yeah "some anime is incomprehensible unless you're already a weeaboo" is one of the coldest takes about anime imaginable

Much like when reading postmodernist fiction you have to let everything that happens in Eromanga-Sensei wash over you and try to make sense of it later

If people think of anime as being uniquely insular, it's because there's a much bigger global demand for it than any other non-American country, and that demand elevates its profile. French animation for instance is extremely impenetrable, and it mostly has to do with its navel-gazing. The Gatchaman reboot is a pretty great example of how something that would seem insular because it utilizes a decades long established property, really isn't at all. You don't have to know anything about Gatchaman, or Battle of the Planets to appreciate Gatchaman: Crowds, and Crybaby pulls off the same thing only with a much wider release on Netflix.

DisDisDis posted:Much like when reading postmodernist fiction you have to let everything that happens in Eromanga-Sensei wash over you and try to make sense of it later honestly you bringing that up basically made it click for me there's a lot of anime targeted toward weeb shits that is pretty much about anime, and probably completely loving incomprehensible unless you're already really familiar with anime fandom in Japan because it's assuming you're going into it with a deep knowledge of that poo poo already. Lucky Star or that I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying show or Genshiken would be more... uh, benign examples of this phenomenon (less so Genshiken than the other two IIRC but it's there). it's not all anime, and it's not even necessarily a large chunk of anime, but it tends to get outsized prominence in anime discussion communities because the loudest weeaboos are the ones who tend to actually understand that poo poo.

unlike the version on Netflix, which... i guess doesn't?  e: like, I genuinely don't understand why anyone would buy the BDs, it's not like we can't watch the series easily already and they give a poo poo about streaming numbers waaaay more than physical media sales.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:unlike the version on Netflix, which... i guess doesn't? Netflix takes stuff off of the streaming service all the time, and while I'm sure Crybaby will be streaming for probably years to come it's good to have the insurance of a physical copy. That said, I wouldn't buy blu rays unless they came with some special features that are actually worthwhile, if a show is still streaming.

Considering Netflix helped fund Crybaby, wouldn't they be able to stream it legally for free indefinitely? If that's the case it doesn't seem like there would be much reason to take it off.

i assume the production had way fewer time constraints so there's probably not much need to touch anything up. i don't think any of yuasa's other shows have had ovas on their disc releases either.

So, I logged into Netflix today and after seeing the trailer play (couldn't reach the mute button in time  ), I saw the letters "Watch Season 1 Now" and curiosity got the better of me: Did they announce / has there been any rumors about a potential second season? Hopefully Devil Lady but more hopefully Violence Jack?

It would be entirely in keeping with the Go Nagai ExperienceTM for the sequel to Crybaby to be some kind of insane fusion of Violence Jack and Devilman Lady.

What if Netflix just kept paying new directors to do Devilman again but with an extra moon each time?

Jesus Christ that was an EXPERIENCE. I went into this blind and I honestly don't know what to say. It's easily one of the best things I've ever watched anime or not. It was such a surreal experience and I did not expect that ending. I thought it was going to be a hero story and that he'd save Miki but, It's been a week and I still don't know how to talk about this. I need to re-watch it for sure.

Improbable Lobster posted:What if Netflix just kept paying new directors to do Devilman again but with an extra moon each time? this is unironically my hope like, it's not like Devilman is a premise you can't keep riffing on. Nagai himself has remade the loving thing at least twice, and there's countless anime that's basically just Devilman all over again. get Shinichiro Watanabe and Takeshi Koike and Mamoru Oshii to do their own takes on the plot and you've got me hard already.

Most Devilman spinoffs seem very dodgy/creepy and maybe a really good director could salvage them, but I feel like doing something like Violence Jack would be a safer bet

let's take this in an alternate direction and get Sciencesaru's version of Cyborg 009 They could make it into the Fast and Furious except with cyborgs and also half of them aren't insufferable and it doesn't take seven hours to get good and if they did change the character designs, they'd know better than to make everyone generically handsome like in those dogshit cg movies

The Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman crossover is pure fanservice. I kept falling asleep trying to watch it because it's so exposition heavy that my brain died.
