Sarazanmai hype

First three episodes were screened and people who saw it also said: the glasses boy is gay and in love with the MC, and that the third episode features a gay kiss and will make fujos "die (of happiness)."

I have hopes for this since I love Utena, but I'm also doubtful since I hate Penguindrum.
The stalker girl was an extremely irritating character and the blue haired brother was just generic.

>>“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."

Eh, better he fuck off instead of whining at any possible scene of a boy being interested in a girl for one moment. It's like some yurifags with boys in CGDCT shows.

>He even acted out [the moment of having one’s shirikodama removed] for us.

>Miyano on Sarazanmai:
When I read the script of the first episode, I didn't understand the contents yet (lol). Looking closely at the images, I thought "I get it, a little". After being given info I was very convinced when I saw it. Its very pop and catchy, and yet surreal.
On the days of recording, Ikuhara often said to me “Entertainment”. And the way of composition, of making images was just like that. Despite that, Asakusa, from incorporating a real place,everyday feeling, or material feelings, sense of touch, familiar scenery
while giving that at the same time, [it will] expose that true essence of humans who aren’t only beautiful. I feel its a work that has very deep drama."

>Miyano's first impressions of Reo:
“Oh, his teeth are jagged. That’s my strong point! [referring to Rin]” is what I thought (lol). Because it also contrasts with Mabu’s appearance, though I imagined many different approaches, during the early stages from working out the character’s personality, we have a theatrical-like on-screen appearance [which he worked out during recording with Ikuhara].

"Mabu had a contrasting method of development, “entertaingness” or something like that. This part which is connected to his essence, because as the story progresses he’ll flaunt this more than enough (lol)”
"The philosophy ofcourse, the approach to Mabu or Reo’s spirituality etc, because Ikuhara engaged us in really detailed discussions, there was no question mark. It was easy to grash the philosophy inside director Ikuhara’s mind because he conveyed it to us. "
>Q. What kind of discussion was it?
Miyano: Spiritual emotions were the main point… Because of spoilers I can’t say anything more now [but the] approach to Reo was grounded in this. The philosophy from Ikuhara, how I interpreted Reo wasn’t wrong. Miyano continued: "And having Mabu there was great. Because there's this serious and stubborn character as a contrast, to convey Reo’s evocative way of speaking and his expressions was easier. "

>Miyano, Reo's VA: [After talking about his best friend Mabu VA Hosoya and their work together]
"Because these character’s relationship will be different than everyone is currently thinking, we enjoyed performing that.

>alternative translation
I worked with different types of buddy/intimate characters and there’s always the feeling of trust and no doubts towards each other but this time people will notice is not what they usually see, we enjoyed a lot portraying this kind of relationship*. After the end of post-recording, eleven people ate soba together in some kind of reflection meeting (laughs). I’m very fond of Hosoya- san too, so working with him was fun!

*ok so, the term here is 関係性 and there more meaning than that
関係 is connection, involvement, relationship
性 can be a suffix or can transform the word adding a different tone to it, in this case can be a close relationship.

Even though it's much more of a short open-and-close story, I still think it's great at what it set out to do. Shabadadu.

Ikuhara's best works are with a bisexual cast not a full homo one, that was one the main mistakes with YKA

Why do these cops have a poster of a little girl on the wall?

Because Kazuki bought all the other ones.

Might have to do with the fact that Sara is literally everywhere in Asakusa.
In the manga they "adopt" her, but we don't know if the anime follows the same storyline.

Thank you!

>even drawers under the seats
I'm jelly

I think it will be part of the same canon, because Sara's origin is still an unsolved mystery in the manga iirc. But the cops act much more cynical in the trailers, so I could see them having been killed and rezzed in the meantime or turned immortal before a hundred years timeskip or something.

It's twitter > anime >>????

It delivered a fuck ton of messages though, the problem is there were almost too many different ones shoved in to a really short amount of time.

>desire isn't inherently wrong, it's the way it's acted upon
>self acceptance is a process
>purity and fear of change will hold back an individual from happiness

God I hope Sarazanmai has tighter writing

Didn't tumblr hate it? Messages sound completely up their alley, where they just too dumb to get the point?

Is this going to be a HS release?

Sure

Nah

>where they just too dumb to get the point
Probably, but I do think that the "desire isn't inherently wrong" message got muddied in the execution, sadly. When your protagonist watches someone get killed so she can get with the girl she likes, it's a little hard to forgive in just a few episodes, but forgiveness (for oneself and others) is another theme in itself.

Probably dismissed it as a lesbian fanservice show for guys, what with all the skimpy costumes and such.

That reminds me of how whenever South Park takes a break from fart jokes and gay drama with little boys it's bashing racists and Trump, and yet Twitter shitstirrers call it a racist right wing conspiracy. They have zero comprehension and love eating their own.

>did you know society hates gay people?

Don't they need time to sub it? Iirc, some user said foreign streaming companies don't get the episodes early and that's why there are sometimes mistakes like using the wrong pronoun when someone's gender isn't revealed until a later episode.

Those who went at the noitamina cafe to watch

Murase: Kazuki is a boy has a self-punishing aspec. One of Sarazanmai’s themes is “connections”, but holding so many [problems] things with him, this boy who has a mentality of self-sacrifice, how will he build relationships with the other characters? I also enjoyed performing that process.

>Enta’s VA Horie on what point he thinks people should pay attention to:
Horie: Be aware of the fabric of the relationship of Kazuki and Enta. They were called the Golden Combo, until one day, Kazuki quite the football club. It may look simple, but its actually complicated, if you look carefully there might be various discoveries?

>How would you describe Sarazanmai in one word:
Murase: It's “unbelievable”. The astonishing events will fire rapidly, please look forward to the dazzling developments!
Horie: “Salty vanilla ice cream”.

>Murase on Kazuki:
"Kazuki's personality is low in self-esteem and is self-punitive, because of a certain trauma in his past he tries to live without being connected to other people. There's a bit of a feeling that he wants to connect with others, but he lives by denying that". As the story progresses, gradually his relationship with other people changes."

>Horie on Enta:
"In the first episode he has as a person many aspects that are immature, but after recording up to the final episode, I felt he has undergone incredible growth. He's a boy who feels the range of puberty, mental growth etc. Horie, later: "Because compared to Murase there's parts of Ikuhara-ism （幾原イズム）that I couldn't sublimate, so in the early episodes I often asked questions."

The storyline/plot so far don't sound good so I'm not getting my hopes. If anything, I just hope we get nice visuals and the usual 10/10 OP&ED that every Ikuhara show has.

>The storyline/plot so far don't sound good so I'm not getting my hopes.
I mean, the plot for Utena doesn't sound great on paper. Ikuhara is about character interactions and symbolism.

You're garbage. YKA was fine and better than barely coherent mess called Penguindrum.

Every Ikuhara show starts with an odd but simple premise and then spirals into insanity.

>the plot for Utena doesn't sound great on paper.
It's fine to me. Guess I'm just wary cause YKA was a disappointment. It also doesn't help that we only 11 episodes.

>Horie: “Salty vanilla ice cream”.
It's gonna taste salty alright

Yeah, I'm a bit wary as well, but I do think this has more potential than YKA ever did just based on the staff working with Ikuhara.

And that's what I'm here for.

megane-kun is cute and you're all fags (female)

This is my biggest worry, but hopefully things were kept under a tighter leash this time. I love Yurikuma but it's biggest downfall to me was that it didn't have enough time to flesh everything out at a reasonable pace.

how about that yaoi Reo and Mabu manga? why are the characters in this anime?

Ikuhara made shows with bi men, bi women, lesbians, and trans people of both genders already.
Now we get gay boy show as his last masterpiece.

The preview gaijins seem to be saying to at least watch until episode 3 even if you don't like 1, so this might not be representative of the series.
Also

Just a spin-off about Leo and Mabu's dad life after finding a baby.

Alright so is it gay or not?

Just like how they called Dororo a trans boy?
Who cares

Ikuhara is very clearly purposely going out of his visual aesthetic for this one. It's a good thing because its overused and even trashy mobage PVs are using it.

>Sarazanmai's ending was directed by Tao Tajima, the filmmaker who produced the teasers that mixed live action footage with animation. Very similar approach, using the extraneous lighting on the real setting to evoke the feeling of Ikuhara's magical realism

Of course. Ep 1 was everything I could have ever hoped for.

Sara is hot.

These people aren't real. Trans people are just idiots that they think that want to be the opposite sex cause they like things targeted/made for the opposite sex. Just because you like dresses doesn't make you a girl.

I'm right and you know it. Die mad about it.

>These people aren't real.
For me they are real as long they will transition fully and guys will cut their penises and get boobs and females will cut their boobs off and will get a penis from their vagina.
That is dedication of real trans people to change their gender.
Crossdressers who use their genitals in sexual way of the body they hate and want transition from aren't really trans people.

>I'm not keen on how openly BL it is
Faggot.

It's Ikuhara you stupid fuck.

OP

Not the same person. I only brought it up because it's been brought up earlier in the thread that people who saw the prescreening likened the anime's humor to South Park's.

This is why a lot of people think Ikuhara needs 2 cours as he works best with time to flesh out the characters and when he's more grounded instead of just throwing insane shit at the screen.
But the preview audiences seemed to think Episode 3 was especially good, so perhaps it'll become more cohesive.

No chance to have lesbians in this work.

What do we do about the free space now? Is there any chance he will add lesbians to his BL anime?

The people at the prescreening were fujos and we already know gay shit happens then

youtube.com/watch?v=OfCmW4k6pDQ
ED

First ep and we're already ticking a lof of these, sasuga Ikuni.

We need an updated version for Yuri Kumo

The male god did not get turned on by pooping them out one by one.
They did not then assault the vagoo-like ass of a fetishist, who also enjoyed it a whole lot.
And did not end up a group composed of a cross-dresser, someone who's actively into the idea of the other guy crossdressing and...
And how can I forget two bishie policemen interrogating someone while pulling pistols which say "suck" to intimidate.

Unless girls have a different idea of what constitutes as BL, that sounds pretty damn gay to me.

It's a great sign, but this always happens after the first episode airs. Let's see if it will keep trending for a while.

More nonsensical than usual for an Ikuhara first ep. I was lost until the reveal at the end.

>But the preview audiences seemed to think Episode 3 was especially good, so perhaps it'll become more cohesive.
Fujos said episode 3 is good because they implied there's some gay shit going on, not because "objectively good". So we don't know.

Maybe they’ll get them in each episode depending on who’s the focus.

There is no way japan would not be talking about this

Do crossdressing gay boys count as lesbians?

We'll have lesbians (male) this time, obviously.

>no credit version
Nice.

They do if you ask tumblr.

Are you trans? Cause if you are then you just need to accept that you'll never be a legitimate man or woman hence the trans that you add in front of man/woman. You people need your own space, and need to stop trying to enter the space of others.

Only if both of them are crossdressing and they have feminine penises.

>implying gay shit isn't automatically objectively good
But I see your point

is this shit trending on twitter, at least?

Sara will have a girl harem.

Yes.

How many fucking transformation sequences were in this one episode? It's like Ikuhara on crack.

Are we going to get an Ikuhara anime with no lesbians or incest?

op where?

How can it not trend?

It is surprising realization that the new Ikuhara "fanbase" consists of same same people who came to Yea Forums during Franxx

I don't like these structure-less, random Ikuhara shows. MPD was borderline and Yuri Kuma Arashi was the same.

Not the worldwide one, though.

Sara (male) with have a girl (male) harem.

>It's like Ikuhara on crack.
inb4 it's literally Ikuhara on crack

さらざんまい
Thanks God. Saved

>no incest
I'm holding out for emo's oniichan.

No, only crossdressing straight boys who are into girls count as lesbians.
Dynssty Scans site describes yuri as something between at least two females or someone who identifies as a female and can be a guy.
So in theory a straight guy who loves to crossdress to fuck girls with his penis count as yuri for that yuri scanlation site.

Enjoyed the wild ride, but I hope Ikuhara can get grounded enough for the serious shit to be well-done and impactful. I can't imagine him staying light-hearted.

No.

On a scale of good (MPD) to shut (YK) where is this?

What

Sara(male) is for his little sister(male) only.

Sara will be lesbian and the emo wants his older bro's dick. Screencap this.

Gay incest.

Ikuni saved anime again

It was bait and in switch in MPD.

We don't need to screencap anything. The OP already tells you emo is obsessed with his bro.

Anyone notice Sara and Keppi have the same catchphrase.

Is Sara Keppi crossdressing?

It's fun

Actually, Dynasty classifies trans women as yuri, not (just) crossdressing boys. If a boy crossdresses but still identifies as male, it's not yuri. I'm a purist who only consider yuri when it's by two actual females, and not even genderbender counts as yuri for me though

>only crossdressing straight boys who are into girls count as lesbians.
Fuck off tumblr.

Kill la Kill levels of craziness

thanks
thanks Ikuhara

They're related. They're both Kappa.

There was a real incest kiss though.

Huh I vaguely remember watching one episode of that when it aired and never following up on it. Makes me wish I had.

I've seen people speculate that Sara is his daughter. She has a keppi-like form too and no one knows who her parents are.

Did you rike it?

why do I feel like this will spawn victor butt-birthing yuri pictures?

Who wouldn't let Suwabe kappa them?

Kazuki has the bracelet around his ankle in the opening scene. That probably means it's in the future, and this whole thing is just a flashback, right?

I don't like the OP, but I really like the background soundtrack for the episode.

Probably, Ikuni said to pay attention to the first scene as it'll be important to understand the future events.

He never really seemed to dislike them, he just got mad at Kazuki for taking a picture.

Could you imagine being Enta and learning your (presumably straight) crush crossdresses? I'd fucking splooge on the spot.

Imagine being a big Ikuni fan and he hires you to be the MC in his new anime and its for this.

IMAGINE

we symphokappa now

From what I read it sounds like things get more gay in a BL way, but iirc this was described as the more "disgusting"/crass episode.

I hope they'll keep this good animation quality

Ayumu Murase is already used to roles like this.

That's because Emo smokes weed
Nihonjins are pussies

Is this a real interview?

Reminder that Murase can sing as a qt girl.

you can be straight and crossdress

So, I guess it's Kazuki's otouto the true Sara otaku and Kazuki is looking for a way to connect with him? Because some deep reason? He's about to die?

This game had some disgusting songs. But Murase is cute! CUTE!

sub when

So what is emo secret? Incest?

subs when?

No it's because he wants his otouto's ochinchin.

I prefer his non-pitchy feminine voice.

Keppi is a stoner, right? I'm not the only one who thought that.

>Suwabe: “Because you know, from episode 2, things get…”
>Ikuhara: “Maybe it’ll be all bleeped out. *laughs*”
How is it possible for this shit to go even more off the rails?

I genuinely have no fucking idea.

You gotta BELIEVE in Iku-chan.

emo-chan is so fucking moe with his freckles

Ikuhara

It might be weed. Japan is dumb about weed.

>This monster with black vagina
Doujins when

The music during the secret reveal scene is so fucking good.

>weed and anal
Seems legit

we need a new thread

Were there any other prescreen spoilers about things other than the main trio? Anything about the cops?

wait for subs to drop

I like the scene where the under aged boys went inside a man's asshole and fondled around by his prostate for a while until they pulled out a sloppy chi turd that turned into diarrhea and gave them facials

*naked underaged boys

90% of anime characters are underage.

chrunchy subs it?

This adorable neesan better be getting a decent amount of screentime
