Return of the Naruto Community Derail Thread: Part Two!

Because they're for people with friends, dudebro.

Aaaaand apparently the end of Kantai Collection anime sucked. Welp, glad that I dropped around episode 3.

....What do you mean it's getting second season? Is that even commercially successful?

That's the sexy boat anime, right?

Sexy boats were the enemies, if I remember correctly.

The "good guys" were cute ship girls that were doing cute girls...even when it was completely inappropriate.

Looking at the reviews, it seems that the show is kind of schizophrenic in writing and not sure if it wants to be serious or cute/funny.

Well, considering that it was probably written for the crowd who just want to see sexy boats and cute ships, it probably wasn't designed with good writing in mind.

But that might also be because it might be adapted from a cardgame, unless I'm thinking of a different kantai whatevers.

THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls is also the exactly the same kind of cardgame with Kancolle and it has a fairly decent - not perfect by any means - writing.

And Aldnoah.Zero just ended and to a surprise of nobody, it sucked.

I kinda sensed that coming from ep 2 and on. I felt like that the creators are going for far larger scope than most anime can afford to nowadays.

I dropped it after like four episodes I think. The main character had all the depth of a cardboard cut out, and the bad guys were retarded jobbers.

So, I finally got around to watching UBW anime. I suppose Fate Zero can wait.

Watched 00 and 01, and HOLY SHIT! Like, holy shit the battle animation is beyond the level of even the likes of Attack on Titan!

EDIT:Oh wait, I already posted this.

Nynaeve has been captured! And then proceeds to incinerate and literally disintegrate three Myrdraals. To the point the Aiel fear her.

Remind me why she isn't the main character again?

How you gonna have a series if Nynaeve's the Dragon? There has to be a reason that the protagonist might not win.

What series are you guys talking about?

The Wheel of Time.

Nynaeve is a berserker healer. She's stupid good at healing magic, but she's got a mental block that keeps her from casting unless she's furious.

That's probably the most crazy awesome thing I read in a long time. Will have to check this out.

There's fifteen books, counting the prequel, and a jillion characters and plotlines. Have fun.

Also tons of time wasted and the plot not moving. But still, Nynaeve is greatness. She's the healer and yet lightning bolts are her forte.

Also, I like how Elayne's function is to stand there and be pretty.

I'm assuming that Elayne is a woman. They sometimes do that in fantasy books.

She is, and a pretty princess to boot. I don't think her big politics plotline comes up for a while, though.

You have not seen plot failing to move until you've read Crossroads of Twilight. The bulk of the book is people reacting to the climax of the last book.

That's cause that climax is fucking awesome tho.

Oh it is the shit. And nobody who wasn't warned ahead of time has any idea what the fuck just happened, it's great.

You guys! I don't even have the funds to snatch the fourth book right now. T_T

Who needs funds to snatch things? You need to be a dashing rogue, Lu-tama!

As in, dashing the fuck out of the store with the book under your shirt.

...wouldn't that make it look like she's either pregnant or has three breasts?

Remember to put on the fake nose and glasses so nobody knows it was you.
