Return of the Naruto Community Derail Thread: Part Two!

I should have seen this coming. It's a good thing I didn't actually follow it, but it still stings somehow. Seo Kouji has surpassed himself.

What the hell is it with Japan and its deadly trucks?

Wait, didn't Kimi Irumachiwhatever end already?

They're in collusion with the japanese cold.

I forced myself through over 200 chapters of that tripe, it's like the most inane soap opera you've ever seen.

Oh, it ended. But Seo started another series, Fuuka, and he did the unthinkable. People are raging over at /a/. I've seen worse cases of rage, but it's really amazing how consistent Seo is at this sort of thing.

Basically, Seo killed off his title character. I'm pretty sure he must have been planning this for a while, maybe since the series began, but it's still incredible. Incredibly infuriating, that is.

So. How long until she is brought back to life, revealing that this manga is, in fact, a supernatural story?

Fucking Seo. Seriously how he still has a job baffles me more than anything.

The same reason why soap opera genre didn't die out.

I dunno, it seemed pretty final. The story had this 'summer love' deal - stories about summer love in Japan are usually ephemeral and transient, bittersweet and short, if you will. Fuuka's only 37 chapters in.

Considering Seo really does take a soap-opera approach to storytelling, I guess it's not impossible for it to happen. Although it'd be pretty cheap, he could do it. But my gut tells me no, he could probably squeeze out more rage and suffering out of his readers from keeping her dead.

My theory is that Seo keeps his readers engaged by constantly provoking them. A good way to maintain interest in a series is to generate genuine emotions out of your readers - be that joy, grief or something else. As long as you can make them get attached to your characters and story, they'll keep reading. In Seo's case, he uses rage very effectively. That's my theory, anyway.

It's hard to explain just how rage inducing Seo writing is to someone who hasn't read it. He's a honest to god Trolling Creator who made it his trade to enrage his readers.

And yet, he gets to start new series in the same issue his last one ended. People are weird.

Good thing I didn't even bother with reading Fuuka.

Lol, Koji Seo. He could be writing Argentinian telenovelas. 200 chapters of pure nothing happening.

Who is this chap and what stuff of his am I meant to be reading?

He's a cool dude and you're not meant to read any of it. Reading is too boring of an adjective, you don't read you experience with the force of a thousand suns. Experience it all.

Nothing Saiga, read nothing of his. Smashing you head into the wall is a better way of spending your time. Also it's probably what you would do if you tried to read any of his manga so might as well start with that and skip the unpleasant part.

I'm not sure which episodes among these I look forward the most, the next episode of:

• Person of Interest

• Gundam Build Fighters Try

• RWBY

This week, I'll have to go with RWBY, because it's the season finale, and shits are going to get mindexplodingly epic. Like, more epic than anything happened so far. Also, last episode had THE buggest HSQ moment series ever had at the end (granted, it's very tame compared to likes or Madoka).

Now, about Try.

The first season of Gundam Build Fighters has an absolutely great shipping, and the fans totally loved it. I'm somewhat worried, though, because the writers are too blatantly playing up the shipping factor too early on. I guess only time will tell.

wow Shirou sucks at planning dates

Benedict Cumberbatch.

Why your voice so dreamy.

He stole it from a dragon, it's literally magic.

Tohsaka is way better at planning dates.

Unsurprising. I look forward to seeing the results.

Also after driving back Gilgamesh there's no voice acting. Looks like I'm about to be treated to another awkward sex scene.

Shirou I have studied long and hard at the art of blowjobs, but not nearly as long and hard as you are now.

Best. Post. Ever.

Is it ever explained how Altria knew so much about giving blowjobs, when she was pretty much pretending to be a boy for nearly her entire life?

Watched Gundam Build Fighters Try ep 4.

The main character's sister turned out to be a brocon. In an adorable way, rather than being annoying. So far.

Also, it's not shaping to be as good as the first season. For one thing, the rivals in this season is so much more smug and assholish, in comparison to the previous season. Still, it's enjoyable enough.

I'm pretty sure it's Merlin's fault somehow.

W-wait, what the fuck?
