Naruto thread

The Naruto thread, for Naruto discussion. You can talk about what you like/dislike about the show, your favourite character, your least favourite retcon, and anything else you want.

To get this started I think I'll talk about my least favourite retcon in the series.
When the story first started, Naruto Uzumaki was a nobody.
And an orphan who lives alone in a shitty apartment.
Dead-last in his ninja school, considered a failure by damn near everyone who knew him, hated for a reason he didn't know, he resorted to pranking people and vandalizing the Ninja Mount Rushmore monument in Konoha (The Hidden Leaf Village) for attention. Only one teacher liked him.
He wants to be Hokage (Ninja President) but at first nobody thinks he'll make it.
To make matters worse, this is a setting where things just aren't fair. Some people are born with more talent than others. There are people out there younger than Naruto with more talent than his Ninja senseis. Some people are legitimately threatened by caltrops and ninja knives, and some people are demigods who explode mountains by looking at them and effortlessly survive taking island-destroying explosions to the face.
Some people are born with Kekkei Genkais (Bloodline Limits), a genetic mutation that improves their body or lets them use a certain element nobody else can use. In a world where it takes a long time to learn one Fire/Water/Earth/Wind/Lightning spell and having two elements is considered a sign that you're epic, these people get an extra element on top like Magnetism or Lava. Or lets them use a combo-element like Ice which is a combination of wind and water magic, granting them incredible talent in both elements and the ability to perform ninja hand-seals one-handed. Or a unique evolutionary advantage like white eyes with X-ray vision that see in a 360-degree sphere for miles and let you see the body's chakra points, or bullshit purple god-eyes, or red and black eyes that see faster and gradually unlock increasingly bullshit powers like improve your reflexes, spit magical black fire so hot it burns regular fire and can only be extinguished by sealing magic, trap people in a torture illusion that lasts ages for the victim but a second in reality, make a big fucking gundam out of magic, shit on causality to "turn your wounds into illusions" for six seconds at the cost of your sight in that eye, create a mental time loop for someone until they give up, and get some bullshit power unique to the individual like the ability to mind-control anyone or displace matter or get really really good control of the black fire.
Some people are born with power and immense talent, and some people are nobodies like Naruto.
He did have The Nine-Tailed Fox sealed inside him as a baby, which is an evil demon who hates humanity and wants to be free. But he's not on Naruto's side, and whenever Naruto gets pissed the fox tries to escape.
Naruto was considered a loser by everyone who knew him, and he was a loudmouthed knuckleheaded brat. And yet, he had potential. Once someone told him to do it, he was able to sneak into the Hokage's (Ninja President's) tower, steal the Forbidden Scroll, and learn one technique from it that would quickly become his signature move: The Shadow Clone Jutsu. He saved the life of the teacher that liked him.
He was assigned to a team that hated him at first, getting stuck with the lazy genius Kakashi Hatake, the "grumpy on the outside, kind on the inside" (at first) Sasuke Uchiha, and the shit Sakura Haruno.
The author Kishimoto wanted Sakura to be a normal girl to contrast the stronger and more interesting characters in her team. This was a really stupid move, as Sakura's the least interesting/funny/likable female character in a show where females are already usually uninteresting/unfunny/unlikable, making the rare good females stand out.
Naruto had the odds stacked against him for all of the show, when it was good. He was a nobody who worked hard, and proved to the world he can improve even if they've written him off as a "dead-last loser for life". He beats some fatalist guy who says "People cannot change their destiny" and it's epic. He defeats many foes destined to be stronger than him by working his ass off.
And then, near the end of the tale, the author decides to retcon Naruto's parentage.
Suddenly, Naruto was always some fucking Crusader Kings god-baby with two of the greatest parents possible. His dad turned out to be The Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, The Fourth Hokage. And his mom was Kushina Uzumaki, a previous Jinchuriki for the Nine-Tails. Their family tree's full of previous Hokage and super-powerful/important people, and Naruto is not only directly related to The Sage Of Six Paths (mythical Ninja Jesus), he is also the reincarnation of the good son of the Sage of Six Paths who's destined to get strong and battle the reincarnation of the evil son. Naruto always had it easier than those with worse parentage.
The final powerups necessary to defeat the final bosses don't come from the people of the Ninja world training hard and using great teamwork and strategy to overcome overwhelming odds. It's handed to them by deus ex machina ninja jesus spirits.
This really detracts from all the "Fuck destiny!" shit the story's said until now.

Discussing Naruto can be fun. Arguing over Naruto can be fun. But what is more reductive than yelling "fuck you for everything you just said it's proof that you're dumb" no matter what I say? What's with the wannabe-bond villain chuuni language like "that would be a megalomaniacal self delusion of veritably unravelled(sic) proportions"? I'm not saying you have to express disagreements with me respectfully, everyone's welcome to express yourselves however you want. But I don't see the logic in acting that way. What does anyone get out of it? What is gained from the "To be fair you have to have a very high IQ to love everything about Naruto as it is" talk?
I think Naruto would have turned out better if it avoided the escalation spiral that turned the stealthy kung fu ninja show with occasional magic use into glowing men blasting each other with energy balls on the moon. The first arc was shockingly gritty and down to earth compared to where the story would go. Can any future villain matter if he lacks Uchiha eyes or Kaguya blood or something even more overpowered? I can't see a figure like Gato rising again.
I also think the setting of Dragon Ball had more potential in it before Toriyama got addicted to saying "This is the strongest guy", making Goku surpass him, and setting up new strongest guys. Roshi didn't have to be the world's strongest and Goku didn't have to surpass him. There didn't have to be fiveish tiers of deities and when the heroes went to space/started fighting people from space, Freeza didn't have to be the strongest in the universe besides Cell and Buu. When escalating things to the multiversal level, Tori didn't have to say there were only about 12 universes tops or introduce all of the strongest guys in all of them in a big tournament for universal survival only for most of them to turn out to be jokes and jobbers besides Jiren, the personification of modern Dragon Ball's dullness. A big brick wall for Goku to smash. The Pride Troopers were supposed to be superhero parodies so they say justice now and then until Jiren randomly says fuck justice, and the Magical Girl parodies were magical girl parodies so they said love a lot. Anyone remember when Tori wrote the Ginyu Force as a Power Rangers parody except the things they were mocked for (striking poses, leaving themselves open by talking for too long or charging up attacks, playing rock paper scissors to see who fights first) is stuff other characters in the show regularly do? I once heard a fan theory that said Jiren is a Buddha reference and that's why he meditates. Neat.

You are dumb. Your conclusions and misinterpretations of constructive criticism has proven that ad infinitum. When an overwhelming volume of evidence presents its self leading toward an inevitable conclusion and a person asserts this, you respond with gaslighting and misrepresent the entire exchange, as well as the concepts inherent. I dont know whether you lack the ability to grasp the content of the exchanges or whether you're deliberately attempting to skew the exchange in a light far less damning for yourself. Oh wait, I do know, it's a mix of both. But when presented with objective terms and evidence you cry "buzzwords!". When your position is soundly refuted, you screech about how you're being targeted.

Now, while I have no doubt that you have already hit the reply button and are halfway through a diatribe of projection, stonewalling, selective ignorance, and loads of delusional bullshit, let me tell you how to make your positions unassailable.
Wrong: (insert series) is bad for the following reasons.
Correct: I didnt like (insert series) for these reasons

We've been over this before Nigel, your opinion on this is subjective, not objective. Just because you dont grasp/appreciate/recognize something as having quality doesnt make it so. You're just one dude who could stand to put a little less stock in your conclusions. Or, you could present them AS opinions, rather than trying to formulate them as though your opinion is unassailable.
>Tl;dr The only way you can make your opinions objectively true is to acknowledge that they are only subjectively true
https://youtu.be/EAN6LuiXKDA
While I know you are already spinning the message in a fallacious manner, 3:45 onward is specifically in line with what I am getting at. People are allowed to like things. Your dislike of those things doesnt make you right and them wrong. I could assail your interests all day long, and while that might be appreciable to those who likewise dont like things, it would be the same scenario.

WHEN you want to have an OBJECTIVE discussion about Naruto and the few ACTUAL retcons, I'll be happy to have that discussion. But, until then, going on tirades about how the thing you dont like is bad and anyone who disagrees is anything other than a person who disagrees is childish.
Someday, you'll be better than that. Or you won't; the choice is yours.

Wait, that's why you're mad?
I don't get why you're yelling "Speculative and worthless!" at me just for that, but alright.
I'll say subjective over and over if that calms you down.
I subjectively thought the setting of Naruto was a more interesting place when we didn't know what to expect and the Uchiha/Senju/Moon People families weren't OP demigods with what I subjectively consider to be shark-jumping powers.

>But please, show some respect. It is CERTAINLY among the greatest, whether for memes, social impact, popularity, scope, etc.
Harry Potter is popular, that doesn't make it flawless. Fallout Equestria is popular, that doesn't make it good. The new Star Wars films made a fuckton of money, but that doesn't make them above criticism whether that's subobjective or obsubjective.

But there's something new I've been thinking about...
I also subjectively think the story would have been interesting if the Ninja Countries were more different from each other.
Every nation has a civilian ruler with a name I forget and their own Ninja Village with its own leader called a Hokage. Every nation teaches its ninjas the same stuff (except for the rare kids studying something unusual like puppets), and a similar culture, and every nation has the same ninja-mission system with the same ranks.
What fundamental differences are there between the nations besides where they are locatedd? Mist was "The Bloody Mist Village" for a while and had kids kill each other until Zabuza killed his whole class and ended the tradition, but that stuff goes away on its own by the time the Hokage Summit happens. Sand has long-range fighters and puppet guys, Tsunade gets the Leaf to teach one person per team medical jutsu, and the Raikage likes having a partner that can match his strength for a double lariat attack.
Don't you think the story would have been more interesting if the nations were very different from one another when it comes to how they are ruled and how they operate?

Sit down and spend a whole day thinking about a one-shot story in tousend words and make the greatest piece you have ever written. You are good at writing so why not test you wings?

What about some writing tennis? I write and you continue it tomorrow and I the next day. The first one to fail their responsibility to write loses. Feel no pressure it dosent' have to be that good.

Okay, I serve.

Anon crawled out of his bed when the sunlight began to prod his closed eyes. Walking downstairs like downsyndrome-zombie, Anon was unconsiously expceting to be passed by his imouto, Nonny, in the staircase. This was not the case though. In fact, when he reach the kitchen table he realized that she wasn't even up yet.

Suddenly, he was fully awake and he gave her spot at the table a double take. For a moment he thought he would go up and wake her but then decided against it. If she wanted to snooze for once, thenthat as okay and besides he just knew he would be called out for being a hypocrite about it since he used to mock her for being nervrotic like jew, to theiir mother's disapproval of course, in the morning.

He glanced at the clock and made a mental note to wake her up in five minutes. He made a two sandwiches with ham and then poured himself a glass of milk while he pondered how he would tease his sister for this.

Five minutes came an went and Anon gave her five more. Nothing.

Anon shook his head and moved up to his sister's door. He knocked the coor with his knuckles.

"Nonny, wakey wakey! The sun shines and the birds chriping." But nothing. "Hello?... Nonny?... Okay, I'm coming in okay? So don't be naked," Anon said.

He opened the door slowly. He was expecting it to be slammed shut any second now and to be berated by her angry sister. However, he ended up opening the whole door.

The room was a mess. The floor were littered with clothes. Anon noticed this when he stepped on something soft that clinged around his toes, it was a pair of pink panties!!!

Anon shook off the panties from his foot.

Books seems to have fallen from their places on the bookshelf and had been left laying on the floor.

His sister's desk was covered by map and next of the city and next ot it was a card. He picked the card up to investigate it. First he only saw a black plain side with three golden cricles intersecting with each other. He flipped it around in his hand. The otherside, was a picture of a monster-like creature that would be closest compared to a cheese with its many holes replaced with toothy mouths and worm-like tentacles coming out from it.

Anon didn't know his sister had followed up on his advice to read based lovecraft but it seems like she had. Good for her. He put the card back down.

A cool brezee entered through the window that was mostly covered up by curtains.

He realized that he mess had distracted him from his purpose here. His gaze wanderd to the foor of the bed and found a throng of wangaurds of stuffed animals and then the at the bundle of blankets further up in the bed.

He walked up to the side of her bed. She was wearing some strange blue shirt. It had short sleeves but puffy. Her hair was braided in as if of a professional and on top of that was a silver and blue tiara.

Suddenly, she rolled towards him and the many of the blankets covering her fell off revealing that she was wearing a fancy blue skirt and silver ballet shoes.

Anon grinned as he shook his head. What the fuck? Was she LARPing as a fairy when she was alone? Kek, this was gold.

He then saw a that she was embracing something. Was that a pony?

In her arms, a dog-sized white pony with a blone mane was snoozing.

If most be a new stuffed pet, right? Anon thought as he poked it with his finger.

It openedits eye and their gazes meet.

They both screamed like faggots.

Posting some unfinished stuff that hasn't been proofread.

Black hair that reached all across the girl's back hung from a lithe girl walking in tan school uniform side by side with another girl wearing the same uniform. This girl had pink hair and pigtails. She was holding the other girl's hand as they walked with one hand and the other was used to hold an ice-cream cone. They both had ice-cream, the black haired girl had a strawberry one with two pink(dafuq) balls in the waffle cone and the pink girl had two different flavours and therefore two different balls; one blue, blueberry flavour; and one brown, chocolate flavour.

They were walking along a dirt path in the park with a small lake on one side and trees on the other. Skyscrapers rose up in the horizon behind the glittering waves of the lake. A few guys jogged around them in a line, wearing shorts, t-shirts, and caps.

The black haired girl stuck her tongue out and rose her ice-cream up to meet. She tentitively took a lick on one of the balls before she licked up melted ice-cream drawing lines done her cone. She pouted and furrowed her eyebrows at the ice-cream.

She looked over at the other girl. She took small bites on the ice-cream which left ring of either brown or blue around her mouth. She licked that up but usually was unable to get everything, ending up with few colorful spot on her cheeks. She then sucked up the melted lines on her cone as well.

The pink haired girl noticed that she was watched so she turned to the the other girl. She smiled at the other girl with a new ring of blue ice-cream around her mouth and the n with the hand she held her ice-cream she pointed at the other ice-cream.

”Hey, Homura. You havn't even touched yours,” the pink haired one said, and tilted her head forward while highering her eyebrows.

Homura looked blankly at the pink one's cream coverd mouth and then back at her ice-cream which balls which still lookd round.

”It is hard to eat without getting some around your lips,” Homura said.

”That's what makes it so fun!” the pink one exclaimed. ”You don't need to worry about spilling since there is no way to eat it proper anyway, like other finger licking foods.”

The pink one grinned at her.

”I don't think you can't eat this properly though. If I had a spoon I would be able to...” Homura began.

The other girl giggled.

”Homura! Do I look like I worry about being proper?” the pink one said, she smiled at Homura and then stuck out her tongue that was colored purple due to the ice-cream. ”Bleeeeeeeeeh.”

”Haaa,” Homura panted at Madoka's close and outstretched tongue.

The one with pigtails noticed this and closed her mouth. She looked at *Homura with raised eyebrows before a smirk appeared. She dived down and took a chunk of Homura's ice-cream. One of her cheak bluged out as she place it there.

”Tehehehe, If you do't eat faster, I'll eat it for you,” she got out through her mouth of ice-cream.

At firstHomura looked at her wide-eyed, then she smiled and exhaled in pleasure.

”Can I taste yours?” Homura asked, and nodded towards the other girl's ice-cream.

The other girl nodded.

”Of course,” she said, and brought it up to Homura's face.”Here. Take a large bite.”

Homura opened her mouth, sank her teeth in, and took an about the same size of the other girl's ice-cream. She felt how she had gotten some around her lips so she brought up her hand towipe it off.

The other girl then duck down towards that hand and licked up the ice-cream smudge on Homura's wrist. She then turned upwards toward Homura's face while licking a mouth while giving off a coy expression.

This sure is a strange timeline, Homura thought.

-

A chill crept over Homura's skin and made her hairs stand up. The other girl felt it too. The buildings in the distance disappeared from view as grey fog came forth. The dirt path turned from brown to black tar that their shoes sunk a bit into.

The other girl looked around with wide-eyes.

"Whe- where are we?" she asked in a higher pitch than usual.

Homura narraowed her eyes and showed some teeth as she looked ahead.

"We are in a witch's Labyrinth," she growled.

Homura dropped her ice-cream, brought her, now free hand, to the other hand, removed its silver ring and transformed it back into an purple egg decorated by a gold container. She made a gesture above her soul gem and it turned into a body of purple energy that exploded into tiny particles. These particles swirled around her body and her current school uniform was replaced with a grey and purple dress. Around her left wrist a small round shield came to be.

The other girl gaped at her.

"Come, Madoka. We don't wanna linger," Homura said while lifting one of her shoes. A few strands of black goo still hung between her shoe and the ground. A wrinkle appeared between her eyes.

Homura meet Madoka's gaze. Madoka's mouth made an inaudible, "Wha?" She looked around while trembling and holding her uppper arms thight against her body.

"Haa... Haa... Homura. What's haa... Going on?" she asked in between ragged breaths.

With wide-eyes Madoka looked up into Homura's eyes.

Homura cast her eyes down.

"I didn't want to involve you in this," Homura said and met Madoka's eyes with determined eyes and thin lips. "Madoka. You need to do everything I tell you from now on. This-" Homura gestured towards their surroundings. "-is a witch's labyrinth. There are things in here that can kills us both." Homura grapped hold of Madoka' shoulders. "Do you understand?"

Madoka pulled a bit back from Homura's intensity.

"No. Not really," Madoka said and shook her head. Madoka's eyes traveled across Homura's new outfit. "Where did your new clothes come from?"

Homura showed the glowing purple romb gem that was stuck to the back of her right hand.

"This-" Homura pointed at the gem. "-is a soul gem. With it I can turn into a magical girl and it gives me the power to fight against witches."

Homura saw that Madoka was stunned as she watched the gem.

Splash splash splash splash.

As Homura turned her head in the direction of the sounds, she reached into her shield and brought out a gun.

Out of the fog a black shape appeared. It was a black giant spider. Its body was the size of one o the girls but its legs were longer and hairier.

"Ahhh!" screamed Madoka, and hide her face in Homura's chest.

Homura glared at it before an explosion in front of her gun appeared and the spider flew backwards as parts of it rained down and splashed in the tar.

The bang made Madoka looked back. As she saw the smoking barrel of Homura's gun and the crumbled body of the very still laying spider, she pieced together what had happned.

Homura dargged Madoka to her so their faces were only inches away from eachother.

"I'll protect you," Homura said in a firm voice.

A blush appeared on Madoka's cheeks.

Homura released Madoka and walked forward, dragging her after her.

Splash splash.

Homura turned towards Madoka and pointed towards her own shoes.

"Make sure that you step into the tar slowly, like this," Homura whispered while lifting her shoe out and back into the tar without making a sound," so there is no splash. That way it will be easier to hear if something else charges at us."

Madoka nodded. She dropped her ice-cream and use the hand to embrace Homura's shield hand even futher. She now walked right behind Homura as they walked.

Homura's eyes darted back and forth over while listening for the smallest of sounds as they walked with slow peace across the field of tar.

Then, schlurp!

As Homuras took a step forward, her leg sunk into the tar to her knee before she found something to stand on with her heel. She pulled back in jerk and as the tar released her, she fell back and she and Madoka ended up with their backs in the tar.

"Ahh!" Madoka yelled as she Homura's body forced her into the tar.

Homura bounced back up to a sitting position propped up on her arms.

"Madoka!" she shouted and with dilated pupils.

-

She saw half of Madoka's face was submerged under the tar and black blobs were on her none dirty side.

-

Homura grabbed hold of Madoka's shoulder and tried to raise her.

"Oww!" she shouted as her hair got pulled due to her pigtails being stuck in the black mud.

Homura fished them up and then wiped away the filth out of one of Madoka's eyes.

Raising madoka to her feets and standing up, Homura felt with her foot were around the large hole in the black goonow was, where she has sunk. She could feel that there was an edge underneath the jelly of doom. She followed the edge with her foot.

Homura brought out a sheathed katana and poked through the black filth to feel the ground beneath as to navigate them passed any more sudden depths.

They cold see further in the fog now and they could see webs hanging like a ceiling of hammocks above them. They arrived at grey stone staircase that spiraled high upwards and disappeared out of sight into webs. They lefts black footprints on the steps in the begining of their ascent.

Strands of spiderwebs attached themselves more and more to the spiral staircase as they proceeded upwards. Madoka's lips pointed downwards and her eyebrows formed a rooftop when she saw white web cacoons with discernible black shapes inside them wiggle as they hung from underneath the stairs they would soon reach.

Now the stairs they walked on was tunnel of webs. They had to watch their steps not stepping on any of the webs in what was mostly web covered steps.

A wet clicking sound crept from one side of the tunnel, over it, and to the other side. Homura and Madoka stopped as they heard it and waited a bit there. Homura had not heard the sound decreasing so she glared at the wall where the sound had last been heard.

Up ahead she saw that there was a hole in one of the web walls. She digged into her shield, brought out a silencer, and screwed it on. She moved forward till she was just around the corner of the hole. In one smooth movement she turned the corner with her pistol frst. The barrel was just inches away from the eight gleaming black eyes of a giant spider that held onto the edge of the hole with most of its legs, looking ready to pounce.

It hissed but just barely as Homura silenced it in an instance. Its face blew up. The shoot made the veil of webs sway. Homura's eyes went wide when she saw how the webs moved as sails in the wind.

"We will have to run now. Make sure that you do not step in any of it," Homura said to Madoaka after she turned around to face her. "Now follow me."

Homura ran at her slowest pace while dragging Madoka behind her.

Madoka kept her gaze on her feets. She ran on thin line of non-webbed stone and everytime Homura skipped over something in front she would follow and fly over a strand of web crossing from wall to wall.

The girls heard the wet clicking sound from before but this time it came from many places at once. Bulky shadows with legs like sticks revealed themselves behind the webs as thunder lit everyhing up. It seemed as if they were surrounded by giant spiders. Madoka covered her mouth with wide eyes.

Homura put back both the katana and her pistol into the shield and then, after a momentof digging, brought out a flamethrower. Madoka stared at it. Homura didn't stop as she threw on backpack tanks' straps and readied the rifle part of it.

Homura's shield turned and the wet clicking stopped. She held down the trigger and her rifle spewed out swirling fuffy flames. The webs further ahead in the tunnel was hit and began to shrink and turn to black. But then they stopped being no longer connected with homura. Homura walked into the enflamed tunnel and ripped open the web walls by the force of the fire's impact alone. She walked back passed Madoka and did the same on those walls. After this, she went back to Madoka and release time.

A harmony of gurgling screams surrounded them. Their part of the web tunnel was the only one not being lit, for now.

Madoka's head twirled around shocked as the web tunnel behind them and in front of them inexplicably caught fire. She then saw that Homura stood a bit further ahead than before and that she was holding a flamethrower.

One spider, who had gotten a direct shoot of flames, fell through the burning tunnel's roof and landed in their view ingulfed in flames like a balrog. The flaming spider ran towards them and pounced.

It froze in the air as Homura's shield turned. She put back her flamethrower in her shield and removed her, now unsheathed, katana from it. In one quick swing, she split the head of the burning spider and one of its fangs spun off.

She release time again.

The spider flew towards them and Madoka screamed but Homura merely swatted it away with the flat side of her sword.

-

More burning black bodies crashed on the steps ahead. The roof over Madoka and Homura was chipped away at by the torrent of flames from both sides.

Homura grapped madoka's hand and then spun her wheel. The yellow flames one webs and spiders froze and the crackling as well.

"I have stopped time. We should get out of here," Homura said, and kicked aside a burning spider corpse.

"Woah," Madoka said, her mouth was shaped like a large, "o," and her forehead was wrinkled.

As Madoka looked at the forzen flames, Homura glanced at her sideways. Homura pulled Madoka forward as they began to traversed the burning tunnel ahead. When they got passed the burning parts, Homura ran while dragging Madoka behind her.

"I'll start time again. I most savesome for the witch," Homura threw back, and her shield screetched as it spun.

The sound of fire could be heard again behind them and the roars of suffering spiders.

They ascended a about a five story building in stairs before Madoka began to lag behind. Her legs were heavy and her feet hurt. She leaned forward while hanging onto Hmura's hand. Droplets of sweat poured down her face and dark spots appeared on her uniform around her armpits and from her collor down her chest.

"Haaa. Haaa. Haaa. Haaa. Homura," Madoka panted.

"Just a little bit further," Homura said, and threw her katana so it spunin the air and pierced a web wall.

A gurgling hiss rang out and the web was filled with blood that flowed along the katana and from there dripped off onto the stone steps.

"We are soon there," Homura added.

Wet clicking noices could be heard comming closer and closer from steps below. Madoak looked back in fright but Homura only grabbed a molotov in her shield. Transparent tape held a match stick to the bottle neck. Homura ripped it off and lit it by dragging it across her shield. With the molotov lit, she tossed it over her shoulder. The sound of glass shattering and a small flaming explosion reach her ears but soon afterward the soon of gurgling hisses. Homura smiled as she ran.

Madoka had picked up the pace and now ran normally right behind Homura. Her eyes were wide while her pupils small and her teeth clenched.

The stairs stopped turning and straighten up as the steps disappeared into a birghtly lit portal ahead. Homura pointed at it.

"There, Madoka. We can rest after we get passed there," she shouted.

They ran through the portal and ended up on a circular stone plateau.

There was a cicular hole in the center of the plaform. Webs like a wall of clouds fenced in the area and the high ceiling was also made of webs.

Spiders could bee seen high up on the walls, extending their their front legs while dancing to the side like crabs.

The platform shook lke an earthquake and Madoka had to lean on Homura too keep balance. Rumbling sprung up from the holoe in the center and soon it was followed by a large black monster being elevated up by a cicular platform that filled the hole prefectly.

A purple skinned naked woman which lower body was that of a spider and head was black worm with rows of jagged teeth that bit not by two jaw halves comming togehter but like a noose bringing the teeths into its center. She had crab claws instead of arms that sapped from time to time.

"That-" Homura pointed at the witch. "-is our exit." Homura's hand went for her shield but the worm head of the witch flew towards them. It froze a meter away from Homura, its mouth having tirple extended itself to the point that itt could swallow them both whole.

Madoka, who had let go of Homura's hand when they entered the room, were frozen in a backstep while exteneding her palms agains the mouth.

Homura brought out an rocket propelled grande launcher and fire off a rocket straight down its throat. Next, she brought out a machine gun and fired off several clips of amunition onto the body of the spider. She also set the body on fire with the flamethrower from before, then she returned to Madoka.

She grabbed Madoka's shoulder and Madoka jerked around before seeing that time had stopped.

"Come, grab my hand. We don't wanna be here when I resume time," Homura said, and Madoka grabbed her hand and followed her as she lead them off the platfeau through the portal and back onto the stairs.

Homura resumed time. A loud bang followed and a gurgling howl of pain. Then the staircase and all the webs slowly disappeared from view. Both Homura and Madoka were back on the dirt path in tha park.

"Strong labyrinth, weak witch," Homura noted, as she picked up the grief seed it left.

Then Madoka smooched Homura.

"My hero."

Homura blushed and thought that maybe witch hunts with Madoka wasn't so bad after all.

What would American Anime be?

An odd discussion topic, but considering how most Shonen anime are intertwined with Japanese culture, what do you think an American anime would look like?

Not just western cartoon that copies the Japanese art style and assorted asian themes/symbolism/spirituality like Avatar, but a purely American thing that looks Japanese but still kept the American sensibilities.

Maybe it would be something like My Hero Academia.
That show draws almost everything from its take on a western superhero world. And its villains are evil "revolutionaries" who just want to create a world where they can be free to be creepy/evil assholes. Any "grrr fuck heroes, they're just in it for the money and fame!" bullshit they say doesn't justify the obviously-evil shit they do.

It's not just hilarious and pretty hot sometimes, it's also redpilled!
Government intervention and "anti-racism" do more harm than good in this series.
Like the "no fucking your monster-girl homestay" law that gets in the way of the show's loving relationships fucking
and the "Monster and human can't legally hurt each other" law that means a gang of human rapists can grope a centaur girl all they want, she'll be in trouble if she kicks them away and runs away, and a human will be needed to save her.
It also acknowledges the fact that there are fundamental differences between races that means they should get and require different treatments.
Sometimes dumb fucking Orcs will break into a manga shop and take hostages, and it will be necessary to put them down like mad dogs. And if the govt says humans and monsters can't harm each other and only monster can harm monster, that means a squad of monsters allowed to kill led by a human will be needed to do the deed.
If you're going to have a Mermaid with you, she will need a swimming pool to live in. A mermaid girl will never be a professional sprinter.
Sometimes a Slime Girl is going to feed on a woman's fluids and if that feels like molestation to you, that's on you.
The thing that makes the government worker character, Agent Smith, a good guy? She usually knows when to turn her head and look the other way, like she did when Suu was introduced and she said "fuck it i'm too busy to admit i just discovered a new monster species, if anyone asks she doesn't legally exist"
It's not extremely redpilled, and I find myself wondering where all this cash to make swimming pools and house expansions comes from (monster lands, hopefully) but it's still a nice change of pace.

I'm more of a /lit/ fag than an anime kind of guy, but people have been recommending me animes left and right lately and I'd like to give some of them a shot in their best possible format. I'm a bit nervous about Piratebay because of the takeover there, and I'd like to know what sites you all use for your anime torrenting.

I'm fairly /lit/ myself and I have been watching anime a long time. I know a lot of older and lesser known stuff that often doesn't get mentioned, I can probably make some recommendations you'd like. I'll go through my collection and see if I can put together a list in the next few days.

Sorry, I was falling asleep when I wrote that last post and completely forgot about this. Here are my recommendations for some good story anime, in no particular order:

>Cowboy Bebop
This is quite possibly the best thing Japan has ever made. If you've never seen it, you need to watch it immediately.

>FLCL
This one is only six episodes long, and you will probably not like it the first time you watch it, particularly if you don't watch a lot of anime. It's very bizarre and parts of the story are borderline nonsensical. However, I recommend watching through it at least twice, because once you get past the weirdness it's actually a really well-told story about early adolescence. Along with Cowboy Bebop, it also has probably one of the best soundtracks of any anime.

>Record of Lodoss War
This is a now mostly forgotten gem from the 90s that is nonetheless worth watching. It's basically just an animated version of someone's Dungeons and Dragons game, but its fun. There is also a second series called Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, which basically tells the same story with different characters, and even more confusingly overlaps with actual events from the first story. But both are good.

>Fractale
This one is actually somewhat redpilled in that it explores a world in which UBI exists, and shows the kind of atomized, purposeless, friendless lives that humans would most probably live in a world where all their basic needs are provided by government and people mostly communicate through virtual reality. A covert group of survivalists rebells and forms a self-sufficient community that refuses all gibs from the AI government. If I remember correctly it gets pretty bizarre towards the end.

>Kaze No Yojimbo
I've never met another person who has even heard of this series, but it's great if you are able to find it somewhere. It's a contemporary story based on the plot of the Akira Kurosawa film Yojimbo.

>Bamboo Blade
Fun story about a high-school girls' kendo club and the lives of its members. A fairly lighthearted story that is nonetheless quite good. I remember enjoying it a lot.

>Charlotte
Fair warning: this one will induce heavy feels. It was written by some of the people from Key, who make visual novels. If you're familiar with the types of stories they write, you should have a rough idea of the kinds of feels you're in for. Highly recommend, though.

>Barakamon
Renowned calligraphy artist gets angry and punches a critic in the face over a bad review, and his agent sends him to cool out in a remote village in the country. While there, he develops a relationship with some locals and rediscovers his purpose in both art and life. This is probably the most /lit/-tier anime on this list.

>Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
Another good story about growing up and coming to terms with things. Has a lot of random silliness to it, but there's a deeper story underneath if you stick with it.

>Revolutionary Girl Utena
This one is good if you like mindfuck stories. The movie is especially weird. If you've ever seen Madoka Magica, I felt that it borrowed a lot from Utena. Basically a dark magical girl story. There's some covert lesbian stuff in there that you can probably ignore.

>Higurashi When They Cry
I'm almost hesitant to include this one on a list of anime recommendations, because the anime itself is not that good. However, it's based on a series of visual novels that are absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend playing the visual novels first; however, as they can be a bit of a time investment, the manga does a pretty decent job of adapting the story and will do in a pinch. However I don't recommend starting with the anime as it abridges quite a bit of the story and leaves out some important details.

>Elfen Lied
Fair warning: this one will also induce heavy feels. It is also pretty fucked-up and gory if that bothers you. Actually, both warnings apply to Higurashi as well.

>Gankutsuou
The Count of Monte Cristo adapted into a sci-fi anime. It has a very unusual visual style that a lot of people don't care for, but if you can get past that it's a good series.

>Chrono Crusade
I haven't seen this one in a long time so it may not be as good as I remember it, but I do remember liking it a lot. Story about a nun and a reformed demon who go around fighting devils and satanism.

>Night Walker
Another old, mostly forgotten gem from the 90s. Kind of a cornball and cliche story about a vampire who feels remorse for taking human life, but it's good.

>Gunslinger Girl
Little girls that have endured excessive trauma and abuse are taken into custody by the Italian government, have their memories wiped and are transformed into bionic super-soldiers who perform contract kills. An incredibly fucked up and bizarre premise that nonetheless makes a pretty good story. There are a few spinoffs of varying quality.

>Excel Saga
This one really doesn't deserve to be on this list, I just like it. The story is complete nonsense but it's funny as fuck. Fair warning: the humor is somewhat degenerate at points.

If I think of more I will add them.

Main guy plays pawn to 8g.

"What? Was that a good move?" asked Moimoimoi-chan.
"The his pawn reach the otherside. It can now be promoted to a queen," said the nerdy guy who pushed his glasses slightly up at every sentence he said. "This kid he planned this all along."
One chracter was smirking, another was shocked, and the last one looked bored and above it all. The last one, an importal loli wampire, yawned and thought, Lol, this guy can't even promote all his pieces in one move.

But yeah, not follow the game move by move instead focus on the intresting positions that rrive in the games.
