>its just some horndog posting pics of black people
Suuure, and the fact that its primarily fan-illustrations of a black Nagatoro or demonstrations of anime-style black people is TOTALLY irrelevant.

>>25355
Re-read my post, carefully; "Point me to a where these 2 things in the same post."
Those are not the same post. Furthermore, you can be of the opinion that Nagatoro's relationship is an unhealthy or abusive one IRL and still amuse yourself with the idea of a black Nagatoro, because it's just a fictional anime/manga that got memed heavily.

NTA but 1) There are arguments ITT
2) Having a discussion in a thread does not necessitate people screaming in one another's faces, don't be a moron.

Nagatoro was only good when she was actually abusive like in the web comics. The manga and anime are just generic romcom harem trash.

>Pyrrha outright states that she liked Jaune because he didn't know who she was and so didn't treat her with the reverence
I meant that literally. Given the odds it should have been Ruby, but if they wanted a guy, it could have been Fox or Yatsuhashi for all intents and purposes. Just a decent guy, that's the territory we're in and the reason it feels like a moid is self-inserting.
>It doesn't, it's just a subversion of the typical "girl students crush on the top-student of the school" sort of thing we got with Sasuke.
This is exactly why it feels contrived, to have that crush on a wet blanket who develops into a slightly moist blanket with empathy. This is made even more dire by the fact he is terminally unfunny.
>Part of the story is NOT turning the other cheek
He indulges in the cliche about saving his bully, which is so much of a cliche at this point, it should either be subverted or not brought up at all. No one wants to watch Saved By The Bell again.
>she's shown no qualms about expressing her opinion in the face of bossy people or bullies.
Neither does Jaune before being threatened. Blackmail plots are designed to manufacture this exact situation, where a character is forced to grovel in front of someone unpleasant, and only reverse this dynamic in a final act of sex bravery. Honestly it would have lent Ruby more credence as a 15-year old dork.
>You don't need to constantly interact to be narrative foils.
His in-person dynamic with Ruby is about the only halfway well-thought out thing about Jaune and they squander it by most of the time relegating Ruby to the character the plot takes a dump on.

>Prior to the incel shite he was fairly obvious an extremist
And to the writers this meant he was a power-hungry maniac + abusive boyfriend. The people who deny this mentally wrote their own fanfiction for him after the black trailer and are grasping at straws to deny the showrunners being uberlibs.

>Given the odds it should have been Ruby, but if they wanted a guy
I repeat, pay attention to the show and how it was made. Monty deliberately wrote Team JNPR parallel to historical and mythological references to characters that crossdressed; Joan de Arc, Achilles, Thor, Mulan. Jaune was also a foil character to Ruby; he's made fellow Team Leader and since HIS Team ISN'T RWBY he forms relationships with the others, primarily first Pyrrha because Ren and Nora were a background dynamic. There's details on details on why Jaune was written as he was. He starts from the bottom. He's not meant to be this totally likeable Gary-Stu, it's part of his character progression, he fails a lot, is the butt of jokes and generally has to improve as a person in every way and earns it. You can call anything that does this a plot contrivance but that misuses the meaning.
>could have been Fox or Yatsuhashi
No, it couldn't have, for a number of reasons in and outside the story. Fox and Yatsu weren't designed yet, are older and don't match up.
>muh moids
Touch grass and don't be a femcel
>why it feels contrived
It doesn't. Jaune is ignorant, especially as to who Pyrrha is. Pyrrha is a socially isolated prodigy desperate for normalcy and Jaune fills that niche. It's not just a contrivance because it's part of Pyrrha's character and in some ways a flaw of hers, as her world view about being on a pedestal is what leads to her own death.
>a wet blanket
Do you even know what "wet blanket" means?
<a person who spoils other people's fun, enthusiasm, or enjoyment, acting as a damper on social situations or positive energy. Pessimistic or negative, they may doubt new ideas, complain frequently, or refuse to participate in enjoyable activities.
Jaune does none of those things, outside of the one arc where he learns to get over the macho attitude of "doing things on my own" and have the humility to accept help from others, he has never been a downer and always had empathy from the beginning.
>he is terminally unfunny
To you, because you clearly have some sort of bug up your ass over him

>muh monty
>muh plvnned from the beginning
I don't care for this.

>Jaune literally spends an entire scene denying being bullied and doing and saying nothing through a montage of Cardin being an ass.
Him playing it off seems like more of a "won't admit to weaknesss" thing. He doesn't want to respond to the hazing, neither would he not tell CRDL off, if they asked him to do the things he did under the threat of blackmail.

>WhiteRose is stupid
Wdym? Their V1 dynamic is fire.
>the liberalism in her plotline is significantly worse than in the RNJR plot
I can't imagine how they would tie that in on a literal camping trip.
>When RNJR arrive at Shion village, Ren finds the hoofprint of the Nuck at the ruins of the town, implying that after Raven and her band left
So your assertion Raven made a conscious choice to let the region be destroyed, is based on the assumption that the Grimm, other raiders or even the inhabitants wouldn't be capable of leaving ruins? The gang's initial obliviousness to the Apathy implies a village overtaken by a wave of Grimm would definitely be left a ruin, without the need for any sort of outside intervention.
>Raven has her tribe and is clearly powerful enough to fight off anyone 1v1

>I don't care for this.
And you're not the creator or writer or animator for RWBY, you are an anon on the internet. Either way, strawman non-argument.
>Him playing it off seems like more of a "won't admit to weaknesss" thing
You're splitting hairs.
>muh blackmail
Happened way after constant hazing and bullying, therefore irrelevant.
>Their V1 dynamic
Consists of bickering and reconciliation as Weiss has a character arc. That's not a ship, that's building friendship.
>I can't imagine how they would tie that in on a literal camping trip.
It's not that hard; throw in some feminist or racial idpol with various character interactions and you get typical liberal tripe writing. Which they didn't do.
>based on the assumption that the Grimm, other raiders or even the inhabitants wouldn't be capable of leaving ruins?
1) Don't be obtuse, Raven and her band are the ONLY bandits in the story and narratively that's who we are supposed to think of, it doesn't make sense for there to be another random bandit group that is never even shown to have done this.
2) Raven confirms it when Qrow talks about the remains of Shion village and how she has the Spring Maiden in her camp based on the destruction seen. Qrow is familiar with the maiden powers and knows their capabilities.
3) The huntsman that dies in front of RNJR also confirms it was bandits, followed by Grimm.

>That's not a ship, that's building friendship.
Ok mr. "dating isn't about friendship".
>throw in some feminist or racial idpol with various character interactions and you get typical liberal tripe writing.
You're livid. The menagerie plot never brings up le feminism, except maybe Blake lowkey antagonizing Sun, which is never framed in any serious way. It's a simple case of Play stupid fantasy racism games / Win stupid libshit prizes.

>The Academies were founded
That's the point. They're supposed to be Oz's vehicle to further his plot. We know at the start of the story he has 3 maidens, 4 academies + staff, the military might of all of Atlas and at least 1 federal agent. What else?
>THEY'RE ALREADY DECENTRALIZED
From the wiki:
>Some gifted Huntsmen, such as Maria Calavera, can acquire their licenses by taking a licensing exam, forgoing the need to attend the academies.
>In some rare cases, the Headmasters of the academies can grant individuals their licenses without the need for a proper graduation or taking the licensing exam, as was the case with James Ironwood who granted Teams RWBY and JNR their licenses after arriving in Atlas.
Academies are explicitely stated to be the site of a Mandarin-esque examination system. I don't see how that could go wrong…

Well, I know this isn't similar to anime music, but anyone knows the source of this jap ad canon choir music, somewhere between 0:25 until 0:41, when god descended upon them to grant them any wish? I've tried everything and still couldn't found it. Thanks, btw.

Still waiting for anime adaptation.

Just reminded me of Love Hina
Fuckin hate that anime/manga. Not only is it harem its just cringe.

>>26645
>Not only is it harem its just cringe.
And Love Hina is touted as a classic…

>>26650
Classic shit
Reread a few chapters and its abysmal how bad it is.

>>26650
It IS a classic, in the sense that everything you don't like about harem anime, Love Hina is directly responsible for.

Post-Ryodan Arc 2011 = 1999 TV anime + Ryodan OVA >>> 2011 up to Greed Island.

This is the correct opinion.

>>15745
I'll admit the series has good music at least. File ver

I honestly think the way the fandom talks about HxH gives people unreasonable expectations which leads to undeserved backlash. It's not super deep or grimdark (even "deconstruction" is a stretch), it's just a weird creative story that plays by its own rules. Also both anime versions completely screw up the pacing (as is wont for shonen adaptations) and make it harder to get into, in contrast to the manga where the first few arcs are actually very breezy and fun (that said I agree with >>25530 esp in regards to the art).
Anyway it's fucking back motherfuckers.

>>25912
I love Hunter X Hunter (mainly up to the Chimera Ant arc), but the manga/anime industry is so stale, partially due to the absurd working conditions and burnout, that anything that expresses even a tiny bit of genuine creativity/depth gets elevated and praised far more than it honestly deserves. It's the same feel I get from something like Punpun, although unlike HxH I think Punpun is an irredeemable steaming pile of shit.

>>29347
Thanks you got it

It’s just a butchered and japanwashed Journey to the West, it has the exact same powercreep as Chinese fiction

>>29367
Holy shit it’s like the show was based of a legend of a monkey with a staff. Almost like the name “son Goku” of an alien creature wielding a staff that changes shape based on his will and also transforms into a giant primate may have been influenced by something that actually exists in human mythology

I always forget this spinoff exists. It is rabidly anti-communist but not terrible, and I'm sure it was written before Hellsing was even a thing with all the weird name changes, faces for some characters being drastically different

Hellsing Abridged turned out to be pretty good.

TOOOOOOOO KI WAAAA

I don't understand why people love Berserk so much. Its kind of mid. Just a worse Devilman that gets so boring after the bit with the Inquisitor who's veins all pop out when he gets angry. Also no ending.
