[HorribleSubs] Seraph of the End - 05 [720p]
This episode's animation was pretty weird.
>>124822310
I know right?
It was stiff and shit
>>124822564
>stiff
Really? I think it moved plenty. But the movement was weird.
>shit
I don't think it was bad. Just .. different.
>>124822564
At least we got plenty of good smugdere moments.
Careful what you guys talk about my second waifu of this season.
>>124823209
>waifu
>shittiest show of the season
How can one's taste be so bad?
Poor purple beard girl
She could have been in a better show
>>124823420
She would be Mary Sue in any other show.
But in SotE, she is just random slut.
>>124823345
The quality of the show doesn't correspond to the quality of the waifu she's in. With that said, I quite enjoy this show, it reminds me of KlK a bit.
>>124823527
The quality of waifu is only as high as quality of show she is in. This is logical fact.
This is the state of /a/ where they think more with their dicks than anything else
>>124822310
DINNER AT NANOHAS
>>124823605
I've heard a lot of wrong things on /a/. This isn't the wrongest thing. But it's pretty wrong. About as wrong as the "Misato doesn't get turned into tang" guy.
>>124822179
Literally a real life troll.
She should get hit by a bus.
>>124823690
At least we are not impotent like you.
I can't quantify it but the animation was super fucking weird, like it was missing frames in between or something
>>124822841
I dunno, it reminded me of Aku no Hana rotoscoping. Attempted fluid-like movement but the individual frames lasted too long to get it right.
>>124822179
What the fuck is wrong with the animation?
>>124825294
It's a jpg you baka.
What a boring fucking episode. The elevator scene took half the episode.
>>124825374
>>124825374
wat
>>124825445
>The elevator scene took half the episode.
Owari no Seraph confirmed next EVA
>>124824143
No, when you're old enough you don't gap to every moving thing
>>124822841
I agree, I think they tried to step up the movement, but the actual quality of the movement suffered as a result.
>>124825716
Time to helium exit then.
>>124822909
I hope smugdere becomes a thing.
Shinoa saving anime.
Best
>>124826095
I really want to see her shit getting kicked.
Characters like that are best when they start loosing.
>>124826095
uguu
>>124822310
Kou Yoshinari animated a fair bit of the first half.
>>124826095
Did they spend all the bugdet on the early episodes already? Fuck.
>>124826388
disgusting animation
>>124826388
That's some pretty good character animation. That jump could've used a bit bore inbetweens perhaps?
We've had 5 episodes of this FAGGOT MC just begging for power 24/7 holy fucking shit.
Hopefully that shit ends now he's going to get this shitty weapon.
Only good part was the teasing slut winding the teacher up.
>>124826388
It's like halfway between an episode of south park and your standard anime animation quality wise.
I hate the humans more with every episode. None of them are even remotely likeable. Why can't we just have a show with delicious Mikaela, Krul and Ferid?
>>124826428
Looks like they ran out of time. Some parts were still great while some being abysmal.
For example, >>124826388 had both in the same webm.
>>124826558
There's nothing "abysmal" in that webm though.
>>124826492
It needs to speed up and the wall bump needs to be lower
>>124826617
The part where MC ran into the wall looked like it was missing half it's frames.
>>124823690
Its been like this forever newfag
>Kou yoshinari animation
Based WIT
>>124827318
Absolutely Based
>>124826428
>Did they spend all the bugdet on the early episodes already? Fuck.
Based Wit!
>>124822179
fuck i knew she was smug but not THAT SMUG
>Tahaha!
Absolute nngghh
Pacing is pretty damn slow. Will they even go out before the end of the cour? Holy shit
>things actually move on screen for once
>/a/ goes "wait what this is weird what's happening with the animation?"
The in-betweens are pretty bad but the first half of the ep is probably about as good as Seraph's ever gonna be animation-wise.
I thought you fags said the high school setting doesn't even last that long.
>>124829723
It was basically over during this episode
>>124829495
Yeah, that's pretty damn sad
is this garbage worth watching?
>>124830071
Watch it for Mikaela.
>>124829495
>muh sakuga people
It looked like shit.
>>124830148
You look like shit.
>>124830148
I'll take awkward looking scenes with lots of movement over the absolutely-nothing-moves that seems to be the standard in seraph.
>>124826464
Kill yourself, cancer
>>124822179
I have not picked this up and I am now literally considering picking this up just for her
>>124830780
It has nice backgrounds.
If vampires want to wipe out humans again, why won't they just release the virus?
Shit animation in this episode, what were they thinking.
>>124831450
>Dat sakuga this episode
Everything looked more lively than usual, thank you based WIT.
>>124831533
That fifth movie was such a perfect rape.
>>124831438
They can't, since they need their blood to live.
>>124831992
Yoshinari isn't ded, so glad
Why aren't there any teenagers around? Do they kill or release the teenagers and only milk kids?
Anybody have a bigger version of this image?
>>124832665
they probably stayed up all night playing on the street or something.
>>124832825
I really like the black and green aesthetic the weapons have. You'd expect them to go full demon edge and make all red and black, but no
Going by what I've heard of the spoilers, isn't Gurren's sword purple girl's onee-san?
Why didn't the acknowledge her more?
>>124832825
Fucking guren
>>124827318
>Kou Yoshinari
>Good
>>124833082
>Why didn't the acknowledge her more?
What do you mean?
>>124833181
She could have at least said hi.
>>124833082
The reason why she wasn't brought down like the others is probably because it WAS her
Even the teacher used a ward
>good animation in an episode where nothing actually happens
>>124833333
>33333
Nice.
>>124833333
Quints don't lie
>>124833238
There was also Shinoa's reaction upon learning about it, so they can't reveal it here
are they still fucking around in highschool?
>>124826428
Wit has notoriously NOTORIOUSLY bad scheduling. So bad that the animators threatened to go on strike once.
>>124833680
Nope, that ended with this episode.
>>124833680
It stopped this episode
>>124833333
Goddamn dat foreshadowing
>>124833333
Isn't that just as easily because she is a semen demon though?
>>124834145
Probably.
I don't think her sister's powers would have any effect on one of their own. But still she probably didn't hurt her on purpose
>her feet don't touch the floor while sitting
How short is this smug bitch
>>124834545
Short enoughfor my dick.
>CG
>>124829723
Read the manga.
Man, she's cute and fun as fuck.
>>124835991
Garbage character.
I want a Shinoa
>the only scene my voivode appeared in this episode is a replay from the last one
No wonder she declared war, she wants her rightful screentime.
>>124839485
>hating on Shinoa
Are you fujoshit?
>>124839541
>lol i trole u
Garbage character.
>>124839604
>can't handle the banter
Sasuga fujoshit
>>124839651
>doesn't know what banter is
Man the pacing was off this episode. Felt like a complete waste of time. I wonder how far into the source material they're actually going to go now. It looks like we have at least another three episodes before we actually get around to fighting vampires at this rate.
>>124839780
>you will never be wonder woman
>>124826095
Cutest, that hands hnggg
Seriously though, I like what I've seen of Shinoa as a char. Why does she have to be in a show with such a piss poor edgelord story?
>>124826517
it's almost as bad as having a tripfag begging for attention 24/7 am I right?And yes I know I am giving him some right now
In case people haven't seen it yet, here's the extended preview for the opening and ending
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2oou8g_sawanohiroyuki-nzk-x-u-scapegoat-extended-preview_music
>>124839951
>watching this show for the girls
You have only yourself to blame.
>>124837918
A demon isn't a human anymore, but something you basically can classify as an vampire.
>>124839951
>a piss poor edgelord story
You won't get a character like Shinoa in a real edgy show
>>124839951
How the fuck is the main character in this an edgelord? He is very much justified in wanting revenge when a flamboyant vampire twirled around and kill his entire family.
>>124839780
10/10
>>124840940
>handles all over the place
What kind of water receptacle is that?
>>124840097
I think he means the transition it happened in
Mahiru and Shinoa are not really human nor vampire nor fully demons. They are right in the middle of everything
>>124840652
>I WANT TO BE TEH STRONGEST
>I WANT TO KILL EVERYTHING BY MYSELF
>I DON'T NEED FRIENDS
literally everyone has lost people to vampires but they're all managing to not be annoying dicks all the time
>>124826517
Why is everybody on a so fucking retarded? We get a character whose pursuit of power is completely justified, who is human and believable in his behaviour and everybody keeps complaining. Seriously, what the actual fuck?
>>124841036
Guren wasn't really the best parent for a traumatized child.
Yu gets better though once he bonds with his friends a bit and finds out Mika is alive.
Left or right
>>124841036
Ok so just like I thought you have absolutely no idea what edgy even means.
>>124841144
>Expecting something out of someone that literally got every single question in a test wrong
ITT: A bunch of newfags who know nothing about animation.
>>124841172
Shinoa>>>>>shit>>>shitty generic twintail tsundere
>>124841172
Does anyone even like Mitsuba?
>>124841036
>Wanting completely justified revenge, while still clearly putting family above all else (the revenge stemming from the loss of family in a horrible way) makes a character edgy
>The fear of forming bonds with people stemming from having lost everyone close to you in a gruesome manner is edgy
>A quest for power is edgy
Do you know what the word edgy means, or have you been desensitized by watching too many faggot MCs in haremshit to the point where you think being a massive faggot without a spine or a brain makes for a normal and well adjusted protagonist?
Does Yoichi get any bitches later on?
>>124841016
It's beautiful, that's what it is.
>>124841370
>robo hand
>robo face
>robo shoulders
Damn, I want to know what happened to this fucker.
>>124841370
It's no M'Quve vase, but it's pretty snazzy
>>124841332
Yeah but its just another fujobait.
>>124841321
Kureto has fans, she must have some somewhere.
>>124841321
She's good, but Shinoa overshadows her too much.
>>124841488
But dose he also have a robodick?
>>124841321
I like her height and tits. She'd be a good fuck.
>>124839780
>>124841036
>literally everyone has lost people to vampires
No, the virus isn't vampires's fault
>>124829143
i hate this bitch so much
>>124841321
They should hurry up and make her and glasses get closer so its more delicious when he betrays them
>>124841036
That's like telling a veteran with PTSD: "Everybody was in the some war and they're fine, so stop screaming in your dreams like a little bitch. Just suck it up fagget."
Different people deal differently with loss and suffering.
>>124841913
>>124841488
Looks like he still has the curse that killed most the world on his body.
>>124841913
>>124841488
Now i know where Shinoa gets her purple hair
>>124841488
Are those markings on his face the same as the demon virus thing?
>>124841036
He doesn't believe in the stuff he says. He constantly repeats these things to remind himself that this is what he has to do, because this pledge is the only connection he has left with his family, but his actions and other characters' impressions of him say otherwise. We are repeatedly reminded that he's actually a nice guy and this edgy attitude doesn't suit him.
When he meets Mika again,people say he goes 180 on his edgy character, but that's wrong. His character never changed, he just returned to his original self without the need to keep up with the pledge, it's our understanding of his true character that has changed.
>>124841980
>>124842004
I'll poke your eyes out fucking whore
>>124841488
He maybe did experiment with his own body?
>>124842169
>>124840940
Why the fuck Kureto looks so innocent and cute in the anime?
>>124831438
>>124824144
If by weird you mean great, yeah.
>>124842169
>>124842280
Kureto has always been innocent and cute.
>>124826095
>>124826388
>>124826558

I want to repopulate the world with her.
>>124841321
I like her, but I like Shinoa more and Mitsuba lost before the race even started.
>>124842619
Get in line
>>124842429
Kureto is the type of delusional fuck that'll never realize how horrible he is.
>>124842697
>dem childbearing hips
Are they going to animate this?
>>124842697
No point in fighting a losing battle
At least she is smarter than Glen's bitches
>>124841247
If it didn't look right, it didn't do its job
>>124842884
It's just a chapter cover
>>124842697
This is the first time I see that Kamizuki, Yuu and Yoichi were in the very back in this picture
>>124841321
Should have been paired off with either of the other guys in their group instead of adding her to Yuu's harem.
>>124842884
Pray for a fanservice OVA because that was just a chapter cover.
>>124842917
That's true. Maybe if she doesn't die then she'll probably end up with Kimizuki or Yoichi if author doesn't want her ending up alone.
>>124842697
>No beach episode ever because the seas are contaminated with acid
>>124842994
Nah, she will get Kimizuki
Started watching today and caught up in one sitting. Bloody hell how slowly everything happens in this show. Is the manga also slow as fuck or is this just a pacing issue with anime?
>>124842709
need more images of MC breaking through her sassy attitude
>>124843167
Manga is also slow, but the anime seems to be going just as slow if not more, there's always some pause in between their dialogues and there's even a recap in the latest ep.
>>124843153
2/10 made me reply
>>124843251
They don't even have a pixiv tag together
Such is the fate of fujo pandering shows
>>124843280
Well fuck. Thought about giving manga a try but don't feel like starting to read even more slow ongoing stuff.
>>124842994
>adding her to Yuu's harem.
Except she is not even trying anymore. She became part of the keep the stupid of the MC in check duo with Kamizuki anyway

>>124843900
WIT has forsook the male fans
>>124843585
it will get better later, the manga is currently in chapter 33, the anime is still only in chapter 6 of the manga
>>124843900
Is too early
There is only like 3 posters out so far without counting the promotional ones
>>124843900
Maybe after Mitsuba and Ashuramaru appear.
>>124844142
What?
>>124843900
They'll probably get more stuff later.
>>124823690
What did you expect, /a/ like the board with desperate virgins after just one other board. Most other blue boards have made peace with their permavirgin status and are actually focused on the hobbies their boards are dedicated to unlike here where everyone's browsing with a single hand.

>"I don't want nobody to get killed"
>>124845275
that's the best part of the OP though. At least from the music and the rotating vampire loli
Shinoa is perfect.
chapter 33 supposedly came out today.
>>124845475
Except that she doesn't finish her greens.
Eat your veggies, midget.
>>124845515
Well we have tobegWSJD anon to dump it, so please don't be too impatient.
>>124845606
that's why she can't drive

>>124845853
Are Japs fucking retarded. Even people suffering from dwarfism can ride a car, they just have to buy a specially adjusted model.
>>124846280
Maybe they have bigger things to worry about in the post-vampire-apocalypse world than the special driving needs of the little people.
>>124845515
Raws when?
>>124841144
He blushed.
>>124846280
that's just a car they found on the street, can't ask for more
>>124846345
But there should be hundreds of cars lying about. Additionally, she's a member of the ruling family, so there should be people taking care of things like that for her.
>>124841321
She's overshadowed. Krul > Shinoa > Mitsuba > *
I like them all though.
>>124846464
It is not like she has to drive, there are the guys in her team who can drive for them
>>124841321
She hasn't even shown up yet and I like her.
>>124846819
Good. Female tsuns should be eradicated.
>>124846464
>she's a member of the ruling family, so there should be people taking care of things like that for her.
Her family doesn't even like acknowledging her existence due to the incident with her sister
>>124846973
That's a good reminder of how deeply retarded the human command group is.
KILL ALL VAMPIRES
>>124846819
she is just generic tsundere
>>124847170
Why?
>>124847357
When is Eren going to discover that he was secretly a vampire all along?
Shinoa is the cutest and the best
Shinoa's just a bully. You shouldn't glorify her.
>>124847357
1)Take a close up on a character in the background of a frame
2)Pretend that it's QUALITY.
3)???
4)Profit.
>>124847745
It's okay because she's cute. Cute is justice.
>>124847745
Shinoa had a hard life.
>>124847455
>pseudo-military structure run by a single family for no publicly available reason, bullshit partially hidden caste system in a state of emergency, extremely low manpower but happy to murder people for failing tests or other arbitrary reasons, torture subordinates for no reason and then wonder if people are plotting against you
I like Mitsuba
>>124847949
>>pseudo-military structure run by a single family for no publicly available reason
They were the reason why there's still 10% of the human population that survived and their power is high even before the apocalypse
>>124824028
>About as wrong as the "Misato doesn't get turned into tang" guy.
What? That is incredibly wrong?
>>124848159
It's more likely they were responsible for the disaster in the first place.
>>124847745
It will motive Yuu to learn kanji so nobody will make fun of him again
>>124847687
B-but he isn't a vampire.
>people complaining about actual animation
go watch Eva for the thousandth time.
>>124847357
Don't forget to experiment on them.
>>124831992
Speaking of lively, Yu is pretty cute when you can't hear him.
;__;
>>124848839
>no freckles
Disgusting.
>>124842697
>4 toes on a cover page
thats sad, theres even room for one more
>>124848977
>>124847878
She seems to be missing a toe.
>>124826388
The only really bad part is when Yuu ran into the wall
>>124849024
What the fuck is wrong with Kureto?
>>124849024
Maybe Kureto ate it.
What the fuck is Mika even trying to do besides save Yu from some, as of now, invisible boogeyman? What is the point of his character still being around? He should have stayed dead.
>>124849202
Fujobait for fujobucks.
Krul also told him something important.
>>124849024
>>124849081
>>124849128
>Delusional man eats little sister's toe and gets away with it
>>124826388
somebody post that IM@S movie webm.
>>124849202
He's saving Yu from the Demon Army who are actually bad. People keep talking about Mika being brainwashed by the vampires but they have entirely valid reasons for not liking the demon army.
I really don't know what Mika intends on doing with Yu after he saves him though.
>>124848870
They're there, just not as blatant in color.
>>124849202
>What is the point of his character still being around?
To experience a different kind of suffering than Yu. Mika had to throw his humanity and live as a vampire now. Also While Yu went to school and made new friends and comerades, Mika is surrounded by people he hate except for Krul, so his obession over saving Yu is somewhat justified.
>>124849202
>What is the point of his character still being around?
Ask Krul.
>>124849860
Also he's super boring, so the reader can also suffer.
>>124849202
They are double MC of this series
>>124849960
More interesting than Yu.
>>124849994
I have a hard time considering them double MCs. Sure there are some Mika POV chapters but they are extremely few and far between.
>>124850096
Perhaps, but Yu has a wacky supporting cast that isn't just an Anne Rice convention.
>>124822909
Literally best part of the show
Easily one of the best characters of the season
>>124849202
He really hasn't done anything of worth aside from crying about muh Yuu and saving Shinoa
>>124849461
>I really don't know what Mika intends on doing with Yu after he saves him though.
Take him to his loli mom so she can go through with whatever her end plans with the seraphs actually are
>>124823605
This is false.
It works with any character; the quality of a character is independent from the quality of the show, but not vice versa.
>>124847687
this cutie, would waifu hard
>>124839485
Garbage Anon
Is there anything to a vampire other than being very fast and difficult to kill for real?
>>124839672
>doesn't know what banter is
>>124822179
We need more smug bitch instead of millions others tsun bitch.
>>124850662
Super strength and they use weapons that gain strength from their blood similar to the black demon series
I don't get why some anons complain about the animation it is good
>>124850662
human physical capability x7, super regen, weapons also seems to be special.
doujin where shinoa and yoichi fuck while yu watches when?
all the while with shinoa putting her smug face on
I wonder who is gonna voice Mahiru
>they indicated the plural possessive properly
Impressive.
>>124850963
>Yoichi ntr Yuu
>>124851285
Nothing better when a fuccboi does that to the alpha guy
>>124851285
Is it NTR when Shinoa and Yuu were never a thing?
All she does is mess with him. I could see a doujin where Shinoa fucks Yoichi in front of Yuu just to piss him off, like when she took Yoichi from him in the pair practice.
>>124850963
Shinoa would never do that
Sounds out of character
>>124842619
Son. This gif. How could you do that.
>>124850925
The animation was really odd this episode due to a n overuse of rotoscoping. It was shot like a japanese tv drama, too, which made the directing and composition feel weird compared to the last several episodes, and was probably done just so they could rotoscope from one.
There are a few scenes where literally every detail on someone's body changes in small but jerky amounts while they walk forward, and their head deforms in size relative to their body. There were also actions where they had obviously used too many interpolating frames and made the action seem to play out more slowly that it looks like it should.
It wasn't an awful job overall, but the different directing style and the shots where it didn't look to great sort of stand out.
>>124851715
which series did this pasta come from?
>>124848529
You mean first.
Other than Yuu's cartoonlike slide into the wall, the only scene that really stuck out to me as visually odd was when Yoichi was consoling Yuu on his test grade.
He was constantly swaying for some reason.
>>124849024
Are these the only two places where her feet are visible?
She just keeps getting better
Reminder that Owari no Seraph is a propaganda secretly supported by Abe and JSDF faction in order to promote chauvinism and restore militarist fascism.
>>124851994
But the militant fascists are the bad guys in this show, and the good guys are lead by a woman.
>tfw parried
>>124851715
it maybe looks a bit rough but It still looks good to me, it is not QUALITY
>>124852464
Same. I went in expecting it to look horrible but the only part that stood out as that was when Yuu faceplanted into the wall.
>>124852464
I wasn't criticizing. It wasn't bad overall, just different.
I didn't care for it personally, but it's not like the visual quality of the episode suffered from being done this way.
>>124852349

> a n overuse of rotoscoping
there are 2 reasons why still I am watching this show:
1) the possibility for moral ambiguity.
2) the purple haired chick is fucking awesome and is currently carrying the show for me.
I love how as soon as he saw the score he looked in the direction Shinoa is seated as if expecting her to actually come and bully him
[vivid] when
>>124853546

>>124853944

>>124854012
No, it's pretty clear that he doesn't actually enjoy having to put up with her being a bitch all the time.
When will Slaine's suffering end?
>>124854109
That's the only right way to deal with edgemasters though
>>124854190
And who might that be?
She's such a troll and just plain evil but I can't help but love that about her.
>>124854154
He looks like a reptile there.
>>124854236
Has been trolling edgy MCs since she was 8
>>124854249
because of the eyes?
>>124854599
And the nose.

>Is too autistic to realize that we're all friends on 4chan.
>>124854785
Well, manga and LN got a boost
>>124854785
Well Hypnotoad has the better show, so that's to be expected.
>>124854785
The show's content is a marketing disaster, it doesn't seem sure who it wants to pander to and is balancing itself horribly between them. 3 episodes of edgy MC making friends in highschool while a cute female sidekick chides him will have chased all the fujoshi, but you're not going to win over otaku with a show that only has 1 main girl and who is a side character at best.
>>124855196
Utapri S3 is shit.
>>124855288
It's too late to stop now.

It really is, the only thing that could save it is the duo between the two blues.
>>124855240
It's omnipandering, but WIT abandons the male fans and aim for the girls with content that isn't nearly as homo as they make it seem to be
>>124839485
wut??
>>124855462
That isn't bait. The girls in this are terrible. I'm honestly surprised /a/ is even talking about them when the show is basically a sausage fest. It's not like there's a shortage of other programming where you don't have to wade through a bunch of men to find a short bitch and a tsundere.
>>124855240
>1 main girl and who is a side character at best
>Shinoa
>side character
You wut m8?
She is the most aware of all the fucked up things going on in the manga than anybody else
>>124855584
The guy is missing words, I think he meant to say
>1 main girl and the other who is a side character at best
>>124823690
There's literally nothing wrong with lusting after perfect being.

I'm only watching it for smugdere-cham

>>124855240
>marketing disaster
>omnipandering
It follows the manga so far, that's is what you call omnipandering if the manga and LN sales incresead there is no problem. Just like the manga the anime will pick up later on.
>>124831438

What budget?
>>124855902
>omnipandering
>>124855584
She also gets more screentime than Mika
>>124854785
Too bad your shit opinion doesnt matter, fag. Seraph is still getting two seasons and will get more if the manga does well enough. Disc sales always have been a bonus even if newfags like you pretend otherwise.
>>124855569
>sausage fest
>short bitch
ohhh men,I would agree if you only insult the tsundere, but Shinoa?? wow someone here is quite in need of attention
>>124855965
>Seraph is still getting two seasons
That was planned from the get go, it has nothing to do with sales from the anime
> and will get more if the manga does well enough
If the anime is a flop they won't make more.
>>124855902
It hasn't omnipandered very well, though.
It's made it pretty clear that fujoshi are #1, and the girls are there if the guys want to stick around for them.
If you want to see an example of more well done omnipandering, watch Gundam or Code Geass. There's nothing in either of those that will drive male or female viewers off, and there's also plenty of service for both.
>>124856006
>If the anime is a flop they won't make more.
Cool story bro
>>124856035
Yeah, conversely this seems to be full of things that will drive both fanbases off, and not much left to actually appeal to either of them.
Like there's this imminent sibling rivalry between 2 contrasting bishounen BL archetypes that'll inevitably be soaked in homoerotic subtext, and its looming shadow is offputting to anyone that isn't a fujoshi.
But does anyone really expect a fujoshi to watch MC get bullied by a smug girl for 4 episodes before they get any of the gay they so horribly crave?
>>124856006
>If the anime is a flop they won't make more.
That's not true.
>>124856241
Still waiting for Legend of Legendary Heroes Season 2
>>124856035
>>124856136
You guys do realize there's more to anime than just pandering right?
This is just the way the author likes to make his stories. If you watch/read Legend of the Legendary Heroes then you will understand.
The fujoshit moments are really few and have actual explanations behind them other than "lol they are just gay!" and they only stand out if you are a fujoshit yourself or insecure and so are the fanservice moments between the girls which so far the most showy thing we have gotten is that one shower scene
>>124856136
LN was selling well, so I don't think it's an issue.
Fujoshi like Shinoa. They can actually relate to her while not being intrusive
What they don't like is Krul and that other fat tit girl
Either way, everyone knows the real heroine is Yoichi
>>124854785
>show is doing embarrassingly bad for the budget
How do you know what the budget is?
>>124855849
I don't know what you're talking about, but thanks for the shitpost.
>>124856285
It's on hiatus.
>>124856330
>Fujoshi like Shinoa.
Good one
>They can actually relate to her while not being intrusive
Except for the part where she is guaranteed to end up with MC unless they all die at the end.
I even saw some delusional landwhales complaining about how they thought Mika/Yuu was endgame at the beginning and that now the manga is all of a sudden focusing on Yuu/Shinoa
I mean fucking seriously
>>124856006
>if the anime is a flop they won't make more
That's not how these adaptions work
>>124856493
>endgame canon landwhales
Bitches need to learn to relax. Homo main characters don't fly in shonen.
What do you guys find appealing in Shinoa? She's a fucking annoying dick. If someone treated you like that in real life it would be awful
I like this smug slut
>>124856654
She makes fun of him because she likes him
>>124856654
The "put yourself in MC-kun's shoes" argument doesn't work when you're dealing with people who also probably love NTR.
>>124856493
I don't see Shinoa/Yuu being end game. She's like Ferris from Legend of Legendary Heroes, also by the same author
Although, you are right in that that people expecting this to be a full blown BL story are going to be very disappointed.
>>124856654
You have it backwards. I'm self inserting into the smug bitch making fun of Yuuichirou. Hes fucking annoying.
>>124856700
I don't think she's going to be popular with fujoshi or MRA types
>>124856783
The fuck? People think there's BL going on here?
>>124856654
>treated you
It's not about how I want to be treated, it's about how I enjoy seeing obnoxious edgelord shounen protagonists being treated. She gives the MC the dumping on that he so desperately needs and s adorable all the while.
You'd have to be mentally ill or a delusional teenager to self-insert as Yuu.
>>124856330
I respectfully disagree.
Asuramaru > Krul >>> Shinoa > Other girls
Mika > Yuu >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ferid the pedo >>>> That Michael Jackson vampire dude
As a fujoshi the grills on this show are cuter than the boys but the shipping faggotry is better between the 2 MCs then Shinoa/Yuu which is shit tier, though Krul/Mika has actual merits.
So
Asuramaru >> Krul = Mika >>>> everyone else.
Shinoa also has an... interesting VA and they chose the colours of the flames on her badass scythe badly. Orange and black/green clash pretty badly, what's with that colour scheme? Should have just kept it black/black/green
>>124856783
No one is going to end up with anyone, the story but there will be shipbaiting al the way.
>>124833333
Checked
>>124832825
I'm not saying that scythe looks fucking useless, but it looks fucking useless.
>>124856827
I don't personally, but Mika does lay it on pretty thick in the first ep.
He's literally saying shit like "let's run away together"
>>124856733
>sh-she makes fun of him because she l-likes him...
>>124856035
>>124856136
But this is not anime original, are you retarded? this is anime based on shounen manga who sold around 250k or more every volumes so far, which means the show has above 250k potential buyers if they didn't buy the anime doesn't mean it is failure they already have the manga why buy the anime that have same contents only hardcore and newfags will buy the anime and the manga sales increase too when the newfags decide to buy manga
>>124856876
Where are the periods, anon?
Sentences are supposed to end in periods.
>>124856865
>he's literally saying shit like let's run away together
No shit. They were being held captive by vampires. Why would they not want to run away with their friends? Context much?
>>124856828
He gets enough shit from Guren, if you ask me. It seems like Guren has physically wrecked Yuu's shit at least once every episode since ep2.
No need for Shinoa to publicly humiliate him on top of that.
i want to breed smug
>>124856939
Get in line
>>124856783
Shinoa has a bigger chance than Ferris ever did
Ferris is more comparable to Mitsuba than Shinoa
>>124856654
I like her because fucking the smug out of her would be glorious
>>124856932
Guren is also an obnoxious fuck. Some nazi playboy acting like a histrionic teenager that desperately needs to tell the world how little he cares while fascist feudalism carries him to the top echelon of military command.
That whole 'meeting' scene was difficult to sit through.
>>124856654
The question is what do you not find appealing about someone treating you like that?
>people deluding themselves that the anime will continue as long as the manga and LN are doing well
You can find a few examples, but those are rare outliers.
Unless sales pick up, it's done after the second cour, and that second cour is only coming because they were so sure that the BDs and DVDs for this adaptation were going to kick ass on the sales charts that it was planned ahead of time.
>>124856838
I agree, no one is going to end up with anyone.
Somehow I've started to ship Shinoa/Mika. I know it's wrong but right now I don't like anything else.
>>124856654
She's a breath of fresh air in the ocean of overly violent tsundere, stupid genki and ultra shy doormat heroines.
Being extremely cute helps, too.
>>124856928
You're missing the point. Take for example the scene where they're eating curry. In the actual audio when Mikaela is talking about their future together, he uses "us two", not including the others.
>>124841126
Ichigo is believeable
This mother fucker is constantly yelling give me thing without wanting to put in the training so he can actually control the thing
>>124856850
>I'm not saying that scythe looks fucking useless, but it looks fucking useless.
It was the best looking weapon in the entire manga over the boring normal swords, the Pokemon bow and the daggers which are and the axe which looked boring.
>>124857014
>Guren is also an obnoxious fuck.
That's beside the point, but I agree with you.
>>124857042
Yes, he wanted to run away with his best friend
>>124857058
He's confident and overeager, that doesn't stop him from being an unbelievable character.
>>124857039
>Shinoa/Mika
Kind of like the idea of that too. When all else fails just turn to crack shipping
>>124856928
>>124857113
He doesn't stop saying it, though. And he's really obsessively fixated on Yuu in the manga. I mean, I do agree that it's definitely not gonna be actual homo, but I can see where people are getting this shit from.
>>124822179
Uguu~ am I cute?
>>124857041
>ultra shy doormat
This is my least favorite type of main heroine, and they show up way too often.
>>124857127
doesn't stop him from being believable*
>>124856932
It is not like anything Guren said gets through his head. Shinoa says she wants to make him more popular in the class, also it can motive yuu to learn kanji next time
>>124857037
I don't even understand why this argument is being had, right now there is barely even enough manga to make up the split cour they're making right now. Look at Ao no Exorcist (which runs in the same magazine), they also made that anime too early but the anime sold fine and the manga sells well too (better than OnS I think?) but four years later and there's not a second season in sight. So it's really pointless for anyone to be thinking of another season for this.
>>124857164
>Shinoa says she wants to make him more popular in the class
Merely a ruse.
>>124857032
Do you not have friends, anon? Poor guy
>>124857042
Boku tachi can refer to a lot of people not just two. What the fuck are you on about, Mika wasn't gonna abandon the other kids
>>124857157
and /a/ usually love that kind of heroines especially when they are muh mc's dick
>>124857235
He didn't say "bokutachi", he said "bokura futari".
>>124857149
The boy's not very sane on the head though. At least Yuu has a new family and friends, but he has to deal with his familiy's assassin and a manipulative loli on a dialy basis. Also the bloodthirst.
To Mika, Yuu is the only piece holding his sanity. Obviously he has become obsessed.
>>124857293
You're right, but it still looks pretty gay regardless, which is the point. It's not just people completely pulling shit out of thin air like it is with some series.
>>124857127
the equivalent is saying some kid doesn't want to go through training to go to war
>>124857356
Though really you hardly have to justify anything. Vampires are old-time universal eroticism.
>>124857149
He is fixated because he literally has no one else to turn to. Unlike Yuu he has no friends to rely on, he is constantly in pain due to not drinking blood and the guilt of getting the other kids killed still eats him away, not to mention he literally turned into the very thing he hates
The way he acts makes perfect sense if you just loosen up the fujo goggles
>>124857364
I mean, that's exactly what he's been saying for quite some time.
Is Yuu a retard? Sure! I'm pretty sure both the audience and every character in the show knows that.
But I don't see how that breaks suspension of belief. Both his confidence and stubbornness are well-justified.
>>124857364
The problem is that the kid does have the skill to back his shit up
>>124857356
Anon they constantly call each other family and they think of each other as brothers. If Mika had even half of the things Yuu currently has, he would not act like this
>>124857407
>>124857149
This is so stupid.
Hes a bishounen vampire who is hopelessly obsessed with his childhood friend and wants to run away together.
This isn't coincidence. Its b8. The author decided he wanted this setup, and everything else is written to justify this setup. Thats how writing works. If it looks like b8 for fujoshi dollars, it probably is.
>>124857596
I don't think anyone other than fujos really believe that a homo ending is feasible, all he's saying is that the subtext is there.
>>124857395
That's a good point as well. Vampires have long been associated with the lewd and the risque so it's not really strange to see people extrapolating the relationship like that.
>>124857407
I'm not wearing any googles, man, I already told you I don't think it's actually homo. I'm just saying it's not as farfetched as you're claiming. It's not difficult to see gay undertones (or occasionally overtones) in a lot of the shit involving Mika and Yuu.
>>124857573
But not the mental fortitude to obtain a demon curse weapon
>>124857686
Yes he does
Read the fucking manga
>>124857686
Yuu might not be particularly smart, but I would actually say "mental fortitude" is one of his strengths. For one thing, it's the only way to explain his sheer capacity for bullheadedness.
Mika's going to end up like this guy, is he?
>>124857634
The author just likes this type of stuff, see Legend of the Legendary Heroes. The fujobucks are an added bonus.
>>124857149
You take two children, put them through a terrible trauma, separate them. Give one love an attention and keep the other isolated and alone. The isolated one ends up being broken, obsessing over whatever thin hope he had for staying sane. The loved one gets over his trauma and gets on with his life.
This whole show is a realistic Nazi experiment on children. Mika's naïve obsession makes perfect sense really.
>>124857794
I don't mind it, but acting like this is pure coincidence is like saying Vampire Knight just happens to look like shoujo.
>>124857686
He has the skill and ability to obtain a weapon, his main issue is working with a team. He keeps trying to go solo despite how hard everyone else is pushing teamwork.
>>124857785
I hope not. I don't want to have to read more timeline graphs.
>>124857699
I think we are talking about different things now. From what Yuu claims of his goals, Guren is right to assume he hasn't the mental fortitude to obtain a demon curse weapon. But Yuu does and that's because >>124842142
>>124857922
It doesn't help that Guren's watched Yu act like a fucking dumbass for the last four years.
>>124858040
You can't expect a kid to raise a kid right
>There are people that think Yu is an edgy idiot
>There are people that think Shinoa is actually malicious
Holy shit, has watching nothing but haremshit actually made people retarded?
>>124858364
He is an idiot, though. That much is inarguable.
