Return of the Naruto Community Derail Thread: Part Two!

I wouldn't, the villain seems to be unrepentantly evil and has a semi practical, apparently reliable process for increasing both his own and his armies strength.

You guys seem way too excited about the idea.

Ugh I'm out. Call me when it becomes less gross and creepy around here.

It's less of excitement but more of appellation.

Either way, it's really sick and wrong, and I shouldn't have brought it up. Sorry folks.

I didn't mind, but I don't really gross out easy, especially from second hand accounts of things.

Same here. In fact you're just giving me ideas.

Well, that's good to hear. Either way, I personally don't want to talk about it anymore, so I'm going to change the topic.

Who here watched Sakurasou No Pet Na Kanojo?

I watched up to ep 18, about a year ago. I mostly remember it as a series where being Nanami is suffering.

Ah geez, that show. It made me feel sort of weird to watch because I could sort of get why having a cute girl being that dependent of you would be really attractive to some people in a lighter and softer Misery sort of way; the main character was a shit though going through the same character arc of being a jealous arse multiple times.

I'm still not sure how I finished the second half of that show.

Yeah, true that.

Bakemonogatari is annoying me somewhat. Araragi's reaction to Suguru beating the everloving shit out of him and leaving him bloody and immobile on the ground is just really hard to buy. She just cheerily apologizes the next day and he only wants to know where she got that power. What the fuck.

That's sorta the point. He's messed up. Araragi Vamp and Nadeko Medusa/Hitagi End drive it in the most.

I think you'll like Kaiki, by the way. If you ever get to him

I think I might have jumped the gun a bit as well. He seems to have already been aware it wasn't as simple as her just assaulting him consciously.

Have you read the light novels or are you just speaking about the anime, for the stuff that makes him being messed up clear?

The talk at length about how self sacrificing he is in the anime. Kaiki's great though, he even gets his own arc.

Even the arc you're on calls him out for it. The Koyomi Vamp thing hasn't been animated yet, but it's the most obvious one. I mean, the novel starts with him letting a random vampire kill him.

I'm currently re-watching RWBY so my memory of it won't be hazy.

I'm on episode 8 right now (Which is where I've left off last time).

I still absolutely can't bring myself to like anything about this.

Everything here is just so... Akward.

The designs, the animation, the graphics, the characters, the music.

Everything ticks in just the right ways to piss me off.

Whatever, I promised I'll give it a second chance until the end of the first season, and I will.

Yeah, Oshino and Senjougahara both said he was messed up for it.

So in a certain corner of the internet, I was reading a thread about fanfic, and its merits. One of the posters said that fanfiction is a legitimate literature.

Fanfic. Legitimate literature.

This is coming from a fanfic writer who wrote a fanfic that is currently at 51K words.

I guess fanfiction is one of those fields with some fans who see the need to validate/justify their hobby. Kinda reminds me of [censored, but you know who I'm talking about].

No, I don't.

It's kinda legitimate literature in that it's words forming a story.

To me, the idea of calling fanfiction literature is laughable at best, but eh, the definition of literature is flexible so you are right.

In another topic, I'm watching season 3 of Leverage. Very, very fun.

I agree with Irony, but I have to say I find that fanfic writers/readers can be too defensive of fanfiction and it's super annoying. Especially so when they go the lengths of trying to say the practice is at least equal or superior the practice of writing original works.

There's plenty of old literature that's basically fanfiction. Like everything Shakespeare ever did, if real-person fic counts. Or The Divine Comedy, complete with a self-insert and copious bashing of people he didn't like.

@D Roy: Well, The Mortal Instruments and 50 Shades of Gray are considered literature, so I guess FF is legitimate literature now.

Um, what the fuck?

Is Lack of Empathy or True Neutral a character trait of hers?

Back in the day, there were no copyright laws so everyone could write their own version of stories which we would today call fanfiction.
