I can't fuckin wait, it's been too long since an Ikuhara anime with /a/.

Ikuhara is only good if there's a strong willed producer/assistant that can stop him from going full 2deep4you

Utena is the best TV anime of all time and YKA, for all its faults, was still the best show of 2015 so suck it.

He didn't say that about homos he said:
>In reality, if I have a guy in the show, the love relationship gets to have a bigger role than the show. And that would be an interesting element, but I wouldn't want that to make that the scene-stealer of the show. Most other shoujo shows are in that direction. It's about who-and-who are getting together, or who-and-who are breaking up. I thought it would be a loss if that would be the big motif just because a girl was the main character. I think there could be more shows with other motives than that.

Ikuni is like George Lucas in this regard.
He's amazing at coming down with ideas and overall creativity, but he's better off letting others turn his vision into reality, or at least, have several other people that can constrain him.

Both MPD and YKA were okay, but nowhere near the level of Utena.

YKA was pretty unremarkable, hopefully Ikuhara does better with Mappa. At the very least the studio should be able to attract better talent so his new project might have some inspired art and animation.

>>161145699

I'd be nice if he did a Chiho Saito adaption. I wonder if he'd ever consider an adaption instead of original though.

He is awoken

So this is what MAPPA does with their fujomoney. I have no complaints. But hopefully Ikuni gets a good writer to craft something polished and solid from his inspirations. YKA was still fun, but no Utena.

>>161149101
I've had some fun with Chiho Saito manga, but if he has to adapt something I want better source material.

Utena is his magnum opus but Penguindrum is almost as good, and the visuals are even more to my taste. I can't fathom the sort of plebs who didn't enjoy it.

>>Implying Pengindrum isn't Ikuhara magnum opus.
That was Utena Movie.

Utena TV was a bit to boring at parts but then it's expected from so many repeated scenes in over 30 episodes series. Also Saito meddling to make it anti-yuri to not show any on-screen kisses between Utena and Anthy didn't help it either.

But then 2nd part of PM was just meh, especially of what became of some characters in it I didn't like at all, likte that yuri girl ending with male Sensei cause they liked the same girl bullshit reasoning.

Many Ihuhara projects suffer of too deep symbolism where it's clear even the author doesn't know what it should represent what and what that meant.

I hope for male gay MC in this project who gets to be seduced by girls but remain strong in love with a older brown guy with pink haur cause that's something he didn't do yet.
And then can thrown in a side lesbian who will be his older or younger sister. And a slutty milf mother.

if you didn't like Yuri Kuma Arashi read Deleuze until you do

>>161149983
>That was Utena Movie
This is the ultimate stupid opinion. Utena movie is only worth it for the visuals and seeing the stuff that Ikuhara couldn't put in the TV show. It's literally the dumbed down version of Utena.

Oh boy can't wait for another series where roastie schoolgirls cream themselves from seeing a rich psycho pretty boy, make fun of nerds and renounce monogamy and traditional values just to be in his harem

>>161150040
>It's literally the dumbed down version of Utena.

>>161150054

>>161150064
I dunno man. Dumbed down is the perfect way to describe it with how it shits all over Shiori and Akio's characters. I mean they made Utena become the literal vehicle for Anthy's escape in the end. You can't dumb down a metaphor more than that.

>>161150115
Wasn't the movie just made for fan wish fulfilment though? The entire naked lesbian kiss shit was only for the yuriheads.

>>161150054
>make fun of nerds

Iki's series are characterized by the girls being receptive to nerds and betas though.

I hope it's 24 episodes.
I know it will never happen but I have always hoped for Ikuhara to do a Murakami adaptation, maybe 1Q84.

>>161150180
>Murakami
No thanks. I'd rather have him adapt some Kenji Miyazawa, Mishima or Dazai before that hack.

>>161150160
It's more like a way for Ikuhara to do the romance stuff he couldn't do in the TV series and to go nuts with a movie level budget. So yeah just a shallower accompaniment to the TV series.

>>161150257
I feel like romance wasn't the main goal of Utena at all though.

>>161150268
You're right but there was clearly supposed to be a romance between Utena and Anthy.
It's no secret that it was toned down in the show and it's really obvious when you compare the on screen innocence between Utena and Anthy compared to basically every other relationship in the show.

>>161148364
Ikuhara is a fantastic director and a meh writer
Lucas isn't really good at anything

>>161150180
>maybe 1Q84

I could totally see that working. It feels like it was made to be turned into an anime and Ikkurara would be the best to direct it.

>>161150160
>Wasn't the movie just made for fan wish fulfilment though?
No, it was made for Ikuhara own wish fulfillment he was denied to add in the actual TV series due to Saito objections.

Utena TV series should have Utena x Anthy kiss in it in the open, but Saito didn't want that cause it would make their relationship openly romantic which would go against her own manga take where the girls are completely straight, so in a way it points that Saito had bigger influence over the TV show than Ikuhara.

In the movie they cut her out completely and so Ikuhara could show in it the kiss and then the nude scene and the lesbian car.

Personally i don't think Ikuhara is a yuri fan at all seeing what he done to yuri character in PenguimDrum. Even YKA was just kinda bad and infantile on the yuri front where it basically played on the Class S system with fake lesbianism towards the bears sexual one.

>>161150324
I don't think it was toned down at all. I think it was meant to be quite obscured. Similar to Anthy's entire character for a majority of the show.

>>161150361
YKA is from a yuri manga. Penguimdrum is original?

>>161150394
No, YKA yuri manga is adaptation of anime and is much better than it.

>>161150364
This is the same show with loads of obvious metaphorical sex and openly gay characters. When Anthy was seducing people it was always made clear for us even if it was shrouded in her usual mystery. Her relationship with Utena is unique in its pure schoolgirl romance bullshit.

What did he mean by this?

>>161150623
How that panders to lesbians seeing Utena fucked by a brown guy and not with her brown waifu? And other lesbian gets cucked by her crush doing it with a guy and in the manga version pretty much there's no lesbians at all cause Saito thinks they don't exist. Only Utena version pandering to lesbians and yuri fans is the Movie version.
Manga panders to typical straight shoujo fans, anime panders tries to pander to everyone but it has strong shoujo vibes in it like utena falling for the bad boy of the series.

Literally not relevant to the TV series at all. A completely different retelling of the main (best) story.

>>161150833
I think he just likes any sort of relationship that doesn't involve male x female
see >>161145491

I don't think he's that interested in a romance heavy plot in the first palce.

I think people forget many times about Ikuhara commentary after anime ended that Anthy and Utena relationship in it was of romantic and sexual nature, but he wasn't allowed to show it fully, mostly due to Saito influence. And only in movie he had full creative control where he could show it.

Also it were the 90s, nowadays Ikuhara could make Utena remake where in every episode Utena would fuck with different girl and guy from academy creating her harem by cucking them from Akio where in the final episode she would marry Anthy.

Times changed.

>>161150925
>>161150927
Probably 2019

>>161150927
If they're recruiting animatiors, the planning is already done.
A year or so I'd say.

>>161150938
I can't understand this post, I swear it looks like English but it's fucking incomprehensible.

Anyone has any knowledge how well Utena TV, movie version, PenguinDrum and YKA sold in their respected years?

>>161150938
>wasn't allowed to show it
So anon is right.
It's a good thing too.

>>161150938
I think Ikuhara is still pretty unique in having serious and explicit gay relationships. Most of what we call yuri today is still just subtext bullshit where even if the two characters are fucking on screen they still won't come out and say that they're a couple.

>>161150978

Literally every other character was better than that incestuous brat. I wish he'd been consumed by his previous angel persona early on and continued the story that way instead.

He's well liked and only emerges from the void every couple of years to plop out some weird new project. He also makes anime on a shoestring budget.

They should at least slow down a bit what the hell.

Meh, MAPPA has too many projects right now. Hope Iku doesn't crash and burn.

>>161152415
>>161153718
The penguin-bear project was supposed to be about the launching of the Penguindrum manga and also for YKA. This was about 3 years before YKA even aired, so the earliest we'll hope to see the MAPPA anime is probably end of 2019.

Indeed

Look at freakin' SILVER LINK for example compared to all their other works

Is Ikuhara a homosexual?

>>161154642
Ikuhara has transcended beyond those primitive lines.

>>161154150
My concern is more about their capacity to properly fulfill Ikuhara's ideas

>>161154888
It's not like Ikuhara hasn't made good use of limited resources before. We're talking about the same guy who worked relying on stills and stock footage into his style.

I say this as someone who knows Japanese and can follow the series as a whole with awareness of how its themes and characters are developed while being paralleled with elements of Hindu philosophy.

Sailor Moon represents Ikuhara's best work. It is because of its honestly and directness of emotion that Sailor Moon it superior to his subsequent works, regardless of the greatness of their ambition, which I respect. Sailor Moon, despite the commercial constraints its creators were forced under, still possesses genuine philosophical sophistication and is able to express this in its writing and presentation, even if it isn't able to explore the esoteric reaches that Utena reaches out to.

Was Yuri Kuma any good in the end?

>>161156847
It was legitimately bad. I guess even Ikuhara is capable of making a turd.

>>161157129

Yes. Hell, it's far more important in hindsight nowadays than 2 years ago

>>161152317

So basically it's a story about a girl who was raped at the age of 14 which destroyed her emotionally, from that momemnt she became cold fish, but due to wanting to be close with an older female like her dead mother, she goes and form relation with a woman, all the time messaging a guy who is in love with her about what she is doing, after some time of dealing with herself she comes around and is ready to be straight properly with the male MC.

It's LN tier of writing on wish fulfillment of the male MC K, that if a guy wants a girl the girl always needs to turn around for him in the end.

/a/ would love it, and /u/ would hate it.

Also Isayama did similiar motive in Penguin Drum with Yuri character.

>>161162073
It's not just about having action, they don't seem likely to pick up anything as esoteric as what Ikuhara makes.

>>161161699
Yes, I was talking about Rakugo. I'd never have guessed that it was a Deen anime.
