There is hope.
Based. Now make a new eva movie with Rei getting pregnant.
He's saying this because the 4th one flopped.
>>284725304>It's the audience that's the problem not me
Asuka won btw
>>284725304I never cared for eva besides its legacy in the medium but this will piss off half the Liberals globalist who like the show so based
unfortunately capitalism says otherwise
>>284725304Would have been a good point if he had actually stayed true as an artist, but he chose to reboot, retcon and eternally milk his one success.
>>284725304Meanwhile CHADzuka
>>284726095Kill yourself, /v/tard.
>>284725304His series is one of the most popular anime globally.
>>284726139Go back
>>284726144doubt, new western generation just knows dandadan and solo leveling
>>284725304So he is going the failguard/concord strategy then.
>>284726236What anime are you talking about?
He might be washed creatively, but they'll never make me dislike him.
>>284726199Dunning–Kruger retard.
>>284725304Anime is already made with the global market in mind.
>>284725304Didn't this asshole spit in the face of otakus and told them they need to quit anime and get a life right before Eva became a cultural phenomenon?
>>284725592>reading comprehension
>>284726144How does that contradict his statement?
>>284727476It's easy to say the global market doesn't matter only after you've already made tons of money from global and local market.
>>284727669he didn't say the global marker doesn't matter, just that taking them into account when creating anime isn't a good idea.
>>284727669And he did it without pandering to the global market. That's the point.
>>284725304Super based
>>284727789His shows did pander to global market. They are very popular overseas and that contributed to his success.
>>284727901>His shows did pander to global marketHow so?
>>284725304How the fuck does Anno bounce from mastermind thundercock to drooling retard so easily? He has VERY good and VERY bad opinions all the time.
>>284727935By being toned down, "deep" anime with serious themes and tons of judeo-christian references and little japanese and otaku related theme.
>>284727951Any true artist is a wellspring of great and terrible ideas.
>>284725304didn't his company just go bankrupt after making a bunch of shitty movies?
>little japanese and otaku related themeObvious bait is obvious.
>>284725304Isn't this just basic logic? People like anime because is anime, because is different from the usual, if you start to make anime to be similar to other media then it becomes less appealing.
>>284725304>goes full normalfag at the end of rebuildsHypocrite.
>>284727789>>284727901That's because japs believe to be special and different compared to the rest of the world, when in reality people oversea relate without problems to about 90% of their works
>>284728023Oh, you're just talking out of your ass
>>284728077Seems like your understanding of "global market" is the problem.
>>284728077>>284728261What japanese/otaku themes you got there, except for some aliens being kaiju-like and totally-not-mechas that really appear for small fraction of play time?Evangelion is very westernized. It takes a lot of inspirations and themes from western world. Not that it's a bad thing, it's a good anime. But you can't say that it does not appeal to western casual audience. There is a reason why it's such a cult classic worldwide.
>>284728179Anime is like my Disney cartoons.
>>284728080/vpol/ tourist
>>284725304Remind me again what happened to the studio?
People got into Japanese stuff because it's Japanese
>>284728386>kike-nog slop/vpol/ tourist
>>284728261>>284728274That retard you're talking to is some spreg that's been seething about Anno since the last rebuild movie. Most of his posts are retarded shit like >>284728077 or spamming Anno's a hackto himself for hours.
>>284728326shut the fuck up redditor, I've been on this board for longer than you have been alive
>>284728501Stop lying and just kill yourself, tourist
>>284725304I mean, yeah the global market was later to evas initial success. So fuck em.
>>284728533Go back to Stormfront, tourist
>>284728326>>284728470>>284728541>>284728595Oh man, this guy is back. Every time it's one of these threads where a Japanese creative mocks westoids, he's here to mald lmao. Pretty sure this is the GQuacks faggot as well. Just ignore him
>>284728487Only the first post replied to me and idk what you are talking about. I don't even post on /a/ regularly and I love evangelion and Anno. But that doesn't mean I don't see how it's a baby's first anime which everyone can enjoy, even if they know nothing about Japan and otaku culture. Like I said it doesn't mean NGE is bad. But it is an example of anime that appeals to casual, global audience.Didn't Anno said himself that he doesn't like otaku culture?
>>284728679>westoids/vpol/ tourist
>>284726095The God of Manga being based as always.
>>284725304Figures it takes a manchild to say the obvious:If I wanted something with "global appeal" that forgot its origins I'd be watching westslop.
>>284728709>Didn't Anno said himself that he doesn't like otaku culture?Yes, the man who has spent the past decade rebooting tokusatsu franchises hates otaku culture
>>284725304>1 trick pony doesnt believe in creating hes only made 1 anime in 50 years
>>284728723white-upigg-ugo home
>>284728301>What japanese/otaku themes you got thereIf you have to ask, you’re a newfag. That an anime series where a sci-fi organization stops kaiju from destroying Tokyo with the help of giant humanoid aliens who operate under a time limit takes a lot of inspiration from otaku media shouldn’t even need to be said, and that’s even without getting into the episode where two guys of the same nature do a flying side kick together, the one with a kaiju ripped straight from a Tatsunoko production, or the movie where the robot resets the universe.
>>284729078Or the literal military otaku character lolThese tourists are truly shameless
>>284727901You're a retard who doesn't know what pandering means.It means intentionally targeting the overseas market. The overseas market was hardly a fucking thing come evangelion, it wasn't even considered very much in japan at the time.
>>284729174I truly think Anno did some dark magic spell while making Eva to ensure it’d be a great show, with the trade-off being that it’d end up having the most insufferable discourse around it ever.
>>284727901do you have any idea what pandering is? >b-but crossesyou are a retard.
Every thread with a twitter screencap in the OP is made by a /vpol/ spammer to create a pretense for the tourists to talk about nothing but their political agenda as is obvious from the constant use of /pol/ memes and slurs. They'll tell you to go back when you call them out, then turn around and post another twitter screencap, image from reddit, or the latest meme from their echo chamber.
>>284729078Well, I have been here for over a decade. I haven't posted on /a/ for years though, but it used to be my main board before mods banned Naruto hate, generals and turned /a/ into shit.You don't need to know any of this to enjoy evangelion. The Tokyo here is just by name, it could be any near-future city. Scifi military organizations are not unique to anime either. Kaiju? Sure, but that's such a popular theme globally that it hardly counts. I wouldn't even consider NGE as mecha. Sure you got big robots here but this isn't a show for mecha autists like Gundam or something. Everything else has universal appeal or is straight up western(Judeo-christian references).>>284729221>>284729485Sure, pandering is not a good word here. But it is made to be appealing to wide audience. Even more so than ghibli movies imo.
>the audience will have to adaptI wish.The problem is if Anno's even at the point where the industry is cognizant of foreigners, it's already too late. The consideration is already happening. Once they know it's there, the money's there, the winner is the one that panders the most. That's just how it works.
>>284729554Yeah you’ve got to be trolling
>>284729554Yeah no buddy. pandering is a key word in what everyone has problem with. "appealing to wide audience" is very vague and there are several ways that can happen and trust me some crosses isn't as big of a thing as you might think in that matter. there are far more popular anime and they don't have any imagery references. pandering though means that anime will stop being anime at some point and become just another piece of media that is losing its relevance.
>>284729554>like GundamYou mean the series that panders to the west by making the antagonists patterned after Prussians/Nazis while the better faction are patterned after the western neoliberal NATO alliance? You say Tokyo is just a name, but Gundam doesn't even focus on Japan and brings together a fully globalized portrayal with names taken from cities all over the world. You mean the series that borrows popular, international sci-fi concepts from the time like O'Neill cylinders? The one that incorporates psychedelic imagery from the hippy movement in the pivotal moment when an Indian woman and a Japanese-Canadian boy have soul link at death's door?
>>284729784Judeo Christan reference in NGE go much deeper than just crosses. Idk why does it even needs to be said.
>>284729951Gundam is not very popular outside of Japan.
>>284725304Anno is just your typical auteur that creates for himself'; he is the only audience that matters.
>>284728386Anno and Sakurai know that only japanese people make Pupa, Umineko/Higurashi, Esper Mami, Madoka Magica, Evangelion, Doraemon, Ima Soko ni Iru Boku, Final Fantasy 7, Bokurano, Galaxy Express 999, Narutaru etc
>>284727901Thats not the point
>>284729961because that's what actually matters. trust me most of the people that watched didn't even get half of it besides the superficial things.
>>284725304Yeah, he hates Americans.
>>284730074Who doesn't?
>>284725304anno usually has shit takes but he's right in this caseglobal audience wants less lolis, more colored characters and less fanservice/more censorship
>>284729976Far more popular than NGE
>>284730162Oh look, another /vpol/ tourist who only posts on /a/ to complain about culture war nonsense straight from the gamergate echo chamber
>>284725304holy zased
>>284729976Outside of Japan = America in the present day
>>284730203the fuck are you talking about?globalization has been a disaster for anime have you seen the shitty netflix garbage they tried to pass off as anime?
>>284730073Fucking Kabbalah tree of life is shoved down your throat every few minutes. Many important plot points are named after related things, Eva itself, Lilith, Adam, dead sea scrolls, Longinus spear, instrumentality, literally everything there is from some Jewish mythology.>>284730167How so?
>>284725304Can we get the same message but from soneone who isn't a washed up hack?
>>284725304Last time this nigga worked was more than a decade ago.
>>284726095Legend
>>284730306How not so? Multiple gundam series have aired in primetime afterschool slots in the US while NGE has been relegated to niche slots. Then you get into the toy and model situation. Ready Player One might be a great example here since gramps was given star treatment while evas are a minor reference cut from the film.
>>284730631The guy you’re arguing with is either trolling or does not know what Ultraman is and thinks that Eva is not a mecha series while the character drama-based Gundam is a series for “‘mecha autists”. Don’t bother my man. Drop him.
>>284730631I'm not from US.I literally never heard about anyone in my friend groups or local social media who watched or cared about Gundam. While pretty much everyone have watched evangelion.I guess it might be different in US.
>>284730682>I literally never heard about anyone in my friend groups or local social media who watched or cared about GundamSeems like your country doesn't have any otaku
>>284725304basedfuck globalism
>>284730851Do you like delinquent manga and anime?
>>284725304He was always based since he loved Tex Avery's shorts and it's constant blackface gags, but hated Disney I was never a big Evangelion fan, but I did like Gunbuster a lot
Oh wait why do I even bother with tropes that tourists who don't watch anime wouldn't even know about?Hey, you know lolicon is the result of globalism, right? Lolita is not Japanese literature. Alice in Wonderland is not Japanese literature. Lolita Complex is not Japanese literature. Even the "modeling" magazines are European imports. When you fap to loli you're engaging in globalism!
>it be dem muhfuggin tourists n shieeet bruhNobody cares.
>>284731180Obviously you care about being called out as the poser faggot that you are or you wouldn't be compelled to save face by replying in such a passive-aggressive, bitch-like way
>>284731227*waggles my smelly dong in your face*
>>284730966Based
>>284731092Wrong, research Japanese legends, myths and old paintings, plenty of them involve the rape of underage girls for some reason
>>284726095You proved the point. That's literally against "the global" market.
What does "global market" mean?Because if "global market" means brow people, vegans and homosexuals, Evangelion and Nadia have all of them.
>>284727789According to Tsurumaki, if they knew Eva was going to reach the overseas, they wouldn't use the angel theme. I think this is a mistake because Eva being "satanic" was a big part of the appeal during the late 90, early 00s. I was there
>>284725304Meanwhile coward Oda says One piece is being made for global audience
>>284731567Now I want a James Bond film directed by Anno
>>284731627It means hiring westerners as advisors or developers
>>284730966Tex Avery's 1952 short film "Magical Maestro" which was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" has a blackface gag, bet Anno enjoyed that
>>284731683Which anime is this from? Surely you're not another /vpol/ tourist posting a video game related image from your board while using gamergate talking points that have nothing to do with anime studios, right?
>>284731092>Alice in Wonderland is not Japanese literature. Lolita Complex is not Japanese literature. Even the "modeling" magazinesMaybe back then the pop culure was good in the west and people hate further globalization/westernization of japanese pop culture becausr western pop culture has become utter shit?
>>284732094>Maybe back then the pop culure was good in the west and people hate further globalization/westernization of japanese pop culture becausr western pop culture has become utter shit?Nope, you're just tourists who seethe about the media other people make because they don't cater to your political agenda. That's why you always have to lie about pop culture and history to frame yourselves as some kind of original victims deprived of things to which you're entitled when the reality is that you're parasitic tourists who only jump on mainstream bandwagons and then throw tantrums until the real fans and creators appease you. That's why despite how you all bitch and moan about media becoming worse, none of you can even produce a single work to show your superior understanding of any medium. All you can do is complain about what others make because they don't make it for you.
>>284730306And? Yeah I am quite sure average normalfag caught tikkun olam. what I am saying is that despite Eva being full of those imagery, average viewer would not catch even half of it so it has basically no relevance to the popularity.
He's right.The "global market" just means toned-down and uninteresting shit made for the lowest common denominator.The future of pandering to "the global market" is just AIslop.That way it can all be tailored to each region's individual censorship guidelines and cultural hangups (read: whatever dumb shit people whine about on social media, since that's what all AIslop is trained on anyways).
>>284725304Good. Anime should remain Japanese. This is what true otaku of all nationalities want. Only people who hate anime and want it censored/altered advocate in favour of the "global market."
>>284725888Anime became profitable because of what makes it unique, not because it appealed to the global market. If anime fundamentally changes then fans will stop buying into it
>>284731739OK
>>284726698It's not, if it was it would be woke slop
>>284727901His anime being successful overseas doesn't mean it pandered to the global market
>>284732433>Anime became profitable because of what makes it unique, not because it appealed to the global marketTotal bullshit pulled straight from a tourist's ass
>>284728445This.
>>284732288And I think a western viewer who is unfamiliar with Japanese culture is much more likely to pick up these references than references to Shinto or Buddhism.
>>284725304This guy's gonna become a billionaire from all the birther propaganda he's making.
Hey remember when Anno ruined Evangelion dubs forever because he was butthurt that Americans thought Kaworu was gay?
>>284732728>dubs
>>284732517>>284728445>>284732433See >>284732456 for one of the hilarious examples of a unique Japanese IP that is all about Japaneseness and has no global influences at all>>284732463Otaku media has always been woke since the very start. Otaku have been promoting progressive values since before it ever became mainstream for American children's media to do so. Anime itself is part of what made American cartoons become woke. All the shows you tourists from /vpol/ hate were influenced by anime, which also part of why you obsessively hate them. You're jealous that the things you hate actually have a more legitimate connection to the subculture than you do. And of course, you'll never make any works of your own.
>>284732456The CG show had American writers making changes to appeal to the American market
>>284732728>he was butthurt that Americans thought Kaworu was gayEveryone thought that except him.
>>284732728>ruined dubsStop, I can only kneel so hard.
>>284725592>ot's the woke western the problemExactly, qiqe!
>>284726679You just describe them, Crunchyroll cuck
>>284725304his words would have more meaning if he didn't create a full shitty fanfiction called rebuild
>>284732879Examples?I haven't watch it.
>>284728251Except they don't. They have local market, and sonething being successful there is good enough.
>>284732842What Anno mean is anime not falling into the corporate pandering of the west. He already criticized the otaku problem so he's also criticizing going to the other side, the result in both cases is soulless products. Just take a look at the MCU. Japan can't compite for not having a media empire like Disney so their efforts will result in flops like the Saint Seiya live action
>>284728023He did literally the same with Atlantis lore in Nadia, and it was to sell in Japan, not pandering to Greeks, dumbass.
>>284725304>caring what the guy who butchered devilman and mazinger thinks.
>>284727476Because Evangelion is filled with judeo-christianity allegories and God wanking from beginning to end
>>284733085Americans turned one of the main characters into a girl because the show lacked female representation. Nobody like this because said male character was a BL icon in Japan and some fans even called it sexist.
>>284728058>his companyNope. Gainax was not his company. >>284728709>but that doesn't mean I don't see how it's a baby's first anime which everyone can enjoy, even if they know nothing about JapanStill not pandering the global market. Still focused on japanese Otaku mecha culture.
>>284725304They have to say these things to appeal to the Nippon Ichi crowd who can't handle the reality that the local market is shrinking and thus relying entirely on it is unsustainable.
>>284733229See >>284731641
>>284725368Gendou already hit that and that was how Shinji was born.
>>284733229Any proof Anno included any of that to pander to people outside Japan? Because that is what he's talking about.
>>284733288Anno is a nationalist and his Gainax buddies are chuds
You can easily tell when a show is for example a Netflix show by their German branch or a German show Netflix bought to add to its platform.
>>284727476>>284729485>>284727935Evangelion is global product since it's inception and Anno is a known leftist.
>>284733251>my gay show full of androgynous men need more female representationThe horror.
>>284733413Eva was never intended to leave Japan. Eva has western influences but back then otaku mean to be a geek so they liked sci-fi, high fantasy, Hollywood movies, etc. The modern otaku only consume anime and manga
I am rewatching Evangelion and still see a lot of myself in Shinji. Except I would probably blow up a lot more.Like how the fuck should I react to seeing some chick I "work" with but never talk to naked after feeling her boob?
>>284733413So...any proofs?
>>284732842Don't pretend that people can't differentiate between American and Japanese media and that this isn't exceedingly obvious to anyone outside America.
>>284732842Wait, lmao this guy actually is the GQux bluesky tourist. Why are you always in these threads lol>>284733413Anno isn't a leftist lmao. He's a typical otaku which means centrist anti-SJW. He's literally worked with the LDP
Anno and Gainax have always been based. Look up Aikoku Sentai Dai Nippon, literally a far right nationalist super Sentai parody lol. One of the first things Gainax ever made and he worked on
Anno and Ken Akamatsu, notable LDP politician and critic of western globalism influencing in anime
>>284733320The intent doesn't matter. Evangelion had such a worldwide success because it was palpable for the casual viewer.
>>284734026>The intent doesn't matter.It most definitely does.
>>284734026>The intent doesn't matter.It absolutely matters. If you happen to create something that appeals to the west that is fine, it becomes a problem when you start to change what you want to make in the hopes of pleasing foreigners.
>>284730966>>284731714Based >>284731481Japan loves rape for some reason
>>284725368This but Misato
>>284733229>God wankingIn what kind of form is Eva God wanking? A deity doesn't seem to exist in the world of Eva. The Lilith Adam Giant Rei fusion is the closest there is to a God there but it contradicts every form of abrahmism except for some weird gnostic groups or some very weird kabbalahistic jewish group.The concept of God doesn't matter in Eva. The angels are just aliens and humanity's enemies. Adam isn't the ancestor of humanity, instead it is Lilith.
>>284734329Makes sense
>>284726426/v/iggers try their hardest to turn everything into a video game comparison.
>>284733278
>>284731481Yeh
>>284734264>>284734322No one who watches anime decides on whenever they like it based on author's intent. Intentional or accidentally, the quality and success is determined by the final work, not by the intent of the author.>it becomes a problem when you start to change what you want to make in the hopes of pleasing foreigners.If you execute it in a bad way, then yeah completely. But if you take example of anime which actually succeeded worldwide and correctly figure out what makes them appealing, then you might be able to have greater success in the global market.

I've been laughing even harder lately because the holidays seem to have brought out more oldfags than usual to tell you tourists off. I've even seen a few people repeating my lines; I'll even admit that I screech with hideous laughter when it happens.

>>284733501>The modern otaku only consume anime and mangaUm...I don't know how to tell you this.
>>284735463You are calling me a retard but you don't really get anything. All I was trying to explain to you is the mentality of many of the people who call things woke. But really I don't like this conversation. Muddying the water with political ideology is so frustrating. Instead of turning anime into a political tool, why not enjoy anime for everything in it? Some anime might talk about the topic, but in many cases its all about exploring interesting and fun ideas on paper, making beautiful drawings that can move in pleasing ways, listening to OSTs and voice actors that can evoke emotions to fit the drawings and stuff. The only thing your trying to do is slam all of anime into some extremely narrow minded box so that you can use it as a tool to argue with another extremely narrow minded group of people. It tells me that you put anime second at the very least.I believe I am one of the people on this board that likes anime more than almost anyone else that is here as presumptuous as it might be to say. However I want to connect with the ideas and emotions that the writers want me to see and enjoy them for what they are, instead of blanket categorizing each idea into some box that can never be appreciated unless you are part of x group. Can you understand something like that?
>>284733005he's not talking about the wokes, japanese people dont have a concept of that (if anything they fall into the woke camp by virtue of being yellow and hating gaijin)he's talking about the chuds that watch isekai and the shonenfags that take sales too seriously

It tells me that you put anime second at the very least.That's you tourists who refuse to talk about the political dimension to these works created intentionally by artists to contain these messages. You frame me as trying to put anime in a box because you're projecting, as usual. Nowhere have I have said that the other methods of engaging with these media are wrong. You pull that shit straight out of your ass like with everything else you say. >I want to connect with the ideas and emotions that the writers want me to seeNo you don't, or else you'd be raving about all of the political messages those artists have put in their work.
>>284736632Well, I don't agree with the way you see things. Have a Merry Christmas though. Or whatever holiday you might celebrate if you do something else I guess.
>>284736902>I don't agree with the way you see thingsSo cite an otaku creator who agrees with you or draw out grounding for your views from an anime. Otherwise, you're just a tourist with worthless opinions.

>>284725888It is not about money. It is about sending a message. Fuck money!
>>284737941Oh look, the tourist posted a screencap of a post from /pol/ that has nothing to do with animeFuck tourists!

>>284736983My point is a fucking knife in your eye you fake fan
Just read the article. I think Anno is more concerned about audience communication and artistic sincerity (By this, I mean letting artists do what they want) rather than tourists invading the medium. This is pure speculation on my part, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think it would make Anno happy if more people enjoyed his work, even if they were westerners (assuming that he is able to communicate the message he wants to say)So I guess to sum it all up, I'm not sure using Anno's words in this interview to put him into one of the camps in the tourist vs true anime fan debate is really stretching what he said. I'm tempted to even say dishonest, but I'm hesitant to use a word that inflammatory, currently.Also, what the fuck. There's email verification and the captcha's are more infuriating than ever.
Don't care, rebuilds are still a flaming pile of shit.
>>284733251>people make fun of anime! Shun because they think he's too girly>adaptation actually makes him a girl one time>same audience flips outAnd don't tell me they didn't. There were a lot of people who liked shun as he is but I remember a huge chunk of fans who were dumb little bitches about it
>>284738721Could you please start listing Anno's major works starting from his earliest work in the industry and then stop right around where it becomes apparent you're an outsider who doesn't belong here >>284738742>I'm tempted to even say dishonest, but I'm hesitant to use a word that inflammatory, currently.Why would you hesitate when it's apparent dishonesty from tourists? You can tell because they start their threads with twitter screencaps. Of course Anno doesn't give a fuck about the culture war nonsense that /vpol/ losers circlerjerk over; we're literally talking about the guy who used his big opportunity to reboot the Godzilla franchise to make a blunt and brutal critique of the Japanese government's failures during a national emergency and as a system. He is an adult with actual political views rather than a childish parasite throwing tantrums because no one wants to be his friend.
>>284725304These idiots say this, and then their movies are shown in other parts of the world besides Japan.They should only show it in Japanese theaters then, and that'll shut their fucking mouths.
>>284725304Not a fan of him but this is unfathomably based.
As it should be
>>284725304Mega based and otakupilled
>>284736237sauce for this image?
>>284725304>OMG BASED NATIONALISM BRO>WE'RE SO BACK >GLOBALKEKS BTFOThis faggot ran his property to the ground like an 80 year old whore and sold it to fucking McDonalds lmao you 'people' deserve to be wageslaves
Can someone remind me what Mari's pink Eva in 3.0 is called?
>>284735178She cute
>>284741637>ran his property to the groundBy what metric? The rebuilds were massively successful and well received films, the original NGE is still considered the greatest TV anime of all time, and Anno's done nothing but receive accolades and offers to direct iconic franchises from companies who want him to do for their properties what he's done for eva.
>>284725304>Typical crying about you culture of cowards not having enough skill to defeat the shitty power of "political correctness"
>>284731567>Anno is a MooreCHADbased
>>284729612I gonna explain you in the most simplest way possible:Both sides are complete morons.
>>284741707Can't sexualize the sexual.
>>284742841You're basically reciting tropes which only newfags who have read them from a tertiary source believe.Have some self awareness
it's christmas. how do neither of you not have anything better to do? you can always jump in r/a/dio and chill out with some food and booze
not pandering to what the global marketers and propagandists want is generally the better way to go from the basis of creativitylazarus is a good recent example of how terrible artwork becomes when you do this
Who cares, this nigga hasn't made any anime in years.
This thread is cancer and I'm likely not saying anything really unique or profound, but he's right. Prioritize artist vision over > commercial success in countries you don't even live in.
>>284741707Yes. Kill yourself.
>>284725304Not a fan of Eva but this is the right take. Just make things for your core audiences and stop trying to appeal to everyone.
>>284725304Uh oh chinks and SoCal will not like this.
>hate otaku and anime>both of them took everything EVA did and shoved it into the LN market>if he hates them now he hates his own writing and admits he was the problemHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Catering to the global market opens Japan up to cultural invasion. People who thinks Japan is too liberal with their lolis and waifus and netorares will want to censor and change any Japanese culture they can grab on.By ignoring how the west feels we can preserve the beauty of free speech in Japan.
>>284733790QRD on the Hyogo prefecture governor?
>>284744288>limit your market to one tiny island. >purposefully refuse to consider the global market which is orders of magnitude larger.It's like buddy is allergic to money or something
>>284726095The god of manga said boys
>>284747639Refusing to alter material to appeal to western sensibilities isn't blocking off the market. They're free to enjoy it.
>>284744517slowpoke.jpg
Anno is a fraud
>>284727901He didn't do that on purpose, the overseas market barely even existed at that time.
Interesting way to say I should pirate the movie without even feeling bad for not supporting it.
>>284727476it doesn't. it's a clear non-sequitur
>>284726095Whose feeling is he describing? His own, or the anime viewers'?
>>284729951It panders to Japanese westaboos. Not to actual westoids.
>>284735178I haven't seen a high quality of this image being posted here, so have this, it is official and was included in a Evangelion artwork which had a section where different (commissioned and fans alike) artists would draw characters from the show, pic related was drawn by Mine Yoshizaki (Keroro Gunso's author), I don't think they ever showed Rei's nipples in the anime, but they did show them in the movies, Asuka was mostly ignored in terms of fanservice when compared to how much fanservice Rei got in those
>>284725304I'm indifferent to evashit but this is a simple fact, the more woke slop anime gets the less appealing. We can see that in how tame it's been in showing nipples or boobs lately. That's the first step of globohomo taking action
>>284725304Why is Anno so antisemitic?
>>284725304>the rebuilds aren't dogshit. The audience needs to adapt to understand them.
>>284729951>antagonists patterned after Prussians/Nazis while the better faction are patterned after the western neoliberal NATO allianceWe need an actual side story where the good guys win, I might be ignorant if it exists already
>>284748553
>>284748641They look better in End Of Eva
>>284725304He's made his money, of course he doesn't give a shit about who to market to now.
>>284748553>>284748663And lastly, but not least, the concept art
>>284748553>>284748680Asuka got the feet service
>>284747639First you should recognize why anime got popular in the first place.
>>284741707>fertile women past puberty will be sexualizedbased
>>284748698Based
>>284748017Gooks and Chinks have only gotten this far by pretending to be Japs and copying their aesthetic. No Koreacrap and chink garbage has every reached the same heights as JP anime/manga/video games.
And the funniest part is the transparent chick faggot mods that delete the posts saying their shit stinks and Japanese media will always be better ON AN IMAGEBOARD FOR JAPANESE MEDIA
>>284748448That's a big hat
>>284732511Not at all. And if anyone's the tourist it's you. I've been here longer than you have, know your place
>>284732842>Otaku media has always been woke since the very startYou don't know what that word means
>>284738742>Just read the articleprobably the only one who did ITT
>>284749110It means whatever the person who wrote it wants it to mean.

I think the way it actually plays out is it doesn't matter how different your culture is, if you make a high enough quality product you will actually change the world (make them into weebs).
>>284749127Whatever he said can already be implied by the OP image, its just that /a/ nowadays is literally just reddit but with unbannable schizos so a jap saying he wants to make anime for japs is "controversial" now.
>>284748553lel
Anime is already global. They don't need to change shit.
>>284749854I don't know how controversial it is, but it's definitely unusual.Every few months there's a new interview where some anime production person talks proudly about how they're increasing profits and cultural impact by cutting elements that may hinder a work's international success, such as excessive nudity.
>>284732842All the names in your screenshot are male. That's enough proof that it's not woke.
>>284747753TIme to kill him for be unworthy then.
>>284748173Who knew that the side of "Being stuck in Japan only forever" are equally retarded as the censorship for "political correctness"....
>>284748729I thought puberty usually lasted until 16 years?

>>284732842>Who gave characters of his Mobile Suit Gundam Islamic namesAh yes like Amuro Ray, Char Aznable, and Bright Noa
I'm watching 4.0 for the first time, and the subs I'm using call Toji "Tohji" and Gendo "Gendoh". What the fuck is this about and who made these subs?
>>284753003The retarded anglos who the japanese corporations still pay in secret and always accuse of being the "whole west", of course.
>>284736393>japanese people dont have a concept of thatLurk 5 years before posting zoomie.
>>284725304If all of japanese producers still had this mindset anime would still be alive
>>284753156No I mean where do the subs come from. Is this Crunchyroll, or an aggresively stupid weeb?
>>284753570Say the social inept coward.
>>284726236No? What the fuck? Those two games globalmaxxed, you lunatic.
>>284754081>Those two games globalmaxxedQuite the opposite. Those games were made for the people who made them and no one else. The sales reflected this perfectly.
