>what if we made a movie that has no sex but is still kind of violent>Virgin Punk if you will
>R15It is what it is.
I enjoyed the comeback, but where was the funny
I enjoyed the oldschool action scenes. The story was... what you'd expect in an Umetsu work, but still okay
tourists are absolutely seething they were deceptively conned into wasting $18 on a 35m episode with loli titties they walked into 10 minutes late and out of 10m into the making ofit was an awesome OVA
>>283718015Loved it, but I'm left wanting more so badly.
>>283718258>$18some even bought popcorn and soda lmaoooo
>>283718258pleasethey were hebe titties
I just got back from it. Pretty good, about what I expected and I was grateful for the lewd shots. They are doing more, right? They didn't really allude to continuing it in the interviews
>>283718279I don't know there was an aire of "please make this a success so we can" to the proceedings and rollout
>>283718221Whipped cream on her nose & the guy kicking with his injured leg, little side gags.
catch any "easter egg' references director-sama mentioned?
It was surreal seeing A Kite and Mezzo Forte played on the big screen, even briefly. If I started banging on the projector booth do you think they would play all of it?
>35 minutes longWell, I guess I will refund my ticket . I would have been mad if I paid 20 bucks for that
No sex?
>>283718316No, I was wondering about that >>283718293I thought I had read awhile ago that more was in production but I can't find anything now. Hell, I only happened to find out this was getting a US release earlier this afternoon
>>283718334do you have any idea what we used to pay for physical media to watch anime broke boy? it was a great value to see this condensed quality for a niche property on the big screen.
i thought her adult look was prettier than the dollthough maybe it was just the nice lighting in that scene in her apartment
>>283718279I have a faint memory that it'll be a trilogy series, but hopefully they make enough money to make at least a sequel.I want to see that big titty Japanese-themed girl, Vespa, from the end in action
>only two guys in all of Shaft are drawing on paper anymore>one of them is the directorInterdasting
>>283718015I'm not sure if Umetsu ever actually liked doing the extremely explicit sex scenes, most of his works (other than A Kite) worked well if you just toned down or even cut out the sex scenes, they often served no purpose, seemed like just a thing Arms pushed onto the movies because they were a hentai company.
>>283718258I thought it didn't work as a short film or as a first episode in a tv show. Just some individually cool cuts of animation. No whole work either way.And of 6 people in the theater 5 stayed. It was a fat balding millennial who left.
>>283718574>the discipline, the spiritual connection, the lost art CRAFT of superior hand drawn>yea I'm just too boomer to bother learning technologybasado
>>283718847good catch and kind of a big oversight, I definitely notice details like that which invest me in the verisimilitude the making of portion is online?
>>283718015Really disappointed to find out this was only 30 minutes long
>>283718894No idea, someone dropped that in a previous thread and I held on to itGiven the end card it's probably promotional material from either Fathom or Aniplex.
>all the randoms who came to see an anime movie / Shaft movie>instead get an Umetsu movie>guy with a lolita complex who turns a girl 14 for his amusement, barges in on her in the shower, has her in servitude wearing cat ears and skimpy dressesIt really is Trump’s America
>>283719192>randoms >who came to see a Shaft movielol
>>283718015Why is this director so obsessed with abusing young women?
>>283719192I refuse to believe anyone who walked into this had no clue what they were signing up for, the combination of Umetsu and Shaft is too uncommon.
>>283718847>not only have animators nowadays lost their ability to animate mecha and vehicles, they also can no longer animate firearmsWhat a dark age we are living in.
>>283718988>>283718894It's from this twitter posthttps://x.com/AniTrendz/status/1986263386313863423There's also this interview on YThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSXNHAzsdsk
>>283719229Why? I would have expected good amounts of rape. I would have been disappointed.
>>283718015>no rapeDropped.Umetsu has long passed his prime.
>>283719229>>283719218https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1our9jv/save_your_money_virgin_punk_clockwork_girl_is_a/
>>283719389Yeah, but these randoms came(with their moms) to watch an anime movie, not a "Shaft movie". Randoms won't go to watch a "Shaft movie".
>>283718334Seeing great animated action is work it.Sad theres no 20 minute gangrape scene like there would have been 20 years ago though.
>>283719192>naked neko loli>in imaxI dont care if this shit is 10 minutes just bought my ticket!
Come watch Angel's Egg 4K with me next week anons
Does the main girl pee pee herself?
>>283720269Bought my tickets asap and the art book but cant make the early access dolby screening. Really wish it had been more then 2 days for that. The trailer makes me a but hesitant because ive seen it in theaters years ago (lamelle or some such art house chain showed it back in early 2010s) and it was beautiful even if "grainy" and the 4k resto is giving disney / daftpunk ai-upscale vibes which is literal eye cancer.
>>283718847Wait, the guns are all hand drawn? Kek, feels kind of wasted effort to draw it so well it looks like cgi.
Japan has a real problem with legendary boomer animators calling all the shots and producing gorgeous looking garbage because they didn't really have to tell a story back in the day.
>>283718015Should have been a setting where things are powered by the energy of virgins.
>>283719389>everybody asking for refundslol they're never showing part 2 overseas
>>283718616He famously said he only added them into Mezzo Forte because he couldn't get a studio to fund it otherwise, which is why one is a literal dream sequence and both are entirely superfluous to the plot. Ironic since they're two of the best hentai sex scenes ever animated
>>283721095Funny, how the table has turned.Nowadays nobody wants to fund anything that contain sexual stuff in it, and even if they did they will force the studio to censor or tone the explicit stuff down.What gives?
Just go watch porn, bro.you really are mad because it's doesn't have some generic pornbait?
>Just go watch por- ACK!
>>283721169If I tell you why 10 people will call me a /pol/tard
>>283718258>bubble era OVA culture is back and it's hard filtering touristsyou love to see it
>>283721571Say it
>>283719389It's so annoying these people who didn't even know enough about it to know it was 30 minutes got to watch it but I can't cause I don't live in the US.
>>283718258>>283718269Explain further.Are people on tw*tter bitching about this or something?
>>283723062On reddit it seems >>283719389
>>283719230When was the last good hand drawn mecha anime in your standards?
>>283719230He says they can but just miss a few details.
>>283719389>we want the OVA era back>OVA era is brought back>Nande!? Nostalgia fags are loud but not the majorityBut on the other hand, it also went under the radar on Japan so...Sony may hop off from funding more pre-2000-OVA stuff on the big 2025 and forward.
>>283721834Maclunkey
>>283718316Didn’t notice anything specific from any other anime or movie. I’m wondering if when she opened her closet one of the outfits was from a previous work. Like the A Kite girls uniform.
>>283722077To be entirely fair to them, if you look at the theater sites for showtimes, at least the ones near me playing it, they all include the bonus features with the runtime. So if you didn't know going in you'd see it say 94 minutes and assume it was that long
>>283718258I paid $17 for a 35 minute OVA episode I will do it again if part II releases in theatres, best part of my showing was hearing an audible disgust when the tits showed up.
>>283718258I really enjoyed the making of too a lot actually. Just seeing their modern process and how grueling every step has of making an animation is.
>>283723525>best part of my showing was hearing an audible disgust when the tits showed up.The absolute state of normalfags
>>283723525>an audible disgust when the tits showed upDo Americans really???
>>283723525>americans
>>283718015Modern audiences don't get sex so they don't want to be constantly reminded about it
Also it was funny seeing that one female Shaft employee had a Bishounen Tanteidan mousepad and a mug, 30 buttons and I think a figure all of the white haired boy from it.And I swear I saw either a poster of him or daki cover upsidedown in another shot.
>>283723525>>283723623>>283723642I thought normalfags liked tits and it was just a vocal minority of wokescolds who hate them.
>>283723696Just as male otakus have their waifus, female ones have their husbandos. It's nice to see loyalty.
>>283723525My audience of 8 were half women and they and everyone else liked it. Elegance says he gets off on being a creep, everyone watching gets it by then.
>>283723723Not sure I do or don’t hope to be that obsessed over a single character, I haven’t found the one yet anyway.
>>283720279Nope and she can’t anymore. She can’t cry or sweat now either.
>>283719389I know this is Reddit and all, but good lord.
>>283723525>>283718258>>283718015>>283723749My theater had a man going "that's gross" and a few women going "ewwwww" multiple times. I hope they don't release part 2 in the U.S as clearly my country has an audience of faggot puritanical children. Keep it to Japan and just release a good BD for me to watch when the 2nd and 3rd parts release. It was funny to see the seethe though irl for real.
>>283723945I looked at the plebbit thread and that user I noticed commented under maybe 50+ of the replies, giga melty.
To be fair, that one scene did have aesthetic orange coloring.
>>283718221Part II is where the shenanigans are gonna happen when Vespa starts tagging along with Ubu. She seems to have a bubbly personality going by her wake up sequence.
>>283724210Her working with a new girl and possibly working against that other girl throwing bombs in the junkyard is an interesting enough tease for the next part.
>>283719389Did they also complain about S2 DanDanDan premiere? (Basiclaly the first 3 episodes + some director commentary)Even for reddit, the post and most of fhe comments are really shit. Encouraging people to not to watch the movie just because of the animation part is short.
So are we going to learn in part 3 or 4 that Mr. Elegance saved her from being tentacle raped via shooting her and turning her into his personal, hyper expensive fuckdoll?
>>283719389These guys have no idea how expensive anime is and they wonder why the west never gets shit when they're this cheap?
>>283723267>Retard doesn´t know what OVA means
Elegance saved her from the super criminal and put her in a superior body. He’s the real hero of this tale, and apparently has his own backstory that they want to save for later.
>>283718258It sounds absolutely awesome, and it probably either my AOTY or 2nd place...but I couldn't catch it yesterday cause I had a code sprint. I'll have to wait for the BD I guess.
>>283718221The guy asking for his knife back was funny.
>>283724434This is a Yuya Takahashi script so that seems like the expected outcome
I want to know how much money this makes at the box office. Do runs like this usually get that info?
>>283724128how it suffused the space definitely caught my eye the way they lingered on it as unique in anime, I thought to myself it could be a Wong Kar Wai reference.
>>283725063you can see the dub version tomorrow
>>283725422Then It’ll really feel like a 90s ova
>>283725350I’m not seeing much info at all from the JP release, but someone might report on some western box office numbers.
>>283718015amc website bugged out so I couldn't watch it lol
Decent amount of nudity but I also enjoyed the quick butt flash when she was in the Medical gown.
>>283718258>>283723525They showed her 14yo tits? Isn't that literally CP in some American states now?
>>283725951Probably made her a 24-year-old brain in a teen body to skirt that kind of thing
>>283725951There was also a loli in the whore house line up of girls with a suspicious shadow covering her eyes for some reason.
>>283720269I will only because I actually like it but it's relegated to one small theater on one small screen 50 minutes from where I live.Virgin Punk actually got a bigger screen than this is going to get locally.
>>283718015What if they made an episode of this and attached it to an hour-long documentary. They could sell it as a full-length movie.
>>283726848I’d watch whatever that filename is referencing
>>283726134Eye covering bangs erotic
>the name's probably symbolic of something integral to the story >“CHERRY CHAN">>283718269yeah and it was worth it>>283725071this
I'll just wait until the trilogy is finished and will watch it all at once for a 15 euro ticket.
>>283727067Hopefully by that point the BD release of the first time will have already come out.
>>283718015Is this a one time showing in the US? I can’t see any other showing time other than the dub version for tomorrow at my local theater.
>>283727306Correct, sub was yesterday and the dub will be tomorrow and that's the only North American release this is going to see.
How packed were the theaters in the States?I was able to see the film while in Japan and there were four people besides me in the entire movie hall. Maybe the late screening time had something to do with it
>>283727736there were about 10 people at my showing, which was honestly more than i expected for a wednesday and not in a major metro area
>>283727736I'd estimate maybe 15-20 in a shopping mall theater on the outskirts of a major city. More people than I expected but not exactly a packed house.
>>283727067So wait 5 years
>>283718015Where the fuck was the rape?! I needed to coom....
Genuinely asking what the fuck is wrong with americans? I've been getting a lot more reels with "ragebait" (idk if it is even ragebait anymore or if they're 100% serious) with all these whities and asians victim whoring virtue signaling fags who try their hardest to virtue signal. I know red neck americans are corny as all hell but blue state americans just seem like the biggest pussies I've ever seen in my god damn life.
