I don't get it.Do I have to watch CandleWoods again?
I walked.
I hate it.
>>289364953I'm still burning to this day.
I can't believe Airi gave Carl a nursing handjob to cure her ED.
>>289365019It should have been me, not Carl.
Mishiro and Kinko watching from the cuck chair as Kyara and Moegi go inside Carl
I feel like if you got rid of the still shots you could edit this down to 20 minutes.
This whole series is carried by the sex nekometal designs
I have like 17 questions
>>289364953Then die.
>>289365137There were 18 answers to them in Candle Woods
It gets confusing when they can seemingly disembowel themselves and not die.
The killer reveal into numbering shift was kino. I really hope they get to do the whole series.Anyway why does Carl wear a 40 / 44 / 404 hairpin?
Useless Essay that can't kill anyone is cute!Cute!
>>289365155This was, unironically, explained in Candle Woods, and explained again in the movie, so it really doesn't.
>>289365170Still better than Moegi.
>>289365192I don't know, nobody killed themselves because Moegi was a disappointment
Actual question for LN readers, was introducing Threeshiro just to instakill her off a deliberate fuck you to the reception Golden Bath received or a genuine moment of the author thinking it was clever and subversive rather than infuriating?
Is this the current timeline or another flashback?How did Airi get her toes back?Why did she need a wheelchair in the first place?Is it so expensive to show characters talking?Was Yuki drugged again?I don't get the devices?Why did that girl randomly kill herself?Is Kyara still alive?Why does Mishiro still mog everyone?Whom is Carl?There was barely any beach?Why did Carl sneeze?Is Essei mexican?
Game would have been better if they had to play beach volleyball and if we got slow motion shots of their boobs jiggling.
I'm going to make a very wild comparison here but the way Symphogear handles Kanade is the way this series wishes it was handling its major dead players.
>>289365222She was there to beat the shit out of Carl and once Mishiro smiled upon her from lesbian heaven she could leave the stage. Mishiro won, Carl will never even the score.
>>289365238>Is this the current timeline or another flashback?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>How did Airi get her toes back?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>Why did she need a wheelchair in the first place?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>Is it so expensive to show characters talking?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>Was Yuki drugged again?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>I don't get the devices?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>Why did that girl randomly kill herself?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>Is Kyara still alive?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>Why does Mishiro still mog everyone?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>Whom is Carl?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>There was barely any beach?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>Why did Carl sneeze?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.>Is Essei mexican?The tutorial is over, think of the rest yourself.
Is Carl collecting dead girls like Pokemon? Can she summon them and bring them out? Like if she wants Kyara to kill everyone, can she do that?
Why didn't they just fly the eagles off the island?
>>289364968So I could run.
If her master is alive then she doesn't have to win 99 games now, right?
>>289365362They could scissor naked, but Carl prefers death games.
Carl keeps getting threads!
>>289365011Does it burn when you pee?
>>289365238>Is this the current timeline or another flashback?The whole series is nonlinear but general whatever main game you're seeing is the relative present of that story portion. As for the meeting at the start it definitely takes place before CB given it's Carl learning Airi is still doing this and they talk of the coming Candnotwoods.>How did Airi get her toes back?Prosthetic as usual. >Why did she need a wheelchair in the first place?Recovering from leg damage in the mountain game. If frostbite took her toes the rest of her legs was probably in bad shape too.>Is it so expensive to show characters talking?Yes, and this looks better anyway.>Was Yuki drugged again?They're always drugged at the start so they can be placed in position.>I don't get the devices?They stun you via electricity. The killer knew of them and could use them if she grabbed the right place during a fight. >Why did that girl randomly kill herself?Imagine finding out the schizo bitch you hated but trained under was worshipping a little bitch like Carl and the other supposed cool girl resorted to faking her own death because she was also a little bitch. Also your life revolves around killing people and that's making you a smidge depressed and unstable on account of how morally deranged it is when you actually think about it.>Is Kyara still alive?No but Carl thinks she was Huishenged into being her for a bit before Airi has sex with her.>Why does Mishiro still mog everyone?Ojou-sama supremacy is a fact.>Whom is Carl?Carl.>There was barely any beach?All game titles are wildly inaccurate because dumb Japanese using English words that sound cool.>Why did Carl sneeze?It was cold.>Is Essei mexican?I wouldn't assume so but I don't know.
Lurking for some more Carl feet pics.
>>289365418why were the cars going backwards?
>>289365418Thanks.
Is the thematic focus on overlapping identity this heavy in the LN too or is it more prevalent in the anime?
Every frame is a painting.
>>289365459Carl stopped being suicidal, and also a way to mirror Candle Woods.
I need the school spinoff slice of life series more than ever. These girls need to be happy. All of them.
>>289365285Mishiro would never accept a W against a Carl in her dumb pathetic bitch state and she's still seething to this day that even her other student landed on that, but at least said student taking her own life instead of being killed makes it feel slightly less insulting. Genuinely a good change to salvage Best Girl's legacy as much as is possible.
I wish this show was more like the first episode.
>>289365510They could literally just quit and get a proper job. It's their fucking problem. If anything the writing doesn't lean hard enough into how insane they should be to keep doing this.
>>289365517Suicide feels even more insulting because she could have just killed Essay. There's no reason Mitsuba would have lost. At least in the LN she was taken by surprise that someone dead was alive. She had superiority even after unmasking her in the movie and chose to kill herself.
Shion molested Hizumi.
>>289365551Can she file a complaint with her agent?
>>289365535What if she wanted to die though?
>>289365534Supposedly she needs to put food on the table.
>>289365551Isn't Hizumi like 9? Elementary school age so she could be younger too.
Why didn't they wonder where Essei's body went?
How would you order the next 2 or 3 volumes for a hypothetical season two?
>>289365595They did but Carl was going schizophrenic
>>289365595They did. One possibility was that the killer was someone not with them. They did not jump to the fake suicide idea because it's a retarded plan that actively fucked the killer over anyway and one she only executed because she was both a scared little bitch who thought she stood no chance and pathologically obsessed with becoming her master down to copying her looks and body.
>>289365595They did the anime cut it out.A problem with the adaptation is the director is more focused on melodrama than the actual death game itself.
>>289365667>the anime cut it outIt didn't.
>>289365238Everything will be explained in Halloween Night
>>289365679Yes it did.
>>289365682Is it actually worse than GB or was anon exaggerating?
>>289365679No it didn't.
>>289365696It feels like a filler game because Carl is very uninvolved.
>>289365685No it didn't. Carl relays their conversation in her memory while going insane instead of showing it directly, but all the lines are there right after they find the empty room. Please learn to pay attention instead of pulling out your phone when the image doesn't change for longer than five seconds.
>>289365717So it might literally be the best game, got it.
Car + L = CarlErgo, she is going to take an L from a car.
Believe in Mishiro for V11
>>289365748Mishiro, battle hardened Momoyo, Cyborg Kinko with a thick neck, Moegi 2.0, Essei and Keito is also here.
>>289365748well apparently no one ever really dies, so why not? let's bring back mikan too
>>289365784Mikan had a nice body.
finally watching now. so far so good.
>>289365827Enjoy
The good:44->50Hakushi magic bar
>>289365011Unlike Essay.
Carl slept on those Airis
So is it Essay or Essei? The merchandise and novel says Essay, the anime character page says Essei, the anime trailer says Essay.
>>289365954it's ese homes
>>289365222No, the game having proteges of Mishiro and Kyara leads into the reveal of Essay being one of Hakushi's proteges. And while she dies early, you do get to know her well enough.
Help me Airi, you gotta help me, I'm going schizo, I'll kill again, I'll kill someone if I don't get to lie on fat thighs and squeeze some honkers.
>>289365942At first I was a bit mad that she survived instead of Moegi but now that she grew her hair out I'm not.
>>289366026just as planned
Will Carl give Hakushi her eye back?
>>289366041No, finders keepers.
>>289365551There needs to be a Kyara House spinoff.
At the end when Carl is walking toward the fire and the woman runs on screen from the side, that's her agent, right?
The fire rises.
>>289365362She figures that her body is too worn down to continue since Kyara was able to beat her. Plus Carl already inherited her will so it would be mean to take Carl's goal away from her.
I lo_ed it.
>>289365238Have you tried actually watching the show?
>>289366234Yes, I tried really hard.
>>289366222That skindentation. uuunf.The small touches that staff show consideration toward the girls is nice too. Airi is the only one with closed shoes because no toes.
>>289366244I'm very sorry to hear that.
>>289366222ath
>>289366222I was really happy that my RSS downloader picked up this last episode, might not have seen it until in a month otherwise. Good to have been with you for the final stretch, fellow Carl enjoyers.
Season 2 announcement doko
>>289366400They might announce it when the movie finishes the 2 week limited run in Japan.
>>289366452Feels wild that I watched it before some nip fans that had tickets for this week.
I don't see why they need to be so obtuse, it's hard to even remember which is girl is which when they don't even show who is talking
>>289365019Airi's thighs save lives.
>>289365954S.A.
>>289364953>I don't get it.
>>289366542Mishiro will be spinning in her grave.
>>289366579Drills through her casket.
Hizumi should have gotten the Moegi treatment for the movie.
>>289366111checked and fully agree.
>>289366111In an early 80s sitcom format.
>>289365827STOP DODGING BITCH
>>289365784Only good players get a 1-Up.
>>289366879Just noticed they animated the hair but not the hair pins.
>>289366879wtf her hair clips aren't moving????
YWN wake up to this.
>>289366927*angry ojou-sama noises*
It was a good movie.
I lo_e Carl.
>>289366513I especially liked how when the girls are introducing themselves it shows a static image with none of them in it.
The moral of the story is.A descent into madness can be reversed with affectionate lesbianism.
>L-O---E>It's a reference to the Nat King Cole song L-O-V-E>The dashes were dashes the whole time>Just like Yuki was Yuki the whole timeI absolutely kneel, directorchad. You are the master of metaphor. The apex of allegory.
>>289367141>Despite everything, it's still yuki
I watched this show when it aired and read a lot of controversy about it. I'm not sure if it's because it's a bad adaption, but it feels like a midwit filter. It's not really a deep show, just artsy. They don't explain everything, but you can infer a lot of it from the "show don't tell" approach. Were people just expecting something like Danganronpa from it or what? Kinda curious to see what people like about it in particular too.
Some things in the anime I think was done well. This scene is exactly what I wanted from Yuuki and Hakushi's reunion in the LN, but instead in the LN version Hakushi basically just tells Yuuki to fuck off.
>>289367283This scene was really nice to watch, but in retrospect it would have been much more appropriate at the end of volume 6. I fear we got a motherly hug from Shishou too early.
>>289367283>in the LN version Hakushi basically just tells Yuuki to fuck off.What the FUCK is her problem?
>>289367417love
>>289367267I like how it's not like the usual death game slop that relies on cheap shocks and gore and other staples of the genre. I liked how the atypical direction drew you into this deranged world. Ghost House being the best example of this. Watching this is a special experience that I don't often get in anime. Though I don't think Cloudy Bitch did this as well as the other games.
>>289367417Volume 3 had a theme about player styles. Like Koyomi having a cowardly style that makes her very good at avoiding danger. Hakushi's style was one of negation where she looked for and found the flaws in everything which is why she is so harsh. But she does believe in Carl even if she won't say that to her.
>>289367568The movie showed that Carl needs affection and lap pillows to function properly.
>>289367746She's so relatable.
>>289367746And yet she got addicted to Hakushi's harsh fuckerings
>>289366916>>289366917masterful bueno animation
the "movie" was not very goodwould have been better paced as 4 22 minute episodes
>>289367267Ghost House is fantastic, the rest is kinda good yet kinda bad, far more watchable than something really bland and predictable.
>>289368071or 1 22 minutes episode
>>289365271>the way Symphogear handles Kanade is the way this series wishes it was handling its major dead playersNever mentioned again after season 1 besides gacha?
Carl's toes in my mouth.
>>289367787Airi just needs to fuck her harder than Hakushi did and overwrite the programming.
>Neat, lots of creative death games and cute girls getting fucked up>The blood is cotton wool>They keep skipping character deaths and just jump to the end sometimes>Sometimes the kills are weird and artistic interpretations of what's happening>Everything has a weird, washed out lookWhat a giant monkey paw.
>Ghost HouseCarl is a gentle lover, guides her partner carefully before jamming it in>Scrap BuildingCarl is an aggressive top>Golden BathCarl is a pathetic bottom but becomes a switch >Candle WoodsCarl is submissive and hasn't yet learned how to top>Cloudy BeachCarl has ED and is sad and needs help getting it up
I wish my mental breakdowns had cubes.
>>289368718I wish my breakdowns had big titty psycho murderbitches
>>289367267>show don't tellBueno's directing is more "don't show don't tell"
Do they say anything more about the game that went on at the same time as Cloudy Beach?
>>289368886Peak art.
>>289368897Yeah it's during the credits with the cars at the end but not much.
Carl needs a competent reoccurring rival. It's crazy it took so long for the author to realise you can have an evil character who actually survives across different volumes. Mishiro wouldn't have died so early if he knew better. Of course part of the issue is that losing means dying so we can't have the villain meaningfully beating Carl.
>>289366258>because no toesNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
cloudy bitch was based
>>289367126>reversedActually >Carl imagines herself schizoing into a brutalising murderer>Airi sex reassures her it's not the case>brutalizes Essay exactly that way once she killed her Mind ghost Kyara wasn't wrong. Carl absolutely has that evil murderous insanity in her. They even do the double speech thing when she's killing with one her being disgusted and the other being into it. Not the first time the show has shown Carl building towards a fracture in her psyche but definitely the point it's been most explicit so far. Even if it may have been partly out of jealousy for a fellow student, Carl tore that body apart. And given who Essay deliberately made herself look like, Carl was literally embodying Kyara at that moment.
>>289367478>it's not like the usual death game slop that relies on cheap shocks and gore>>>>
>>289368201I was talking about S1 but you're functionally a retard if you think Tsubasa wasn't seething about her dead friend of the same age when Maria pulled out Gungnir in front of her.
>>289369119essay is a dumb name
>>289368101I really don't understand the constant Ghost House glazing when it has the merit of introducing some of the worst bits of writing that end up tainting the whole series. It's only not the worst game because Golden Bath exists. I think anons just never rewatched the series and have a warped memory of it because it was the first thing they saw.
>>289369155It's a fake name anyway.
>>289369182Well it's the least pretentious one and there's a clear game and objective.
>>289369182everything was explained in candle memesthe tutorial is over
KNEEL
>>289369257Why that plushie look she OD'd on heroine?
>>289369228>there's a clear game and objectiveCandle woods has an even clearer and more explicit setup. Scrap building is exactly as clear. Cloudy Bitch makes player ignorance a deliberate design element. Golden Bath a shit but you could argue it's partly because Carl wakes up late. The story never bothering to have a complex multilayered game after it is either way a fault with the source material and not the anime.>it's the least pretentious oneI don't think any part is particularly pretentious but Ghost House is literally the game where you don't get to see a character's actual real appearance until halfway through and where she gets a whole speech trying to make you feel for her only for the lol lmao actually you need dead people reveal (which to this day is a blight onto the whole series and retroactively pisses on the ceiling saws scene because no, actually, that girl could not have been saved because we need dead people to get out). It's also the start of the author's boner for subversion, where a character is established as having some experience only to die first and like an idiot (in a way that's never properly repeated too), which in actuality just makes the writing more and more predictable in future games.
>>289366927
>>289367267>it feels like a midwit filterThere's been a lot of retard / pseud / normalfag filter shows lately, it's been fantastic.
>>289369257>>289369269
The "Kyara" who figured out the tracker and pulled it out of Carl is clearly Carl's alternate personality she's coming to form.
>>289369439I wasn't there at the time, why did that thread have so much activity? Was it all seethe at how shit GB is?
>>289369466>trackerI meant whatever the arm device is. I didn't get a lot of sleep.
>>289369475It was all explained in Candle Woods. That's essentially the thread.Questions, carlposting, answers, 'answers', seethe, lo_e, etcetera. It was fun.
Cyara is actually Carl from the future
>>289369466More like it's an idea given form by Carl's imagination. The haunting thought of joy of murder, and herself walking that path, implanted into her by Kyara.This is the memes Monsoon talks about in MGR.
>>289369550Carl can probably do more fucked up shit than Kyara
>>289369554Yeah but it manifests as an entirely different Carl in Carl's head. A different voice that gets horny when she kills, a different Carl in the second cube that kills instead of walking and is embraced by Kyara, etc. I do believe Carl going more schizo is an actual thing in later LNs so I think the show has been preemptively building towards that, but I'm not sure.>This is the memes Monsoon talks about in MGROr, you know, the memes MGS2 talks about. You know, the game Raiden actually showed up in first.
>>289370161I need scissors Carl
>>2893651584 means death
>>289370000It's kind of silly, since the way she kills essay is reminiscent of how Kyara kills, because Essay has a modified body she pulls out her organs, I feel that's very Kyara, but at the time she's dispelled the Kyara ghost in her head.
>>289369466>>289369497There was only one of those in the movie, right?
>>289370224>but at the time she's dispelled the Kyara ghost in her headThat's what she wants to believe after the Airisex, yet the way she brutalises Essay makes it very clear she can be the maniac she thought she might be. She executes exactly what she thought she'd done. She's clearly out of it afterwards and slowly walking towards the fire too. She has a lot of mental up and downs.
>>289370224With the way the movie showed Carl dealing with Kyara in Candle Woods, I believe the only reason Kyara herself wasn't served the same way was because of her armored skin.The thing about Carl is that she is unsure of what exactly she wants or is supposed to be doing, so she kind of mimics others without really thinking about it. Isn't she a bit like you and me?
>>289370224Taking from the novel, she's always been capable of extreme violence. Kyara and Essay get killed in extremely gruesome ways that it's clear the only difference between Kyara and her is Carl doesn't enjoy murder, yet.>KyaraShe stabbed her. In the face. In the chest. In the hands and feet. Exactly how someone would stab in a fit of unbridled rage. Kyara appeared to have run out of bamboo leaves of her own and began resisting with her fingernails, but Yuki wasn’t scared. She stabbed again. Now she was less concerned about inflicting damage and more concerned with delivering a finishing blow, so she gradually switched to targeting the woman’s vital spots. To little surprise, there was a metal plate under Kyara’s chest, so she instead went for cutting up the woman’s abdomen and guts. Yuki stabbed and stabbed and stabbed and stabbed, plunging her weapon so deep that her whole fist sank deep inside the woman’s stomach. Finally, she noticed that Kyara had breathed her last.
>>289370446>EssayYuki defended herself with the body of the gun. Then she swiped the machete from Essay’s hands. Although her opponent was clad in full-body armor, like a member of a special forces unit, Yuki thrust the blade into the only spot that was lightly guarded—Essay’s neck. Essay collapsed onto the ground but still continued to move. Since Essay was attempting to pull the machete out of her neck, Yuki got on top of her to thwart her efforts. Then Yuki swung at Essay, alternating with both fists, but the sensation was like punching through air. “The heck are your vitals, you damn freak?!” Even while flinging ungrammatical words of abuse at her opponent, Yuki continued her assault. Despite Essay’s attempts at resisting, Yuki deftly held her down, pried off her armor, and ripped off the bandages underneath, revealing the girl’s cobbled-together body, which brought to mind Frankenstein’s monster. Yuki shoved her hand into the stitching of Essay’s body and pulled out the first thing she came in contact with—a lung. She plunged her hand back in, next pulling out Essay’s heart. She continued the act, alternating hands to extract Essay’s organs one after another—a liver, stomach tissue, small intestine, large intestine, kidneys, and even parts whose names she couldn’t immediately recall. Whatever had been keeping Essay’s body together Yuki tore apart with the ease of plucking grapes. Unbelievably, Essay continued to resist even after losing all of her internal organs, so Yuki had no choice but to go after her bones and muscles next. Yuki was no stranger to killing, but this was her first time thoroughly dismantling a human body. Just as she was beginning to feel respect for the psychopath at having repeated such an exhausting act — —at last, Essay ceased to move.At least Mishiro got off with only having her neck slit.
>>289370446>>289370479Do LN readers have any experience with good books or are they unable to tell how bad this prose is?
>>289370582God you're so easy to bait out
>>289370446>>289370479This is embarrassing
Is there a MSGK later down the line?
>>289370592I'm sorry, writing is my autism field and this is genuinely terrible. I have to assume it's an issue with the translation and the original isn't this bad in the context of its language. In fact, I can actually confirm just looking at this that the person translating it is somehow fucking up something even Crunchy subs get right, and overly sticking to how Japanese will repeat character names instead of using pronouns most of the time, which does not read well at all in English. It also looks like the sentence structure is being carried over one to one, which is a huge mistake if true.
>essayLOLhow many words?
Novel fags aren't beating the allegations they're mentally stunted retards. They only want violence and Reddit wholesome chungus hype moments
So who were all the confirmed girls that died on Cloudy Beach? Maguma got like no screen time and she looked important
>>289371036There's a reason why localization is good. Translation isn't a 1:1 and keeping things faithful to how they are in Japanese doesn't work for the English language. It fundamentally fails at properly translating the work into English when you can tell that it's the product of another language just by reading how badly the prose is structured.
>>289371235Sadly LNs aren't big enough to get handed to professionals.
>>289371382Exactly, prose flows different in different languages, something that works in one will most likely not work for another language unless it's handled by a pro, but that would also require rewriting some lines and the original meaning might be lost, specially in japanese that got a lot of wordplay.
>>289371671Even if you're translating it literally, you're losing the feeling behind it when words are emotionally charged. That's why it's laughable when novelfags complain about the anime changing and adapting. You're reading an adaptation, you have no foot to stand on.
>>289371840>logical fallacylol lmao rofl eventhe anime sucks, even japanese readers admit that much
>>289371880>even japanese readersJapanese readers consistently love the most bottom of the barrel isekai slop imaginable so they're really not a good metre. Or are you saying popular = good therefore Disney capeshit is all amazing?
>>289372184Shifting the goalposts, you were trying to argue that the people posting English excerpts of the novels aren't credible because you can't trust the translation. Animefans are absolutely insufferably cunts.
>>289372375I wasn't the one posting that, and anon did prove it, which is why you shifted from "I read it and this is my opinion" to an appeal to authority of "actually it's a Japanese opinion". You have conceded you have no ground to stand on and reduced yourself to a parrot.
As always sourcecucks are the most embarrassing people on this planet. They consume bottom barrel fiction and defend it vehemently and are surprised when people with brains don't enjoy their mindless slop.
>>289372511The grounds are that equating the changes in the anime to whatever differences between languages is a bad faith argument.
>>289372647You will never be Japanese.
>>289372647You did not understand >>289371840
>>289372647This is the intelligence of slop readers.
I appreciate you keeping Carl's thread alive, but I think it's time to stop taking this fag's bait.
Let's talk about Carls autism instead
>>289372958I'll keep humiliating him whenever he posts parts of the novel and tries to cling to badly written prose. It's sad he can't see the light, but you can't help the blind.

>>289375216Brown dug the pits (this is the one part the movie doesn't make clear and I'm just inferring from what people have said about the novels, but it's rather unimportant and more details will probably be given when she shows up again), Kyara's former sex toy fell in them (or possibly threw herself in one of them, she was already insane and the movie has heavy suicide themes), Cloudy Bitch found the body and moved it, Carl found the pit and went inside it to fuck around (possibly part of her suicidal ideation tendencies) before Airi found her there.
>>289375216>and where did the big brown butch girl go?
>>289368071Uhhh, no
>>289371220>she looked importantShe is. But the anime keeps cutting out important stuff, most of the conversations she had with Yuuki got removed.
>>289376274Almost all the conversations got removed in general so there was no murder mystery.
Where can I find the OST of the anime?>>289368718Skill issue.
>>289376318The mystery is how is essei a 50 clear player when she couldn't kill a single person.
>goes to the loli's cottage>says she has to "inspect" her body for implanted devices>offers to strip in return to gain her trust>gets rejected hard>finds a dejected and unstable Carl on the rebound>takes her to her cottage and her bed>spends the entire night with herAiri is a predator. She got lucky that Carl is into that.
>>289377023I'm guessing she had incredible luck in usually playing against weaker girls. The point of Cloudy Beach was to take the currently top player and she if she can win against other elite veterans. It also freed them to have a mass purge event without risking their valuable assets. A lot of investors were mad at what happened to Hakushi in Candle Woods.
>>289377644Even the death game industry can't escape investors...
>>289377023>up against fellow veterans and cyborgs so you need an edge>embed easy-kill electronics in everyone but yourself so you can just shock them to death>fake your own death to make sure nobody suspects you of being the cuhrazy killerso far, so good, clever shit>fake your own death by ripping apart your own body, thus making you weak as balls>disappear just after you get discovered, thus causing people to question what happened>don't account for people having schizo breakdowns and finding the embedded electronics before moving to kill them>don't account for suicidal maniacs killstealing you because who the fuck would kill themselves just so you loseunfortunate turn of events>infiltrate the ship of agents that's coming to kill you>steal their advanced body armor and firearms>go in hard with said itemsokay that's pretty good>be so misfortunate as to face post-coital Carldestiny ordained their loss
>>289377626>>289377774The singing is a thinly veiled mana transfer sequence. It was sex.
>>289377823Ame fucked Purple?!
>>289377023As the other anon said, luck is an overlooked skill. Carl has big bad luck, but it's not fatal, it's the bad luck that makes her look dumb or lose three fingers or gain a tsundere ojou rival or have everyone she knows die.
>>289377952Wait, what happened to her fingers?
>>289377872That's the ending we should have gotten.
>>289378107Mishiro wanted to make sure Carl would never finger any other girl
>>289377768Just deranged world things.
>>289378107they were delicious
>>289378126At least Nechika got to tap them both.
>>289377644>>289377768Thinking about this a little more. That'd make the investors better than the ones in the real world who chase blockbusters and AAA big return on investment. Our world investors would be begging for Candle Woods 2 and 3 and to turn it into an annual thing and maybe you don't need candles or woods and it can be held every 3 months instead to maximize profitability
>>289378293>Our world investors would be begging for Candle Woods 2 and 3 and to turn it into an annual thingBut that's exactly what happened. It's been about a year and they ran a big game with a 3.75% survival rate. Only this time they were smart enough to leave their best performing players like Airi out of it so she wouldn't be killed in some shitty stupid way.It's no different than the way industries go through hiring and layoff cycles but the people who are actually needed to run the business are allowed to keep working as "contractors".
>>289378828I thought candle woods was an accident, were they intending for everyone to be killed all along?
>>289378863Bit of both. They were expecting most of the rookies to die, some of the veterans. They didn't account for Kyara being a freak of nature.
>>289378889So this new game is only noteworthy because everyone died? Because otherwise Golden Bath had more players and the higher number counts so wouldn't that be a Candle Woods tiered game?
>new carl>almost on the same day as all the other yuriwhoa
what are the odds the director actually browsed /a/?
>>289378980He reads nip Twitter. It's not like these memes only exist here.Except for Carl. Does anyone outside of /a/ know about Carl?
Why would they run Cloudy Bitch and the other game in parallel? I guess you can find investors interested in either 80 noobs getting rekt or the popular veterans, but it still means a divided viewership.
>>289378980Putting the cars at the end was for us. Trust.
>>289379027I've seen those. That Editor O. He finds posts people hides and likes them so people posting things they didn't like about an episode gets liked by him and the tweeter has a mental breakdown because official found them. Sounds like a fun guy.
Pay respects to are armed carles
>>289378911Golden Bath was a 50% game. Nearly everyone on the other teams survived. It was only a disaster for Carl's group and her personally.
>>289379035They always run multiple games at a time. Games can have a lot of downtime to them like nothing happening for half of Cloudy Bitch.>>289379124Golden Bath was a 70% game. Each side had 50 players and 35 keys. And it ended with exactly 30 players dying.
>>289379153Don't forget key 0
>>289379124My point is that's not by design that the cliffhanger had a less than 4% survival rate is it? Carl said 70% but new players is lower but 4% sounds insane. If it was by design that's a different matter, but otherwise Golden Bath had potential for bigger losses. What if Mishiro drowned everyone? 2% survival for her and Riko.
>>289379153I knew it was up there but didn't remember the exact number.Point is CandleWoods type games are designed with extremely unbalanced odds.
>>289378828I wouldn't say that. Essay only had to kill 3 but survive a week. She could kill up to 7 if she wanted. One every night.
>get bored watching all the still frames>start skipping forward>suddenly a girl with a gun
>>289379256Yes that game wasn't suppose to have a 4% survival rate. Almost everyone died because Kyara 4 did Kyara things.
>>289379291Why would she keep killing after she won the game?
>>289379261Yup, games can have a 70% survival rate but how likely that will happen can vary a lot. Golden Bath was on the higher end and Candle Woods was on the lower end. But the expected worst case for Candle Woods was around 50%. No one saw only 1% living coming.
>>289379334Well they were surrounded by seawater and you know what they say about drinking that.
>>289379382My theory for why Carl was possessed by Kyara. She drank the seawater.
Drinking seawater out of Airi's bellybutton.
>>289379363The thing is Candle Woods is insanely boring if you remove Kyara because the bunnies mog the stumps way too hard. It had to be an inside job. It's not like they didn't know Kyara killed nearly every other participant in her previous games beside her chosen toys.
>Love is more than just a death game for two--Nat "Carl" Cole probably
dunc reference
Airi has replaced Mishiro in my Carl pairing
>>289379576The fun part of Candle Woods is watching how the Stumps react to the situation. Seeing Moegi teamkill and make the others stab the three must have been a riot for them.>It had to be an inside jobMost likely but I would think the game design team is separate from the recruitment team so I would still say the game design didn't violate the 70% rule.
>>289379419She might have drunk some during her swim.
Hakushi can believe in Carl, but we know who she wanted to survive.
>>289378911Garbage Prison had a higher death count. 30 out of 100 dead for Golden Bath and 77 out of 80 dead for Garbage Prison.
>>289379766>Garbage PrisonFire the person making these names
>>289379787>Golden Bath instead of Golden ShowerI agree, fire him.
>>289379752Isn't that asking a parent which of their children they lo_e the most?
>>289379819>Mom, would you rather me or my dead sister be here tonight?Carl asked a rude question.
