Why is anime getting more and more cliche each year?
Why is anime getting more and more cliche each year?
Since 60's you meant?
because you watch shitty anime
it's a law of nature. everything is getting more and more cliche, as we speak, until there will be only zorg and the singularity. the end.
Stop watching anime.
What's hotter, Ruby watching you and Dia or Dia watching you and Wooby?
I gotta be honest, the idea of NTRing Dia with her sister is real appealing to me. I think it comes down to Ruby's purity.
Traumatized Ruby > Really angry nee-san.
Cause you're getting older and more jaded as time goes by.
I'd pound Dia over a desk as Ruby watches screaming to the latter how it was all her fault this was happening.
Ruby would just be embarrassed and uncomfortable around you two
Dia would literally hunt you down and murder you
>mole
gross
What did she mean by this?
What do you mean?
Because you watch too much anime.
You're just getting better at noticing the patterns.
You and Dia with Ruby watching. I'm an older brother so I know the desire to appear mature and reasonable is always at the back of one's mind. Destroying Dia's image as a responsible and mature onee-san by fucking her in front of her little sister is incredibly arousing.
Adorno was right, even if he would hate anime itself
the more anime gets made the more trends emerge the more those trends are noticed the more people knowingly decide to either subscribe or avoid the trends which in turn become trends
Consumerism =/= Capitalism
autism
They are not the same, but one leads directly to the other. The only way to pretend otherwise is to accuse the joos of doing it to destroy western civilisation or whatever.
He's right but my brain is already like mashed potatoes from watching anime so it's not like I can stop. It's less like watching "real" television and more like watching porn for your soul.
What's your solution then?
I would think that Adorno would have much more problems with western media. Western Capitalism has fully assimilated the resistance towards it. Western brands and media sell their customers a simulacrum of revolutionary activity. If you watch Star Wars you can support feminism, if you play TLOU2 you can support LGBT+ endeavours - it goes as far even as non-consumption being associated with counter-revolutionary activity. Why would one not buy at Starbucks after they've openly supported BLM, why would one not buy a PS5 after Sony spoke out so loudly in favour of gay rights - clearly, it must be some crypto-nazi. Japanese media are actually far behind the curve. They are openly consumerist, selling their customers a product rather than an identity.
>clearly, it must be some crypto-nazi
You're saying it sarcastically as though all manner of dorks and reactionaries don't view not buying video games as resistance to "consooming" as some would put it.
>Japanese media are actually far behind the curve.
It is absolutely not behind the curve. We may not see the political aspect of this (maybe it doesn't exist) but we can absolutely see the same dynamics in play in "otaku culture". Consider for example anything and everything that involves idols.
>keeps watching more of something
>why am I starting to recognize the tropes and cliches!
anime is not profitable, so the only make to break even is to base it off something already popular: LNs or mangos
people who didn't otherwise know about source think they can do the premise better, or try to shamelessly rip it, or write non-professional fiction
sufficiently big imitations get adapted
tl;dr feedback loop of uninspired anime LNs
>all manner of dorks and reactionaries don't view not buying video games as resistance to "consooming"
The fact alone that consumption or non-consumption became integrated into the political sphere proves what I said. Corporations have managed to associate their brands with the political and consumption is identity forming. But it is only a simulacrum of resistance as it takes place within the liberal order, it is not a truly subversive act.
>Consider for example anything and everything that involves idols.
I view the idol industry as a Japanese equivalent to pro-wrestling. People are sold an ideal of femininity which everyone knows is not true but nobody is allowed to mention it in order to not alienate the fraction of the audience which lacks the intellect to realise that it's all fake. However, I don't think the idol industry is similar to western corporations. They sell people a distinct product that does not delve into the realm of the political. Certainly, you may argue that anything that does not subvert the system affirms it and is thereby political, which I do not doubt, but it still has a different quality, as it does not actively seek to associate itself with political identity and root its own consumption within the political sphere.
Because you only watch seasonal shit.
japanese people are creatively bankrupt
take the manhwa pill already
