Sup Forums or Sup Forums

If a show's main creative staff are American, animated by a French studio that moved its headquarters to Japan to more easily hire Japanese freelancers, does it belong on Sup Forums or Sup Forums?

If it's shit it's a cartoon, if it's good it's anime.

user, all I know is that Japanese/French productions tend to be neat.

_______
It is the 16th century. From all over Europe great ships sale west to conquer the new world, the Americas. These men eager to seek their fortune, to find new adventures in new lands. They long to cross uncharted seas and discover unknown countries. To find secret gold on a mountain trail high in the Andes. They dream of following the path of the setting sun that leads to Eldorado, and the Mysterious Cities Of Gold.

Children of the Sun, see your time has just begun,
Searching for your way through Adventures every day.

Every day and night with the condor in flight
With all your friends in tow we search for the Cities of Gold

CHORUS:
(Ahhhh-ah-ah-ah) Wishing for the Cities of Gold
(Ahhh-ah-ah-ah) Someday we will find the Cities of Gold!

(Doo doo doo do doo - Ahh-ah-ah - Doo doo doo do doo) Cities of Gold

Children of the Sun, someday soon you're gonna find
That your destiny holds the secret, holds the key

CHORUS

(Doo doo doo do doo - Ahh-ah-ah)
(Doo doo doo do doo) Cities of Gold

(Doo doo doo do doo) Cities of Gold
(Ahhh-ah-ah-ah) Someday we will find the Cities of Gold!

It's worth noting the studio members themselves still identify as French which is why they call their studio "Franco-Japanese" after the HQ move as opposed to Japanese. Even their official website is a ".fr" one and in French only.

I think it's It's borderline (far moreso than Panty & Stocking or Avatar) but leans more towards Sup Forums.

It's not directly comparable to Afro Samurai, which was made mainly for America but was still a Japanese story whose creative forces were Japanese people. Afro was based on a doujin/manga (self-published original work) by a Japanese guy, written by Japanese people, produced by a 100% Japanese studio.

One interesting thing about French animation is that they more often give their animators jobs than the US. If they hire jap freelancers to do the animation then that's kinda lost.

And then for this show they'll have American writers and an American director too so there's not much to say about French storytelling either.

Also Lesean Thomas is kind of a doofus with a very gaijin Toonamifag understanding of what anime is and worldviews mindlessly copypasted from his friends and so I doubt he'll have anything interestingly to say story-wise. Only his drawings are interesting, but even he acknowledges he's not as good as the japs he's inspired by which is why he's outsourcing that aspect.

Oh also I suspect the Iso pirates show project, if it ever does get made, will be far more Japanese-driven because the guy's a legend in the industry and he'll likely get Japanese writers and whatnot even if the studio is run by frenchies.

The only big difference between this and Aeon Flux is that the Westerners making it are actually producing it in Japan to hire freelancers easier. Aeon Flux even had Japanese character designers.

>worldviews mindlessly copypasted from his friends
>accuse somebody you don't like of being incapable of independent thought

So I'm guessing this means ya'll have an eternal hate boner for this dude because he has views to (probably only even sightly) the left of Sup Forums ?

Are the original VAs going to be Japanese, or not? That's test #1.

I'm unironically a socialist who thinks a lot of cops are racist murderers. Do the math.

But okay, here's a specific example: "Fiction having sexist and violent content leads to real-world sexism and violence". When his (mostly black male) audience takes issue with this he says "this would have more impact if a woman said it". A woman did agree with them and he proceded to completely ignore her & keep arguing with the guys. When asked if The Boondocks is harmful by having rape jokes with the victim as the butt of the joke he once again had no answer.

Dude's a doofus.

The writers are all American so why would you go through the effort of translating if it's being made for Americans? I'm pretty sure the answer is no. It's being produced by Crunchyroll too, and I don't mean that as in "Crunchyroll gave some funding to Luluco and Kemono Friends among many other companies" but it's presented as "Crunchyroll's show".

So uh, how was Cannon Busters? Did that air yet?

Pretty much. Thomas has worked both on Western shit and Anime,

while this faggot
Hasn't done shit with his life.

>YOU'RE A Sup Forums NAZI
>actually my views are pretty universally to the left
>uh I... I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU DO BETTER

He's making his own anime, while you're getting triggered on Sup Forums. Just saiyin

Anime is an Art-style

technically things like rwby and korra should be allowed here, but weebs are autistic and hate their own culture so much that it'll never be accepted

>Anime is an Art-style
Animation is an art style? What?

>2 things can't be true at once
wow user really put the old noggin to use, huh?

I'd take a swing and say Sup Forums but I wouldn't be surprised (nor too mad about) seeing Sup Forums threads popping up.

Then can american film studio make a french film or an american production make a British comedy?

Not in this case, no. Unless you don't consider Crayon Shin Chan, PSG, Dead Leaves or Super Milk Chan to be anime since they don't have that "style".

It's a fucking medium, not a genre, not an art style.

It's being made by a person who literally believes in WE WUZ KANG N SHIET
But really it doesn't fit here

Yes in this case. I mean pretending to be retarded is cool too.

Anime = Japanese animation
Anime = An Artstyle originating from Japanese Animation

>you can't say tommy wiseau is a doofus, he made a movie and you didnt

There were some black KANGZ in egypt the problem is he plugs mentally ill white history revisionist 'medievalpoc'

He's only a doofus because he dares to be successful without being some kind of house nigger who doesn't speak up about shit and it triggers you i get it. Really. Stay triggered, Snowflake

Anime is not an art style, it never was an art style and it never will be. It's like calling comics an art style, when not every artist draws the same and oh yeah it's a fucking story telling medium.

>WE WUZ KANG N SHIET
Steve harvey? I mean he's the only person i know who pronounces "kangs" like that so i always assume you people watched family feud or some shit and assume all Blacks talk this way

fpbp
Sup Forums an absolute cesspool

This user speaks the truth. Don't let Sup Forums invade this place

Crying about triggering cartoons and video games on the internet (while working on equally 'problematic' material yourself & refusing to acknowledge it and also ignoring women who disagree with you despite asking for female opinions) is BLACK POWER now? I'm gonna cry about how anime is gross and UGH on Twitter and that'll end systemic racism somehow I guess

If it was a smart black lib like Aaron McGruder (who people misake Lesean for even though he only worked on the visual side of the show had had nothing to do with the writing) I'd be supporting this but Lesean is just boring

" a style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children."

>style of film and animation that originated from Japan
>nowhere does it specify its origin must be japanese
>STYLE
>meaning an artstyle, filmstyle that can be used by anyone

Straight from Google, so I guess you must've had fun pretending to be retarded. that's not really my kind of fun though

the dictionary definitions either never mention what that style is and if they do it's a terrible definition by which 90s-onwards batman cartoons are anime
>a Japanese style of motion-picture animation, characterized by highly stylized, colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sexuality.

Weren't some Korra episodes animated by Pierrot?

Yeah and the best Animaniacs and Tiny Toons was animated by TMS but you never see anyone call Animaniacs anime

Animeniacs

To elaborate on my opinion from earlier I see anime as a cartoon where the main creative driving forces are Japanese

The main creative forces of Children of Ether are Americans first and French people second, Japanese people are just on the visual side doing what American director Lesean is telling them to do.

Meanwhile Afro Samurai was created, written, directed etc by japs. Target audience doesn't matter.
