Kayden Bailey

Joseph Johnson
Xavier Reed

Nicholas Butler

Daniel Edwards
Austin Harris

Japs love preppy stuff. I can only assume its pretty common.
Brody Baker
Isaac Gutierrez
Nudge is a nog isn't she =(
David Harris
Jeremiah Wood
Charles Morgan
japs really like the melinin lips, dont they? though that might just be modern western distaste, since more fully blooded Africans do have pretty promient lips.
Benjamin Brown
She's not described as black in the first or second book . she basically had curly hair from what I remember. Not saying they didn't make her black later in the series
Noah Butler
Ayden Rivera
Justin Martinez
Also a couple manga adaptions as well.
Jace Ward
>modern western distaste
i don't think they pick up on the fact that Americans bitch about giving nogs fat lips. i think it's genuine innocence. Mexico had a character called Memin Pinguin that looked monkeyish, not intended as offense though. The character was supposed to be the protagonist and teach good values or something.
no clue. I don't remember it that well. I read the series in middle school.
Tyler Adams
The ending is s bit dumb
Ethan Harris
Shigurui was supposedly loosely based on some Japanese tale or book? I honestly can't find anything concrete to back that up.
It's my favorite manga/anime by far, the purest kind of rivalry and duels you can get, shame that the ending felt a bit rushed.
Justin Gonzalez
several Lovecraft adaptations by Gou Tanabe
Jason Lee
yah, thats why i said modern western distaste. Maybe I should have been more specific.
Aiden Taylor
Yeah. It was pretty good until the giant robot duel
Camden Peterson
Babylon is based and redpilled.
Eli Campbell
Based and strongly recommend the anime and the manga
Ian Nelson
It is adapted from Suruga-jō Gozen Jiai, i love the ending desu just show you how much of a clown Fujiki is
Liam Wood
I love the anime but I never read the novel.
Wyatt Howard
Yup, and not a light novel either.
I have the first book of the series, although I think the rest are just side stories.
Luis Foster
Cooper Sanchez
Shin Sekai Yori. Great anime
Nathaniel Thompson
The way Anne is drawn in this manga is great, because looking at her face makes me as uncomfortable as looking at a real jew.
Nathan Fisher
Are there any other books/LN/mangas that Satoshi Kon based one of his movies on?
Joseph Cruz
Angel Roberts
Is this anime actually any good?
Ayden Thompson
No joke, it's comparable to The Wire and War and Peace, so yeah, it's worth all the hype and so much more. Don't be fooled by pseudo-elitists that posture on online forums, the show is brilliant through and through. Speaking of the OVA, of course.
Jason Jackson
>ANIMERICA: What is the significance of the title Perfect Blue?
>KON: That's a frequently asked question and, at the same time, one I find very difficult to answer. To be honest, I used it because it was the title of the original novel. I presume the words had some significance, but as I changed the story and probably the subject as well, I guess the meaning was lost in the film. I can only conjecture because I didn't read the novel. I simply read through the rough plot, which was described as "close to the original story" in the project plan delivered to me. We discussed changing the title, but I like it. It sounds significant and mysterious.
>So the story of the film is completely different from the novel?
>Yes. Especially the idea of a film within a film, and the idea of a blurred border between the real world and imagination, those were my ideas and they weren't in the novel.
Joshua Hughes
I think Magnetic Rose was based on a manga, but Satoshi Kon, being who he is, didn't really care about making it faithful and just used it as a template to explore his own ideas.
Oliver Perry
no. typical genre fiction trash with bad hamfisted japanese writing like any other anime. rips off tons from three kingdoms. also looks really bad for an 80s anime, really poorly directed and storyboarded for its time. animation mostly non-existent.
Isaac Brown
Most anime are made from books / manga or adapted from other media. What a boring thread
Kevin Cooper
Alright smartass, why don't you give some examples of anime not based on anything, huh?
Christopher Perry
Not him, but Millennium Actress had its script actually written from scratch for the movie.
Grayson Mitchell
A place further than the universe is an anime original and 10/10
Carson Gray
So was Tokyo Godfathers (although it was inspired by Three Godfathers, just not based on).
Anthony Foster
it's the best one i've seen
only one that comes close is monster
Jason Sanders
>I didn't read the novel
ok, based
Liam Barnes
Yeah. He read the script the novelist handed to him and said he didn't find it interesting, so he asked to change it if they wanted him to direct. This was his first job offer as a director, by the way. The guys at Madhouse told him that as long as he kept the idol, the stalker and the horror aspect he was free to do whatever he wanted, and so he did.
Jaxson Gutierrez
somebody should make dosto novels into an anime. it would work if done skillfully
David Brooks
This. After death note was a success it becomes quite plausible.
Andrew Gomez
not very good if I recall correctly.
there may even be a newer one nut that's even worse.
only good adaptation are the manga series by Junji Itou and the other dude
Christopher Thompson
>Magnetic Rose
>Satoshi Kon
Alexander Kelly
Austin Baker
monster sucks. way too long for no reason. watched that shit on 2x speed and was still boring
Xavier Smith
pretty fitting since the count is the closest thing to an anime character 19th cent lit has to offer
why do they all look like elves though?
Nolan Gonzalez
80% of people who still like anime after 2015 are trannies
Caleb White
Surprisingly
Joshua Morris
Eli Wilson
They even got an Australian singer for the last OP.
John Hill
Because it's science fiction in space. There's a story that it was originally supposed to be based on The Stars My Destination, but copyright holders didn't give green light, so the director used Monte Cristo cause of parallel themes.
