After performing my patriotic duty and pokemon went to the polls (I hope you did too !germs, this is literally the most important election ever and our last chance to save democracy and its all depending on YOU), it is now time to deal with actually important things: the weekly anime post.
This week I didnt watch that much, some more Bakemonogatari, but I interrupted that with Chainsaw Man.
Bakemonogatari is still fine, gonna keep watching, and Chainsaw Man was alright too, even though it felt like it ended before much really happened. But since a movie is coming out (and hopefully a second season too), Im not to bothered by that. Plus Makima is based, if it wasnt for the elections I would have put some dommy mommy pic of her as the header picture. Another thing the EU ruined amiright fellow boomers?!?
Anyway, thats pretty much it for this week, gonna keep watching Bakemonogatari and thought about watching 'Corpse Princess', not sure yet tho.
@Aevann pin pls

That's copium. Normies aren't watching generic isekai shit. They like Demon Slayer or Warm Pissu. They show up for the latest Miyazaki flick. Otaku cringe is put on a later timeslot on television so that normies don't even view it by accident.
Lol, and that's people knee deep in culture war bullshit. You don't know how often I've seen weeboids whine about Tsundere comedy violence as "abuse"......on /a/.

You're 10 years out of date. Normies are watching Isekai shit because of SAO.
Yes, they've always liked shonen, now they also like isekai slop.
No, they really don't. Miyazaki is barely in zoomer weeb dialect outside of Spirited Away or Howl's.
And that is irrelevant to twitter cosplay thots and normie streamers having a verifiable melt down over this.

Demon Slayer grossed 500 million, The Boy and The Heron grossed 294 million. Which isekai slop do you reckon can pull these numbers?
Your definition of "normie" seems to be "somewhat popular" online.

SAO has. 30 million in print of the LN alone. Its US release got reprints in middle of preorder periods. Was the top selling Anime blue ray in all regions. The rest of the slop is just chasing the dragon, hoping the normies who started watching anime because of it will make another big hit.
No its people who's only interactions of anime and manga are limited to a handful of series, particularly hyper popular ones. So Cosplay thots who dress up as the game of the week slop dressing up suddenly as an anime character because it was incredibly popular.

And the highest grossing SAO movie is 38 million, lol. The most popular isekai of all time barely registers on actual pop culture.
That LN sales number becomes far less impressive when you realise there are 20+ volumes or whatever you call them.
Yeah, these are not normies. You're perennially online and you think anyone who isn't within you cubbyhole of a subculture is normie.

Are you r-slurred? Do you really think that the only way to make money is in movie sales? For a movie that didn't release in Europe, and had a two day release in the US? That's an impressive number for an anime movie. Merchandise still sells like hotcakes, and you can find it in Target and Walmart.
Ok, since I've actually bothered giving a definition of a normie what is it?
For thinking people who never interact with a subculture in any form outside of a few random moments of watching things that are super popular are normies?

The anime gets limited releases in USA and Europe because the distributers realise that there isn't much of a market there.
It got a release in China where this shit is supposed to be super popular, kek.
So the biggest isekai grossed 22 million in Japan, and 16+ million in China+other territories. And this makes you think the "genre" is now normie.
Yes, and I'll give you the actual definition of normie shit. Ever heard of "water cooler shows". Here's people discussing it in case you pretend you don't know what that is.

I can tell you not a single normie is discussing how badass kirito is or how cute Roxy is with their co-workers.

Again if you cut out the other things that make money? Did you Pokemon is one of the top earning franchises in existence? The near entirety of its money is not from the anime, is only partially from the games, and is mostly merch?
Your definition of Normie fits quite well with mine.
Normies absolutely talked about Kirito, this was shown on a mainstream television channel in the US. I had interns at work talking to me about it. You can, again, buy merch in mainstream retailers.

Pokemon also has proven to be a gigantic success across media in terms of tv viewership, boxoffice and vidya sales. Kids will buy merch if it looks cute even if they haven't watched the media.

Are you really just Stoicspersonal hole? Do you have opinions of your own?

I do!
I am only doing my job as a neutral observer. You're just not that good at arguing.

You've only commented after Stoic has been btfoed and refuse to answer if its ok or not to steal a 14 year old girl's panties.
And then have refused to answer it yourself. Is it ok to steal the panties or not?
