Anon its a budget live action with jap actors and asians arent a facially pretty race.

If you watch anything with them you are going to see a lot of instances where their makeup fails to really cover how bad their features really are. It just comes with the territory and why I dont like asians. Anime/manga when coverted to live action is made to be portrayed by foreign races and even japanese protagonists who grew up in Japan are also the most accurately portrayed by foreigners.

Which this does not have the budget for.

Why do you guys care this much, this is not the first and not the last live action that's like this. Barely any of them even attempt to even wear wigs to emulate the characters they're supposed to be, they often completely rewrite everything but the names of characters.

No she doesn't.

Trust me, I've watched JAVs for years.

Even the 40~50 years old milfy actual JAV actresses look way hotter even with average faces because they all have the lust swag.

No idea how old Tsubaki Katou is (I'd guess 35?) but she would be an awesome fit, or Shibuya Kaho. To play Marin.

They should hace gotten a LEGIT JAV actress.

Or even better - some, seiyuu/Jpop adjacent celebrity like Miya from Sangatsu no Phantasia, Daoko, Asmi, Reol. Rena Nounen.


Those girls could pull it off on the acting part.


Like, Japan DOES have cute popular sexy girls but when it comes to live action adaptations, they always get the most mid literal whos.


Why?!

Two of them are canonically weird looking, but the other is a model. And the reason is simple: nobody wants to watch ugly people on TV. I only saw a bit of the live action and it wasn’t truly awful but it wasn’t very good either.

I mean when the anime was released, they literally got a J Pop celebrity - the singer Akari Akase - to release a video of her signing the opening and cosplaying as Marin.

Akari Akase is a perfect fit and she literally already played the role, why not just hire her again???

*ending I meant but whatever, my point still stands

Because she is not part of the talent agency that the producers favored. It's all about nepotism which is why Jap media has stagnated.

Because she isn't an actress.

I’d cum on their faces yeah
>>
>>273216591
Daoko isn't an actress either but they got her for the XXXholix movie, ano isn't an actress either but they got her for Oshi no Ko.

It's been 2 years since the Sono Bisque Doll anime debut, they could have arranged everything. And I doubt that this nu-Marin has more nepo clout than Akase, a literal J pop singer.

I'm pretty sure that Akari Akase would have instajumped on the Marin cosplay clout opportunity especially since she canonically can do the whole kyunkyun voice and mannerisms and nobody is asking for more in this sorta role. A 1 year crash course of acting and there you have an awesome opportunity for a live action breakout. Akari Akase not having acting experience means that her agency wouldn't have asked for TOO much budget subsidies for her salary

SEA must go back.

>>273215159
She'd probably look younger if not for those retarded puffy bags under her eyes (and better makeup)

>>
>>273216591
Besides, from what I see, all Japanese media women are very flexible in this media field.

Like Shibuya Kaho does JAV but also Youtubing, same for Shuri Atomi

Aimi Yoshikawa does JAV and regular roles, the singers can be seiyuus or the seiyuus can be singers it's all part of one universal "media woman" profession the way I observe it

>>
Keep forgetting how naturally dark nips are since they constantly make themselves look paler in photos
>>
>>273215309
But how do the producers financially benefit from getting random whos instead of established media girls?

Surely Akari Akase as Marin would have got them way more media exposure and therefore profit??? Especially since they don't need to do much promotion, the Sono Bisque ED video from Akase is already a huge media promotion.

What is the point, I don't get it. Nepotism usually is done in the name of benefit, like when Japan gatekeeps its media for only Japanese actors and seiyuus, I get it and I agree. And that's a rational thing, every country with a huge media does the same.

But here they're gatekeeping a cool juicy suitable role from a JAPANESE girl who already has reputation as Marin and evidently has some connections to the producers (otherwise how'd they get her to sing the ending and make a whole music video)

This sort of internal nepotism makes no sense, I don't understand it

Yeah, and I don’t think that’s a good thing but that’s not what I’m talking about. Making pornography and pornographers mainstays in traditional and new media is crossing a boundary between human decency and vice that I’m not comfortable with and that I think will have a largely negative effect on young people.

Pornography is not good for you. Whether you partake or not, as a consenting adult mind you, is completely up to you and I have no problem with that. I don’t think pornography should be banned like I don’t think alcohol should be banned. But I don’t think that children and everyday people should be subject to it in nearly every facet of their lives.

Live action adaptation can be good if they actually care and want to put effort into them.
I just watched Rohan's live action and I am honestly surprised how well done it is.

Obviously I do not have pictures of this specific person because she's never posted them, and would never because she knows the truth.
But there are MANY examples you can easily find online. Don't be so willfully ignorant and mentally cuck yourself into believing that slag is still young and beautiful.
Don't be a used condom enjoyer.

JP media and entertainment industry, and I think the worst Koreen industry is too, is weird. It all seems to be built around obsessing over an individual or a group of people, like the whole idol thing. They craft and market an image of a person and expect, and actually get, people to be obsessed over it; you see it in manga too where girls will obsess and idolize a 'prince' girl in school, forming fanclubs and shit. I wonder how true to life this is? After all 'stanning' and idol, whatever the terminology is, isn't much different.

In the west normalfags love to gossip about celebrities but there isn't the same normalized obsession. The closest it gets is the stereotype of teenage girls obsessing over some boyband; but at least in my day they treated that fan obsession as a happy byproduct whereas the jpop idols and koreen kpop fags are all created and managed specifically to garner obsession.

I've actually thought about this and I don't really think this holds up..

What you're essentially saying is that anime &manga should be enjoyed in complete isolation from the concepts of real life Japan.

I beg to differ.

If you wanna experience otaku culture to a peak extent, you gotta learn some stuff about Japan itself as it manifests in reality:
Japanese language
Japanese music
Japanese culture
Japanese history
Japanese cuisine
And the sixth and most important,
The Japanese people themselves.

This should not "alter" your perception of otaku media but rather enrich and deepen it so you can immerse into the Japanese otaku psyche to a 100%, to see, what lies beyond the abstract of the world of otaku.

Japanese women are to be respected and admired, both in the otaku form and i the form they assume in reality.

It's a dichotomy

One does not exist without the other.


Open your heart for loving Japanese women for who they truly are. And you will discover a new world of The Otaku Truth

No, they want you to obsess over a series or movie or something. Not the actors in it, at least not to the same degree as how they try to manage a Japanese idol group. Name one western record label who promotes and manages a band like they do.

Yeah, but why are they still just making gigaslop to this day?
And I don't mean in the sense that they fail to make something great - It's like they refuse to TRY to make anything decent.
With the tools available today, it should be comparatively easy and cheap to make the kind of stuff Kurosawa did. They just have to actually TRY to act and TRY to direct.
Why isn't there even an indie scene for people who actually make attempts?

NTA but I can't see anything special about Japanese women that makes them deserve to be praised over western women.

Most whites aren't blonde.
But japanese hair is quite horrible in ways that a dye can't fix. It's so thin and straight, and the texture is different from normal hair. But on the flipside they have very aesthetic pubic hair.
If this divergence in evolution is caused simply by sexual selection, Japan must be extremely horny country to somehow manage to ignore heads in favor of cunts to this degree.

Not anime but the recent Queen of Villains series on Netflix had two gorgeous actresses playing Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka who have always looked like butch dykes IRL.
