>Shitposting 'irony' wasn't really a thing back then (though it did take over /jp/ shortly afterwards). We really were just a bunch of dumb teens and young adults who pretended our social patheticness was something cool.
None of that is true. You, in your having come there in the later days and filled it with your blogposting garbage, looked down on yourself and posted about looking down on yourself because you're a fucking faggot and a loser and since you're so repulsive and there was an influx of your faggotry of course this kind of obnoxious blogposting quickly took over especially when any sort of thread actually about an otaku passion or pursuit was deleted and the genuine posters who were there before you quickly left for greener pastures.
You also very clearly don't know what 'irony' means. (As was already said) It's ironic that rozen maiden is a good manga and that /jp/ likes it because the metanarrative is seemingly counterpropaganda railing against core /jp/ values, yet of course it does depict and glorify core /jp/ values. This makes it ironic that people like it. There is explicit irony in how they like it. They like it ironically. That doesn't mean that they don't like it, and this was explained to you before and you still don't get it. Can you learn? You can't speak english? Are you a dog? Less? You're a miserable pile of bile and shit, and implying everyone else must be too and mindlessly waving on your favorite sportsball team because they're wearing the right colors. That's a metaphor. If you weren't such a faggot you could appreciate the art of the game, but apparently you can't, nor can you imagine that other people might do so either. I guess you don't even believe that such a thing exists. Kill yourself nigger.
>Fondness of the series itself was absolutely genuine
Yes. No shit, as was claimed. That doesn't preclude that it was ironic. As was explained. Kill yourself nigger. Nobody liked the message or the writing of welcome to the nhk, which is why trace of it in derivative culture exists. Yet the actual workmanship of e.g. the music was appreciated. Which is why it survived. The punchyness of the surviving line that's kept around is because of it's punchyness in the ENGLISH TRANSLATION. Nobody cares about welcome to the nhk or what it's trying to say or how it says it, because there's no merit or value there. Even you don't, you're just cheering because you think they're supporting the right color and you want to circlejerk about other things that are that color existing and not comment on their actual quality or content. Kill yourself nigger.
>didn't have to resort to 'ironically liking' things
How can you so persistently misunderstand the concept and usage of irony? Are you retarded? Kill yourself nigger.
>I figured you were talking about the first Rozen Maiden anime series
There is literally no reason to possibly think that. It's unambiguous from the comparison, and nobody cares about the animes except for where they expand on the aesthetics of the manga and the time. There's no connection in the writing at all. Kill yourself nigger.
> Comparing Welcome to the NHK to the Rozen Maiden manga isn't really a fair comparison, as NHK is based on a novel from 2002 while as far as I'm aware Rozen Maiden never really went too deep into those subjects in the original manga (at least not in the early parts) and the 'unwound' Rozen Maiden ran from 2008 to 2014 (i.e. it started way after even NHK's anime adaptation aired and didn't finish until 12 years after NHK's publication).
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? They're both works on the same concept. NHK has nothing to say that isn't said better by RM, as was stated. Kill yourself nigger.
>Even disregarding that, Welcome to the NHK is a down-to-earth realistic drama (discounting the obvious wish fulfilment aspects) made entertaining through comedy, whereas Rozen Maiden is a fantasy story.
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? They're still exploring the same concepts. Other than some literal contemporaneous political shitflinging, rozen maiden holistically encloses the same concepts. As was stated already. What's hard about this to understand? What is this nonsequitur here for? Kill yourself nigger.
>What are your impressions of this season, anon?
Why would I have impressions of a 'season'? Media is timeless and shares no connections. Keep your blogposting to yourself faggot, nobody wants to see it.
