/sword/ - Touken Ranbu General

Fuck this smithing campaign. I keep getting Kashuus.

>>186707453
I'm waiting for Muramasa, he's not even high rarity but
>Slut Suwabe sword

>>186707608
He's supposed to be erotic but his 'huhuhuhu' scares the shit out of me.

>>186707706
Well, he is a demon sword.

>>186707453
I pretty much gave up on it. I lost lots of troops while looking for Mouri and planned to make use of the troop smithing campaign. Then DMM throws in another sword smithing campaign, and of course I have none of the 4. Fucking sadists.

Post your progress on the event

>>186707608
I'm happy with any of them. I've NEVER gotten a campaign sword. My luck is shit-tier.

Do you think nitro will ever implement a new style of event?

>>186713247
These DMM games are lazy as fuck so probably not.

What us your opinion on kiwame in general?
Some kiwame are good both artwork wise and character development wise like Fudou, and some are straight up bad both visually and character-wise

>>186713247
Fucking hopefully. We really need something fresh.

>>186713247
>nitro
>ever putting effort into the game
I wish. They only really need other media to be successful.

>>186713247
I just want new worlds. I also want to think that the gattai monster in Katsugeki ep 7 is a sort of a preview of what's to come. After all the ep was apparently written by Nitro+ staff.

>>186713350
90% are overdesigned and ruin the original design.

>>186713350
I hate most of their art. Instead designing new clothes, the artists just threw more layers on top of the old stuff, considering this happened to almost all of the new designs, it seems the idea is from Nitro, sigh. I fear for the tachis.

>>186713453
They new game staff seems to be putting a tad bit more effort than before though.

>>186713350
I seriously wonder who thought Sayo's character "development" was a good idea.

>>186713350
I was mad as fuck after checking out Namazuo's kiwame. They got rid of the polite speech that contrasted his personality. Gap moe gone, forever.
Kiwame is trash and I hate it so much, it'd rather not have any good changes if it means dealing with these blunders. They're going to fuck up my favorites so hard.

>>186713707
That's true but the game is still as boring as ever. I guess one shouldn't expect much from kusoges.

>>186713707
When did the staff change?

>>186713464
An anon in a murrikan con said the staff will make new stuff for the enemies but no source

>>186713894
I think around last year, when the game kind of got a revamp with the new OP, kiwame introductions and etc

>>186714109
The dev team was changed some months ago

Am I blind, or have they not updated the op in a while?

>It's still a secret! I leave it to your imagination. We will let you know...someday!
They're teasing us.

>>186713707
Everything since the last udnerground event has been pretty damn annoying. Shitty drop rates, way too many beads, crafting events and way too many new swords and events in a short time.

I like my swords comfier. Will drop it if it keeps on staying so annoying.

>>186714784
it's because not even they know
gotta come up with some bullshit first

>>186714843
It's the general consensus, really.
Do nips bombard nitro with the same complains on twitter?

>>186715107
Hopefully. Because seriously, if I wanted to play a game that takes up all my free time, I'd go for a mobage and not Tourabu. Tourabu is supposed to be comfy, or at least that's how I see it.

>>186708696
Nah he had that treasure chest event where you had a limited number of turns to get as many keys as you could.

>>186714784
Didn't they say they plan to reveal who they are soon?

>>186714784
>I'm really sorry that you can't play it in the U.S.!
>later on they make it VPN only
What did tey mean by this?

>>186715743
fake japanese politeness.
they don't care.

>>186715107
Nips were complaining a lot about Kiwame tantou nerf and Mouri's hilariously bad drop rate. There were fewer complaints about Kotegiri needing 100k beads in 2 weeks. The next closest thing to that kind of pacing was Ookanehira with 100k beads in 3 weeks. That and the fact that you don't get any multiplier item freebies anymore makes them look like they're starting to get hungry for dem microtransaction yens.

>>186715743
>they make it VPN only
Officially, it's never been accessible from US.

>>186716061
Had they added harder content, they wouldnt've needed to nerf the kiwames.

>>186716514
I think they're trying to make way for the other Kiwames to be stronger. If the Kiwame tantou had remained as strong as they have been, the newer enemies basically have to be absurdly overpowered to put up a fight, and then the newer tiers of Kiwame would need to be even more overly so. I agree with the Kiwame tantou nerfs in the long-term, so I love seeing people qqing about it.

Why is he so damn expensive anyway? Monoyoshi was fine for it's time but Kotegiri's price is too damn high.
At least I hope they don't increase it any higher from now on.

>>186716660
I can fix the pics if the quality is ok. Just dont use flash and try to straighten the pages as much as you can.

>>186716921
Again, it seems like the new devs are trying to push a little harder on actually milking microtransactions from their game. It's not a change I disagree with, but of course veterans are going to be salty 'cause they're already sick of the monotony.

Mid-September, I didn't go to c92 myself, I have to pick them up from my friend.. That being said, if I can find out how to rip a game, I also have the rhythm carnival game by N+C.

>>186717498
I never paid much attention, all I know is that crane is apparently shit.

>>186717498
imo I feel honebami's the strongest waki there is, I don't have kotegiri so don't know if he's stronger but honebami is just really good.
Hotaru is the better oodachi although I prefer using Tarou.

>>186717498
Doesn't matter, just use Kiwame.

>>186717498
I like Uchitagana better but Oodachi are the best, albeit slow as shit and blind. Kiwame are monsters.

How long would it take to get a kiwame up to level 99?

The one that got the cover drawn by some mobage artist. I'll just post it here if someone else wants it too, they're ebook rips. I'm not sure if they count as good scans though. https://qt.catbox.moe/fccbd1

I've realized these aren't really worth it unless you like the artists. I only got this for one guy and can't be bothered to check the rest.

Predict the Kiwame journey and appearance of a sword that hasn't gotten one yet.

>>186723232
>lots of armor
>looks bad
>big silly hat
Here, I did most of the swords.

>>186723232
I hope they tone down the design changes when it comes to uchigatana. I can sort of understand giving similar-looking tantous distinct extra clothes, but uchis absolutely don't need it.

>>186722719
Thanks anon.
We'll probably do the newest Square Enix anthology first since that one is always pretty good, but I'll definitely save that one so we might do it after the SE one.

But damn, those color pages look horrible. Where did you get the ebook from?

>>186723971
Outlook grim; they didn't tone down the waki changes, that's for sure. I don't mind then for the most part, I think part of the charm of kiwame for me is that they're atrociously overdesigned to the point of being comical though.

>>186723971
I just hope they don't ruin the starters, their designs are good as is I don't want them to add a pile of shitty armor.
I don't think there's a single kiwame that looks good, maybe Hori but his face looks really tiny.

>>186724271
Not that anon, but going by the size/filename it's probably from ebookjapan. Their stuff always look blurry for some reason.

>>186724271
Rakuten. I was expecting the quality to be better too, or at least no so blurry.

>>186724568
>>186724694
Guess I'll make sure to evade both of those.

>>186724553
I think Nikkari's kiwame was an improvement, but I didn't care for his design to begin with.

>>186724553
I'd be impressed if they managed to add more armor to Hachikusa.

>>186724853
I think it's more about the publisher than the site. I've gotten nice raws from both Rakuten and EBJ before, that's why I was expecting better.

>>186723232
Ookurikara kiwame could possibly make him dere which could be a good or a bad thing

Look what happened to honebami

>>186724553
If Kumita's other kiwames are anything to go by, Kashuu is going to be covered in armor.
I think Toinana is the only one who's actually done nice changes to the generic Awataguchi uniform. Doesn't add one kilo of armor either. Maeda's hat is unfortunate but the rest looks fine.
Gokotai's artist did nice small changes too, gives me hope for Juzu.

You had no choice, anon.
Soon enough you will convince yourself it looks cute.

>>186727560
>it's kind of grown on me now.
How? It's fucking ridiculous.
He's the only tantou I didn't kiwame because of it.
Though I'll end up doing it someday anyway because of my autism, but still.

I actually like Houchou's kiwame

>>186727560
Did the same, still not going to kiwame him.
I now need duplicates of almost every event tantou to kiwame and then dispose of so I can fill my sword book like the autist I am.

>>186728593
I only disliked the hat. Could've lived with the rest but the hat kills it.

The problem with VPNGate is downloading and activating it. Also I'm afraid of being banned from 4chan again because of it.

>>186735721
How is it a problem? You just read the tutorial on their website.

The VPN doesn't have to be on while you play. You only need to have it on to load the page until you see the picture of the troops and the arrow, then you turn it off. I accidentally got banned the other day but after I turned it off it was fine.

Is this VPN a browser addon?
I'm not using it since I already had hoxx on Firefox for other purposes, and using an addon is quite easy since you can enable/disable it with just one click.

>>186736253
VPNGate is not. It's fine if you already have a browser add-on VPN you can use, but the reason people are adverse to them is because of Hola and the whole botnet thing.

>>186735940
Actually, you dont even need to wait till the troops part loads. Just load the page, and turn it off once the navigation bar loads. Everything else will load normally afterwards with your connection.

>>186735940
>>186736947
There's no chances of your account being banned from DMM's website doing this?

>>186737454
Not really, as long as you don't log-in with the VPN on it should be fine.

>>186737454
If there were a chance, someone would've been banned while we were all still using cookie flags in the last 30 months. I wouldn't say it's 0% but what else are you going to do, move to Japan?

>>186737454
What the other anons said. To be honest, I'm sure the gaijin wall is just there so they dont have to upgrade servers, I dont think we actually bother them that much since we are few.

Clearly it's not working because weibo still managed to get their hands on leaked Kiwame sprites and Kotegiri version of the promotional CM.

>>186739708
I think pointing out their sprite height differences is just an aside, the tweet is actually talking about how you can figure out relative heights because Mouri has different lines depending on whether his opponent is shorter or not.

>>186739587
Portraits rarely ever accurately depict scale or height in any JRPG. Seems like a pointless thing to nitpick, especially in a game with all artists working independently of one another.

That's not a difficult task, to be honest. Koryuu is a true mess.

>>186742985
Kiwame wakis are actually pretty disadvantaged compared to their tantou counterparts imo. If your kiwames are high enough level, pick the speed+ formation since they can just outspeed the purple enemies.

>>186742985
You should run a max of two Wakiwames and the rest Oodachis or Kiwame tantou. It'll make up for any mistakes for clicking disadvantaged formation. I know because I did it like 4 times today.

Don't worry anon, it's easy to forget that 5% of the time this game actually has some fucking strategy in it.

Will we EVER get a marriage system?

>>186747774
Doubtful, the theme of the game doesn't seem fit to have marriage (ケッコンカッコカリ like kancolle) but at best you'll have something like a grail system like FGO.

>>186747774
Someday, don't lose faith. ;_;

>>186748359
They can just bullshit something like eternal bonding. It's not hard.

>>186742776
I don't care for him much, even though he has design elements I usually enjoy, like glasses and beauty marks. Outside of his attacking art, he barely looks like a sword, more like an idol/schoolboy.

You're right. I've been hearing Touken Ranbu and fujoshit together so long that I forgot.

>>186716660
Thank you for the stage play link. Have you any plan to upload the musicals as well?

>>186752746
It could technically be fujoshit if you pretend that saniwa is male or if you're male and self insert too.

>>186750404
Marriage has nothing to do fujos, its just (You) marrying your beloved sword. If you have a penus then it's fujoshit. Vagoo is otomeshit.

>>186750638

Touken Ranbu and the boys is based on how (You) interact with them. Could be a fujo, an actual gay man, a casual boatfucker player, a yumejo etc. Tourabu doesn't fit any criteria in special since 1,8 million people registred over DMM's website and its difficult to separate all these groups.

I happy we got a new waki but I'm not too sold on his design yet. I hope his kiwame looks more interesting than this.

>>186757205
I would laugh if he actually got an idol outfit out of his kiwame.

>>186757646

I just want cheesy idol-like lines.

Who is the most underrated sword?

>>186760297
Fudou imo. Lots of angst potential but his drunkenness puts off a lot of people.

>>186760497
I find it very endearing honestly. No idea why anyone would get put off by it.

>>186763043
I appreciate that ufo is taking liberties with the homobaiting. I personally prefer HoriKane stuff, but the game and Hanamaru already have lots of stuff between them, and adding Mutsu to the picture is pretty refreshing. Especially if next ep really is about Mutsu suffering like some people estimated.

>>186763438
It is quite refreshing but seeing Hori out of the picture feels so weird after so many years of HoriKane.

I'm going to play the game again after a few months, anyone I should aim for?

Last time I played was when newer Toushirou bros got their kiwames.

>>186765852
Collect beads to get Kotegiri, the event is stil going on for 1 more week.

Does 100k beads count as easy?

>>186766135
Oh fuck
Well I like his design but his awakening really frustrates me.

I'll try one battle and see how it'll go.

>>186766181
I gathered 80k beads in just a couple of days, so if you have enough koban and strong swords then you shouldn't have much trouble. I use 5 rarity 4-5 tachi and Hotarumaru, all lvl 70-99. It's super easy like that, and the only problem is that I don't get to level up many swords.

>>186766350
Wait a sec, what's koban used for here? To replenish tokens?

I have a regular team, not sure if it's safe to post a pic here? Or do I tell you verbally?

>>186766793
Yeah 900 koban gets you 3 passes, and you get free passes twice a day too. And people have been posting pics of their teams so I don't think there's any issue in doing that.

>>186767035
Ok then here's my team.

How do you get 80k though? Just continuous grinding on the 4th stage?

When's the event over? Is it too late to start now?

>>186768027
Yeah just beat the 4th map again and again, while watching TV or reading etc.

>>186768539
The event ends next Monday, so go for it if you can.

>>186768539
There's a bunch of other rewards like itens for the new BGMs and very good exp

>>186768542
How much koban do you think you'd need to reach 100K beads?

>>186768542
Thanks anon, I'll give it a shot.

What about smithing, I think there's some campaign going on?

>>186768938
I used ~36k so far to reach 80k beads.
>>186769013
There are short smithing campaigns for Sohaya, Oodenta, Muramasa and Kogarasumaru. And it's right after everyone blew their resources in the Koryuu smithing campaign. DMM really is evil.

>>186769109
Damn they sure are. Thankfully I'm not interested in any of them atm so I'll just focus on the event.
Thanks for the help!

Ok so the 4th node is too hard and I end up losing everything I saved.

Do I just stick to the 3rd node? Can't believe that lv 80 isn't enough.

So has anyone reached 100K beads?

>>186739587
They did something similar with Yagen.
https://twitter.com/Rsn_Riesling/status/784004296484331521

And in the end, all of that shit doesn't even matter.

>>186771725
If you have all oodachis on good lvls and a couple of Kiwame then E4 becomes okay. A tem with lvl 80s should be enough though.

>>186742985
>I just wish I could skip the animations for catapults, arrows etc
I wish they add a function to skip fights entirely and just show the results at the end.

>>186774216
Yeah that's the problem, I don't have good ootachi nor do I have kiwame.

I think I have at least 2 complete sets but I haven't reached that area yet.

>>186747774
Probably never. And it's better that way.

>>186774374
Why? It's not like it's something you'd be forced to do.

I tried a bunch of wonky formations and could beat E4 more than half of the times.

>>186774347
If you get more beads from 3rd map then do that by all means. And try to complete world 6 asap so that you have kiwame ready for future events.

>>186774183
Kiwame Yagen looks like an actual teen instead of a tall kid

>>186775662
I'm a cute loli.

>>186775097
It's weird, but the team which I posted a little while back are my only leveled swords, everyone else is in the 20s.

>>186775124
I'll give it a shot, as for Kiwame I was thinking it would be best to get them to level 99 first?

>>186775539
I thought that was just the artist improving, did he really grow in height?

>>186776103
>as for Kiwame I was thinking it would be best to get them to level 99 first?
Tantous need to be only lvl 60 and wakis lvl 65 to be able to leave for kiwame training. But to be able to survive world 6 maps you'll need them to be at least lvl 65. Mine were lvl 75-80 when I passed 6-4.

>>186776443
Oh I know that but I heard something about extra levels being carried over?

Do I need to continuously clear 6-4 to send swords or just once is enough?

>>186777045
It's enough to clear 6-4 once. And yeah, some levels do carry over but low-leveled kiwames don't really need much exp. It's only after they reach lvl 30+ that they start needing hundreds of thousands of exp.

>>186776180
No, it's just the artist.

>>186753120
I'll see if I can find the subs and the raw. The subs are usually not a problem to find if they exist but unfortunately the raw is "muh skerit club pm for link" only.

Keeping Ichigo, Kuri, Naki and Mucchan are fine but without Kiwame Hori and Yagen will keep losing more troops thna usual. If you have an Oodachi there, babyshit him in your team because 1-2 Oodachis 55+ could save your chances.

It's funny you say that though because Horikawa and Yagen always lasted longer than the others.

>>186789334
Your Yagen is a leader thus he can't affected as much in this event.
I think your team is good enough so you can farm for Oodachis on 5-4, Ishiki will drop more than anyone else, then Taroutachi.

>>186793694
Ah that makes sense.
And sorry I misphrased, I already have Ishiki and Juroutachi. I just haven't touched either till now.

>>186793865
Oodachis are good nannies, if it's not much of a bother to you try using this event's insane exp to lvl them up

>>186794187
Worth a shot, I guess I could grind on the 3rd stage? Should I go for Ishiki?

>>186794421
Ishikiri is slow but best atk, Jirou is faster but both are just slow as fuck compared to any other types. Level up them both, equipe golden Elites and get them some horses.

>>186794421
Also yes, go to E3 then.

>>186795225
>>186795335
Is this exp boost really that good? I honestly didn't notice it till now but my guys are already pretty high leveled I guess.
Thanks for all the help btw.

>>186795472
1k exp per battle. MVP + Lead gives like 8k on boss node.
Its sexy, anon, best place to level up.

>>186795719
Thanks, I'll going to start over.

>>186785501
First Kiyomitsu, then Yasusada.

>>186795719
Just one more thing, who can I afford to switch on my team and not handicap myself?

>>186796102
Hm, I'm not sure, to be honest. You should switch around till you feel comfy. Try switching out Ichi first.

>>186795472
I did not check E3 much but E4 is insane, I got a bunch of swords around lvl 60 to 80 in 4 days and I don't play all the time.

If anyone else wants random/rare pair stuff for Yagen, the anthology had a story for everyone up to February 2016 release, including male saniwa, female saniwa, and konnosuke stories. usually 3-4 pages each comic.

you have nothing to lose but a full unit under level 60, even with ootachi, you won't get too far.

good luck. they won't get hurt permanently so just go test limits and use map 1 or 2 to level them up for future events.

I also find it a stark contrast to how fans treat Sada-chan. debut time aside, the lewd for Sadachan is basically non-existent. People sitll ship Mitsu-Midare or Mitsu-Yagen more than with Sadachan.

probably because while Sadachan is great in battle, he still has that innocent childish aura.

It is. It truly is.
But I believe that Yagen's appeal is so strong that even professional lost their cool over him.

>>186801283
>>186801753
>>186802016
Well I'll wait a bit. I'm tired of the second map, it's too easy for them.

>>186801958
All that just makes him sound like a coolheaded manlet. I guess he has appeal like that, but it just makes me think of dragon lolis or Cag.

Yagen is much better when his adult persona gives way, like any proper tween should. And I thank god everyday that Hamamaru pandered to that.

>>186800101

It's like people want to pretend Touken Ranbu wasn't created for anything but fanservice.

>>186801657
Anon, if you worked in a popular studio doing animation for a popular franchise, would you spew your degerenate fetish like that? I don't care if he likes horse fucking but it's a very specific fetish and not everyone will like his comments.

>>186804260
Pretty sure he was just making jokes, then women, as always, threw emotional tantrums over it.

>>186803493
Are you saying he's at his best when he lets his walls down and acts more his age?

>>186804260
It just doesn't look very professional.

>>186804260
Of course his tweets were unprofessional, but it shouldn't be as big a deal as it has become now. It should've been enough to just delete the tweets.

>>186804453
Women or not, his words carry weight because he's related to the studio making the anime. He shouldn't have said that on his public twitter.

>>186804034
some fans can get extremely pretentious with it, especially japanese ones. they like to use sword history as leverage to make touranbu look more sophisticated than it is, never mind that actual implementation of said history into the game is shallow at best.

>>186798139
>tfw only at 59k beads because I was busy over the weekend
Thank god I can grind on pocket, but I feel like I'm being slow even though there's a week left. Does anyone know what the next event will be yet?

>>186804453
Pretty sure waifufags would throw some fit too if the director of their anime was fond of some degerenate shit and posted about it.

>>186804739
I don't know if it's me or if pocket is actually slow as shit. After grinding on it for 5 days I was only at 50k, I think people going at it for less time had more beads than I did.

>>186804739
They'll probably take a break of 1 month for doing events, unless the new devs want to release new content non-stop

>>186805010
If the loading is slow I think it might be your internet, Pocket only feels slower for me because there's more to click to reach the menus/options.

>>186805084
Speaking of new content what are the chances of getting Gou in an easier way in the future?

>>186806237
He'll likely be available, but in a harder way. Maybe they'll make him a rare drop in a new area's boss node like they did with Juzumaru, Sadachan etc.

>>186806545
Or another smithing campaign

>>186806237
He'll probably be an eventual drop for World 8 next year hopefully

>>186806545
>tfw I'll never have Juzu and Kikkou
Fuck boss node drops.

>>186807986
Juzu is a lot easier to get since you can just grind the long route. Kikkou will eat up your resources faster than you can stockpile them.

>>186808246
Isn't Kikkou in 6-2? It's a pretty good farming place since it's a night map with mostly easy enemies except the last few nodes.
Though I'd recommend using normal Tantou, not Kiwame, since they take less to heal.

Yagen occasionally "acting like a tantou" is a great kink, I'm just sad that mostly only happens around Ichinii.

>>186801958
>>186801373
if you're an actual degenerate like me, there's also the fact that for Yagen's era, a kid his skill and age is prime fuckboy page material. I was always into the Mori Ranmaru story way before touarbu (thank to koei) so when both fudou and Yagen happened I was in heaven.

desperately praying for Fudou shenanigans in Hanamaru 2. the stage play (since now you guys can watch it) was great too. Too bad Yagen was basically married to Souza in that. Oda stage play resulted in the HasebexFudou pairing though.

Kikkou is in world 7 world 6 is nihongo.

I still dont have kikkou but I'm getting closer thanks to kiwame team.

>>186808631
Ah, I confused Kikkou and Akashi.
Shame on me. Can't remember the new guys.

>>186808986
it's okay, I forget about Akashi all the time (he never fucking come home.. I just want Nihongo now and Kikkou) will grind.. after event.

It always makes me feel bad for Hori.
I know he decided on his own to be Kane-san's assistant but still.

How do you guys feel knowing that the devs don't want you playing their game?

Test

>>186812386
well he can still assist Kane-san with doggo in many ways

>>186812862
rock hard

>>186812862
I've seen jp fans complaining about foreigners too.

>>186812862
I'm indifferent. I've been following japanese media for so long that I totally got used to it.
In the end, it's just a business to them and they probably don't feel the need to expand the franchise to the west.

>>186813052
What did they say?

>>186812862
It's only good that retards who can't use VPN/mobile are eliminated. The more Western fans, the worse.
>>186813052
What have they been complaining about?

>>186812386
It's so odd but at the same time pretty refreshing seeing Hori not being kanesan obsessed for once and actually be his own independant person.
It would be perfect if Ufo at least made Manba and Hori interact in Katsugeki but they made it seem like they are complete strangers.

Everything from being thieves, being annoying, to merely existing. Japanese fans have even shitposted in the english wiki, iirc something about how the swords are "theirs".

>>186813437
>being thieves, being annoying, to merely existing

Oh, the usual then.

>>186813437

Well they're not wrong. I gag whenever I see a non-Jap saniwa character.

>>186813437
well the ones who leak dojins or 2.5d media in tumblr fucking deserve backlash. the worst are those who steal lewd tourabu cos photos and post on the fanpages of facebook of all places, as if that shit won't get back to the original models or photogs. not gonna say what fb pages, but they aren't English language based and they are cancer

>>186813789
That shit happens with every single franchise.
I think they're just a minority of extremist fans.

>>186812862
It probably just has to do with some sort of legal trouble involving localizations or whatever. They opened the game to china too, I really doubt they actively want to keep foreign players out. Nips hate chinks more than they hate us.

Wasn't there a game dev at the recent US con saying she wanted to bring the game to the US? Or was that a Katsugeki dev?

Katsugeki dev. It was just a polite remark that she'd like to see the game reach Western fans after the anime was well received at the screening.

>>186813936
true, but still makes those fans thieves. idk, I'm not deep in to other fandoms and I've stayed off FB because too many friends keep spreading those kind of shit facebook fanpages. tumblr was enough to get me out. Sadly I have to keep at least one FB presence active because work related things.

>>186813705
eh, I'm fine with babies having their bottles. but the game is clearly set in Japan and relies on Japanese history you'd basically get in standard schooling there.

>>186813437
>being thieves
Chinese fans upload more shit than western fans.

>>186813789
I'm always wary sharing stuff even on here because I'm paranoid some tumblrina is lurking and will upload it all over the place.
I don't mind sharing with small groups on 4chan but I don't ever want to be the one who ends up ultimately responsible for annoying an artist, or effecting sales of something official if it gets shared on a major site.
I figure most people on here know not to spread what they find in /sword/ or /blog/, but you never know.

>>186813705
Don't really see the issue with self-inserts, as long as they're kept in the appropriate places.

>>186814797
I share things on the downlow to friends only, especially if I know they also pre-ordered this or that media. and sometimes on 4chan but I delete the link after 48 hours. For the lewd cos stuff though I never share directly, even in DM. I just give the link/source. if it's public,it's there to be seen, but it can still be controlled. cross dresser dudes are especially the type I don't want to scare into lockdown.

>>186814797
Man I really don't care. I guess it's because I'm poorfag so I support sharing. I don't bother with other people's things but I've uploaded my own sword stuff directly to japanese sharing sites.

>>186811128
Their exchange in that room in front of everyone was very gay, then the next episode preview made it even gayer

>>186814797
I always try to support franchises or doujin artists whenever possible but sometimes it's just so damn hard. When it comes to official stuff (like say, most touken official books) shit skyrockets in price afterwards it's just like why bother.
And when it comes to doujins the doujin sells out and the artist sometimes never reprints it ever again all you have to do is search it secondhand and at that point you're not really supporting them. Sometimes artists even dissappear completely like a lot of early 2015 tkrb doujin artists that did stuff once and never again.

>>186817930
The only official stuff that got expensive is time-limited stuff like that first mini artbook that was an one-time extra to the artbook.
Nitro+ regularly does reruns too.

>>186817930
post the covers of what you're looking for, they may be in someone's collection here.

>TFW one of my holy grail tourabu dojins went up on sadpanda then I found physical copy for it on mandarake 2 months later.

the thing about doujins isn't that you must support artist, but if the artists' wish isn't to spread it, then it's bad form to flaunt the fact that it was spread around. Controlled sharing is possible. Japanese dojinka don't fully expect to support themselves financially on dojinshi, they actually factor going into the red, unlike other Artist Alley cultures.

>>186812862
Most japanese people don't want gaijin anywhere near their shit anyway

>>186818559
>Most
No, most don't care. It's just that the ones who reject gaijin are the most vocal.

>>186818691
Well indeed, extremist people are always vocal

>>186814797
I've seen one tkrb fanpage in my language and it was filled with unsourced fanart. I saw some bootleg Kogis being sold with fanart behind their boxes. Sadly this kind of shit is difficult to control so I understand if artists act "anal" about it

My friend was the who scanned the first artbook and shared in the old /sword/ threads. It was funny because until some anon on /a/ mentioned there were better scans on panda, most people barely knew about it and kept using my friend unprofessional scans. I never saw them around in other websites either. I think it's safe to assume most of you don't spread shit around.
