But for real, RX-93 Nu Gundam Custom Pls

Trojita · Oct 17, 2018

Puck Beaverton · Oct 17, 2018

"I want to get into the weapons business" is something only trash humans cheer.

This like the Obama Sonic meme stuff, only it's actually happening

chainlinkspiral · Oct 17, 2018

I blame(thank) Netflix for the mainstreaming of anime. We all win.

Van Bur3n · Oct 17, 2018

Goddamn weebs coming out of the woodworks and normalizing anime.

AcademicSaucer · Oct 17, 2018

Pretty much what Puck Beaverton said, let's not get it twisted and act like anime was always treated like the coolest thing. 90s and 00s anime pretty much stayed underground or unknown unless it was on Toonami. Even then, people considered Naruto fans to be otaku nerds and didn't want to associate with them. This is the era were being nerdy and weird is considered cool and being a 'regular' person is boring, and it's represented all the way to rappers, businessmen, and athletes now.

What is your dream mecha you'd want to see flying through your city's streets?

I like having a city, so none of them.

But if you're asking which one I'd like to see stomping all over Kansas, Big-O.

Which is weird, because atleast from what I remember anime was more normal in the 90s now there is way too much creepy shit

Also Make Patlabor real, best mecha designs IMO

Kapryov · Oct 17, 2018

Isn't Your Name super mainstream?

Edit: to clarify, I mean like Ghibli-style mainstream. Many non-anime fans would've also seen and loved it.

effingvic · Oct 17, 2018

Go away Elon

Playco Armboy · Oct 17, 2018

Ghibli and Your Name are some of the most mainstream anime you can like, Elon isn't a weeb for this lmao

Puck Beaverton · Oct 17, 2018

We need to deplatform these fucking weebs from normalizing anime

Dude posts here doesn't he?

hydrophilic attack · Oct 17, 2018

lol of course elon is a weeb

ry-dog · Oct 17, 2018

Your Name was the film that convinced me that anime is cheesy, nonsensical garbage and Miyazaki is an outlier. It's considered to be one of the better examples of mainstream anime too

I have long suspected Elon Musk of being a Gundam villain.

Are there really villains though? Spacenoids just wanted independence from Earth but earth was like nah.

RY-DOG uses an overhyped movie to PROVE ALL ANIME is SHIT, DESTROYS all 55 years of anime HISTORY with LOGIC and FACTS (2018) (REKT COMPILATION)

Woolley · Oct 17, 2018

I guess he really is a horrible person. I only suspected as such but now I think it's confirmed.

Kaz Mk II · Oct 17, 2018

Dude just shot up in my mind.

I wonder if he's ever Built a gunpla.

I hope he and his company brings us toward the Universal Century within our lifetimes.

This is a weird feeling.

For a second, I actually had the urge to not like anime because of this.

Because of this?

I think there's already plenty of reasons to not like anime, although the films he references are actually high quality.

Rendering... · Oct 17, 2018

Luckily he named some great anime.

Unless he knows enough to name drop respectable anime so his interest doesn't seem weird. Uh-oh!

Most of Era hates anime from my experience.
