Why has the west never made an animated series like Cowboy Bebop? Or hell even something worse than that but in the same vein of adult animation like Gits sac, Baccano, Space Dandy, Planetes etc. ?
>>
>>148665628
Because studios in the west aren't interested in funding that stuff you dunderhead
>>
>>148665652
Why is that?
>>
>>148665628
No talent
>>
>>148665628
The west doesn’t like sci-fi kino in animation. They only like it in la.
>>
>>148665756
>>148665833
That's unfortunate.
>>
>>148665628
The fact a troon appears makes people here hate it, but depending on how Lazarus ends it could be this. It can either have an ending that ties everything together or have a bullshit ending that ruins everything.

It’s easier to make calarts slop with 0 effort than to make something that actually has some decent character. writing.
>>
>>148665628
It’s basically what Lazarus is. Yes, it’s made by Watanabe with a Japanese studio but it’s being funded and influenced by the west. Thats as close to the west making Bebop as you are ever gonna get because western studios and creators don’t have the talent needed to make this type of content on their own
>>
>>148665699
1. Animation still has a stigma in the west that it’s either for poopfart comedy or children. Something like Bebop is too serious and adult oriented to survive in the west
2. If someone actually did attempt it, they would just be accused of copying Bebop
>>
>>148665877
>>148665848
Dropped it the second a troon showed up. Fuck your woke shit shitlibs.

You mean a serious drama-driven show that happens to be a cartoon? I guess Arcane wasn't too far. Not exactly at the same level of artistic expression, but it was something.

But I imagine economics is the real reason.
>>
>>148665628
>Bebop
Too popular to emulate without people immediately writing it off as a Bebop clone. Same reason the west won’t copy stuff like DBZ, the project will be roasted as an imitator immediately and never take off
>GitS
Cyberpunk is played out
>Baccano
This type of storytelling would be a disaster if presented to western audiences who are used to things being extremely linear. DRRR aired on AS and bombed for this reason
>Space Dandy
This was basically just an animation anthology series for Japanese animators. There are too few western animators with a unique style who could fill out a project like this

Yeah sorry bro, closest we ever got to sincere adult drama cartoon that wasn't ashamed of being a cartoon was probably pantheon and maybe infinity train. Both were flawed but clearly ambitious. Or, and I know this sounds insane, but final space. It's a lot like Orville where it probably would have been an unironic sincere science fiction show but that wouldn't have been greenlit.

The Netflix "anime" are almost there but those creators only seem interested in making edgeslop. We'll probably get a good one eventually.
>>
>>148665628
Because all the millennial artists would rather just steal scenes and call them "homages" same thing with Akira. All they wanna make is yuri bait dogshit. Thankfully that faggot shit doesn't sell anymore because the normies have finally woken up and started saying faggot publicly again.

Also Western studios don't give a fuck about the Japs unless they need a studio to outsource to. There's still no word on that Wacky Races Anime by the Pop Team Epic guy.
>>
>>148665628
Because we have live-action for that kind of stuff. Animation is for studios that can’t afford special effects.

2. /a/ is raiding us, not the other way around, retard.
3. These threads are posted at least several times a week, you cancer defending troglodyte.
4. Anime doesn't belong here, dipshit.

The character barely mentioned she's trans. It was more or less just a way to have a woman who is the patron of the outcasts to have also been in prison with a male main character. That's enough to trigger you?

Cool! This isn't an anime thread and let me tell you—you're obviously a zoom zoom newfaggot if you honestly believe discussing anime as an auxiliary to western cartoons isn't already established convention here.

Open pic related, this screencap exists because we don't get assblasted over segregating the animation medium.

>"but /co/ threads would get drowned out"
No, you just gotta try to make actual interesting threads. And besides there's Toonami threads on Saturday and the PPGZ threads. Not to mention I saw a Samurai Pizza Cats thread about a month ago. Stop gatekeeping animation and keeping it separated by nations. We are all the same.

/a/'s no tolerance elitism is derived from their moderation practices.

I think Hilda could have come close except for the music. However i think the comic might have been inspired by Calvin and Hobbes comics but i might be reading to far in to her and Twig walking on a log over a creek.

You're safe, but still a retard.

We've talked about that dozens of times already
It's not a secret that Tezuka sent letters to Barks
>>
I go to /co/ for non-cape comic discussion these days
An /a/ merge would ruin everything

Can we go back to the subject? Also for people that are saying that everyone would make fun of a CB copy, you don’t need to make it a ripoff! You just need to understand why it works and borrow some elements for your series.
>>
>>148667115
Skill issue, gotta lock in and hope enough people will care about your thread.
>>
>>148667121
Birchy why are you trying to sound a generation younger than you actually are
>>
>>148667120
>Can we go back to the subject?
No, this is what OP probably wanted anyways
Anyone who wants /a/ discussion on /co/ hates /co/
>>
>>148667060
If you honestly believe that that thread was ‘a typical east vs. west’ thread then you're a lost cause.
There's no point in trying to attempt to persuade in good faith with someone close-minded on the matter of /a/'s treatment of comics and /co/'s treatment.

Enjoy pasting pastas with the local (You) farmers about the logistics of comic distribution and the public transit habits to people whom are equally close-minded on why we're getting outcompeted to weeb slop.
You'll be wasting effort with regular shitposters here since unlike /a/, the people here are significantly less likely to have ever purchased comic, nor borrowed a graphic from a library (I'm confident most elementary schools have Bone available, like I did in my middle of nowhere British Columbia coal mining town).
>>
>>148666970
Lol. Toonam is talking about shonen stuff 99% of the time. Guess what, /a/ has everal shonen threads. It’s the exact same shit.
>>
>>148667115
Comics these days suck anon, nobody buys them and they're being outsold by Manga.
>>148667120
>Can we go back to the subject?
Nobody is stopping you from speaking anon.
>>
>>148667121
Birchy, if that's you
The Astrid Bromure thread could have never lasted on /a/, I hope you know that

>>148667127
The OP was literally the fucking Demon Slayer article
>>
On average /a/ is more technologically literate than /co/. That’s the one thing I will give them.
>>
>>148665628
This is like asking why Japan hasn’t made a Looney Tunes series. It’s the East’s series
It’s theirs and they don’t want to have others make it
>>
>>148667132
>Comics these days suck anon,
I talk mostly about old stuff
I like talking about obscure media and an /a/ merge would make it even harder
>>
>>148667120
>Can we go back to the subject?
Too late. The retard whining about /a/ and demanding we report OP has already detailed the thread into an intra-board culture discussion.
Blame him.
>>
The fun part about these threads is that Birchypedo actually stops spamming other threads in the catalog because he’s too roped into his “I totally can’t be recognized if I drop my trip” gimmick, peak useful idiot behavior
>>
>>148667127
Prove /a/ likes western comics
Prove /a/ can respectfully talk about western comic artists and writers by name
None from that April Fools thread because /co/ Anons were blatantly there on that day for obvious reasons
>>
>>148667136
>Astrid Bromure
Who? See that's why I don't follow modern comics because they have the most forgettable names. Let me guess she's black and fat and gay? What are her powers?
>>148667142
They are. Only person here good with tech is that one anon who making the Murder Drones robot waifu.
>>148667146
Then lock in.
>>148667148
Nobody is stopping you from talking about the subject anon, you're the one replying and prolonging it thus derailing the thread.
>>
>>148667143
But Japan has made plenty of anime that rely on slapstick but with more japanese sensibilities and that’s exactly what I want for cartoon. Not an exact copy of cowboy bebop but rather something that incorporates the writing and directing in a western cartoon
>>
>>148667136
Keep scrolling, you'll see it like I did and since /a/ was getting flooding with /co/ refugees, it's only natural you'd open a thread with banter with the new arrivals.
I know… imageboard users like taking jabs with each other.
It's not like /v/ & /int/ doesn't already habitually do this.
>>
>>148667161
>Who? See that's why I don't follow modern comics because they have the most forgettable names
French comic about the misadventures of a little rich girl
Not superhero
Not American
>>
The way he keeps saying to lock in explains why he thinks zoomers/gen alpha are some carbon copy of himself, he literally has some personality disorder
>>
>>148667167
Except the talking points have been brought up on /co/ before that thread came
There's more proof the people who actually knew their shit were /co/ Anons
>>
>>148667136
>Birchy, if that's you
Nope been lurking for now. I made like 2 posts for this whole thread.
I seriously didn't know there were autists this passionate about a merger with another board
>>
>>148667161
>All comics are capeshit
I hate you
>>
>>148667161
Astrid Bromure is a comic about a girl from France. Imagine Madeline but more wackier. I kinda doubt /a/ would warm up to her, or maybe they will.
>>
I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY OP YOU FUCKING FAG
>>
>>148667170
What?
>>148667184
They mostly are, name one successful comic in the past year that outperformed manga.
>>148667187
Fuck off retard you don't associate with us.
>>
>>148667190
It's kinda funny ngl
Reminds me of 2009 with like 2x times the autists
>>
>>148667187
At least there's some light in this thread, she looks cute I guess
>>
>>148667160
>/a/ users posted an east>west thread during april fools. They hate us
>nah only /co/ users were ITT

If you honestly believe regular /a/ users avoided a thread with an image demon slayer being their own cultural champion you're divorced from reality.

Better yet:
Provide evidence that everyone there was a /co/ regular.
Provide evidence that no one there was a manga reader.
Provide evidence that you somehow know the posting history of EVERYONE in that thread like you boldly claim.

Oh wait… you can't, because you're not a moderator and even if you were you can't admit that you did have access to everyones posting history.

Your claim that that thread was 100% made up of /co/ posters is by itself asinine (and impossible to substantiate), but also less probable than /a/ users browsing their home board's catalog and posting in a new comics thread that's temporarily allowed on /a/.

Is there just like 5 people using this board now? Man the shutdown has brought the worst out in all of you.
>>
>>148667194
>They mostly are
If we're talking Burgerland and limit ourselves to the direct market sure
But if you actually bothered to expand your horizons you'd know there's plenty of non-cape out there
>name one successful comic in the past year that outperformed manga.
Has nothing to do with my point
If a comic made in a third world country and sold 5 copies was good, I'd still try to talk about it on /co/
A board merger would make it harder

>>name one successful comic in the past year that outperformed manga.

You just don't have an actual awnser. You know you just won't say it.

I didn't say that
I said the idea that /a/ Anons knew better than us is illogical because the EXACT SAME FUCKING TALKING POINTS HAVE BEEN POSTED ON /co/ IN THE PAST
It was all by all means a typical ordinary East vs West thread that wasn't as terrible as usual because it was April fucking Fools and every thread went fast on that day
