Olympics Ambassadors

How so, stranger?

Where's Dio?

It's good if we take out the mahoes, yokaishit, naruto and luffy.

>Maho Precure
>probably the weakest Precure show in years

what the fuck were they thinking
Original Precure, current Precure (at the time of the Olympics) or bust.

Also that thing instead of Pikachu. No Mario. What the fuck? They even had Mario at the handover in Rio.

>>152862401
It's not the full roster, like hell they'd leave out Hello Kitty, Mario, and Doraemon after they were in the Rio promo.

>>152862401

Nintendo hate King K. Rool I guess they are just butthurt at Rare and the fack that every other DK antagonist nintendo made to replace K. Rool is shit.

>>152867739
It could have flown in on the western normie wave since its a well known character from a well known franchise. Especially after GO, even if it died down hard

>>152867739
IIRC, Mario, Pikachu, Doraemon and Captain Tsubasa are going to be "hosts" of the olympics, which is more important than being "ambassadors"

those weren't chosen for taste, but for popularity and marketable

>>152875431

I would argue there's a lot of popular characters who didn't get picked. It seems more likely that they were picked based on the companies that own them.

It's been a cheap knockoff of pokemon from start to finish.

hope that means Maho gets a sequel in 2020.

inb4 'ITS SHIT' for all we know it can be good this time.

but yeah, if they were gonna add the cures in there, they should have went with Futari Wa, Nagisa is into sports after all.

So are there any other characters popular enough to be an ambassador?

Aside from whatever Precures are going to be in 2020, Ranma? Kirito? Araragi-san?

This is as much an example of shit taste as sheer apathy. It's clear whoever came up with these ambassadors don't care. At all.

There are Japanese anime characters who are:
1. Actually supposed to be athletes in their series
2. More popular (Slam Dunk got a whole generation of boys in Japan, Korea, China, and Hong Kong into playing basketball. Captain Tsubasa is the inspiration for actual professional football players. Ashita no Joe - enough said)
3. And actually fucking aligned with the Olympic spirit

I honestly want the author of Ippo to have a whole arc where someone (probably Miyata) goes to the Tokyo Olympics. Then gets destroyed because of the stupid Olympic scoring system. And points out how rigged and stupid Olympic boxing is.

>>152876782
It completely baffles me how they can be failures on so many levels.

We're talking about professional people who get paid to come up with the idea, who actually had to negotiate with the owners for use of intellectual properties, and professionals working on the Japanese Olympic who green-lighted these. Let's do a roll-call

>>A mascot in a poor man's pokemon story
>>A 5-yr old trouble-maker in a satirical series about 90's Japanese nuclear family
>>A robot
>>An alien
>>Three teenage girls given super powers by magic
>>A teenage boy given super powers by eating a fruit
>>A teenage boy given super power by being a Japanese ninja

Seriously. Would you seriously look at any of these characters and actually get reminded of "Sportsmanship"?

>>152877118
>>152876782

There's always the possibility that there are far more characters that will be used during the actual Olympics. If they don't have a little mascot of Yawara during Judo or the like, it will be a major oversight. Not just because of the Olympic committee but because the owners of those characters would get worldwide marketing. Imagine a 30 year old manga suddenly selling millions of copies just because it was shown at the Olympics.

Just put Doraemon and Shin Chan together and that'll be perfect.

You sperglords realize this is a marketing ploy, right? No fucking shit they're going to use their most popular characters to promote their events.

>>152877564
Japan is a surprisingly corrupt place. Notice how all of those characters are owned by only one of two companies.

>>152877842

The point people are making is they aren't using their most popular characters. The Precure girls and the Yokai Watch cat are fucking who's compared to hundreds of other characters. Many of which have been named in this thread.

But you're right it is for marketing purposes.

Outside of Luffy and Naruto, it looks fine.

Other than Yokai Watch being there instead of pokemon, looks like a reasonable group. If you expected some late night anime to be there you're a retard.

>>152862401
Naruto, DBZ and OP are really the only ones that deserve to be there.

Nah, this is the mascot Japan needs. Every man in the world could get behind this and every SJW would get triggered to the point of a mass frenzy of free media.

Boobs are quite sensitive, that'd hurt.

why does precure get two representatives?

Precure is known world wide? Astroboy as well? I'd argue Guts is more recognized than those.

>>152862401
why those precures though?
there are far better and more iconic magical girls even from the same franchise.

>>152885164

It probably did. PE takes no prisoners.

>>152884287
Well, Japan's resisted for the past few decades. Hopefully they'll keep it up.

Hundreds of series are more well known. These are probably just a small amount of the characters and series which will be used in the Olympics. We already know guys like Mario and Tsubasa are in as well, but not on that image. And there are tons of obvious characters who are left out.

>>152885369
Because Mario,Doraemon,Pacman and Hello Kitty are above being ambassadors.
Tsubasa is probably a nod to Latin America and EU football fans.

Where is my Kinnikuman reboot anyway?

>>152885475

>Tsubasa is probably a nod to Latin America and EU football fans.
Or just the most obvious rep for Football in general. They should be plastering Tsubasa on every football match and splash screen.

>mfw I live in America and they'll probably block as many anime references as they can on NBC

Slow down with all those implications.

What the fuck is Shinchan doing there?
I can understand the others since they have some degree of "effort and hard work" shit.
But what the fuck is Shinchan doing there?

Shinchan has been an ongoing show for like 40 years. Its like putting Bart Simpson up there. Sure the show sucks now, but its just lasted so long and still has so many fans that you have to acknowledge it.

>>152886364
I know Shinchan's popular, but this is the fucking Olympics.

Shinchan's schtick is he's a perverted 5 year old who shows his dick and butt to cute girls. It's dick jokes and poop jokes incarnate. Nothing sportsmanshiplike about Shinchan at all.

Hell, you can put fucking K-on as Plympic mascots and it would still be more inline with Olympic spirits or whtever than Shinchan.

Are they going to make the male athletes do the elephamt dance or something?

I really fucking hope that somehow, the nips are able to get a life size model of RX-78-2 moving for the opening ceremony.

He's right though, you wouldn't see Bart Simpson representing american olympics either, even if he has been around for a long time. Might as well use Cartman.

If you thought they were going to turn moeblobs and fapbait into ambassadors then know this, you've never been more wrong about something in your entire life.

as for those complaining about gundam or pikachu not being there

-Gundam is not as popular or iconic as any of the selected ambassadors.

-Pikachu is vidya, the ambassadors are all about anime and again, most people outside of japan have watched more anime than they've ever played videogames.

>>152862401
Where's lupin?where's jojo?

>>152887429
>lupin
nobody (a very large ammount of the population of the earth) outside of japan knows who he is

>Jojo
only popular because of memes

>>152887462
Lupin is popular as fuck in italy.

>>152886767

Shin-chan is a family friendly show.

Your description is very basic and wrong.

>>152887522
only there?
remember, this is the olympics, this concerns EVERYONE, not just italy.

>>152887522
Italy is irrelevant

>>152862401
If i know this Pokemon is much bigger franchise than all this barring OP for god sake so how the hell Pokemon is not there?!

>>152887701
Because Yokai Watch is 100 times more Nipponese

>>152887376
>most people outside of japan have watched more anime than they've ever played videogames.
Complete bullshit, vidya industry outgrosses even Hollywood by a large amount.

>>152887742
Who care's even its overrated Pikachu is the 2nd famous icon of all time second only to Micky Rat.

>>152887811
You've missed the point anon, Pikachu is actually one of the Hosts for the olympics, not an ambassador, just like Mario.

Ambassadors are characters known worldwide but not as popular or iconic as the Hosts, although i dont ser why Goku, Naruto and Luffy are ambassadors of all characters, they fit the criteria for Hosts dont they?

>>152862401
Where is Doraemon?
Where is Pikachu?
Where is Mario?
Where is Mitsuha?

>>152887949
Nope Pokemon and Mario is league above of Dragon Ball,Naruto or even One piece but i think their position is okay the only thing i don't like is how YW and PreCure(Maho of all things) are there.

>>152887974
The first three are Hosts not Ambassadors

Hosts > Ambassadors

The only good thing i the thread is the amount of triggered gundamfags.

>>152862401
>no Doraemon
what the fuck

>>152862401
looks good to me

>>152888353
who?

>No Saint Seiya

It's like a big fuck you to all the spics and hues

I decided to invest my spare time in getting better at drawing instead of learning Japanese.
I hope the opening ceremony is embarrassingly kawaii or something so I feel better about not associating myself with Japan.
