Anime is a japanese cartoon

so how the fuck is this anime

Die Sumisu!

 

[God of Nothing]

Anime stylized like The Boondocks but not as good looking. I'm sure lots of people are still going to call it an anime like RWBY.

So I started a thread for this on its because it's just so very wtf, but...Jaden Smith made an anime.

Surely this can't be real. This must be some sort of fan made project. Just look at the animation. It's Misty Chronexia tier.

‘Neo Yokio’ Trailer: Jaden Smith, Susan Sarandon & Jude Law Star In Netflix Anime Series
by Denise Petski

September 7, 2017 8:00am

“Neo Yokio is the greatest city in the world. It is a diverse labyrinth of cultural and architectural innovation. Of course, whenever a city becomes the envy of the world, problems are bound to arise.”

We’re getting the first look at Neo Yokio, Netflix’s new six-episode anime series from creator, writer and executive producer Ezra Koenig (Vampire Weekend), writer/executive producer Nick Weidenfeld and his Friends Night banner.

Jaden Smith stars as lovesick Kaz Kaan, the youngest member of a family of “magistocrats” – pink-haired demon slayers who once liberated the city of Neo Yokio. Today, his demon-slaying is barely more than a side-hustle coordinated by his Aunt Agatha (Susan Sarandon) – Kaz himself would rather concern himself with shopping, field hockey and – of course – mending his broken heart.

Always by Kaz’s side are his faithful mecha-butler, Charles (Jude Law), and his inseparable friends Lexy and Gottlieb (The Kid Mero and Desus Nice) as he navigates the complexities of life in Neo Yokio and tries to stay one step ahead of his arch-rival, Neo Yokio’s number one most eligible bachelor, Arcangelo Corelli (Jason Schwartzman.)

Things take a mysterious turn when Kaz is drawn into the turbulent world of ex-fashion blogger Helena St. Tessero (Tavi Gevinson), setting in motion a sequence of events that force him to question everything he knows about Neo Yokio.

The series is a collaboration between Netflix and Japanese anime studios Production IG and Studio Deen, along with Seoul-based animation studio MOI.

All six episodes of Neo Yokio will launch globally on Friday, September 22 exclusively on Netflix.

So it's another uninspired "technicolor-haired teenage protag with special powers must save the world from bad guys" wannabe anime no one's going to like--

>Steve Buscemi

Holy shit.

Also you would think Scientology would have better control over what the Smiths can or can't do.

Buscemi's been in a ton of stuff that sucks. This isn't surprising.

I want to finish the Death Note drama from 2015, but I'm constantly distracted by the fact L is prettier than Light.

Mad nerds that can't control they rage are just sad pathetic people. Spending death threats is NEVER cool, especially to people who are clearing just working for a paycheck.

Is Netflix's Death Note worth watching as a bad movie?

Is Netflix's Death Note worth watching as a bad movie?

It's not really a bad movie. It's not great, but it's not bad either. People just seem to be mad that it's not exactly like the anime, even though it was clear from the beginning that's not what they were going for.

it's worth watching for Willem DaFoe's performance alone though.

This bears repeating. I wish the rest of the movie could've been as well-handled as Ryuk's casting, DaFoe was literally perfect for it.

How much is Ryuk in the movie? If it's a lot I may give it a watch.

Quite a bit. He takes up a more active role than in the original anime.

Him and American Misa take on a much more antagonistic role in the movie. He's played up more as a God of chaos rather than a bored death god. Probably has to do with Western mythology vs Japanese mythology.
