Tokyo 2020

Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games opening and no Gundam, Ghost in the Shell nor well known shonen like Dragon Ball, Naruto, Detective Conan or One Piece in sight but Doraemon and fucking Captain Tsubasa.
They could have at least used Slam Dunk.

Don't underestimate the influence of those series and why they'd be used in the context of an Olympics opening showcasing culture

I can understand why they'd gloss over the others, even if One Piece is the biggest selling comic series.

Doraemon is a national symbol. Captain Tsubasa because Brazil. It's easy to understand.

/thread

Gundam already has a huge fucking statue on display that'll be seen.

There will be one thing for every Olympic Ring.

Mario, Pikachu, Godzilla, Doraemon, Gundam.

Captain Tsubasa is the Captain of this Olympic Team of Misfits.

I can understand for the non sports manga but Gundam needed to be there, Japan is well known for its robot culture.
They even used mechanoids at the start of the presentation.

>Gundam on olympic games
Yes please.

Saint Seiya is far more popular in Brazil than Captain Tsubasa

Yeah but Saint Seiya is not soccer.

the music is awesome.

But it has Greek gods, the country where the Olympic games started.

> Gundam holding the Olympic flame

Hmm good point. I still suppose they used Captain Tsubasa because of soccer's popularity in Brazil.

>Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games opening
It was there 10 minute segment of the RIO CLOSING CEREMONY YOU RETARD

The actual opening ceremony for the Tokyo 2020 games will be... in Tokyo, in 2020. How can you fuck this up?

Don't get my hopes up.

> And now this hand of mine is burning RED! Its loud roar tells me to grasp Victory!

Sorry mate, I didn't follow the games so I didn't know it ended with that.
I thought they just showed a preview (trailer/teaser) of their future olympic in japan.

The US felt like a bunch of fucking manchildren in this year Olympic

They could've put Goku and not only Brazil but the entire continent would suck nip cock for all eternity.

Related to the Olympic games, here's a little SOL gem.
youtube.com/watch?v=MdZrbvnxlT8

Neither anime nor manga.
S&R

It will be the Japanese statue of liberty.

You can say it's a thread for the future anime adaptation of Captain Tsubasa Rising Sun manga

> not watchin the vidya

its anime. thanks for contributing with your stupidity

The olimpics is all about sports, why they would put some shonen shit and guys exploding planets you dumb fucks

I wonder when volunteer applications open up!

why does japan anything user

Only autistic weebs would be able to make the connection
Autistics like you

>ctrl + f "akira"
>zero results
what the fuck it literally takes place in 2020 at a tokyo olympics stadium

But motorcycling and taking drugs are not Olympic disciplines.

I get it but i dont think it's appropriate to include a weapon of war in a sports event made for peace.

>Captain Tsubasa.
was responsible for a 200% increase of registrations in soccer clubs in France. It's a legend here. Same in Italia.

...

>Captain Tsubasa because Brazil

God, THIS

That show is SO influential for a lot of Latin American and Spanish soccer players

Doraemon and Cap. Tsubasa are big, not Gundam big but historically more relevant than everything else you said, and not only in Japan.

>You can say it's a thread for the future anime adaptation of Captain Tsubasa Rising Sun manga

We need a Yawara remake or a wrestling anime also

The women's judo and wrestling did really well this year

This makes a lot of sense but at this point Gundam is almost like a mascot. You can easily forget it's actually a killing machine.

Ace wo nerae new anime when

Doraemon Is bigger than anything not called Chibi Maroko Chan and Hello Kitty.

Fortunately, nobody cares about that overrated movie Akira.

Wouldn't Mazinger make more sense than Gundam for Tokyo 2020?

>weapon of war
It is not a weapon, it is a vessel for UNDERSTANDING.

Faggot this is not the opening. It's a short video reminding people where the next games are being held.

It's a video they wanted to circulate. Vidya games are the most meme-worthy and popular thing Japan produces so it was an easy decision on what to feature.

The manga was better anyway.

>Doraemon
>Cap. Tsubasa
>vidya
Did you hit your head or are you just dumb?

There is also Sazae-san, no?

Anybody got a link to the Luffy Olympics/Rio commercial with the footballer?

You're still surprised anime is considered niche around the world?

>Doraemon
>Not Pokemon or Gundam

Fuck it Japan, you had one job

I like you Banagher.
That understanding(lowercase) by the way.

The actual performance had music that sounded like something out of GitS

Memeposting and shitposting aside, that was a quite the entrance for the prime minister. Can't say it didn't deliver hype.

I literally can't wait to spam anime girls on Sup Forums day and night.

I want shounenshits to fuck off

Literally no one in Japan knows what Ghost in the Shell is.

>vimeo.com/179707060
That was beautiful, God I can't wait.

Doraemon Is more fun than anything you mentioned.

Abe looked like such a jackass in that shitty Mario cosplay. Yuriko Koike as Sally was way better

This is an exaggeration, but I really wish that Americans understood that what they like != what Japan likes.

Waiting four years for that? Why not simply do it now?

It's not the same, you need a reason to do it or it's Canada-tier of shitposting.

Doraemon is not very popular outside of Japan but it's as big as those other two in Japan itself, if not bigger, so it's more Japanese than Pokemon in a sense while being less inappropriate than Gundam.

Among fans of SF anime Ghost in the Shell really is very well known. Just not by normal people

Imagine the hype when the actual 2020 opening ceremony has Gundam, Attack on titan, Touhou, Precure, Shounen jump MCs and basically every other iconic character showing up in a massive hologram ensemble.

I liked that it ended with the end of stage Mario theme. Leave to Japan to do something that silly.

>not found
Is it only me or does Japan just really hates the cunt where I live?

I hope this post is sarcastic.

Man I hate Banagher. Just stick to banging your slut or whatever.

They removed it, but here's the short version.
youtube.com/watch?v=FNuqKVG781I

Japan here. We fucking hate you.

How could they forget the classic cultural icon Boku No Pico? They must be holding it as a surprise, or maybe because there's no ice for the summer games.

Other franchises involved

These threads feel like a joke everyone but me is in on.

>and fucking Captain Tsubasa
Actual footballers regularly say Captain Tsubasa is one of their favourite series.

Fuck you, fattie.

Ah and I was hoping that Japan would make a little Char Aznable joke by making all of their runners, swimmers and racers dress in red so they would be 3 times faster at whatever they did.

>Touhou

Could Japan finish second in the medal league with homefield advantage? They obviously can't beat USA.

Rei throwing a Lance WHEN

Fuck, m8 is that legit?

>No Macross
A bit salty about this but the roster seems pretty good on it's own either way

I wonder how much Toei donated to the LDP to make this list happen

HOLY SHIT THAT IS SHIINA RINGO. OH MY GOD I LOVE HER SHIT.

I thought it sounded like her stuff but wasn't sure without hearing her voice. Which song was it?

Great taste.

London Olympics featured James Bond, it is totally feasible for Gundam to be in the Tokyo opening ceremony.

Why is japanese music so distinctive?

Those pretty cures with their little silly pointy witch hats look cute, but somewhat out of place. At least, I really doubt that they'll still be around in 4 years.

Perhaps we'll have olympics-focused pretty cure-sentais then, though.

>Doraemon is not very popular outside of Japan
Pretty sure Doraemon is goddamn popular in whole Asia alone.

"ちちんぷいぷい/Chi-chin puipui" from the album "Hi Izuru Tokoro"

I honestly had no clue. It's still less of a world-wide franchise like Pokemon.

You do know Pretty Cure exists since 2004, right?

This was shown at the ending ceremony of Rio?

Make the Olympics great again!

America is literally the only place it isn't popular in.

Yes.

The only place Doraemon is not popular is USA

Somehow I felt Eva should be in represented by either EVA01 or Rei Ayanami.

I think Anno with his hatred for Rei ended up ruining that. Man, what a douche.

Back when China was still a backwater country, every asian kid, especially the chinese, grew up watching doraemon.

Doraemon isn't known in Brazil.

>tfw Doraemon and Captain Tsubasa were so big in your country your mom called for you to watch this shit before Mario even appeared

nice

I can't really blame them for putting all shonenshit up there, but I guess I still am a little bitter.

Thanks.

>old Sailor Moon design

No one gives a shit about Brazil.
