How violent or uncomfortable was this series? MAPPA might deliver as they do for inuysahiki.

This is actually a comfy manga.

child rape, Vietnam War flashbacks, the MC's brother is a vegetable until somebody offs him later on

This is an actual good series, I really hope they won't fuck it up. I wonder if they'll adapt up until the ending

Nice.Seeing its a noitamina slot, I guess amazon's exclusive? Fuck.

...

do not worry
inuyashiki is already airing

Perfect.

Is it really that grim? Why is it cataloged as shounen-ai?

>shounen-ai can't be grim
Look at this faggot

Fujos love suffering.

The series has tons of rapes including male victims but there's no romance or sex between two male protagonists. It's a shoujo but it has no flowers and annoying girls.

it's still shounen

>using the term “shounen-ai” in this decade

Meme magic continues to happen!

The first shounen ai were violent suffering fests galore. It is nothing like the cutesy shit you can find these days.
It's true that it passed the torch to yaoi suffering wise for the most part nowadays, but that doesn't make your statement any less inane.
Watch Kaze to ki no Uta and read Zankoku na Kami ga Shihai Suru if you're interested in not being an ignorant fuck who talks about stuff he knows nothing about.
Pic related, this is shonen ai. Both literally and figuratively.

Yeah, I knew older shonen are modern seinen.
Just look at Made in Abyss

The target demographic of shounen ai isn't young boys.

it's vanilla fujos

>just look at Made in Abyss

it's a shoujo

Not back in the 70s.

...

...

Why do fujos love man-on-man rape so much?

Does this have anything to do with that JD Salinger short story about a WWII vet who killed himself because of PTSD?

>fujoshit
>saving anything

Why do otacu love yuri so much?

I am intrigued. I wonder if the anime's presentation is going to borrow from other recent works of fiction set in the eighties. I always wanted to see an anime series with a neo-eighties vibe.

>Ore Monogatari
>Banana Fish
>Shokugeki no Soma
>Attack on Titan 2
>Full Metal Panic

What's going to be the next meme anime to be adapted? I'm hoping it's Molester Man.

Vanilla is fine. Rape isn't.

You're not supposed to love it.
Well I suppose if you do, that's fine, but even someone as rotten as myself couldn't help but go through this manga with my mouth wide open of sheer horror and morbid curiosity the whole time. Though I also mostly kept going to see if the MC manages to get away from this shit.

Because western idiots still use the term shounen-ai wrongly even though nips have a different meaning for it, and more importantly have left the term in the past. The MCs are kinda in love with each other, let's leave it at that.

And it's shoujo. Grim and violent shoujo since its publishers weren't retarded pussies when it comes to catering to the female audience. I hope the anime is successful and shoujo becomes more varied and exciting.

Ironic that someone calls something yaoi nowadays and tells someone else he is ignorant.

>ironic that someone calls something yaoi nowadays and tells someone else he is ignorant.

Newsflash, the term yaoi is not what nips use nowadays. It does not mean what you think it means. Shounen-ai and yaoi are terms the westerners have warped beyond their original use.

Don't ask me. I don't like homolust of any kind.

Are we on a japanese board?
Tell me, are we?
Original code and current owner don't count.

So you're going to continue being purposely retarded while calling others ignorant and spreading false information? Ok then. Not like it's hard to type BL or anything, but carry on with your cancer.

>Banana Fish
Wait, is this a J.D. Salinger adaption?

I can't wait for further announcements. Is this going to be 2 cour? Are they gonna change the ending? How do the elevens feel about the ending?

Spare me your autism. Yaoi is what I called it all my life, BL is a much more obscure term where I come from, so I just spontaneously use yaoi is all, at least with this word people know what I'm talking about. Nobody's gonna care about the nuance as long as the people I talk to aren't japanese people anyways.
What matters is that my point is properly understood by everyone here.

>attempts to correct someone else about the history of homo in Chinese cartoons
>gets it wrong, also uses wrong terms and makes distinctions that don't exist in Japan
>it doesn't matter because I'm used to being incorrect
Alright then.

If you had just pointed it out without being an ass I would have apologized and corrected myself.
But nah, fuck you, you're a cunt.

>shounen-ai
>shounen
It's a shoujo manga.

>people are now okay with fujoshi bait

>70s
>posts a series published from 1993-2001
Stop being retarded.

It's not but his story is brought up in the manga, it takes place after the Vietnam War and some things like PTSD and troops abusing drugs while in service are brought up.

>I'm going to act retarded on purpose because someone didn't coddle me on the internet
>even though I was the one called someone else an ignorant fuck first
It just gets better and better doesn't it.

I'm looking forward to how they're going to show the 80s too. Hopefully they won't be so stupid as to try and modernize it.

>FREE director
Oh boy

>Free!
>Yuri on Ice
shit, it looks super gay
im in

>crime
>violence
>rape
>the 80's
>homos

sign me the fuck up

Amazing how accurate these fake anime charts can be.

Be honest Sup Forums, how gay is it?

It's actually not so gay. Like naruto / sasuke relationship. The author emphasis on their friendship. Of course fujo can consume it as yaoi material.

Awesome, picked up.

>cataloged as shounen-ai
Which pleb website? It's fucking not.

>yaoishit
>saving anime

Good one

>bros being bros
>yaoi

Fuck off

Stop posting that because it's already a thing.

Yuri on ice is gayer

>shounen ai

Enjoy your fujotrash

Shaggy Dramatically Reads Keit-Ai.

Stop samefagging, retard.

Enjoy your moeshit.

Please, let there be those.

Yaoi is porn, and the term isn't really used in Japan anymore. Shounen-ai hasn't been a genre since the 90s, possibly the 80s. It's BL now, for fuck's sake. Western fans are truly cancerous.

>calls western fans cancerous for using outdated terms
Nippon wiseass is triggered for direspectful gaijins calling yaoi his chinese comics!

I agree, but why are you so autistic about it?
Japan borrows words from English and changes their meaning all the time. 'Donmai' (ドンマイ) does not mean 'don't mind', for instance (it's more like, 'never mind this'). 'Buruma' (ブルマ) are not what you'd call 'bloomers' in English, in Japan being a type of tight and very short shorts.

Reading now.

This is crazy as fuck. Like 50% of the manga I wanted to see animated, even old ones, get adaptions lately.
I kinda want Mother Sarah now, a proper Basara adaption, Eden and a few others.

I really hope that too. I love that style.
Western adaptions always ruin it by mixing in 2000s memes or postponing the setting by two decades in the first place to alure underaged viewers, I hate that.

You should be more shocked it's a shoujo.

>rape isn't
Have you seen japanese porn.

Heh, I didn't read Naruto but weren't people always joking about those two being gay? The bond in Banana Fish felt pretty romantic if unsexual.

>Basara
Patrician taste.

Shoujo is a demographic, not a genre. Shounen-ai isn't a genre anymore either. It would be BL, and BL is more of a subgenre in this case. BL is shoujo or josei because it's made for the female demographic.

>Shoujo is a demographic, not a genre
Nice meme.

...

What do you reckon: 11 episodes of the first volumes, or they streamline the story to finish the entire thing in 22 episodes?The way Ash died was so fucking stupid. I'm glad the manga is so long the anime might not get to that point.

I hope this will be popular because I honestly think there are good shoujo series out there. Shoujo doesn't always mean gigantic eyes and badly written school love triangles.

I read this years ago and I know I liked it but I barely remember anything about the actual plot.

>maruyama leaves madhouse and creates mappa
>it turns into DEEN 2.0 doing yaoi shit while his back turned
JUST

Agree, but also I'd rather it not get an autistic fanbase.

With the power of Fujo pandering Banana Fish might just bring back 80's style anime.

>implying they won't modernize the artstyle

Will this be redesigned to hell like LoGH was? I'm afraid they will look like the Frees.

Why wouldn't you modernise the art style? It's not the 80s. You want nothing but synths on the soundtrack too?

There's modernizing, then there's absolute butchery.

>You want nothing but synths on the soundtrack too?
Well it would be something different so yeah I want that. Almost everything else is the same type of j-pop and nobody ever complains about it.

This isn't a Kyoani project and the character designer isn't limited to keionface.

I don't mind some brushing up but the new character designs should retain some of the original flavor. And keeping the 80s setting is a must.

New Mai Hime series

It's set in the 80's, not the 90's.

It'll be popular with fujos and have a niche following of non fujos

So what is Banana Fish even about? Besides rape.

>You want nothing but synths on the soundtrack too?

Yes.

This

Drugs?

>BL is a much more obscure term where I come from
Please go back to whatever shit site you come from.

Fuck yes. 80s art style all the way, baby

Nothing worse than folks arguing over who is the most elite buttfucking connoisseur.
