he just got more based as the series went on
>>139203078
It's Nakajima Youko. Can't you tell from my hi-fidelity mspaint sketch?
Easy mode
First he was smug-ass pseudo rival to Goku.
Then he became that guy that really should fucking sit this one out, but he won't because no matter how tough situation is, he wants to help friends. And he got best girl.
Is this just a rec thread?
I don't understand the point of these threads at all.

how was simon ever a bad character
>>139206204

Even when scared he pushed through
>>139210366
I finally gave up on like the third ep of this cour. Is it worth watching just to see how his storyline ends? He and Kiba were really the only two characters I cared about at that point. It just got too convoluted when the plotlines with the Idol company came in.

Underrated post
In the anime, at the least. In the vn she was the perfect mix of Tsun and dere, but the anime cranked up her tsun to 11, until the OVA's of S2, where she actually felt like a proper Kirino, and not just a bitch who looked like her
>>139208936
>Implying a girl who was tortured for showing emotion other than pain is shitty
>Implying Sylvie isn't perfect from Day 1
Sylvie is a wonder, and Idol Dress Sylvie is literally perfection
>>139211179Man, for a second I forgot that the guy who made that webm started it on Kuroneko on purpose
Before the art shift, Mikan was a completely unlikeable bitch, but she's starting to grow on me, the way she is now
I thought Nao was going to be a Manami 2.0, something that wasn't helped when I found out that she "molested" Haru.
Turns out, she's easily second best girl after Sora. She approves of and even defends the twins when they decide to go through with their relationship.
If Yosuga no Sora wasn't an incest story, and Sora hadn't existed, then I would have been ok with Nao winning
I do not care if you think it's shit he has definitely become more based as the series went on and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.
>>139212575
He got more based the stronger he got. But once he became Hokage, and he started letting work interfere with his family life, he became a piece of shit
>>139202981
Simon was bad, got better after Kamina died, but then got increasingly worse after the time skip. Actually, he just stopped being Simon and turned into a Kamina clone.
>>139212575
>I do not care if you think it's shit he has definitely become more based as the series went on
what? He was the same character from the beginning of the series(or from the zabuza arc) to the end of it, he didn't develop at all as a person, he only got stronger.
>>139212575
He went from shit to less shit, but that still definitely classifies as becoming "more" based,
>>139213081
You're right, he was based from beginning to end. Sorry for messing up this thread.but seriously there was a time where people liked Sasuke more now Naruto is the cool guy.
>>139213141
He was never shit the only shit character. was Sakura for being so boring
>>139212575
After pain Arc he was the same just got stronger
>>139213250
Nah he was pretty shit. Next to Sakura he looks great though.
>>139213361
Please elaborate on how he was shit so I can tell you why you're objectively wrong.
He took only 7 chapters, Im really proud.
>>139213410
Annoying: I know this is intentional, but that's not an excuse
Inconsistent levels of intelligence: one minute he's great at battle strategies and the next he's retarded
Really cliche battle shonen character: headstrong, courageous, good hearted
Now by the end, he's nowhere near as annoying, but he's still horribly cliche. His personality isn't entertaining since he's so simple, and he hasn't had an ounce of character development, besides the superficial sort of removal of catchphrases.
>>139213666
Ok I understand what you're saying but he just has field vision like a good quarterback in a sense. Tom Brady is not a genius but he's a good player. Naruto isn't very smart but he's a good ninja, and if he isn't the headstrong brave character than who will be? Him being annoying is a part of him being headstrong it's just his nature.

>>139214001
Of course that's his character, that's what I dislike. Whatever though, everyone has different tastes, his personality just doesn't appeal to me. I agree he certainly got less shitty as the story progressed though.

He's not even a good ninja. He's just obscenely powerful and durable thanks to the infinite fountain of demon shit he can draw on.
>>139202302
That's pretty much every character in Evangelion. They all start out as "wow, this person has a generic personality archetype taken to an extreme that makes them very unlikable," and then you're shown the deep, scarring psychological damage that causes those traits and you recognize what a well-carried out and conceived character they are when given the context of their background.

Shinji is well written, but when a character develops, you are supposed to improve and become a better person. Even when the universe fucks you over, you improve and become like this guy, Shinji is human but he never seemed to adapt as a human and grew worse. In the end, he became a faggot and not really improve at all.
