Female mangaka
https://x.com/KEI_URANA/status/1947686357343903984

>>280824628
What am I supposed to be upset about here?

She likes kpop?

>>280824665
Westerns hated Helluva Boss.

Urana said it’s a awesome anime

>>280824602 (OP)
The setting and the art look peak, the character writing not so much so far
At least blond Hisagi is hot

>>280824697
so did Nasu

I picked it up thinking it was another manga with a title that is just five katakana
I think the one I wanted to watch was something to do with samurai sword?
the trash anime is fun too tho

>>280824802
She liked Arcane too

>>280824671
>>280824628
>Likes helluva boss
>Likes kpop
So... The female mangaka is female.
What a shock

>>280824602 (OP)
She is so hot and I'm not sure why
Probably the twintails

Peak trash

>>280824985
And likes arcane & panty & stocking.

She’s a western weeb

>>280824971
But Arcane was actually good?

>>280824802
yeah but us incels only hate women for having the wrong opinions

>>280825028
Not season 2 but she liked it anyways

>>280824971
>>280825018
SO?
Why should I care?
>She’s a western weeb
And you like anime/manga, which supposedly makes you an Otakus.
Unless you don't notice, it's the same shit

>>280824628
>Likes Helluva Boss
Well i’ve completely lost faith in her writing abilities. Her arts neet though.

>>280824628
While I was doing something else Amazon picked up Hazbin Hotel and there's an entire season of what used to just be a pilot and a dream?

>>280825069
She’s friends with Mori Calliope who is a problematic v tuber

>>280825069
> And you like anime/manga
I don’t

>>280825147
How are v tubers any worse than regular tubers?
I want to eat linus tech tips' potato

>>280825374
Mori Calliope raps and said the n word.
Mori hangs out with Gigguk too

Can’t wait for mori to sing the next op song for Gachiakuta

>>280825330
Then literally what are you doing here...?
>>280825147
Based.

>>280825147
Who?

I like to see what weebs are into

>female author cuckslop

>>280824971
Season 1 or season 2?

>>280825540
Isn't asian people shitting on black people essentially a break-even scenario? Are you Harvard?

>>280825147
this is the only thing I'd hate her over. Mori is a bitch who hates her job but can't be popular without an anime avatar and blue dorito.

>>280826084
Both

>>280826088
> Are you Harvard?
Who?
And Mori is white. Everyone has seen her real face.

>>280826212
A V-teleyouber being outed as not Japanese at all but a white person? Isn't that an endgame fail state for any and all v-teleyouber fans?

>>280825144
Since Im familiar with Vizpop I know for a fact that I dont have the mental illness for that show.

>>280824832
You mean Kagurabachi?

>>280826631
That's probably what I was thinking of, thank you
Are there any samurai sword anime coming up other than my no longer funky demon hunter show?

>>280824832
>>280826631
>>280826826
KGB mentioned!

>>280825147
Problematic, holy fuck kys

>>280827091
No

>>280824602 (OP)

>>280824628
tunblrkuta...

>>280824628
i mean dont get me wrong, retarded woman CAN be cute but shit taste is a different matter, i'm not sure if i can cope my way outta that, but then again if i rethink it all THEN IT CAN be a good thing, it would mean that I, MYSELF, have a realistic CHANCE.

>>280824628
Helluva Based

>>280824628
This makes western fujoshits piss their tranny colored pants in anger.

>>280826929

FUCK OFF CHAGEN

It's pretty alright.
The good parts
>The art, very stylized and expressive (I hate the Kagurabachi / Frieren trend of dead fish characters so damn much)
>Story is built on a mystery, so far it's the sweet spot where the questions themselves are interesting, too soon to tell if the answers will be
>Characters are very likeable, kinda give me Dorohedoro vibe of people doing their best to have fun in a shitty world. There's special care spent in giving them each a little bit of something extra.
>Power system is original and very organically tied to character growth
>Action sequences are well thought-out, typically involving the terrain in interesting ways, the drawings are nevertheless easy to follow and match the intensity of the events

The not good parts
>Lack of 1VS1 fights which to me is a staple of the shonen genre and the best way to showcase growth, usually there is some, but a lot of times it'd be a fights between multiples groups
>Shorts chapters with frequent one-week breaks
>Slow start to the story which probably isn't a big deal now but if you wanna give it a shot I'd recommend reading up until chapter 20 or so for the first "serious" arc to come to its conclusion
>Trash beasts are underused as a concept and are not that interesting as they are now

Overall it's very solid, especially since this seems to be the work of a rookie.

The QRT are hilarious.

>>280824602 (OP)
All i see people talk about is the mangaka and that she is female and spam twitter images or her or her tweets and what she likes.

>>280836982
Death of the Author is fake and gay and the author's background and worldview is very important in judging the message of their work

>>280824628
>>280836896
Can I get a link that doesn't require me to sign up and give my phone number to the pedophile president's exboyfriend?

>>280837100

>>280837100
Do they even let you into the oval office if you're not a pedophile?

>>280837421
nope

>>280837010
Oh fuck off, this never happens with any male author

>>280836585
Watch it

>>280839485
Sorry but it looks gross

>>280824628
Deleted the tweets then proceeded to do this absolute queen behavior

>>280839553
It doesn’t

>>280824628
I follow her on Threads and her posts are so deranged on that site. I followed for art but all she does is post about having bubble guts and falling down the stairs. Literally just her shit posting. She's lucky she's cute and talented.

Urana follows VivziePop on instagram

>>280839299
wtf I want to fuck Reiji Miyajima now

>>280836982
I've read the manga. It's okay. The artwork is cool, the story, action, and magic system are interesting, but the world building is pretty terrible imo. I just don't enjoy the world of garbage thing. I think it could be cool if it were more post-apocalyptic, but it's not. Kind of surprised that it got turned into an anime, as it doesn't seem to be a very popular manga, at least among westerners.

>>280841098
>it doesn't seem to be a very popular manga, at least among westerners.
Neither was Kimetsu no Yaiba, really.

>>280841098
> westerners
Yes

Wrong site to discuss this because people on this site lack nuance when it comes to race, this isn't an excuse for anons to shit on black people, but the only problem I see with this video is calling graffiti art black. It's a part of hip-hop culture but only because it got lumped into the music's nascent sub-culture. Both graffiti and hip-hop gained popularity at the same time among punks and hip-hopheads. But the American graffiti art and culture sprang up all on its own and took years of steady development away from any music scenes. Even now modern day graffiti has little to do with hip-hop. Doesn't mean it's not a pillar of hip-hop just that not everyone involved in the art got there through any type of music.
>t. graffiti artist

>>280824602 (OP)
Isn’t this set in a literal garbage world?

>>280841664
To make myself more clear, many of the very early, and famous, graffiti artists are black, but it very quickly became an artform that had black, white, and latino Americans all panting together. I don't think any one group dominated the scene. It was never specifically a black artform.

>>280842242
It's a world overrun by garbage but it's not made of it.

>>280841664
Would you say it's more like "graffiti is a part of hip-hop, but hip-hop isn't a part of graffiti culture"?
I mean, it's literally one of the four "pillars" of hip-hop. I saw Style wars recently and to me it really made a point of how the two artforms and cultures grew together and are inherently intertwined

>>280843244
>"graffiti is a part of hip-hop, but hip-hop isn't a part of graffiti culture"
Yes that's exactly it. Just two separate movements that had some overlap.

>>280842242
Yes

is this anime gay?

>>280824628
>le author has…. le OPINION
>please be mad about this!!!!
>guys please!! look at my twitter screencaps!!!!
the absolute state of image boards

I'm reading this and am curently at chap 130, shame i'm already catching up.

By the way, when was it established that no one knew who made the chokers? Did I speedrun through it or was that a hole.

>>280845138
It was never outright said, Rudo wonders about it in chapter 29 but doesn't ask the others. Then in chapter 89 Fuu says part of Zodyl's objective in the giant trash beast was to see if the chokers were made by a giver.

>>280824628
Can someone explain to me why that show is shit without writing a wall of text?

>peak
Shut the fuck up. Just shut the fuck up.

>>280824628
Picked up.

>>280846116
I didn't watch Helluva Boss but I watched Hazbin Hotel, both created by the same woman. Hazbin's humor is in the realm of cursing for the first time in my life, making earnest and obnoxious attempts at losing my virginity, and my social circle consists of mostly gay theater kids. In short it's Tumblr the show.

>>280825147
yeah shes got two huge problems

>>280846116
I honestly liked the first season, but the later seasons deviate from the core concept of "what if assassin in hell killed people on earth" too much. It ends up being ungodly amounts of character drama (mostly gay shit) which wasn't the point.

>>280845116
Yes.
Jabber is

>>280845116
the only explicitly gay character is the black dike receptionist. Mc is explicitly straight and most of the other characters are implied that way too.

>>280841664
>it's part of hiphop
how? Isn't it just people being silly and painting shit they aren't supposed to to show themselves or something they want off?

>>280824628
Urana!

>>280824602 (OP)
I was a little disappointed that he got a superpower and could tank big damage in episode 2 already, the below world has made me lose a bit of interest.

>>280849792
Eh I like it better than the alternative where mc has to get deus ex machina'd immediately. Kinda still does tho ig

>>280849792
His superpower is actually pretty interesting even if it does fall in the "Super special MC" category

>>280849491
Well you typically paint or tag your nickname. Graffiti with it's vibrant colors, braggadocios and rebellious nature due to it being illegal, and being a completely new visual style of art served as a good visual representation of how the music sounded. It gained popularity at the exact same time as Hip-hop and so that's why its considered to be an element of it. Many people who listened to the music during that time also painted or wrote graffiti.

People forget that Hip-hop isn't just a genre of music there's a whole ass (sub)culture associated with it, at least in the beginning before it melded into general American culture. The "4 Elements" of hip hop are rapping/MC'ing, break dancing, DJ'ing, and graffiti, on top of dress, speech, philosophy (yes there are rules to hip-hop), and even arguably some foods and drinks (nobody was drinking 40oz of malt liquor before rappers rapped about it).

>>280849792
His ability is actually really well designed and leads to a ton of fun. Wouldn't mind a vidya with a similar power.

>>280849792
He had superpowers before he got thrown into the dumpster. Same as his foster dad.

>>280849792
Flag

>>280846116
it goes from kinda funny times in S1 to shitty gay melodrama in S2 and beyond. Honestly for a net show animation is pretty decent and i'll admit i like most songs it has, but vizzie makes her characters swear every other line like a 13 y/o on crack.
I wouldn't really rec it, but If you want to see if you like it either watch episode 1 of HelluvaBoss or Hazbin Hotel, they are basically the same thing.

>first ten minutes of show is characters spewing exposition at each other

>>280853483
Trash?
