For satire, or at least good satire, there has to be a point and a deconstruction of said point in a way that sheds new light and a perspective on something in a transformative way.

We already know how bad the Smiths can get with their shilling and this show doesn't do or say anything new about anime. Or even remotely criticizes it in any way.

I like to think this is a joke that everyone is playing on Jaden Smith and he was so excited that they just don't have the heart to tell him.

Either that or his big poppa Will got wind and then they had to suddenly make it a real thing.

Or maybe Ezra Koenig has had a nervous breakdown because all his Vampire Weekend bandmates are releasing successful solo efforts/side projects.

I don't see why everyone is so up in arms it seems fun and a bit of a parody of the Moe anime of the 90s a lot of us grew up with. Is it gonna be the best or most ground breaking? No. But it'll be fun and genuine but never taking itself too seriously which is nice.

So it's seems like a moe anime wrapped in a satire for Bourgeois youth of NYC. It has the same themes of melancholy and apathy that a lot of us grew up with. It's like sailor if sailor moon if yusagi was a 18 year old rich boy finding himself. It seems fun and light hearted; it's a niche program for sure but it's gonna find it's fans don't worry. I don't see why everyone's up in arms, it's not meant to be deep, serious or high art it's just a fun time a call back to a lot of the 4kidz tv many people grew up with.

Think The Royal Tenenbaums animated. It also has Wes Anderson

Satire needs to have a clear target, it needs to satirize something. Even with crappy satire like Family Guy or South Park you can AT LEAST tell what they're trying to mock.

Here, what are they even mocking here? You can't say 'satire' as a defense if you don't specify what is being satirized.

>>95339324

A "parody" or a "satire" does not get a pass on "being good". And this "parody" looks like shit, no matter how "genuine" it is. Go ahead and toss out some other buzzword adjective, though - see how that works out for you.

>>95339885
To you.
Genuinely what's wrong with it. Just say it's not in your demo and get over yourself

As someone who grew up watching 4kids TV, shows like Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball etc. As someone who's on goes to NYC and are around the type of people who would say someone like "She's possessed; that sucks" it looks fine and like a good time.

It looks good becuase it looks like a Moe anime but with characters I'm around everyday. It's simple and sweet like most moe anime's and will be catered to other 20 something hipsters like myself. It's making fun at the bourgeois lifestyle and special kind of melancholy that comes with it.
>It if don't like Wes Anderson films and Sailor Moon then this show is not for you. Plain and simple

Not every show has to be Young Justice levels of depth and character development to be good. This is tongue and cheek and not up it's own ass. It's fine and seems like a good niche program.

I get why most people will think it's bad but I think it not taking itself too seriously is a very good reason to be excited for a show

>>95339983

THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT "GOOD" BY DEFAULT. The trailer shows no real central premise and the art looks like shit. The writing better be really, really, really, really, really motherfucking good if the show wants to succeed because I have heard nothing but mockery for this shitpile since the trailer dropped.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. The execution is what matters. Right now, this shit looks like everyone involved with it should be executed.

No central premise?
Are you dense?

Do you not know how to watch trailers or do you need a voice over saying shit like "In a world one boy" to spell shit out to you.

It's obviously a magical girl type show but with a boy. It's gonna centre around villians, super, powers and coming of age. Think Sailor Moon orr something.

I think it would do fine since it has Wes Anderson, and Jude Law.

And you've heard nothing but mockery about it from where? The internet elitist echo chamber? Most of my friends in real life and my twitter feed seem excited about it.

I think the show will do fine, because the demographic is there. It's just gonna be criticized by hipster anime snobs a lot though.

>>95340336
The secondary themes are magic and terrorism.

>>95340363

Perfect Hair Forever looks WORSE than "How to Draw Manga & Anime" books, which was a legitimate stylistic choice. This show just looks like shit because it is trying to ape an art style.

>I bet you think people hate it because it stars black characters and not because the art and animation look like shit.
Lmao I know why people hate it. I showed it to my friend and he said, "Oh he looks like you but this seems like a show for girls." It's a Moe anime, it's a show focused on relationships and character development and tongue and cheek moments rather action. Most people like action packed anime. Not pink filly, slow paced shows that reference Chanel and nihilism with some action thrown in.

> It's a Moe anime, it's a show focused on relationships and character development and tongue and cheek moments rather action.

You really, really do not understand what the word "moe" means in the context of anime, do you? In this case, you want to use either "shōjo" or "slice-of-life", as the former tends to skew towards "girly-girl" things like relationships, while the latter skews towards a lack of action. Also: "tongue-in-cheek", not "tongue and cheek", you fucking imbecile.

>Most people like action packed anime.

Only because that shit sells more and airs on more TV stations than shōjo/SOL anime. Go outside the Toonami audience and you'll see how shows like "Yuri on Ice" or "Lucky Star" have a large following in spite of your assumptions that "people only like action shows".

>Not pink filly, slow paced shows that reference Chanel and nihilism with some action thrown in.

Was looking at the Wikipedia page. It's not even a Netflix series, it was made in 2015 and shelved because no one wanted it, until Netflix bought it on the cheap.

>Neo Yokio was originally announced, without title, at Production I.G.'s panel at Anime Expo in 2015. The series was originally intended to run as part of Fox's Animation Domination High-Def late night block, which had just transitioned from the Fox network to sister cable network FXX earlier that year. No further details about the series were announced in the months following, and Animation Domination High-Def ceased operations in 2016. On September 7, 2017, Netflix announced they had acquired the unaired Neo Yokio series to stream on their service, labeling it as a Netflix Original Series. The series' first season will stream on September 22, 2017.

>>95341769
Not talking about "lack of quality", talking about people who think this is meant to be serious.

>>95341965

The OP wasn't. It was clearly meant to imply that the show's quality can be excused by the show being a "satire" of...something...and anyone criticizing the quality of this show is "missing the point".

I saw a reference to "Perfect Hair Forever" in this thread, and that is a perfect launching pad for this discussion. PHF intentionally looked awful - which was a stylistic decision meant to heighten the absurdity of a show that was a gigantic parody of anime, right down to young female characters who exist only for fanservice, ridiculous plots involving journeys and superpowers, and talking trees that have sex with dogs (what's up with that?). The entire point of PHF was to skewer anime right down to the core, and that included a ridiculous art style intended to mock limited animation and a "generalized" style of anime.

"Neo Yokio" is nothing that PHF wanted to be. Even if this shit is a parody, it is a shitty one. Every decision about the art style was likely done with the intent of mirroring popular/"generic" anime rather than parodying it. The story is supposedly a genderswapped "Sailor Moon", which basically makes it "Ronin Warriors", a decades-old show that still looks better than this trash. The writing for this must be good enough to compensate for the "Babby's First Attempt to Copy Anime" look and feel of the show, or else the show is doomed to be exactly what it looks like at first glance: a colorful pile of Jaden Smith's puke.
