Is Asano really a hack, /a/? Why do the Japs hate him?
>>151224264
I love him, but I'm no weeb
>>151224264
>Why do the Japs hate him?
Really?
>>151224264
Bonus points. He thinks he's trans.
>>151224983
I mean, they love Tatsuhiko Takimoto. Granted, Asano doesn't delve into self-deprecation that much, and has more "dignity' than TatsuTaki, but their works are in the same park.
>>151225520
That was a joke, anon.
>>151225575
What makes you think they don't like Asano? Solanin was popular enough to get a movie.
>>151224264
>why do the Japs hate him?
Any substance to that claim? Maybe you meant more of "why do i hate him".
>>151225520
No western anime "journalists" can't translator for shit is all.
>>151224264
His representation of depression in punpun was pretty shit and more like near psychosis than anything.
>>151225976
Psychotic depression is a thing. Not uncommon in severe cases
>>151224264
>Why do the Japs hate him
They don't, but they did hate Punpun while it was ongoing. The more depressing it got, the more the sales would decline.
>>151225520
Kill yourself.
>People make up random shit about Inio Asano
Oh dear, this thread again. I dont know what made you hate Punpun but it was decent. You don't need to false flag here.
He's well respected.
Here PROOF:

I'm aware. It just came off as overdone and even out of place for me and I didn't like it at all.

>Editor: So anyway, what do you do when you encounter negative comments during your vanity searches, Shinzo?
>Shinzo: I don’t encounter any. It’s actually troubling, somehow. Asano gets some doozies though.
>Asano: Yeah, they tell me to go die.
>Shinzo: Any manga that sells is going to have its critics.
>Matsumoto: Why do they tell you to die?
>Asano: Apparently they don’t like me. I’m used to it now.
>Matsumoto: That’s a hell of a thing to be able to get used to.
>Maybe you meant more of "why do i hate him"
But I like his stuff, silly anon; Punpun, NH, DDD, and A Girl on the Shore are great.Fuck Solanin, though.

Learn to read

>>151226094
Well, he'll probably get less hate with his new manga.
>>151226626
Shinzo's stuff also sells but it doesn't get any "doozies"; Matsumoto is also somewhat surprised (although he doesn't even use the Internet.) So, learn to read.
In all honesty though, the Japs were probably just butthurt because of Punpun's ending.
>>151226428
>>151226853
That interview shows that there are contrarian edgy hipster faggots in Japan as elsewhere in the world. They probably talk shit and still read all of Inio's stuff if they're that invested.
It does not prove anything.
>>151224264
Because Japs have shit taste.
>>151224264
He's kind of a hack alright, but his overdone whiny pseudo-psychological pseudo-philosophical pseud- nonsensical narrative is the main reason for the hate. Not that it's very vocal though.
>>151224264
Dunno what Japan really likes but can tell Punpun was very disliked by later half of the story.
