KC Green's The Anime Club is getting an animated series

Yes.

Yes

only if its a period piece set in the 2000s before every plebe became a le nerd and was into anime. back when you got made fun of for watching chinese cartoons

didn't these fags kill themselves in a gay boy suicide pact lol fags

Have you read the comic? The author also portrays the more normalfag anime fans from that time that are into stuff like naruto.

Community self hate award
I am so smart award

sounds boring, looks lame

The specific concept of the highschool anime club is outdated. Angry pedantic nerds will never be outdated.

Kids/teenagers are reading more manga now-a-days than any other type of book. It's the one section in book stores and school libraries that keeps expanding due to demand. It's even more relevant now to have an anime club in school.

Neat

Anime clubs still exist as a proper thing but only in college for the most part.

They changed their mind
Put all their flesh back on

FPBP (But it'll be interesting how they represent modern-day anime like Dragon Maid and Spy X Senpai)

The specific concept of the highschool anime club is outdated.

Highschool clubs still exist anon.

not using the dog thing to promote it and get it 100% funded in minutes due to the memes

missed a chance

I remember the join anime club posters/flyers back in college in 2010 - 2011.
They had pictures of both Lucky Star and TTGL characters on them... 3 to 4 years after those shows had aired at the time.
I immediacy recalled that you don't watch a moe show and a GAR show at the same time.

What a strange thing to remember and then remember what I remembered at the time.

Doesn't help dude killed his own meme after 2016 election.

Lmao I'll never forget walking into my college circa 2013 and seeing a car with the Gurren Lagann emblem on its back window with a printed-out image of Konata Izumi on its back-right. The Gurren Lagann one looked like actual decal but the Lucky Star one was just Konata pointing upwards against a white background printed out as a square. It's so weird in retrospect how those two series captured the Western anime discourse for so long.

this is now an Anime Club reaction image thread

Ah yes, the good ol' "strike when the iron is ice cold and packed away into the back closet forgotten" tactic

no pilot

full on fucking series

Bill was too based for this gay world...

to be honest I liked the death cult more

The comic it's from isn't even that old anon...

2006-2007 were the years that culturally the western anime community till Sword Art Online came out, wiped the field, and heralded the era of being inundated with seasonal anime thus killing any cultural monoculture within the community.

THE ANIME CLUB IS A PILE OF SHIT!

Shame because SAO was fucking shit and was just retreading the premise of .hack, something that aired on fucking Toonami. A real contender for the worst anime to ever actually become popular.

anime and manga have never been more mainstream

KC Green became an insufferable faggot in the time since making the source material

Yeah sounds like it’s gonna be shit

Sword Art Online and .hack are nothing alike aside from the first line of the premise. One is wish fulfillment fantasy and the other is 26 episodes about the world's most thinly veiled depression metaphor.

ALL THE HORSES...SHE TOOK ALL THE HORSES!

That's exactly WHY the concept is outdated. Anime is no longer the hobby of cringy weirdos. Nowadays my fucking landlord sees the Haruhi doll on my shelf and starts telling me about how she watches Demon Slayer and One Piece with her 10 year olds.

Anime is no longer the hobby of cringy weirdos.

Woah, pump the breaks, lil' fella. There's definitely enough weirdo anime culture to make the idea relevant.

I remember me and some friends planing to make an anime club but then we realized no one wanted to stay after school so we just ended sharing hentai and porn movies like cannibal holocaust.

Attack on Titan also had insane popularity and it wasn't good either. It had a crossover with Spider-Man for some reason.

The two-thousand teens felt like nothing but hype for hype's sake and then disappointing deliveries on all fronts.
The mere IDEA of something becoming the next mega popular thing was almost enough to make it into the next mega popular thing. I think that's how MHA got so popular despite being painfully mediocre most of the time.

Naruto was also really fucking shit after the first hundred or so episodes but people kept watching anyway. Maybe people just have shit taste.

maybe all anime is shit

I gave up on that during filler hell. I dodged a bullet with how bad it got.
I hear the best way to experience it is through the video games.

Nah, there are self-contained series and movies that are actually pretty great. Anything made to hypothetically run forever is in fact shit though.

It has been a thrill working with KC to adapt and expand his original story to reflect a world where the popularity and prevalence of anime has grown, but the fans are still just as pure in their passion as they’ve ever been. Now is the perfect time for this show.

Uh oh, it seems like it will be set in the modern era

MHA was hyped because we were coming down from The Big 3 Era and seeing the flaws thought all long running Shonen were shit.
Then MHA was just a solidly made up through the end of its second major arc and that gave people the hope that it could keep that quality the whole way through.

Ironically Demon Slayer I think came the closest to being good but it wrapped itself up way to early to truly be in the running and so gets a NA on the "can you hold quality for a long period of time" test.

Dear God, I wanna watch a cartoon about THAT

Gamergate episode here we go

The only truly good shonen battle series all the way through was FMA, and that's because it had an intended ending and was barely written as a shonen battle series in the first place. Maybe Yu Yu Hakusho too but the later arcs are kind of dicey IMO, not counting HxH since it's technically not finished.

cartoon I don't know but in anime there's devilman crybaby that has amazonian native being obliterated and general cannibalism between demons

You think they would've learned after Toriko was hyped up the way it was and then failed to deliver because the anime pussied out of any of the gore. Seriously, what the shit.

Demon Slayer feels boring to me. I think it's hard carried by the animation having fewer QUALITY moments than the norm, otherwise the series would be rather unoriginal.

Maybe all media is shit.

Why did they put Anon Babble girl in a manga?

Controversial take, but I think the manga of One Piece is solid even if there is a distinct repetition of themes in the arcs after Arabasta. You know, helping a princess or going on a rescue mission. But the changing islands keep it fresh for me. The Grand Line having islands that can vary from prehistoric to futuristic with enough isolation from each other that no two cultures feel out of place in the same series was genius.

Why are you a newfag?

Anime Club made at a time when anime was starting to become mainstream and otaku's were bitter about it

2025, anime is solidly mainstream and otaku's are still bitter about it

I don't get why people are acting like this is an outdated concept

Bill was too based for this gay world...

TRVKE. I love how author tried to make him worst of the worst in final book, but he remained as the only one of the club that didn't sell out

It really is a late idea

Ironically Demon Slayer I think came the closest to being good

that's really sad

Honestly both Demon Slayer and MHA were always extremely mid. Pretty looking maybe but it have every goddamn stupid shonenshit trope you can expect since like the word go.

But they did cosplay for that Wizard photo contest
Josh got set on fire and won as the Human Torch

Yeah don't get me wrong Demon Slayer is nothing fantastic but out of the Big Shonen Series series it was competently made and kept its consistent ok'ness through its entire run, likely because it ended before the creator burned out and it shit the bed like the majority of other series.
See I barely consider FMA a Shonen, at least in the western expectation and tradition of the term. But that might just be because it did things differently enough to stick the landing.

pretty much this. a modern day "anime club" would be mostly made up of niggers and other mystery meat mutts as modern anime mostly gears towards them nowadays. KC's anime club depiction is of a very old archetype of fan that just doesnt exist anymore and has no one left to relate to it. your average mutt with a crunchyroll sub and a JJK hoodie would not be able to relate whatsoever

, and heralded the era of being inundated with seasonal anime thus killing any cultural monoculture within the community.

That's wrong. The monoculture lasted at least until the 2020s when the pandemic brought too many people for it to exist anymore.

Mainly the attitude is what's different. Early 2000s anime was also slop in hindsight, but beyond it being a slightly different flavor of slop from what we're getting at present, it also felt far more novel and visibly foreign even after all the whitewashing and censorship by companies. It's why anime nerds were particularly picked out as their own brand of obnoxious elitist from the comic and video game nerds for example, where the face of the fandom was either old fucks who imported shit from overseas or the kind of deluded teens/young adults exactly like the Anime Club who really had no place acting like they're hot shit compared to the trekkies or comic collectors. And now that anime is old enough a medium for grandparents to know about it, and anime is just accepted as yet another normal person consumer model right alongside video games, tiktok and witter, it means that whatever direction the Anime Club is going to go with in the present is going to have to bee a different level of bitter and entitled compared to the original comic.

Reminds me of animated Junji Ito. Yeah, the studio was shit so the animation spiraled downward but its just not meant to be watched animated even if its done decently.

If Eltingville gets picked up for a full series, Evan Dorkin will commit suicide by jumping off a bridge.

slop slop slop

I hate zoom-zoom language.

Nerds are the archenemy of leftism, so it’s going to be an uphill battle.

of fan that just doesnt exist anymore

Not really. I am sure that you could find still find guys like them in some circles or even on Anon Babble . The thing is that they wouldn't even care about this since it's "westernslop" so it would still have no audience.

I'm sorry, would describing it as "trash" have really been any better? Cause they both convey the same exact sentiment, an endless avalanche of crudely dubbed waifu bait bullshit that fans latched onto with both feet tight due to already having their hands full holding their microdicks. And that's just how things were. But either way, '"trash" and "slop" imo convey the same sentiment of endless cultural flotsam Japan sold to us like pigfeed in a sty, and everyone fucking ate it up.

Yes? I just hate how retarded zoomer language sounds.

an endless avalanche of crudely dubbed waifu bait bullshit t

Also there were plenty of fantastic anime in the 00s.

Early 2000s anime was something you watched in three parts in shit quality uploaded to youtube if you were in high school at the time.
Anything earlier than that you likely either saw on TV or had to get it on VHS or DVD if you were lucky (or unlucky with all the early aliasing DVDs had). Bootlegging was... difficult. I wasn't into anime early enough to have first hand experience with needing to contact a fansub group to have a VHS tape physically mailed to my address to watch anime with subs, but that was a thing before the internet became useful. I think you can still find digitized versions of Corn Subs out there, that's how I first saw Space Pirate Captain Harlock.

If you want to get pedantic about it the presence of a monoculture in the west died with game of thrones season 8.
The monoculture I'm talking about it the one where practically every anime fan saw Cowboy Bebop, Haruhi, Guren Lagan, and at least one of The Big Three.
AoT and SaO were hyped up but were siloed off into their own communities after their first seasons, large communities no doubt, but the lacked the sheer prevalence of the previous era in having a monoculture. If anything Jojo was the closet but even the that community was still ultimately siloed, just another huge one.

Yes? I just hate how retarded zoomer language sounds.

Strange, but at least you're honest about it.

Also there were plenty of fantastic anime in the 00s.

There's plenty of fantastic anime in most years if you know where to look, but Sturgeon's law is definitely one of the things that the medium has to live with as well. I'm mostly trying to convey the kind of attitude that would give rise to the attitude in a group like the Anime Club that KC Greene is particularly mocking, where they're basically the nerds who think they're above the commoners in being able to sift through the trash when they're really just choosing the same stuff everyone else recommends...along with the one dude who's just there out of obligation and cause he doesn't know any better.

Early 2000s anime was something you watched in three parts in shit quality uploaded to youtube if you were in high school at the time.

God do I miss those days

Eltingville already did that.

Dudes really go

i watched three anime made for an audience of young boys and it was bad

CARD CAPTOR SAKURA IS A PIECE OF SHIT!

GET OUT OF MY MOM'S HOUSE

The monoculture I'm talking about it the one where practically every anime fan saw Cowboy Bebop, Haruhi, Guren Lagan, and at least one of The Big Three.

But that's not completely true. Even on Anon Babble haruhi was really divisive and only a portion of people actually liked it while the others hated it. Same with lucky star. GoT was also siloed off into its own big community so that's a weird comparison. Also Kill la Kill aired close to aot and sao and it had immense impact and popularity.

Strange

How is it strange? I also hate "mid" and shit like that.

where they're basically the nerds who think they're above the commoners

All CCS appreciators are above common nerds. You have to accept that.

Random memory of watching Mahō Sensei Negima! in a seedy cyber cafe unlocked.

Should I rewatch it for nostalgia's sake?

Even on Anon Babble haruhi was really divisive

Yeah, divisive between patricians and fucking plebeians

And the only ones really available were Rizelmine and Magipoka because 2005/2006 was when this was really a thing.
You were lucky if you could find all the episodes of Love Hina. Then you felt cheated because it did not deliver on the level of ecchi you expected.
But if you were really fucking lucky you would've found the Futari Ecchi OVAs, but you'd only have so much of a hint to look for those if you saw Jungle de Ikou on VHS or in shit youtube quality.

How is it strange? I also hate "mid" and shit like that.

Cause as far as I knew, slop's been common parlance for ages to describe anything of poor quality, people just weren't weirdos who needed to append another word to explicitly state what kind of slop it was

Fucking do it. You'll either love or hate yourself, but just know that we're never getting those days back again and appreciate it for what it was

Meanwhile, I was the weirdo who found those old jjba ova dubs, the one where D'arby sounded like yosemite sam, and thought it was the coolest shit ever

Cause as far as I knew, slop's been common parlance for ages to describe anything of poor quality,

It's true that is has always been a thing but the way it's overused nowadays doesn't seem natural.

It might be a tad overused but it's also true that vasts strata of the entertainment industry, in particular animation both east and west, have really gone down the tubes in a number of ways. Maybe it was because there used to be way more so there was more good stuff through simple probability but it feels like everything is contracting in a bad way.

I never found my way to the JJBA OVAs despite Jojo being a meme since the internet started.
I do remember when dubs were actually keeping in Japanese honorifics though, they did that in Angelic Layer. That was an eye opener to how embarrassing it sounds to actually use Japanese terms when speaking English and helped curb my weeaboo phase.

Sybau.

It doesn't have to do anything with that, also it's mostly used by even more zoomer infested boards like Anon Babble or Anon Babble. The word started getting spread because of goyslop which was a specific word mostly used on Anon Babble.

I used GoT because it was the last cultural touchstone where everyone could sit around a watercooler and you could expect everyone to have kept up with it but your right it lost that status around season 6.
And its not a matter of Haruhi I actually agree with you on not putting it on the list but put it there anyway becuse of where were are, but I will hold that everyone who was into anime in the 2007 era saw Guren and one of the big three. AoT and the rest I mentioned just could not reach that level of raw prevalence past their first seasons.

I am glad that I got to avoid dubshit for the most part

...Didn't KC end Anime Club purely because he was tired of people demanding more of it when he was working on Gunshow?

It's fucking bizarre because anime is BEYOND mainstream now. All my normie nieces and nephews use Frieren avatars on social media. It's not some secret elite niche hobby anyone bothers making a "club" about anymore.

I still have an anime club at my university and they had some gits:sac screenings.

The word started getting spread because of goyslop which was a specific word mostly used on Anon Babble.

Eeeeh, that's a bit of a stretch.

Genshiken already exists.

Not really. You probably weren't paying attention but it got so massive at some point that every third word on Anon Babble was goyslop and then it morphed into people just writing slop.

Slop was already a thing, adding a goy prefix doesn't even change the meaning really. You can check desu and see people as far back as 2008 using slop to denigrate things they think are low quality.

I've already said that I know that but the same archive can show you the frequency of slop's usage. Just on Anon Babble between 2010-2020 it has been used less than 1000 times yet between 2020-now it has been used more than 24000 times. Do you notice something weird?

Damn I thought he was Gary Baseman for a second

They didn't cosplay, they character reenacted out of respect and youthful exuberance.

Yes. Which goes to show how desperate and sold-out he is nowadays.

So will this be like Eltingville Club but it's weebs instead of comic geeks or

Well, what else is he doing now?
Find out for yourself.

A shame it's never getting picked up then.

Let's see a femoid show same dedication, then. No, only thing they will do is put on some thighs and prat around. It's not like there's a deficit of female figures that are on fire, either
