First FLCL and now LWA. America really is saving anime.

fuck anime

Japan's capacity for animating has recently exceeded the buying power of the Japanese anime fans.
The American-funded anime will not replace Japanese anime (which is purpose-bound as multi-media franchises and advertisements, but it will create a 4th anime sphere.

Oh shit, I vaguely remember that during the AMA shilling session, they said something about how someone was actually showing interest in funding them for it to be series or something. Back then there were anons speculating that someone is Netflix and with the way things are now, that is very likely.

What are the odds that they're waiting to see how people are responding to the KS funded OVA and then going for a full series from there?

>>143734447
The typical american doesn't know that the nips have been making over 100+ for similar type of shows (some of which are better). Since voltron is all they know, it's what they keep hanging on to.

>>143734469
Netflix didn't put up Kuromukuro worldwide until the season was finished whereas Japan got it from the get-go. Probably something in the contract from tv stations airing anime afraid for losing a portion of their audience to the service.

The toys were some of the coolest in the 80's and my generation has a huge nostalgia boner for it. All of the middle series were obviously made by creatives who wanted to remake their childhood or by executives who thought they could respark it's popularity, but the new series is actually not bad.

Voltron was SUPER popular when I was a kid. Everyone knew Voltron. It aired the same year as Transformers and rode behind it in popularity. Also the original metal lion toys were fucking great.

The only good capeshit movies were Watchmen and Darkerman. Everything else was either Decent or completely shit.

If FLCL turns out shit then I won't trust an American company backing an existing franchise again. Just pump that money into a original anime by some creative mind instead of doing the very American thing of just making sequels

>>143734811
Yeah, one of the worst things about people who claim themselves as oldfags is generally that they try to be super nostalgic, as though the past were golden times.

>>143735039
Different years are better for different shit.
2008ish was the best time to talk about manga, before the midnight manga threads go shit on by anti-source faggots and we moved into the much shittier OPT, 3x3 manga editions, and random genre threads.

Prior to 2007 /a/ had a better sense of humor. No, that's not right, it was more open about it's horrible sense of humor, and we shit on people less for be goobers and more for not knowing enough about anime.

Modern /a/ is great for talking about the actual production of anime. We have a ton of people who care a lot about the staff, voice talent, and behind the scenes doings on /a/ right now.

>>143733297
>America really is saving anime.
/a/ isn't america, fuck you. FLCL getting a sequel is also bad and nothing more than taking a giant shit on the original work.

>>143735171
>FLCL getting a sequel
I dunno. If it was the original staff, and a completely different set of characters it might not be ~that~ bad.

>>143734483
Your welcome nips and thank you for the anime

>>143735361
No, it'll still be bad. There is no need for a sequel and there is nothing left to tell for a sequel. It's nothing more than a shitty cashgrab replying on retard nostalgiafags who don't understand what makes something good and I am yet to see anything like this before manage to be good and not shit all over what made the series good. One of the reasons FLCL was good was because it was that small self-contained story. I would never ask for a sequel of it just as you would never ask for a sequel for like, I don't know, Cowboy bebop.

Oh boy here we go.

>>143736648
Yes, that is normally referred to as a 'spin-off'. These normally have nothing to do with the original story and are their own thing in the same universe. A good portion of the time these are also shit and are just ridding on the brand name. A spin-off still has a potential to be good because its meant to be something in the same universe, not something apart of the main story. However, a sequel isn't a spin-off. We aren't getting small self-contained FLCL spin-offs, we are getting FLCL s2 and s3, aka sequels.

>>143736206
Tacitly admitting that you're new as shit

What're yall niggas complaining about exactly?
A full season of LWA sounds fantastic. And so does a FLCL sequel. I have no doubt that I'm going to enjoy them both.

>>143736730
Why don't you just go watch normal western tv? You will get the exact same thing you want from anime. As in, LITERALLY getting that. Unless you can say you love most things on western tv, you're retarded to think this is in anyway positive for anime.

>>143736733

Yes but at least I don't think fondly of that show. Much better than probably tarnishing any good memories I had of FLCL and all the other inevitable sequel revival garbage.

It's a little better then okay. It did a lot well, a LOT. It's not the best thing ever, and I wouldn't say it's even in my top ten, but if I had only watched anime that was on English language television I would probably have a much much higher opinion of it.

Netflix anime threads are my favorite threads on /a/ mostly because /a/ goes from a fairly well-adjusted board(inasmuch as the stuff we regularly masturbate to counts as well-adjusted) into paranoid and hostile.

>>143737188
It's above average but not really something to clamor over.

>>143737219

>>143737185
People like to shit on it because people like to treat it as one of the greatest things ever made. Normally by people new to the medium.

>>143737404
Bebop, however, IS in my top ten. It has almost no bad episodes, almost not flaws, and Megumi Hayashibara.

Fuck Netflix. They only know how to finance spinoffs, sequels, and thinly veiled ersatz versions of famous TV series. They're gonna fuck FLCL season 2 and Little Witch Academia up so hard because they don't actually understand WHY people like that kind of stuff.

>30 minute episodes
>Yoshinari as director

It's almost a dream. But holy shit they're going to suffer so much. Yoshinari is a perfectionist, he and the entire studio are probably going to work nonstop, barely sleeping for a very long while. Pretty sure they've been at this point for months, but it's only going to get worse the more closer they'll get to release date.

Anyway, I'm fucking excited.

I don't know what to think about the new FLCL.

Pros: new characters and stories instead of a remake like it seemed at the beginning, Pillows and Sadamoto are on board, the setting and premise still have a lot of potential.

Cons: Tsurumaki and Enokido (granted he can't write for shit anymore) aren't on board, and neither are Yoshinari, Imaishi and the whole old Gainax crew. And it's IG, who knows if they have any idea of what they're doing.

Anyway, even if it turns out terrible it won't erase the old series, so you should all stop bitching.

You are vastly overestimating their influence. The only reason they get the voice they do in the U.S. is because they can infiltrate those American based industries, especially the Video games industry. What the hell can they do here? They have no traction in Japan, the people who consume anime don't care for their opinion. Where does their influence have any input?

It will erase its legacy. People will be jumping on the FLCL bandwagon for the first time, ruining it forever. It's like comparing someone who's watched Eva 10-15 years ago, to someone who's only heard of it now - two completely different demographics despite consuming the same media. Except with FLCL it's even worst, since it's already had that second phase airing on Toonami.

Netflix doesn't care that much about Berserk. They've had the first Golden Age movie for ages, and still haven't bothered to get the other two. Regardless of quality, it must not be getting that many views for them.

Literally nowhere does it say anything to that effect. Netflix just picked up a license. They've been doing this for a long time.
If Netflix didn't pick up LWA, CR or Funi would have.
The fact that there's so many threads misunderstanding this and making a big deal out of it just goes to show how infested with normalfags we've become.

Which is why they did fuck all for 15 years, right? Let's be honest, the only thing they felt was more was money to be made

>>143748858
Would've been better having him as director, but that gives me some more hope in this project.

That would be what it would take for me to have hope, basically.

>>143749005
Netflix only paid for the license to broadcast it, dingus. Basically the same thing Crunchyroll and Funimation do.

Independent of having money or not for good animation, Trigger already confirmed it will be a standard 25mins. series.

Nobody was willing to fund them? I don't see why any anime producer nowadays would have interest in greenlighting a sequel to an old obscure OVA. The Toonami guys funded Big OG S2, created IGPX (another IG original series is on the way), and simulcasted Space Dandy. They probably thought Toonami were the right guys to make it happen.

Also. It appears Pillows will be doing the soundtrack again.

I don't know what you're trying to say. I assume you mean how Haruhi was a meta comedy playing on overused anime tropes, but because it got popular, it unintentionally created a whole genre of meta comedies, none of which were as good as it. But that didn't make anime worse. Having all those shows that try to parody overused tropes and fail is still way better than just having shows that use overused tropes, which was how it was before Haruhi.

>>143750039

Netflix didn't have anything to do with the production of this. It's one of the most popular manga series in Japan so it was always going to get an anime.

The manga's great, batshit insane powers and it always subverts shounen tropes whenever it looks like it's getting cliched.

Mature storytelling, in the way I'm taking it, would be stuff attempting to be more serious/sophisticated, and I think those types of things done in a mainstream commercial environment generally wind up pretty mediocre.

>>143751392
Like everything, we'll take the good with the bad. Game of Thrones is lauded as mature storytelling, when it's basically on par with your average anime. Meanwhile the much better Fargo is a critical darling with a small but dedicated viewer base.

Nichijou did not get a continuation. They made a two-cour series with the intention of it being a two-cour series, and didn't add to it. That's different from the indefinite production model where everything basically gets seasons until you're told to stop and wrap it up.

They at least had the courtesy to end it and stick to the 1 cour than end it abruptly. Even if it's a cop out ending, it's still got an ending

It's really not an issue, considering there are fucking ~200 anime a year. I mean, there are probably more four-cour kids' shows made in a year than magical high school ones, go complain about what a blight those are.

>>143751905
>1 cour
Did you even watch Nichijou?

>>143751963

I'm not talking about Nichijou. I'm talking about that the current format is fine where anime gets 1 or 2 cours to finish rather than the west practice of cancelling a show abruptly because of ratings.

>>143751963
Someone who believes Nichijou got some sort of cancellation probably doesn't watch anime in the first place.

>>143741832

European art house films get some pity press annually because Americans find them quaint in small doses.

Not even surprised.

>>143749568
Europe is a smaller market then America, so imports less animu. Accounting for size, it imports less per capita, so really there are fewer European anime fans who buy less stuff and the continent as a whole doesn't care as much.

>>143736784
Because /a/utists always need something to bitch about to distract from their crushingly pathetic lives.

If the film is any good at all it would get press coverage. Enjoy your high school drama department big screen hits.

I'm pretty sure the french frogs alone import more animu than all of North America and half of Europe combined together.

>The American-funded anime will not replace Japanese anime (which is purpose-bound as multi-media franchises and advertisements, but it will create a 4th anime sphere.

Hooray, it's the late 80's and early 90's again. Yeah, they custom-made exploitation Japanimation for the American market back then, too.

Who even cares about FLCL? It was a garbage tier show that was 25% moping and 75% lol random stuff happening for no reason.

>>143752853
it is a 4/10

>>143733405

False. If that were true, then the French Frogs would have has more influence now.

>>143748431
Yeah, it's pretty dumb how much western fans have some kind of autistic misguided superiority complex and think they're saving anything when they don't actually have anything to do with this.

Finish adapting Birdy The Mighty.
Give Oshii The Blame franchise and a fuckton of money.
Quit trying to make Akira in New York.

>>143734587
>not any good cartoons being funded by Netflix
Bojack Horseman and Voltron would like a word with you. Western TV animation is really stepping its shit up these past few years, actually. Adult Swim is probably better than it's ever been, and while Cartoon Network still puts out plenty of stinkers (uncle grandpa, problem solverz, etc) they're at least trying to get new shit out there and not relying on dogshit television 3D animation.

Being /co/ is better than it's been in a while. too bad /co/ is still a shit tier board

>>143735775
It's a fucking shame, 2D animation is a refined art. I want nothing more than an original, compelling 2D animated American film. At the very least, it's coming back a little in TV animation compared to a few years ago when every new series was 3D and looked fucking awful.

>>143751657
here's your reply

>>143753531
>akira in new york
The fuck? I mean, I get it, they're assuming one big city can't be too different from any other, but Tokyo has a severely distinct look. Unless they're changing the plot so it's in New York, which is fucking dumb. If you're going to do that, you might as well make an entirely new movie and loosely base it on the plot of Akira.

>>143753871
I would have the Akira setting in Washington DC

>>143754007
If you had a team with some creative talent, you could probably translate the themes of Akira pretty well to the current U.S. social climate.

Or, just give George Miller and the team who made Fury Road an endless supply of money and access to the roads of Tokyo and tell them to go hog wild.

>Japan's capacity for animating has recently exceeded the buying power of the Japanese anime fans
How did this happen in the first place? Where is all the money for these new studios and projects coming from?

>>143754118
Production committees made up of several different sponsors, of course.

>>143754244
Yeah, but why anime out of all the things for committees and sponsors to throw money at?

>>143733405
>Japan's capacity for animating has recently exceeded the buying power of the Japanese anime fans.
Why is the actual animation still so unrefined, though? Getting an anime with legit technically good animation is still something of a rarity.

>>143753531
Oshii hasn't done anything decent in ages.

>>143754335
Because anime is the art of making things look good with as little actual animation as possible.

FLCL is shit.

>>143754335
Every medium has its good and bad, you can't expect everyone to produce Kyoani-level content all the time. I'm surprised it looks as good as it does already considering the low budgets and ridiculous time constraints it's currently made with.

>>143754454
Your a shit.

>>143754318
Because it's fucking cheap, of course. And there's a chance that the advertisement even pays for itself if it sells enough anime discs, netting some extra money in addition to whatever profit each sponsor makes as part of being allowed to use the license for whatever thing they were into. Not very much of course, but nobody's going to say no to free bonus cash.

>>143754517
>I'm surprised it looks as good as it does already considering the low budgets and ridiculous time constraints it's currently made with.
I liked Tezuka's way of thinking when it came to animating but I'm pretty sure they can do better than that.

>>143754335

You can only have only so many animators feed only by passion an ramen until you cannot make a return anymore, even more now with new raise laws.

Americans though, have money. We can only hope 'merica has some more interest in anime with all those weebs and all. I mean, look at the size of /a/ and even 4chan. If it's any indication, It's that the future of anime is with America.

>>143734782

Please tell me that all the idiots that think Netflix is funding this are trolling. It's the same case as with NnT.

That may be good decades ago when it means getting sci-fi etc, but those days are over. The good influences you are hoping for gone and dead.

Anyone who thinks American funded anime is a good idea just have to take a good look at comics, American movies and videogames.
