What is your opinion on ratgirls?

Never trust an elf!

Where's the ears?

To avoid drawing unnecessary attention to herself, the elf was taught by her dragongirl friend how to hide her demihuman features with magic.

elfgirl anime

the elf doesn't actually have elf ears

Sasuga

She still has her ears prominently displayed the vast majority of the time, she only hides them when there are other people around, which is not that often and even then she eventually manages to fuck it up.

Always trust an elf

Fucking elfs! Leave! This is a ratgirl thread.

There's an elf right there in your OP
lol

le guild

it's all so tiresome

You're right, anon. Unions are a menace.

Why don't you post qt ratto's yourself instead?

What's your problem?

As somebody else said, there's a tragic dearth of ratgirls in anime and manga.

Rats have a negative connotation in Japanese folklore. Maybe that's why.

every single native isekai/japanese fantasy has an "adventurers guild" for some reason, as if the sky will fall if they don't introduce it

Elf-san doesn't have an adventurer's guild, it has a mage guild.

What is the "kot" equivalent of rat, if you know what I mean?

Rrat

Rot

Does it? Rat is one of the revered zodiacal beasts.

if the girl is hot she's hot
even if she has jewish traits

How antirattitic of you

beats the shit out of kyo supposedly making him an invincible martial artist

cucks out and doesn't lift a finger while the clan head rapes everyone

Why is Yuki such a useless bitch?

The zodiac is Chinese. The Japanese might've copied 90% of their culture from China, but they didn't necessarily copy the attitudes.

Fitting for a literal rat, no?

Nah, it actually makes a lot more sense. There's every reason for mages to form a guild: apprenticeship, self-policing, defending themselves from shithead priests, forming libraries and protecting them, sharing new spells, etc. It's the same reason why the early scientific societies were formed, and because magic is the fantasy analogue of science, it only makes sense that they work the same way. Adventurers though? That's just a game mechanic grandfathered from JRPG's.

Science is the fantasy world analogue of science

Eh, I mean, sometimes there's also weird steampunk technology added to the world just for the hell of it, but in most cases it's just completely generic heroic fantasy with no science. Even though everything looks like it belongs in the 19th century as opposed to the Middle Ages.

Assuming you're still talking about elf-san: that show had holograms all over the place

the writing is literally barcodes

i can't decide if that's ingenious or lazy

These are magical holograms, please understand.

...

Thanks, I naruhodo now

but in most cases

there's zero effort put into worldbuilding so the author just keeps adding stuff he likes with zero consideration for logic and consistency

Why bother when your customers are dumb teens who will deride your hard efforts for being "boring" or "weird"?

Made in Abyss.

We both know how MiA got big and it has nothing to do with the worldbuilding.

but the worldbuilding was the perfect excuse for the pedos to justify their interest and shill it, so it's not completely worthless

You seem to have watched it. Are you a dumb teen?

I'm not even Japanese, which puts me well outside the target audience

I'm not sure why they would hide their power level when the mangaka himself doesn't

Tfw it's actually what rats are called in my language...

They didn't seem magical to me, looks like regular sci-fi shit

The virgin white Mariabelle:

uses illusions to hide her ears

The chad brown Mariabelle:

More like

the decent fantasy that tries to keep some degree of verisimilitude

the mindless ecchi where the logic goes down the toilet

the mindless ecchi where the logic goes down the toilet

Any cons?

nobody cares about logic in porn, it's ridiculous by its very premise

People having sex is ridiculous?

regular people having regular sex is not very hot and can actually be quite repulsive
porn has to enter the ridiculous territory to become exciting

Not even doggirls are particularly common in anime, and you expect to see lots of ratgirls.
