https://archive.4plebs.org/o/thread/12367090/#12367951Non-anime boards were initially made for anime fans to discuss non-anime with other anime fans. Fast boards like /v/, /pol/ and /r9k/ definitely lost their anime roots as they gained momentum and got flooded by newfriends, but boards like /k/, /g/, and /o/ which are fortunate not to have been flooded with as many newfriends are virtually untouched by normalfags.
Even shitholes like /pol/ still have strong anime themes, case in point the Girls und Panzer music in the Brexit sticky and a Trump sticky with Gurren Lagann music.
