>Hiroaki Hirata
mmmm yess

>MAPPA

How do these guys keep doing 24 episode shows?

I hope it keeps up till Pluto in 2020.

Is the blonde guy a homo?

He fucks guys, but I wouldn't say he likes it.

You mean he fucks dirty old men for money? Thought this was fujoshit.

>LOGH looking animation style
holy fuck it might actually be kino

It's been a while since I've read it, but asides from the OHOHOHOHO I think anything else needed fujo goggles.

>The show's staff also revealed at the event that the anime will take place in modern day New York, instead of in the 1980s when the original manga took place
How the actual fuck would this ever be a good idea?

he is a prostitute?

>will stream inside and outside of Japan only on Amazon Prime Video
Does this mean they got Amazon money just like Kabaneri a while ago?

I think as long as they keep them as actually murderous gangbangers and not go the Devilman Crybaby route it could work out.

I'll miss the 80s look, though.

It's not.

What did devilman crybaby do wrong? Besides be set in a modern time.

It's not a good idea, especially considering Utsumi literally said that she'd never heard of Banana Fish before taking on the project.

He had a gf

In the process of "modernizing" the delinquents, they were kind of neutered. Like going around rapping at people instead of actually trying to beat them up.

Well that just fills me to the brim with optimism.

He is a former sex slave. He was taken advantaged of by filthy old men when he was a kid.

Wait, does this read left to right? That totally threw me off.

Devilman Crybaby was fine because it adopted an entirely new style. This one seems to just be sort of meandering between 80s and its own style.

Back in my day, young whippersnapper, everything got mirrored when it was localized.

Damn.. you got me.

>not set in the 80's

FUCKING SHIT WHY DO THEY DO THIS

I started reading this last month and I was like 2 vols in when I realized it was flipped.

>He also has an IQ of over 180, which is also combined with excellent battle skills
Is he also intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor?

The only thing I disliked more than the ending was the fact that Ash was too OP sometimes

by rushing it after the first three

>Amazon
Is this bad? Delayed subs?

Nah, HS rips them too. Maybe a bit of delay but not days or anything

Bets on this slut's VA? Who has the best manslut voice?

The manslut VA is already voicing the MC.
