What did Yura do wrong?

She was playing the game to win, not to have fun.

>>137833694
Winners have the most fun.

>>137833183
The truth, Yura, is that you're here because you wanted to feel like something you're not: a hero.

>>137833183
Cutting her hair.

>>137834169
What are you, gay?

>>137833183
Using Croatshit.

>>137834169
I prefer spunky short haired Yuna.

>>137833924

that's just how people who have no other redeeming qualities live with themselves. The truth is if you take the joy out of any GAME to the point where only winning matters then you must be a pretty shitty person to start with.

>>137834342
That's backward. Losers comfort themselves with "A-at least I had fun" or "At least I tried" to deal with the pain of losing. There is fun to be had in trying to win. There is joy to be had in winning.

See, you getting upset over someone's character tells you you're just upset you don't win.

>>137833183
I mean this ironically: nothing.

Sonora was a cunt who bitched at Yura for no reason in her first official match. Yura was scared, it's only a game, so Sonora should have cooled the fuck down and not made out surrendering to be the worst thing in the world when the message up to then was just to have fun. Then she bitches at Yura for getting too into it.

Then the team bitches at Yura for finally taking the game seriously. And then when they win by false means and Yura owns up to it, they bitch at her again, even though they wouldn't have even come close to winning without Yura's efforts.

Frankly, she didn't deserve to be shit on as much as she did.

>>137833183
Literally nothing wrong at all

>>137834523
Unironically*

She wanted to impress her senpais so badly that she went full tilt into winning only matters. Reminds me of try hards who pay way to much attention to criticism and change at the drop of a hat just to try and get on your good side because they don't wanna be alone. In real life that person would likely never get it because people would just stop dealing with them instead of going out of their way to make them realize they're being retarded.

>>137834523
I kinda agree with this. Yuri didn't know what to do with herself and the girls didn't really know what they wanted from her either, if this were a more realistic anime Yuri probably would of committed suicide at the end as she clearly had a whole lot of mental issues people like her, people who post on /a/ tend to have.

Overall it was a complicated mess of an anime that resolved itself in a lazy and wacky way as if to say "Jokes on you! We were only pretending to be dramatic!"

>>137834481
If you enjoy winning something by menially following the taught procedures like a robot, it's not worth it in the first place.

>>137834669
>"Your victory doesn't matter because (excuses)."

I wish we could go back before '09 when haircuts weren't a necessary step for character development. It was enjoyable seeing her play with her hair.

>>137834523
I dislike taking the reactions to the binary extremes though. Unless you're literally autistic, nobody is going to act like that.

She didn't realize that when normals do something, they don't do it seriously. It's only a means for socialization and sex, they don't truly care about the activity.

>>137834523
This. Everyone around her either gave her mixed signals or was no help at all. Yura wouldn't know what to do.
>just have fun lol
Okay
>no, you need to take this more seriously
O-okay
>waah you're too serious, it's not fun anymore

>fuck these casuals, the only thing that matters is winning
Right

>what are middlegrounds?
Like fuck, don't just crawl up into a ball and bitch out, but you don't need to become a war criminal just to win.

>>137834993
Thing is she's too fucked up to figure out a middle ground because she's lived a secluded existane and apparently some weird reality changing powers. Seriously, the fuck was up with that? It was unexplained and the fact that the show ended with her revealing that ability to her friends and them just fucking around with it to fight aliens, pirates and robots made it seem like it's a power just anyone can do. Nobody questions it, nobody asks questions, they just roll with it. Ganiex mentally fucked me one last time before dying and I felt like a dirty slut for liking it.

>>137834993
A socially retarded, insecure girl is going to instinctively understand that. Just like /a/ doesn't seclude themselves in their mancaves and swear off 3d.

>>137834523
Sonora told her to enjoy the game, to have fun even if she loses. Yura decide to not have fun at all, as long as she win. That is exact opposite, of what was she told.

Only bad thing Sonora did, was not stopping Yura when she ran away to Mesei. And she did regret that later.

Fuck, the worst part about this show is that I am constantly reminded of my disappointment in The Line.

>>137835123
Yura became serious after Sonora bitched at her after Yura's first game for not taking things seriously. Then, predictably, Sonora bitched at her for being serious.

>>137835438
So spec ops isn't a fun game then?

If you were disappointed, then it did its job.

>>137835468
I would not recommend it. The gameplay is mediocre as fuck and the story simply doesn't work in its intended function (unless you have very little self-awareness, I imagine).

>>137835556
I do not believe for a second that the developers intended to make a bad game.

>>137835594
You're right. It isn't a bad game. It's supposed to be art. But hey, this isn't /v/ .

>>137835444
Yura became serious after having a nightmare, in which everybody would abandon her if she will not get good. After being told the opposite. It's not Sonora's fault at all.

>>137835679
Yes, cute deflection.

Nothing. She was USED from the beginning and then dumped by everyone and then made out to be the bad guy and it was bullshit. She started insecure, shy, she was just trying to get along in school. She could have done that. Instead she got dragged through repeated, concerted effort into participating in this sport that involves simulated war that she had zero previous exposure too by a bunch of weapon nuts who were all senior. Okay fine, she has a chance to get some confidence, make some friends, get some exercise, and overall have a good time. Except then they teach her jack shit in terms of anything but technical skills, shit on her every which way as she tries to make them happy, start to finish. They had lots of chances to actually act like the experience senpai they were and set things right but never did, then she's the problem. Fucking stupid.

>>137835822
And this is why Sabagebu was the better cute girls with guns manga and anime.

>>137834816
>She didn't realize that when normals do something, they don't do it seriously. It's only a means for socialization and sex, they don't truly care about the activity.
You forgot that in addition normals lie about that too. They'll still CLAIM they're doing it seriously and that they care, and then they'll get angry if someone else does it better and tell them to "lighten up". If Yura had more life experience she'd realize the rest of the club just wanted another useful warm body and didn't actually sink that much of themselves into it, but she didn't so she got taken in. Such is life in high school for someone coming from the sticks.

>>137835887
I don't think anyone is going to disagree with you.

>>137833694
She needs to team up with the brothers from Build Fighters.

>>137835887
Yeah, it actually knew what it wanted to be and just had fun with it. Whereas this just had no idea, or they wanted to pull some "looks light but isn't thing" and really failed to make it all gel and progress logically.

Yeah. I was so disappointed in this show because of this. Sabsagebu made it all better though.

Still, Kari and Rento were a best. Would have been better in any other anime. In fact, Rento seemed like she had wandered onto the set from another show and didn't belong there.

Imagine if Yura had just been roommates with someone from the flower club or tea club or something instead. Or the art club maybe, reality warping imagination would probably be pretty darn handy there. She could have been happy and not jerked around.

>>137836061
>Subsagebu
the fuck. that's not what I typed. Whatever.

Poor Yura had low self-esteem. She just wanted to be liked and to like herself. She did everything for that.

Shit, were they going for female Shinji Ikari?

>>137834816
She was hanging out with the geeks though.

>>137836063
But you didn't picked up anime about gardening, you picked up anime about airshit, so what exactly are you complaining about?

>>137836061
Whatever the fuck happened to Rento's seiyuu? Her voice was boner-inducing.

>>137834752
>>137834481

Congratulations you won a meaningless worthless game no one will remember in a years time. You devoted your life to a worthless pursuit meanwhile everyone who hung around with the cool fun kids will remember them always as the cool kid who was fun to be around.

Change of careers.

>>137836174
Where? Because if you mean the airsoft club then hell no. Those were energetic people with a niche hobby but very much normals, not geeks. They were extroverted, socially adjusted, often popular, etc. The only one who had the geek mindset there was Yura herself, from her insecurity at the start to her deep dive once she got into it to her inability to understand that when others asked her to do something she wasn't supposed to take it 100% seriously.

>>137836247
You couldn't sound saltier if you tried. Even friends compete with each other, autist. Sorry you have to daydream about good times while simultaneously being bad at everything you do.

Never thought of it that way, but I guess they did.

>>137836201
She did Say 'I Love You' in 2014 then dropped off the face of the earth. Looks like she was in modeling. Maybe she gave up being seiyuu and went back to it. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5477474/

>>137835962
I think the only real problem was the ending which was just completely horrible and stupid in every way. They should've jettisoned the unimportant club members out of the story entirely.

Yeah now she was someone who knew what was up. Yura would have had more fun on her team.

>>137836409
Yeah, though given what a trainwreck of "we have no fucking clue what we wanted to do with this show" the entire thing was I guess it oddly kind of fit. Total whiplash yet again? Sure, whatever you say Gainax.

>>137836546
But it was set up and then they did nothing with it. That was frustrating. There was a really clear ending that should've happened and it didn't.

In my mind, the way this show happened was that some writer got put on a project he didn't give a fuck about for an adaptation of something unpopular with no story. So they created this character story about Yura's insecurities and frustrations, and at the very last episode, a producer went "what the fuck" and ran the whole thing back. I think boredom and confused marketing are the only motivations that could result in this clusterfuck.

>>137836707
I'm willing to believe drugs might have been involved as well.

I'm glad I dropped this after the 11th episode

>>137835438

>>137835468
It's a masterpiece.
It's not very good at being a shooting video game, though.
