Thread 280265121

Okay, 1pm Los Angeles time, or in about 5 hours, we'll get our first look at Hokuto no Ken (2026), or at the very least the casting.
Hopes and fears?

>>280265121 (OP)
It already flopped

>>280265121 (OP)
3d

Are you ready for CGI no Ken?

>>280265306
I recall Hara and co wondering how the TV anime would look with modern tech, hopefully they just meant digital instead of 3D

>>280265121 (OP)
It'll be CGI dogshit

Yomi no tsugai when?

Bets on my first story doing the new OP

>>280266763
Sorry, just leaked, it's Creepy Nuts.

>>280265121 (OP)
Think they'll do part 2?

>>280267243
There is no "part 2", it's all one story.

>>280265121 (OP)
Who care
Its boring shit with the most stiffed fight scene ever, the most barebone story ever, and the most boring MC ever
>B-But muh manly anime
if the only thing you have is muscle and one liner, then i rather watch Kinnikuman

>>280267243
Hara is allergic to part 2 but he did make a special chapter to cover the timeskip transition, so who knows

>>280267335
Counterpoint: It made me feel

>>280267433
>Thowser
>The guy who make children slave to build his own piramid
>but he wus sad boi he kill his sensei
Worse than fucking Naruto
i suspect the whole "evil villain that have sad story so pls feel sorry for them" was due to FoNS keep doing that
And that's why i loath this shit manga

>>280267335
>ESL
fuck off third worlder

>>280267552
I think you can be sad that things had to turn out the way they did for terrible people, but the fact is that Ken still killed those who he understood to be broken people for their crimes. Naruto doesn't do that, he wants to rehabilitate them instead.
Overall, if you don't like it you'd probably do better just not engaging with it.

>>280267698
I don't think Ken ever intentionally spares anyone in the story, he killed souther for his crimes and let him die next to his master only out of pity, raoh was gonna get killed 1v1 until he gave up and took his own life, yuda was rei's encore, I guess Hyoh counts but that's literally his brother going apeshit until he was interrupted
Of all the criticisms you can throw at HnK, Ken mourning what could've been when faced with his enemies is like the least important thing I could think of, especially since it makes him more empathetic. The closest to a protagonist doing that shit in the modern day would probably be Tanjiro or something but he's much softer in everything else.

>>280266048
Who?

>>280265121 (OP)
I've never seen Fist of the North Star. Where do I start?

>>280270175
Episode 1

>>280270360
of what?

>>280270385
The 80s TV anime

>>280270175
I'll be that fag and say: read the manga. If you want to watch the anime, the 80s anime is fun, but it pads a lot and has some flaws (which actually are to its favor, in some ways).
The "VIZ signature" edition is a recently translated version of the "Ultimate edition" which came out around a decade ago. It has some touched up art and some extras, like some lightly colored pages.
The VIZ signature version is up to 17 volumes as of last month (18, the final volume, will come out in September) and is on nyaa. After that you can either wait until September, or read a old fan translation of the Ultimate edition volume 18, also on nyaa.

>>280267243
Better question would be, will they do the part 3? Bat the cuck arc is one of the most funniest and pathetic shit I've seen in shonen.
Or EVEN better, will we ever see an actual sequel to HNK? I recently found that Hara drew this new, original character for the 40th anniversary in 2023. Apparently he drew it for the HNK's gacha game. Some speculated "she" might be some sort of successor to hokuto. Ever since then, it was never mentioned again.

YOU WA SHOCK

>>280270175
Either read the manga or watch the 80s anime from ep 1 to at least the end of Raoh's arc, it has a bit of filler here and there at the beginning but it's mostly fun stuff
The movies are basically all recap movies, the 1986 one is very cool though
The OVAs are purely extra shit
Gaidens can be fun but sometimes shit the bed
Amiba isekai is fun but not translated

>>280271173
For how quickly he was introduced and how long he lasted, Yuuza was a cool dude. Especially in the anime, him rising from the fucking dead to keep fighting Raoh was really metal.

>>280265806
>>280265306
Honestly if they use the ArcSys hand-shading techniques and squash-stretch CG anime can absolutely look as good as 2D or better. People shit on CG because cheap CG is so obvious and terrible but studios have been on this shit ever since spider-verse and it can look great.

The 3D segments of To Be Hero X are vastly better than the 2D segments

>>280271512
the closest thing to that is the Guilty Gear anime and I dropped because it still looked like crap

>>280267404
Buronson is the one that hates part 2

So when is the trailer dropping?

>>280272142
Unclear if there'll be a trailer but there'll be information at least. Should be in an hour or two.

>>280271929
I recall hearing Hara was dissatisfied with the art from that time if I recall, he redrew a ton of stuff for the second half in the Ultimate edition. Supposedly he had an eye disease at the time or something.

>>280268257
>I don't think Ken ever intentionally spares anyone in the story,
What about Raiga and Fuga?

>>280272698
They turned on their master and were willing to stop fighting outright for one. Rei was also pretty creepy when he showed up but he got better, the wasteland turns people into sociopaths.

>>280271310
I thought the one original movie where Kenshiro gets sold into slavery was pretty good

>>280272822
Isn't that an adaptation of a prequel novel?

SAY HIS NAME.

>>280270759
Looks like a female Toki

>>280273457
Uhhh.. Jacky!

>>280274114
Hair is too short.

>it's actually CGI
well fuck

>>280274715
I don't believe you

>>280274715
Realy damn shame, I saw some frames that seemed like digital animation though, but they just couldn't get a normal studio for some reason. Really...

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK FUCK YOU HARA

Well aside from the CG, it seems like Kenshiro will be voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi.

It appears we will not be fighting in the 20s. Fug.

>>280275122
Maybe in the 30s, heh.
Really though, I wonder what made Hara (or just Coamix) so allergic to 2D animation.

>>280274715
>>280274907
You all better be lying.

BERSERK 2016

2

>>280275149
It's Hara's character designs being difficult for 2d animation

>>280275378
I don't care if they'd have to make the movements a bit simpler compared to a lot of modern day animation, if it worked in 1984 it should work now.

>>280275197
>it looks like Regenesis
jfc

>>280275313
I didn't want to believe it but it really looks that way. It would be more tolerable if they handled it like Baki and used CGI fpr the fights, but this is all fucking CGI. Can't wait for the webms cause I won't be watching that shit.

>>280275513
There's at least some frames of actual 2D animation but as far as I see it's literally only for a few things like flowing capes >>280274907
I wonder what the studio is. At the very least I expected them to put a good chunk of money into this since HnK makes a lot on its merchandise, but apparently they wanna skirt on even this.

>>280274948
Please for the love of God someone restore his sight.

>>280275632
I think it'll just get worse with age anon

https://x.com/MangaMoguraRE/status/1941603989201559698

Wrap it up! It's all CG

>>280272393
The weekly WSJ schedule he was keeping up with while drawing with THAT level of detail permanently fucked up the shape of his eye. IIRC his depth perception is kinda gone now and it affects his ability to perceive perspective and proportions

>>280275877
>>280275896
Seems to be mostly 3D with some limited 2D (particularly for the gore or shit like Shin's cape apparently)
I'd assume it's dead on arrival, but since Kengan Ashura got an audience even with its 3D anime, who knows. Either way, this is never matching the 80s anime.

I was expecting CGI slop and was not disappointed. Sadly, HNK (like Berserk) isn't popular enough, despite how influential it is on anime culture, to deserve a big budget adaptation.
Also, we've seen the opening arc a hundred times already in anime, video games, manga etc. They should've come up with something new.

>>280275962
>Kengan Ashura got an audience
Not because of the anime which is practically dead

>>280275962
The anime did nothing for Kengan's popularity in fact most people forgot about it.

>>280275877
Oh fuck no

>>280276000
>Sadly, HNK (like Berserk) isn't popular enough, despite how influential it is on anime culture, to deserve a big budget adaptation.
Has less to do with popularity and more to do with studio interest.
Like, Wit Studio picked up the Yaiba remake because a ton of staff loved Yaiba, one guy in Wit Studio talked about doing a Yaiba remake would be a dream project back in like 2016.
Hokuto no Ken likely just got shopped out to a bunch of studios and the CG one picked it up to show off their CG talent. lol.

>>280276000
FotNS is more or less nearly directly owned by Tetsuo Hara, them going for 3DCG is pretty much just a choice they made. I doubt it had to do with budget.
>Also, we've seen the opening arc a hundred times already in anime, video games, manga etc. They should've come up with something new.
The 2000s movies skipped that arc entirely. I think this would be the second time it would actually be animated in full, which it would have to be (maybe with some alterations for continuity, who knows) for a proper manga adaptation.

>All CG with occasional 2D just like Berserk 2016


FUCKING WHY?!

>>280275896
Oh god is that the berserk 2016 animation

>>280276102
I can also imagine that Yaiba is just way more easier to animate too

>>280267335
>Its boring shit with the most stiffed fight scene ever, the most barebone story ever, and the most boring MC ever
But enough about Kinnikuman.

>>280276162
KnY looks like a mess half the time, I think the animators have way more freedom when working on it in that sense.
What would a Ufotable HnK look like?

Some of the vidya and slot machines had cool cgi cutscenes.
But I doubt a full series would look as good.

>>280267335
How the fuck did Kinnikuman get a high quality adaptation by fucking I.G. yet HnK is stuck with CG shit?

>>280276118
>The 2000s movies skipped that arc entirely.
Not really. We see Kenshiro lose to Shin and Yuria get kidnapped. But the rest of it has already been covered in the original TV show, and about half a dozen different video games.

>>280276162
>way more easier to animate
Nah, they made it way harder on themselves by making it possibly one of the most consistently well animated TV anime just in general. 13 episodes deep and all of them have film quality boarding, animation, directing, etc.
Hokuto no Ken is not a hard show to animate. We know because Toei already animated it. You can very easily take stylistic shortcuts, like a lot of stills, triple takes, postcard memories, etc. and make it look good. Sure, muh sakuga might be harder to do with all the muscles, but you don't need it in every fucking episode.

>>280275877
Grim.

This is reminding me I should finally read the raws of the remastered(?) edition of the manga, the manga in general was always really the only version of HnK I really loved but back then I was quite far from being able to read any moon and relied on the fan scanlations at the time

>>280276267
Anon that's literally a single fight in that arc, the entire arc is a much longer deal. It's like saying you covered Raoh's arc by showing him fighting Juza.

>It's dogshit cgi
I'm going to throw the biggest fucking temper tantrum.

>>280275896
>>280275877
When are Nip executives going to learn that 3D anime is near universally ugly as fuck

>>280276323
But how many times do we need to see Kenshiro lose to Shin and then beat up Shin's mooks? It's been fucking done so many times. There's other arcs from the manga that haven't even been animated, or fucking ask Buronson to write some new shit.

Are you fucking serious? THIS was what they were working on for years? All that secrecy for shit that makes Berserk 2016 look like a passion project?

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHHAHA this is fucking depressing

>>280276230
The publishing company being really interested in 3D since they saw Regenesis apparently
>>280276362
Anon very few people who get into this series has played the games or pachinko or whatever beforehand, they saw the 80s anime and maybe the movie, or read the manga if you're lucky.

>Was revealed in 2023 with a release date for 2024
>2024 goes by with absolutely no information or status
>first art is revealed a week prior to its trailer reveal
>it's CGshit

The signs were very apparent that this was going to be a cluster fuck but why did they wait so long to rip the bandaid off? Surely Warner Bros saw the success of Jojo and didn't think to not halfass this new adaptation by making it CGshit like Kengan right?

>>280276290
The last volume for the english translation should be out soon, I think in a month or two. So you might as well wait until then.

whoever is behind this needs to be raped

Jojofags are laughing at us right now.

Holy fucking kek people waited over 2 years for this shit only for it to turn out to be the same CG shit as the last one

>>280276513
You assume Warner Bros chose the studio. Chances are that Coamix picked the same studio as Regenesis since they're used to working with them.

>>280275896
Berserk won.

>>280275896
>Ken punches the guy onto the camera and breaks it
kek

>>280274259
I want to raise the next generation of Hokuto no Ken users with female Toki.....

>>280276550
Hey at least we might get funny webms.

It's like poetry, it rhymes

Called it >>280265306

>>280276520
To this day I only accept pre-timeskip as the real series so if I felt the need to reread in English I already have what I need there. I've been meaning though to do a proper read in the original moonrunes, especially since shounen manga have furigana for lower reading levels like mine

I would give it a pass if the CGI looked even somewhat okay, but this is just kinda pathetic.

So this... is sakuga

>>280276646
How come they could make a hand-drawn HNK anime 50 years over on a tight budget, but not today?

>>280276790
Kek, it has already begun.

>>280276681
Fair, but then you should just need to pick it up. For anything else I guess you could admire some of the art at least, the full res scans are pretty good (i had to downscale this)
>>280276802
I don't know, maybe they just feel intimidated by having to draw a lot of lines per frame to make it look like they have real noses and stuff. I'd assume that the main issue is just that they're intimidated and that Hara & co think 3D is neat because they're Gen X.

>>280276945

unironically looks better than this

>>280276950
Dai no Daibouken was mostly fine too, which is even more impressive because Toei is notorious for having a reverse midas touch

>>280277104
>absolute kino
dumb zoomer got BTFO as always

>>280277010
>because it looks worse

>>280276802
Most people would complain if a new anime was done in the style of Toei's.
Toei did a lot of cheating- art is FAR less detailed, animation tends to veer into non-existent territory, uses a lot of freeze frames and the like, and most people just don't like that today.
It's sort of like how Berserk '97 also was far less detailed and basically wasn't animated most of the time in the popular sense of the word.

No fucking way they will do the berserk treatment to hokuto. This is like an intentional humiliation ritual to anything manly. To spit on every work that isn't tranime. Aah fuck off will jerk off to Jav to see if the Pain goes away.

The 2026 anime is already dead...

>>280277166
The original 80s anime was also low budget. HNK just seems to be cursed

This is all part of a humiliation ritual that reflects Japan's slow moral degradation. Our society became hopelessly lost by not following Kenshiro's example and there's a reason every Hokuto no Ken work for nigh-on 20 years has been scathing parody or spoofs. This is the final stop. Go back to the original work and intentionally do a shitshow job.

>>280277158
It might be cheating but that's how you gotta do it to make it work. And frankly speaking, that's kind of how the manga also works, Tetsuo Hara did a lot of wonder in making the pages look nice but it doesn't have the same level of dynamic action like Dragon Ball. If anything, animation studios should capitalize on that and make it a still-pilled anime, but in the modern day where every action scene has a camera zipping around 360 degrees I guess that's not common sense.

>finally want to get on reading the HnK storytime
>desuarchive's images have broken

CGI retards won, yay...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMh2ygHlHRs
Why couldn't they do something like this?

>>280275896
Did they not learn from the Fist of the Blue Sky shit?

>>280277338
Honestly every time it seems like shows might stop with that crap, the monkey's paw curls.

>>280270175
I started with the TV show and then watched the 1986 movie afterwards.
The 1986 movie is an abridged and hacked up version of the show/manga's story that I think you'd still get and enjoy even if you haven't seen the show at all.
I love it and watch it every New Year's, which also always makes me pissed off at the censorship every time.
>>280273457
China!

>>280276102
Partly so, but it's also not how that works. The producing company will alocate some kind of budget target for the project. The budget for HnK is probably super low.

>one of the highest grossing franchises in japan
>gets nothing but low budget adaptations for decades
explain this.

Imagine thinking that lazy modern slop animators would be able to animate complex detailed style of HNK. Lmao.

Here, cleanse your palette - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nlwsoyW9rw

>>280277211
I will just watch the movies again

>>280277385
I suspected it would be CG when the "key art" dropped because that was clearly not key art. I kept some hope though because this had Warner animation behind it. But well whatever.

It just sucks that they can't see the obvious potential of the property when even parts 1 and 2 of Jojo were hits. It's either that or old fucks Hara/Buronson having a hard-on for CG animation for some fucking reason.

>>280277424
The TMS movies looked pretty great.

>>280277376
>>280277455
I just wish the writing had been tighter for these movies. They set them up as some kind of anthology but they even contradict their own continuity. Also, Yuria being some kind of psychic was ghey, as was giving everyone a girlfriend.

>>280277455
>>280277482
The movies suffer from being cut down to shit and the voice cast sucking in comparison to the 80s one. Visually they're definitely above average, but they're also movies, so they can't cover the story properly either.

>New Kinnikuman, Yaiba and Nube anime are all good
>New HnK anime is a CGI shitshow
>We'll probably have to wait several decades until they try remaking it again

>>280277514
>several decades
Tetsuo Hara and Buronson will probably be dead or in a retirement home in 2 decades so it has to be fighting in the 40s at least

>>280277424
The authors are retarded and want the anime to look super detailed in every fucking frame just like their art. No studio will do that for a full series specially when it'd cost a fortune.

>>280265121 (OP)
i dont care to much if its made in maya or wwatheever program they use, meanwhile they make a better adaptation deleting the filler episodes, filler characters like that clown that shin had, extremely unnecesary, worse that fake namek, and recapitulation episodes in the middle of the fights its ok. meanwhile its not a complete gargabe like berserk 2016 or dragon ball super super heroes where the movie was running on 10fps and had a lot of framerate problems its ok. also hope they keep the original manga arguments cause they censor some dialogues in the anime. y q tambien la ultima mechita contra raosito no sea tan powerpointesca :V

I mean it looks kind of shit but Regenesis seems to be look ok at times for 3D, is this the same studio or did they unironically pick the Berserk 2016 one?

Anime is dead

I fucking hope so

Maybe someone can run this garabage in some AI and have it spit out proper 2D animation on the other end

>>280275896
Looks atrocious

>>280275896
It looks better than the old Jojo OPs and those didn't look bad. Good model fidelity, shading, lighting and artsyle isn't bad.

So why -do- they make these CG abominations? Who is actually positive about them? Was the Kengan Asura series actually well received? Is that what they point towards when they make these decisions?

I can't even feel anger anymore
All I have is soul-crushing disappointment

I feel like I've woken up from a comma but doesn't Toei own the HnK anime rights?

>>280277010

Hara and Buronson love CG. You could see the writing on the wall when their interview came out back when the remake was announced and they were excited about using "the latest animation tech"

When I actually look into it, yeah, actually. My bad.

How are japs still so blind when it comes to cg?

>>280277794
Do they love CG? Or is that just marketing bs because they know they’ll never get a proper anime again?

NuKinnikuman and the inevitable Baki Dou anime will save Manime. Trust the plan.

Owari da...

3DCG WON'T WORK HARA, IT WON'T WORK.

I dont want to believe the own creators aproved this atrocity because they genuinely think it's good

>>280277992
>>280278002
It's Raover

>>280277957
Every CG anime flops, so it's not that japs are blind but rather the boomer studio executives think that CG is cutting edge and makes their studio look modern

welp back to Kenshiro larping in New Vegas for me, maybe when the franchise hits 50 they'll try again

I guess i'll just go read the manga again

>>280277971
Hara likes it a lot. He talks about it in excitement. It's because he doesn't like the idea of a more stylized/streamlined designs made for animation like David Productions did for Jojo for example, he really wants the animation to look hyper detailed like his artwork and it isn't feasible for a full series. He's a boomer and can't see that it looks fucking garbage in motion.

>>280277712
I guess people liked Dorohedoro and Beastars well enough.

>>280277992

the anime is barely animated tbf

>>280278206
NTA but that'd still be better than hiring a 3D studio to animate it.
I'm still wondering if this is the SnK studio (Polygon) or if it's the Berserk one (Millepensee, GEMBA) or something.
Still, in the end we still have the original anime which at least has OST and voice acting going for it if nothing else.

What do the japs think of this

>>280275896
What surprises me the most is how you can find comments defending it or even excited for it. Of course the number of rejection is still bigger but if it was like 7 years ago you wouldnt find a single positive feedback. The entire state of pop culture has decayed, people started consuming everything regardless the quallity. Things like netflix castlevania, dmc and this shit would be rejected in a way to make everyone involved kill themselves.

>>280277400
>The budget for HnK is probably super low.
how can this happen when they make billion thanks to pachinko

>>280278152
Japan hasn't made an actual good looking anime in a long, long time. Digital killed anime 25 years ago and it's been getting worse every year as they use more CG components, have essentially made it so that the only things hand drawn in any given scene are the central characters, use literal images pulled from Google for backgrounds, hire people who have no idea about coloring or lighting so everything looks like eye raping washed out slop with photoshop effects everywhere, and if they're really feeling cheap they farm everything out to chinks and vietnamese or Flips if they're feeling particularly Scroogeish.

>>280275896
This industry is a fucking joke.

>>280278304
I think it's just the state of things, we aren't getting a good HnK anime out of nothing at this point without waiting until Hara and Buronson are in the retirement home. So there's not much you can do but say "Oh but it might still be okay." and honestly they're not wrong either. They might still enjoy it even if the quality is pretty shit.

>>280278206
No but there is a difference between 90% CGI stills and pretty looking 2D stills. David at least gets the atmosphere and colors right and there is passion behind their projects.

>>280278379
If only the animation wasn't dogshit

>>280278078
Looks like he is stuck with the 90's mindset when any subpar CGi looked amazing just because it was novelty and there wasn't anything else to compare it. Like, I fucking love Transformers Beast Wars and ReBoot but I recognize that both series are an eyesore for modern standards.

>>280278363
Basically this. You can see their name plastered all over this. They have some "Hokuto comitee" that oversees the animation.

>>280278379
Araki was ok and gave his blessing to the simplified redesigns made specifically for animation, Hara and Buronson don't want that.

>>280278400
A HnK anime with the standards of part 1/part 2 would still look better than 90% of the 80s series if I had to be real. Of course the really good stuff is hard to match though... I think what made the Toei anime more than anything else was the directing, while working with a low budget they still managed to make shit feel impactful.

>>280275896
>CGshit
Goddamnit.

Sorry boomers, only Isekais and shows with cute girls get good animations.

I think the only good cgi anime I watched was that gantz movie and It was a movie.

>>280277643
>PS4 QUALITY CG
I fucking wish this adaptation had PS4 quality CG.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkNZIr0vvN8

>>280278304
That's just the way it goes if things get worse in a hobby. People with a certain standard or expectation move on

>they switched the voice actors AGAIN
but why, they had the entire cast in legends revive already

>>280278336
I hate it because I noticed that I care more and more about the look of an anime the older I get. Maybe it's because I am a drawfag and constantly improving my own skills make me notice crappy art and bland faces more consequently but I literally cannot watch mediocre looking shit anymore. It just doesn't work if the colors are flat and washed-out, the backgrounds open source cgi crap or when the faces fail to convey emotions because the animators can't draw or something. I hate it. But I kinda wish I could watch and enjoy QUALITY shit as I did when I was a teen or 20. I was largely oblivious to that stuff back then. the typical "if the plot is fine I will love it" fag. Good times.

>>280278435
>A HnK anime with the standards of part 1/part 2 would still look better than 90% of the 80s series
Dumb zoomer.

>>280277971
IIRC said something among the lines of "In the past, we were never involved with the anime because the technology to properly replicate the art style wasn't available and animation had to take shortcuts, so we weren't interested. Now with new starte of the art technologies we can fully realize our vision"

/m/ here, just want to say that CGi is the reason why mecha anime became irrelevant since no one wants to animate hand-drawn robots anymore.

>>280278273
>>280278379
I envy you guys for not having seen their Spriggan adaptation.

>>280278479
>>280277643
The pachinko animation looks better than this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPjP1lcmFlk
Granted, it's just for some pachinko cutscenes.
I think they had one where they used 2D animation too, it was nothing impressive visually but it at least looked ok.

>>280278400
Yeah I didn't say it's good by any means. My point is just that it's at least better than THIS. This is sadly Berserk 2016 tier.
God I miss the times when studios managed to create anime like the first Berserk series without even having much of a budget.

>>280278304
It does a lot of things better that plenty of 2d shows can't even get right. Impactful hits, good use of color, lighting, shading. There's plenty of 2d shows that were well-received that look like total dogshit compared to this. Especially the ones that used 3D for their big action sequences.

I can't say it'll be good but it's not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.

>>280278506
I watched the entire 80s anime recently, just looking at it from a pure animation and drawing standpoint the original has the pros of being cel animation but lags in almost everything else but directing, music and voice acting. The 1986 movie mogs any Jojo part though.

>stylized as fuck
>but it's CG
fuuuuuck yooooooooou
the models are sick but, like most CGshit, every single movement is stiff

>Godfather of Shonen gets CGslop that looks even worse than Berserk 2016
>Meanwhile some seasonal moeblob pile of SHIT will have the most glorious 2D animation known to man

If I wanted to see a re-telling of HNK in CGI I can just watch 8 hours of Ken's Rage 2 cut-scenes.
Or lost paradise. Or any of the dozen 3d video games.

>>280278595
Ken vaulting over the man to knee-drop his spine was pretty slick. Good impact, too.

>>280278597
Guess which one is more popular with Otakus.

There's always the manga I guess

I'm so sad.

>>280278304
Like with everything else I blame phones for this. I know a bunch of phone fags that watch anime (dubbed) on their phone while sitting in the subway or something. I noticed that crappy art is generally doing numbers these days. Stuff nobody would have clicked ten years ago. And nobody seems to notice obvious AI shit either outside of 4chan maybe.
It's probably a mix between plebeian mindset (remember that most people are deliberately watching tons of ads instead of blocking them because they are fine with it) and tiny phone screens that make everything look less bad simply for being tiny as shit. Add to that that many watchers are barely attentive and probably switching back and forth between the episode and ticktok.

>>280275223
>The staff stated that the CG-based anime will be more true to the original work.
This sounds good on paper but doing a 1:1 manga adaptation isn't the best idea. The manga moves at a breakneck pace and the 80s anime slowed it down a bit to let characters like Shin breathe a bit more instead of just immediately showing up and dying.
>>280275473
Lmao that is literally just the average Yakuza cutscene.

>>280275896
I'm usually pretty open minded and optimistic, but no as someone who's just seen the og a month this looks like complete shit.

at least they would have made it look better with their fake 3d

>>280278571
>but it's not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.
Yes it is, you fucking shill.

>>280278453
Isekai look like garbage too. The only decent looking one I have seen was MT.

>>280277514
i heard they also going to rape Nube sensei

>>280278633
Otakus are retard niggerfaggots

>>280278633
real otaku are not mutts like you

>>280278633
guess which one is still remembered and culturally relevant after 40 years

>>280278674
As the old Carlin saying goes, think of how stupid the average person is and realize half of them are even stupider than that. But smartphones and social media have turned people even more into unthinking zombies to the point where even being NPCs would be an upgrade for them.

>>280278379
Part 1 and 2 had really good scenarios and art direction overall, pretty imersive. Part 3 in my opinion had a downgrade but still good enough.

>>280278571
>but it's not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be
And how is that any endorsement?

>>280278789
the one fujos love

>>280278756
Honestly even with the censorship it is at least 2D and decently animated action wise.

>>280278801
I'm just a fan of hating things for the right reasons. When 3d shit like this is doing some things better than a lot of 2D shows, it's worth bringing up even if just as a point of shame towards them.

>>280278304
Anon, you don't understand, this trailer is filled with a lot of aura farming.

We simply can't ever get good seinen or shounen anime with adult male characters anymore. Fable, Berserk, Terraformars, Househusband, etc. it's all doomed from the start.

>>280278848
NTA but I can't recall any isekai having a fujo fanbase, HnK having a whole suite of strong and iconic male characters unironically has more.

>>280278873
Shit is shit. Doesn’t matter if it’s not *quite* as shit as you might think it is.

>>280278862
did you watch the original anime?
i never did but i saw some clip of onsen and the blonde lolipai

>>280278900
Animating muscles is hard, please understand.

Maybe when AI becomes advanced enough that animation becomes much cheaper.

>>280278711
Hero X is also good looking. CGI anime usually look really bad.

>>280278904
fujos are not into muscle homo thats why Saint Seiya and Rose of Versailles are the goat also thanks to Shingo Araki art

it's over...

>>280278980
they like Golden Kamuy and Baki though

Anime starts with
>Mangaka would like formally apologize for the second half of Fist of the North Star. None of that shit is canon. Yuri is still alive. Please be excited, thank you.

>>280278674
>switching back and forth between the episode and ticktok.
This is something I noticed. Most people don't even pay attention to what they are watching anymore, they just want some background sound so they play whatever is in the first page of netflix for example. And I also blame millenials for destroying gatekeeping by doing video essays and resuming things for people.

>>280278980
they are but those aren't isekai

>>280278966
I tried to watch Hero X but the pacing in the first episode is absolute dogshit, it felt like they cramped 3 episodes in a single one. Is the rest of the series like that?

>>280278986
>fujos like Baki
Do they really?

now i understand why they didnt show it at Japan Expo the french would have riot like crazy

>>280276681
>To this day I only accept pre-timeskip as the real series
Celestial Emperor would have been fine without the Lin is really a princess twist. Shura is shit though even if individual characters (Han) are based.

>>280279037
only his furry daughter

>>280279037
Baki is literally gayer than yaoi, so yeah

>>280278795
It literally killed off any individuality. It was fun discussing shit with people in the past, even with stupider people or people that politically disagreed with me. Now there are like two brainwashed factions and almost everybody belongs to one of them. Boomers are honestly just as easily influenced my social media shit as zoomers are, just differently. The only normal groups seem to be people in their 80s because they were already too old for phones when they came, they only casually use what's app to talk to their family and that's it.

>>280278937
And even worse, Kill AI fags

>>280279037
they made a dorama about a crazy fujo that became obsessed with the series

>>280278981
kino...

All things considered, Kinnikuman got lucky

>>280276945
I've always had a soft spot for this OP, it feels like the attract mode for some early 2000s fighting game arcade cabinet you've never heard of

>>280279092
I fucking hate AI too, but if it becomes something like where you can hand draw the main key frames and have it animate the in between frames it'd be ok I guess. If it cuts workload in half at least that's already worth it

i'm going to kill myself tonight. this was the final straw.

>>280278798
It also helped that the first two parts had an absolute banger OST. I will forever be mad at the sound director for cutting so much that the second composer quit and never returned.

>>280279110
Where do I start with Kinnikuman as far as the anime is concerned? Or am i forced to start with the manga instead?

>>280278373
>Saru Science
>faithful to the manga and not Oshii pretentious slop or Kamiyama soulless slop

I have very little to remain skeptical over

>>280279110
is Akira Kamiya still acting on it?

>>280279110
It looks amazing but I'm still sad that wasn't a modernized remake. The new arc is pretty much only fanservice and you can't really use it to introduce new people to the series

>>280278336
Frieren is still better than the anime you have nostalgia goggles for though.

Now I hope Otokojuku stays dead forever. I don't want to see the best tournament arc in shounenshit history made in CGi crap

>>280278304
>What surprises me the most is how you can find comments defending it or even excited for it.
A lot of those are bots.

>>280279158
Yes, the Toei anime is fucking unbearable to watch with all the shitty gag filler scenes and non canon characters they added.

>>280276513
>he signs were very apparent that this was going to be a cluster fuck but why did they wait so long to rip the bandaid off?
The signs were apparent it was going to be cheap CG slop when it was announced. Can you think of an action anime aimed at an older crowd in the last 10 years that WASN'T CG slop? Berserk, Kengan, Baki, Fist of the Blue Sky, Vinland Saga... it's fucking depressing that as soon as an anime of that type is announced you know exactly what it's going to be.

>>280279149
Don't do it anon, master the art of nothingness by using your sadness.

I don't come to /a/ much these days but I had to after seeing that trailer and I knew there'd be a thread on this and it's the first thread I see lmao

holy fucking shit what utter garbage

I've seen the Jap casino slaves playing Fist of the North Star, just hammering all their money into those machines, and the animation on them looks a million times better. Maybe this is to just get people into the panchinko if they want to see some actually nice animation?

>>280279230
Same, I needed a place to vent my frustration.

>>280278980
You're under the delusional that just having muscles = bara shit, what girls like is just the male characters having the retarded chemistry they like and some looking handsome in the face.
In that sense, characters like Rei or Toki I would suppose would be pretty appealing.
There's girls who cream their pants over Vegeta despite him being a muscle manlet. Some of those girls are apparently into combat sports if I recall.
Fujos specifically are more of a mystery though, they only like to imagine characters as fags when they're not too burly but that doesn't necessarily hold back yumes I think.

>>280279234
kaiji S3 had a really good one, too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyU5K-NroKc

>>280278922
Some of it. I had it downloaded but my external drive failed a while ago and I need to redownload everything.

But anyway, the first two episodes of the remake are out already.

>>280278980
Fujos like it, it depends on whether or not the characters are good and if they have dynamics that make them shippable in their eyes. Bravern, Jojo and Golden Kamuy are insanely popular among fujos, it's just that back in the old days most series with muscular characters were obviously heterosexual with MCs winning the girl and everything and nowadays beefy characters barely exist to begin with so there aren't many anime they can latch onto.

>>280279201
This is only CG because Tetsuo Hara and Buronson decided they liked the Regenesis anime. If they did an Otokojuku anime it'd probably just be thrown to the first studio who said "yes", also Otokojuku designs are far more cartoony than HnK's.

>>280279174
Yes but he now only voices Kinnikuman's dad and prince Kamehame

>>280279158
Read the manga, the anime changed a lot of stuff and there's one particular change in the final arc that's gonna confuse you once you jump to the new anime

can the Japanese Diet please ban anime studios from using CGI tools forever

>>280278597
Muscles, hard edges, lots of detail = hard to animate
Soft rounded forms, thin limbs, minimal detail = easy to animate

i bet they will censor it to death for the retard weak burgers

>>280279219
The signs were apparent because the authors said they wanted CG.

>>280279219
>Can you think of an action anime aimed at an older crowd in the last 10 years that WASN'T CG slop?

Most of the Lupin III stuff that's come out. Hell, even the CGIslop movie actually looked nice.

>>280277712
>So why -do- they make these CG abominations? Who is actually positive about them?
Most people don't actually have any sense of quality and will eat whatever slop you feed to them. Japs loved the Way of the Househusband slideshow shit. The awful Lilo & Stitch remake has made a ton of money. People now are completely incapable of discernment.

>>280279363
>BURGERS BURGERS BURGERS
obsessed brown retard, japan is the one that censors violence and gore

>>280279353
also moeblob SoL crap hardly demands detailed animation unless it's a gag like this
https://youtu.be/ce646aHOS6s?si=uRxmErpwvWm3KDgw

>>280279363
Exploding guts are confirmed, so at least is has that going for it.

>>280279062
There were just too many clumsy retcons in general, pre-timeskip had them too but they were not to the same level. I agree that some individual characters were cool but they were never gonna be nearly cool enough to excuse that level of retcon for me

>>280279405
found the burgertroon

>>280279364
They only said "modern technology" which is pretty all over the place. Though in the future I'll just treat it as a code word for 3D.

>>280279203
Nah, I've seen them, they're absolutely human. They're insulting people for being boomers ("showa-era idiots") who hate anything 3d.

>>280279457
guess those are gen alpha kids that grew watching Skibidi Toilet

>>280278373
If it doesn't have the hardcore lesbian sex scenes from the manga in beautiful 2D animation then it can die for all I care.

>>280279432
Falco really didn't deserve the deal he got, he should've lasted up until Han at least.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYlkYkHkZxs

it's

OWACCHA

>>280279448
I mean, they said they weren't involved in animation in the best because they weren't interested since it couldn't replicate the manga style. The intentions are very clear.

I could understand in 2007 shit looking ass
I could understand in 2016 shit looking ass
How are they still so ass when it comes to CGI
We're talking 20+ years in now
If anything it's getting worse

>>280278999
Yeah I thought tv would finally fucking die with our generations, but the usual millenial normalfag is just as addicted to it as zoomers are to tiktok, shitty podcasts and youtube "summaries". And both are fine with ads. It's like everybody who isn't a 4chan poster and autist was watching garbage like casting shows and scripted reality series with over-weighted ghetto celebs instead of literally doing anything else. Barely any native here even understands English because they're busy with that crap and have no interests even though they will always pretend they did (at best they might be fans of star wars or harry potter).

We just gotta wait 20 more years for the actual good adaptation, trust the plan

>>280275896

>vizrael

>>280279495
Main issue is probably in chasing cel-shaded animation, i.e. trying to make "anime" into something you can make in a 3d program as opposed to replicating certain vibes in 3D. The Hokuto no Ken games sometimes managed to replicate this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imJzuorRRtQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00T7AWWomug
But generally speaking, you CAN'T do a guilty gear where you try to animate it like an anime and expect it to work. It's too much work and too imperfect, and it will pretty much always be. Might as well make something that's not trying to be 2d.

AHEM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nbf1YSZOIw

>>280279516
Fuck off.

>>280279161
Best GitS adaptation since the Playstation 1 video game.

>>280279062
Also, Kenshiro being part of the Super Secret Ancient Hokuto Bloodline made him a generic chosen one rather than a plucky underdog.

>>280279448
They're so fucking old they probably don't even understand what computer graphics mean, they think it's all animation and they think it's neat.

When it comes to anime CG it's like they lose all sense of how animation and natural movement works and I don't know why

>>280279590
fuck off faggot

>>280275896
What a terrible day to have eyes

>>280278406
I think both series are still fine because they still manage to have great and memorable visual design to offset the (understandably) jank CG. Hell, I'd argue that Reboot's action scenes are still more dynamic and thus enjoyable to watch than modern CG anime while the actual movement of the CG models has basically not actually improved at all in 30 years.

>>280278518
>why mecha anime became irrelevant
I fucking wish. Every fucking artist I follow jumped on the gundam bandwagon for clout.

at least i still have kinnikuman....

The only good instance of anime CG i've seen is from the JoJo openings and nothing else

>>280265121 (OP)
>CGI

Why must everything I care for be so disrespected?

>>280279658
do you see the isekai infestation that we have every fucking season? Back in the day it used to be like that but with mecha anime instead, now we only have a few of them every season

>>280276230
Kinnikuman is better

lol

>>280279679
Using it for openings is one thing, there it could actually show off if they put in some budget, but this is an entire anime we're talking about.

Kenshiro cannot exist in modern times. His existence is anathema to the modern world.

>>280279679
some fighting scenes in Dai reboot lokk good

>>280279744
Maybe we need our own nuclear war first.

>>280279679

>>280279729
they need to stop outsourcing to the flips

>>280275896
This anime is already dead.

>>280279775
and First Slamdunk dont know if it was the same studio or not

>>280279775
That was still trying to be 3D. The issue is with shit like this is that it
1. isn't
2. is way too stiff to not be poorly animated 3D
at least with cells the cells would shake convincingly or just alternate between 2 cells

>>280279729
fucking dying

>>280279708
okay?

Remember that some japs also thought Fury Road was a HNK ripoff. Those people live in the clouds.

to this day my only exposure to kinnikuman is still the 2002 ultimate muscle anime dubbed by 4kids.

>>280277910
Admittedly WTS ruined this song for me with Dub of the North Star.
Probably my favorite non-PurpleEyes abridged series (I count Nullmetal Alchemist as one), also just flat-out ruined the first four episodes of the tv show, too.

>>280275896
>no crystal king
>no hand-drawn animation
>no kamiya
it's over
half-kidding, actually. some shots look really good, but others look awful.

The issue with something like FotNS or Berserk is that you don’t just need good animation, you actually have to choreograph what’s happening and make it make sense. Meanwhile in your seasonal moeshit, genuine choreography isn’t nearly as important, you just have to make things look nice regardless if what’s actually happening makes sense or not. A short gag where a moe character does something and it’s hyper animated sakuga doesn’t translate 1:1 to the skills necessary for a legit fight scene

Genuine question why does anime CGI still look so fucking crap? Cartoons from other nations show that you can do it decently, so why does the CGI in anime never evolve? This trailer looks just as bad as CGI trailers from 15 years ago.

>>280279579
God if anything good can come out of this CGI piece of shit, it sure as shit is the increased chances of this being ported to PC as a tie-in, it's insane how long they've kept it in PS4 despite how well-received it is

The only newer anime I've seen that I've thought looked nice is SHY and that's because of the flashy visual direction which was already adapting a manga that tended to have flashy, unique and eyecatching layouts.

I've played it pretty close to the end. If you like Yakuza games and HnK then you'll like it.
There some jank like driving and some of the side activities and a lot of the usual Yakuza bullshit you have to endure but the combat is pretty fun especially once you get the insta kill grab and start spamming it in combos, really makes you feel like Ken. It's a flawed but pretty damn fun game IMO

It does suck inconcievable levels of ass that it turned out this way, though even if it was another 2d project not very much would come out of it I don't think (and at least this is good for a laugh).
Look at the Kenshin remake, I take it people like it and for a while it had a weekly thread going, but personally the only thing I got from it was decently-drawn lewds of Karou and Misao and this little gachapon figure of Kenshin I got the other day.
Save for actively passing up one of the best sountracks in the history of animation, I think a 2d Fist of the North Star remake would turn out the same way.

>>280281297
I meant that that's what Kenshin's remake did and I'd imagine HnK's new show won't do that.

>>280281383
Oh, reuse the soundtrack. Yeah they definitely won't do that. I recall it being reused in some Hokuto media at some point, but no way they're doing it for this.

I just broke my nofap streak because the trailer made me feel like absolute shit.

>>280281733
This trailer made it impossible for me to fap

Man, this sucks. I was really hoping for something good or, at the very least, decent looking. The only cope now is that the VA work and music will be so inmaculate that it elevates the whole thing, kinda like the original Toei anime where it made up for the shoestring budget.

>>280281938
I doubt it but hey, maybe you'll get funny webms at least. Another plus might be that normalfags won't rediscover HnK because the anime won't be popular.

>>280281574
Meanwhile this ps2 game looks better than every 3dpd anime ever made.

>>280281966
I'd say normalfags discovering it isn't the worst thing in the world because again, the Kenshin remake caused a relative avalanche of Kaoru-dono porn but as per Kenshin's creator, it's a whole other type of I.P. entirely. Probably the only thing that'll happen here is legions of

From the PV it'll be shitty "epic" music, no synths or orchestral shit like the 80s

>>280281966
>Another plus might be that normalfags won't rediscover HnK because the anime won't be popular.
With the 3D animation, it stands no chance, but even if it got half-way decent 2D animation, I have to ask if it would catch on with normalfags. It seems like the ones that do are adaptations of manga series which were only a few years old. HnK is currently over 40 years old.

>>280276945
SOVL OVERLOAAAAADDD

>>280282265
I hate modern "epic" music so goddamn much

>>280282360
Baki wasn't 40 years old when it was re-adapted more recently but it certainly was old comparably. If it had an anime of vaguely similar quality it could probably fetch a decent audience.

how are the JP boards reacting?

>>280282360
Jojo caught on with normal fags, so a well-done HNK remake would probably do the same.

>>280282453
no, the actual themes and morals of HnK are poison to LGBT lefty zoomers

For fucks sake.

>>280277643
both are still ps2 pre rendered quality

>>280277976
the baki netflix animes have been passable at best but son of ogre was REALLY bad at points, i really hope the simpler shading in baki dou means that they simplify the designs a bit n try to make the quality more consistent

>>280282483
I have seen some lefties that liked the series because they were stupid enough to believe that the central theme is that fascism is le bad

>>280282483
Fair point

>>280278304
>if it was like 7 years ago you wouldnt find a single positive feedback
no 7 years ago you'd find just as many comments defending that shit, its just the internet was slightly smaller so it was easier for a small vocal group to get a general consensus to be accepted, while nowadays ragebait rules the world

so, I heard that there was this project made by some fans to make a edited version of the classic anime with all the filler crap removed. I think that is worth checking out

>>280282453
I think HnK would catch on with the kind of crowd that likes fighting anime in general but don't like to watch old shows. But would it catch on with the Jojo crowd? Honestly I don't think so. The only thing early Jojo borrowed from HnK was part 1's general thing, artstyle up until part 3 and then some story inspirations at best from then on.
Jojo's appeal is nowadays just about how epickly weird and coo-coo it is, how weird the characters dress and memes and stando fights, at least with normalfags. The series when you watch it is nowhere near as macho or just preachy as HnK is.

>>280279037
not sure if fujos but baki has a way bigger female fanbase than you'd think

>>280282624
I didn't mean that Hokuto was like Jojo, just Jojo gaining an audience despite originating in the 80s meant that HNK could potentially do the same.

Shin HnK is the only good Hokuto animation in the past 20+ years. It at least had the balls to be a sequel and give us a simple tale of Kenshiro as a wasteland wanderer. And Fury Road BLATANTLY ripped it off right down to the design of the villain and locations.

>>280282597
False. Some of HnK's filler was better than the actual manga plot at times or expanded upon it in ways that made more sense like Rei and Ken going to Blue Town instead of just leaving and immediately returning with nothing in between.

>>280282656
sometimes I check the baki subreddit and there's at least 3 crazy self-shipper chicks that make fanart of them dating the characters

>>280281334
>Does this really all trace back to the film industry?
Probably. Film and prestige series are all dark and washed out because retarded directors think it makes it more serious or artsy or something (probably also helps hide instances of bad props/CGI/whatever) and vidya and anime studios see that and copy it. Kind of like how every anime now copied Nolan's BAMHAM by throwing in shaky cam and shit during fight scenes or everything is generic "epic" music.

>>280282696
Soundtrack was great too.
https://youtu.be/dbZzDnzo3Kk

>>280282739
Women will like all sorts of characters, I even recall seeing one call anime Raoh beautiful when I ended up watching some reaction video that involved HnK at one point, the person reacting was some italian woman I think, not exactly a shipper though

>>280281574
You absolute buffoon. Devil May Cry games, Resident Evil, Haunting Ground, that stuff was common.

>>280282483
>actual themes and morals of HnK are poison to LGBT lefty zoomers
>every rape bandit explodes into a pile of guts
>kenshiro defends women
nah, i know plenty of zoomers who tried it and loved it, the main turnoff really is just that the artstyle looks old/"corny", the idea that somehow its too moral for zoomers is genuinely just a weird nonsense cope

ANGERY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy_Z7KoIQo4

>>280282737
Yeah the HnK filler that was mostly shit or useless padding was at the start, it's pretty much after Rei shows up that the filler stops being totally retarded. Granted, they needed some way to make Shin's arc not last like 5 episodes. And while it is funny, it's kind of stupid to have ninjas jumping out of headcanons. Some of the filler bandit deaths are kino though, like the guy who blows himself up.

>>280282752
>Nolan

oh yeah, sirorsky, musashi, pickle, jack and i think i even saw a yume into dorian there

>>280282885
lefties will complain that there's not a single female magic kung fu user and how most female characters are portrayed in passive roles

>>280282885
It's specifically pointed out that women can't be warriors and should be nurturing wife and mothers, and you forget in zoomie land women needing to be saved because they are naturally weak and vulnerable is sexist, not to mention everyone is a macho man

>>280282885
>the idea that somehow its too moral for zoomers is genuinely just a weird nonsense cope
what they mean is that it's about being a grown man who shoulders the responsiblities of being a grown man. Zoomers are taught that gender roles aren't a thing and that anyone who believes they are bigots.

HnK got a new game!? Cool
It's a Switch game?

>>280282948
i mean they might but realistically a woman doesn't have the physical capability to put up a fight in HnK, even in Souten no Ken before the bombs fell the women aren't exactly going around finishing battles all by themselves

>>280275896
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
why bother?
how does anyone look at this and think it's good enough to even put out a trailer?

>>280282952
Reminder that she gets in all the games despite doing nothing at all but getting almost raped by a generic thug and getting her clothes ripped off by Rei. Yet Airi, who actually did kill some of Raoh's guys and thus actually contributed more than Mamiya eve did, never does.

>>280283003
Regenesis introduced a female nanto user iirc

>>280283041
mamiya killed a few random mohawks all by herself so there's that at least

See, faggots!? SEE!? They should rip off the bandage already and use AI, then fix the hallucinations in post-production. There, all good.
It's better than this shit.

>>280282896
the one with the former bandit who tried to reform, the one where Kenshiro fights the tank, the one with the fucking rail gun, the episode with Madame Patra who Kenshiro shoved her fuckin pearl necklace in her eyes and made her fire-breathing friend burn to death, the episodes where Shin is struggling to maintain order among his captains and they rebel against him, any time Joker showed up, it was kino after kino

some ken drawing

>>280283065
King's men were a step above wasteland gang bangers though.

>>280283042
This girl? She hasn't done much yet. But again, just realistically speaking, unless you go out of your way to add martial artists from the Nanto school or whatever you're not really ending up with female fighters being relevant. Yuria is one of the big Nanto users but we never even see her use her stuff in a fight.

>>280276118
Hoping they don't make a 1:1 manga adaptation because Shin destroying his own empire was an spectacular moment.

>>280283086
>>280283534
The concept is fine, but spending 20 episodes on it was a drag.

>>280282885
The values of HnK are really no different than that of old westerns where the world is savage and cruel and the one righteous man wandering through puts things to right protecting the cute and innocent and giving bad guys brutal deaths, Hokuto Shinken is really no different than the gunslinger who's always the faster and more cunning shootist. And mutt zoomers have made their hatred of those stories abundantly clear.

>>280283622
Why do you freaks see any tyrannical empire as immediately being 'fascist'? Is it to make communism look better? You also going to ignore the extremely on the nose Christian themes like redemption and compassion and self sacrifice and how love redeems the villain at the end?

>>280283622
Isn't he just trying to build any old kingdom? That's really where HnK is starting because everything has broken down. Even later on it's all about the Heavenly Emperor when Falco rolls about. It feels unfair to ascribe it any ideology, and if there is one, it'd have to be rooted in monarchism or something ancient like that tying back to HnK's wuxia inspirations.

>>280283729
>"You freaks"
>Random communism
Back to twitter with you
These themes are not exclusive to christianity and thinking that is already kind of stupid, especially since the christians who virtue signal the most about love and redemption are the ones who are the most bitter and evil. And lol at the manga about the godS and the stars guiding one to unlock the fist of nothingness is christian because uhhhh the good guy is good

>>280283729
Kenshiro would hate chr*stians for being hypocritical, dishonest and intolerant pieces of shit.

>>280283956
ya bro totally unfounded

>>280283805
True, and even then multiple gods who act through stars and fate are mentioned, so it obviously points at pantheistic old chinese mythology and the japanese religions it inspired, one must be coping pretty hard to describe it as christian or just dumb as hell if you think christianity is the only religion that tells you to do good

Persecutory delusion


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A persecutory delusion is a type of delusional condition in which the affected person believes that harm is going to occur to oneself by a persecutor, despite a clear lack of evidence. The person may believe that they are being targeted by an individual or a group of people. Persecution delusions are very diverse in terms of content and vary from the possible, although improbable, to the completely bizarre. The delusion can be found in various disorders, being more usual in psychotic disorders.

Toki himself and some elements of Kenshiro are kind of christ-inspired, but it's just a part of the whole. Reminds me, Toki "dies" after facing Raoh but "resurrects" at the end with Ryuga, he just kind of leaves for heaven at that point. Ken also has some christ analogues, particularly vs souther & kaioh, but it feels more like it's used for flavor's sake or to drive home that the gods chose him
