Give me the down low on LeSean Thomas.
Why are his cartoons getting so much hype? Is a black dude joining forces with the people behind OPM and Evangelion good for /co/ or bad?

What?
>>91714852
Yeah I think it's a question directed towards white supremacist not sure...

>Yesterday at New York Comic Con, during their industry panel, Crunchyroll announced a new collaboration with creator LeSean Thomas (Cannon Busters): Children of Ether. The project boasts an impressive staff, including character designer Hiroshi Shimizu (Michiko & Hatchin), storyboard director Shingo Natsume (One Punch Man), animation director Yƻichi Takahashi (Gatchaman Crowds Insight) and animator Mitsuo Iso (Neon Genesis Evangelion). Thomas himself is directing the project.
>Animation for Children of Ether is being produced by Yapiko Animation, which will also feature an original music soundtrack composed and performed by Mr Hudson. U.S. comic artist Ronald Wimberly contributed to the early concept designs.
>>91714880
Just being inflammatory to generate discussion don't mind me.
>>91714892
He worked on the Boondocks amongst other stuff:
>His recent, notable projects include the TV series, Black Dynamite, Legend of Korra for Nickelodeon Animation, Aaron McGruder's The Boondocks for Sony Pictures Television, Cannon Busters, and the upcoming Children of Ether for Crunchyroll.
There were huge threads here when Cannon Busters' first ep got released.Tfw still haven't seen it because a mega never got posted ;-;
>Children of Ether follows Rhonda, a woman with a dark past and a mysterious power, as she is pursued by an unknown assailant after the death of her father. Aided only by her wits and a pair of orphans, Rhonda journeys through a decaying, dystopian metropolis populated by raiders, gangs, and the supernatural. As she struggles to survive in this harsh urban tangle, she meets both friends and enemies, and searches for answers about this power, "The Ether", awakening within her.
I'm a little hype to be honest
Also that fuckin cat thing from Nausicaa lmao
>>91714910
>>91714924
This looks amazing.
>bad guys are white
>good people are everything but specifically white adult males
>>91714924
>>91714910
I can only reach eh levels of hype
Everyone mentioned has done great stuff on top tier shows but none of them, including LeSean Thomas, have been the creative head of anything I've seen or read. It will probably be very pretty and well paced and possibly well voice acted, but I really have no idea what I should be expecting.
>>91715007
Eat a dick.
>>91714924
>a dark past
>>91714826
Hoping for good things, but we'll wait and see.
>>91714910
>Legend of Korra
His opinion is irrelevant.
>>91716537
what if he was invovled in the good things in Korra?
Yes I know I'm setting myself up with this question.
>>91716537
You are teared and act like a child that has no idea on how a product that is made in a team is actually conceived.
>>91714826
> Is a black dude joining forces with the people behind OPM and Evangelion good for /co/ or bad?
It's not even out yet, so it's neither.
What I need to know is when is McGruder doing Black Jesus S3
>>91716742
I have already given up.
>>91714910
>There were huge threads here when Cannon Busters' first ep got released.
What episode? I don't think that was anything but the kickstarter threads.
>>91714826
Lesean Is one of the hardest workers in animation and he's practically a prodigy. He can draw dynamic action without even trying. Why is this such a problem for you?
>>91714924
That hat and furry animal were lifted straight from Nausicaa. Holy shit.
>>91714910
>>91714924
Could be good, not gonna lie.
>>91714910
While Itsuo is one of the more famous animators on Evangelion, calling him "one of the people behind the show" is a bit misleading.
>>91718427
It looks more like a chihuahua, while nausica is cuter than an eevee
>>91714826
>Give me the down low on LeSean Thomas
He's a really, REALLY bad artist.
>>91719129
>Casey goes flying, his golf bag strap is over his right shoulder
>Casey lands, his golf bag strap is over his left shoulder
But that doesn't matter! Lesean has STYLE!
>>91714826
>LeSean Thomas.
I don't know who that is.
>Is a black dude joining forces with the people behind OPM and Evangelion good for /co/ or bad?
Seriously, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>91719173

Naw nigga, I don't need nunna dat! I gots STYLE!

This is racist.
If a white man had drawn these pages, you wouldn't be criticizing them.
>>91719208
That artwork is OBJECTIVELY trash.
Lesean cannot draw for shit.
>>91719115
>>91719129

>>91719173
I've seen far worse.
>>91720176
Yes he can.
>>91720389
Also that TMNT comic is from fucking 2002
>>91720213
>I've seen worse art so therefor this art is not bad
Naw bro it's shit.
>>91714880
no one made a racial claim until you make your faggot post.
Are you a Leaf?
>>91720809
>no one made a racial claim
But then >>91719208
Get woke.
>>91714826
What does a black guy working on anime have to do with /co/
>>91718299
Yeah, the episode was apparently released mid 2016 or thereabouts.
So far, no one's uploaded it anywhere (be it legally or through MEGA) for all the non-backers to see. Which sucks, because I'm legit curious as to how it is.
>>91714924
SHARINGAN!!!

>Michiko and Hatchin

>Gatchaman Crowds Insight

What the fuck is with this team of A-listers?
>>91716742
You can't do Black Jesus without Charlie Murphy.
You just can't...
An American creator is producing a show with Japanese creators through a French studio... I don't see this working very well.
>>91719115
>>91719160
>>91719173
Holy shit is this a YLYL thread? Because I just loss.
Goddamn this guy can't draw.
>>91722285
Oban Star Racers was kinda the same thing wasn't it?
>>91722285
thats because you're a brainwashed amrican
>>91722474
I'm not American.
>>91722366
Why did you go through the trouble of linking all those posts, but ignored additional information just a couple of posts down?

>wah wah LeSean is a bad artist, here's proof
>post his shit from FIFTEEN fucking years ago
if you want to shit on him and be relevant, post his recent shit
>>91714826
He survived and flourished as an production animator in South Korea. At least you know he has work ethic.
>>91722508
I only read posts with pictures.
Which is why I read yours.
Good work!
>>91715339
If you can't tee the obvious agenda, you're blind as fuck.
>>91715007
Lesean has always had a chip on his shoulder about white people.
Read some of his interviews. Dude straight up loathes whitey.
>>91722161
Vic was my favourite character dammit
>>91719160
>eyes looking in two different directions
wtf that nigga part frog or some shit?
>>91725617
Newsflash, but most black people hate whites.
Lesean isn't some outlier.
>>91725792
Why americans think that every race of the world act like their own racial stereotypes?
>>91714910
>>91714924
mite b cool
>>91725573
Do you feel that way about media featuring white heroes fighting against non-white enemies?
>>91728151
Because the American Media is based around representing every race on their stereotypes
>>91725792
t. Guy who's never left his basement
>>91725617
Which one? All I found was one where he blamed the media for pushing stereotypes, but nothing about white people as a whole.
>>91725792
>Newsflash, but most black people hate whites.
And we don't have a damn good reason?
>>91716742
>What I need to know is when is McGruder doing Black Jesus S3
Charlie Murphy is dead.
>>91714826
Lesean is really cool, I liked what he contributed to the boondocks and black dynamite, and when I met him in person, he was nice as fuck(and also cute, but thats irrelevant)
>>91728918
>And we don't have a damn good reason?
We got 200+ years worth of reasons to be hostile as fuck toward white folk and if you need me to cite my sources how but you crack open any text book on us history any of them go right ahead I'll wait
>>91729108
Black though you may be, that's no excuse for having such a poor grasp of punctuation, sir.
