>>121710085
Is this an OVA. I don't recall this.
That's chubby?
Dear god.
>>121710085
Since when is being healthy a bad thing? She's actually still a bit too thin to be healthy, imo.
You are the child of the mc of the last anime you saw.
Would you live to your father expectation?
I would probably not be enough otaku for him.

My mother is a lesbian
I've been rewatching S1 of SYD, I doubt my father would have a lot of expectations.
My mother Shino might be a different deal, though.
>>121723032
The last thing I watched is the Yuru Yuri OVA. My nice mom has been missing for years and all that's left is the abusive one.

How in God's name did she not win?
She was best girl by light years .
Because best girls never win. It's pretty much by design. Certain characters in these kinds of shows are designed to be the "best" so that they belong to the audience once they inevitably lose to the designated "main" girl. It's completely deliberate and all part of the harem romance formula and you faggots fall for it every time
Because she is not the main heroine.

Yuki Yuna is not a “hidden gem.” It deserves its low score of 7.61/10 (by MAL standards). It is an extremely dull slice-of-life with bland characters that rides on its “dark twist.”
**Characters**
The biggest issue with YYY is that its [haracters are simply not interesting. They are some of the most one-dimensional, shallow cardboard cutouts I’ve ever seen. Because half the show is slice-of-life, it absolutely demands likeable characters.
Yuna – She has no personality. She’s generically optimistic. The story doesn’t even revolve around her. Why is she the title character? She’s never pushes the plot.
Fu – She’s the club leader. Cool.
Itsuki – She’s the younger sister of Fu. Just generically cute and she’s used for cheap sympathy when she loses her voice because she wants to be a singer. Boo hoo.
Togo – Slightly more interesting. I’ll admit, her being in a wheelchair was novel and made her more intriguing by default. She later investigates the details behind the Hero system so I actually liked her.
Karin – I actually liked Karin, too. She added a desperately needed bit of friction to the group. They showed her to be independent and hard working. Earning her skills.
That is only two characters that were remotely interesting, but most of the show revolves the girls doing the most mundane slice-of-life things. They go to karaoke, they eat udon noodles, they go the beach, they have a birthday party, and they have sleepovers. This is **most of the show**.
There are no subplots to keep you distracted until the main Hero plot picks up, and that isn’t until halfway into the series. If there’s anything resembling a subplot they are tasked to find owners for some kittens. I’m not kidding. This is a real plot point in the show. The pacing of the slice-of-life is mind numbingly slow. I cannot emphasize this enough. My issue is that the majority of the show is just dull.
**The Ending**
The emotional core of the show is that the girls’ bodies are being sacrificed to fight off the monsters. They are dealt permanent disabilities like going blind, deaf, mute, etc. This is an extremely important part of the story and makes for great tension.
Except…
By the end of the show it’s all reset. That’s right. The single biggest point of emotional investment that you’ve had is ripped away for a cheap happy ending. And don’t tell me was foreshadowed or it’s explained in some obscure details. No, that is not how you write a story. This a fatal flaw. They teach you in Writing 101 that you do not end the story with a reset (i.e. it was all a dream, it was the Matrix, it was an hallucination, etc.) The ending and the emotional core of the show are in **direct contradiction**.
There is no justification for this. I guarantee YYY fanboys will say “B-But the context! Y-You just didn’t understand the story!” This is the first line of fanboy defense when you point out a critical flaw in their show. This is like the Star Wars Prequel fanboys that will do mental gymnastics to justify their awful movies. They will say “I-It’s explained in the books and the c-comics!” Or Christian apologists that say “You’re not looking at the full context of the Bible.” This is circular reasoning. “X is right because X says so.”
This is not a difficult concept to understand. You don’t have your audience get invested into your story then take it away. YYY would’ve benefited more from either being 6 episodes or being a movie.
**Other complaints**
The enemy designs are bland.
The battles take place in an alternate dimension. How convenient. Instead of dealing with real world consequences they take easiest path.
There's no training episode. The girls are just somehow good at their wielding their powers. Training episodes are excellent plot tools for character development and exposition.
Cute animal mascots.
**Things that were good**
Togo being in a wheelchair.
Togo fanservice.
Fu’s reaction when she found out her younger sister isn’t getting better.
I liked when Karin sacrificed herself because she was a decent character.
The at least attempted to foreshadow.
And that's the end, don't see why this series gets so much praise around here, but I just had to put this out there.

What makes Batoto so highly used and recommended among /a/? Every time someone links a chapter or a page is saved, batoto is linked or seen in the file name. So far the only difference I can see between this and other sites (ie, mangafox/reader/trader/whatever) is that Batoto has multiple languages available and nothing licensed overseas, which is pretty neat. But I feel like there's more to it.

I have this undesirable feeling he'll die before the series ends.;______;
Oh, look, yet another retard who took iM@S joke seriously.
>>121672205
From where did this shit start? I see a lot of retards everywhere blaming idolm@ster for berserk hiatus.
What happened to him actually. The was last berserk chapter was in october 2014 I think. That´s really long even for miura. I don´t want berserk to be another MM!
Look at all this /ss/. Look at it.
