/animu/ - Anime & Otaku Culture

You should check out Rintaro's stuff sometime (his NeoTokyo segment is a good start). He selectively blends eastern and western animation techniques in his work and the results are pretty interesting.

>Who the biggest westaboo in anime industry?

Hiroya Oku, no doubt. Don't even dream of anyone getting closer to the complete stereotype. Proof you say? Read one issue of Gigant and tell me you didn't want to puke.

You could say everyone was a bit of a westaboo, 40 years ago when everyone copied Star Wars and Star Trek. And it wasn't a problem, since it was the good stuff. But nowadays? It's all capeshit and jewllywood.

Howdy /a/, my name is Kenichi Smith.

I'm a 27 year old Japanese Toonaholic (Cartoon fan for you foreigners). I draw cartoons and comics on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior American games. (Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty)

I train with my 1911 every day, this superior weapon can shoot straight through steel because it kicks ass, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my gun license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak English fluently, both the Midwestern and the East Coast accents, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their Constitution, which I follow 100%

When I get my American visa, I am moving to New York to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Nickelodeon or a game designer!

I own several cowboy outfits, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I keep cool to my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in America!

Gomenasai, my name is Ken-Sama.

I'm a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)

I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!

I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Japan!

Shit happens. Its just people feel as if there isn't enough pay off.

A major plot event happened pretty early in the series and people have been saying/felt that the series is stagnating because it hasnt gotten such a major event again since then. There is shitload of setup for happenings but that shit has been teased since the previously mentioned event and its like 2 years now and we still have yet to reach that. Plus the mangaka seems to have been struggling with the mangaka schedule/life and has consistently delivered shorter than from the earlier parts chapters. All this just adds up and people are feeling frustrated at time although there are exciting moments sprinkled in (shonenshit standards that is). The manga juggles villain arcs and school arcs and it feels like the school arcs often overstay their welcome.

If you view/read it all at once it's "slowdown" is way less felt.

>union of Harry Potter and capeshit

I've never read or watched HP beyond the first movie so I don't really know what you mean. As for capeshit its way more coherent but starts off very simple and plays it pretty safe. It bois down to "Naruto but not absolutely fucking retarded and also its capes".

Anything comfier?

Stagnation of the most vanilla garbage is commonplace in Western and Oriental entertainment, for the most part anyway. I blame corporatism and degeneration of spirit as the largest, overall factors contributing to this.

>Desert Punk

Ahh there you go, right on the fuckin mark! By the way i think it’s safe to assume that Mad Max solidifies the post-apocalyptic desert wasteland setting and ingrained it into the wide masses.

Funnily enough, Marvel used to have a line of weeb (as in made to emulate the style of mango) comics that are just called that, i think it was called Marvel Manga or some shit, i dunno some /co/mrade dug it up before the board became a fucking ghost town. It’s a reminder that way before Marvel made bank with their capeshit flicks (though admittedly, some of them were good), they were on the opposite side of the cultural exchange.

>Apocalyptic Ocean

Like what, fucking Water World? Although i did once read a wicked japanese science-fiction novel wherein a scientist experimented upon his own fucking kid along with several other unfortunate offsprings to condition them to be able to survive the coming apocalypse of the ocean submergimg fucking everything. Too bad, the whole research is illegal, shit hits the fan, and the experimented children was only able to reach a small desolate island before expiring.

>Mad Max solidifies the post-apocalyptic desert wasteland setting

If you haven't, watch A Boy And His Dog. It's the movie that Mad Max plagiarized.

>Like what, fucking Water World?

Basically, all that's left is small islands.

Futaba really likes that spider man movie. They like Penny Parker specifically, a lot
