Return of the Naruto Community Derail Thread: Part Two!

I hope it's not that one post where I joked how Japan was the only country that managed not to get swallowed into one of the region based multinational blobs. >_>

Yup, that's one of them.

....Oh God.

Okay, seriously? Half of them are my forum posts?

Jesus Christ.

I don't get it, is it old shame because you even watched that show or old shame because you poked fun at how shamelessly xenophobic it is?

It's an Old Shame because my reactions to the xenophobia and poor writing from that series was unnecessarily heated up and engaged.

It's not too much different to feeding the troll, methinks.

YAMATO DAMASHI is also a Muv Luv meme.

There are few things I've heard about that series. Most of them...not exactly very flattering.

Like, I don't know if that actually happened or not, but apparently there was this one scene when a bunch of pilots are asked to field strip a M16 (or whatever). The given time was 15 minutes, but one of them complained it takes him 30 minutes.

Some of my friends have been in military, some even air force, and they like to make fun about that particular moment, because in my country's military you have to do a field strip on rifle...'under two minutes. Record time was about 50 seconds, methinks.

Nothing too substantial, obviously, but it does amuse me a little.

I don't think it took them that long, though I admit it's been awhile. Also, most of the main cast are just trainees given that they're about sixteen. When the main character with some experience under his belt does it I think it only takes him about a minute? Plus, it's not like they ever really use that kind of weaponry. Mostly everybody has to fight in giant robots.

Really there's stuff worth making fun of but I don't think how they treat hand held weaponry is really one of them.

So the scene is indeed as trivial as I imagined it would be.

Oh, it definitely is, given the number of people with military experience in my country. XD

Yeah, making fun oh mecha pilots for having problems with maintaining a rifle is kinda like making fun of a sniper for not knowing how to take care of a sword.

I think it would be more like having a scene where soldiers are required to do a proper maintenance on their katanas and fail at it, even though they are marksman. They might not deserve being made fun of, but the scene itself is probably farcical. XD

Watched The Black Cauldron for the first time since I was a little kid. Holy cow, hard to believe that Disney made such a dark movie. And it contains no singing!

Random thought.

Hey guys, here is a plot synopsis for a vampire story.

Imagine, a recently divorced police officer of a small town learns that his daughter will be coming to live with him so his ex-wife will go around traveling with her new husband. Despite that, he strives to make her time in the town a great one. The town is quiet and scenic and all around unremarkable, but he started to notice how corpses of animals that have had their blood sucked dry have been appearing around the mountains, which he proceeds to investigate upon.

Then one night he sees a strange figure appearing at his daughter's room. He threatens the figure out of the room. Soon after his daughter reveals that she made a boyfriend. Alert but happy, he asks her to meet the boy...and then the boy turns out to be that same figure. Initially he thinks it's just coincidence, but the more she spends time with that boy, the more off shouldn't becomes.

Suspicious, he trails the boy. Then he sees the boy sucking an animal's blood. Shocked, he investigates into this and realizes that the bloodless animal corpses started to appear when the boy and his family arrived at the town...which was DECADES ago. He eventually comes to realization that the boy and his family is no mere human beings and his daughter is under the threat of either turning into one of them or worse.

So begins the man's fight against supernatural monsters to protect the town and his family.

.....

..............And yes, you are correct, this is Twilight, if the main character was Charlie Swan, Bella Swan's "loser dad".

Seriously, this should be a thing.

This sound way more interesting than Twilight we got.

Charlie was probably in the pocket of the Cullens from the beginning, though. What kind of half-assed takeover of a small town doesn't include suborning law enforcement early on?

Or, to get more cliched (because God knows that even then it will better than canon), he had a suspicions but his superior (I don't think he was the chief of the police force) officers are keep telling him to stay out of this. Whatever the truth is, it's probably irrelevant because fuck you Edward and Bella are purest couple foreva.

-sighs-

Still better than Mahouka, though.

*checks*

Nah, he was Da Chief. He'd be the guy shutting down suspicions and ordering badges handed over and making quiet phone calls if someone starts getting too close. And he tells himself that it's too keep the town stable and safe when he accepts those "generous gifts," because the last thing anyone wants is for that family to get hostile, but they've never started pulling kids into their influence like this and it's his own damn daughter to boot and he'd try to warn her off but what teenager is going to listen to her father about something like that and anyway she's a smart girl but everyone's an idiot at that age and he just doesn't know what the hell he's supposed to do.

But the paranormal romance thingy I really wanna see is with a Chinese Vampire. Those fussy European-style vamps have had their moment in the, um, moon.

Huh, he was Da Chief? Well, that makes it less excusable, then.

I've seen some Chinese movies with gangshi (that's how they are called in my country).

Eeeehhhhhhhhh

What, just because they're rigor-mortisy and look like they've got mold growing on them, they can't be romantic leads?

At least with Western vampires you can pretend it's not really necrophilia. Screwing a cold, rigid corpse that can't even walk just doesn't sound very romantic to me. Or physically pleasant.

Well to be fair, what was he supposed to do? Arrest them for vampiring without license?

Western vampires don't even need to be dead.

Althought that might make them a bit too awesome.

They just...don't do a whole lot other than jumping around.

Though there was this one movie that had had a villain making a Chinese Vampire out of a corpse of a famous martial art master. It had scenes like the said vampire use of his arm that hero slashed off and use it to hit his head at the hero like a baseball game from Hell.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure if it was a martial art movie or a comedy.

Famous martial arts masters revived as jiangshi is actually pretty common from what I've seen. Off the top of my head, Shaman King uses it and I know I've seen it elsewhere.

Make a martial arts comedy where Da Chief revives famous martial arts masters as jianshi to fight the prissy western vampires who've taken over his town and are beguiling his silly daughter.

You could even have such scenes like: The gearing up scene where everyone gets guns, but their martial arts vampires so they don't use guns, so he gives them all sunglasses and mustaches like his.
