>What's happening is part of a phenomenon I wrote about a couple of months ago when I was asked to comment on Naoko Yamada. I went to my hōga for a viewing of "Koe no Katachi." I suffered a great deal in the process. The directing was dreadful; the movie was terrible. As I watched, I noticed that every time a character started the conversation, the director chose instead to cut to a shot of a desk or feet. I began marking on the back of my ticket every time that shot was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the ticket several dozen times. I was incredulous. Yamada's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of directing.
>But when I spoke up about this, I was denounced. I was told that children would now watch only Naoko Yamada in schools, and I was asked whether that wasn't, after all, better than watching nothing at all? If Yamada was what it took to make them pick up anime, wasn't that a good thing?
>It is not. "Koe no Katachi" will not lead our children on to "Hakujaden." It will not lead them to Atamanov's "Snow Queen" or Yuriy Norshteyn's "Hedgehog in the Fog" or even my own "Princess Mononoke."
>Later I read a lavish, loving review of Koe no Katachi by Makoto Shinkai. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are watching Koe no Katachi at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to watch Kimi no Na wa." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you watch "Koe no Katachi" you are, in fact, trained to watch Makoto Shinkai.

What did he mean by this
Only smart guy in the industry and /a/ hates him
>>151166544
Fucking brutal.
How much value do you put into visual direction?
>>151163588
A lot. I'm a Shaftfag.
It depends on whether I like the anime or not.
>>151163664
That looks like crap.
They don't call her Yuri for nothing.

Gook comics are not /a/-related, take it elsewhere.

Also, as a reminder of 4chan's policy on Korean manhwa and Chinese manhua on /a/, see pic related.
If an /a/ mod thinks otherwise, please make a reply with your capcode and we'll take the thread elsewhere.

I can't believe I wasted 9 hours of my life watching this.
I'll never trust /a/ again.
Hyouka also took 9 hours from me. The 10 minutes I spent on episode 1 and the 8 hours, 50 minutes I spent sleeping afterwards.

Why?
>>151154192
>being able to make working giant mecha
>Still stupid enough to make giant mecha
Why?
>>151154307
It's cool.
Because mecha are garbage.
Just a reminder:
>those guns the mecha are carrying could be easily mounted on the tanks
>the tanks are a more accurate and stable platform to fire the guns from
>the tanks are cheaper to produce
>easier to maintain
>present a much harder to hit target
>don't have scrutural weakspots anywhere near as obvious and easy to target
>won't fall over
>can move faster
>have a much better armour to weight ratio, meaning they're much more durable
Only absolute retards like mecha.

I know barely anyone here even reads this manga but fuck it I'm so pissed off. Itagaki is literally the worst thing to happen to this manga. I just finished reading chapter 911 (Itagaki beats Saeki) and it's such complete bullshit.
Ippo had 20+ fights and 3 years of backbreaking hardwork to get where he is and for this pompous little shit to become better than him because "le genius" is such utter horseshit. Seriously,fuck this mangaka. What on earth was he thinking? Itagaki doesn't even crack the top 15 in character polls yet he is forcing this ass down our throats. I've never wanted to drop this manga more than now. It just makes all Ippo's hardwork look pointless.
What an utter cunt of a character. Does anyone even like him?
>>151149345
Ita is a fucking nigger
>>151149345
Shame about it, anime was pretty good
I feel like you should have put a spoiler on some of that, but you're right, probably no one is still reading for the first time this.
I agree that itagaki got strong way too fast, but being a genius in boxing can be a trait you just have, it's not like itagaki is a complete noob or anything. But if you ask me, Ippo would not lose to him. Itagaki may be fast and have good strategy, but Ippo is too strong and durable. Not to mention all the experience he has. We've seen him conquer speed before, too.
Chapter 500 next week.
Let's take some time to make some predictions.
The new target being Zhao, it won't be a complete success because we know Han and Wei fell before Zhao in reality. So it will probably either a huge failure (with some death amongst the generals so a new spot opens) or just a minor victory with the targeted city being unable to be held on the long term.
The real Riboku ran away to Yan after a huge defeat leading Zhao troops but I doubt it will be that one.
Anyway, all I want at this point is less battles and Shin finally giving the D to Ten.

Kanki dies in this arc. It's obvious because it fits history And he got a figure for the tenth birthday of Kingdom. Only he, completely randomly.
>>151148799
Kanki, the real one, didn't die. He blundered and make the emperor extremely angry. Kanki ran for his life and was never seen again.
>>151148828
So yeah, he will probably do something atrocious and ultimatly pointless this time and Sei won't forgive him, "killing" the character literally or virtually. We need those Great Generals slots.
This is a boy.
