Aaron Long
Only good thing about Taiwan
David Murphy
It's shot and animated pretty impressively and those puppets are beautiful, but man, that voice acting is atrocious.
Now the question is: who is best doll?
Evan Barnes
Is Thunderbolt Fantasy genuinely good? Or is it only talked about because of puppets?
Robert Cox
It's written by Urobuchi if that's any indication.
Michael Green
3DPD that waved wrong country flag on television
Gavin Hill
it is honestly incredible. way cooler than i thought it ever would have been, and extremely well made. it is my favorite thing so far this season.
Kayden Collins
I don't doubt that it's cool, but it's written by the dumbass who created F/SN.
William Brown
>it's written by the dumbass who created F/SN >F/SN
Elijah Garcia
I enjoyed the shit out of it.
Justin Phillips

Kinoku Nasu had nothing to do with this. Kill yourself.
Julian Parker
Technically yes. However the mods here haven't nuked these kinds of threads except for the first.
Isaac Martin
It's on Crunchyroll, not sure if there are other websites that have it right now.
Kayden Garcia

Noah Sanchez
have you seen how fucking big they are? they look 4 foot tall in the behind the scenes video
Joseph Rogers
I thought they were supposed to be glove puppets
how fucking huge are Taiwanese hands? do NOT sexualize the dolls!
Carson Green
Well, the show has been running for more than 50 years, so its very hard to pick. Here are some of them(there's many more)
Lucas Anderson
...
Oliver Jones
Looks like something Yoshitaka Amano would design.
Robert Morris
They're all beautiful as fuck.
How can moeblobs even HOPE to compete?
Kayden Robinson
yeah looks more like something out of the Arslan OVAs.
Benjamin Carter
I claim this doll. She is now mine, no-one else can have her.
Robert Myers
they put their hands in them, but they are like half if not more the size of the people using it.
Nolan Hughes
Well I don't care cause my favorite doll is also an anime.
Austin Bennett
>needing Japan to help with your dolls shit Why is your country so pathetic?
Jack Turner
>how fucking huge are Taiwanese hands? Best info I can find is that Pili puppets are 30 cm tall. I'd say they may have gotten bigger since the ones used in Thunderbolt Fantasy since they look around one and a half feet tall.
Oliver Gomez
What is this?
I thought 3D was supposed to always be pig disgusting.
This isn't pig disgusting.
How come?
Why?
Do dolls count as 3D?
Jordan Young
Dolls have always been cute user, it's a-ok to love dolls.
Aaron Flores

Robert Phillips
Dolls count as /jp/
John Rivera

Luke Ross
>It's shot and animated pretty impressively and those puppets are beautiful, but man, that voice acting is atrocious.
Chinese / Taiwanese voice acting has historically been pretty bad - cheaply done, and often using a stereotypical cartoon-y voice. It's only recently that you occasionally see productions with better VA work.
That being said, these puppet shows were once skits you could find done in a small village or something, put on by one or two guys. While manipulating the puppets they'd speak all the lines (including the female ones). It sounded terrible really, but the point was that it was more like listening to a storyteller than watching a play.
Nolan Gray
Here is one of a more recent female anti heroine that's not in the pic. She is both pretty and deadly
Looks fake and gay like some 70s sci-fi b-movie. Should've been a normal anime.
Joseph Nelson
>shilling on a taiwanese puppet show board
Benjamin Baker
All of them look like daytime drama antags, except these two, who look like JRPG archetypes.
Isaac Richardson
For those who want to kno how big the puppet are, here is how the puppet work on stage and how big they are. m.youtube.com/watch?v=TwdftDXmyq8 This is from early this year when the puppet show company' director and his men whent to china to promote the show and tradition
Adrian Rogers
they all look like JRPG archetypes lad
Tyler Butler
wrong board taiwan, guess i'll be calling the chinese army on you.
Jacob Hill
I'm interested in knowing whatever JRPG you've played or seen where anyone looks like Boy George.
Jace Bailey
/cgl/ would love the SHIT out of this.
But I'm not telling them.
Liam Thompson
I am going to pose more pretty girls from the show that are not in the above post
Josiah Hughes
FFVI had Amano Yoshitaka doing the designs.
Tyler Richardson
thank you
Ethan Barnes
>Taiwan Did you mean China
Elijah Perry
A-a.....am I actually watching a Taiwanese puppet show?
Did we meme too hard and turn it into reality again?
Luke Sanchez
...
Ethan Bell
China and Taiwan are some of the most alien things to me.
Cameron Anderson
such is the power of meme magic
When all your wishes are granted, many of your memes will be destroyed.
Ethan Green
Not the same, we are an independent country
Tyler Williams
It's still far less weird than kigurumi
Christopher Collins
...
Angel Martinez
Taiwan>China
Hunter Rodriguez
Shh, the Chinese shitposters will come out.
Gavin Martin
No we're the autonomous collective of an anarcho-syndicalist commune.
Ryder Foster
CLAIMED
Austin Johnson
I find a lot of them to be too man-jawed to appear in any JRPG.
Carson Evans
a recent moeblob JRPG sure, but they're right in line with 80s shoujo aesthetics
Gavin Gray
...
Samuel Lewis
why is everyone left handed?
thanks for these btw.
Bentley Anderson
look at dis doll
Eli Wood
>ywn be this fabulous why even live?
Jack Butler
There's also boards for cute girl image dumps and yuri but that doesn't stop anyone.
Ryder Murphy
They're glove puppets.
Now, if the character's main hand is moved by the thumb, the most versatile of the five digits, and the puppeteer is right-handed, then the character will be left-handed.
Luis Sanders
and also for 2D trannies
Ethan Rodriguez
...
Brandon Roberts
figured it'd be something like that. anyway thanks.
Aaron Walker
...
Henry Reed
I don't know about you but once I get through the first few episodes I might circlejerk the shit out of this.
Christopher Jones

Michael Murphy
How much one of these dolls can cost?
Eli Ross
What the fuck are these retarded dolls? Fuck off already
Jason Smith

James Myers
last thread someone said the wooden ones can go for $1500 But plastic replicas are around $200
Jose Morris
>1500 >200 Well, I will settle for a figure, maybe.
