Obligatory post on the first page

Also mods should be barred from being the OP of chat threads. Chat threads are for the people and should be by the people.

This tbh.

Shonen is good imo. Even if I haven't watched an anime in a while.

It's just a convenient short hand to explain how tough a character is without really needing to show much of them, which can be useful with as large a cast as shonen often deal with. So when like the Rival fights a lieutenant in the new villain group you know it should be an even fight even if this new character hasn't been around as much because he is a big deal in this organisation.

Shonen has kinda moved away from a universal power level thing like Dragonball had (and kinda started ignoring anyway) but it's still often a decent idea to be able to easily explain how strong some antagonists are at least in relation to each other.

I don't think the evil pirate groups of One Piece and their Yakuza hierarchies are meant for kids to relate their entrance exams to.

Being genuinely sincere here, what would've been better examples of fanfiction to post instead?

Touhou doujins.

Like genuinely totally a failure if this website was doing a selection of fanfiction for "an explanation of fandom" or something and didn't put a touhou doujin in there.

Jojo doesn't do redemption arcs. Either it's mindcontrol or just "don't worry about the intro this guy is cool".

I just don't think anime based on games usually turn out great. But yeah actually it will probably have some cool music, so it will probably be ok.

i feel slightly seen here but the truth is while I like anime it's not an actual hobby for me the way gaming is so i don't care to talk about it unless I just finished watching or reading something. i have the josei thread bookmarked though.

Don't know if it's been mentioned in the Josei thread recently but read Ikoku Nikki if you haven't yet imo.

If there's still any involvement from rooster teeth I wouldn't put much hope in it turning out alright.

Clearly they simply don't want to hear Plutonis' thoughts on the new baki chapter.
