The committee has returned.
It does not regret it's absence, seeing as it was a necessity for it's continued existence. Matters may have calmed down for now, but the committee would like to take this opportunity to point out, that future escalations are not out of the question, and the committee may have to cease rating for a certain time in the near future.
The committee promises to at least attempt to inform the fish thread denizens of any future absence, and will continue rating as usual in the time it is capable of doing so.
The committee won't be able to catch up with all the images posted so far, and has thus decided to ignore them for now. They will not be added to the archive until they have been properly rated as part of the bi-daily process.
Please take this fish image as a symbol of gratitude for your patience.
>>845787
The fish visible in this depiction is clearly a male salmon in it's prime. The fish has not yet reached the spawning phase, and as such is not yet capable of producing offspring or fertilizing eggs.
This image is fairly interesting, since it does not appear to use a digital medium, but instead relies primarily on what looks like watercolour or pastel.
I can find nothing wrong with it, besides the fact that THE fish is mostly depicted as a koi, and not a salmon. Koi are Cyprinidae, while salmon are Salmonidae, which means that they aren't even related.
I rate 8/10. 9/10 if someone were to translate the Japanese text and put it in the filename.

Plucking THE fish would be an interesting experience. Depending on the kind of koi it is it would be very pleasing to touch it. Doitsu-goi are mostly scale-less and have very smooth skin.
I rate the second image a 5/10. It's a very nice idea that is not badly executed. But the fact that the fish is not displayed in a pixel-style and colour adjusted to match the environment is holding it back.

Goldfish are part of the carp family. Koi fish, like the original fish, are part of the same family as goldfish. So at least it's not entirely impossible to create a hybrid like that.
I have the feeling that I have rated this fish before, but it is not part of the archive. As such the committee has decided to rate it again and give it a proper rating.

It is strange how the fish works with every terrain but all that seems to be known is that air and water enter the mouth and it breathes, however what is unknown is when it enters very high in the atmosphere where there is very little oxygen or enters space.

I like her purple hair and how the fish's lines look. This work of art was painted by one of the renaissance era artists in-between their day jobs of revolutionizing art as we knew it.

The artist of behind this fish image was clearly very talented. The only three issues I can find are:
a) Koi don't have a penises, or balls on the outside of their bodies. This complaint is minor though, since the presence of testicles can be considered a joke about the depiction of male genitalia in renaissance art.
b) boob socks. I know they serve the purpose of pointing out the rounded curves of the character in an appealing way without having them be completely naked, but this example is just too much for me to bear. Look at the tits, and tell me that this looks in any way natural or appealing.
c) The image appears as if it was a photocopy from a piece of actual paper. This may be an intentional decision by the artist, or just the way it was copied from analog to digital media. It does fit the image on a meta level (old art->old technology), but I would prefer it clean.
9/10. 10/10 if it was wallpaper size, cleaned up and maybe had the boobsocks/boobs fixed.
Other than that I would literally hang this in my living room.

This image is a very simple edit. So simple that I can not decided if it is brilliant or retarded.

Ah, yes. This is one of the elder sisters from Ika Musume, right? I believe I remember the scene too. A very creative use of a screenshot, and a very clear crop of the fish on top, but using the perspective tool to make the fish actually fall into the hands of the girl would have made it so much better.
7/10, just because I like the show.
>>848827
The deranged smile of the fish and the look of painful disgust of the girl are kind of well fitting. I don't have much else to say, other than that koi don't have a penis that would need censoring.

This picture expresses emotions on a deep level. I can not begin to fathom the intensity of her expression. It clashes with the everloving smile of the fish. The white/grey/black contrasts add to this and make the image look very plastic despite being obviously 2D.

This image, while not bad, has one major flaw.
And it is not the mouth of the girl(?), which looks like someone edited it in in MS paint.
Rather the main flaw that I can see is the great inconsistency in the image. The fish has a pixelperfect stripe going across it's dorsal area. It looks very artificial yet not bad by itself.
Then there is the background and the original girl. They looks almost hand drawn and very beautiful. And then comes the mouth, which looks, as I pointed out, like someone edited it in MS paint. It doesn't look bad either.
Yet combined all these elements show different levels of skill and have a completely different style. They clash with each other and make the viewer instantly realize that the image was edited. A good edit looks like an original.
It still has a lot of originality, and the amount of effort that went into it requires admiration.
I rate 5/10.
>>850589
It is not often that you get to see anatomically correct lolis, depicted in a style that clearly designates them as Japanese, without ruining their anatomical correctness.
Especially the eyes seem fitting, as they seem to capture the light. This style reminds me of old biology books, with drawn illustrations of fish and other animals.
The only thing that would make me enjoy this image more would be if it was 1080x1920 so I could use it as a mobile phone background.

As stated before, the committee dislikes rotationfish images. However the original image in this edit looks passable. The way he girls face is morphed makes it look like she was aging very quickly on one side of her face. Space-Time dilation is clearly not healthy.
I rate 2/10. It's better than most rotationfish.
The committee was considering giving it a 4/10 to honour those trips, but decided against it on the grounds that an action like this would damage the integrity of the rating process.
>>851686
The committee dimly remembers rating this image before, though it does not appear in the archive.
It is interesting how the fish-girl has webbing between her fingers and gills in her chest area. The location would make a lot of sense, since this would allow most of her other anatomy to remain the same, while only changing thee lungs for internal gills. One has to wonder if her tail fin is horizontal (like is marine mammals) or vertical like in other fish.
Her skirt would probably have trouble not gliding off her scaly tail.
Her mammaries indicate that she nurtures her offspring herself, which hints at a more mammal like reproduction, but unless someone investigates and provides concrete proof these are just speculations.
The eyes of Sakura seems strange, as does her right tit. Maybe it's just a side effect from the fish's slime.
8/10. I would be overjoyed if I had pulled that fish out of the sea.

Dream analysis has some grounds in reality, but it is much more complex than that. People generally have trouble remembering their dreams, and unless you wake them up every time they enter the dream phase of sleep and instantly question them on what they dreamed, there is going to be a lot of trouble getting the whole picture. Instead you have to rely on the last few minutes they can remember from many hours of dreaming.
Besides that the drawing is actually fairly good if a little too small for my liking.
The text should be to the side instead of on top of the doodle though. This would make it easier to read and enjoy the image.
6/10. Some OC from scratch is always good.
>>852217
A different version of that fish received a rather good rating of 8/10 on the 22nd of May 2018 (did someone submit this image on the same day as the Warhol collage or did the committee fuck up the date scheme of the archive? Both seem possible. Maybe I will have to dig through the board's archive later.)
This version of the fish as some minor details added, like the eye, Sakura's arm, and her head tilt. It is similar in principle, but adds more details that make it even more recognizable.
I give this fish the same rating as the other minimalist fish. 8/10.

Listening to "Moby Dick" again fairly recently gave the committee a new appreciation for the behemoths of the sea. This edit manages to capture the might and size of the fish just right.
However:
1) The way the fish was scaled up caused it to look rather pixelated when compared to the rest of the image. Especially it's mouth is badly effected by this.
2) The difference between the highly plastic style of the sailors and sea versus the two dimensional nature of the fish causes a strong conflict.
It's still a good image, even though it is lacking a girl biting the fish.
I rate 6/10. 7/10 if the fish was scaled up properly, 10/10 if someone redrew the scene in a 2D artstyle.

There is nothing wrong with the image. Her anatomy looks mostly OK, her clothes make sense, her face is beautiful and there is no visible fur on anything but her ears. On the Furry-notFurry scale she would pass as a notFurry.
I rate this image 9/10. Technically perfect execution, but it lacks a message or some deeper thought. If I am merely overlooking something, let me know.
>>852879
Now this female is definitely on the "furry" side of the binary. There is fur on hear monster paws and not even her heart-pupils can save that.
Still, the image is technically good, though it lacks plasticity. The shadows are not pronounced enough in my opinion. 7/10.
>>853116
This fish's beard looks fancy, and someone bothered to use the perspective tool properly, which is impressive considering the amount of images that have landed <5 buckets because of this exact problem.
It's hat doesn't fit the entirely black and white style of the rest of the fish though, and I have no idea what that lightning below it's eye is supposed to be. 5/10. It's an acceptable fish edit, ok?
>>853379
This fish image was one of the very first the committee ever rated. It received a 10/10, because of it's deep impact and simple style that still manages to convey all the meaning using very few lines.
Koi are not that hard to keep actually, they are just expensive. They are sturdy fish that will be very healthy as long as you keep them in the right conditions.
>>853718
The girl looks like Yuu from Shujo Shuumatsu ryoko. She really wanted to eat the koi in the aquarium episode, but ended up risking her own life and killing the last remaining maintenance and repair robot in the entire city just to prolong it's lonely life. She called the fish her friend. A very emotional and touching scene about the value of life, death and what it means to take a life for a certain purpose.
The fish doesn't look like the fish from that episode, but it was a long time ago that I watched it, so I may be wrong. Still, from a technical perspective I can see not a single flaw in the image, besides maybe some janky-ness in her right hand. 9/10 if this is actually Yuu. 8/10 if it isn't. I am going to assume it's Yuu, because I really like Yuu and Chi. The image should be larger or better yet: scanned so I can use it as the background for some SSR music-webms.
>>853738
This image contains:
1) Boobs that are concealed in a classy, yet arousing manner
2) A nicely drawn background that would work as a wallpaper on it's own
But what the fuck is that palm tree with no stem on the right?
3) A fish.
The only thing wrong with it is that fucking palm tree and the fact that she isn't biting the fish.

Oh nice. This looks like it was drawn by tsukumizu, the guy* behind Shojo Shumatsu Ryoko. Check his twitter, he uploaded it a few days ago! @tkmz
The committee appreciates his art and would like to point out that a lot of it contains fish and girls in some way. A very nice anon uploaded all of his works released on twitter and tumblr up until that point as a single .zip in a SSR thread. If that anon is still around, it would be really nice of you if you could post an updated .zip some time (or how us how you bulk downloaded all of those images).
I never bothered to keep up with his posting so I don't have his newest works saved. His style is unique and very interesting. The lines are simple and look energetic in some parts and very lazy in others. It's almost like all of his works were drawn with a ballpoint or a sharpie. Very few colours are used, and the way he makes the most out of a few shades of grey is amazing me.
At the same time he is perfectly capable of drawing realistic art and capturing the shape, shade and contours of objects just like they appear to th viewer in real life.
He is also a fairly skilled animator. His doodles carry life and soul.
But that's enough fanboyism for now. I rate this particular fish image a 10/10.
>>854947
The committee would like to point out that it is not all mighty. It holds no special powers. Anyone can rate an image, and anyone can do so daily, and probably do a better job at keeping up the regularity of the ratings too.
This fish image looks like someone saved a "preview" of what the fish sticker would look like. It's simply a digital depiction of the fish on a small notebook. This is nothing special, and to be honest quite underwhelming. An actual picture of the actual fish sticker on some surface would have received a 10/10, but this is just a 2/10. At least it's a fish sticker.

This fish image uses the same template of the devil fish. Sadly this one doesn't use a background to hide the abhorrently pixelated outline of the fish. I wonder if fish can actually feel fear. Do they even have fear hormones? I am sure the fish can feel fear, because otherwise it couldn't feel empathy with any of the girls that he helps out daily, but are normal fish capable of feeling afraid?

That bird looks like a Kea to me, but I could be horribly wrong. My ornithological skills haven't been sharpened in years. If anyone has the correct species please let the committee kow.
Keas are parrots from New Zealand. They sometimes kill sheep.
The way the bird was edited into the image looks very poorly done, almost as if someone used the "copy foreground" feature of gimp, hit ctrl-C and then pasted the bird onto the Sakurafish image.
Other than the bird the is nothing new or interesting to the image, and it adds nothing o value.

Pardon me? Just look at the joy these fish and octropods bring to girls all around the world.
The fish image you posted looks nice. It features a barely clothed girl holding the fish in an embrace. The curvature of the fish fits her pose well and doesn't look unnatural, though it seems almost as if the fish would slip out of her grasp. The girl looks beautiful as well, the shadows on her body reveal her curves in a delightful manner. Her eyes look clear and full of joy, while her expression is slightly puzzled and puzzling.
The background is neat, the water looks clear (so clear that you should be able to at least see a hint of her legs through it) and the vegetation appears natural. Through the uppermost parts of the cliff on the left side of the image looks too clean for my taste. Covering that part with some more cracks in the rocks or a couple bushes would have been slightly better. The clouds in the background are 10/10. They look like real fucking clouds.
The only "problem" I have is the way the fish presents itself. It looks like it wasn't scaled up too well, but it is still well within an acceptable frame.
Overall a very solid 9/10. Almost a 10/10.

2/10. At least it's a fish.
But at least it brings up an interesting topic. Fish and ears. Why does the fish in this image ear it's glasses the way it does? Yes, fish have (inner) ears. Carp (and by extension: koi and the fish) use a specialized, bu organ that transmits sound from the swim bladder to the inner ear, which allows them to hear better than most other fish. The way the fish is wearing it's sunglasses would imply that it's ears are somewhere near it's chin, but fish in general don't actually have an opening for their ears (as it would be an easy way into the brain for any parasite). So why doesthe fish wear it's sunglasses the way it does?

But what if humanity would suddenly be wiped out, and no hard drive were to survive? The fish as a concept as far as we know only exists with us. If we are removed from the equation, and all records were lost, would the fish still exist? It's a similar concept to the existential crysis Lain experienced after she found out that she doesn't have a physical body.
The idea behind this fish image is genious, and the quality of the individual components (3D background, fish image, and reflection) are solid as well. The problem is the shading in the mirror and on Sakura. Even if the driver had his high beams on, he would not illuminate her full body at that range. This could have been easily fixed by taking the spraypaint tool and painting her upper body black/dark with a slight transition zone near her waist.
The background illumination (the green lights) would serve well enough to cast her outline and make it obvious who it's meant to be.
The reflection in the mirror would also be a lot darker, but it makes sense the way it is, because otherwise you would not be able to see the strong expression on his face.
8/10. A great concept held back by the choice in lighting.

This image is (from a technical perspective) Very impressive. The artist clearly spent a lot of time getting the lighting right. The shadows (besides the one on Hakase's arm and Sakamoto's tail) make sense (I can see why he left out the shadow under Hakase's arm. It would have attracted too much attention to the frame of the image.) and the overall image composition (flowers and doors frame the two main characters, the ventilator focuses the viewers second glance on Sakamoto) is well thought out. The fish fits in perfectly into this scene, but doesn't command any attention or ruins the composition of the original work. Very well executed, both by the original artist and the editor.
9/10.

This animation would have made a lot more sense as a video. Not only would it have been larger with more colours at roughly the same file size, but it could have alsso featured the scream, the impact noise and some Japanese gibberish with the subtiles "Go fish." I can not say that I am amazed by the idea either. And why would anyone slap the fish? The watermark puts the last nail in the coffin.

At first I was confused why this image was so difficult to process for my brain. Then I noticed that, while the fish has a black outline sakura does not.
I can clearly see why this was done. The fish is white and would not contrast against the background or it's own fins. Giving Sakura an outline would make the image more bloated than necessary.
Otherwise the image is rather unimpressive. Small file size, small image size, no real effort put into the rear of the fish or even sakura.
The only other positive feature is the Fish's expression, which manages to speak volumes of pain and horror without a single word.
3/10, just because the Fish's expression is so good.

This makes me wonder. Did Ross-Sensei ever pain portraits on his shows?
I like how the paints on his palette line up with the image, but the actual painted version of the fish is an offense to Bob. Simply photo-shopping the fish onto his shoulder, into his hands, or in his chest pocket would have been more than enough.
From a technical point of view: The image is not too small, doesn't take up too much space on a hard drive, and has an overall acceptable composition. My only real gripe is the god-awful painting behind him.

Another example of a fish using the same template as the "Join me" devil fish. While this one does have very similar issues, they are not nearly as appparent at first sight, mainly because the worst area has been masked by the pimpfish's hat.
The makeup on the (presumably female) fish also adds a nice unprecedented touch.

Stick to fish, and leave rating themes to others.
The Yotsubas are classic, but they're dark-on-light which is a problem in low light. Photon and 2channel make everything oversized, and Photon has poor text-to-background contrast. Redchannit and Fringe are shitty gimmicks and I hope nobody uses them as their main theme. Cyber and Amber, while also gimmicky, are at least useable, though for all their merits monospaced typefaces aren't the best choice for readability. Dark is just a worse Tomorrow.

I am not going to rate the artistic performance of an arist in training, though I would certainly advise them to stop drawing according to what they think looks right, and start drawing according to what would be anatomically correct, and then abstract it down from there. Starting out with a style is always bad and will lead to the inability to draw anything but standardized postures and poses.
Switching medium from digital to analog certainly helped them a lot.

While I understand what you want to say with "gimmicky", I want to point out the following: Amber is not a gimmick. It actually serves multiple purposes. A black background reduces the amount of power consumed on some displays, while a low orange light isn't visible as far as green or blue.
There are many examples for this. Go out into the woods at night and place multiple differently coloured glow-sticks or flashlights next to each other. Then walk away. You will notice that the red light disappears from sight long before the blue or green ones do, and even when you can still see it, it appears to be a lot dimmer and further away. This effect is used a lot in the military. Every military flashlight has an optional redlight only filter. Hunters and fishermen use them for the same purpose.
BUT red on black is hardly readable at all. Using an orange tone makes it readable, while preserving the effect of improved "stealth".
It's also easier on the eyes than blue or green in my opinion.
While this is not important for any anon browsing h8chan (outside of /k/ purposes), the reduced power consumption and reduced eye-strain do make Amber very useful for late night comfy browsing on a laptop or desktop.
I agree with you on the red/green text point partially. The dark orange is a good substitute for green in my opinion,and adding a slight purple/blue hint to red-text would make Amber perfect.
Monospaced fonts are perfectly readable. It just takes a moment to get used to it. I actually prefer them over non-monospaced fonts nowadays.
I also really like the extra boarders around posts. It makes it easier to distinguish between who wrote what in long an badly formatted posts, but that is just personal preference.

What an interesting image. Blue light gets refracted more than red light, so the lighting on the fish would imply that some medium in front of the fish is heavily refracting a beam of white light that would otherwise hit the spot where the fish is being bitten. I am not sure about it's fins, or eye though.
I can appreciate the effort that went into making the individual parts of the fish different layers, or at least selections, and not have the edges ultra jaggy.
6/10.
>>861411
I still don't understand this.
>>861413
This image is tiny, and the background could be easily made transparent, seeing as it is a .png.
Other than that the actual fish appears like a nice small scale abstraction of the original, and the face the figure makes, is not only nicely drawn, but also very entertaining.
4/10. Technical issues pulling this down from a 6/10.

I believe I have already rated these two images. Hang on, let me check the archive.
Yes, Sneaky fish.jpg was rated as sneaky_fish.gif. I don't much like rotationfish, and it received a 2/10.
This still images is much more pleasant to look at, even though the watermark in the top right corner kind of ruins it.
4/10. It's something.
Small eyed fish.jpg looks like a sunfish to me and I am certain that I have previously rated it as well, but the archive doesn't provide a result.
Thus I will have to rate it again.
The image-size and file-size are good. 1280x720 at only 58.45KB is a bargain. The image quality is acceptable, and any blur can be blamed on the fact that the image is meant to be under water.
The overall composition of the image works well too. The eye of the fish is on the horizontal 1/3rd and vertical 1/3rd line, making it well centered. The curvature of the fish leads the viewer's eyes to the left half of the image, towards the mouth of eye of the fish. The detail on the eye is interesting, as you can see it's retina and pupils clearly, despite being slightly blurred.
From a technical aspect, this would be a 9/10. Very good job. But from a content perspective, there isn't a girl, the fish is not being bitten and there is no deeper message to any of it (unless I am missing a reference to something).
Sadly, this takes the image down to a 7/10. Above average, but not perfect.
>>869314
A classic with a twist. The way the text is centered around the two main figures focuses the view on the place where the fish is being bitten, and the asymmetric nature of the image is far more pronounced due to the asymmetric text. The way the text hangs off to the side adds a dynamic to the image.
Sadly, the image is tiny, and it is clear that it was meant to be an icon for something. Yet the transparency was lost, depsite the image being a .png.
This pushes the rating down hard. 3/10. It's not terrible, but it could have been a lot better.
>>869802
The individual fish are very clear, and I applaud whoever made it for generating an extremely high quality fish cut out.
While the light and dark contrast of the girl and the fish works, I believe it would have been a lot better if the fish were properly shaded to fit the environment.
6/10.

Interestingly enough, some fish have to actually drink water. They swallow it into their stomachs, where it is directed into their intestines and absorbed into their bloodstream. Other fish don't need to drink water, because they can absorb water via their gills or skin. I am not certain if koi actively drink water or not.
The image itself is of acceptable size, though the hats are badly cropped and pasted, and the fish is slightly pixelated as well. A 4/10.
>>870870
>Sparkle fish.jpg
The image size and overall technical quality is good, though I have to ask: why is she holding such a small pan in her hand while seasoning the fish? Even if she intended to cook the fish in that pan now, that pan looks too small to fit the entire length of the fish. 6/10. Above average presentation, but lacking a message (besides that girls in aprons always look cute).
>Spiderfish.jpg
That's not a spiderfish. Spiderfish are fish that live on the bottom of the ocean and use elongated pectoral fins to move along the seafloor. I get the joke though, and I think it's funny. The image itself is rather small, and the fish looks strange. It's a 3/10.
>>871488
For that image size, the file-size is rather small. Large areas of solid colours are where JPG really shines. The fish is very well cropped, the text is easily readable, and the shadow really adds a certain something. I get what they were trying to achieve with the enlarged eyes (shock, terror), but enlarging the eye, and making the pupil smaller would have had a better effect.
Over all: 7/10. Well executed, but lacking a deeper meaning.
>>871690
>Strange fish.jpg
That girl looks very satisfied. The image size is acceptable, and the girl looks acceptably cute, but the background is horrible, and the fish looks stupid. 4/10. It's slightly subaverage.
>Striped fish.png
Now that is a skillful edit. Not only is the image bigger than the original, it also featuress a very original fish and the girl is a lot more detailed. Look at her eyes, her fingernails, thee fish's ribbon. This took effort. 7/10 very well executed.
>>871977
So that hand coming from the top is handing a big fish to the girl on the right, which is handing a smaller fish to the girl on the left, which is handing even smaller fish to a little ice fairy, while Sakura and the fish hang out in the foreground?
I have seen stranger things before.
The way Sakura and the fish were edited in appears well done, but the hand coming from above is obviously enlarged beyond what is reasonable. The girl on the left has had her mouth replaced with the shark-toothed mouth of Chiru, but it's so small you barely notice it.
It's well done,and the way the fish is handed down from a god, to an medium, to a distributor, to the consumer could represent the way fish-OC is spread around the world. (God gives inspiration, an artist creates a new work and publishes it, some intermediate saves it and redistributes it to a consumer).
6/10.
>>872238
That coat may be comfy, but it's super lewd as well. All you would need to do is loosen the ties on her shoulders and the entire thing would fall off her, leaving her naked. The way she holds the fish is strange. You would think it would flop out of her hands at any point.
The image is very large, and the girl looks reasonably cute, especially in that coat. The background is blurred, but it appears to be some sort of 3DCG.
6/10.
>>872462
That image is clearly a thumbnail of some original work. Never the less, it looks like someone tried theeir best to draw the fish. The girl even looks acceptable. 2/10. It's a fish image, OK?
>>872762
Did the fish disappear before she could bite into it, which creates some kind of satanic ritual murder, or was the fish merely an illusion to torture this poor soul?
Anyways, the edit is supremely well done. I give it an 8/10.
>>873051
I may have never eaten a taco, but even I think it's absurd to eat a taco from the bottom of the shell first. Wouldn't the filling fall out? Wouldn't she get sauce all over her hands?
The image size is acceptable, and the sombrero crop is very well done, but a hat that large should cast a shadow, as the shadow on the underside of he actual hat suggests.
5/10.

I am not certain if I have rated this image before, but it falls under the same category as the other fish t-shirts: 10/10 if someone actually pulled it off.

I would certainly like to own one myself.

I am not sure how to rate this. Should I rate it low, because it's Akinator, or should I rate it high, because someone went through the effort of asking it about the fish?

1920x1080 would be nice, if it was a good image, but holy shit the fish looks like the worst possible crop got scaled up to shit. The compression of whatever video this is a screenshot of creates a very unpleasant shimmer on everything.

>>874166
I am sure I have seen/rated this one before, but it doesn't appear in the archive, so I am going to have to rate it again.
The image resolution and size are good, the girl is cute, the lighting could be a little better though. The train car appears to be very bright, but who would light a train car brightly at night?
The fish reflection is expertly done. No pixelation, well done transparency, fits the perspective of the window. The loli is obviously sleepy and thinking about something important. You can feel that her eyes are pratically shutting themselves in that moment.
