Serious question: is this anime good? I really liked Hellsing and i heard this is from the same author so...
>>149469608
Enjoyable
>>149469608
It's fun
>>149469608
It's dumb fun.
If you're expecting any depth, fuck right off.
Otherwise you can enjoy having your gospel throttled.
>>149469608
japs loves it so much it sells like hotcakes, jesus tits just look it in stalker thread
>>149469608
Only if someone as well educated and refined man like you dares to have fun.
>>149469608
If you liked Hellsing you'll like this
It's enjoyable

Oh, it's shit then.

Literally every anime every.
>>149471553
I watched very few anime in my life, i can't distinguish a good from a bad one, i came here just to hear your opinion.
>>149469608
If you don't care that they literally rape these characters right out of history and give them migraine-inducing behaviors, it's worth the watch just to see the shit fly.

Does anyoen else find it unrealistic how all the natives are so bad at fighting? Even though they have plenty of experience with war, they are shown as so incompetent they cant put up a fight against...anyone.
>>149472860
As Nobunaga said, all the elite troops are in the frontlines. All the troops the Drifters have been fighting are third-rate reservists, and the elves they are working with have been oppressed for decades.
>>149469608
it's trash
>>149469608
Not unlike GATE, its a reaction to the recent upswing in Japanese nationalism due to the deaths of two Japanese journalists at the hands of ISIS.
The story and its characters are very shallow. The animation is good but the number of frames does not increase in intense action scenes, making them "laggy"(in lack of a better word). Its slighly more edgy compared to Kouta Hirano's previous works.
>>149469608
Just fucking watch this. Drop it when if you don't like it.
Everyone grin while acting edgy before a fight. There is no character that does not grin all the time and is not edgy.
Summing up plot of every shit from this author:
>mc guy grin and act cocky "I'm so strong im gonna fuk u up"
>opponent grin harder "I'm stronger and It's gonna be fun bring it on"
>HIJJJAAAAAAAA WAAATCHAAAAAA
>guy bleeding, dying, still shit eating grin
>that was fun... ugh
Short answer, no.
Long answer, no but it's written in such a way that it's entertaining. It's not horrible, it's just trashy. It's lowbrow and exploitative and it doesn't care that it's that, and instead milks that for all that it's worth.
>>149472860
You don't send the god-tier elite fighters into the backwoods to deal with rebels, especially since you have the Ends to take care of the Drifters.
It's like you guys hate fun.
>>149469608
The fifth episode is pretty shitty
>>149474833
>Not unlike GATE, its a reaction to the recent upswing in Japanese nationalism due to the deaths of two Japanese journalists at the hands of ISIS.
Except he's been writing Drifters since 2009 and we're not even at the point in the story where that happened irl and would've affected his writing.
>>149469608
Only one way to find out, faggot.
>>149474833
>Its slighly more edgy compared to Kouta Hirano's previous works
>his previous work had Nazi vampires eating babies and KKK-looking crusaders slaughtering people in the name of God
Nah
>>149475357
>KKK-looking crusaders
Spanish priests
>>149474833
Drifters is over 7 years old, the impetus behind making it has nothing to do with a political landscape that has existed for less than 5 years. Don't talk about shit you have absolutely no information about you pompous windbag.
>>149475012
>It's lowbrow and exploitative
Well yeah it's an anime
This whole threads excuse:
>it's supposed to be shit because it's anime!
Watch better anime.
>>149472026

Honestly, no.
It's mindless and dull.
I could barely get through episode 3.

How'd you come up with this shit opinion
It's ok, a lot more interesting than the other tripe /a/ normally fawns over.
>>149469608
Drifters and Flip Flappers are only enjoyable anime this season.

Read the manga, nerd.
>>149476144
Izetta is boring to be honest.He forgot Keijo though.
It's non stop action, It's honestly great.
Mix in characters from the Samurai era and the Wild West it works so fucking well.
>>149469608
I like it so far.
>>149475108
Why?
>>149477966
It's a pun you nerd.
>>149478001
You never know.
>>149477966
Shit must've been stink
>>149478155
Have you ever entered a room after an orgy session?
>>149469608
It started off pretty fun/exciting but quickly becomes boring. Less fights and more talking/planning but they're hollow words. It's really not developing anything. And spliced between all that are the gags I've never found funny.
Hellsing was good because it was fun watching Alucard do shit. He was a smug bastard who stomped everyone, it was brainless and didn't make much sense BUT he was the only character in the cast who really acted that way. In this new manga, everyone acts like Alucard and as a result is relatively boring.
It's like Medaka Box or Zettai Karen Children. Certain characters are good because they don't get overwhelming amounts of screentime and we generally focus on characters who are more boring but stable protagonists. The second Kumagawa or Hyoubu got their own lead, the shows failed because they're boring when focused on exclusively.
>>149478548
Your problem is you can't follow more than one character. The story is moving nicely actually.
>>149475357
I agree, and to add on to that while Drifter's protagonists are morally grey but a lot closer to traditional "good guys" than Alucard ever was.
>>149477297
>killed
>Implying he did not disappear mysteriously, body never found
>just like a drifter
>>149479469
You know he's the leader of the bad empire in Drifters, right?
Can't anyone see that ep 5 was ripped off from this movie? Haha Japs don't have their own culture, they only adapt western ideas.
>>149479630
It's confirmed in mango? I've just jumped into this series. That would be quite cheap actually, I expected someone else for surprise.
>>149479723

You see him.

This has to be some kind of elaborated trolling, right?

Kurosawa confirmed
>>149479810
Finally, someone seems to get it.
>>149479810
I would assume so
>>149477966
Was it rape?
>>149480145
Not when it's an elf.
>>149472026
That really depends on your definition of "good" and "shit".
>>149480145
Not when you enjoy it.
>>149480173
My favorite meme.
>>149480324
the one at the bottom seems to
>>149480361
Mine too, thanks for recognizing it
>>149480400
She smiles because she knows that these humans get what they deserve.
>>149480324
I wonder if half-elves are a thing in Drifterland. Also, the logistics of this has me curious. Are the elf women always kept in the rape room? Or do they regularly perform other tasks than just those of a sexual character? And these women were taken as spoils of war when the elf land was occupied, right? So the elf women have most likely spent decades getting raped? Has it been one long continuous rapefest or did they just happen to be caught at a bad time?
>>149480561
I would happily die after raping women every day for a decade.
Why even live if they are gonna take your pussy supply from you? You know life will never be the same after that.
>>149469608
I'm enjoying it as much as hellsing at the moment. If you think pre-modern Japanese history is interesting it's a lot of fun. Toyohisa is an idiot but the world seems to bend to his will regardless so it's often a nice mix of violence and unintentional humor.
>>149480692
>Why even live if they are gonna take your pussy supply from you?
You could probably ask this every civilization on earth.
>>149480673
Elves said that they are allowed to procreate once a year. So they are sexed in the rapedungeon for the rest of the year and then fucked by elves for the remaining part.
>>149480822
Then there is just one more question: Are the women the ones who can only procreate once a year or do the male elves only have one load per year?
>>149480966
Probably the women or you would see SOME pregnant elves in there
>>149480966
Are you sure it's "can only procreate once a year," and not "are only allowed to procreate once a year?" As in, they are biologically capable of procreating whenever, but they are only allowed to do so once per year.
>>149481102
You are retarded
It wouldn't be a fucking surprise that they are getting raped if they could talk to them once a year, dumbfuck.
>now you realize there weren't even infant or baby female elves in the village
ITS AWRIGHT
So who is Black King? What are your bets?
>>149481415
The lord keeps them in a separate room for personal use.
>>149481572
The manga never says it's Jesus, but it's really fucking obvious that it's Jesus.
>>149481605
But the hand! No scar!
>>149481793
they're on his palms
>>149481823
Those Romans sure had some magic nails. Normal ones would have to pierce the whole hand to keep Jesus nailed to the cross.
At first I was just "wtf" how black king was obviously Jesus, but then I remembered who's the author.
>>149481793
Looks like Jaffar from Disney. Probably an egipcian or something.
>>149481572
>>149481605
>>149481793
Well, that line in his hand could be seen as a scar.
>>149481976
They'd nail the wrists, not the hands. Nailing the hands is no good. And they'd also use rope to tie the arms to the cross.
>>149481793
He has a scar on one palm, and has magic ability to duplicate things.
Seems very suggestive.
>>149482155
>>149482161
Either way >>149481793 should have scars visible.
>>149482090
Or Gilgamesh.
>>149482182
You guys have to remember Jesus wasn't an original character. There was at least one guy before him that did the same stuff he did, even the rebirth after 3 days thing.
>>149482203
Yeah, pretty suggestive.
>>149469608
If you like Hellsing, you'll like Drifters.
>>149481976
In real life they wouldn't have pierced the hands at all, too thin to support human body weight, they drove the nails through the wrists.
>>149482337
see >>149482212 and >>149481823 is retarded either way
>>149469608
Do you like Gate? If you do, then you'll love this.
>>149482203
So it IS Jesus!
>>149482374
He has the scars on his palms, you can see them.
Can't wait
Hopefully we get a Sesaon 2
>>149481793
>>149482090
>>149482233
Maybe he is an Egyptian Gilgamesh with Jesus characteristics.Shitposting is real.
>>149482516
1)see >>149482337 and >>149482161
2)Where are the scars on >>149481793?
For whatever reason I just can't get behind Toyohisa, and since he's the MC it puts a big damper on the whole thing for me. But yeah it's very Hellsing, lots of over the top violence and gore mixed with a bit of goofiness.
>>149482629
>Where are the scars on >>149481793?
If there aren't scars on the other side then it's either Hirano's fault or he isn't Jesus. I mean, they pierced him, wouldn't that leave a scar in both sides?
>>149482629
Has it ever occurred to you that Hirano just didn't draw them? Or that he didn't think that part through?
This is the guy that said, "if I ever fuck up, correct me"
>>149482621
Jokes in Drifters feels grating and weird at times. but it always gets me when it comes to historical references like pic related
Also what era do you guys want the next Drifters to come from? Third Crusade would be great
Also Rommel working together with Kanno and Admiral would be awesome as fuck
>>149482832
? I'm just laughing at >>149482516 who seems to be visually impaired.
>>149482856
>Nazis as the good guys
I can never get through this, that's just too much
>>149482913
Look at the scene where he reaches out his hands to the orcs.
Fuck it, I'll take a screencap myself since you don't seem to differentiate between the palm and the back of the hand.
>>149482988
Right here, fresh screenshot
>>149472026
Yes. It's shitty but quite enjoyable.Keep talking shit about my shitty series and I'll take your head m8.
>>149482988
>>149483047
Does fucking Hirano think they just tickled him with the nails and that the back of the hand shouldn't have scars if the palm has them? Holy shit, that's pretty retarded.
>>149483047
And here's another one when he tells them to go after the Drifters
NA NANA NA NA NA
NANA NANANA
>>149483117
Remember, he once wrote Alucard in english letters as Arucard.
When a fan asked him "was that intentional? Because that doesn't spell Dracula backwards", his answer was "that was a mistake on my part, if you notice something like that, inform me so people can't see my fuckups forever in tankoban releases"
>>149483232
tankoubon*
>>149483232
Nips legitimately have a single sound that's somewhere between L and R so they just like use whatever. They're both the same to them.
It's why their first SNES controllers used those buttons, to artificially inflate their game difficulty.
>>149483180
why haven't they played this op in awhile, it's pretty badass.
>>149483398
Yes but he still make a mistake because he was writing in english letters.
Hirano's an odd duck. He's the only mangaka I know that actually worked with the english dub team on the animated adaptation of his work.
>>149481605
Actually the manga is implicating that it's somebody else now from the future due to him knowing everyone
>>149481605
>>149481793
It's a red herring, other Apostles were also believed to be crucified and they made miracles later in their lives; Saint Peter for one is strongly believed to be crucified upside down.
>>149483582
Well Jesus is also God and God is omniscient so it doesn't rule that out.
>>149483615
No he says that he is a mortal and will die thus why he is teaching the Orcs to farm
>>149483606
>red herring
Hirano doesn't do red herrings. Everything in Hellsing that you expected to be the case, was the case.
Except the Major being a cyborg. No one saw that coming, but it also was largely irrelevant.
>>149483582
Would make no sense IMO.
Since someone from the future makes the reader not give a flying fuck about him.
>>149483582
>it's somebody else now from the future due to him knowing everyone
That doesn't discredit him being Jesus, he is the Son part of the Holy Trinity, Omniscience is readly available.
>>149483671
I don't mean from the future future I mean the future compared to the other Drifters
Wat kind of souless existence does not enjoy elf rape.
Obnly thing that botters e is whey they made Anniballook so old while escipion is somewhat young.
And how the hell are hey gonna fix the problem with the fuel for the plane. Magic ?
>>149483117
They don't always simply draw every detail on anime. It's just one screenshot.
No, it's shit filled with retarded comedy to suit teenagers. Even as an edgy lover, I couldn't stand even the first 10 minutes of the first episode.
>>149483715
Considering 2 of them are from WW2, he would have to be from now.
Wait, is it Criss Angel? Were his miracles real all along?
>>149483767
Criss Angel isn't dead. He's not even old.
>>149483730
You are drunk, go home.
>>149483740
Don't be retarded, omitting it is a crucial mistake. It's obvious that mistakes often happen, but they are still ridiculed when some people find them exceptionally funny/retarded/etc.
>>149483815
His hands are like that in the manga too.
>>149483755
This whole show is the edge done the worst way, just like the Hellsing, but it's ridiculousness makes it kinda bearable.
Not like this Hellsing comic-book rip off that was a meme here few years ago. Anyone remembers the title?
>>149483832
Kill La Kill.
>>149483826
So what? Just another Hirano mistake that I find funny.
>>149483894
No I just saying, the anime isn't fucking up. They are faithfully copying the manga. The manga just got it wrong.
>>149483925
If you read the comment chain it was already mentioned. see >>149483117
>>149483832
Devil May Cry
What if he gave himself those scars to make people think he's jesus, but he just wasn't hardcore enough to shove nails all the way through because holy hell, spikes hurt.
>>149484016

That one by Gene Simmons' kid?
It was a rip-off of Hellsing and Bleach panels.
>a few years ago.
It was 6 years ago, you are getting old, we are getting old.
MY MIND IS TELLING ME NO
>>149484083
Ok THAT is edgy.
>>149484168
People guessed that pretty early on because of him lamenting he's getting older.
>>149483787
But of course, that's right! I guess it can't be Criss Angel then...
For fuck sake, anon.
>>149484165

You have it backwards. The KK took inspiration from them.
My only gripe I have is making Rasputin so prim and proper.Joan of Arc a cute!
>>149479723
Pretty sure it's already been revealed in the anime too. He appeared in the drifters world decades before the events of the series and incited an uprising that ended with the founding of the Orte Empire. Then he offed himself before the series started.

Putting multiple quotations doesn't magically give your post more validity. If anything it just points you out as a meming fuck to not take seriously.
>>149488104
The quotation marks are for sarcasm because the comedy in Hellsing was terrible.
What the hell are you talking about? Validity?
>>149488358
I know it's sarcasm, but it's shitty meming to do so through multiple quotations and makes me not want to take you seriously because you can't make a post without resorting to that.

Yeah that looks like a scar from a nail
>>149501611
The Stigmata manifested as a hole or circular scar on the palm in a lot of representations, despite not being where they actually put nails on those who were crucified, so I'd give it a pass.
>>149483398
>It's why their first SNES controllers used those buttons, to artificially inflate their game difficulty.
That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about game design to refute it.

Its common practice to rotate troops out of the front lines for R&R though, and so that inexperienced troops can learn from the other veterans at the front.
