General Thread Samba Girl edition

>>1874654
Girlfriend was amazing. After seeing the premise of the game I was expecting the anime to just be the worst harem ever, so I was very pleasantly surprised when I learned they went in a completely different direction and just made it a show about a million girls being hella gay with each other. I want to shake the hand of whoever came up with that.

>>1874726
Haha! Reminds me of the Koihime Musou series. The original premise is 100% hetero harem, little else. The anime creator was stupendously kind, or maybe a yuri fan. Pretty much, the entire anime (all seasons) is "Girls' love" (to different degrees) basically.

>>1874726
Not only that, Girl Friend Beta was actually a good show, that really developed her core cast and tries its best to give depth to the lots and lots of supporting girls.

>>1874726
It wasn't, well, "amazing", but I don't get why so many people shit on it. Haremfags couldn't appreciate CGDCT?

>>1874883
>shitting on GirlFriends Beta
What? It had a gymnast doing gymnast things, a LOT of cute girls that were NOT clones of each other (holy shit) and Miss Motherfucking Monochrome.

Whoever shat on it must have a terminal case of shit taste.

Yeah, they can't. But mostly they were yurihaters.

It was a good show for us.

>>1874884
People just shit on anything that dares to have a specific appeal instead of pandering directly to the average anime fan. Look what happened with Classroom Crisis, which is awesome if you care about business. So of course the shonen action addicts put it down the whole time for being slow and boring (when really it's quite exciting).

>>1874930
Funny you mention Classroom Crisis. I actually liked the business part of it. What I didn't like was the sudden love triangle in the last episodes. That was bullshit.

Arachnid chapter 55 is going GREAT

>>1874939
I Noticed the spike in /u/ related content in that chapter.

What's the news on the next Murcielago release?

>>1874942
I sure hope so!

Gagantous.

There's also a fair bit of "moeshit" paranoia. People are still haunted by this moe boogeymyn, so they flip out when they see what they perceive as "moe". Especially when it happens to their supposed "real deal" shows. What they fail to realize is how much of a minority it really is, so it's actually a truly special thing when it happens.

>>1874939
Yup, what I like of this chapter is similar to a oneshot of a girls seducing other and bringht her to home

http://kireicake.com/2015/09/25/arachnid-chapter-55/

>>1874942
Oki vanishes off the face of the earth and does not appear in the untranslated chapters so far.

But Yoriko becomes a legit love interest and turns out to be the real Organization boss. Her bug is the female of the twisted-wing parasite, she's over a hundred years old and has been involved in WWII. The old dude who looked like her father in the flashback is actually her adopted son. Yes, really.

As of the latest chapter, even Alice gave up on figuring out the plot of Arachnid.

>>1874935
Not the person you quoted, but that love triangle is the reason why I've been reluctant to watch the last two episodes ... I liked the show and it feels like this is gonna ruin the good impression I have.

>>1874935
>>1875217
Well, that is just too bad. As much as Classroom Crisis is not built for a Shonen crowd, it also isn't built for the "Real-deal" aesthetic crowd, who loves to gatekeep shows they zoned on (like crankily insisting how a show isn't "like this" or "like that", when people are trying to talk about a series from a separate viewpoint that is not their "Serious business" one.) or get upset when it winds up not 100% running their way. I'm sure there are many others who appreciate the romance given together with other noteworthy things and they deserve to have theirs as well.
>>1874976
What I love about the anime industry is that they don't give a fuck about what the noisy whiners from everywhere else thinks. They just make them. You like them, take them. You don't like them? You are free to leave them. But, as usual, it's asking too much for anime fans to take a more mature approach, and accept the existence of a variety of shows, because everyone likes different things. Everyone has to get mad at how a show isn't built for ME and MY TASTE only (And why should it? You are not the only person watching anime.). Whether it's "Moe" or "Real-deal", or "Insert any genre" you can think of.

>>1875265
>I'm sure there are many others who appreciate the romance given together with other noteworthy things and they deserve to have theirs as well.
I don't mind romance. The problem is the last-minute love triangle. It wasn't developed and came out nowhere. It has little to do with my preferences. It was just badly written.

>>1875265
>What I love about the anime industry is that they don't give a fuck about what the noisy whiners from everywhere else thinks.
They give lots of fucks about the Japanese fanbase. They cater to them pretty aggressively actually.

>>1875274
>everywhere else = non-japan.
Actually, they care about sales figures the most. Data correlates a lot with what they tend to produce. Though once in-awhile, they do make things that are different, regardless if it does well or bombs.

>>1875275
So basically you say that since we're not Japanese and anime producers don't give a damn about what we think, we should just shut up and accept what we get.

Well, I think that's bullshit. Maybe our opinion doesn't matter, but I think there's value in expressing it anyway. If I think a show sucks, I'm going to say so. And if that bothers you, you may gtfo.

>>1875265

I agree with this so hard that I'm afraid to make this post because someone is just going to think you're samefagging. But I have to say it.

>>1875282
Not that person, but I think that Japanese people generally turn out to have much better taste than non-Japanese people. So I'm glad that regardless of how hard stupid Americans whine about how anime should be this way or that way, they can't actually affect anything. It's only Japan that determines the direction in which things go, and I'm satisfied with where they've been taking it. Sure, yes, you make a good point about there being value in expressing opinions, but when I think about how consistently I see absolutely awful opinions from the western anime fanbase, I realize that this is one case where I am so glad they don't matter to Japan. They just have NO IDEA what they are talking about when it comes to anime. That's how I feel, anyway.

>>1875303
>They just have NO IDEA what they are talking about when it comes to anime.
For the most part, the Japanese have no idea either. Their taste matter just because they pay for it.

>>1875299
Being in the Japanese language and being mostly available in the Japanese market is why they don't care about outside opinion even if they had time to translate it.

That why we call it "anime" and "manga" to describe it instead of "animation" and "comics".

Which is good because their industry would stagnate from every moral watchdog who wants to tell them what's appropriate.

And don't forget, some don't like same-sex relations.

>>1875313
>same-sex relations.
It's not really that much of a bother, because they view it entertainment-wise, quite a bit differently from what other people think they do. RL is a vastly different matter.

I dropped everything airing this season other than a couple shows(NNB, Gangsta, and DRRR), what's worth watching for the gay?

Gakkou Gurashi and Prisma Illya I already know what to expect because I read the manga.

>>1875322
Gakkou Gurashi actually has some variations in its anime version that largely work for the better, so it's worth checking out even if you're up to date with the manga.

>>1875321
Still female. The character description outright states that character is male.

About Dandelion, some girls had lesbian cumcubines like Akane with Karen, pic related, also Aoi had three, and Hikari had one
the anime going original ending and make the Older brother become the king so the yuri keep save, howewer I don't like Shuu winning the eletion because it was forced and Kill the chance of Akane become the king
Umaru had Kirie who is gay and Sylphy who is also gay for Umaru

>Mugino
Ah, sorry, never mind.

>Hanayamata getting dubbed
Most impressive. The last CGDCT anime (if Hanayamata properly is one such anime, that is) I remember dubbed was Lucky Star.

Why Hanayamata, though? Why not, say, Gochiusa or Kiniro Mosaic?

>>1875491
It's less gay and with more drama.
Who cares though?

>>1875491
Kiniro Mosaic would be a hell of dubbing with the english. And too gay stuff doesn't generate that many sales in the west, so Hanayamata is okay for the people that watches dubs, is a lot lower in the gay scale compared to the other 2.

>>1875393
I'm actually glad Akane didn't win because she doesn't have any real motivation to become king. She only wanted to become just to get rid the surveillance cameras and that's it. The other reason why I'm glad she didn't win because if Akane win and become king than it would be so cliche because she's the main character.

>>1875582
Really? Well I better start reading the manga because I like the anime, and I want to know what the studio cut out from the manga. And I was going for either Shuu or Kanade to win.

>>1875593
Yeah, some /a/non posted it on /a/ in the thread for the final episode.

>>1875558
Funny how people claim the west is more open about lezzies, when Japan is the one willing to buy the yuri stuff even more than the west does, it seems. Kiniro & Gochi sold much better numbers than Hanayamata and as you have it, both were gayer to boot.

What should have been in the non-existent linked post.

Do you REALIZE that VALKYRIE DRIVE: MERMAID is an anime?

>>1875629
Huh? Hanayamata was still pretty fucking gay though? Why is it being compared?

>>1875710
It only had Yaya and Machi.

>>1875320
Why are you here if you don't like it?

>>1875715
Huh? Everyone was so gay. It was definitely gay enough that people who are scared of gays are going to be put off by it. Kinmoza and Gochiusa are not any "worse" in terms of gay, they are basically on the same level. So. It's just that Hanayamata is what they chose. Not because of gay, but because that's what they wanted to do.

>>1875726
Everyone? I can say everyone was on Kinmoza and Gochiusa, but it's hard to think anything for other characters in Hanayamata besides the ones mentioned.

>>1875721
Can you really claim an industry that is despised by everyone other than socially maladjusted nerds who mostly just want a steady stream of samey imaginary girlfriends isn't stagnant? I do like the occasional gem and manga, which is a much healthier industry than anime.

>>1875729
I'm with the other anon, go re-watch it, everyone in Hanayamata was hella gay.

And now I'm going to have to listen to the OP again and get it stuck in my head for weeks, thanks a lot, bastards.

>>1875815
Ouch. The edge.

>>1875819
Edgy or not, it's true. Well, fine, there's the occasional crossover hit and children's shows, but it's overall not exactly a vibrant industry.

Valkyrie is supposed to air on Sept 27. At what time?

>>1875558
Because is gay is the reason for what they are dubbling, this is not 4kids

>>1875828
18:30 Japan time, but is gonna be at a special event on a theater

>>1875833
Then why Gochiusa isn't getting dubbed.

>>1875895
If your logic is 'Hanayamata got dubbed because it's inferior in gayness to Gochiusa and Kinmoza', then why did YKA get dubbed?

And why do you even care about dubs in the first place?

>>1875901
I don't. I'm following Mugino's logic that it was dubbed because it's gay. Then Gochiusa didn't?

>>1875902
That's just Mugino making a stupid counter as usual, in response to the argument that only the less gay shows are getting dubbed, which is stupid as well.

The dubbing choice isn't so much related to gayness but rather the kind of genre it is and whether the company think its worth spending money on. Outside of the really popular ones like Lucky Star and K-On!, SoL anime doesn't really get much in the way of dubs, while Hanayamata has a bit more drama in it to warrant that tag (it is a Kirara Forward title after all)

I agree. That post that said gay stuff doesn't generate sales is stupid, we are a country that legalized gay marriage. Like you said, it's dramas like Hanayamata and YKA that get dubbed, simply because people prefer drama to SOL.

>>1875968
Well, that's much better than "Madoka friendzoned Homura until she became God and then she realized Homura was mega gay but couldn't do anything because you can't be gay with God."

What happened to that, was she serious and got rejected or was she just joking or lying somehow?

>>1876088
Interesting.

>>1876089
It's basically because Mugino kept hope alive. I think he does a lot of good for this place.

>>1876091
What? No it wasn't, it was because of all the anons who insisted she'd grow out of it, or that teenagers don't even know what love is and she would come to understand that Kumiko is actually her true love.

>>1876093
Mugino inspired them, like George Washington inspired America to win the war with his great leadership.

>>1876089
Well, people aren't limited to liking just males or just females. She said that but ended up loving a girl. Simple as that.

Mugino does have a tendency to post images and say "look at how yuri this series is!" and then you jump in only to find out the series is aggressively het, and the two girls in his images are either the only yuri scenes in the entire series, or fall for boys later on, or similar stuff.

Well, someone posted this hilarious image a while back, at least.

>>1876203
Is it actually the case that it actually branched off from the light novel plot and did its own gay thing, faithfulness to the source material be damned? That would be pretty great.

I like Hibike quite a lot, but I don't think people should watch it for yuri. Or rather, they shouldn't watch for yuri between Reina and Kumiko, since the anime doesn't actually separate itself from the LN. Oboe x Flute (not shown in the anime but are in the LN) and Yuuko x Natsuki are couples to watch for.

>>1876208
Not the first time KyoAni did such shenanigans. Remember Chuu2?

>>1876244
I don't, as I have yet to watch it. What happened there?

Ironically, Free (both seasons) is the only KyoAni show I've actually finished in years.

>>1876260

>>1876260
One of the girls that would've lusted after the MC doesn't.
They added an original character and had her and the aforementioned girl above be very tsundere towards each other.

>>1876237
How can we read the LN if it's not translated? What the fuck.

>>1876262
>>1876271
They took two girls off the MC and made them gay for each other? That sounds great. That show always seemed fun so I guess that's another reason to try it.

>>1876205
I bet this dude's the kind of person that watched Sakura Trick and complained about all these girls lusting after each other instead of him/any self-insert that could've been there.

>>1876237
You mean the completely ordinary subtext couples that aren't shown much in the anime itself?

>>1876276
No, they took one girl off the MC and made her gay for another girl that doesn't exist in the LNs.
As for the series itself, there's simply not enough of those two to push through parts of it. For example, the second part of the first season, where the het romantic drama becomes too dense and certain parts of the second season, where the same happens.
S2 does have a lot more episodes with the two girls taking the focus, though.

>>1876282
The main romance is so awful I half suspect it's a secret parody of how icky the idealization of "moe" traits in a romantic partner can get. Rikka isn't that far from the ideal eroge heroine from Welcome to NHK.

>>1875964
I wouldn't say I hate anime in general, just most of it. No matter how unhealthy it is, the industry still creates the occasional great show and there's always manga. There's also enough socially maladjusted nerds of my kind on /u/ that I rather like this place.

>>1876311
Ah, so you're one of those people who says "Man I hate anime! Uh, except this and this and this. Oh, and that. And also that." You're just a big tsundere.

Oh if we're requesting help at this time, I'm looking for the one shot where a girl notices another girl on the bus. The girl leaves her chapstick and the other girl picks it up. Later on, her friends persuade her to come with them to check out boys from another school. While there she sees the girl from the bus, she's in the archery club and quite a few girls are watching her. The MC's friend notices her staring at the archery girl and says "oh, you like girls? that's cool." and brushes it off. MC is flustered but on the bus ride she sits next to the archery girl again. She musters up the courage to give her her chapstick, but realizes she has two identical chapsticks, one is hers which she obsessively used since she found the other girls. They both have the same amount in them which surprises the MC. Archery just smiles and takes one, using it immediately which makes the MC blush, because they might be indirectly kissing.

>Madoka friendzoned Homura until she became God
How? Homura never confessed to Madoka, How do you get friendzoned if you never confess and get rejected?

>>1876484
It was an unintentional friendzone and then when he became God she became able to read Homura's mind (God is able to hear and comprehend the thoughts of every being in existence simultaneously, it's in the Bible) and she realized what was up. Urobuchi later confirmed this in an interview.

>>1876503
Ohhh so that's why Rebellion happened. Godoka cant be gay with homura. so she let herself be captured by homura .... I luv Rebellion...

>>1876570
CITRON doujin when?

>>1876570
Rebellion is weird, just like Revelation in the Bible. It's basically just like, "Good luck figuring this out."

>>1876578
it's weird that madoka being god couldnt do anything on her will to escape or to have a premonition of her being catured. or... she wanted to be captured?....

>>1876581
God works in mysterious ways.

Yeah, if God gets captured it's all because of God's plan, because God IS omniscient and would in fact know. So God wants it to happen and lets it happen because of some higher purpose that we mortals cannot comprehend.

>>1876587
That's why omniscient characters are such a pain. Now, do we have any rumors about a sequel or something?

>>1876608
I have not heard a peep. I highly doubt it will ever get one.

>>1876626
The cow still has milk. They can't just leave it.

>>1876581
>>1876578
>>1876587

I think the problem here is that people read way too much into the word "god".
To begin with "kami" is a completely different word and doesn't entail the sort of omnipotence or all-powerful nature implied by "God". And then Madoka specifically is actually a pretty weak existence, her wish made her extremely powerful and able to exist across time and space, but only so that she can eliminate witches. Which is why she lost the second Homura passed beyond the realm of "witch", and why she couldn't possibly have known what was about to happen.

tl;dr Godoka is only all-powerful and all-knowing with regards to witches, in everything else she's essentially just an exceptionally strong magical girl, that's the limit of her wish.

On an unrelated note:

Anytime I hear this song and get to 0:45, I always think it's pretty gay.
Are my goggles on too tight?

>>1876633
Not when it's Urobuchi's cow. He kills it and replaces it with a different cow for shits and giggles, and then he proceeds to torture that cow.

The third movie was terrible and ruined the franchise while making it possible to milk more money out of it.

>>1876639
It probably did not help that gg's translations are shit and they were the most popular sub group at that time.

>>1876648
And yet, they have yet to do so. I've lost hope in any sequel to Rebellion by now. Still holding out for a second season of Yuuki Yuuna though.

>>1876654
gg's translations are still my favourite tbh

I am grateful, dear onee-sama. I just like how chipper her friend was about the whole gay thing.

With a lot of yuri shows recently ending we have a handful of new shows now starting. In October we have Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid (which thread fell off the board). and Yuru Yuri SanHai! premiering. Any others coming out have slipped my mind. What else is soon to come out (or might we have missed starting in late September)?

>>1877304
Gochuumon S2 and Hidan no Aria AA

>>1877304
>Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid
I don't know if anyone posted the new video clip back when the thread was still around (if the thread was around when the new clip came out).
I was hyped before, and now I'm even more hyped.

Wouldn't it be a weird twist if its revealed that blonde with red streak in her hair is the daughter of the two main characters and she's come back in time to protect them? (Chances are that she's actually red haired girl's mom).

>>1877306
>Gochuumon S2 and Hidan no Aria AA
Thanks!

So premiere dates are as follows:

Hidan no Aria AA and Yuyu Yuri October 6th

Gochuumon (Order Rabbit) and Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid October 10th

Looks likes Sunday/Monday and Thursday/Friday will be the yuri days of the week. Wonder if any sub groups have already committed to any of those shows...

Looks gay as hell. I'm new to this genre (and now SK, QB and the like seem like a waste of time, with how yuri this will be), but I hope those other girls she's defeating don't end up separated from their weapon/girlfriend as a result.

Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C3, so how gay is this? GuP level or KinMoza level?

>>1877416
A bit more than GuP, it's rare for things to be as gay as KinMoza.

>>1877519
What's up with people dropping that show one episode before the end? I haven't watched it but I keep hearing about that.

>>1877526
really? how yuri implicit is it? 76%? more? less?

>>1877532
It's one of those shows that doesn't even dodge around the gayness and fully embraces it. The catch is... well, you'll see. It doesn't go het or anything, but you'll see.

>>1877518
Enjoy your less-yuri Sabagebu.

>>1877536
Sabagaybu and C3 were going for completely different things despite both being about airsoft, it's not really fair to compare them.

>>1877507
From what I saw the manga was arguably even gayer, but it was also really short and when I checked (back when the show aired) it was barely translated. The anime was one of those adaptations that took the characters and basically made its own story with a different tone.

>>1877531
Because the 2nd to last episode wraps up the story perfectly, no loose ends at all.

Then the next episode is some fashion show or some shit. I was satisfied with the previous episode's ending so I just didn't want that real last episode to ruin the feelings I had.

>>1877563
Sounds similar to what they did with Medaka Box, actually. Well, not that the story is wrapped up in that but anyone who saw it knows what I mean.

I get the impression Gainax keeps getting one more episode than they actually need for some reason.

So what's with Sasameki Koto manga ending? Why Sumi and Kazama behave like they gonna be separated?

>>1878268
Because they're going to separate universities, aren't they? It's a couple of months since I reread it. But the impression I got was that they're serious about their future so they're taking the time apart so they can spend the rest of their lives together after.

>>1878268
Because they did. Kazama went to live with her grandmother. Sumi stayed behind. And they went to separate universities.

They'll still dating though, and it seems they meet each other pretty often too.

>>1878272
>>1878274
That explains it, thanks. I guess they got a kind of happy ending in the end. Wish there were few more pages about them in the future and more about kouhais too.

>>1878284
The atrocious pacing is my main issue with Sasameki Koto, it is a perfect example of how poorly paced a one-shot turned into a series can be. It spends so much time dragging its feet with the main plot and does not use any of that space to give resolution to side characters or show anything that happens after the main two get together. Also those side characters that were in a relationship the whole time whose names I forgot should have showed up more often I though they were the best. Overall I still enjoyed Sasameki Koto but it has some major flaws.

A cancerous faggot.

/u/, I'm trying to remember the name of a yuri manga.

It's about two girls who are friends, and one is in love with the other. The other dates a whole bunch of random girls but always breaks up with them right before holidays so that she can spend time with the friend, who is the one she actually cares about. It ends with the first girl realizing it and crying in an amusement park, forcing the other to confess her real feelings.

That's not fucking legit yuri, you Yuri Danshi.

>>1878504
This is that horrible story about a girl who starts out as a lesbian and is converted by a trap. There is nothing legitimate about this story, it is a fucking insult.

>>1878547
Can't be as bad as the same topic Maria Holic.

>>1878555
I thought that it was implied that Kanako gets together with the sister in the end of the manga. Did I hear wrong?

>>1878555
At least in Maria Holic the lesbian stays gay, just gets subject to all sorts of misery.
This one has the delightful plot gimmick of the trap needing to have the lesbian kiss him in order to not transform into a girl due to hoodoo bullshit or something. It's not pleasant.

>>1878555

You should know that is one of the most obscure slice of life shows out there that isn't ancient. I have literally never seen anyone talking about that for some reason, so I have no idea how it is. I hope it's good, let us know if you enjoy it.

From what I remember there were a few guys but no het teasing at all. It's a good show.

>>1878901
I don't remember any of the main girls liking guys, but there is a separate club where one of the girls has a crush on a guy in her club.

but this isn't funny, it's just sad... I kinda feel bad for him But I really like lesbians so fuck him

>>1876205
Sad, but that's how it goes with people like that. You're already playing pretend by self-inserting in the first place, so why not just self-insert as the girl that you identify the most with, even if you are male?

>>1879116
I don't feel bad for him at all. It takes a special kind of pathetic to post something like that.

>>1879127
The kind of pathetic that watches harems.

>>1879127
As a male, I feel that those kind of guys are scum. I just can't understand the act of "sefl-inserting". I really hope that the post was just someone trolling, someone as pathetic should be in a clinic getting treated instead of watching Chinese Cartoons.

>>1879129
>I just can't understand the act of "sefl-inserting".
You ever play an RPG? Video game or table top?

Same shit, really. Like I said above, you've basically just playing pretend. All it takes is to find a character that you can identify with a little bit and you tend to be good to go.

>>1879131
I haven't touched a board game since the early 90's and they never were RPG's. What I meant is that I can't understand why would anyone delude themselves into believing that that they are X character from Y thing. It doesn't make sense to me.

>>1879132
It's not that literal, at least in my estimation. It's more like taking empathy towards literary characters you like to the extreme conclusion.

>>1879132
>delude
Yeah, that's getting into the realm of legitimate psychological or sociological problems. I self insert depending on the material too, but it's not because I'm trying to run away or pretend I'm better than I am. I'm rather empathic when it comes to characters I can relate to, and I like feeling the same emotions as them, boy or girl makes no difference.

>>1879131
Your comparison would make more sense if modern videogamers weren't terrified of role playing. It's just fucking sad how online people won't even name their characters, just look up random adaptations for "canon" names or lolsowackyXD shit.

>>1879137
Being empathic is not the same as running away from reality. To use myself as an example, I'm really empathic towards characters that have congenital diseases and felt like they are going to die and being forgotten because of it. I have a congenital disease myself, so I can understand that kind of feeling.

Now, being "empathic" to a character who have nothing to do with you, just because said character has a better high school life that you ever had it's borderline mental illness.

>>1879141
>modern videogamers
Have I mentioned yet that, while also hating yuri and tabletop games, I also hate video games?

No? Damn. Fuck videogames.

>>1879142
I'm not psychologist, but I would go so far as to say it's not even borderline.

But yeah, I wasn't trying to imply that having empathy for a fictional character and running away from reality were the same. Sorry for any confusion.

>>1879147
No problem. To be honest, it's way better than that idiot who was pushing the "Reina is autistic" when Hibike was airing. Apparently if you're talented at something and aloof, you're autistic.

>>1879131
>You ever play an RPG? Video game or table top?
>Same shit, really.

Uh, no. The entire point of RPG is *not* to self insert. Self insertion is a quick way to get laughed out of groups.

We had one self inserter in our Shadowrun group. He lasted two sessions, became the running joke, and left when nobody was impressed.

>>1879174
It really is that same shit. Just on one hand you only self-insert enough to experience empathy for the character and be able to role-play as them effectively, and on the other hand the character is literally just you walking around with a trenchcoat and a sword.

I guess my use of self-insert is somewhat misleading, but going a bit off topic here, I've always felt you can't really role-play a character to any satisfying degree unless there's a little bit of you in the character. Something you can innately understand and empathize with. I don't think anyone could role-play as a character that is nothing at all like them for any length of time and/or well.

That's retarded. Your imagination may be this limited, but most people don't have that issue.

At the end of the day, roleplaying is no different than writing a story, just that it's focused on one character.

Spoiler warning: Most good authors have no problem whatsoever writing about characters for years that are nothing like them. Why would ropleplayers be different?

I've yet to meet more than a handful that couldn't do this.

i believe when most people say self-insert, they mean something like your latter example. an idealised version of yourself who is just the greatest.

understanding your character's motivations and feelings is just a part of roleplaying. you don't necessarily have to relate to them though, i think.

I could make baseless assumptions about you too you know. But I won't.

Yeah I will. I bet you're a shitty player that none of your GMs have had much fun with. Not only that, but since you so blatantly disregarded what I said, I doubt any of the other players enjoy having you around either.

Basically this. To write a story you need to understand your characters, but that doesn't mean you self-insert as any of them. A writer can create a self-insert for himself, for example Makishima from PP is Urobochi self-insert.

I'm undecided about if it's my opinion (since I don't do much roleplaying or writing) but I do have a friend that thinks the same way. Presumably you're not him, so at the very least this means someone agrees with you. Well, the way it happened was I was watching some people roleplay and commented to him that I noticed they all pretty much just acted like themselves and he basically said to me that doing that is the secret to roleplaying well.

The two pointed ends of the letter u represent the eternal duality of yuri in its diverse aspects: how it is impossible to have with only one girl, how shipping depends mostly on the contrasting traits of the pairing, and how yuri fans will never completely agree with one another.

It's easier to self-insert when you can choose your character and the like.
In anime, you are given a character that more often than most is repellent, unnecessary, or both.

The thread with the talk about the winter 2015 shows fell off the board long ago, so people can't look it up. No one here cares for your whining.

Jesus, are you the same loser that waited weeks after the last post in the previous thread to make some snide remark? Get a life. If you have something to say, say it in the actual current thread.
