who was in the wrong here?
Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.
However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.
Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

Unironically both

Itachi went overboard with his elaborate plan but he's the coolest guy.
What does /a/ think of Owari no Seraph?
I'm a few episodes in and so far its pretty gay. as expected of something with vampires.
>>161853126
VERY smug girls.
Other than that, it's shit.

Sort of worth watching, not really worth rewatching. Pretty fucking gay throughout.
>>161853126
Don't watch it, just go find porn that matches your sexual preferences.
『Season 3 when?』
This shit triggered me pretty hard. They stop at the exact moment the series gets any good.
>>161853030
The dream is over, anon
Would /a/ describe Saitama as "attractive" ?
>bald
There's only one guy who would describe him as attractive.
Yeah

FPBP
Before Initial D, Shuichi Shigeno wrote a successful and very long series about motorcycles. No one's ever translated it AFAIK so a friend and I started tackling it. Here's the first chapter.

August 30th
Does it look any good or is it a horrible upscale?
>>161851943
Were they gay?
I know Mugi is.
>>161851288
There are no gays in anime. Its all bait
I've never watched the show but didn't Mugi and the teacher have sex all the time?
Is Nibutani Shinka a complex character?
She has no nose
>>161850261
She has depth but I wouldn't say she's particularly complex.
Not really.
Dekomori is the complex one, she's got some issues.
Now that the dust has settled, what went well?
I mean it is still berserk.
>>161849577
Nothing.
There was one cool song in the OST.
who could win?
>>161849274
Nobody. It'd be powerleveling to infinity and beyond, while the entire planet gets destroyed around them.
>>161849274
Is this a Slayers thread? Cause Lina was here, Naga a shit.
>>161849404

THIS IS NOW A SLAYERS THREAD.

Who else liked this more than Clannad? Also, Mai is best girl
They're both up there... however, Sayuri is best girl from Kanon.
>>161848777
Its really close between Mai and Sayuri for me. I do however think that Sayuri is the most tragic of all the characters. Care to expand on your thoughts on Sayuri?
>>161848833
Sayuri is the one with the most tragic back story, but instead of wallowing in it, she is the most generous of the characters. She just wants Mai and Yuiichi to be happy.
Sure, she has her issues and could use some therapy (they all could), but honestly she is the most well adjusted character in the whole show.
Also, unlike almost everyone else, her tragic past doesn't have any supernatural overtones - it's the sort of thing that could happen to anyone.
She doesn't have any magical powers... she's just a girl who lost her younger brother, but is loyal to her friends and wants other people to be happy.
She's very relate-able, more so than the other characters. She has a vulnerability that the other characters don't, but also a strength that none of the others show.
Go back and watch the scene where she tells her backstory to Yuiichi, and pay very close attention to her wrists and how quickly she covers them. Yes, she's had her tragedy, but she's doing her best to move past it. She doesn't need Yuiichi to come in and save her - she just needs a sympathetic ear.
