They got fat

Elves have been ruined since Drizz't do Urden decided to be a main character

Deedlit is perfect

Drizzt is barely a thing these days. And Drizzt isn't a bad character. Players ruined him. But they got other subverted-evil-races now to play, for example tieflings.

You get good ones from time to time. Deedo is still one of the best.

I will forever dislike this scene, because she acts out of character compared to the rest of the show.

...

they got improved

I want to comb Marcille's hair

Ah, yes the obvious I-actually-don't-like-elves poster.

Disgusting freak.

...

I mean, in the tv series she didn't have much characterization beyond being Parn's gf.

...

Sure, in the second half her almost entire dialog was nothing but screaming "Parn!". But she never again did anything comically stupid. I would say she was the most competent adventurer behind Parn. Well, she also had the most screentime next to him. Most of the party did whatever for large parts of the show.

Please take it to /h/, we almost have a thread here.

>Most of the party did whatever for large parts of the show.
Because it was a transcribed D&D campaign, lots of things of little importance takes up most of the time

What happened was the landscape of popular fantasy. Gone are the days of referencing D&D campaigns, Tolkein, American Sword & Sorcery Games, and the japanese video games inspired by all the above.

Elves entered into the modern interpretation of fantasy as well as the market changing enough for the overall taste of these things to shift as well. You will find authors and artists who still have a "Classical" interpretation of elves but the idea of the fantasy creature as far as Japanese media goes has changed with the time.

Yes it was, but I guess this is something they changed for the anime or novel. You don't have players doing stuff for themselves for hours while the rest of the table waits until those two players are done erpg-ing their romantic relationship. Do you think the rogue left the group and for that reason got possessed since they needed a new bad guy? But the whole party was without a rogue! The dwarf died halfway through the adventure and never got a replacement, the wizard and priest spend some time doing magical shit somewhere, probably. Maybe they were erpg-ing as well.

those are some big eyes

It helps to tell you when Lafiel is staring at you, because you will soon be dead.

I watched all this but I could never like the stylization chosen for this. It was as bothering as Escaflowne.

...

It got boring and derivative. Don't worry. Elves and fantasy are coming back. Same with animal people. Just not quite the way they were popular back then.

...

Quality thread. Like all the elf threads.

>It was as bothering as Escaflowne.
But Escaflowne looks amazing.

Players that come and go, maybe the players of the Rogue and Dwarf left? Maybe some players couldn't make it to every sessions?

This show was very mediocre besides the art. Even the animation was lackluster past the first episode.

There was no animation past the first episode. And that one meaningless fight with the barbarian. Still love this show for being straight fantasy schlock.

Piro > Deed

My blue balls never went away after that amazing fight with the Dragon in the Tunnel. One of the most disappointing quality drops I've ever seen.

A personality > no personality.

Fuck: Piro
Marry: Deed
Kill: ?

Both their personalities can be summarized as 'wants the big human cock'

I want my own elf loli.

They stopped being raped.

Dragon Knight4 remake would be nice. More episodes to focus some more on the side characters in our jrpg party.

Reminder that the light novel was recently released in English. Well done, and very different from the OVA.

Kuroinu. That abortion ruined elves.

They went extinct in real world and got turned into VR avatars.

brown elves

Aura is better.

Yeah Parn is not a failure in the book

Japan got a hold of them and decided it wasn't enough that their ears be pointed, they also had to be stupidly long as well.

wat

...

...

What's wrong with Escaflowne?

Only the old guard remembers TWHE.

The board seems to have answered your question. Fast food does that to people.

Aaaand /thread.

Get over it. Fantasy is still one of the most popular genres, and there are tons of non-isekai fantasy LNs. We have a new fantasy show written by the guy who wrote Lodoss airing this season even. The genre being derivative is its own fault.

The novels were a far cry from the actual D&D game. In the game, Parn died.
And Deedlit(whose player was a dude) plundered his corpse.

I only remember it was a thoroughly lame attempt to cash in on Slayers' popularity.

And Deedlit is a loli.
Or rather, so small she keeps getting mistaken for a child.

Did they fuse the OVA with the TV series?

Only the first book is translated so far. It just covers the events with Karla, which was just the first half of the OVA.
The transitional events between the OVA and the TV series haven't been translated yet.

Everybody stopped referencing American standard for fantasy elves. Which is good.

This. D&D ruined high fantasy.

Almost all elves in fiction are like people read Tolkien, saw the Silvan elves or other Avari, and those became the only elves in other fantasy works. How many other works of fantasy would depict elves as anything other than woodland sprites?

Modern "elves" are just generic moeblobs with huge ears.

Pic related is the worst offender.

...

There's only one way and one use for elves.

They didn't get Orc'd enough

...

You mean the thing that was Gate before Gate was Gate Mr, Satan?

every time they start to fight the girl starts whining "no... dont fight" over and over until the fight is over

>It got boring and derivative.
That's a given since any trend gets run into the ground. I'm waiting for the current form of Isekai to implode and maybe we can get a sci-fi genre back in popularity.

>Get over it.
I was never mad, it's a fact that what is popular in terms of fantasy presentations has changed over the years, it's always changing. I don't know how to describe the current iteration but you can tell the difference between a fantasy story written post 2000 and stuff from the 90's. There are some authors that keep up the older way of presenting their settings and races but they are in the minority and I find they tend to be authors that were writing such content in the 90's themselves.

Things change with the times, same as with Music, same as with fiction.

>not wanting a mature, capable, and experienced dark elf

It's the noses.

Never bothered me, same as with Akagi or that one old anime where they could cut paper with their noses

>wanting a old hag
This is one of the first images I saved from Sup Forums. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzing inside.

ero-elves are the best thing to happen to knife ears

Only thing I remebered from that show was the furry cat girl.

>old hag
>elf

That's not a loli, not with those body proportions.

Elf JC?

>>wanting a old hag
>not realizing that she could quite literally rock your world
You're loss I guess.

probably only a couple of hundred years old

>Normal Elves are blonde, fair-skinned, petite bodies, and capable archers and magicians. Though physically weak, they are capable of avoiding capture unless they get outsmarted. Usually hippies and carefree until things go horribly wrong, causing them to be xenophobic assholes except for the one exception, usually a princess who lusts after the Human dick or just some orphan.
>Dark Elves are dark-skinned, often dark haired, and more often than not well endowed and toned. Though not as agile as normal Elves, Dark Elves are flexible, quick-witted, and strong as fuck. Equally skilled at archery and magic, but not afraid to get up close and personal with a sharp tool. Often prideful, but quick to make allies when shit's not going well. Also great drinkers.
>Both are equally easy to mind break in hentai.

Elves are so simple, yet they're always entertaining. How have bastardized representations of a Celtic fairy gotten this fucked up, yet remain so by-the-book? There's almost never any variation, other than maybe different color palettes (brown hair and green eyes on a normal Elf, white hair and silly technicolor makeup on Dark Elf, etc).

She'd likely be a couple hundred years old though.

Reminder that Deedlit has a thick bush

Simarillion TV show needs to come out and how that some elves shouldn't be fucked with. Then again, there's no comparing the Noldor to the fucking green elves. That's as big of a jump from green elves to man.

That's not a on going series is it?

It's porn.

Also don't post my daughter.

No, but it should be.

That's my daughter, you freak.

No, she's my demon king and wife now so fuck off.

What the shit. I want my own elf loli wife.

That would normally be a red flag for a sequel where she's gang-raped and mind-broken by orcs while he's forced to watch.

>Only thing I remebered from that show was the cat burglar.

FTFY

>bastardized representations of a Celtic fairy

You realize elves are out of Nordic mythology, don't you?

...

...

>look at this and tell me she wasn't asking for it, officer

and/or fucking trees.

Elves have always been shit. They're just humans, but better.
