Where have all the great anime heroines gone, /a/?
>>147114315
Magical Girl Valhalla
>>147114364
Do they get drunk and molest viking boys for the glory of Odin-chan?
They would get in the way of the self-insert male MC, only moe girls to waifu are allowed.
>>147114315
And where are all the Goddesses?
>>147114468
if they like
or tea and cakes with mami
>>147114491
Look at this girl.
She is small, cute and very moe.
She even has a handsome husbando for people to self-insert as.
Is this not acceptable?
>>147114315
they're unrealistic sexual objects created by misogynists and should be banned
>>147115004
You're an unrealistic sexual object.
>>147114690
Who are you calling small?
>>147115417
No one.
And she definitely doesn't spook dragons. Or have a flat chest.
>>147115004
Wrong character for that post. Birdy is not for sexual. Birdy is for big sister dynamic, nothing more.
>>147115004

>neither of these was a new IP
I'm convinced it's both OP trying his hardest to get his thread noticed, even if he has to /pol/ bait to do it.
You are a disgusting slut, even if you aren't OP.
>>147115474
Birdy a best.
>>147115516
I'll own up to being OP and >>147115218. I can't speak for the guy I was replying to, though. I'd rather the thread die than deteriorate into a /pol/ or /v/ tier argument, if I'm honest.

In Love Live
There were never that many to begin with, there aren't that many great male characters either when you think about it. Or at least that's how I feel.
>>147117891
You may have a point. At this point I'd settle for a cool girl who isn't horribly overshadowed by less interesting characters, but even those seem to be in fairly short supply lately.
>>147114315
Too strong for beta otaku and won't sell.
>>147118256
Best answer
>>147118434
Those tits wouldn't sell?
>>147118256
It's just finding them amidst the mass of mediocre and bland characters, it requires luck.
Only good anime has good heroines. Good anime doesn't sell, only otaku-pandering trash does.
>>147118678
True, but it seems even more sparse lately. I'm trying to think of anyone from the past couple of years and I'm drawing a blank.
>>147118561
Sadly, tits only don't sell. Japanese otalu are damn peculiar. Also japanese are going to be extinct in a few decades for a reason.
>>147114315
Don't worry anon, Natsuo will come to our rescue.
>>147114315
S3 when?
>>147115004
I don't think japan has any concern for that stuff
>>147122012
What was the gap between the OVAs and Decode? Probably the same amount of time.
So only like another 10 years or so.
>>147118678
>12 Kingdoms
I finally got around to starting this, does it take long for the main character to get badass? She's kind of annoying.
>>147115004

>>147124284
It's been 8 years since Decode anon...
>>147128880
Well it was 12 years between the OVAs and Decode.
So just another 4 years now. Maybe.
>>147129321
We can only dream.
>>147124284
>>147128880
Im going to lose my fucking mind.
>>147130927
Here, have a wallpaper to calm you down.
It's how I'm passing the time until the next season.
Yuri.
Did they ever translate the manga for this? I loved the shit out of the old OVA and I heard the manga is kinda in the same realm.
>>147132926
I think they stopped translating it. rip
>>147114315
Man, I want to fuck little Birdy so much. That flashback where she's taking a bath, damn.
>>147132950
Somebody logged into Shion's Batoto account back in July.
I don't think they're dead, I think they just dropped it.
>Erin
>Major Kusanagi
>Balsa
Production IG used to make great strong reliable heroine character.

Great taste

Thanks anon.
>>147134743
And that's a gif I don't already have.
Thanks to you too anon.
>>147134811
One more for ya.

HNNNNGGGG
Her expressiveness turned my dick to diamond. Fuckin' loved this.
>>147135026
You'll enjoy this then.
They're still here, anon.
>>147114315
From a producer and loser bitches who want strong women standpoint?
Strong women = violent dominant liptsick/skinimax lesbians.
And there are entire fucking franchises made of nothing but that trash out there.
Last gen had that valkyrie drive thing and it had "strong women"
The other strong women?
Generic waifu bait tuff heroines. Not as cheap and trashy as the aforementioned ones, but they're up there.
The strong woman archetype has been synthesized to their most marketable essence.
Best part?
You stupid thirsty bastards/bastardettes are eating that shit up with a spoon.
>>147119249
Wifi signals, forcing lesbianism on young girls, boys being groomed into being betas who'd rather jack off to fantasies and play games, the older generation infantalizing the younger while not creating a future for them, the young not wanting to take the place of their self flagellating elders, and creepy creepy creepy ass porn.
>>147115004
False flagging is a terrible thing, desu senpai
>>147135250
Who would you say is a good female character then?
Birdy a best.
>>147114315
>Absolutely love Birdy's character design.
>Get around to watching LoK.
>Instantly consider Korra to be chocolate Birdy.
>Now have two waifus and conflicted feelings to boot.
>mfw
>>147137192
>anything
>better than the best
>>147114315
The OVA is objectively superior.
Also she has better design in the OVA
>>147137192
>Korra
>two waifus
Poor trolling or unhindered retardation.
Either way you can fuck right off to /co/.
>>147137307
I haven't watched Decode yet, but the OVA a best.
>>147137369
Decode has its moments.
>>147120326
WHY IT HAD TO END
WHY THE MANGAKA HAD TO GO ILL
>>147137307
Why didn't they continue the OVA? I thought that it would've spawned a show within' that time period at least.
>>147114315
Out of the sight of your eyes clouded with nostalgia, you absolute fucking tosspot.
>>147137849
The original manga was 10 chapters, so it used up all the source material.
>>147138069
>>147137849
And of course after that the manga was abandoned by the creator until 2003.
Maybe he got distracted by Patlabor.
>>147138470
Patlabor is on my list to watch.
Is it good?
>>147126966
Her character development is great, keep watching.
>>147138069
Goddamn I love her original character design so much. I want to re-watch the OVAs, haven't seen them in years.
>>147135368
>forcing lesbianism on young girls
ehhhhhh
>>147140980
I don't have the mega that someone shared on /m/ where I got it several months ago, but there's somequasi-legal blackhole sitesthat you could use to watch it.
>>147141119
Well, you can't exactly force it on young boys.
>>147141382
Anon, do you take me for for some kind of redditor or crossboarder /v/ermin streamfag?
I have a modest 1TB+ archive of animu and it includes those OVAs.
>>147141835
I was feeling charitable, sue me.
You don't need sleep tonight, speedwatch that goodness.
Is the manga translated
>>147114315
No clue. I think Balsa was the last great one I saw.
>>147139091
Patlabor is a fantastic SoL show pretending to be a fantastic mecha show. OVA1 and the movies are their own thing, TV and OVA2 form a very loose adaption of the manga.
Noa is best Patlabor, by the way. You will know why.
>>147135368
I'm confused, are we talking about Japan or America?
>>147135250
>>147135368
This shit is almost completely incomprehensible. Anyone care to translate?
>>147138042
Is Asami actually good? Does she get decent screentime or is she overshadowed? I meant to pick up Active Raid at somepoint but I never got around to it.
I like the "Buddy Cop" Dynamic Birdy and Tsutomu have in the OVA. He's a wimp, but he still man's up when he needs to and helps Birdy with protips during fights. Decode made him too wishy-washy, and the manga made him into too much of a prick and Birdy too dumb.
BD when?
>>147137312
Hey now. Korra is a good show if you eliminate all scenes where the characters talk.
Why is the 90's Birdy OST so perfect?

Man I though that I was alone rewatching birdy's OVAs every now and then.
Decode brought us a richer character, but still I still hold a place for Birdy from the OVAs
>>147143958
I still dont know why I watched Korra, but even as characters go, Birdy is miles beyond Korra. dont even get me started not on the ending, but on the creator's explanation of it.
>>147143807
is there any site that have Birdy manga complete in a archive format
All I get is those shitty sites where you have to slowly and painfully read it while being bombarded with atrocious web design
>it's a Birdy OVA elistist's Birdy Thread
fuck
All Birdys are best Birdys
>>147114315
Gone with lina inverse
What are the best Birdy releases available?
>>147143623
She talks shit and calls other people shit. Also, she goes maximum over-hammy.
Strong independent wymin fighting against waifufags.
>>147145929
Arguing over which version is better is the only thing that keeps these threads alive.
>>147148693
>>147148729
She just seems kind of reckless and incompetent, to be honest.
>>147151088
She's not really incompetent. Reckless, yes, definitely.
