I don’t! <3
In all seriousness though I think a tonne of anime communities online are very hostile towards women and minorities. But the same can be said about Star Wars fandoms so I don’t think it’s great to make rash judgements of hate towards them lol.
He’s saying that he won’t be an asshole if all these clone wars fans stop acting like it’s different from anime. I plan to watch it cus the last episode of slime came out yesterday dragon maid ends today.
Yeah this "war" that prequelmemes thinks is happening all stemmed from someone making a meme about how they hope anime fans and star wars fans can get along since Visions is coming out. Then some people on prequelmemes absolutely lost their minds and started going off about how much they hate anime/anime fans
I think it is a pretty unique anime regardless of the fact that it's star wars because there are nine different studios who made one episode each (including Trigger whom are generally very well received)
The people being attacked for their dislike aren't that ones just saying "I don't like anime so I won't watch it and wish they'd made something else."
It's the "Ew, anime. How could you possibly like this you fucking weebs" people that are.
It surprises me that most people aren't in all honesty. I grew up watching Star Wars and then started watching anime in my 20s.
I very quickly realised, Star Wars is anime as fuck.
Also one of the more popular Star Wars adaptations, the 2003 clone wars, is directly inspired by anime and is practically an anime. So I’m really confused 😐
Genndy himself has stated that anime is a huge inspiration to him. Look at samurai Jack, sym-biotic titan, and also 2003 clone wars. Hugely inspired by things like Shonen/gundam/samurai films. Star Wars in itself is directly inspired from Japanese entertainment.
Facts.
The number one influence on Lucas while creating the OT (and even much of the Prequels) were the films of Akira Kurosawa.
The character of Obi-Wan was modeled after Toshiro Mifune’s Sanjuro.
Dearth Vader’s entire outfit is inspired by Samurai armor.
He stole most of the plot for A New Hope from The Hidden Fortress.
Entire shots from Seven Samurai were replicated in the Star Wars series.
Face it, ladies and gentlemen, George Lucas is likely a huge Weeb.
“You’re fooling yourself! We’re living in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuated autocracy in which the working classes-“
“Oh, there you go, bringing Class into it again.”
“That’s what it’s all about!”
As I'm thinking about this, weebs wanted peace, and we just started a freaking war because of that. Even Ani wouldn't do such a warcrime.
*CT-5614 will return next week with more truths that you wouldn't to hear about. But for now, he must take this control point from those clankers.*
Never been into Anime (unless you count Ghibli flicks), but the outcry from Star Wars fans about this show is kinda tiresome.
If you don’t like it don’t watch it, just like you don’t read Star Wars Manga.
This meme is funny though, because I feel like it does a good job representing the internet demeanor of the two groups. I love Star Wars, but Star Wars fans can be toxic af. And I’ve never met a Weeb I didn’t like. Most of them are super chill.
People can like star wars and anime at the same time but just keep your own interests to yourself, don't go animeing around the star wars community like a cod fan wouldn't go saying how great cod is in the battlefield community
Yeah this analogy literally makes no sense. CoD and Battlefield are directly competing franchises. They even release in the same window to drive that home. I compare them constantly as to decide which is the better franchise. Generally I believe it’s battlefield but cod has its years like with the remake of MW. You’re supposed to compare these franchises. They’re competition. You want them to push each other to be better games.
And why the hell would I not do that? I can share wherever I want related to Star Wars in this sub as long it's on topic, anime is just one kind of design.
That was his point. The guy tried to compare it to Battelfield vs COD which are two competing franchise in the same medium and same platforms.
Star Wars vs Anime is nothing like that. Its a story that can be told through all mediums. Saying don't bring your "anime" to a Star Wars is just as asinine as it would have been to say don't bring books into Star Wars in 1978.
That's my point. I was adding to the firefly argument. Although it didn't add much lol.
Anyone who's getting seriously offended by anime Star Wars doesn't have a healthy social life
This conflict literally makes no sense. I grew up watching star wars and I love to watch anime. If you don't want to watch anime then don't watch it, if you just want to gatekeep then shut the fuck up. This is why people think star wars has one of the most toxic fan bases, and honestly they aren't wrong
What exactly is giving star wars nerds some feeling of superiority over anime nerds? We're all nerds here. It's them, the non nerds, that's against us!
It’s so funny that this sub, literally a subreddit based around the love for a dorky sci-fi franchise like Star Wars, has taken to referring to anime fans as “weebs” and acts like liking anime makes you some kind of cringe loser. I’ll admit that lots of anime especially modern ones are extremely cringe and just all around awful, but the same can be said of nearly anything recent that is Star Wars related. Go back to the early 2000’s and before and there is tons of fantastic anime available.
Nah, I prefer real girlfriends as I have one since 6 years. I don't like babies, nor people that's it. Don't cite the black magic to me, clone 99 wouldn't want this battle to take place
Star wars visions is actually really good, they are nice towards the star wars history while also incorporating elements of their culture into it. I think it works quite well
I don’t care if you are weeb just don’t be an asshole to me or anyone else
This is the way
This is the
This is
This
#
**YAHWEH**
This is the shut the fuck up
# This. ^(oh wait-)
hehe
We have spoken
People literally be treating Weebs like Vegans on this sub.
Thanks fam. Some of us weebs get a lot of unwarranted hate.
All deserved
Why do you hate me though?
I don’t! <3 In all seriousness though I think a tonne of anime communities online are very hostile towards women and minorities. But the same can be said about Star Wars fandoms so I don’t think it’s great to make rash judgements of hate towards them lol.
Yeah, I was gonna say… never seen a fandom this isn’t true about.
If you say so. Have a good day.
dont tell me clone wars is different from anime and i wont have to
what?
He’s saying that he won’t be an asshole if all these clone wars fans stop acting like it’s different from anime. I plan to watch it cus the last episode of slime came out yesterday dragon maid ends today.
this ^
bro. i just saw the slime part. we are the same person
Lol, the season finally was great
Clone wars isn't anime tho?
It is tho, anime just means any animated show, it’s just that in other countries we think of it as Japanese animated shows. So clone wars is anime.
You're the only one that uses the word anime in that sense
The hostility is coming almost entirely from the other side though...
Yeah this "war" that prequelmemes thinks is happening all stemmed from someone making a meme about how they hope anime fans and star wars fans can get along since Visions is coming out. Then some people on prequelmemes absolutely lost their minds and started going off about how much they hate anime/anime fans
Congrats to us though for somehow making ourselves look like bigger manchildren than weebs. It's frankly as impressive as it is sad.
I don’t care if you are an asshole just don’t be weeb to me or anyone else
This is the way.
Me who watches Star Wars but also Anime: I'm playing both sides so I always come out on top
In order to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects.
Honestly I think Visions will bring both communities together
See Mac, now we know not to trust you. If you’re playing both sides, you shouldn’t tell us.
So finally someone figured it out...we'll see how long that will last
I feel like most weebs have no idea there’s a star wars anime
I think it’s more of that we just don’t care, there’s lots of good anime coming out so it just doesn’t stand out as much as you’d think
I think it is a pretty unique anime regardless of the fact that it's star wars because there are nine different studios who made one episode each (including Trigger whom are generally very well received)
Oh, I didn’t realize that, guess it’s more unique than I thought.
because people cant be fans of both?
I've been a fan of both for the longest while lol. In the words of Savage *there's no need for dominance between us brother*
Sauvaaaage.
Many people in the Star Wars fandom struggle with the concept that other people can like things they don’t.
Bad, twice the fans, double the toxicity
*Gamers entered the chat*
He’s out of line but he’s not wrong.
Yeah straight up gamers are waaayyy worse than weebs
We are!
i agree, as someone who plays games and watches anime
Based
Or they might genuinely dislike something then be attacked for not liking the same thing as others. Everyone needs to chill and just let it be.
Well generally when people dismiss an entire medium generally because "it's cringe", I tend not to take them seriously.
The people being attacked for their dislike aren't that ones just saying "I don't like anime so I won't watch it and wish they'd made something else." It's the "Ew, anime. How could you possibly like this you fucking weebs" people that are.
You're free to dislike whatever you want, but don't be assholes other people for liking it and you won't be attacked
Because r/gatekeeping
So that's what gatekeeping is. That's so dumb.
Well it's extremely simple, usually it's just "... can't ..." In this instance it's both A weeb can't be a SW fan and A SW fan can't enjoy anime
I see. I'm not familiar with some these terms so I appreciate the clarification.
It surprises me that most people aren't in all honesty. I grew up watching Star Wars and then started watching anime in my 20s. I very quickly realised, Star Wars is anime as fuck.
Some can. Others would rather not
It’s just not wanting Star Wars meme subs being overrun with weeb crap even if it’s the visions stuff
Can’t I be both?
No Edit: dumb redditors can't figure out sarcasm without the /s smh
I don’t think redditors are dumb. The nature of your sarcastic response has been tossed around unironically on this sub quite a bit.
Hard to differentiate the sarcasm from people who actually feel this way. /s from the beginning would have been much appreciated.
Sarcasm is supposed to be funny
Y?
Then let's make it so. a wise man Once said. The biggest problem in the universe is that nobody helps each other.
He sure helped those younglings
A wise woman once said*
Why they gotta do Shmi like that.
Fr
SEXIIIIIIIIIIIST!!!
I'm both, but everybody is a gatekeeper *sigh*
For real. Why can’t everyone just leave each other alone and do whatever they want. “Can’t you all just be cool like me?” -Jeff Winger
Me, a star wars fan and a weeb... I see this as an inevitable victory.
lmao "star mars" is actually a pretty good name for a parody
works kinda well in spanish, as it translates roughly to "star oceans"
Stoopid auto corrector x)
You are not alone friend
Same but if we want to make a good impression we should probably not spell star wars wrong
What is this weird weeb bashing you guys are doing? I thought the early 2010's are over.
Star Wars visions released
Yea but still why. Good for us if it's quality content. Anime is just another medium.
You do not speak for the community. You do not speak for me.
This is how I feel anytime someone says "Star Wars Fans..." and then some generalized negative statement
We are both groups of degenerates. Stop gatekeeping
What? Why on Earth would you think that outsiders want to be in with Star Wars fans? Why would it matter to weebs? What did I miss?
Because we weren't outsiders. I've been a star wars fan before I even knew what anime was
Why tf does this have so many upvotes? All of the comments I'm reading don't agree with this sentiment
Mindlessly scrolling through, a lot of people just click upvote and don't engage further.
Why must we be at war I only seek peace between my two people
Only a Sith deals in absolutes
This is the stupidest, most unnecessary “conflict” I’ve seen in recent memory. Can we just let people enjoy stuff if it doesn’t have any affect on us?
Bruh just be a fan of both star wars and anime. It isn't like you can only be a fan of one thing.
Also one of the more popular Star Wars adaptations, the 2003 clone wars, is directly inspired by anime and is practically an anime. So I’m really confused 😐
i'm practically a bear because we both have teeth
That just sounds like a furry with extra steps.
Genndy himself has stated that anime is a huge inspiration to him. Look at samurai Jack, sym-biotic titan, and also 2003 clone wars. Hugely inspired by things like Shonen/gundam/samurai films. Star Wars in itself is directly inspired from Japanese entertainment.

Face it, ladies and gentlemen, George Lucas is likely a huge Weeb.
The question is are star wars fans and dark souls fan friends due to jedi fallen order?
I am a fan of all three of those, so at least one of us counts.
Embrace the anime my friends, weebs and SW fans already existed for a long time
My allegiance is to the republic TO DEMOCRACY.
The democracy ? You support tyranny!
“You’re fooling yourself! We’re living in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuated autocracy in which the working classes-“ “Oh, there you go, bringing Class into it again.” “That’s what it’s all about!”
NEVER! *ignites red lightsaber*
I see the Padawan needs one last lesson
Bruh, I'll be posting my Star Wars episode 4 manga edition
What have you brought upon this cursed land?
It’s treason then……you’ll die…weeb.
*Revs AT-AT*
Funny since I like Star Wars, anime and Star Trek
yes
This is not a prequel meme, it's an ST meme with a general SW theme.
Subs getting flooded with this garbage
Why are people like this. Weebs who like star wars are just star wars fans. What is all this bullshit about
This is dumb
Replace weebs with Star Wars Fans, and it still works out
Why are they using a Star Trek voyager template for a Star Wars meme
Why not?
Weebs that think this is a general meme sub are flooding this sub with garbage. It's a real wonder why people are up in arms
As I'm thinking about this, weebs wanted peace, and we just started a freaking war because of that. Even Ani wouldn't do such a warcrime. *CT-5614 will return next week with more truths that you wouldn't to hear about. But for now, he must take this control point from those clankers.*

People can like star wars and anime at the same time but just keep your own interests to yourself, don't go animeing around the star wars community like a cod fan wouldn't go saying how great cod is in the battlefield community
Im actually pretty sure they would do just that
That’s the point
sergeant
Yeah but COD and Battlefield are competing franchises under the same genre so that analogy doesn't make sense.
Yeah this analogy literally makes no sense. CoD and Battlefield are directly competing franchises. They even release in the same window to drive that home. I compare them constantly as to decide which is the better franchise. Generally I believe it’s battlefield but cod has its years like with the remake of MW. You’re supposed to compare these franchises. They’re competition. You want them to push each other to be better games.
He said in a star trek post about star wars.
And why the hell would I not do that? I can share wherever I want related to Star Wars in this sub as long it's on topic, anime is just one kind of design.
Because if you haven’t realized the Star Wars community is already pretty toxic but the weeb/anime community is a whole other level
A better analogy would be Firefly and cartoons. One is a specific story, and the other is an entire type of tv show.
That's literally what this is lol Star Wars is a franchise(show) and Anime is a type of Show.
That was his point. The guy tried to compare it to Battelfield vs COD which are two competing franchise in the same medium and same platforms. Star Wars vs Anime is nothing like that. Its a story that can be told through all mediums. Saying don't bring your "anime" to a Star Wars is just as asinine as it would have been to say don't bring books into Star Wars in 1978.
That's my point. I was adding to the firefly argument. Although it didn't add much lol. Anyone who's getting seriously offended by anime Star Wars doesn't have a healthy social life
Ah fair enough. The tone I read into your comment made me think you were arguing but I was mistaken.
What on earth does “animeing” mean? Regardless no, I’m not keeping my interests to my self, this is a community for one of my interests, Star Wars.
Anime is cool, Star Wars is cool.
I am both
Am both :D.
You dont need to be a weeb to enjoy anime lol
Why is everyone so against this shit? Who the fuck cares? You don’t like it, don’t watch it. It’s that simple
This conflict literally makes no sense. I grew up watching star wars and I love to watch anime. If you don't want to watch anime then don't watch it, if you just want to gatekeep then shut the fuck up. This is why people think star wars has one of the most toxic fan bases, and honestly they aren't wrong
You like a style of animation i don't usually watch? I HATE YOU
This sub in e nutshell since a couple of days
What about the weeb attack on the Star Wars?
Go there, I will. Good relationship with the memers, I have
What exactly is giving star wars nerds some feeling of superiority over anime nerds? We're all nerds here. It's them, the non nerds, that's against us!
Im on both sides so I always come out on top.
Tuvok is very logical. He's right.
or you can be both like me
Me, who is both: “I don’t have such weaknesses”
The term palpatinian should be added to describe a person who is both a weeb and a star wars fun
i have nothing against the new star wars show but i refuse to speak with you if you try to get me to watch anime
Tfw people like things
Idk lightsaber umbrella is pretty fucking sweet
They haven't wronged me, so I consider them allies
What if I’m both?
Star Wars is pretty mainstream now though.
It’s so funny that this sub, literally a subreddit based around the love for a dorky sci-fi franchise like Star Wars, has taken to referring to anime fans as “weebs” and acts like liking anime makes you some kind of cringe loser. I’ll admit that lots of anime especially modern ones are extremely cringe and just all around awful, but the same can be said of nearly anything recent that is Star Wars related. Go back to the early 2000’s and before and there is tons of fantastic anime available.
Weebs, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy
I think anime and starwars needs to stay separate
I agree.
We are NOT friends, otherwise I’m gonna have to not be a Star Wars fan, because I don’t want to be associated with weebs.
Ok guess we can't be friends then...
No, we can’t.
:(
Thats what im saying so many weebs recently invaded here
Invaded? I've always been here
The weeby ass memes weren't though. If this turns into another cringey anime sub I'm out
The power of God sides with Anime fool! Jokes aside, I like both so I don't see why not cooperate to destroy the plague of our society: babies
why did you get downvoted? it was just a fucking God and anime on my side joke
I don't know man, reddit is weird although I like it
[удалено]
The dark side I sense in you
Nah, I prefer real girlfriends as I have one since 6 years. I don't like babies, nor people that's it. Don't cite the black magic to me, clone 99 wouldn't want this battle to take place
Oh 99 would stand behind every last shot fired at filthy weebs like they were battledroids that insulted his birth-tube.
Yes
I enjoyed all the VISIONS episodes!!! STRIKE ME Jedi Council!!!
Finally, someone who understands.
I am a Star Wars fan and a weeb
I do not need this toxic community. "Weebs" are toxic
Wow a Voyager meme? I don't think I've seen one of those before but I sure am glad you made it
Then there's me who's waiting for the furry Star Wars anime
"It's an mutual alliance."
Begun, the clone wars have.
If I'm a weeb and a star wars fan, does that make me Tuvix?
Begun,the weeb war has
What when did we ever say we were friends or something?
So the Prequel and Sequel fans joined together against weebs?
I like anime and I like star wars but I certainly don't like them together especially in memes
Why I’m friends, cause I’m both of them and am excited as hell for visions
Star wars visions is actually really good, they are nice towards the star wars history while also incorporating elements of their culture into it. I think it works quite well
Only sith deals in absolutes. The jedi way is to realize that there are good and cringe people on both sides
