Cute duet needs to arrive sooner. This anticipation is going to give me heart problems, and the song itself will finish the job.
>>13396478
I'm not sure if she will be a good mother. I find Miku and Maria better for being a mother.
>>13396478

Since you asked nicely, I made something stupid and quick just for you.
Though I wouldn't really say "so what" about Rokka not getting more. It's pretty good. At least the LNs have a reliable translation project.

WellVal Verde made her.And I don't think her mother would approve.
>>13396558
Sweet jesus. I knew she ran track, but damn. Those are some nice legs. She's got a pretty nice butt, too, if her SSJ appearance is to be believed. I feel like she tends to get overlooked on the hot body list because of her more modest breasts and since she's never wearing skin-tight outfits like pretty much every other girl in the show
>>13396635
Storyboards, pardon.
Still better than the storyboards I've seen of GX.
>>13396676
Storyboards are meant to be done quick so they can sort of see where they should go, the important part is capturing the dynamics.
>>13396605

>>13396690
Bonding with Chris.
>>13396673
Approve of what? Headpats?
>>13396688
Yes, but it's clear that they generally want the storyboards to look as on-model as possible, and having more frames is usually preferable. I've seen the storyboards from G's key animation book as well.
Is H&D significantly better than Commie?
>>13396773
Commie makes a few questionable translation calls (the infamous "heavenrend", also "swan song"). They're pretty similar otherwise.
>>13396490
>>13396673
She looks surprisingly HOT like that.
>>13396773
They're slower but don't do stupid memesubs and actually like the franchise.
>>13396790
I know right?
>>13396785
>"swan song"
I thought Swan Song was a perfectly reasonable translation
>>13396792
Xythar likes Symphogear though, only kerktz must hate it.
>>13396817
>kerktz
Well, his nickname is actually herkz but fuck him.
>>13396813
It's a sensible call given what we know in the first episode, but come G there's really nothing final about it, so the term drags along a bunch of connotations that it shouldn't have.
It's not Heavenrend bad, but it'd still be worth backpedaling on.
>>13396785
>>13396813
Swan Song is a questionable translation for a couple reasons. The first being that it misrepresented to fans what exactly a zesshou did - a "Swan Song" implies that it's the last thing you're going to do, i.e. you sing your Swan Song and then you die - which led to a lot of people being confused about Tsubasa and Chris not dusting after Kanade did at the concert. The second is later in the series Tsubasa literally says "Supaabu Sonngu," more properly translated as "Superb Song" at a later point in the series, specifically in reference to a zesshou.
>>13396662
It was during an invitational where /m/ and /u/ made a joint team. We took 3rd and Nanoha got golden boot.
>>13396819
I personally like to call him Herkz with a capital H instead of the lowercase h he prefers since I am a real anarchist.
>>13396826
>The second is later in the series Tsubasa literally says "Supaabu Sonngu,"
I don't remember this.
>>13396826
Commie makes a lot of weird calls in the name of "localization." Nevermind that a good localization wouldn't actually pull any of the bullshit that they do. Look at XSEED's work for an example.
>>13396826
>The first being that it misrepresented to fans what exactly a zesshou did - a "Swan Song" implies that it's the last thing you're going to do, i.e. you sing your Swan Song and then you die - which led to a lot of people being confused about Tsubasa and Chris not dusting after Kanade did at the concert.
I think that confusion would have remained given what we saw every time it was used until they started abusing it in G.
And honestly I am still kinda confused as to why Kanade dusted in the first place.
>>13396865
Because she was fated to die, she deserved to die.
>>13396865
>And honestly I am still kinda confused as to why Kanade dusted in the first place.
She forgot her meds.
>>13396846
It was when she was watching DBZ and Super Buu showed up.
>>13396865
Kanade dusts because she hasn't taken her LiNKER.
>>13396846
S2E2, S2CA Tribust scene.
>>13396865
Kanade dusted because she had next to no (or was it literally zero?) compatibility with Gungnir, and she was off her LiNKER during the concert because Ryoko/Fine claimed it would have interfered with the Neushtan experiment. Lower synch rate = higher recoil on your body when you zesshou. Chris and Tsubasa both have fairly high natural synch rates and both of them nearly died when they used their Zesshou, so you can probably figure out from there why the backlash was so extreme with Kanade.
>>13396868
>fated to die
Yes
>deserved to die
Fuck you
>>13396865
>And honestly I am still kinda confused as to why Kanade dusted in the first place.
1) She hadn't taken LiNKER that day since it was killing her
2) They hadn't figured out that doing the Zesshou as a big explosion thing that explodes all your internal organs is a REALLY BAD IDEA
>>13396875
Ah of course.
>>13396851
I've gone on long tangents about why "okonomiyaki" as "pancakes" doesn't even make sense from a localization standpoint.
For fuck's sake nobody goes out for "pancakes" with fish flakes, mayonnaise, cabbage, etc. with friends after school. If you want to localize it just say pizza it's less accurate but actually fits the context better.
>>13396869
>>13396873
Yeah but drugs that turn you into dust because of withdraws are all sorts of weird especially as it waited for her to die before it happened. It was poatic and all but it wasn't well telegraphed at the time ore even after.
>>13396545
After hearing Aoi Yuuki's performance in episode 10, I want the entire series adapted to anime and I want a fucking wedding scene and a happy ending. They suffered enough to earn it.
>>13396873
I was wondering, was this a retcon or did they mention this? I haven't watched S1 in a while and don't have it on my computer.
>>13396912
It was in the keynotes, pretty sure during the first part of S1 too
>>13396773
Outside of speed (H&D still isn't fucking done) absolutely.
Accurate, no memes, and the lines read much better. The longer ones that are trickier and require a bit of creativity are much better in H&D's as well, and they don't over localize their scripts.
>>13396899
It wasn't because of LiNKER withdrawl. The dusting was entirely a result of the backlash on her body from using her zesshou. The backlash was just much higher than normal because A) Kanade's natural synch rate was practically zero and she wasn't on her LiNKER and B) at the time, neither Kanade nor Tsubasa knew how to properly channel a zesshou through their Armed Gear and pumped all of the energy directly through their bodies, which resulted in even more strain than normal.
>>13396872

If they were at least somewhat clever, which they aren't, they could have gone with something like "Japanese-style pancakes" and they could have handwaved it as making sense because those wacky Japanese and their weird eating habits.
>>13396921
Well, I didn't even know the keynotes existed until just the other day so I guess that doesn't change anything.

>>13396985
>Epistrophe
You're completely wrong. She was listing off things with -shi which is used for those types of lists in Japanese. It's a construction for that type of sentence, and there weren't separate clauses or sentences to apply epistrophe to in her list of descriptors for the steak. She did have a break in sentences, and then the second sentence ended with -shi, which doesn't line up 1:1 with any English constructions, but they chose to represent with a cute rhyme. That's good translation.
Judging by your aggressive addition of commas to your sentence, I'm going to guess English isn't your native tongue. Why do you feel the need to comment on the translation of one language you don't know at all to another language you barely know?
>>13396998
No, commie lacks the creativity to come up with that.
>>13397065
Little Miracle is still about both Miku and Topdad, but Topdad should have never gotten the song.
>>13396979
I know, I've heard what happens and read a bit.
I downloaded all the novels but I'm afraid to read them because I don't know where it's going to end up.
>>13397077
It was all about topdad. It was always about topdad. It's time to let go.
>>13397059
To be honest I feel like FIS has the potential to be more interesting than the main trio, or at least that following their development would be more interesting. That is reliant on the writers getting off their asses and let them interact with everyone instead of Maria only talking to Tsubasa and Hibiki and trying to make DMJii's arc entirely self-contained.
>>13397065
I try not to let the context of a song's use in the show affect my opinion of it in a negative manner. If I really liked the context, it'll get a boost (like Rainbow Flower or IGNITE Ginwan), but if it has sad/frustrating context (Little Miracle/Kimi to IuI find it more enjoyable to just ignore it.

On the topic of commie subs, is Chris really as crass as she appears to be sometimes, or is that commie quality?
>>13397166
A bit of both.
>>13397146
Shirabe is finer.
>>13397166
She uses rather informal Japanese, but I'm pretty sure the way she speaks (outside of her catch phrases) is sort of standard for teenagers.
>>13397051
Yeah, I'll admit to blindness on that part.
>>13397068
Really? There's no other possible way that Carol's line could've been written in Japanese, and the writers (who've been seen to be able to turn a phrase) are completely ignorant of how repeating sounds at the end of phrases works? That's a hell of a coincidence. Maybe epistrophe isn't exactly the right term, but it fits pretty closely (the scheme's very similar to that one quote from The Art of Rhetoric that tends to come up) and rhetorical devices tend to have a bit of give in them by default.
>Judging by your aggressive addition of commas to your sentence, I'm going to guess English isn't your native tongue.
You'd be completely wrong on that. Hell, your comma use is just as "aggressive" as mine, and your comments are substantially more so. I'm not saying H&D are shit or anything like that.
>>13397065
I still think second part of the song is about Miku & company.Maybe that's why they didn't put it in the show, because it wouldn't fit.
>>13397221
It'll probably be reused in S4 since Symphogear loves reusing songs now.
>>13397236
>It'll probably be reused in S4 since Symphogear loves reusing songs now.
A character song? Nah, KR wouldn't accept it, for character songs they only reused Maria's gugnir in GX.
>>13397166
She's super informal, the problem is just that the Japanese version of being rude or crass is just being really informal. Japanese doesn't really have traditional "swears" like English does, so their equivalent of being rude is just being incredibly casual. It's more like talking down to someone than calling them names or directly insulting them.
>>13397166
Chris speaks very informally and is short with people, and is often rude. Both commie and H&D have her swear sometimes, but H&D gives him some actual battle trash talk which is good instead of just sprinkling in swearing.
The biggest issue with Commie's portrayal of Chris is that they butcher the tone behind all of her non-screaming one liners (giving her American pop culture references in previous episodes) or something like this here. The one on the left is Commie, and they make her sound like an idiot in the context of the scene because "Hurr! Don't bring a silly thing like logic into this!" sounded funny to them. You can see with the H&D line that the reality of what she was saying was different.
This is why Commie's claims of "We localize so it sounds natural in English and matches tone." is complete bullshit. The lines about her parents later in this episode are another example of how they they don't care about mutilating lines.
>>13397203
Please stop pretending to understand Japanese. What she said was the equivalent of "It's bitter AND it's smelly AND it disappoints (AND stuff)." That's how -shi works when listing things in Japanese, there's no special grammar device to note there. It's not epistrophe at all. I'm sure you're eager to show off the new term you learned in English class, but you're applying it completely wrong. It does not fit pretty closely.
>You'd be completely wrong on that. Hell, your comma use is just as "aggressive" as mine,
You used it needlessly to indicate a verbal pause in the post I quoted.
>I'm not saying H&D are shit or anything like that.
You said they weren't great because "They didn't include this thing through a creative English translation" when they in fact did, and the other thing you're looking for isn't there at all. You're wrong because you don't want people thinking that H&D are doing a fantastic job succeeding at everything commie claims to do, when in reality they are.
>>13397236
Unless she pulls a Tsubasa/Maria, character song never gets reused. LM also only worked in that context of ep11, Hibiki immediately switchs back to G-beat in the next one.
>>13397251
What about something like kuso?
>>13397251
Yeah but sometimes the informality is just informality and can even be friendliness. A lot of simple people can speak informally and it's clear they aren't being crass (at least in the context of anime). Example is that the stereotypical ramen chef will use really informal language, or a certain friendly banchou-type.
>>13397274
It's kind of a swear but not with the same connotation as English. "Kuso" is used for things like earwax and snot, I doubt it's like "shit" where parents will get upset if they hear their kids saying it or hearing it on TV. I don't think Japan really has taboo words, or at least not to the same degree America does.
Would anyone care to translate this? It looks pretty cozy.
>>13397259
>gives him
gives her*
Sorry, Chris.
>>13397274
Chris insults Carol with a phrase containing kuso in episode 6. H&D translated it as "The little shit" which is pretty much spot on.
>>13397274
That's why I said "doesn't really." Kuso is a weird case where on it's own it's technically just a hyper-casual way of saying "poop," but depending on the context it's used in would make more sense when translated as an exclamation of "Shit!" or something. That's honestly one of the biggest difficulties translating from Japanese to English (or any two languages, really) - both literary and societal context can affect the severity of a word by a massive amount. Take "Daisuki" for example. Literal translation would be "love," but depending on the context it can be anywhere between what Americans would use "I like you" for or what a couple standing on the altar might say.
>>13397289
This is also true, but that's often when it's close friends. In Japanese, the "automatic" setting for speaking to people you don't know is polite speech. So speaking really informally to someone you just met compared to someone you know really well (for example, Chris talking to Leiur vs. Chris talking to Hibiki) changes the tone of speech from friendly and casual to demeaning and insulting.
>>13397221
At first I thought the paragraph that starts with "Always, I've receiving..." was about Miku's love. It still makes more sense than the fucking "heiki hecchara" thing.
>>13397259
>Please stop pretending to understand Japanese.
I'm not. Repeating a phoneme is a pretty common thing across many completely distinct language groups, but I'm certainly not anything like an expert on Japanese. Is there really no other way this could've been phrased? I know the language isn't as lax on grammatical correctness as a lot of others, but is it really that inflexible?
>You used it needlessly to indicate a verbal pause in the post I quoted.
Yes, I treat this as informal dialogue rather than busting out Strunk and White. I might even put in an ellipsis!
It's true that I don't want people thinking H&D are absolutely perfect. That basically never happens, and people treating things as either completely ideal or ultrashit (with nothing in between) bothers me. I think it's important not to pretend flaws don't exist, even if you like the overal product. I do think that H&D's probably overall better than commie at everything but trolling and releasing in a timely manner and I have not implied otherwise, so you can see why this defensiveness is a bit confusing to me.

That's why your interpretation of what that should be translated to in English (ie. what connotation or "feel" it has) is completely worthless.
but is it really that inflexible?
Since you're speaking from a place of ignorance, I'll educate you. Carol's line in question is 苦いし臭いし美味しくないし (nigaishi kusaishi oishikunaishi) and means literally "Bitter and stinky and not delicious." Japanese leaves out subjects, but we know she's talking about the steak so it becomes "(The steak) is bitter, it's stinky and not delicious." She used 3 verbs in sequence, in the same sentence to describe the steak. In Japanese when you link verbs like this, it's typically done by using the て (te) form of adjectives, or as a し (shi) list. Te form would have turned it into 苦くて臭くて美味しくなくて (nigakute kusakute oishikunakute) which STILL would have had them all end with the same sound. In Japanese, you don't just link adjectives together with a comma or verbal pause in their normal dictionary form (nigai, kusai, oishikunai. Oh hey look, they all end with the same sound again) like you do in English. That "repeating sound" you're pretending needs to be translated is literally their version of a comma between adjectives to link them when describing one thing, or the word "and". That's how it works. The second sentence ended with shi when it didn't really need to, and it created a sort of rhyming flow to it, hence the rhyme in the line. It's pretty much perfect, and captures her cute tone.
>I might even put in an ellipsis
Don't you fucking dare.
>I don't want people thinking H&D are absolutely perfect. That basically never happens
But they pretty much are, and it happened. That's why people are thrilled. A group gave accurate weeb subs that still read well and are clever in English. It's a fucking miracle. Why are you so buttmad about it?

Localizing proper Nouns has been done regardless of sense. How many locations have different names in English than they do in their native tongue? And I don't mean like "Napoli" to "Naples", I mean stuff that makes no sense like "Deutschland" to "Germany".

Ah fuck. I meant adjectives. You link verbs with the te form in the same way so I mixed them up while I was typing about it.

I'm not mad about them being good. I'm annoyed because I went "hey I think they missed something, but so did the others so it's not a big deal" and got "GO FUCK YOURSELF, ILLITERATE CUNTBASKET".
I seem to have been wrong in my criticism, which is fine. I do genuinely appreciate the explanation. Thanks for taking the time. If H&D really are _that_ good, I think I need to switch out my copies for their versions.

By the way, France is just Paris.
There is literally nothing but a radioactive wasteland the further you get from the Eiffel Tower.

>I'm annoyed because I went "hey I think they missed something, but so did the others so it's not a big deal" and got "GO FUCK YOURSELF, ILLITERATE CUNTBASKET".
I posted an example of why they're great, and you decided (and kept insisting) that line was a mistake because of a grammar rule in a language you don't understand. You caught a couple insults because you felt the need to weigh in on something you don't understand instead of asking "But was that line really correct? I heard..." and then you made it a point to say "Sure they're good, but you know, they're not THAT good."
>I seem to have been wrong in my criticism, which is fine. I do genuinely appreciate the explanation. Thanks for taking the time. If H&D really are _that_ good, I think I need to switch out my copies for their versions.
If you'd have asked from the start you would have gotten it. Yes, they really are that good. I honestly can't tell you the last time I saw a group sub with a niche audience in mind (people like us) and keep all the weeb shit in tact without forcing in unnecessary jokes or memes, and then on top of that write it in English that flows very well and almost perfectly matches the tone of the Japanese lines. Knowing Japanese, wanting to accurately represent the script, and knowing how to write creatively in English is seldom scene in subbing. Chris had a line later that episode about her parents that read a lot differently in HS and H&D, so I checked Commie's as well and then listened carefully to the moon. The line sounds really nice in moon but when translated anywhere near remotely literally it looks like shit in English. H&D's wasn't as pretty as the moon one, but it puts the idea across and comes much, much closer to matching the tone and feeling than the other two do. I'm very impressed with their work, and found your "Don't overrate them!" attitude offensive. I can not fucking wait till they do S1 and G. They desperately need (and deserve) the H&D treatment.
>>13397536
That one's probably either from a single tribe that might've been there at some point or from Gauls going "oh yeah, the neighbours". Sensible, just kind of shitty.
>>13397613
Then I apologize for coming off as a dick. It was harsher than what I was going for. There's so much overrating going on in general that it's honestly kind of difficult to believe something's actually what people say it is. It's a nice surprise.
ORBITAL BEAT (Ver.ZABABA) is still the best DMJii duet.
>>13397671
People are usually quick to call something shit here, not overrate it. Sometimes we actually get nice things. Just be happy that we got the nice things.
in terms of CharaSongs, S1 was the most consistent in terms of quality, with almost everything being at least good, with most songs in the "great" or "fantastic" range. G was much less consistent, but had some spectacular highs (Ressou, Waikyou, Edge of Goddess Works), but also lower lows than S1 (Oukyou, Bye-Bye Lullaby). GX wasn't as consistent as S1, but wasn't as hyperbolic as G, with some very good songs that aren't QUITE as good as G's best offerings, but neither were it's lows as bad as G's worst songs.
>>13397686
I agreebut I like Zwei Wing's more
>>13397166
can someone compare this frame with the BD version of the episode?
>>13397795
If my framedumping is any indication they haven't made many noticeable changes to the BDs.
Then again these are the early episodes which had much less QUALITY in general.Even if the lower budget is still kinda apparent from the scenes
>>13397879
Yumi is shorter than Shiori is shorter than Kuriyou, right? The perspective is a little weird in that shot. I know Yumi's the shortest of the trio but is Beef-chan or brown hair the tallest?
>>13397907
She's starting to slouch over.
Here's the start of that shot.
>>13397917
I- yeah, I can see that. I was asking about the other two.
>>13397952
Yeah, realized a little after I said it.
Maybe Terashima had a little growth spurt in between seasons because at the end of G they're standing next to each other and she is clearly a little shorter than Andou but a lot of GX shots make them look around the same height. But then Beef Stroganoff shows the three in around the same proportions as previous seasons so it may very well be QUALITY.
>>13397995
Their swimsuits have the same optical illusion chubbiness problem that GX Airgetlam has.
>>13397995
Awesome, thanks. Man, those three are really cute. I'm glad they got a song but I feel a little greedy saying I still want more from them. The hips on all three of them, too, god damn.
>>13398018
>implying a little bit of pudge can be a bad thing
I know what you mean with Airgetlamh where that looks more like a little pot-belly or a hinto f a baby bulge, but these girls more just look like they've still got a bit of baby fat.

Crunchyroll's translation sure is nice. That's why I just use Crunchyroll all the time now, they are literally exactly what I want out of my subs.
>>13398113
>he doesn't want OP/ED and likes to gamble if insert songs will be touched
>>13398122
Correct. More often than not I feel that song lyrics are superfluous. If I want to find out what they're saying I can look up the lyrics later.
>>13398113
I like the What you want version.
>>13398091
>Special brand of Kanadefags?
Guilty as charged. I won't argue that Minami and Nana's voices sound a lot better together than Nanjou and Ai, but I like their voices so much more individually that the ZW version wins out by a hair. As I say every time, Nanjou and Ai are just like their characters with their singing - weaker individually, but incredibly strong together.
>>13397526

It's weird but Kayano's voice has really grown on me. She's one of my favorite new seiyuu, both in terms of acting and singing. The fact that she stands strong when surrounded by veterans like Nana, Minami, and Nanjou really shows she's either a freak of nature prodigy or a testament to her dedication.
I really wish I could find more anime she's done songs in, especially solos. Especially solos where she hits the lower octaves, since something about the way she does those is super distinctive and sounds great. Kayano's "Woo yeah yeah" in Orbital Beat (especially Live) is absolutely perfect for that song.
>>13398341
Are there others like that?

I have this idea of Tsubasa quoting Hand Banana by splicing some footage of that scene together. From 0:33 to 0:34, she starts off with declaring, "Tonight," and then cuts to 0:40 to 0:41 by finishing off with,"/u/~"
But I don't know how to into making .gifs or .webms, and I'm a Mac pleb. I have GIMP, but I wonder how hard it'd be for me to try my hand at making such a memetic file? Or would I be better off asking for someone generous enough to make it for me?
I want all 4 GX Zesshoushinais to be 20 minutes of Maria being bullied.
>>13398681

Calling it now.

They definitely can't be if HibiMiku duet is the ED.
Based on that they'll probably be gay as fuck.
>>13398738
>HibiMiku duet is the ED.
Where are we getting this info? Did I miss something?
>>13398743
Radio when it was announced.
>>13398748
Oh shit, awesome. I knew about the song but I didn't know it was gonna be the ED for the first Zesshoushinai. Thanks!
>>13398767
It's going to be the ED of all the OVAs.
Since they warrant an ED I'm hoping they'll be a bit longer than the ones from G.
>>13398738
>3 Zesshoushinai full for topdad cockblocking Miku
>>13398738
yfw it's the ED becausethey couldn't fit any hibimiku in around all the Topdad

Hibiki pantsed Maria on international tv. before stealing her shit.
>>13398862
I'd make a "the cool Hibiki from S1/G is dead" quip, but I'm so tired of them.
>>13398870
Tsubasa also almost gutted her.
>>13398862
And she spend 2/3 of the 3rd season on a hospital bed. Don't mess with Maria.
>>13398891
I am trying to recall how she got to the hospital bed after the embracing Ignite mode
>>13398912
Medical check-up.
Pretty much it.
They obviously just clumsily stretched that so she could be doing nothing and stalled her own Topdad subplot while the doll of the week episodes passed by.
>>13398814ss, futa, femdom, monstergirls, exhibitionism, a few otherswhat I'm writing is just yuri with some femdom and I guess kinda sorta technically exhibitionism?
>>13398943
Mostly good taste.
I approve.
>>13398934
>Medical check-up.
>Pretty much it.
that's... fucking dumb. I thought she got wrecked again
Still nothing on this huh?
>>13398952
What'd you expect, after fighting overwhelming opponents like Carol and Micha that Hibiki would be hurt?
That would go against Kaneko's new "gumdrops and ice cream" style.
>>13399056
Chris' face is the only good thing in that picture
>>13399065
Exactly.
>>13399065
And her thighs. And Kirika's ass.
>>13399065
Which doesn't even remotely resemble Chris.
>>13399082
Despite her exaggerated/fucked up proportions in that art, her thighs are STILL thicker in the actual show
>>13399095
I can't say I'm spoiled with symphogear lewds that stick to art style.
>>13399095
Chris' hair is stupid and makes no sense. It's so cute.I want to watch her style it in the morning then ruffle the fluffle and mess it up so she has to do it again.
>>13399108
speaking of artstyles, the art styles of the OVAs are keeping me from watching them
>>13399124
Self-terminate.
>>13399065
I thought Kirika's face was actually the better of the two.
>>13399124
That's not the art style. That's just your shit taste at work.
>>13399082
>And Kirika's ass.
Kirika looks like she has broken hips in that pic.
>>13399135
A lot of bones look broken in that pic.
In fact, some of the body parts look more like skin-colored balloons filled with water than human flesh.
>>13399138
Chris seems fine apart from her fake tits and face. Kirika looks like she got broken by a big guy.
>>13396605

>>13396605Is there even anything /m/u/ other than Nanoha and Shinfergia?

I dunno... Bubblegum Crisis?
>>13399212
There are some series with individual characters like Proist or Shadow/Luna.
Honestly /u/fags have to pick at breadcrumbs more often than not. I don't believe Proist is even on the lineup and she is one of the few characters who is actually stated as being into women.
Muscular/fit Andou, y/n? Idea suddenly came to me (and I rather like it) but going off the swimsuit scene at the beginning of GX it's not exactly the case.
>>13399277
Andou is the tomboy, right?
She looks to be into sports, exercising and all other things that involve gym clothes, at the very least.
>>13396694
Bonding over women who weren't their mothers but served as a mother figure and physically abused them for being failures?
>>13399288
Yeah, Andou is the tall one with the spiky brown hair. I got the idea actually looking at >>13397995 and seeing that her tits are actually almost as big as Terashima's, which I never would have guessed from any of her other scenes. I figured I could play off that since she does wear her clothes kinda loose, making it harder to tell what exactly her body is like.
>>13399296
That and being being early enemies.
>>13399277
Depends on how /fit/ we're talking. I know I can't speak for everyone (especially given the kind of musclewomen I've seen in fanart) but I think more muscular than, say, the fit Street Fighter gals (like Cammy or Makoto) starts leaning a bit too much for my tastes.
Dunno what you'd intend to do with this feedback. I assume you're a drawfag?
>>13399277
>>13399288
I think the interesting thing is that she was embarrassed during the talent contest and not as into it as the other two who were super gung-ho, but then she spontaneously had a cat outfit during Beefu Stroganoffunya. Call me silly but I'm still unpacking that.
>>13399305
Enemies who get to sing an intro/outro.
HAHA SAAAAAAAAAA
ITSU SHOWTIME
>>13399306
Writefag, actually. And I was thinking along the lines of Mikasa Ackerman from Attack on Titan, where she's clearly quite fit but not what most would call "musclebound."
>>13399315
Oh yeah, she's definitely got her tastes in what I'm writing.Her tastes being Itaba and Terashima.
