question about anime

Luciana · December 08, 2016, 01:21:15 AM

Anime, like a lot of other things targeted towards the teenage demographic, almost universally stoop to the lowest common denominator. Aka: Fanservice

It's not even clever fanservice at that, like if I guy was legit just checking out a girl subtlety, which is normal. It's the kind where the nice MC (who always somehow gets the girls wet for him because he's "nice") always seems to walk in on a girl changing and she's in her underwear, and she goes into some autistic rage and gets mad and throws something at him

and then 10 episodes later she's in a two piece swim suit and it's fine

Video games do the same thing as well

There is anime out there that doesn't rely on the tropes, and bait service, though I don't think I really have to tell you that.

Edit: I should also note that you're looking at Funimation, which mostly just shows "what's hot right now", and the hot things almost always universally cater to the masses/LCD. To put it in a decent analogy, it's just showing you the "CoD's" of anime.

Stereotypical anime fans are sexually deprived and socially inept, so it'd make sense that the medium caters to their fantasies. And so it'd also make sense to have a bunch of advertisements showing SEXY HENTAI BABES to rake in money from people dumb enough to waste money on a 1/6th scale cat girl figure they can splash their cum onto.
Japan's population rate is also stagnating, so they're trying to get young males into sex by sexualizing the fuck out of everything. But what animation studios don't realize is that having so much perverted shit in anime will only exacerbate that "problem"--why go through the effort of fucking a real girl when they could just stay inside and fuck their dakimakura all day?

You're acting like anime is contributing a lot to that though. It's providing them an escapism really, and it's not just boys. Girls are the ones who are not trying to settle down and get married, and a shit ton of them (I forget the statistic) up to 27 are still virgins.

A huge problem with it is the culture in Japan. You're expected to work hard every day for your entire life, not have much lax time, and the wife is expected to either get into the business world as well, or stay at home and raise their kids, while the father works himself to death (in Japan if you don't have a job and aren't working all the time, you're seen as a degenerate). They never have time for each other.

The new generation of Japan, more digital than ever, easily has access to the other nations cultures and tendencies with work, and every day lives, and it possibly appeals to them more than what they have at home. They're rejecting the things in place and saying "I'd rather be single and free than married and bogged down my whole life".

Anime/mobile dating games may play a hand in it, but the issue is far more pressing than just some entertainment medium. It's a cultural one down to the very core that Japan is struggling with.

not to mention the overexposure to sexual media desensitizes the youngins

Sexual content in both Japan, and Europe, is not nearly as big a deal as it is in the states, where we show violence to kids at the same age. Blood spewing everywhere, GTA, movies, shows, etc. It's flipped.

Luciana · December 08, 2016, 01:32:23 AM

Miyazaki was right. Anime is dead. I wonder how much he hates what the industry has devolved into. It's not at all surprising given the rise in popularity, but yeah.

That's enough posting for now in a row

so does all/most of anime produced today have sexual content involved

i'm talking about stuff that's a little less martial artsy or whatever. not like dragon ball or any of that shit.

i'm only thinking cuz i'm subiscribed to funimation on youtube and they're always posting these super sexualised video clips of the shows they produce and if you look up some of them they all have sexual scenes and shit. bikini warriors, in particular. i mean, the scenes they show are sexual, but only suggestive, really. but you can look up the uncenssored shit and its basiaclly porn. is this just common place in anime or what?

my exposure to anime is basically only naruto and dbz so this is really where my conceptions come from

There's a reason why I'm only keeping up with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, HxH, and Baki. Baki is a guilty pleasure thing, whereas Jojo and Hunter x Hunter are high quality mangas. The mainstream animes however, are bad when it comes to matters about sex and fanservice. No dignity.

Desty · December 08, 2016, 02:35:13 AM

I mean, where else are you gonna get a mangaka that gets it?

Spoiler

Just watch Gundam bra. Unicorn has an awesome style reminiscent of the original and I haven't seen any fan service yet.

well i think thats equally as big a problem

Zonda · December 08, 2016, 07:24:36 AM

Even the tamer anime have at least a little bit of lewd. At this point I'm thinking it's like a requirement of the genre or something.

Like Film Noir having a bleak storyline or Sitcoms being shit

The birth rate is low in Japan because they have small dicks.

They need people like me over there if you know what I'm saying

They need people with big dicks, not just big dicks... like you.

On top of 90% of anime being shit, 100% of the anime people enjoy on this website is shit.

Don't take recommendations from anyone.

But verb

I am the margin of error
