Masaaki Yuasa's new project

I think I will stop watching tv anime series and only watch anime movies now.

>>150940203
Unbelievable. Simply stunned.

>Tatami galaxy rehash
sigh

>>150940301
The novel came first dude

Meh. This is not what I expected for his movie.

>dude i'm so neurotic lmao
watch it for the visuals. Yuasa should put his time into something worthwhile like Kaiba or Ping Pong.

>>150940301
Basically this

I can't think of something more stagnant for Yuasa than doing this

I'm sure it will be a fun movie and all but if you are excited about this then you didn't really like Yuasa to begin with.

>>150940354
yeah it will probably be great but it would be better if he did something new. but perhaps he is doing it to try to get money to fund new projects or something like that? in which case it would be quite good

>>150940346
Ping Pong is the worst TV series Yuasa has made in all respects.

>>150940301
>>150940354
The novel for this came before Tatami Galaxy. It has some side characters in common with it but the focus is on a completely different pair of mains.

I thought he'd be the type of man to always want to do something new not go back and rehash something he made half a decade ago

>>150940761
before, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about

Apparently he still has an original movie in the works (or at least, his studio does), so there might still be something new down the line. I wonder where he would find the time for that if he was working on this though, unless this is a lower-profile quicker production. The PV kinda points at that.

Oh. New SZS ripoff.

oh and it's not too surprising that the movie was a 'rehash' of what is as far as I know his most successful & mainstream project, meanwhile really experimental stuff likely doesn't pay off as much

even in the west Yuasa fans rarely list Mind Game as their favorite; I mean it's my favorite but I get the feeling making a super wacky bizarre 'let's fuck around with animation' adaptation of an extremely obscure self insert manga no one cared about was pretty risky

of course I could be completely wrong about how much money his projects made, if so then correct me

>>150941543
He really needs to think about money now that he owns a studio.

So why does Yuusa have dedicated shitposters?

>>150941653
It's also worth noting that making movies based on a successful book author is a safety net, with Mind Game they adapted a manga by some random guy only they cared about

>>150941680
Anything good does.

>>150941680
What are you talking about? Most negative comments about this announcement are coming from Yuasa fans.

>>150941680
everything popular does but I think Yuasa fans can be particularly annoying. cancerous mal-reject/born-again youtube celeb "roriconfan"/"thatanimesnob" is an example of a Yuasa fan I absolutely can't stand despite mostly agreeing with him on what's good or bad just because he's a terrible pretentious try hard cunt

those that try to deal with bad fans by board-policing through spam are just as cancerous though

>>150941737
That's true. But it really seems like there's serious Yuasa hate for no legitimately reason, and it always infects every Yuasa thread.

>>150941855
Most of those so called "Yuasa" fans are complaining this isn't an original when if they paid any attention to the man they would already know it is already confirmed that he is working on two novel adaptation films and an original film.

>>150941884

Some people think he's pretentious even though the messages in most of the stuff he worked on are straightforward. Who knows.

Is this actually a sequel to Tatami Galaxy?

>The protagonist falls in love with "Otome," his junior in a college club, and struggles daily to be noticed by her. However, "Kurokami no Otome" is naïve and unsophisticated and is completely indifferent to him. This comical love fantasy depicts funny and interesting daily happenings in the city of Kyoto.

In terms of animation budget though, comparatively, I have feelings it might look cheaper.

>>150941952
It's a prequel not a sequel, it says it right there in the OP.

>>150941977
yeah

>>150941977
Very much so, there were 2 or 3 episodes where I was bored of the formula but they get relevant later and everything pays off in the end.

>>150942055
You think a film is going to look cheaper than a TV anime? Are you dumb? A theatrical film.

>>150942055
It literally looks better.

I don't read moon, but are they saying that they're using a new AKFG song?

>>150942056
Same difference, I'm asking if it's actually related in-universe or if it's just another take on the story.

>>150941945
the fans are often pretentious & describe the shows in a pretentious way so people assume the work is the same.

I initially assumed Mind Game was some gay art house bullshit with no sense of fun after first reading online opinions about it; I only watched it when I saw people talk about it as a 'fun wacky cartoon' in the comment sections on John K's blog posts.

then after I watched it I looked for online opinions again and saw people compare it to fucking Waking Life and other 'do I fit in yet' art film faggot animation and decided 'yeah screw these fans'

as much as I like a lot about the guy, one of Ben Ettinger's posts about Mind Game was part of the reason I thought that way. his writing is like that all the time though to be fair, not just when talking about """""artsy""""" things:

>I miss Group Tac, and it's films like this that are the reason.

>The 11 Cats is a wonderful film - an exuberantly animated, colorful, imaginative, zany, witty, freewheeling adventure about a group of 11 cats out on an odyssey to find a giant fish for dinner.

>>150942094
No yeah, obviously I recognize it's a film and it has a larger budget. I just don't have total confidence about the whole thing.

>>150941952
It's pretty different, it's mostly about the heroine's crazy adventures while the protag acts more like a stalker, the focus is more on the girl in that case.

>>150942056
The OP is wrong, Mijikashi was released after Yojouhan
They both take place in the same Morimi setting but it can hardly be called a sequel.

>>150942171
That little stuff in the PV runs already circles around everything in Tatami Galaxy.

>>150942171
If anything to me it looks like it might be even more stylised. Probably the result of Yuasa with more creative control.

>>150942151
>The 11 Cats is a wonderful film - an exuberantly animated, colorful, imaginative, zany, witty, freewheeling adventure
Well is he wrong, or not? most of those words are easier to say than 'pretentious'

Can't make this shit up

>>150942175

Yeah I'm sorry, I assumed it was related because I saw the style and some characters in common and I know an actual sequel to the novel exists, but it's more like a story set in the same universe.

Weird. I was looking up information about this exact book just a day or two ago. And now a movie about it gets announced. Strange feeling.

It's a series of books told in reverse order, with the things that happen later chronologically reffering back and informing how you understand the earlier things. Sort of like the movie Memento, on a larger scale, if you've seen it.

Movie year 2017 looks pretty good already.

Cat Soup is my least favorite Yuasa thing (yes I know he didn't direct it but the actual director said it's more Yuasa's work than his work). It's still great but something about it always rubbed me the wrong way and now I feel like that even more now that I know what Nekojiru's work was actually like.

Nekojiru was a deeply brokebrained sociopath, but with a ton of self awareness & a great sense of humor that allowed her to harness her innate weirdness & mental issues for comedy. It has a certain "fuck it all and fuck me too" honesty & lack of caring that's missing from the "okay we're making a serious art film to honor the avant garde art manga lady that killed herself" OVA, and yet the OVA is the only thing starring those cats that anyone in the west bothered with.

>>150940203

Not exactly. He wasn't the kantoku, but he was enshutsu alongside Sato (also doing the scenario together) and storyboarded it. It's definitely fair to call it his work.

That's bizarre, I can't rewatch Kaiba because some of the episodes (like Chronico's Boots) hit me too hard emotionally. I don't think I've ever experienced this with anything else.

Can't a director go back to a particular artstyle? Specially since we're talking about Yuasa, in which every single thing he has done is radically different from the other except from basic themes.

I'm a big fan of Yuasa and this got me pretty excited. He is also doing a series this year, so don't be so pessimistic.

>>150944693
would you have found it equally sad if Chronico was a completely average looking guy instead of a cute girl? what made it particularly sad? I guess the first-person view used for her death was a nice idea but it was more disturbing than sad.

it's ok if you can't explain it, after all I don't have a very deep reason for thinking Nekojiru's work is comedy gold beyond "it just is"
>>150944774
have you really never felt like an anime ruined a joke by being overly redundant? it's historical Japanese tradition to have a 'straight man' explain the joke to the audience.

the paneling doesn't pop out at all but I don't think more elaborate paneling would fit the 'every day insanity' tone.

>>150944951
>have you really never felt like an anime ruined a joke by being overly redundant?
yes but that doesn't mean the absence of it makes a joke good

these comics are barely jokes, i just read the one where the dad gets drunk and they go on a killing spree and burn some religious dudes alive. it's not even a joke it's just absurdist stuff that's violent for the sake of violence

you say 'everyday insanity' but it's just psychopath stuff. most of the comics i'm reading follow the same format of taking something that is inoffensive or hindered in some way and brutalizing it or torturing it to the amusement of the protagonists. they expect me to laugh at that but my only reaction is 'what the fuck is wrong with them'

the OVA had it right all along, this stuff is just hedonistic sadism

>>150944951
Kaiba's characters are too stylized for her being a girl mattering in any way, even Vanilla is "cute". The story was equally sad, maybe even more so from her aunt's perspective.

If you are going to retread old ground at least do another Taiyou Matsumoto manga intead of adapting another garbage novel from this hack author.

Reading the novels after watching the anime just ruined everything because of just how bad they are. He had to give life to one dimensional souless characters. I'd rather he had good material to begin with.

>>150945407
And now that sunny is completed, it really deserves an adaption. It's definitely now his magnum opus.

I hate when people make this comparison most of the time for anything cutesy with sex and/or gore but I see it as KIND OF like early South Park's "actually, kids are awful" stuff minus the dated current events element. the simple minimalist family gag manga art also adds to how funny it is, like how Nyako is basically a cat Maruko-chan right down to being the author's self insert. only instead of being a feel good childhood memories thing it's about how severely fucked up Nekojiru was as a kid and still is.

I think that's part of why it's great. it's not like early Johnny the Homicidal Maniac where it was some "look how cool I am killing everyone I hate!" teen angst thing but a lot of the humor comes from the author realizing she's a fucked up broken human & poking fun at it.

and the idea of harnessing your crippling mental illness for comedy reminds me of this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bAOmEo9ADI

I almost want to get the Youtube autist that gets hugely emotional & moralistic over Spongebob's modern writers not treating Squidward fairly along with being confused by King of the Hill's moral shades of grey & thinking the show is evil & bad for it to watch Nekojiru Gekijou and become traumatized & suicidal over it

>>150945549
most of the positives you described apply much better to the one-page vignettes i pointed at earlier

i don't really feel from the panels detailing how the cats torture and kill shit with pokerfaces that the author is somehow self-awarely poking fun at her mentality, i only feel that she's drawing what she likes (i.e. killing things). it's not even about things she hates, it's anything weak enough to be abused (because for sure nekojiru couldn't really throw shit at anyone who talked back)

the art's cool though. only reason i read any of it

>>150945605
You should stick to cyanide. Seriously, off yourself.

>>150945616
Not really.

Here's why Yuasa threads always suck.

>yuasa creates an anime that is artful and sometimes avant-garde
>anons think this makes it a good show
>other anons (who are contrarians) hate it because they see other anons liking it
>everyone soon becomes retarded as a result
>trolls start to troll trolls
Fuck all of you and Tatami Galaxy was great.

>>150945618
I think it's what Trey & Matt even said though? That it was fueled by the idea that there is no such thing as 'childhood purity', that kids are born selfish and shitty and they maybe become decent over time. Back then Stan & Kyle were huge assholes too, consistently.

>>150945616
You're fucking garbage

>>150940473
Ping Pong is his best work by far

>>150945797
>yuasa creates an anime that is artful and sometimes avant-garde
I hate it when people say that though. Mind Game is good because it's a well made fun cartoon with creative visuals and an honest & well delivered moral behind it.

I'd be fine with nerds using "artsy" to describe their shit if it wasn't a code word for stuff like "it has elements that I think can appeal to the modern art world and give this work validity in the eyes of non fans" or "it looks like an old painting".

"Avant-garde" is an inherently faggot word though and I cringed hard when some guy at Garo described Nekojiru using that word.
>>150945766
Read up on her, like the article on Anipages. Some of the things Nyako & Nyatta do are directly based on stuff she does in real life, like being rude over food.

>>150946147
are you sure you're thinking about his efforts at adapting vs. elements that were already there in the manga? because I think his other works are more impressive in terms of execution.

I mean Ping Pong is good but yeah/

>>150946255
Honestly, I thought the manga was pretty shitty in-comparison to the anime. He really developed the characters better imo

>>150946255
>are you sure you're thinking about his efforts at adapting vs. elements that were already there in the manga?
both

>>150946305
the manga is way better by virtue of having more epic matches

tm's panneling is some real stuff, meanwhile the anime is just kinda there even when they put miyazawa to do some cool stuff

>>150940203
More of the same of this pretentious garbage? Fantastic.

Oh look, more pretentious crap.

>>150946378
someone will call you a fag probably because "Ping Pong was NOT about cool sports at all!!" (it actually was in part lol)

Is it really bad that Yuasa made it a more character-based coming of age story, than a straight up sports anime?

I don't think so. I think that element is the reason it's considered an exceptional 'sports' anime.

>>150946513
the manga is exactly that i don't know where you're getting the idea that the anime is massively different

>>150946513
the matches were still obviously meant to be cool in the anime though and I get his idea that they weren't as good at using the animated medium as the manga was at using the sequential art medium.

you posted a Dezaki anime cap, right? well his Ashita no Joe adaptation I think was a good example of a show that has far more to say than 'this sport is cool' yet still makes the combat exciting as fuck despite having a tiny budget. it based its entire aesthetic around being cheap as fuck

meanwhile I feel some of the stuff in Ping Pong would have worked better with more frames but it couldn't afford it because it was made extremely fast and Yuasa didn't even sleep.

Yeah, this was the biggest thing I saw with tatami galaxy. It is fun if you like the style, but a person who doesn't could easily get turned off and quit watching before the fantastic conclusion, and the conclusion wouldn't even have had that much impact either.

>>150946991
>attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.
It tries to be artsy and deep while actually just being ugly while rehashing the same theme Welcome to the NHK did better. It also attempts to impress by being not shit when it is, in fact, shit.

that's not my point, I'm talking about the people that misunderstand Yuasa as trying to be "avant garde" and other dumb terms when he just wants to make simple relatable stories but with creative visuals

I'm not even projecting, he actually said that in the Kick Heart Kickstarter video. they're just simple stories that the everyman can associate with but visually fun.

Okay, as someone who read the book a few months ago, it's time to clear this shit up.

Firstly 夜は短し歩けよ乙女 is NOT a prequel to Tatami Galaxy. In Tatami Galaxy the MC fucks around with Ozu and doesn't really do anything for most of the part. In this the MC is much more proactive in getting the girl and doesn't just wait for her to fall into his lap like Watashi kind of did.

Secondly the reason why they seem so similar is because both novels are written by Tomihiko Morimi. All of his books, without exception, take place in Kyoto because he has a huge Kyoto boner the same way Watari Wataru has a Chiba boner. Also a lot of his books have the main character in university as those were probably the defining years of his life. Off the top of my head 太陽の塔 (Tower of the Sun), Tatami Galaxy and this.

Finally this anime is not going to be pretentious in the slightest. All of Morimi's works strike a balance between fantasy and reality. In Tower of the Sun, it's 30:70 fantasy to reality. It's a very raw work which doesn't have a very well defined plot (which makes sense because it's was his first book) but the rants and thoughts by the main character are extremely poignant. Obviously a lot of people don't like having Morimi's opinions shoved down their throat, which leads us to 夜は短し歩けよ乙女. It's by far Morimi's most accessible novel because it takes out all the moping and depression and ramps up the fantasy and humour (there's a part where the MC learns to fly by "not having his feet firmly planted on the ground"). Even on the Japanese internet most of them consider it to be his best novel by virtue of its humourous nature without any overbearing themes or real-world issues that his other works might have had.

So we can expect the anime to have:

1. A lot of humour
2. More fantasy
3. The supreme Morimi waifu
4. More accessibility to plebs

Also "The Night is Brief, Go Forth Young Woman" sounds fucking retarded, anyone with a knack for poetry want to take a crack at it?

not sure why it compels people to act pretentious about liking him but maybe it's because he hasn't made films for decades so people still feel special for appreciating his work

>>150958572
Where are people acting pretentious about liking him? Literally every single time he's mentioned people shitpost he's pretentious.
Are you one of those people or something?

>>150947101
I think this has more to do with some individual episodes just being weak. In this sort of story, to keep interest on a week-to-week basis, each of the episodes needs to be a strong standalone. It keeps viewer interest and produces are much bigger pay-off in the end, if people had trouble finding interest in some episodes they could have very easily lost interest in the entire series.

>>150941543
I actually really like Mind Game for what it is. Couldn't get any of my anime-watching friends to sit through more than the first 20 minutes though, even though they generally have reasonably decent taste.
