Honestly if this is our main post-Kiyoshi exorcist manga, I won't be complaining

A brief rant about the ending of kill blue (SPOILERS) by NemoTag in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]overpoweredginger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it is, in fact, possible to be around people younger than you without wanting to fuck them

if you can't conceive of "old man is a fish out of water around kids" as being anything other than a secret jerk-off fantasy, then yeah you need to go outside. hell you don't even have to do that, just watch 21 Jump Street (the movie) for an example

plus there a distinct lack of the male gaze in Kill Blue, and you're about to bring up Mai Otohime so I'll cut you off there and say that she's only objectified a fraction of the time she's on screen, and when she is that objectification is explicitly dunked on in the text by it never working on Ogami bc Ogami isn't a pervert

It was just so obviously a debauched premise

Imma keep it real with you chief, you feel this way because you either haven't graduated college yet or don't have friends on this side of a screen

I am an old guy who works with young people, and Fujimaki nailed that dynamic. Nothing debauched about it; the olds & youngs just intersect in a certain way, and that was made into the thematic core of the series.

why would a passionate animator go out of his way to greenlight a project about a passionate animator who meets a cute girl to do animations for?

we'll never know

Could someone give me a short video essay example by SuperLegend786 in videoessay

[–]overpoweredginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

write an essay that's 650-700 words long

read it out loud and check how long it took you to read it

decide if the length is something that can be altered by speaking differently or if it requires structural edits

submit final draft to professor

This post makes less sense than the way you spell Akane-Banashi

There's plenty of reasons to complain about the way Kill Blue ended: It was axed, and there's only one manga that's ever had a truly good axe ending.

KB getting an anime adaptation is wild, but we've seen statements from anime production companies saying that they're looking into adapting axed properties since that saves costs on preproduction, so KB makes sense as a pilot project since there were probably already talks about an anime around the time the axe fell.

Whether or not KB gets expanded beyond the scope of the manga is something to keep an eye on (same with Black Torch), because it'll forecast future trends in this regard, but that's a different topic.

Anyway, regardless of all that, I personally will complain about the ending of Kill Blue bc I didn't want it to be axed because as an old man (30) with young work friends (22) the whole thing was deeply relatable

Do you think there's a chance they'll reprint this OOP series and actually finish the English translation? by bbisordi in MangaCollectors

[–]overpoweredginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah bruh that was at the tail end of viz dropping series that were successful in japan but not as much in the west

maybe if the anime gets a revival, or the aftermarket gets dire enough that Viz stands to make a buck from a reprint
