>>3845359I follow the main twitters so I knew about all these things, yet still didn't think to bring them up when anon claims the franchise is dead. I guess I thought people would just know. Here's a look at what one of the recent myu concert set ups looked like:

It really is down to the English speaking fanbase leaving, either here or the fandom in general. We've had no new subs, no manga licenses, one musical that was a very hard sell I can tell you ("it's free and has english subs please try it", "but that's too difficult" - literally everyone I sent the link to even the ones who played on eng server), and the whole "Japanese streaming platform starts blocking foreigners from giving them money" nonsense. It's hard to keep people from wandering to greener pastures in the west, especially in the age of on-the-day subtitles for seasonal anime. Touken Ranbu just lacks the content for anyone unwilling to sit through unsubbed content, scour the photography of other fans on social media, or jump through a hundred expensive hoops to put a catboy keyring on their wall. Why do all that when Popular Thing is everywhere in every US con and actively receives English language material? And in 4chan's case, why make original content in some backwater anus of a board when the rest of the net exists? Even /a/ suffers from the dispersal of its users.
>that one anon who always got irritated when we all talkedHaving tried venturing around /cm/ for series that were unbearable elsewhere, I can't tell if I've encountered them on other threads or if that's just something that's part of /cm/'s teeny scrap of board culture. There's always some arsehole who polices what you can enjoy and will get pissed off if you write a full paragraph of three fucking sentences.
PS. CDjapan had a wanpaku Kashuu going cheap last night if he's still there.
