Kuro's being cringy explaining what's happening
What a shame

>>Making beautiful and wicked faces
Is the character of the goddess that hard to understand? It's not the anger or the beauty that draws us towards her but her inner vulnerability that she feels and tries to cover with rage. At the end for the day she is a woman torn apart by the deads of her cheating husband, there is no feminity in Chiyoko's actions nor any sense of vulnerability that the character tries to hide.

As for the Monkey King, immitating the movements of an animal is a great idea but there just isn't any powerful presence/aura to Araya's portrayal of a king. Some of the dialogue delivery is horrible. I expected so much more from Kuro.

>producers treating fans like helpless crack addicts
Ouch.

chiyoko makes my pp tingle but the performance seems pretty shit

I really hope it's just shitty TL, but the lines are coming off as cheesy.

>but her inner vulnerability that she feels and tries to cover with rage
That was just Kei's portrayal, otherwise you have a raging cunt who is ultimately miserable.

Kei is a lucky girl

>That was just Kei's portrayal, otherwise you have a raging cunt who is ultimately miserable.
There is no reason for me to feel for her misery if i can't sense it in her until the end. You need to build it, not just show it at the end and expect it to reach the audience.

Definitely.

Not him, but that's what separates the character from just being a ragetard.

The vulnerability in Yonagi's portrayal only came up once the Monkey King-as-Ox-King talked arrogantly to her and she teared up, until that point she also seemed just implacably angry. Chiyoko hasn't got to that scene yet.

Riku was the Monkey King, but Araya is Monkey Kino

>until that point she also seemed just implacably angry.
Not in the least. That vulnerability is present throughout the play from the moment she steps in and her desperation in trying to hide it can also be felt. You can feel her feminity beyond the anger and rage, that's what ultimately makes you believe in her.

idoltards literally are helpless crack addicts. Look at how demented people here get over fictional characters, then add Jap autism and the fact that they're obsessing over real people and not cartoons. Chiyoko will be lucky if someone doesn't mail her a letter bomb after this play

In Yonagi's case it was clear she was angry and looked evil because of some tragic fate.
Chiyoko looks like a madwoman, not a tragic heroine.

Since Kuroyama made changes to Chiyoko's performance, I wonder if they'll say how it was originally meant to be like.

why is the dump so much more HQ than the website or when downloading from tachiyomi

>Chiyoko's acting started off weak compared to Yonagi in this chapter as well but I did not see her getting on all fours coming. Quite good.
I think that's the point, Chiyoko was already aware her usual acting wouldn't be good enough to surpass Yonagi's a few chapters ago. It's when she can use it as a springboard and break off from it like she does at the end of the chapter that she can bring her performance to a higher level.

I get the point yeah. I just didn't expect this to be the way they choose to do it for now. Whicn is why I liked it. Like she's got him by the hair, and stomping on his crotch, ha

Although the last lines of the chapter seems to me like it's impying the endgame here is to return back to her angel persona at the end of the play.

We knew from a few weeks already that someone from the mangaplus team dumps the chapter here.

Since Kuroyama took the ending of Death Island as an example, I think she'll end up crying and smiling sincerely (rather than to hide her anger like she was doing at the start of the play) as she forgives the Monkey King and crew.

OP here, I always take the new chapters from Tachiyomi. I don't see any difference from the previous Manga Plus rips.

You haven't read/watched Jorney to the West series then, Araya's acting is spot on.

I don't see the presence of a king in Araya. He is the king, he should act like one.

Every moment kei makes is delicate and shows her feminity. The rage and anger in her eyes gives a sense of desperation in trying to hide her vulnerability as a woman.

I can't get excited for this play since Kuroyama said they'll win so they will. The Kuroyama wank is getting annoying.

I disagree, it would be boring just seeing one side of the coin and having the competition decided like that.
Would you feel satisfied if the very next chapter after Team A's play we just got "lmao u lose" without showing why?

I don't know if Matsuki is aware, but the theater audience don't have manga framing. Exaggerated flashy "normal" fight from the first play will work much better.

Yes. Because we already know that team A was a shitshow, it was fun to read but in universe was a terrible play.
No so far Chiyoko looks insane but not angry.

I find it a bit predictable. We already knew Chiyoko would destroy her image too.

FUCK I took too long deciding

The poll was daily, you could vote for any character once a day.

No I actually prefer Kuroyama’s directing. I just think the Chiyoko Araya combo is a bit off and I don’t know how to feel about Chiyoko trying to be icy-angry

The thread is picking up a ton of Yea Forums tier shitposting.
Most of the complaints about B team are also skub nonsense, and most people, I'd wager even you, are actually comparing a complete play with the opening chapters of team B without realizing it.

The mangaka have actually mirrored the plays extremely closely for the first two chapters of each so far. There're people complaining about exposition or Kuro wank, but the first A chapter was also just a slow open into a second chapter that was 90% explaining what was actually happening.

It's fine to dislike the actual performance so far, but the criticisms around here are almost universally bullshit.

I know but I want to do it fairly. Just 1 vote for 1 great character. It’s retarded I know just ignore me

Compared to the roundabout methods of voting literally 24/7 non-stop, once a day IS fairly.

I found team A's opening chapters better for the following reasons
>more personal because of el padre and la madre
>madwoman Hanako continuously provoking Kei
>new side to Kei with her psyche being more broken than ever
>play was still fresh
>dug deeper into a new character, namely Rick's thoughts and backstory
>many randomising uncontrollable factors like Kei's rage and Rick's ego while team B has a systematic approach and is completely in control of Kuroyama
>more easy to empathise with an enraged/broken than an outright insane woman
>more aggressive acting and more action
I still hope team B can surprise me but this chapter just didn't do it for me.

>Casually achieved Rinnegan without needing something like El Grande Padre hack
Heh, nothing personnel, Kei

Definitely a sharp uptick today. Well, I wasn't in the raw/spoiler thread.

That was my reaction too. The hell, Kuroyama? What a quick and weird way to take off the wraps. I thought the game plan called for a longer buildup, but instead it's an early shocker. Now I have to know what he's saving for later, if he felt confident enough to blow this so early.

Well yeah, the behind-the-scenes drama destabilizing the play makes it more tense. With Team B the suspense is more "how is Kuro et al. supposed to beat THAT?" because the author has to make it convincing. Right now it's hard to get a read on Chiyoko's Princess Iron Fan, I guess because they're trying to define a viable alternative to Yonagi's more straightforward portrayal.

You may not like it but this is what autism looks like.

Not even a shota?

Many anons way to categorical. Team B performance is definitely more slow, but i don't see it as worse on the grand scheme.
Team A performace greatness at start was result of much bigger build up before actual start. Team B only now finished to prepare for possible high points.

I'm convinced it's a documentary of Arisa's life

That actually makes sense since Rick and Chiyoko would be involved there but not Araya.

>Rick as Iwao
Isn't that a kind of NTR?

No, Rick as Rick. Kuroyama as Iwao. Takemitsu as Akira.

I've been having a sense of deja vu since everyone is talking about how they don't like these chapters as much which is what exactly people said when this arc started before Hanako went all el grande padre on Yonagi. Don't get me wrong, Kuroyama and Team B's performance might be shit after all of this but since we don't know how the play will turn out yet I'd give it the benefit of the doubt.

#metoo, but Araya is the victim

He'll be sued by STARS to hell and back

I gave Chiyoko 2 votes, but she was bound to place highly anyway.

Was it a mistake to frame Kuroyama as a cannes-type artsy wackjob?? I mean if the shounen manga writer can only think of shounen manga ideas then Kuroyama's directing is never gonna live up to the real world reference.

The real reason he's waited so long is for Arisa to die first

It's his infodumping that's killing it for me
Not sure if there is in Team A's play, but if I didn't even notice those.
Sure, Hanako is a total hackjob, but at least I enjoyed the ride

I think it's 2 separate problems:
-A lot of infodumping which sometimes is not reflected in the actual pages, so it feels like the manga is telling you "please feel like the characters are asking you to"; it's not exclusive to these latest chapters (nor to this manga alone).
-The actual tricks we've seen so far from Kuroyama are absolutely pleb-tier generic, even though we've been led to believe he's some sort of Japanese Godard or whatever.

Makes me want to know what kind of shit he submitted to be even considered in Cannes.

We're starting to see why the editor had the author change the story premise from directing to acting.

mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/web_pages/278/
>Murakoshi: In Asagaya, the director Sumiji Kuroyama was the main character. But for a Jump series, a director would make a difficult main character. Take for example Nodame Cantabile, which is themed around musical performances, and Blue Giant, which is based on jazz gigs. Both have these high-energy, climactic points, but I felt it was going to be really hard to achieve that with a director as the main character. On the other hand, with an actor as the main character, we could highlight their actions and emotions while in role, with those big developments on stage being the climax. We chose to make that change and went with it. Also, for younger readers, the idea of a director might be a bit too abstract for them to understand and empathize with. Actors, on the other hand, are right there on the television on a bunch of different programs. They’re much closer to home. Finally, there was the manga Glass Mask, which was a huge hit. Sure, there might be differences between shonen and shojo manga, but Glass Mask was able to entrance young girls across the country, and I thought surely we could do that too at Jump (laughs).

Kuroyama was always shown to sort of think higher of himself than his directing warrants. FFS his first line in the franchise is paraphrasing Tarantino

Is that allowed on live performances? Weren't this supposed to be family friendly?

This performance isn't even halfway close to Team A's and these faggots were saying they already won. Kuroyama is one overrated hack.

Maybe it's because team A's entire performance was done by the time I started reading, but so far I'm not that enthused with team B.

So I tried reading the Team A play again, and it really wasn't really that good like what anons in this thread saying.
I guess it's because I'm too mind driven by what user said on the thread. Maybe if I said that I like Team A more, I can fit in.

No, people are blowing it out of proportion because we had a dozen chapters with Chad and Hanako and Kei training before Team A even started, compared to barely showing any prep for Team B. Once we get more into the performance they'll be more equal

Nobody posted it yet?

Death Island? It's already out. They went and saw it a few chapters ago. They brought the Yonagi twins. Because it's clearly an age appropriate film.

No, during the Galactic Railroad arc, Chiyoko went on a date with Yonagi to learn how to act for the role she talks about in that pic about a high school girl who secretly murdered someone. That movie likely won't be out for a while but I guess it would've been the first instance of Chiyoko acting against type had the current play not happened.

>Sumiji sniped another director thanks to theater's quicker turnaround time
Between this and the Chiyoko fans, he's really playing with fire, if you know what I mean.
