Is it actually good or is it just more Netflix woke slop? I heard somebody compared it to Samurai Jack, which is arguably one of the best animated shows ever made IMO
>>215103192Good comparison. Just the regular old samurai seeking revenge flick as an animated series.
>>215103293I haven’t seen it, but I keep getting shorts of the Irish villan in my suggested and he seems like a total badass
>>215103366He is one hell of a motherfucker. But there´s a scene where he gets pegged with a nosy mask while conducting business in a brothel. No, yo don´t see anything, but you get a "Did I say stop?"
>>215103192I usually don't watch cartoons or woke slop but I really like it. Hope it gets a second season.
>>215103541> woke slop Is it one of those all White men bad, all non-Whites good shows, with a Mary Sue lead that is smarter faster stronger better than everyone around her despite zero training or character development?
>>215103541It does, 2026.
>>215103192It's pretty fucking great.
The villian and his motivations are pretty grounded for anime, kinda how ninja scroll was just about getting gold and armaments.
>>215103192People who are like "zoomers hate da sex wahh" don't worry you get plenty of sex in this.
>>215103192It's good, but there were many parts that I thought should have been done better. Like my reaction was "someone who really knows samurai/fighting shows wouldn't do that."
>>215103192>In Edo-period Japan, a mixed-race warrior named Mizu, despised for her blue eyes, embarks on a bloody quest for revenge against the four white men who could be her father. Disguising herself as a man, she travels across Japan, gathering both allies and enemies along the wayit is anti-White
>>215104119Its not anti-white its a girl that has daddy issues
>>215104251No matter what it is anti it seems like mary sue girlboss power fantasy faggot shit with animated sex scenes for hentai obsessed transsexuals
>>215104273That doesn’t sound like Samurai Jack, lmao
>>215104251she hates that she is half White and wants to kill White men. if that is not anti-White then what is?
>>215104251no its vehemently anti White and the White villain spews out stereotypical leftist talking points like making the asian hate their non western beauty standards>>215104119you're forgetting to add the pampered (literal)princess gurlboss that cries about being oppressed
>>215103192IT's a netflix show you fucking imbecile, what the fucking fuck do you expect from it.
>>215104273girl boss in the sense that she's a badass but she's as much of a mary sue as luke skywalker is a gary stu rather than being like rey, she gets her ass beat and has to grow as a character and gain experience in order to get stronger and overcome the various circumstances the story throws at her
>>215104348>you're forgetting to add the pampered (literal)princess gurlboss that cries about being oppressedand becomes the top whore without having to fuck anyone because sexwork is empowering but actual sex is demeaning. oh she also hates japanese culture and its beauty standards
>>215104382Uhh based? I will now watch your movie.
>>215103192
>>215104348My biggest problem with this show is how she shrugs off fatal or debilitating injuries like she's the terminator. And they don't escalate the fight scenes properly because of that. Normally in a fight the hero would gradually get more beat up until narrowly defeating the enemy at the end. In this show she'll take a mortal sword wound or break a limb or something at the beginning of the fight and then beat their asses.
>>215103583Nah. I mean the only europeans there are villains, but that's because there's only a handful and they're all arms dealers.
>>215103192its pretty goodkinda scary that gajin can now make non shit anime
>>215104348>>215103583These posts are contradictory. I would rather believe the older post however since this animation looks like complete shit and is directed/written by self hating white faggots
happa woman power/fantasy wish fullfiment nonsense. main character gets to have a white feature but simultaneously gets to be violent because people hate them for it so the writer can never "truly" be accused of fetishizing the white feature, its a curse for the character after all! the equivalent would be a story about a mutt guy who has a massive black penis and the story is about how he mostly passes as white but if you look close at his pants you see the outline of his massive black penis and racists want to kill him because of his massive black penisno thanks, pass
>>215104576>the equivalent would be a story about a mutt guy who has a massive black penis and the story is about how he mostly passes as white but if you look close at his pants you see the outline of his massive black penis and racists want to kill him because of his massive black penissomebody hire this man because he's pissing away solid gold on a mongolian underwater snake charming forum
>>215104119>>215103192>it’s a world, ostensibly like ours, where women are oppressed due to being the weaker sex>but there is one woman who is more powerful than any man in terms of martial prowess>why is this? Women are weak in all other cases, is this woman endowed with special power or given a legendary weapon?>no, she just bothered to train by watching a blacksmith’s customers>this means every other woman is actually just too retarded and or lazy to bother and thus allows themselves to be oppressed simply because they don’t bother to get betterit’s impressively anti-feminist/misogynist I found the writing poor and disingenuous, but it was aesthetically pleasing at times
>>215104576American Anon, at some point the world isn't about black dicks.
>>215104576But White features are the global standard for beauty, and…> black penisUniversally agreed disgusting outside of fetish circles and jew propaganda >these two are not the same
>>215104501you mean like a Mission Impossible or Die Hard movie?
>>215103915I didn't like the fights. Seemed they overcompensated with the gore to make up for the lack of atmosphere, choreography, etc
>protagonists motivation is insane, unhinged, and racist, thinking herself a "monster" for her white feature>could be fine if the series handled it with care or balance, but the series conveniently sidesteps having to confront her questionable morals by making every potential father she's tracking down, be a horrible terrible unquestionably evil rapist murderer person yawn doesnt even begin to describe how boring and predictable it all is
>>215104605>I found the writing poor and disingenuousA lot of the writing felt like it was what they thought was intelligent, rather than actually being intelligent. If that makes sense.
>>215103192It's pretty good which was a surprise to everyone, specially with the contents being mixed race Boss Girl going after the only 4 white men in Japan. Characters are well developed, villain is fucking great and the samurai girl actually has to earn her fights and gets her ass kicked a lot for being too harsh and small. It's not perfect, but she's an easy pass.
>REEEEEE HOW COULD OTOU-SAN MAKE ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND DESIRABLE RACIAL COMBINATION ON THE PLANET?!>THIS IS DISHONORABURU AND I MUST FINDU AND KIRR HIM!!!!!!
>>215104668How could such an obvious retard shill come in, knee deep into this thread, and drop such an enormous lie ridden turd of a post? This bait worked on me.
>>215103192I don't like how she kept getting injured. Cute hapa girls should be protected, not bullied.
>>215104633Bruce doesn't get shot at the beginning of Die Hard, he gets more fucked up as the movie goes on. Hapa chick will get stabbed towards the beginning of a fight and then start performing better.
>>215104754>Cute hapa girls should be protected, not bullied
>>215104327>it is anti-WhiteBut characters inside the show tell her she's dumb a dozen times. >that one guy that accepts her as she is but she can't let it go>those people who found her mixed heritage and found her an abomination and her mother a slut>the madame at the gueisha house who says she doesn't know herself and that's why she loses 90% of her fights or wins but at the cost of being beaten nearly to deathAnd the lists go on. Everyone tells her that her path is crooked and it will bring nothing but pain but she goes "ME STRONG WOMAN ME WANTS REVENGE" and each step makes her lose something dear. Too bad the producers will probably be faggots and not give her a proper bad ending where she loses everything or turns into a monster just like her father, people can't take kino endings.
>>215104576>main character gets to have a white featurefunny enough her skin is also darker than most of/all the japanese characters
>>215104605>>no, she just bothered to train by watching a blacksmith’s customersworse than that, she watched them and instantly knew all the flaws in their (japanese)style (because the choreographer is chinese)
>>215103192>is it just more woke slop?Did you read the plot synopsis? A mixed race female warrior needs to hunt and kill every white man in Japan. That's literally the plot.
>>215104668>>215103366>>215103793these posts read so inorganicallyI think it’s the hyperbole, or the egregious use of the word fuckingI do not normally think or accuse posts of being shills so maybe I’ve just grown schizophrenic enough
>>215104739People have different tastes? Like I said, it was good, not perfect. I enjoyed watching the show to the point I ignored some shit like the prince/princess subplot or the fat guy without hands, sometimes the show goes full retarded, but damn it's been hard in the last decade, everything is fucking awful, at least I had some fun watching this. If this is not your thing just stop in episode 1 and go after something better.
>>215104779unironically too cute for porn, shame her kike side couldn't stop her from jewing out for money
>>215104779it cant be helped anon, for all you try she will end up gangbanged and beaten, but then she will come ack to you to cry it out on your shoulder, in safety, but no sex, shes hurting down there, give her time, be nice
>>215104858im mostly just disappointed we never got a scene with a handsome fit large peniled white fella lovingly going to town on her and instead we got some freakish mutt with a tiny cock spitting on her
>>215104913the point was to make them cry not feel good
>if i perceive something as woke slop or if my favorite twitter chud account says its woke slop then i cant enjoy it becauselook at what you have become
>>215105020i watched it, it was terrible, 4chan seems to be the only place that calls it out as being bad and even thats pretty new, older threads couldn't stop glazing it. face it you just like this propagandising slop
It's fine. It's neither terrible nor kino. I was mildly entertained.
>>215104841Show is what, 3 years old now? I totally forgot the whole thing before this thread. We all know nu4chan is full of bots but nah, I don't think Niggerflix care that much about shilling the new season one year in advance. But if they do then hire me, that's my dream job, shilling shit all day in this tranny loving board.As for > the egregious use of the word fuckingI am a dumb ESL so maybe that's why.
>>215105020being woke isn’t bad per se, it’s just shit writing that invalidates other character struggles or otherwise compromises the world building or otherwise showcase disingenuous representations of those demographics, see>>215104605different demographics experience the world differently for different reasons, and picking and choosing how they experience the world differently for the sake of (what is likely to be) a “woke” narrative/philosophy is deeply tiresomeironically some of the most “woke” writers in recent times (the literal communist creators of Disco Elysium) understood this: when asked why they didn’t make the main character of their game have whichever gender the player wanted, they replied that it was because men and women experience the world differently: whether it’s walking the street alone or propositioning someone for sex, and thus they would have had to make significant rewrites
>>215105395wokenes breaks immersion, it suddenly becomes about that set of something instead of about the characters or story or art or anything, like you can have stories set in literal concentration camps or slave ships and they dont have to get woke in one instance, just tell the story of a fucked up situation and make whichever point you wanted to make, there is never any reason or point to woke except woke as such, which is fake and gay
>>215103192Our brand new idea never been done before! It's about a woman in a man's world, with a sword.....she hits stuff with the thing! But this one has BLUE eyes!
>>215104841Never reply to me again.
>>215105629how are we defining woke in this instance? I think we could both agree a movie could be about racism/the harms of such/showcase how dignity is still present amongst blacks despite the situation by showing a completely historically plausible example of Africans oppressed by whites on a sugar plantation or somethinga movie can be about racism/oppression/black pride without being woke imo, so long as it doesn’t liehowever movies like The Woman Queen (historically inaccurate to such a degree it would be akin to calling the nazis Jews) or Black Panther (a movie implying that Africans would care about African American struggles, or that a never colonized/invaded country would care about historical colonizers, or that such an advanced nation would literally fist fight for leadership etc) are certainly woke
>215105713
>>215103192It’s pozzed out the ass. Every episode is obsessed with the theme of “reee I am woman and I am angry” and the last episode has the audacity to play a Metallica track with some dyke singing instead of James Hatfield.The people who make this crap hate you. They hate what you love, they hate what you are, they wake up and go to sleep thinking of nothing but how to inject media with ‘subtle’ messaging that belittles you, your friends, your life. They do it because their financiers know it will keep the masses occupied with politics. No Netflix series will ever write villains who abuse tax and regulation loopholes and drain money from the middle class invisibly. That would be “problematic”
>>215103192It's pretty good.
>>215103192The writing seems to be 90 percent netflix woke slop, in the "half breed nikkei has an emotional breakdown about her family issues". way. I didn't like it too much, but I am also Japanese and a harsh grader. Other people may enjoy it more, but please don't take the shit you see there as particularly Japanese. It's slightly below Samurai Jack in that regard.>Samurai Jack90 percent of the quality of Samurai Jack comes from the superb visual storytelling. The remaining 10 percent is Aku and the Scottsman.>>215103583They changed what should have been spaniards and portuguese into english and irish level of race fuckery.
>>215105395>>215105629>>215105759If the point of the show is to promote some particular ideology, then the things that would make a show good are secondary. This gets worse when you have a lot of 'anti-fans' in the audience. A fan will watch something because it has something they think they'll like, and might give other projects a chance if they've liked something from the creators before, or if the producers have funded things they've already liked. An 'anti-fan' will refuse to watch something if it's got anything they think they won't like, they will refuse to give other projects a chance if any of the creators have previously been involved in something they've refused to watch, and they'll try to avoid anything from the same producers. They might also be inclined to discuss online about why the project is bad, and so a lot of the online discourse about it will be made up of people who weren't ever going to give it a chance. Rick & Morty anti-fans are very obvious like this, to the point where their criticism of the show has nothing at all to do with the content of the show, while fans have plenty of criticism of the show but it's entirely different. We also saw a lot of anti-fans for Joker, and they seem to have been the main intended audience for Joker 2.
>>215104633Similar in realisim level. Worse in dramatic tempo. They undercut the action by having huge injuries but not using them for plot, story or drama. It's below the worst shonen shit in that regard. Most porn does a better job here.
>>215105871so essentially, cases that are intended first as propaganda. As well as cases/reviews from people who do not or are otherwise incapable of separating the art from the artistalbeit this is all for works with an American progressive leanthat’s fair
>>215105871The perception is marked by how much you agree with the politics as well. I see this as a polemic on the level of Birth of a Nation. I mean the main character's quest for vengance is quite literally "kill whitey". This feels more disrespectful than AC Shadows.
>215105795Thank you for respecting my wishes.
>>215103192Its alrite. Could, should, be a lot better considering the premise imo.
>>215103192They wait until episode 3 to push their political views, is not the main point of the series but is notorious and immersion breaking. It also has half retarded writers like all series that try to push political garbage, Ok they are usually fully retarded, here they are just half retarded. Some actions of the characters are just totally stupid and forced. Visually it's really good and the Japanese version of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is fantastic but is not used to their full potential.Without the retarded diversity hired writers and the political garbage it could have been a great series. I may pirate the second season.Pic related is another series that is hindered by retarded writers but to a lesser degree.
>>215106408I fear they will double down the politics given the climate and how long it takes for a show like this to be completed, which is a shame. Like you said, without the retard half it's a great show.
>>215105388>dumb ESLExplains your retarded shit taste too
>>215105759I think that it simply has to lie in order to be woke, thats the difference, it has to be tweeked specificaly to fit a model, you cant make something woke without making it fake, cause it requiers things to be posed and collorcoded, as if the event depicted only occured to illustrate a discourse point, it also rquiers the audience to proactively ignore this and pretend they like it, this makes wokeshit different from oldstile propaganda, it requiers active cooperation, the audience has to consciously tell themselves its right and good, like pretending to like your motherinlaws cooking, the moment they stop cooperating with the lie it turns into a joke
>>215103192When you have to first ask if something is woke slop, then likely everything is woke slop since you will never stop looking for wokeness until you find it in your mind
>>215103583The Japs are turbo racist and evil to the main character for being half-white.
>>215106733shh you cant point out things to retards who think everything is woke
>>215106616You must be american, explains your hysterical reaction when people have different opinions
>>215103192its okay, some fight scenes are kind of forced, but its "anime" and all fight scenes in anime are stupid and silly. Also there's a lot of HAPA self loathing seeing that the creator is a self-loathing hapa.
>>215103474that sounds kinda gay desu (to be honest)
>>215103192some of you seem to a have persecution complex as bad as some melamine enriched people, is not that bad, is nor free from slop but could be worse>>215106408 this
>>215107298He's an hedonist roaming free for the first time after being in house arrest for 20 years, iirc there was even something with an octopus.
