So, I'm sure plenty of you/close crowd of mine are well aware of this. There are threads up like about RWBY, Abandoned Internet Fiction, and even Tumblr/DeviantArt subject threads, and admittedly, even Chris Chan himself borderline falls in line with this topic. Plus, I sperg on and on about how the States doesn't have its own grassroots communes and industries like Japan regarding the massive inspirational wave of anime and video games that swept out west. So this place will help keep my autistic ass focused and away from derailing the everloving shit out of every other anime topic related thread out there (hopefully).
To begin, this topic is about anime stuff made outside of Japan, and its ever far reaching presence throughout the globe. Such impact of captivation, inspiration, and even on its assend of things, autism and obsession has swept all throughout the world, and nevertheless, with such influence, it also awakens motivation. This has led to many aspirants to try and make their own anime stuff, be it by art, literature, and other means, and it is something I would like to discuss and keep track of. Hey, everyone needs a hobby.
I'll start with my ever prevalent topic of "why the fuck has the west not been able to capture the same magic/pulse that anime and manga has since 2000." This is a constant question on my mind, because you'd think that with like sushi and karate and shit that it would be easy to sublimate elsewhere, and that like jazz and UK Rock/punk that it would also spread out and branch into its own unique flavor. But no, it's pretty rare, and despite shows like Avatar and Teen Titans getting massive hype, a vocal part of the community says that something is missing from them. Even with Netflix getting into the picture, the notes are still not hit.
As for everything else, go wild, it's free for all. Post up good to embarrassingly cringe fun bad manga webcomics and artwork. Bring up old stuff that in the back of our heads, we've all forgotten about. Link up and talk about games like Cosmic Star Heroine, Oni, and other indie games that want to capture this feel. "Bring your imaginations! And most of all, have fun". (fucking A breadtube, you don't have that clip from the 1994 Fantastic Four movie....)
