>>714924Some other miscellaneous titles I can think of that saw tons of discussion in the early days:
>Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (was everywhere while it aired, Haruhiism was a pseudo-religion on /a/ for half a decade afterward)>Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, absolutely huge when it aired, discussion flooded out of /a/ into /v/ and many other boards>Code Geass, dominated /a/ when it aired in 2006, with "geass sundays" still being remembered fondly by many oldfag anons, or with great annoyance since they did flood the board and make it virtually unusable, however the mere memory of Code Geass still excites /a/, pic related is the announcement of a third season being made in 2016>KC Green's "Gunshow" web comic is a good example of something post-chanology with staying power, started in the late 00's and you still see people reposting it>the infamous "Loss" strip from Ctrl Alt Delete (CAD) came out in 2008 and I don't think I need to explain it>a lot of Yahtzee Croshaw's videos (Zero Punctuation) have had immense influence on /v/'s culture since the 00s, he coined the "pants on head retarded" and "PC gaming master race" phrases in the 00s that are just part of /v/'s parlance, something of a taste-maker for them too though they will never admit to being influenced by e-celebs>e-hentai and exhentai are both massively important repositories of porn, mainly h-manga and doujins, widely used throughout 4chan, but especially on /a/, with exhentai being known as "sad panda" for reasons that are obvious if you've visited the site, there's a lot that could be said just about e-hentai>Nyaa is a torrent tracker specialized in anime and related media, it and the fansubbing community based around it have their histories entwined with /a/'s, it is /a/'s default and go-to source for pirated anime>mangatraders was a site for distributing manga for a long time that eventually went under, its collapse was a huge event on /a/ that led to the creation of madokami
