Everyone in this board should watch Angel Cop at least once in their lives. https://nyaa.si/view/1503205

Just finished Macross 7. The atmosphere was completely different from the original Macross. The original Macross I loved at the start and grew to feel mild irritation during the final season (the movie retained the important/good parts). Macross 7 was a completely different experience, one that I hated at first but grew to love as I continued watching it.

Sabagebu! Survival Game Club Is about a girl joining an airsoft club in school, it does not take itself seriously it is just fun.

Posting ITT to celebrate the fact that the retard who used to shit up every thread by whining about anime pictures ran away back to Reddit and is never coming back. Rest in piss you eternal newfag.

>>4336 Screenshots? That is funny.

Have some garbage from old 8/k/.

>>4340 >Piloting a plane and shooting other planes with rifles to destroy them

Any /aku/ recomendations?

>>4343 Ask /yuri/

>>4343 >>4344 There is no english speaking /yuri/ board on the internet though

>>4343 I can't think of anything that's not gachashit, but then I don't go out of my way to find yuri anime so I'm probably a bad source.

>>4343 ''El Cazador De La Bruja has an implied /aku/ resolution.

>>4343 There's Urasekai Picnic/Otherside Picnic. It is heavily influenced by the original Roadside Picnic novel and the STALKER movie/games, but with Japanese urban legends. Both the /ak/ and /u/ elements are there but not that front and center. Manga is better than the anime, haven't read the LN. Also, the original Ghost in the Shell manga has a bisexual Major so that might be worth checking out.

I started watching Armor Hunter Mellowlink it's pure AT rifle kino.

>>4343 Samurai Jack.

I finished Macross Frontier. Despite enjoying the original and loving Macross 7 by the end, Frontier managed to ride on the coattails of the two series without actually providing any substance. They didn't even listen to her song. I hated it. As a standalone Scifi it honestly wasn't bad, but it should not have called itself Macross.

Not really /k/-related, but Nagasarete Ariantou is pretty fucking good. Also one of the most original setups for a quasi-kinda-sorta-isekai type thing, to the point that I'm not even sure whether or not to call it an isekai. Basically, Mr. Audience Self-Insert gets shiprekt on an isolated, quasi-paranormal island whose culturally early-Meiji human population is entirely female after a storm swept away their men while they were fishing; lulz ensues. There's cute girls (the boy's pretty cute, too, but I get that that isn't everyone's thing), talking animals (though they don't seem to actually speak Japanese; it's more like the humans and other animals understand each other's speech while continuing to speak their own language), and yokai/kami. These last are the subject of a pretty entertaining running gag that I won't spoil for you. >>4347 >implied Nigga that's basically canon. Source: my ass (and the thoroughly rewatched box set on my shelf). But seriously, you'd have to be legit autistic not to see it; it's waaay more out in the open than in Noir, and while I was pretty shitfaced while watching Madlax, it was pretty much on par with Noir from what I recall. El Cazador's soundtrack is one of the best ever, too, IMO. Better even than Noir in my estimation. Speaking of soundtracks, if anyone here still hasn't seen Aldnoah Zero, drop what you're doing and go watch that shit right now. >>4348 This sounds pretty intriguing, I might have to give it a shot between the endless moe SoL and idol series (yes, I know I'm fucking cancerous; no, I don't care). >>4349 I'll check that out as well. >>4352 >They didn't even listen to her song. What did xir mean by this? I've seen, like, maybe two whole minutes of this franchise.

>>4353 The main thing that separates Macross from a run-of-the-mill mecha scifi anime is the idea that culture (more specifically otaku culture and song) can even bring different alien species together to end wars and prevail in the face of total galactic genocide. It's a franchise about mankind going out into the stars for survival and how culture lets them survive against insurmountable odds whether that be a warrior race of cultureless test tube babies or intergalactic Satanic forces from another dimension. Macross Frontier turns that idea on its head and focuses on humans using song to annihilate/genocide an enemy species of aliens, and only does a total asspull on the last episode to try and get back to the original meaning of the franchise in a half-assed roundabout way with more plot holes than sliced swiss singles.

>>4354 >first paragraph Sounds interesting desu fampai, I might look into it. >second paragraph Always a shame when the writers have a few too many rails like that. >>4343 Oh, and also check out Hidamari Sketch. Pretty good, rather unique SoL, and the thing between Sae and uhhhh... hang on... oh right, Hiro, is right up your alley. One thing about Sketch though, the dialogue moves quickly enough -- like, The West Wing quickly -- that I've seen normalfaggots complain that they can't keep up with the subtitles, so if you can't into speed-reading, you might find it slightly frustrating at times.

If I were to start trying to make an /ak/ vidya, what would you anons want to see?

>>4356 Well, for starters, it not being vaporware like every other chantard game project...

>>4356 Guns are animated to an autistic level and no cgi.

>>4356 Decide early on what the hell do you want with the game, and if you strike gold, then don't go full yanderedev. By the former I mean that you should decide if you want to focus on tactical stealth combat simulator 'tism, or if you want to tell a story, or if the game is just an excuse to ogle cute and sexy animu girls.

Just finished Urasekai Picnic. Breddy gud/10, thanks to Anon for recommending it. Something else I've been watching lately is Spy x Family; /k/ might like that one.

Sweet, merciful Hylia, what the fuck?

>>4362 It's an old meme but it checks out.

>>4362 Otaku culture is the new mainstream in the first world, hence first world pricing

>>4363 You're not kidding... >>4364 Giving normalfaggots internet access was the biggest mistake since feminism, if not Jewish infil- I mean immigration. I guess the good news is that they have the attention spans of crack-addled gnats and *should* move on to the next shiny new Current Thing before long. I just hope they don't enable the Jews to get their hooks into the anime industry itself.

Yuukoku no Moriarty ("Moriarty the Patriot") is pretty good so far. It puts a novel spin on Sherlockian fiction by, as the title suggests, making Moriarty the main character -- to the extent of not even introducing Holmes until like halfway through the first season. It's obvious that serious effort went into accuracy and detail, too. For instance, if you watch closely, you can tell that all the cigarettes are hand-rolled. It's definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of Doyle's. Also, pretty boys in Victorian garb, unf.

>>4366 Closeup of Holmes' weapon, a pretty well-done Beaumont-Adams, which would be roughly period-correct.

>>4362 Blu-ray hipster edition?

>>4368 I... yes? That is the """collector's edition""", if that's what you're asking.

>>4348 Speaking of Roadside Picnic... Darker than Black. Weird shit, grimdark supers action, Yakuza and some good ninjutsu. Also, near the end of the first series a big bunch of stupid ass kids with nasty powers (as opposed to being experienced commandos or hitmen even before getting those) were thrown as cannon fodder to delay proper heavy infantry. Which ended the way it should have. >>4369 I mean, is there anything in Speshul Edition Blu ray that was not priced like this?

lycoreco lycoreco

>>4352 >>4355 Macross was honestly pretty fucking stupid. Weren't the giant aliens supposed to be clones trained and condition for combat from the moment of conception? In that case there is no logical reason for them to be acting like swooning fangirls at some sort of bizarro world beetles concert, especially for cheesy crap like the chinese girl's songs that she probably didn't even write herself. If they ever heard anything by vivaldi or wagner they'd probably have a stroke. It would be like if the taliban or norks starting defecting to the united states en mass out of love for Taylor Swift and Christian Country Rock. I honestly would have liked it better as a run of the mill space opera, some of the mecha designs were cool I guess but I don't really see how this tripe is a classic.

>>4373 >It would be like if the taliban or norks starting defecting to the united states en mass out of love for Taylor Swift and Christian Country Rock Someone doesn't know their Afghan history. It was pretty common for culture to be the driving force bringing people out of the Soviet Union. South Korean culture is one of the primary reasons Norks defect which is why they've weaponized K-pop and soap operas. Strelok has probably never experienced culture shock, but it is very much real and can be more intense the more jarring the other culture is. Paris Syndrome is an extreme example of negative culture shock but positive culture shock exists as well.

Speaking of /ak/, the fourth season of Golden Kamuy has just started airing. It's about a veteran of the Russo-Japanese war teaming up with an Ainu girl to look for a stash of gold. The catch? The guide to the gold can only be found tattooed on the skins of some of Hokkaido's worst convicts. The anime and manga are both really good. You get action, bushcraft, period accurate weaponry, and a little bit of everything else.

>>4375 >FOURTH season is airing Shit I've still only watched the first two.

>>4359 desperately need the sauce on this one

>>4377 Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise

>>4378 aka. animation so ridiculously good it almost drove 2nd largest animation studio in the world (first being disney) to bankrupcy

>>4332 (OP) >What're you watching? Even if it's not necessarily /k/ related I'm interested Currently watching link-related. It's got plenty of funs too, so yea. https://alogs.space/robowaifu/res/82.html#17218

>>4379 I wish, Weimerica won't stop printing money, so all their garbage media will never die, it was never about merit.

>>4379 The objectively best 2D animation from a purely technical standpoint has to be Akira, I still cannot fathom how that movie was not only made but managed to turn a profit. The author of the manga served as the film's director and chief animator, if I recall correctly he drew some 5000+ keyframes over the course of six months.

>>4382 >I still cannot fathom how that movie was not only made It was a commemorative piece pushed through to mark the end of the japanese economic bubble. >but managed to turn a profit It came out before the bubble ended, and anyhow it's the single greatest work of animation that exists and probably will exist until such a time that japan's economy is in a state which allows for such lavish cross-industry collaboration. It's not like real animation is expensive, anyway. The cost to make akira (hiring multiple teams of artists, getting working seiyuus to prescore audio, etc.) hasn't changed so compared to cgshit with megastar actors selling their likeness it'd cost pennies.

>>4382 Redline is a strong contender >only key frames

>>4384 >contender It's truly unique. While not as 'deep' as that over-hyped piece, it's a far better movie overall. The artistry is frankly astounding, like watching the most mind-blowing mango arts made alive.

I’ve been looking for an anime/manga that’s a ‘what if’ exploration of a Japan with something akin to the Second Amendment. All I’m aware of is Burst Angel, but it’s more a crime thriller about fighting mercenary gangs, rather than about gun politics.

Didn't watch a lot of anime, but I liked Blue Gender ever since I saw it as a kid. What does /k/ think of it?

>>4387 I bought the dvds way back in the day, I liked the whole duality the two main characters had.

>>4370 >I mean, is there anything in Speshul Edition Blu ray that was not priced like this? There's always a premium of course but this is fucking excessive in my market. At least in my experience.

>>4387 I remember someone passionately writing about it in a forum when I was a wee lad, but then I forgot about it. Then it somehow came back to me, but I had no idea what is the title. Completely unrelated to this I checked out the teletext archive and learned that there was a channel here in the 2000s that was dedicated to anime. That was already quite a revelation, but what is even better is that I've read the descriptions stored in their teletext page and one of them matched what I remembered, and so that's how I've learned that the title of that particular anime is Blue Gender. So it's in my backlog now, and maybe I 'll report back if and when I finally watch it. By the way, here is the archive: https://archive.teletextarchaeologist.org/

>>4388 I remember it being the most violent thing I saw up till then. Kid me thought it was coolest shit ever. >>4390 >checkd >channel here in the 2000s that was dedicated to anime. I think there's a chance we had the same channel as I also watched it on a channel dedicated to anime. It's all blurry so I don't have much to go on, but I fondly remember Blue Gender . There was also another anime I like that I never got to learn the name ,I just vaguely remember a single scene from it.

https://inv.riverside.rocks/watch?v=EHPSVemk7e8&listen=false Looks like there is one more thing for my backlog, although it's more due to the animation than the operators operating. >>4391 >I think there's a chance we had the same channel as I also watched it on a channel dedicated to anime. Alas, we didn't have this particular channel at home, so I pretty much grew up watching Mythbusters on Discovery. The channel itself (alongside its successor) was also available at a few other countries, but the wiki doesn't say anything about Serbia in particular: https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%2B_(telev%C3%ADzi%C3%B3ad%C3%B3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animax_(Eastern_European_TV_channel)

>>4392 >analogue TV Boy, you just gave me some mad nostalgia

>>4387 Im watching it rn. Kinda feel mixed about it. I feel like had I watched it in my teens id feel more strongly about it, but as I am now its kinda just alright. Marlene doesnt really seem that desirable and the MC is all over the place. Just got to the part on Second Earth and it feels like its just dragging ass now and setting up a new paradigm when there arent to many episodes left

>>4392 You should give BG a go if you have some free time to burn, I remember liking it ,but like anon >>4394 said, maybe pre pubescent brain responds better to it, and I might have rose tinted glasses.

>>4392 >https://inv.riverside.rocks/watch?v=EHPSVemk7e8&listen=false What is this website? Bootleg youtube? I dont get it

>>4396 lol newfag

>>4394 It is solid up to the point where they get to Second Earth, after that it just goes downhill as a poor man's mix between Macross and Starship Troopers.

>>4398 I honestly think I like the english version better

bump

No mention of (Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri)?

Where are my fellow refugees?

>>12095 you're not alone, buddy.

>>12096 >2025 Sucks that this board is dead as fuck

>>12098 I'm not sure how that ">2025" ended up there.

Happy 4/16!

Hello, i like spas-12 from gfl, do u?

>>12156 love her

>>12157 very lovely image

yo sorry to be offtopic but where do i go if im a medieval/ renaissance armor autist

>>12160 idk

I miss old /ak/. Give it to me straight guys, what're the chances of 4chan coming back?

>>12219 hopefully never tbh

>>12219 >captcha fucked >backend is shitshow >filer parser libraris were source of initial vuln >they have to redo OS install >still need to update and restore database >make sure all of this has no hidden malware (they have been compromised for a year if leaks are to be believed) >whole staff is doxxed or soon to be doxxed >no one on staff with outstanding webdev skills Anon, it is fucking over. It took mangadex 10 months to recover from their DDOS and data breech. 4chan does not have the resources to unfuck this.

>>12225 It's so over... I hate normies but at the same time I dislike that this place is pretty dead. /k/ was all I used 4chan for

>>12225 RapeApe came out and claimed that they would have it back in 2 days. Then by the next day they said it would take 3 weeks. That being said, I honestly have no idea how it stays up. It makes no money.

>>4402 Been meaning to read the manga from the beginning, show is one of my favorites. For as meh as it is, misfit at magic highschool has been kinda nifty. Gun wand. Less /k/, but recently watched Shimoneta and binged the manga too... ero terrorism is certainly an interesting premise.

>>12272 More like "TBA" If he's the admin of a server that hasn't been updated in +10 years then it's obvious he has absolutely no clue or interest about the software/programming side.

>>12294 >>12272 Wouldn't it be much easier for hiro's merry band of retarded trannies to chuck out the m00t archeotech entirely and switch to something modern and open source with a yotsuba skin?

>>12335 Glad the fox made it

>>12316 Do you speak in notRetardo?

>>12340 Negatory

multiple files per post is going to take some getting used to.

Lardagus! I’m letting you know that we’re alive and well on /a/ in case you’re here :)

Fan art found on Steam for Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau. It is a pretty good and affordable 3rd person shooter.

Anyone know any other websites /ak/ survivors may have gone? I really hope i havent lost my favorite band of retards forever

>>12752 a few weebniggers have gone to smuglo but most have remained in 8ch, waiting for a general to pick up the pace

>>12762 8ch seems pretty cool, got alot of shit better than 4ch. If this place speeds up a little this looks like an upgrade if anything

>>12765 I like how we can actually post multiple files at once

>>12768 Yeah and having spoilers is pretty cool, never really got to use them on 4ch. Also massive image limit by the looks of things. We might be winning here

>>12095 Finally, I found you guys. I've been going between the couple threads holed up in Desuarchive and looking over the crowd camped out around the burning wreckage of the site in the Downdetector comment section (not that I'd use that because it requires making an account). >>12772 I'd consider it acceptable if we all found a place to go. I don't like how badly we're splintering.

>>12784 >I'd consider it acceptable if we all found a place to go. I don't like how badly we're splintering. Yeah, maybe im just retarded but it took me a while to actully find 8chan, i actually thought this place was dead/gone by the way people talked about it, i guess we just have to look around other chans and find other /ak/ hold outs :/

>>12784 >>12793 but here is way more comfy with mr skeltal

>>12793 Same. 4chan was the most accessible of the imageboards, ironic as it's not even listed on search engines anymore. Maybe common knowledge was too strong. Hard to have your secret club when everyone and their grandmas know about it. >i actually thought this place was dead/gone by the way people talked about it, Speaking of that, how do you get to actual 8chan? I tried 8kun.top but the only /k/ I found there was a message from years ago more or less stating that the board was dead and they were moving to another board they linked, and that link leads to a defunct site. Am I retarded and that wasn't the 8kun everyone talks about?

>>12798 that was the 8kun, i was over there looking for a home before i found this place

>>12799 So where are the /k/ommando refugees there then? 8kun's /k/ looked to be a long-burnt-out ruin.

>>12801 oh it is. as far as i could tell there were maybe 3 or 4 people that stopped by but after that it gradually went silent. a rather large number of people came here, on /gacha/ at least as they were asking for more jannies imo we are currently in a lost-in-the-woods type situation where the best course of action is to stay in one place. more will filter in as time goes. the ones that stay elsewhere is both unfortunate and a good thing (talking about the trash) truly unprecedented times we live in

>>12801 I went searching for them after the Ukraine war nutcases took over 4/k/, and I never found them. The last place I could trace them to was a chan called anon.cafe, but it'd been dead for a few years now, and I don't know where they went after that. There is an archived board called /shelter/ here that has some of their communications about where they would go next, but other than the ones who went to zzzchan I couldn't figure out where the rest went.

>>12798 >how do you get to actual 8chan? I stumbled apon allchans.org and that led me here

>>12798 8kun was the 'real" 8chan but they died a while ago

>>12803 >a rather large number of people came here So far this is the most of you I've found. Is this really the majority? >truly unprecedented times we live in Truly

>>12830 >Is this really the majority? There weren't many of us left in the end. It was mostly bots and shills. Let's hope those don't follow us here.

>>12830 I never thought this comic would hit me as hard as it does now.

>>12836 The boards list says there are 85 unique IDs active on /k/ right now. Even accounting for a few duplicates from people who have posted from a second computer or whatever, that's still probably most of 4/k/ that made it here. So many people were chased out over the years by one thing or another, and some of them might come join us in our new home. Some of the posts in the refugee thread indicate that might already be happening. I think this is a new beginning.

>>12835 I'm not sure what to think. On the one hand, 4chan was thrust so far into the public consciousness that, even though it was already long blacklisted by the search engines, people still came to see. /k/ wasn't the most active board, I'd have to bet most people were coming to /pol/ or /v/ or something, but they came to us as well. I came to you, once. And I'd like to say I was made all the better for it. Which leads me to the other hand, that they seemingly were flooding the board to ensure our culture would die with us. That any newfags who came wouldn't come to know /k/'s culture, but Ukraine crap and general NAFO spamming. They'd see the majority doing that, and either leave after seeing the insanity or join in for free, not realizing it was all artificial. You know the early days, when mosins were synonymous with /k/? When everyone on the board was younger, poorer? Nearing the end, seems that all of us had our collections going, but you never saw many new posters trying to get their guns. Some, but I don't recall many. We were already being starved of new posters to "carry on the torch". It would partly be great for spreading awareness of gun ownership, which the feds hate. But I guess I came to like our weird little culture, back when it was about mosins and SHTF and going innawoods and zergface. I don't want that to be gone or forgotten. With us holed up here, we can regroup, sure. But will anyone find us again? Sure, lessening the tide of newfags helps them shut up and learn, but will anyone come at all? >>12852 Wish I could change the site's theme though. Simple blue or black was good enough for me. This purple striped thing is kinda noisy.

>>12868 Never mind on the last part, just figured it out. New layout is confusing me.

>>12868 While the Ukraine war was definitely pushed by /pol/ posters it did leave me with an interesting impression on how /k/ had more or less morphed into (at least from what I saw) into a better source for most of the stuff happening in the war. /k/ at least to me proved to be more neutral on anything involving politics which made me love the place but kinda felt it was getting way too much political oriented over random policies than the war itself. Still fucking hate sharty though

>>12870 >Still fucking hate sharty though Yup. They recently added a /k/ board there, but it seems small. Anons wondering where the old guard went.

>>12871 Yeah I would stay clear of sharty. Those fuckers live off soyjak shit

>>12752 There’s a GuP thread on /a/

>>12876 I probably will for the most part. There was an interesting thread where they're just posting full episodes of early season Spongebob that I'm lurking. I kinda want to download them, but I'm not sure how to tell if there's any shit embedded into them.

>>12852 >>12868 We had such and outsized influence on gun culture, as faggy as that term is, as a whole. Many of our memes are staples of the wider world of shooters and many more of the ideas we came up with or carried on from earlier eras became mainstays among them as well. In many ways we were like the gun writers of the 50s and 60s, shaping the thoughts of shooters for years to come. And now for us to be reduced to this. This must be how the Eastern Romans felt.

>>12887 i saw someone jon youtube community posts recall my edit of the indian rifle image from wikipedia being highlighted in yellow arrows all the human shit piles and it made me giggle and sigh with nostalgia

>>12887 Oddly enough, that comparison is somewhat comforting. That in some way, we'll be remembered.

>>12868 >I came to you, once. And I'd like to say I was made all the better for it. We'll get new blood. Personally I found my way to /k/ after someone mentioned /k/ in a /tg/ thread in like 2012, so I'm hardly a /k/ oldfag myself. I was actually anti-gun for my first few months on /k/ and just lurked out of morbid fascination, and I don't even know when it clicked for me that I had become deeply in love with weapons of all sorts and no longer feared them. >they seemingly were flooding the board to ensure our culture would die with us. I will never forgive the ones who did that or the jannies who were clearly complicit in it. >any newfags who came wouldn't come to know /k/'s culture, but Ukraine crap and general NAFO spamming. It really hurt seeing that Norktard newfag fall for it, he had so much potential. I think some of the other newfags did follow us here, so we have to make sure to be firm with them and make sure they assimilate board culture properly without that fucking tumor. > When everyone on the board was younger When I turned 30 a few years ago I decided I was finally no longer too cool for Anime and sat down and watched the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi and Rozen Maiden. Getting older doesn't mean you can't enjoy things anymore or be cool, we can in fact get cooler still. A lot of our best /k/ommandos have been old, Oppenheimer was like 60 or something. >poorer Just don't be a judgemental asshole about being more established in life, if someone can only afford a hi-point then be happy for them for getting it. The gun in your hands is priceless, while the gun you don't have is worthless. >Some, but I don't recall many. I saw a lot of them being pushed towards buying guns they couldn't really afford or being ridiculed for not already having guns. >We were already being starved of new posters to "carry on the torch". We just weren't being fun or interesting anymore, so most new people didn't stick around. We're not being prevented from being fun anymore, so that'll change and new people will come, we don't have to proselytize or anything, we just need to be ourselves and be fun and not so welcoming that newfags don't feel they have to fit in. /k/ never advertised before, in fact we said "welcome to /k/, now git the fuck out". We just need to stretch out our creative muscles again and get to having fun, and word will spread whether we like it or not. >>12871 >They recently added a /k/ board there wonderful, I hope the shills go there instead of here. Maybe we should go there and shitpost to make it seem more alive to attract more shills. >>12887 >And now for us to be reduced to this. This must be how the Eastern Romans felt. <great, now we've gotten rid of the dead weight and the barbarians, let's have a more prosperous and stable empire than ever before srsly though we're pretty much all here and we're all more mature and experienced, but we still are capable of being cool and fun. This is not the beginning of the end, we just were freed of everything making the board bad.

>>12898 I like the optimism however I fully believe that spam will just come back in a couple of weeks

>>12898 I think you'll be right in the end. We will bounce back and be fun again, though I don't think our old level of influence will return, but that's fine. None of us were ever in it for that anyways. And besides, if we are the Eastern Romans, we still have great days ahead. >>12900 I don't. It had already started winding down by the beginning of this year.

>>12898 >Getting older doesn't mean you can't enjoy things anymore or be cool Of course, but you know, hurts not seeing that youthful vigor as much. Perhaps a dumb comparison, but I assume this is how it feels to grow old and not have any kids. All that knowledge and no one to pass it to or just impress. But, I guess I get what you're saying. Takes time. >wonderful, I hope the shills go there instead of here. Probably so. They have one thread celebrating the destruction of /k/ and there's a few war tourists there. Those might just be some brainwashed newfags though. But so far it seems like it's just the one. >Maybe we should go there and shitpost to make it seem more alive to attract more shills. Seems like they gained a few more threads and some generals. I'll probably lurk there a little more and see if anyone could use a push here. The right ones, of course. Also, they use the word raisins a lot. What's with that? In the context of "no one here gives a raisin about guns". Think it's a word filter, like we had for soy and whatnot? >great, now we've gotten rid of the dead weight and the barbarians, let's have a more prosperous and stable empire than ever before It's kinda funny you use them as an example considering the west recovered and became more prosperous as they stagnated after multiple raids from both ends. Actually I think we may have passed the East/West split period, considering we had 4chan and 4channel for a while. Maybe this is more akin to that time when the crusaders sacked Constantinople and brought all their gold, art, and skilled craftsmen to Venice. There's a Catholic church there attached to the Doge's palace which is made from parts stolen from both Eastern Orthodox churches in Constantinople as well as parts stolen from mosques.

>>12898 >>12906 Oh, and there was a post there on their /ak/ shitting on Yukari. Wonder where he went. Kinda wonder where all our resident nutjobs went really, like SS or even Soppedo.

>>12906 > celebrating the destruction of /k/ Link?

>>12906 >Think it's a word filter It is. They have a lot of them for some reason. I think raisin is shit. >Maybe this is more akin to that time when the crusaders sacked Constantinople In truth, our situation does remind me more of that era. You had the Latin Empire set up shop in Constantinople and the Roman remnants in Epirus, Trebizond, and Nicaea, each of which was hoping to be the one to oust the Latins and declare themself the true Eastern Roman Empire. I just figured less people knew about that when I made the original comparison. I reckon you could also compare us to the Diadochi as well and I suppose we'd be Egypt there since we stole all the oldfags like Ptolemy stole Alexander's body.

>>12900 Then let's prepare. Maybe a few of us should bite the bullet and find out how to become mods or jannies or whatever here, and we should make sure all the newfags who trickle in before the crapflood arrives know that the Ukraine shit wasn't organic and they shouldn't fall for it when the shills arrive. >>12904 > It had already started winding down by the beginning of this year. When that CEO was shot we saw how slow the shills are to react, and that was when they had a clear target and just had to divide and conquer. Now we're all split up and not entrenched in this chan, if things go to shit we can regroup in zzzchan or even try to revive operatorchan. Somebody should email the admin there and see if we can convince him to try and get it up within the next year just in case. Really though we're safe here as long as we remember rules 1 and 2. >>12906 >hurts not seeing that youthful vigor as much. Have you tried amphetemines? I recently got a prescription for adderall for the first time since high school and now I have energy like I did in high school. I can fap all day without a break! >see if anyone could use a push here. The right ones, of course. I had to resist telling the anons who went to 8kun that we're on the other 8chan. Those who should be here will find their way eventually, it isn't all that hard to find this place, and they'll know something is wrong until they find their way here. > I think we may have passed the East/West split period this board has been used by around 4 groups of /k/ splinter factions. I've been vaguely keeping an eye on it for years actually to try and find the lost tribes that were exiled by the destructions of anon.cafe and operatorchan. >>12918 What about the lost tribes of early exiles that we still can't find?

>>12930 >What about the lost tribes of early exiles that we still can't find? I guess they can be the Bactrians and Indo-Greeks if we keep the Diadochi comparison and the Empire of Trebizond for the 4th Crusade comparison since they continued on their own after Nicaea retook Constantinople.

>>12915 I went to it and now I'm not sure where it started or ended up. It was in the /k/ catalog, then seemingly moved to /pol/ when clicked on. I tried searching for it there in their catalog, but I got really sick of seeing men's assholes spammed. I've taken these screenshots to prove it was on /k/ at one point at least. https://www.soyjak.st/pol/thread/1090333.html The fact there are no American flags present probably says something. >>12918 Really, the entire 4th Crusade draws to mind some recent events. IIRC, the original destination was Alexandria in Egypt, but they ran out of money and the Pope was busy with Cathars and wouldn't give them any for a fleet. Got indebted to (((Venetians)) buying a fleet on loan and tried extorting the money to repay the debt from fellow Christians in the Balkans. This got them excommunicated until they PTFO, which the crusade's leaders hid from the rest of the men. Along the way, in their quest to repay their debts and finish the main story, a Greek dude appeared saying he was totally the true heir of the Byzantines and would repay them many times over if they helped him take the throne. After the sacking he emptied out the treasury and bolted, and the crusaders found out they'd been banned by the Pope and weren't happy, so they decided to just loot the city itself and leave. Very rough synopsis, but I can't help but find a parallel in the Greek guy and the guy who hacked 4chan. Not sure why exactly, so maybe I'm just imagining things.

>>12930 I’ll be completely honest the Ukraine stuff never bothered me that much. I always hated that I wanted to how the war was going I’d have to sift through shit flinging but other than that not too hard to ignore. Honestly should have made a warfare general when it first kicked off

>>12934 It even works down to the previous Byzantine rulers being the Angeloi, who were horrible emperors and hated by most everyone. Just like our old jannies. >Not sure why exactly, so maybe I'm just imagining things. I like making historical comparisons in my day to day life because they often give me an idea on how to proceed.

>>12934 >1090333 That's just the usual chug spam I've seen for years... And I call it chug spam because on 4chan my adblocker auto-hided most of those threads/posts because all of them contains a really limited lexicon. Feeding a crude attempt of flaming is foolish.

>>12935 >Honestly should have made a warfare general when it first kicked off I suggested they should do that early on and got banned. They accused me of being a Russian shill and said they had to flood the catalog so the Russians didn't. Ironic, considering they say Russians justify invasions in that same way.

>>12942 the /uhg/ spam was a lot more prevalent.

>>12950 Maybe it's a reaction to "raids" (flame trolling)... definitely not a "natural" situation when pic rel was the daily occurrence... "jewkraine", "the ukraine", "NAFO", "nato trannies" "nato tranny" "piggers", etc It's not even a competition, my main complain is with people falling for the obvious trolling. The fact jannies liked to escalate the situation and create even more retardation didn't help. >inb4 both sides I rarely was banned on /k/ even if I used to counter argue against US geopolitics, weaponry, etc. The usual ban was for r-insults and complaining about other anon falling for the obvious chinese-related baits. In general jannies ignored people that didn't use troll language but they were obviously jaded, even it was self-inflected.

PS. Posting some on-topic because this is anime /k/

>>12453 Lard isn't coming, anon. He's busy clutching his pearls and mourning the death of his beloved 4chan.

/ak/, /ak/ NEVER DIES we have offically out lived 4chan, TOTAL /ak/ VICTORY! Get fucked get doxed jannies HAHAHAHA

Caturday posting

>>12983 Oh yeah, we haven't been able to have a /k/aturday thread in the last 3 years, have we? Jannies kept banning them for off-topic once the Ukraine campers set up shop.

>>12953 >I rarely was banned on /k/ even if I used to counter argue against US geopolitics, weaponry, etc. I actually wasn't banned for things I saw people in the same threads get banned for, although I did sometimes get banned for things that were completely on topic and which I was being civil about. If you look into the leaked stuff about how jannies and mods operated, they clearly would stalk users over multiple boards if they didn't like them and would just plain have it in for some users. They also had private ban reasons in addition to the public reason they'd show for the ban. They didn't seem to have a way to easily review your old post history, but if they were seeing your IP on a lot of posts they didn't like, they'd find a pretext to request a ban on you.

>>12987 Wasn't it also common practice to privately set the ban reason as CP so other mods wouldn't unban you? Might've even happened to me once, I was banned for 3 months one time and all my appeals were auto-rejected.

>>12989 I doubt it, the private ban reasons weren't leaked afaik, but we know that if it was CP it was automatically reported to the FBI along with your IP. I can't remember where I saw this, but I remember seeing someone say that no ban appeal had been approved for years.

>>12989 Did you eventually get unbanned? >>12993 I managed to appeal a perma ban once

>>12995 Yeah, it was just 3 months. Wasn't even on /k/ if I recall, honestly. This was a long time ago though, the period leading up to the 2020 elections. I left the house and got a job I hated, became an alcoholic, got raped. Then I heard about January 6th and recalled some of what I'd posted that got me banned. May or may not have helped inspire that, I said something about people marching on Washington. I don't entirely recall, I was frustrated, depressed, and not entirely thinking straight and wanted to vent at something. But anyway, I eventaually quit the job and began posting again. Got another job as a night guard that I've been doing since. Not the same one for the last 5 years mind you, I've found new night guard spots a few times. It's about all I can do that doesn't feel fucking awful constantly.

>>12998 >got raped Anon you can not just post that and not elaborate

>>13001 Alright fine >22 >working at liquor store >shit sucks >hate job, hate life >boss and coworkers subtly bully me >go to various bars after work to drink >wasting most of my pay on shitty overpriced alcohol, desperate for someone to speak to that won't look at me in disgust >woman at bar approaches because we have the same drink, we talk >she's fat but I've stopped caring long ago >at one point she passed me a drink she'd already opened >no idea if anything was in it, but began to feel strange >eventually we swap numbers and kiss, admittedly it wasn't bad >she goes to leave and drags me with her, I was just going to go home >feet feel like lead now, only had a few drinks, practically leaning on her for support to stand >throws me in her car, manage to keep pants on but she's more interested in using my mouth >afterward she throws me out of her car and I manage to get to my car and rest >the next day she texts calling everything a drunken mistake and insults me, delete number I'm at least 90% sure she slipped something in the drink she gave me, or maybe in another of mine when I got up to use the bathroom. Maybe she didn't, but I wasn't drinking anything heavy enough to get me that fucked up.

>>13009 You got roofied my nigger

>>13012 Damn, and I thought I was just being a bitch. Probably the most pathetic part was me handwaving that part in the hopes I'd finally get gf, but apparently she wasn't even going to do that. I'm really glad I managed to keep my pants on, she gave me mononucleosis. God knows what would've happened otherwise. Had that ever since too, in a weak form. My throat smells like something died in it no matter how hard I brush and mouthwash, and it's miserable having to feel the mucus back there. I've tried seeing an ENT but he was zero help and suggested I eat only bread and water for the rest of my life. It certainly hasn't helped me in trying to make social connections either.

>>13009 >>13016 Damn. That sucks. Look on the bright side, at least you didn't get your asshole resized.

>>13016 Read up on tonsil stones and get a qtip. Mono fucking sucks though, man I'm sorry that happened

>>13017 I guess so. Could've been worse. Could've got an STD or knocked her up because no condom. In hindsight that may have been why she didn't really go for the pants. It still does hurt that that was my first kiss. >>13021 ENT did check those, said mine are very healthy. I'm positive it has something to do with mono since I've read it never actually goes away. Not sure what I can do to mitigate this other than always having mints and gum on hand and use them before I try to interact with people. Even then I don't know if it's fully masking it.

>>12989 i can confirm this as i got permabanned from 4ch not long before it exploded (lol get fucked janny) and the reason for my ban was pedophilia when all i did was defend someone posting a loli in a swimsuit in one post. i can't let this shit get to my head man, i get permabanned by some faggot mod and a week later all of them get doxxed and their faggy little powertrip site has a heart-attack, that can't be divine intervention, right?

>>13025 I also got banned shortly before the shutdown, but just the usual 3-day ban. I was arguing with some Euro that his country wasn't pulling its weight in NATO and that he was not entitled to my tax dollars. Pointed out that his country only had 3 Eurofighters. Banned for troll posting. That was new, usually it's either racism or off-topic. That usually would've been slapped with one or both. I got one ban where they did hit me with both somehow.

>>4341 "if it works dont fix it"

>>13009 Damn, shit like this is why ill never eat gash, god knows what bitches got up there

>>12887 It's been so long, what all hit the mainstream gun culture that actually came from /k/? I believe "tragic boating accident" is ours, and of course "Rifle is fine", but what else am I missing?

>>12914 Never left, what up >got banned last year >been lurking ever since

>>13074 >>12914 who the fuck is soppedo

>>13025 >the reason for my ban was pedophilia when all i did was defend someone posting a loli in a swimsuit in one post. I'm so glad the moralfags aren't going to follow us here. They were fucking insufferable. >that can't be divine intervention, right? naw, they were doing shit like that constantly for years, it was just coincidence.

>>13094 *HB

>>13075 Last year i went on a rant about the aoc because its a fake and gay modern thing and because only god and the girls father should decide when they can get married and get pregnant like in the based old times. People kept talking about me so i kept up the persona, eventually got banned and stopped posting because being banned sucks and i make other sop posters look bad. Really wish they called me Sopschizo, sopedo sounds really bad and is factually incorrect

>>13105 with a name like that i just assumed you were someone who spammed loli sops or something.

>>13105 Some people took to calling you Sophebe right? Also I guess you'd be the other SS, and we already had Springy. Well, new board new you. Any other epithet you'd prefer or are you gonna fade away? Sopfag, Soptard, Sopbro, Soperator?

The missile has no idea where it is

>>13242 Even if the name is a bird she should have nekomimis.

>>13242 the atamonica girls are so cute i want to keep them in my basement

>>13222 >Some people took to calling you Sophebe right? Yeah 1 guy, you still here dude? Im here 4evar, hiding in the shadows, posting drunken rants when you least expect them! Call me what ever you want, giving a shit about that is for tripfaggots

How many people are lurking this thread? Reply you fucks!

>>13571 present

>>13571 fuck off pedophile

>>13573 israelis in the thread?

flavors of /ak/

The site seems slow. Must be the increased traffic from all the refugees.

>>13624 try the .se domain, see if there's any improvement

>>13625 A little bit I guess. Allow me to contribute.

>>13571 Lurking. Came from 4cuck.

>>13460 NTA, but I'm the one who referred to you as SOPhebe. Your ban was the last straw that drove me on a final offensive the likes of which have never been seen. I became an OP of /ak/ to exact revenge, posting barely on-topic Idolm@ster lewds and eventually Mug cosplays [videoed]. Even resorted to posting her male friend in a Fern costume and that was the final /ak/ on half chan. After three years, I finally won and the jannies and mods got what they fucking deserved Was content to let this thread rot, but then I noticed you and your reference to me

>>13707 I really dont know how to feel about this. On one hand you where one of the only ones not calling me a pedophile, on the other you where shitting up /ak/, my favorite thread. You better cut that shit out now buddy.

>>13865 he did mention he's gonna leave this thread alone

>>13893 He said he'd let this thread rot i.e die. /ak/ will NEVER die! I love you guys, as long as im breathing this thread will LIVE! /ak/ NEVER DIES!!!!

SPRINGFIELD! WHERE ARE YOU SPRINGFIELD!? YOU WHERE MY DUDE! MY BRO! PLEASE TELL ME YOU MADE IT!!!

i actually haven't visited /ak/ since last year and went looking to see if you guys survived when i heard of the hackening do storytimes/scanlations still happen?

>>13865 >cut that shit out The Idolm@ster lewds or Mug cosplay? >>13898 Indeed, I accepted that /ak/ would never die and asked only that the Sun set on it for once (1). With this finally happening, I no longer have a reason to aggress

>>13900 You know, I kinda wonder if him being in the Chair Force wasn't a subtle tip-off that he was a fed assigned to monitor us the whole time. Now THAT would have been a plot twist, moreso than the fake Indian bride.

>>13904 There was a big translation scan dump shortly before the hack, actually.

>>14003 If the wood is cold, the zero wont hold

>>13954 The indian bride was fake? I guess that's a relief?

>>13065 Glowies, being the normie version of “glownigger” (granted, that was probably more of a /pol/ term) “Electric boogaloo” when that was still relevant Honestly can’t think of much else. We lost relevance after the war started and just kinda went downhill from there.

>>13984 that's good to hear hopefully the scanlators find their way here if they got a site, somebody could get the word out to them testing file size and spoiler

>>14094 >can’t think of much else Peter Parker with an ATF cap

>>14094 Glownigger was a/pol/ term. But /k/ adapted it pretty quickly.

>>13707 That's a MAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNANN THAT'S A MAAAAAAN THAT'S A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON!!! 4chan might be gone but I'm not, niggaaaaaaaa!

>>14241 Glownigger is from /g/, coined by Terry Davis.

>>14261 Mug is female

>>14318 Goddamn she got fat

>>14078 Yeah, he spent like half a year essentially making shit up about a nonexistent woman before revealing he was just fucking with us the entire time. Before the site died, he was hinting at a real woman, but I don't think he revealed anything, and we really don't have a reason to believe him considering he spent months making up the pajeeta.

>>14335 Yep, she was gaining weight even before the supposed pregnancy

>>14362 >>14318 I geuss this is as good a place as any to ask. Did flandre actually troon out and then die in a car crash or w/e?

>>14382 >Did flandre actually troon out Yes >hen die in a car crash No

>>13984 >>14099 God I miss Lard I just want the old /ak/ back those soyu fuckers can have the rest of the website just give me back my /ak/

>>14099 This is taking actually fuckin 20 minutes to load holy shit

>>14508 small hobby site purease understando

>>14506 doesn't he have an email for scanlation requests/suggestions? just call him over

man this sit e runs like ass in comparison to 4chan anyone know of a way to slim this shit down?

>>14506 Lard's not coming, anon.

>>14506 Lard's not coming, anon.

>>14529 Usually runs better for me when I use .se instead of .moe

>>14506 >>14575 Bawhahaha, this is more schadenfreude than I ever dreamed of >>14658 >.se instead of .moe The page wont even load at all for me under that domain

>>14661 This might be why. https://x.com/8chan_se/status/1915086409309765797?t=72Z4m20kSECBaG9Sb8sqtQ&s=19

>>14662 >Poland, Ukraine and Romania So the rumors were true, PL-UA-RU spammers really are party of a conspiracy to kill every chan besides Bunkertrannies

>>14576 >>14575 extremely sad, but understandable hopefully 4chan comes back and we can all return home but I fear that isn't going to happen

>>14804 >see you soon! >https://www.4chan.org/ we may get to go home sooner than expected but because of this event we will be permanently fractured some will not return

>>14806 Given the size of their team, what is known about their skill levels, and the amount of work that needs to be done, I'd say that "soon" is probably only on geologic timescales.

>>14529 Site is straining with increased traffic.

4chan /ak/ got kidnapped to /testing/

>>14951 Is there any way to go there, or are we all locked out until it's released, if ever?

>>14951 You thought /ak/ would never face retribution?

>>12870 /k was anti-russian because of russian behavior over time. All the cool parts of the Soviet Machine weren't really russian anyway. But politically it seemed historical justification was moderate. 4/k had THE best news and vids on any war or live shooting. Except /b during san bernadino.

>>12405 Yeah, it's nice.
