Diehard Webcomic Fans Invent Fake Anime

[BobisOnlyBob]

What do you expect with a cartoon that has Dayman (Daymare) ruling a nation

(I know the It's always sunny in Philidelhia/MLP joke has been done before, but I came with this when I first saw the cartoon and have been waiting for an opportunity).

It's Always Sunny in Fillydelphia.

(as a side note, Ponyville was called Fillydelphia [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Equestria#Fillydelphia] in Lauren Faust's original scripts/pitch)

 

[Biodeamon]

How long before they make an anime of Homestuck fans spitting into a bucket and filming it at a Pizza Hut?

...a bucket...?

CG: I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D ASSOCIATE US WITH THIS SORT OF LOW-RENT PORNOGRAPHY.

carcinoGeneticist's computer has exploded from sheer rage.

LOL US HOMESTUCKS RITE XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD LE BUCKETS AND FUCKASSES XDDDDDDD

and so the fruity rumpus asshole factory starts churning its gears

 

[Biodeamon]

Would it have killed you guys to just say "Homestuck" and not "a webcomic"? i think it's known well enough and if somebody asks what homestuck is you can just say:

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Normally I wouldn't care too much about this. Not like the Homestuck fandom hasn't come up with some stupid ideas and ran with them before. This would just be another one of those and there's no reason for me to be upset about it.

The only thing that irks me though is the poor 'translation' into anime. Once again, the 'fervent' fandom can't seem to get their favorite characters down right. No, they aren't all a bunch of kawaii anime characters uguu~. They are mostly a bunch of dysfunctional assholes of different measures.

 

[Mysterious Username]

I find it more interesting that the Homestuck fans are trying to make an actual Homestuck game.
Don't know if that's still going on though.

 

[Lunar Templar]

If MLP:FiM doesn't make it past the dreaded 65-episode mark, the fans will make S4 themselves, mark my words.

>.> I'm surprised there HASN'T been any fan made eps yet

ether way.

fake screen shots: meh, any one could do that

full, fan made eps of a show: far more impressive, and much harder to pull off well

thusly i give the win to the touhou fans on this

I'm pretty sure that at least SOME of those kawaii uguu~ screenshots are parodying the parts of the fandom that do think the characters are like that, as well as parodying anime in general.

At least, I hope so.

 

[bloodyEmissary]

I don't get it.

This is welcomed and praised by everyone, yet if one person makes a Pony thread its all "HELLFIRE AND BRIMSTONE MOTHER FUCKERS!" and "Fucking losers".

I am so confused by what the Escapist deems "right" and "wrong".

Uh...

Why is this considered newsworthy?

It's one of the most obnoxious Tumblr bandwagons to plague the Homestuck fandom in ages.
And that's fucking saying something.

This isn't something planned, it's just the result of the Tumblr part of the Homestuck fandom bursting with people who will jump at any bandwagon they see in the hope of getting as many likes/reblogs as possible without having to do much creative thinking themselves.
"Someone came up with a popular idea? MUST COPY. MUST COPY. MUST COPY."

This. Seriously, they're not "bored" either. This is just a giant-ass bandwagon that most people have jumped on. This "don't let the homestuck fandom get bored" thing pisses me off, because it's only been a week since the last update. One of the comic's biggest flash movies took nearly two months of no updates to make and absolutely nothing of note happened during that time.

I would hardly call this "everyone".

If you aren't familiar with web series Japanese shooter series Touhou Project [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/] as the craziest and most devoted fandom on the internet.

... really?

Do they have their own convention? Albums? ISLAND?

I don't think there are any major Homestuck conventions as of yet, but yes, we do have albums. [http://www.homestuck.bandcamp.com]
Jade's island [http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Pacific_Island] could arguably be called a particularly "Homestuck" island, but I don't know what island you're referring to.

Someone's trying to raise like 600 million to buy an island and name it Equestria.

Convention? Check. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou_Project#Reitaisai]

Albums? Check. [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/List_by_Groups]

Island? Why yes, I do believe it counts, so check. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan]

I was referring to this Homestuck nonsense, not your Touhou nonsense.

Also get your people to draw more Rumia in glasses. It's adorable [http://i.imgur.com/9Kb50.jpg].

... in fact just glass ALL the characters.

 

[Gottesstrafe]

Was anyone else expecting something along the lines of John McClane punching out Sephiroth or getting in a gun fight with a Roy Mustang turned Hans Gruber?

I know, I was just joining in on the fun.

And putting in Touhou+Glasses into most imageboards will get you all the glasses pictures you need.

I KEEP THROWING MONEY AT THE MONITOR

BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING

 

[(whitty name here)]

That's one thing that Touhou has is the incredible dedication to the series. Sure you're closer than anyone else, Homestuck, but you fail to realize how fucking crazy us Touhou fans are.

We are at the point where if you can think of a game, there is more than likely a Touhou spinoff/mod for said game. If there is an anime opening, there is more than likely a Touhou reskin of it. The Leviathan that is the Touhou fanbase is a giant pool of complete obsession that it can, at times, make a brony shiver.

Also, like 90% of our characters are borderline gods so they can kick your characters' ass.

 

[Satosuke]

After reading these comments, I am sure of one thing. I am staying faaaaaar away from anything related to this Homestuck thing or whatever Touhou is. Obsessive fandom is a scary thing, and I want no part of it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go keep working on my Castlevania themed sonic screwdriver while listening to Clockwork Angels for the 10th time today.

 

[Echo136]

I'll pass. I know this fandom too well, and an anime for MSPA would be riddled with John/Dad slash fiction or similar. Its really bizzarre. Think Im wrong? My ex-girlfriend is obsessed with it.

 

[Revnak_v1legacy]

I am both frightened and intrigued. I still won't go back and read any more of that dreadful time sucker, but I find the premise of a Homestuck anime hilarious. And a Homestuck fanime horrifying.
