It could be done, madhouse, geno, white fox even, could be good candidates.
I don't think it would translate well into an anime. Should remain as it is.
Just bought the first volume. What am I in for? First 3 chapters are charming but seems like a standard SoL
Maybe in a movie
It would honestly work better live-action but Punpun himself is animated.
This, a thousand times this
Would work better as a live action with a simple CGI Punpun. The thing is you need a good director and not the mainstream ones in charge of the horrid adaptations we are used to get.
You're in for a wild ride. Pun Pun is a SOL that even people who hate SOL enjoy.
Thanks looking forward to it!
How many threads and for what reason?
Shaft
>daily Punpun general
Wouldn't surprise me since the shilling of the manga on Yea Forums has suddenly increased, we're suddenly having daily threads when there hasn't been threads for months. This usually means something is going on, and it wouldn't surprise me if an anime was announced soon.
I guess SHAFT would be the only studio who could do it, but other studios might surprise me.
or someone recently read it
this
otherwise shaft
How would you adapt this?
A scratchy 1950’s laugh track with little to no movement of punpun’s head
>standard SOL is depictions of domestic abuse and everyone's fucked up childhoods
or it's maybe summer and people are reading punpun for the first time
Gotta be a series of movies, what with all the nudity and mature themes. Don't want it to get censored to hell and back. Would
Would Inio Asano even agree to an adaptation?
Makes sense.
It's a beautiful thing
Maybe by Studio 4°C, Bones or in a wildcard scenario Colorido combined with another studio, considering they are not that big.
But the best chance it has is in a feature length duology or trilogy.
This, except skip the lame live action part.
Not a bad idea, but nips and CG rarely goes well, so traditionally animated hybrid Roger Rabbit style as pointed is a safer bet.
Of course he wouldn’t
I don't see it working, and if it did become an anime with a good visual style it would probably get censored in some ways.
A pretty bleak series with some extremely compelling and scarily relatable moments, along with some moments that feel way too convenient to fit the realistic mould.
>Could it be properly adapted to an animation?
Too pretentious for its own good.
>Too pretentious for its own good
In what way?
Science Saru
Can someone explain to me why people are drawn so grotesquely?
Are you joking? This is the least subtle symbolism you could get in a story like this.
Well it is a slice of those people's lives so it adds up
Then why is PunPun a penguin?
From what I gathered it's to show Punpun's state as a person. He's weak and unimposing like a penguin.
Could Punpun have become a normal person if his aunt haven't rape him?
He's just a normal bird I think.
At the start of the story, people are shown both through the art and the dialogue from the perspective of the young child Punpun. He views he and his family in one way, his friends and Aiko another, and the rest of the people like the caricatures that they seem to be. I can appreciate that, since I remember adults acting in ways that made about as much sense and seemed just as overly dramatic when I was growing up. Key words are acting and seemed. It didn't matter what their intent was, that's how they came across when you're comparing them to the relative (to Punpun) normalcy of the family and friends Punpun knew at the time.
On Punpun's appearance through the story, that reflects how Punpun views himself the strongest. I'm not sure if you've read the whole thing yet, so that's that.
His mother is the one who fucked him up, not his Aunt. If anything his Aunt prevented him from being more fucked up than he would have been.
Maybe its like this
A penguin is a bird that cant fly even though it has wings
Punpun has dreams that can never be realized even though hes a human
I think
Most tragic fucking ending I've ever seen.
At least he’s still alive. As long as you still draw breath you can still work at making things better
The ending's actually pretty uplifting. I want to self-insert as Mimura.
it seems like the most boring story ever told
It is, if you’re rich and have never known suffering in your life
>Could it be properly adapted to an animation?
No, this on the other hand though
What about it?
don hertzfeldt has already made it
>having sex solves everything dood
incel mindset is so stupid
I don't know, i feel that when that happened punpun was holding to the idea that his uncle and his aunt where good people and he was getting better, then the shit hit the fan
That unironically sounds fucking great
punpun literally felt responsible for cucking his uncle
punpun is a good guy, all the plots is about punpun not wanting to hurt other people's feeling
you’re fucking in for it. Similar vidya experiece: nier automata
This along with Anno directing.
you're right, it was tragic how such a good manga could have such a shitty ending.
Myabe if Yuasa is the director could be hope.
Yuasa style maybe
the manga is all about pointlessness what do you expect
do you seriously didn't see it coming?
This was somehow even more pretentious than punpun
Punpun is a good guy, then goes full psychopath on his first love in the last chapters
If you want the actual answer, the author didn’t want to tell you how good-looking/what punpun looked like, you were supposed to imagine his face on your own
What's shitty about it?
also, all his different forms needs different animation styles. Like when he became a tetrahedron, that shit needs to be in a 3D style that hurts your eyes
>standard SOL
>keyword being 'standard'
He's just a bird. Anyway, it abstracts him, shows his alienation from his surroundings, and hints at how he wants to just fly the fuck away from everything.
Nah, way too bombastic for Punpun.
Only studio 4°C or Science Saru could adapt it somewhat decently
I've read a lot of other Asano works since they are highly regarded and short so I've checked a bunch out over the years (initially when I put them on my plan to read list I didn't even know they were by the same guy), but I can't say I really liked them. I didn't hate them, but they are overly dramatic to the point where I can't take them seriously, and lacking in thematic dept and interesting message.
Is Punpun worth it?
I've read Nijigahara Holograph, Hikari no Machi, Solanin, Sekai no Owari to Yoakemae, Umibe no Onnanoko.
punpun is the only stuff I like from him
>Is Punpun worth it?
it's forgettable
I was thinking real life backgrounds with animated characters but this probably take the cake.
JCstaff, not like there'd be a lot of animation with Punpun it's mostly talking
Nigga stole my thread topic.
SOL from the perepective of a dyafunctional protag with a severe case of autism or Social Anxiety Disorder. Its basically the closest you'll get to a Japanese take on Forrest Gump or Requiem for A Dream.
Or rotoscope unironically like Aku no Hana because the characters are canonically ugly or at best, realistically depicted ie. no moe shit.
Sooo, what are self-defence laws like in Japan?
I would say Nijigahara Holograph is his "deepest" and best work. I didn't care for Punpun or Solanin. Punpun might be his most over-dramatic manga.
99% conviction rate
You're probably not gonna like Punpun.
