So I've started a crusade to watch the 10 or so Lupin OVA specials I have.

The Lupin III section of ffnet is pretty pathetic. It really breaks my heart. I----I can't even talk about how much the state of fanficdom for this classic, epic, still-ongoing, never-will-die franchise is so negligable it kills me and what's there is so uniformly bad that I get reincarnated then killed again just thinking about it.

All fanficdoms have a quality curve of normal distribution, but it seems like the top 3 standard deviations and 1 of the negative standard deviations just never appeared, so what's left is the bottom 13.6% of a fandom talent pool with a couple--less than one hand's count--of outliers.

Breaks my heart.

The Big Naruto Fan Art Rec List

redbrunhja has been sucked into the quicksand that is Naruto, and I've been plying her with fic recs and so forth. I thought now would be a good time to consolidate a list of all my favorite Naruto fanarts from various places. Naruto fandom has some truly talented fan artists.


Pretty / General / multiple ships / all characters:
