, shun you or be rude to you. I haven't seen this anywhere else. So yeah, I, for one, am smug about /c/, and IMO, for good reason.
It's a good place and you don't have to be here, if you don't want to. Though, we'll be happy if you stayed and contributed.

..And they're not -all- blobs :P
