You know how

Women on birth control and ssri run all aspects of society now.

>>213494381 (OP)
It’s Korean which is the new in-thing now so has been glazed constantly

>>213494381 (OP)
every big budget animated movie gets into the animation shortlist

>>213494381 (OP)
they payed

Parasite walked so KDH could run

>>213494381 (OP)
They wanted to give Koreans something for Squid Game but it's not eligible so they went with this.

It'll lose to some China thing or a Disney movie but it's the thought that counts

>>213494381 (OP)
Fake news. It's not considered at all.

>>213494672
>It’s Korean
>>213494936
>They wanted to give Koreans something
it's american, the same studio that made the spiderverse movies.

if they want to throw korea a bone, lost in starlight is an actual korean animation this year.

>>213494381 (OP)
It's the best show this year. I've been watching K pop demon hunters on repeat

>>213495097
Yeah but that's not a popular mainstream thing like the gay porn demons movie

South Koreans are a fucking meme race. Also this show is shit unless you are a teenage girl or a faggot.

It's insane how the average korean girl mogs hollywood actresses

>>213495218
those are not average korean girls nigga they are born and raised to be kpop dolls

next

>>213495380
zoey is offputting uncanny triangle face with lolsorandom spork personality
why does anyone like her
legitimately asking, she seems entirely unlikable

>>213495438
she's the only one that actually looks Asian

>>213495218
arr rook same

>>213495461
>>213495517
why is this animated at like 12fps?
looks more like stop motion than animation

>>213495541
seek help for your autism, it looks fine

>>213494381 (OP)
They consider a shitload of movies for the oscars.
This is nothing new

>>213495541
It's the new thing. Puss in Boots had it. Spider-verse had it. That one lesbian movie with the furbies had it.

The kids love it

>>213494441
this scene

what the fuck did they mean by this?

>>213495571
Everyone loves that scene

>>213494381 (OP)
See it's things like this that make me love Sony. They'll but out shit like Madame Webb and Fixed without a second thought but they'll sell a movie like this to Netflix where it smashes records and gets awards recognition

>>213495590
Korea and Japan like to do these weird game shows with their pop stars

>>213495541
made by the spiderverse people, it's not quite as pronounced as it was in those movies but that's why, it's their janky style.

>>213495541
Because anime is like that
Sony is a jap company

Who's my little soda pop?

what's the best song? for me it's golden

>>213495922
I like how "DOESN'T WORK" is one of the red flags on the wall

>>213495541
strangely you don't even notice it while you watch the movie, brains are powerful

>>213495946
Yeah I only noticed it when I watched it for the second time with my friend, only this time stoned on gummies. It's cool because you can see how the demons are animated more smoothly making them look a little unnatural, kind of like when a TV has frame interpolation turned on and is 60FPS

>>213495110
what did she mean by this

>>213495665
>satan is totally real guys, you will damned FOREVERRRR!!

>>213495711
How it's done is good

It was fun, but I don't give a fuck about kpop and about 80% of the music grated on me.
Would watch Mongolian Throat Singing Rap Demon Hunters desu

>>213495218
Wow they're hideous

>>213495110
>>213496111
>>213496504

My little sister's friend told her she thought KPop Demon Hunters was scary and not to watch it. I wonder what she could have thought was scary about it, but then again I learned that little girls find a lot of villains in certain Disney and Pixar films scary

>>213495541
kids like it because its slower than normal and their adhd addled brains can actually process it. so much information is being blasted into kids brains its overloading them. think of a brain as a computer, everyones brains working at 100% memory at all times now

>>213494381 (OP)
I don't know what this film even is but based on posts on /tv/ I can only guess its a thinly veiled gay porno?

>>213495218
>average
bro those are idols

>>213494381 (OP)
>KPop Demon Hunters
I keep hearing about this shit, yet I still have no interest whatsoever in watching it.

>>213495380
Wait... From what I understand Koreans hate artists that aren't born and raised in their own country, am I wrong on this?

>>213495414
>dubai chocolate
Gonna try that for the first time tomorrow.

What's with the rise in the low FPS SpiderVerse style? That Wolf King show did it too.

>>213497037
gyopos. it's not as bad as it used to be.

>>213495110
god this show is hideous

>>213497060
It's extremely overrated

>>213497073
people seem to like it

>>213497073
video game brain rot, not everything has to be 240fps like your latest gaymen

>>213494381 (OP)
Some gooks sucked dicks to push their gookshit to the world, it's been going on for years. None of it is organic or natural. I expect a documentary about this to come out in 5-10 years.

>>213495110
>>213496111
DUDE FOOD LMAO

>>213497178
It looks uncanny. It's like watching shit in too high FPS. It provides that uneasy soap opera effect. Both are weird.

>>213497196
cope. /tv/ now even has a 24/7 kdrama general. it's organic because people are tired of the shit TV the west has been putting out for over a decade now.

>>213497257
It's just someone who feels threatened that Asian people are no longer reduced to a comedic role and are being taken more seriously in the cultural zeitgeist

>>213497257
yeah because you're all normalfag tourist that got brainwashed by their advertisement. none of their shit is actually become popular by quality. It's all advertisement and shilling. Some fags got paid and sucked hard to peddle their shit to the world

K-Pop Demon Hunters won. It's over, Jesus is no longer king, Huntr/x is.

>>213497196
All animated television was already gookshit, simpsons, family guy, king of the hill, all animated by koreans. That being said, this is absolute slop just like those shows, and anyone who genuinely enjoys this is either the target audience of 14 year old girls or highly autistic adults who are impressed by overdone acting, colors and noise. This show is the equivalent of jangling keys in front of an infant.

>>213497410
>>213497439
massive cope. why don't you just go back to one of your capeslop threads that seems to be more your speed.

No more hiding, I'll be shining like I'm born to beeeeeee

>>213497439

get over yourself no one is impressed by your imdb top 250 ass list of favorite movies

How do I stop my niece from watching this slop over and over?

Weird way to spell Saja Boys

>plays the kpop demon hunters big bad
oppa

it's a shame the actor for the pink haired girl did the tranny voice

>>213497728
What is that

>>213497728
your brain is rotten

>>213497835
It is fucking insane how these gooks are supposed to be the pinnacle of Korean beauty and somehow look less attractive than most of the women I went to college with

>>213494381 (OP)
Don't act like there isn't worse shit that's won the animated movie Oscars.

>>213495097
is this that Kim Tae Ri movie?

>>213494381 (OP)
uhhhhhh it made a lot of money so that must mean it has artistic merit!

>>213495380
did they ever even have her rapping “hard” like at any point in the movie

No.

>>213498020
It really does but shockingly there’s no gay shit in this at all and a hetero normal love story is part of the main plot

>>213498004
not really other than the first song, probably just so they could fit blackpink into the music somewhere

>>213498045
>Here are two Japanese
>The ugly one is Korean!
This cope will never not be funny

>>213498045
I'll take right

Lmao i also eat food!

>>213498045
apologize for comfort women

>>213495380
Burbank? Is that part of the joke? Is it a joke?

>>213497764
Mira? has a deep voice, made me think the actor was a tranny and considering it's an american movie I thought it was another woke push, but turns out it's a biological woman

>>213498209
She just has a deadpan "I don't care and I'm too cool for you" kind of voice. I think it contrasts well with Zoey's hyper and high-pitched voice and Rumi's normal voice

>>213498209
anon discovers real women don't all sound like anime waifus

>>213498069
What do you mean? Who's coping? Western people? Japanese people?

Japan was colonized by Asian people from the Korean Peninsula ("Yayoi").
The island people of the Ryukuu Kingdom islands (see: "Okinawans"), who are now a part of the Japanese Nation, were mostly colonized by Oceanic Pacific and Polynesian groups.

There's a very clear dintinction between these ethnic groups. Same as the difference between Mediterranean Europeans and Scandinavians.

>>213498209
women simply can’t be bad ass or intimidating. The scene in the doctors office was cringy as hell when she scared the doctor off
>yeah that’s right!
fuck off

>>213498307
I hang around feminine women, sorry.

>>213498309
you expect me to take an infographic that uses "alpha" and "gooky" as descriptors seriously?

>>213498183

Koreans knowledge of geography outside of Korea is about the same an a typical American’s knowledge of Korea. If you ask most people about it, they’re likely to still say something like “Oh but which Korea” and probably don’t know any city outside of Seoul.

>>213498421
people surely know Busan at least because of those movies. any decent traveler would know Incheon because of the airport.

>posting on /co/ and /tv/
well I'll just copypaste my reply here too
Films need to be screened at theaters to even qualify for the Oscars.
Since Netflix doesn't tend to do that unless it's Oscar bait, this is providing the film the bare minimum to even qualify for the Oscar which it won't win cause Zootopia 2 already won it before the Academy season even started

>>213499404
supposedly it will be coming to theaters

>>213499290

>>213495563
Do the kids actually love it or did execs see spiderverse's success and decided to copy it and kids just consume it like they would any cartoon?

>>213499816
the songs have been charting for weeks

>>213499290
Bro was aura farming

>>213499816
Just an opinion but I don't think the execs thought this would blow up like it has. Usually if a cartoon is popular the kids want to know who the voice actor is and here too the execs had those lined up. But the characters here are kpop groups so every kid that watched wanted to know who sang the songs not who spoke. The execs were caught flat footed. Nobody knew who EJAE (Rumi) was but everyone on the planet does now all thanks to social media and they want a Huntr/xverse.

>>213500571
didn't twice do some of the songs?

I just looked and they have two. Takedown and Strategy

>>213501302
Apparently the version of takedown in the actual movie wasn't them though.

>>213497196
>>213497410
kpop already peaked in popularity, there was a stupid rumour about twitter pushing kpop there until musk bought it, but that turned out to be untrue aswell, its simply a very vocal internet community.
kpop blew up in the west with BTS as a replacement for One Direction which disbanded, leaving a void. before then the group was actually not successful, this was the turning point for gookshit in the west. stuff like squid game happened in a similar way when netflix was offering fuck all for a moment, combine all this with an influx of pajeets and chinks to the west who watch this. western media is shit now and every normalfag loves anime and is less aversed to look at something like this now.

>>213501350
You are right I went back and confirmed that. Twice did the version in the closing credits showing them in the studio

>>213501381
kdramas are so much better than current year western slop

no, theyre all beanpoles

this thread is how i know /tv/ has shit taste

this "film" is dogshit

>>213502487
Okay, why do you think so?

>>213502378
Yes, but the jannies are always on the lookout.

>>213494381 (OP)
Sombr will beat their ass

you know i've realized, i don't hate korea or koreans, i just hate the retarded brown incels that are obsessed with them. i'm so tired of seeing their gook faces plastered all over this website, but it isn't their fault, it's the fault of a horde of stinky 3rd world bird brained losers. i'm even sorry for saying gook, i'm sorry these vermin have filled me with such hatred.

>>213502635
not happening. Every female on the planet is singing golden on tiktok

>>213502674
See, your logic is backwards. You shouldn't hate the retards, you should hate the people enabling their retarded behavior. You think that labels don't know that they're creating fanatics? You're naive

>>213502795
Lets be real. People all over are tired of the best america offers, hip hop big black asses on stage

>>213502967
Yeah, really. I'm not into K-pop but at least they seem a bit more tasteful

>>213494381 (OP)
best animated movie i watched in a year so no surprise
the crazy part is on how silly the premise is, you dont expect it to go so hard

not perfect though, it needed another 5-10 minutes in the third act, gets extremely rushed towards the end
i think trying to keep it under 90 min hurt it a lot

>>213503157
>i think trying to keep it under 90 min hurt it a lot
100% but I'm more impressed with how tight it is, not a single second feels wasted and it keeps your attention throughout the entire movie

>>213503017
Even when they shake their tiny asses they aren't miming masturbation or sucking a cock. So if you had children which act would you feel more comfortable them watching. The US music is in a corner of its on making with two dominant options. hiphop or nashville country. kpop doesn't even need the west, more asians than europe and North America combined

>>213498102
why are her lips so chapped?

>>213503970
She's supposed to look like a femcel

What the fuck is this gay shit? Is this really what zoomers like to watch?

>>213504226
yes

>>213504226
I did see one trannie or african in the whole cartoon

>>213495665
yea these characters are the demons the title speaks of.

>>213504300
It's still about effeminate Koreans who live in an extremely feminist society about a genre of music that appeals to women.

>>213495414
WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THISc
Aptcha YW0GAA

>>213495218
Now show their pre debut pics

>>213495541
because animation gods know that anchoring animation on 2s instead of 1s makes for the most kino of kino

I don't 'get' K-POP

>>213505800
I don't really listen to it but their songs are catchy

>>213495141
Nah it’s good and you like it too that’s why you’re here

>>213505293
>extremely feminist society
If you had been to Korea you know that is not the case. Women are still at bottom of the social hierarchy.

Is the whole movie a fucking musical? Because I couldn't stand watching it after the first 10 minutes because of retarded kpop music playing. The animations are hard to watch as well, is this shit stop-motion but soulless? Unbearable.

>>213495218
i feel so bad for the other races, they have to know they look like bugs and abominations right

>>213505800
I don't think there's really anything to "get"
The rest of the world doesn't really do boybands or girl groups anymore, they Koreans fill that vacuum.

Also a woman liking KPOP shit is pretty much the equivalent of a male weeb. There are many of them out there.

https://youtu.be/q32LPnAIllU
Honestly, it seems fun

>>213495711
really?
This is What i Sound Like is the best one in this movie and is not even in this list

>>213496389
>my parents made me go to church and i had a big melty

>>213495097
None of the people involved in spiderverse worked on kpopdemon hunters they just aped the art style

>>213507598
That's what I thought too

>>213498456

You’re giving people way too much credit anon. Outside of their home country other places might as well not exist. Even when I lived in Korea the people I met stayed in their little shell. Korea might as well be Japan, China, etc. to most.

>>213501690
will gimbak be as popular as sushi?

>>213507730
Maybe even more because it's easy takeout
I can see it taking off like corn dogs or boba tea

it's an ok movie, i was hoping that the conflict would've been more dramatic like we have no explanation why her mom slept with a demon, i was hoping maybe she was found during a raid attack or maybe that she killed her own mother and they kept that secret or something

>>213507783
A trilogy is planned apparently

>evil demon bad cuz he takes souls
>"hero" girls get "given" souls to defeat him
real subtle, lucifer

>>213507730
it's a good alternative for those who want sushi without the fish, i like it but is not a very common dish around here, yet
>>213507835
well the first movie already put everything on the table so i can only guess the next step is to go worldwide or maybe try and rescue the saja boys

Say hello to your delve companion in Midnight.

>>213507894
Yeah I wonder if they will introduce like, a rival girl group

>>213494381 (OP)
shows that all kpop fans who shit on anime actually like anime

>>213507931
a rival group with diverse members who will join them in the final act and be a super group

>>213495541
Only costs half as much to animate half as many frames

Are you a fucking retard dude?

I fucking hate korea so much for popularizing the kpop twink phenotype

>>213508223
>i hate korea
>links a japanese guy in japan
?

>>213508194
yes
now answer me

>>213508243
Nta but the white (hapa?) guy is just doing what's also popular in Japan, the kpop twink phenotype. The jap normalfag women love that look because of Korea.

>>213508504
jap guys have been looking like that for 30 years dude

>>213508590
In jp half the water/coffee/tea beverages I buy have kpop twink men on them

>>213508590
Yeah and it never caught on beyond some weeaboo communities. The Kwave is what made it popular with women in the west.

>>213494381 (OP)
Retards just hate this because >muh doordash
If you actually watch this it looks absolutely nothing at all like doordash. Its basically a modern day fairytale if I could describe it briefly. Its not always janky animation either just for style sometimes it is. Its the most popular movie on Netflix and soundtrack has trended on Spotify.

Sorry to use ad populum arguments its just to say that of course with the huge popularity and quality of the movie it got nominated possibly.

Now that I see the women watching and listening to this crap I realize how utterly and completely repulsive the typical anime watching weeaboo nerd was back in the day

>>213495541
this fucked with me when i watched it high af

These designs are ugly as fuck.

>>213494381 (OP)
The animation is terrible and the plot is way to simple and cringy, if it wasn't for the songs nobody would care about it

>>213510437
yeah that's the point it's a kpop movie

Only worth watching for the How It's Done song.

>>213494381 (OP)
so this is just an average movie but with kpop in it right? its making money because of kdrones

>>213510044
What's up with the retarded "stop-motion" animation

>>213511127
like autistic moths to a flame
put the Nvidia down, fake frames aren't real

>>213511081
being average in this cinema climate makes it basically the god father

>>213511174
It is clearly a stylistic choice, it looks retarded, and you are also retarded

>>213511081
No its popular because girls all over the planet love the story and the music. I don't think they knew it would be this well received but this is a simple good v evil with songs of three young women the weapon. Yes there is Korean cultural references throughout but it doesn't get in the way because the songs are in English. And it doesn't smack of the preachy diversity and inclusion shit you expect from Disney now. Another culture is baked into the story.

>>213498020
it doesn't look anything like steven universe
