Well in Castlevania case the whip used by main characters is special, made to destroy evil, in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence Leon Belmont uses the original version of the whip, Alchemy Whip, later in the game it becomes the Vampire Killer whip when his fiance Sara Trantoul who was turning into a vampire sacrifices herself to make the whip stronger, also know as Holy Whip or Magic Whip, that happend because his friend Mathias, who in the future becomes Dracula, becomes evil and wanted her too, in the end Leon swear that him and his clan will hunt the night and one day destroy him, which is why in all Castlevania where the main character uses a whip he's always a Belmont except for one game, there's also the Hunter Whip from the Baldwin clan but we see that only in one game and people even theorizes it's the same whip because of how characters call it in the next games, of course that's how things work in theory, cause other Castlevanias already showed us that any weapon, even normal non-magical, can kill Dracula and evil if you're strong enough.

All I read was some whining because I questioned the whip, vampires are fantasy, so what? There's various myths about vampires, various types of vampires in myth and fiction each with their own characteristics, being fantasy is no excuse to not have differences and rules to how they work, you don't care about them? Fair enough that's your choice, but don't come with that "no sense" bullshit cause that's not an argument, if all fiction was the same shit without rules to define their worlds and characters then it would be boring, trying to differentiate thing makes all sense.

Well I kind of understand not want to support Steam as from what I know they sell censored version of some VNs.

But ins't Castlevania whip magical or something like that? It's what I remember from that prequel for ps2.

Forgot to mention, the reason vampires didn't appear in mirrors was because in the past they used silver to make them.

Cross and holy water too, as for silver from what I know both vampires and werewolf are weak to it, they use bullets against werewolf cause it makes the kill easier.

Undertale Honest Trailer

I've never watched those before, that was pretty good.

I'm partial to Zero Punctuation's review of Undertale:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCFGU79rX34

They have various channels but only in two they put those videos, so they have two different playlists of Honest Trailers, one for games and one for movies and a few series.

Now that I re-read everything... wasn't Hinako more mature at the begining? XD like at least she spoke normally and even complained to Kuroko because she didn't do her job properly haha.

She was changed from a police agent that kept an eye on Kuroko to a character without brain that looks like a mascot and Kuroko orders her arround and she doesn't ask a shit. Like from a smart kid to a baby.

That's called flandreization. The process where certain traits of a character become more exagerated as the series progresses. You see that a lot in long running series.

Flandreization? You mean Flanderization right? Named after Ned Flanders in case it's not obvious for someone.

We had a thread for webcomics, you can get more names there, yuri in other media thread also list some, since you created the thread why don't you make a list of all webcomics/webtoons? It's better to have all names listed in first post.

I've never come across anything regarding Ssamba's personal life. I mean, I think we're not even sure is she's a "she" if I'm not mistaken.

Generally in yuri I personally can tell the difference between male and female artists by one thing. Male usually tend to draw more sexually centered yuri mangas, while female focuses on the feelings more.
Of course this is not a rule (like the author of Prism who is male and some others I forget rn), but generally I noticed there is this patern going on in a lot of cases. But still, if a yuri artist is a female, it doesn't mean she's necesserily bi/gay.

I noticed that when the artist have few oneshots or doujin yuri that are basically about sex they're almost always male, if you search for more of their works they're almost always all het hentai too, but there is some artists that basically do mainly or only yuri hentai like Ooshima Tomo, Homura Subaru, Mira ahd Sekihara Umina who as far as we know are female and lesbian, I guess male artists doesn't have much interest because they can't self-insert themselves, you can also know by the quality of the sex scenes too, some are harder to know because they have few works like Comaku who you basically find only three images and the manga uploaded here and Mytyl that have few both het and yuri hentai and more yuri on pixiv.

Obviously some male and straight female artists do good yuri too, but most male artists do few yuri, Kurogane Ken, Asagi Ryuu and Amanagi Seiji are the only ones who I remember that did a lot of yuri and apparently still do, as for straight female artist, most of them we'll never really know their sexuality like Mikuni Hajime, but she's probably straight as according to Mangaupdates her last yuri is from 2011 and half her mangas are het or yaoi, Namori is another one that I don't think we know anything about her, but like I said some of the artists that are definitely the best and also the most prominent are lesbians or bisexual like Amano Shuninta, Takemiya Jin, Morinaga Milk and Morishima Akiko, there's an obvious difference in quality of their writing, Ooshima Tomo, Homura Subaru, Mira and Sekihara Umina definitely count too even though their works focus more on sex, that's why I can't help but wonder about Ssamba, at least I don't think it's a male artist, but if she's straight, lesbian or bi is impossble to know just by reading FF.

Since we're talking about Ssamba, does she have any other work or FF is her first? Any art made before or after FF that is unrelated to it?

Something that I think sometimes and I don't remember anyone asking, do we have any idea if Ssamba have a girlfriend? Some of the best yuri we have are from lesbians or bisexual womans, not necessarely in a relationship with another woman of course, but I was wondering if Ssamba have personal experience since FF characters and their interactions feel more realistic, not to mention the story in general is better than most yuri even if it have a few problems and forced cliches, like ex-boyfriend with perfect timing.

ena has her own personal norae? haha.

Agree. Future Seol-a (Enah) and future No-rae. Time Travel again? lol

But it's a bad future then? Since future Seol-a (Enah) has a male fiance instead of being with future No-rae... Maybe it was future No-rae idea to go back in time so she can fix the past and get future Seol-a (Enah).

A syndrom of "only six faces".

le negative nancy strikes again gg

Well it's true she suffer that, but that's not really a problem for FF, mangas, mawhas or anything else from asian countries, you know what they say, all asians look the same! Just kidding obviously.

Chapter (strip?) 59 already, even if confession happens in 60 can't help but feel half next chapters will be drama for being in a relationship, hope Ssamba extend the story, 40 chapters are not enough to show their fluffy relationship and whatever drama that will definitely come. (T-T)

As always thanks for the hard work halmoni and thanaton.

Made a quick search, it's Ayakashi Ninden Kunoichiban, it have 13 endings, apparently only female characters and in the best ending you marry one of them, unfortunately no translation for it.

The search also gave me this page where you can see name of a few other games with lesbians.

I think you're the one needing a billboard to see things, because the contradictions are on purpose, I even said in my reply to Koneko and Nezchan that I'm basically like them but more restrained, I try to not overreact and not be biased, but sometimes we can't help but be like that when the yuri is fucked up, we are yuri fans above all else after all, I just try to not be like those fans that people complain about.

Nezchan posted:

Now who's the one with the over the top hyperbole?

Well I am a yuri fan too, so of course I need to be exaggerated and dramatic.

koneko posted:

A true yuri fan is always a biased drama queen! So of course I'm the same, I just restrain myself.

So basically, I acted hypocrital on purpose, I admit that I overreacted in that old post but that doesn't mean I don't think before writing most posts I make, as for judging people, not only fanbase, any group is judged because of their vocal minorities who give them a bad name or ruin things for everyone, I can say lots of things that I don't even believe depending on my mood just to see how a discussion will go or how people will react, which ones are true you won't know, but I rarely act from emotion and write something I didn't want, you shouldn't take things at face value, especially in the internet, sorry that it made you unconfortable, but like I I said to OriginalGengar, I will say lots of things depending on my mood so don't take them personally.

...that I don't need YOU PATRONIZING the yuri fanbase about story opinions when you were GLAD a human died because she had the AUDACITY to change HER characters sexuality on a quick whim.

I'm not here to do what you need, about me being glad a human died, so what? I had a little overreaction and you're going to take it seriously? And even if I didn't overreacted I'm free to like or dislike the death of any human, as for said character, the entire story she always showed interest in girls and didn't like guys, only in the last chapter the guy who liked her proposed marriage so her family would stop trying to force marriage, it's not translated yet so I only know from raws, but her reaction and how she blushes heavily imply that they end up together, in the epilogue there's also a brief scene that they look coupleish, soon translation will get there and I'll have confirmation, but raws heavily imply lesbian ended with man.

GUYS! GUYS! MU didn't tag it, every problem is resolved RIGHT THERE! We better take off the yuri tag of every Nanoha official work.

You know what I meant so don't be a dick, as for Nanoha, not even the animes are tagged as yuri, because you know, yuri was never the focus, they're seinen series with confirmed hidden lesbian couple, and if you don't trust MU then go see MAL, they don't tag Nanoha as yuri either.

I kinda like flips' explanantion but I feel like if we used that, there would be a lot of yuri oneshots we would have to tag with it. The Bridesmaid from Ratana comes to mind. And that would probably stop a lot of people from reading a lot of oneshots because the definition (for the lack of a better word) that involves cheating is definitely the more common one.

Aoi Hana from the same mangaka should be tagged as NTR too then, cause Fumi did lose two love interest to guys, and Secret Love from Ootomo Megane is basically the same as The Bridesmaid, with the woman the main character loves marrying a guy.

But she was never his love interest, and if you go see in mangaupdates they didn't tag it as NTR either.

It only counts as NTR if they have at least mutual feelings, just go and see all mangas with the tag on mangaupdates, all of them the characters are in love with each other or are a couple, without mutual feelings or relationship it is not NTR.

I have to agree that this is in no way NTR, if the characters are not together then one can't be stolen from the other, I also have question the Student teacher, does it really count when she never had feelings for him? Cause the tag impies that it had romance between student and teacher.

I was just having fun. :/ I used way worse than Honorable Mention as endorsement of my skill. Still think votes are mostly useless when it's not a voting base you can identify with though.

Rather than identify with the voting base, I would say that it doesn't matter how many people think something is good if you think that is shit, when it comes to entertainment there's few things that you can say they are indeed shitty or not, most of the time it depends on the person, it's because of this that things likeTwilight and Fifty Shades of Grey sell millions even though for a lot of people they're nothing more than glorified fanfic for self-insert and that some think singers like 50 Cent have the best songs ever made and that Symphony No. 9 of Beethoven is shit.

“Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.”

Though I do admit I kind of liked Twilight movies, sometimes I wonder if it's my brain that is defective...

Which all means "won nothing" in nice. The whole concept of consolation prize is giving somebody something so they're not upset about winning nothing.
Not like getting votes is a sign of quality anyways. And where did your opinions-attitude go?

My opinions-attitude is out at the moment, don't worry it'll come back eventually, I say lots of things depending on my mood so don't take them personally

Nezchan posted:

Honourable Mention often means "in the top four or five, but didn't get one of the cash prizes". Y'all clearly don't enter very many competitions, it's actually a good indication that your skills are close to the top.

If the story I have in a contest right now gets the equivalent of 4th place, I'll consider that a good endorsement of my skill, rather than a crappy consolation prize. For a writer or artist starting out it's a good showing.

I never entered a contest so I don't have anya idea how things really work, I did knew that Honourable Mention was something good but I was not sure how good it was or if was any different from a consolation prize.

You also said that it is indication of the artist skill, I'm pretty sure I read other works of this mangaka, I'm just not sure if it was safe or hentai, but I'm 90% sure I recognize the art style, the name is 赤ずきんの殺し方 - どもち, which google translate as How to kill the Little Red Riding Hood - Domochi, I searched but didn't find any mangaka named Domochi, so either I recognize the art from a pixiv artist I saw on Danbooru or the mangaka used a pseudonym, although the action scenes are not very good the art is of someone with some experience, if I could just remember where did I see it.

I also didn't notice the contest was over, "honorable mention" , so much for "it won't win anything" and " worse than most doujins" xD, not complaning, I don't think it was so bad, but would never change winner for it or any other manga, Murcielago was definitely the best choice~~

Well, Honorable Mention is pretty much "won nothing" in nice.

I would say it's more like a consolation prize, "better than the rest of the losers, but not good enough to be a real winner" or "was good enough to be noticed, but not enough to deserve a prize that matter", still means people didn't think it was so bad as some here think it is.

so uh... I watched the OFFICIAL english dub of Ghost Stories anime

I remember reading about it, apparently no one cared about the anime in japan and the studio that made it was almost closing, so they sold the rights and didn't put any restrictions as long they made it sell, which is why the dub is like that, years later another publisher made proper dub that is truer to the original, so it have two official dubs, it's pretty much the first abridged serie made, Tv Tropes has more details about it.

I am so glad such a thing exists tho!

I forgot to say, it seens they also made subs in the same way but with other jokes.
