Teiko Kagohara of the music group Shoujoshiki Elise as Sara.
Please be as good as Penguindrum
yep, it's fujoshit. dropped.
I just wanted to ask if this was the Penguindrum of our time and here you are, stealing my lines.
It looks sightly less gay now
nice
i hope theres anal
Where the fuck are the cute girls? This isn't the Ikuhara I know.
She's cute.
Yurikuma was already yurishit enough,.
Noticed that Sara also have kappa form, interesting.
The main question however, which one of the three boys going to penetrate her anus?
If she is also a kappa then she's Keppi's waifu.
Please be better than Penguindrum
She's going to penetrate their anuses. She also has the same symbols as them.
Oh I just realise all those ア (a) symbol are probably the anus balls
Sara is so fucking cute but the music is creepy.
Anime Japan 2019 special stage on March 24 with Murase, Uchiyama, Horie
Pre-screening of the first three episodes on March 31st with Ikuhara, Murase, Uchiyama, Miyano and Hosoya.
Is this a homosexual anime?
So she's aidoru?
Watching anime itself is homosexual.
The girl will surely be someone's love interest
Only faggots watch anime.
At least one of the boys is definitely gay
My bet is on the black hair emo being a repressed closet homo
>emo boy smiling
Ikuhara sure knows what he's doing.
Keep dreaming hetfag. Ikuhara likes to keep his boys several feet away from his girls if he can help it.
Technically it about pansexuality and transgender people
According to the description on the site:
>MC of the local Asakusa's program "Sakusa Sara TV", local of (Asakusa's) district.
>Technically
>The synopsys never mentions such themes
Stop spreading bullshit, back to
What a cuck
local idol*
>I feel irritated to see my girl getting together with some other guy
True waifufag
which one of the two cops is going to die?
>At least one of the boys is definitely gay
I bet one of them is trans
Both.
Both but megane might be already dead from a gunshot to the head.
It's an otome anime.
Finally! Been waiting for her to be revealed for months. Wonder if she’s still going to connected to her gay dads in the anime.
Someone translate the lyrics
There has to be clues there
It’s interesting how small Sara looks on the new new key visual compared to every other character. And her kappa thing doesn’t have its own page, implying that it’s her. I wonder if she’s the one who cursed them or something or at least had something to do with.
Also knowing Ikuhara, since he really doesn’t have any other character he could make a random lesbian, he’s probably going to make Sara the token lesbian for the Yuris lmao
If this isn't 22+ episodes it's going to be shit
She has a different last name. "Azuma".
Maybe in the anime she wasn't raised by them.
If Sara is the same kappa as the one on the boat and she has a human form, I wonder if Keppi has one as well.
Ikuhara never makes fully homosexual men in his shows, they will at most be bi like in utena
The cops are background narrators so they don't count
She could have her own last name for a variety of reasons. Could be a stage name. She is an Idol after all. Or she found out what her real last name is. Or she got taken away from them at a young age and ended up being raised by a different family.
Since the manga came out FIRST, it’s unlikely that they wouldnt treat it as a prequel and thusly it would be kinda ?? To remove the plot point that they raised her. Since Ikuhara manga usually come out after theAnime airs.
This is the first show that Ikuhara is making about boys, with the premise being a blatant metaphor for homosexuality. The cops are supporting characters, they do count. And they’re given bigger presences on the new key visual than Sara, implying that their presence is more important to the story.
Hoping Sara’s not reduced to a stupid love interest plot device but given the premise of the show, I HIGHLY doubt she will. She seems kind of ominous and evil in a way. I wonder what her role will be.
Sara's name is literally in the title so I doubt she is just a side character
not sure if it's completely accurate but someone will correct me anyways
in the classroom where everyone disappeared
one is crouching
(kappa)
about the mysterious events that happened today
one is worrying alone
when arriving to the school
on the desk aah
the flower wilted
no one replies if I talk to them
they can't see me
no one is looking at me
they just can't see me
(repeats 3x)
>no one replies if I talk to them
>they can't see me
>no one is looking at me
>they just can't see me
Is she dead too or bullying by ignoring?
it's the girl that looks like some kind of spirit or god
ah wait, it's "flowers were put on the desk"
I confused okureteita with kareteita
>flowers were put on the desk
So someone did die. Sara's a ghost.
Her design is really lovely. Interested to see what her role in the story will be.
I'm getting more excited about this anime. I just hope it's better than YKA was.
>Since the manga came out FIRST
So does Yurikuma manga and see how different it is compared to the anime.
This gets more penguindrum like by the day. Thats a very good thing.
Sara is 100% an antagonist of some sort. I mean it was obvious before, but that insert song is extremely creepy and villainous.
no one dies in ikuhara anime, they only disappear and get forgotten
Top left is best boy
We higanbana now?
>>The synopsys never mentions such themes
Imagine being a brainlet you need things in a synopsis.
The main trio are pink, blue and yellow, the colors of the pansexual pride flag
I think it's just custom to put flowers in a vase on a classmate's desk who passed away
This is such a western-centric pov I hope nips will translate this thread just to laugh at your posts
I going to suggest to ignore such posts in future. Telling it to fuck off won't work either. It's similar to the shit ZLS got over that trap character. It doesn't matter if it's for real or a roundabout troll.
Ikuhara is well known to subscribe to western feminist queer theory

“Afterschool Kappa” by Azuku Sara with Shoujoshiki Elise
In the classroom with no one left
Squatting down alone
A kappa
Today’s incomprehensible events
Troubled alone
A kappa
When I arrived at school
On top of the desk ah
There had been placed flowers
When I speak to someone there is no reply
They do not see me
I’m not caught in anyone’s line of sight
They just do not see me
When I speak to someone there is no reply
They do not see me

RIP Sara.
It might be part of bullying besides the ignoring to place the flowers on her desk.
Those eyes are adorable.
Those brows are hideous.
/thread
Considering Sara's an idol(both in universe and for the show)the lyrics don't have to be related to her. Remember all the songs sung by Triple H in Penguindrum.
It's also an obvious metaphor for social isolation and doesn't mean there's any character that fits it literally.
If it's fujo... no thank you.
Also the song's title is "afterschool kappa"? It's clearly about the boys, in the emo boy's profile it's written that he is isolated in class.
having a main cast of boys doesnt mean its always gays like it does with girls
So it could be good
It doesn't, but if you expect the worst you can't be disappointed. Most of the time...
>Sarazanmai is now trans awareness because something something Japan politics
Kys already with yout /pol/ stuff, dumbass.

>Ikuhara
He has a thing for yurishit not male homo.
Akio fucked all the males (and females) in Utena
You mean like Penguindrum, his best work?
imagine being this wrong
YIKES! Someone is angry
He said he wanted to do something different this time, apparently.
But at the same time, the only female character has her name in the title, and the manga was about Sara and the the two cops. He'll either add a new female character later for the yuri, or the gay shit will be with the boys.
Touga also pleased old men for money in the movie.
See It's just for (you)s.
can't fucking wait for comfy spring afternoons with Ikuhara anime.
>comfy
I hope not. It has to be electrifying
Go back to your own show Sanetoshi.
the spring afternoons will be comfy. I hope the anime will be full blown Ikuhara
Just you wait, he will be Sanetoshi's sexier brother.
>all male cast
>already looks bad
It's gonna be worse than YKA. Ikuhara will never return to his glory days.
>sara
>male
Ikuhara was the prickposter all along.
You're blind.
What's the possibility that this is actually a reverse harem?
Is Sara's animal thing confirmed to be a kappa too? It looks a bit like a rabbit and her design was already giving me Kaguya-hime vibes.
I hope this great design doesn't go to waste.
Sara will choose a husband out of the 3 boys.
>Penguindrum
>Ikuhara's best work
That said if this is as good as Penguindrum it will be a great show and it seems to be following some of its themes and visuals. Is there any news on its length?
Ikuhara is too much of a sperg to allow a girl to actually end up with a boy
It's body and tail is the same as Keppi.
>one female
It's literally an all-male cast outside of her character, plus I feel like she'll just be a plot device. On top of that the PVs haven't done anything for me. I love Ikuhara, but YKA was a huge disappointment and I have a gut feeling this series will follow in its footsteps.
YKA is a bottom of the barrel trash. I doubt he will manage to sink lower. PV actually looks more interesting, at least
>I doubt he will manage to sink lower
I really hope so. The only good things to come out of YKA were the OP/ED.
She doesn't have a beak like kappa
She can't be just a "plot device"
I didn't think it was that bad, it was mediocre at worst. It still had enough Ikuhara flair to entertain me.
How much of creative control Ikuhara had over yuribears compared to TV Utena?
I feel like a good chunk of what made Utena good was held on Enokido's shoulders.
If it's as good as Yuri kuma it will be Aoty
Sadly YKA wasn't even good
Emo boy is cute.
They maybe the Triple H of this show
Ikuhara literally left Toei because of the lack of creative control and formed his own creative group instead. I would imagine that he played a huge role in Utena.
Imagine being faggot
Then it truly feels like he needs someone to hold back his shit fetishes to make actually good things.
Yka is best work git sum gud taste nigger
YKA was co-directed by the guy behind Revue Starlight (Tomohiro Furukawa) and did have a similar feel and similar problems, so I'd say we can blame him for it. This time he has Nobuyuki Takeuchi which directed Fireworks, but also the 9th Penguindrum, and storyboarded various great Shaft episodes.
Based
>YKA was co-directed by the guy behind Revue Starlight
Oh this actually explains a lot.
>Nobuyuki Takeuchi which directed Fireworks, but also the 9th Penguindrum, and storyboarded various great Shaft episodes.
Fireworks was kinda shit, although the rest are great.
Welcome to last year, slowpoke.
>Yka is best work
Peak delusional.
Penguindrum is vastly overrated for shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. It let me a sour taste for apparently trying to subvert the Japanese bullshit of kids having to pay for their parents's sins for reinforcing it at the end (REEEE THIS IS OUR PUNISHMENT), most probably for being a rushed product (Ikuhara admited he discarded his plans for the second half because Fukushima and was improvising). I liked Yurikuma better, despite it was fucked by the lenght.
Big
>hetshitters already trying to ruin this
he went to mappa to for a reason and went to a fujo event to tell everyone there that he wanted to try something different this time.
are we sure Sara is a girl? What if she is a trap like Fisheye?
The cops confirmed she is a girl in the manga.
There's a page in the manga where the megane cop asks the blond cop why he called the baby Sara and how he's sure of her gender, he answers that he checked when he changed her diaper.
But who knows.
>You mean like Penguindrum, his best work?
AGF isn't a fujo event. Having 3 males as main is something different yes.
Iirc the spin off manga with her as a baby confirms it when her gay otter dads change her
Fuck off fujo/homo. I'm complaining because it looks lackluster so far. I'm not asking for something on Utena-level, but at least Penguindrum-level.
They will ruin this until ep 3 or so, then they'll fuck off like every anime o fthis type.
We haven't seen a single frame of the actual show yet though
I hope Ikuhara will ruins this for you personally, landwhale
They still haven't recovered from Madoka and YoI, don't be too harsh on them.
We have PVs. We have info. Not looking good to me.
Ikuhara has no connection to either work.
That's how big the hetfag butthurt became when the two AOTDs were yuri and yaoi.
Mentally ill. Fujos, yurifags, and homos are the most entitled fucks.
>MUH HE HAS TO BE GAY
>MUH SHE CANT BE INTO GUYS
>MUH SHES ACTUALLY TRANS
Kill yourself.
I actually like the boys' kappa forms more, I hope they stay like that for most of the show.
The characters look unfinished, unoriginal. The best design goes to Sara.
>Having 3 males as main is something different yes
There's tons of BL at that event though, and he's not gonna make otomeshit because we all know how much he loves his lesbians.
Me having to read your shitty grammar ruined my day, fatso.
They still have nothing to do with Ikuhara. Bring up YKA or Utena is you want to talk about yuri in Ikuhara's work.
They will go away after the first month like always.
>AOTDs were yuri and yaoi.
Ping Pong the Animation is AOTD though.
Not anymore entitled than waifufags who self insert through all male characters though.
>MUH HE HAS TO BE GAY
An anime made by crazy author who loves to put LGBTQ things in his works and where the focus is on male kappa prince stealing soul balls from three main cast boy's anuses.
if it won't be homo and none of the boys will be sexually used by the pink haired guy and all boys will be completely straight for the Sara character I'm gonna be quite surprised.
>reading comprehension
As expected of a hetshitter
I didn't say anything about it being otome. AGF is an event for girls, not just for fujos.
>are the most entitled fucks.
You are kidding right? They are used to eat to crumbs if anything.
You have no idea how big and loved Ikuhara is, and probably never watched shows directed by him. This is not your comfy yaoishit sol like Free.
So you agree you're a entitled bunch? Good to know. Just because waifufags are insufferable, doesn't mean you fucks have to be just as insufferable.
The balls that kappa steal out of people's anuses are a major plot point, so yes there certainly will be.
>straighthomos already having a meltdown months before the actual show starts
Is this a record?
Well he's gonna need to introduce another female before we can talk about lesbians. (Probably 2 since Sara doesn't seem like a grounded character but rather more of the omnipresent antagonistic magical girl)
>stealing soul balls from three main cast boy's anuses.
Is this actually a thing? Because if so, then it's going to be absolute garbage. Shame how Ikuhara has fallen.
Not enough waifus to fap to?
It's a big even that gathers tons of fujos, and fujos are girls. AGF also advertises things for Yumes too but I doubt he's gonna make anything catering to them.
Sara's last name, Azuma, has the kanji for "five" and "wife", could this mean something?
Don't blame Ikuahara because you're a retard who doesn't know anything about Japanese culture or folklore. Stealing souls out of the ass is literally on nip childrens shows.
Not a guy. His previous works featured a ton of women so I'm used to it that way.
She will be the kappa prince wife.
>It's a big even that gathers tons of fujos, and fujos are girls. AGF also advertises things for Yumes too
That's what I said. It''s not an event just for fujos.
I bet she and Suwabes character fuck.
Hot kappa sex.
Then watch something else. "Show doesn't have enough cute girls" is a good pleb filter for the likes of you anyway.
But he's still not gonna make anything that'd cater to otomefags.
But she will fall in love and marry one of the boys instead.
Ignore the screeching landwhale
yeah right
>who doesn't know anything about Japanese culture or folklore.
I do know some. Forgive me for not being a Japanophile.
I didn't say he would or not but it's a show that targets the female audience.
Or eat one of them. I'd bet on the glasses kid. Everyone knows Red/Blue always wins.
>my girl
So Usagi was Ikuhara's waifu? Plus he already did romance between the opposite sex in Penguindrum.
No! Sara is for the kappa prince!
>go into fujobait threads
>spergs about fujos
Kappa and shirokadama are pretty basic shit. You've probably seen them referenced in anime without even noticing. You're post is still retarded but at least you see that now.
It's an Ikuhara thread, you filthy pleb.
so why would he do it now when he said he wanted to do something different?
Kys you ignorant piece of trash.
Ikuhara is kinda a troll in his interviews. He also claims that he got the idea for Utena when he encountered an UFO
>watch penguindrum as it airs
>first season is fun and ok
>second season is just a big question mark
>read threads on Yea Forums
>symbolism
>symbolism symbolism symbolism
>never heard of these symbolism things
>ending
>what is this i dont even
Eh, I think I'm dropping this even before it airs. So minus dropping, is that possible even?
>boys with kappa forms
>a shark bishonen
picked up
>he said he wanted to do something different
I think he was referring to the fact that the main cast is almost entirely male, which is different for Ikuhara and not any possible love interests for one of the supporting (? Shes not in the main trio but this is unclear) characters.
When did I argue that he would? I'm just stating that he already did a romance between the opposite sex which makes me question how old this interview is. It can't be recent.
Jiiiii~
and the fact that he made two gay cops.
>adds in yuri shit because he cant bear to see his waifu get with a guy
my sides are in orbit.
So you think he's gonna make the cast het now that it's mostly all boys?
Most of his lesbians (excluding YKA) have taken the dick at some point right?
Utena took a currydick too.
We can't know that for sure until the show airs, but he did say the boys need to connect "in that way" in order to succeed.
Penguindrum wasn't a female lead. In that post he's talking about how it's a shame that guys take a lot of spotlight in shows with female leads once the relationship gets romantic. He never said anything about not doing het romance altogether. Also the highlighted part is obviously meant jokingly.
In Utena it was shown as evil though.
No. Just that you're argument is stupid.
dont really remember but now anthy x utena feels dishonest in a way. did he put them together because he genuinely liked them a couple or was it that one of them was his waifu and he couldnt bear to have them end up with a guy?
Sure but its not waifufag behavior unless hes into NTR.
He can do whatever he wants, including making the boys fall in love with the girl. You're screaming over nothing, as if Ikuharafags aren't used to his ways.
He isn't gonna abandon gay themes just because the cast is mostly all male though. I mean, the cops are gay but everyone keeps interjecting about the YKA manga was different to make sure this is het as possible.
I think Ikuhara was trolling with that interview. He was the one who suggested Anno to show Rei pregnant with some random guy's child, the sole idea until this day still make the reifags in Yea Forums seethe, and he directed the Sailor Moon R movie. Also Kanba/Himari was his Penguindrum's OTP, fucking terrible taste though, while the Japanese audience fucking love Ringo/Shouma, another het pairing.
You're too dramatic and obvious new to Ikuhara threads.
>He isn't gonna abandon gay themes
The two cops are gay so he's not abandoning "gay themes". This is Ikuhara, you never really know where it's gonna go with him. It could be gay, or it could have all the boys fall for the one girl, or have one boy fall for her with another boy pining for said boy, or have them be bi.
The manga being different is a valid point. Ikuharafags should know better than some fujoshit only in it for teh yaoiz.
>but now anthy x utena feels dishonest in a way
Did you even watch Utena?
Anyone going to the advance screening?
He literally says he's kidding in that interview. This is the same guy that let both of those girls get CURRIED by an adult man in the same show. If you think he cares about purity and waifufagging you're an idiot.
>o to show Rei pregnant with some random guy's child
for what purpose? she was like 14 in the canon storyline. is he into NTR?
He enjoys triggering self inserting waifutards like (You)
>this thread
Boy the threads are.gonna be something alright when it airs.
No it's not, and it's not any different from yurifags that flock to his shit anyway.
Can't wait for the scene where the three boys strip down to fetish gear and two of them lick the other one's symbolic banana
- It was a timeskip
- The sole fact you see it as NTR, like Rei was your girlfriend, was exactly what Ikuhara was criticizing
>Yuri
Ok
>yaoi
No way faglord
Yeah it might be some fujos first Ikuhara.
Fuck of dogfucker
yuri is a dying genre
>He was the one who suggested Anno to show Rei pregnant with some random guy's child,
No, Ikuhara said he wanted Rei to get married and become pregnant. You're making it sound like he told Anno to have her knocked up by some stranger. He just wanted the inane waifufags to get a grip of reality since the Rei craze was out of control.
>implying that many wont drop it early cause it turns out to be proper shit from the get-go
What if Sara is a fujoshi and she ships them together but like in an evil way?
Because he wanted to give waifufags a wake up call.
Same reason he had Utena sleep with Akio.
Plebs like you should be filtered out by the lack of waifus so why are you here?
Many will drop it because it's 2DEEP4Ushit.
1>3>
Blue a best.
Obligatory
Red eyes is the only cute one.
All three are meh.
Pink will be Sara's boyfriend and the other 2 are gay.
Sara will eat pink and the other two will cry because they had a crush on him.
All are ugly. Honestly the anime will probably be underwhelming overall, but we'll get a few good scenes out of it.
I just want to know how many episodes.
I think it was confirmed to be 13 episodes last year.
Source? I thought they never said anything but people assumed.
Hopefully that discourages all the self inserters then.
I don’t recall that being confirmed anywhere.
>self inserters
OBSESSED
Did that hit a nerve?
What's this about fujo/yuridanshi crowd and throwing "self-insert" around like if it meant anything
...
Fujos are mentally ill. This isn't something new.
Really? If you have the source please post it.
Yet you're still here arguing with fujos.
I think it's their way to get back at straight males who are obsessed with their waifus. One side is obsessed with gay shit and want to see these characters fall in love and fuck each other while the other side is obsessed with waifus and wish she would fall in love with him and fuck him hence why they self-insert. Both sides are just as embarrassing, and neither is better than the other despite what they want to believe. Fujos will rage if something doesn't go their way just like waifufags do.
An Ikuhara show should be watched for him only.
>I think it's their way to get back at straight males who are obsessed with their waifus.
They aren't throwing it only at waifufags though. The moment someone just laughs at their delusional homo ships this word appears pretty much instantly.
What a chore. Here's hoping it's 2DEEP4U for the average anime fan and they will drop off after a few episodes.
middle one is just Anthy genderswap recolor
change my mind
Fujo aren't anywhere nearly entitled as waifufags. They are the kind of people who rage at fucking Erased
I agree.
>The moment someone just laughs at their delusional homo ships this word appears pretty much instantly.
My point. They're obviously going to label you a straight male since you would try to wave off/laugh at a gay pairing. Which is why they immediately mention "self-inserters" and "waifus" which are terms heavily associated with men.
You're delusional. Fujos and yurifags have become just as entitled over the years, especially the ones residing in the West.
Will he be /ss/ with his neechan?
Go to any shounenshit or Mob thread user. You will start hating fujos way harder than some waifufags. They are easily as bad if not more obnoxious, same with yuritards.
In this case it's because people keep trying to deny any homo the moment Ikuhara decided to do a mostly male cast show, will it all be gay? Probably not, but even the canon homo is being argued away by mentioning his other works, even though he said this project would be different.
Good one.
>Erased
Try seeing the Masamune threads.
>he said this project would be different.
You don't know what he meant by that statement though. It's not as if this would be the first series where Ikuhara adds male romance. Utena had some. For all we know, the whole "project will different" line could be referring to the fact that his cast is mostly all male, something he's never done before.
the song also uses "boku" as the personal pronoun, which is used by young boys, it's not uncommon for young girls to use it too though
There are many more examples of waifufags sperging over NTR or some bullshit. There's a reason why Love Live doesn't have male characters.
Sorry, It wasn't confirmed to be 13 but I think it's going to be one cour since they finished the recordings in November of last year and they showed a pic with all the episodes storyboards and that pic only had enough storyboards for a one cour series. We'll have to wait a bit more for confirmation since the Summer Noitamina slot wasn't taken yet.
>There are many more examples of waifufags sperging over NTR or some bullshit.
There's a ton, no doubt about that. Fujos have definitely caught up to them though.
>Tokyo ghoul
Maybe he just acquired good taste.
Okay can you both fuck off with the unrelated meta already.
>About Sarazanmai
Ikuhara: I’ve wanted to make a story focused on boys for a long time now. While there’s a lot of folklore about kappa, but no one’s ever actually seen one, which is why I’d like to say that the kappa that appear in Sarazanmai are the real deal! (lol) So the shirikodama is a pretty famous piece of kappa folklore and it’s a major motif in this series. Now, I know there’ve been plenty of anime series so far that feature youkai, but if you ask me those were all kid stuff––this series is going to be a real adult youkai story!
>The Setting of Asakusa
Ikuhara: I actually started from the idea of making a story about kappa, and once I got into planning around that idea and doing research into various pieces of kappa folklore, I eventually settled on Asakusa. I figured, with its mix of old and new, surely there would be kappa in Asakusa. The Sumida River is right there and it’s a place that feels very alive––so I decided to set [the story] of these boys connecting with each other there.
>The Theme of “Connections”
Ikuhara: We live in an age where, with our smart phones and social media, connecting with people is a daily activity––so I wanted to ask, what does that all mean? What do we want to do with [those connections]? And made those questions a central theme of this series, and I wanted to look at things like how there’s this conflicting mix of emotions where you have this desire to connect with someone, but that connection can also bring pain. If you maintain the connection, where does [the relationship] go from there? What happens to connections that are lost? Do we even need connections?
>fujo gets angry when you post proof of fujos being bad as waifufags
how shocking
It's not but he never really delved deep into, and considering the gay cops, why would he not? At least if the three kids aren't gay I'll be the cops will be.
I replied to both of you metashitters. Now fuck off.
>What do we want to do with [those connections]? And made those questions a central theme of this series, and I wanted to look at things like how there’s this conflicting mix of emotions where you have this desire to connect with someone, but that connection can also bring pain.

Oh boy, 2DEEP4U confirmed. Go see a therapist and read some self-help books, Ikuhara.
But Blue is the edgy one. Girls love edgy guys
you know why they keep denying the cops will be homo
so if this is gay then wont one boy be left out? theres three main ones. maybe the remaining one will be straight or bi.
But Ikuni is always goes 2DEEP4U.
I know, but you would think he would try to tackle something new these days. Though one could argue YKA was something new, and that was a trainwreck so maybe he should just stick with his old ways.
He already used the theme of connections in that frozen heart scene in Penguindrum
Getting repetitive there, eh
I wish he paired up with Enokido again or something
Only Leo and Mabu are confirmed homos
>Only Leo and Mabu are confirmed homos
i see. this is making me question whether three main boys will be homos then. well if anything we have the cops
>we want the monogatari audience - ikuhara
It's Nobuyuki Takeuchi, he worked on Penguindrum too.
It's a Shaft director
ugliest motherfucker ive seen in a while
You mean the cutest.
They're not ugly, they're generic as fuck
idk but this is ikuhara and he's mentioned he's wanted to make this show for awhile
I said what I said. He's ugly as sin.
It's funny, I floated the idea that this would happen in the Carol and Tuesday threads in a Spring Anime thread a few days ago. And here we are in a PV thread for a different spring original where it's happening already.

A flower on the desk means someone died, i believe.
It'll happen in both threads, don't worry.
Yes, and because of this it's also a bullying method in Japan.
>the gay cops and the girl are the cutest characters
what did ikuhara mean by this
>the one season where Tuxedo Mask is dead for 90% of the show was the one he didn't work on
Weird.
The brown cop won't be gay because miyano can't do gay
It's like Ikuhara was joking
What he doesn’t do are BL CDs, with the moaning and buttsex.
It wouldn't make sense if he wasn't though.
It'll be like Yurikuma, two of the boys will be the main pairing and the other one will pine after one of them and then die.
He doesn't do BLCDs not that he doesn't do gay. There are other VAs in the cast that don't do BL either, he isn't the only one.
He can interpret a gay character, what he can't do is gay porn.
He doesn't do R18, gay or straight.
I hope it's a sign they'll be relevant and with an interesting story in the anime.
I don't give a shit about the three main.
>You're delusional. Fujos and yurifags have become just as entitled over the years, especially the ones residing in the West.
This doesn't make any sense because fujoshiw are hardly pandered the same way, while waifufags have like 90% of the anime airing aimed at them, including those garbage LN that literally only exist to perpetuate their victim complex.
Unless you are one of those morons who think Utapri is fujo.
The fact people always go back to TG incident that basically consist in some twitter users sperging out is quite telling, really.
Nip fujos aren't usually as bad as nip waifufags, because they understand that their fujoships aren't going to be "canon" and just want to have fun. They're not as autistic about their husbandos interacting with girls, if their favorite character gets a girlfriend they'll usually just ignore it and ship their fujoships anyway, because they never expected anything like "queer representation" in the first place. Female otaku can be just as bad when it comes to stalking seiyuu and throwing fits over seiyuu marriages and crap like that, though.
Western fujos do get autistic about shipping and are much more likely to send creators death threats, burn merch and cry homophobia. Unlike nip fujos, they delude themselves into thinking their ships will be canon because they've gotten used to western media where characters do turn out to be gay and creators cave into fan demands and make gay pairings canon (see: Voltron, Stephen Universe, Adventure Time, Overwatch, Korra, RWBY.) They also mix morals with shipping and argue that their ships are morally superior just because they're gay. It's the same reason they send artists death threats for drawing age gap, incest and other such things. There's this idea that fiction must be moral and reflect reality. Nip fujos don't give a fuck about that and just draw whatever makes them hot.
So it's not really fair to compare western fujos to nip fujos or nip waifufags. Two completely different approaches to fandom.
Holy shit, make those you last metapost.
Jesus fuck. I hope I don't see any of this shit when the show starts.
Discussion Ikuhara and the show or get out.
>Stephen
>The fact people always go back to TG
I barely see it mentioned.
Everything you stated is 100% true. Some may not want to believe it, but Western fujos are literally mentally ill.
A lot of this is sorta wrong but I'll stop the metaposting.
We know the Western fandom has spergs in it, it's not a new revelation. Stop circlejerking about it.
i mean yea you're right but theres nothing wrong with gay ships. you cant say the same about incest and age gap. even if its fictional, i wouldnt want to read a story about some 20 something year old with a kid or about siblings fucking each other.
This is a way of derailing the thread. Take note of it and remember to avoid it in future. Even supportive is a method to bait for (you)s.
They sperg about 16-18 with a 20-something year old.
Should I watch YKA? It's the only Ikuhara thing I haven't watched besides Adolescence.
I see way more people telling them to fuck off though. A lot of it just seems like trolling because everyone knows it's easy bait.
>Should I watch YKA?
Nope.
Here are more examples of how a thread derail happens. They will keep on prolonging off-topic posts.
watch adolescence, skip yka
you'll just have to die mad about it :)
>Should I watch YKA?
It's ok and kinda fun if you want more Ikuhara. Not really that bad as people say.
At least watch Adolescence. Watch YKA for Ikuhara.
Watch both
It's a reverse harem and Sara is the MC
>It's a reverse harem and Sara is the MC
I think this as well.
Her shoes remind me of labias
They are making Sara too mysterious so I don't see her being the MC.
She's obviously not the MC because she didn't even get a character trailer. She did get a creepy ass song though so she could rape the MCs.
Are you being retarded at this point?
It's a reverse harem and Sara is the villain.
More like you're being triggered so easily again.
Sara is trying to steal Suwabe's harem full of middle schoolers.
she's the villain because het is evil
Generalizing an entire nation is fucking retarded.
>woman written by ikuni
>het
Why so easily triggered, fujo?
Because harems are garbage
There better be some female fanservice or I'm out.
Sara's kappa song is super catchy.
Was there a collective memory wipe that I didn't see? Iku-chan already worked with het, see Penguindrum.
It's delusional to think an Iku-chan would have have just het relationships though.
>show literally named after her
>didn't get a character trailer BUT gets an entire music video?
Uhh sure she's not the MC.
>Iku-chan already worked with het, see Penguindrum.
Not just Penguindrum, but Utena as well since there were certain characters that wanted someone of the opposite sex. It's like no one in the thread actually watched an Ikuhara work.
Sara is not going to be anything. She's probably going to be akin to Double H.
>It's delusional to think an Iku-chan would have have just het relationships though.
That's what a lot of people keep insisting though. And people may think that just because he may have dabbled with male homo doesn't mean he won't focus on it now, especially since he wanted to do something different this time.
Whatever helps you sleep better at night fujo.
Some hetfags are trying to trigger fujos and yurifags, and sadly they all take the bait.
It's iku-chan, it'll have everything in a non-conventional way.
>fujo
??? I'm being VERY realistic though. It's just like Ikuhara to make an interesting looking character have no actual purpose in the plot.
>Yurikuma arashi
>Yuri Kumas aren't the MC
Sara and Keppi will rape the boys assholes
>That's what a lot of people keep insisting though.
Just like fujos keeping insisting it'll all be gay. Don't try to act like it's one side when the thread tells a different story. It's just like this user said here. It'll have everything because Ikuhara has always had everything. YKA was the exception, and that was fucking garbage so hopefully he learned his lesson.
>he wanted to do something different this time.
That could be about the mostly all male cast.
She'll be the Mario
>It's like no one in the thread actually watched an Ikuhara work.
Both the baiters and the fujoshits.
>and sadly they all take the bait.
They want to help prove that fujoshit are indeed retarded.
Based Mappa.
Why are you so afraid of "gay"? Imagine watching Ikuhara anime and not expecting a level of homoeroticism.
You are deluded.
Yes.
>YKA was the exception, and that was fucking garbage
What's the matter, too deep for you?
What's up with MAPPA and saving anime?
Look at this season as well, Kakegurui and Dororo are the only worthwhile shows.
fuck off mappa shills
this is an ikuni thread
>Imagine watching Ikuhara anime and not expecting a level of homoeroticism.
Where did I state differently? Obviously it'll have homoeroticism since this is Ikuhara, but let's not act as if that's all we'll get. It definitely wasn't that way in both Utena and Penguindrum, despite some wanting to argue differently for the former.
No, it just was lackluster and forgettable. At least to me. I liked the Suspiria inspiration though along with OP/ED.
that's been clear from the beginning, moron
I'm mostly talking about retards who keep saying that it won't have any gay at all and keep saying that Mabu and Leo's relationship will just be kept in the manga/twitter. Even Ikuhara has expressed that he's always wanted to dabble a bit in BL and do something different for once. To think it won't have any gay at all is stupid.
I'm also an Ikuni shill, baka.
I obviously wouldn't be this excited for the show if it was in (current) J.CStaff, DEEN or A-1 etc hands.
BrainBase is cool but they're pretty QUALITY nowadays, maybe Shuka could do it too?
>keep saying that Mabu and Leo's relationship will just be kept in the manga/twitter
They're just saying they might not have adopted Sara like in the manga.
Ikuni should've been Beastars adaptation director.
The show is certainly fabulous and artsy enough and even has its own horse Akio.
>furry shit
>gay shit
i don't know about you guys, but i'm just excited for another ikuni original anime wild ride!
I definitely don't want a horsecock Akio around
Gives off a fun vibe rather than a message that they gave in Penguindrum and Yuri bears.
Anno just get the fuck out and work. New Godzilla when?
Same
Seems like YOI money buff them well.
That's Ikuhara being Ikuhara. He already made the coffin theme in SuperS and Nephelenia could be viewed as a proto-Akio, the ultimate (wo)manchild that remind in her coffin for preserving her childish fantasies. Also
That's suck
I don't want the first three episodes spoiled
I want to experience the truth is with Yea Forums
Elevens are actually quite tight-lipped about advance screening spoilers.
>Elevens are actually quite tight-lipped about advance screening spoilers.
not the fatefags who watched the second film of the hf trilogy.
The more I look at Sara the more she reminds me of a pretty cure.
why is that one homo cop so fucking pale?
he's a vampire
Zombie.
user...he's dead.
wait seriously??
We don’t know for sure. I personally don’t think he’s a zombie because the Box Zombie we were shown looks particularly monstrous and very much unlike a normal human.
something something bigoted bitch
It reminds me of the music in SZS.
>where you have this desire to connect with someone, but that connection can also bring pain.
muh hedgehuegs
>Ikuhara
>dudes
This is going to be ridiculously gay isn't it.
>where you have this desire to connect with someone, but that connection can also bring pain.
Penetration is always painful for the firs-timer.
Ikuhara seems to like working with relatively young directors. He mentored the Nozaki-kun's director in Penguindrum before she worked in Nozaki-kun and worked with Revue Starlight guy in YKA. There's an interview during YKA where he said that he wanted to mentor new talent
Keppi is going to break in each of the boys when he steals their assballs at the start.
>inb4 he trolls everyone and it ends up being his straightest work
>the pink haired guy
Who?
Sanetoshi, who is obviously capable of interdimensional electrification.
Working for Ikuhara is an ordeal
>Director Ikuhara is very particular about certain things. For example, he got really specific about the scene where the shirikodama are removed––he’d ask for us to add exactly this percent pain, and this percent embarrassment and to sprinkle in just a little pleasure. He even acted out [the moment of having one’s shirikodama removed] for us.”…
>he’d ask for us to add exactly this percent pain, and this percent embarrassment and to sprinkle in just a little pleasure
Hot
just make them watch gay porn, it'd probably be easier and less awkward
