Damn I was just gonna ask why he's not posting oshi no ko lol

zoisekai

I intentionally didn't watch ep2 and 3 because I wanted it as watch along

The beer you are talking about must be Asahi

Japanese playboy is .. not that kind of magazine. And yeah, this storyline is aqua centric but the next arc is ruby centered. So we'll get there.

Luke, put Bakuman in your anime radar. It's about becoming manga artist, media adaptation, the industry, etc.. Bakuman author is the same with Death Note.

Potter889

11:39 At least someone else isn’t brushing her teeth. Once you watch another certain anime involving teeth brushing you will never trust any show where teeth brushing is involved again.

Luke, the important point is that GOA is a huge fan of the original manga. So to him it's not the opinion of "just one person". Essentially, the manga author he genuinely admires trashes his entire script, says that he doesn't understand his favourite manga at all, and on top of that states that he would be better off just quitting his line of work, his passion. That must feel absolutely devastating for him.

Jared Heynig

we should try and get bakuman into the running as a reaction to get a more behind the scenes of the manga industry?

Kyle Garrett

I can't imagine how painful it'd be to idolize an author and love their work, get a chance to work on the adaptation of a series you love, put your heart and soul into working on it, only for the author to see your work and just tell you your work is trash, you have no talent, and they never want to see you associated with their work again.

Kyle DeForest

Melt was given the cold shoulder because he was the terrible lead actor in the show Aqua and Kana acted in together, so of course the manga author would feel ill will towards the dude

Legiev

I think you're mistaken, when set out on making a specific film, like Avatar, they don't got any source to go off, they have an idea and make the story in the process of making the entire movie. In cases like Sweet today (the manga they were talking about) the author gave the producers of the drama full control, which means they can do whatever they want with the series. In the case of Sweet today, they used it to train new potential actors, like the purple/pink haired dude. He was an actor in that drama, he sucked ass and so did the other actors outside of Kana. Which sadly made the drama a horrible adaptation.

JOSHUA A STERRETT

The only play you've ever seen is a production created by people who hate and mock the source material? Dude, go watch Hamilton or Les Miserables. (While you're at it, you've seen the play, now read the Book.)

SilverWolfGn

I don't watch Oshi no ko by myself, I always wait for Luke's reaction, and it was a long longgg wait, but it was worth it

JOSHUA A STERRETT

STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT ENGLAND NOT HAVING COOL THEATRES! YOU HAVE THE FREAKING ***GLOBE THEATRE*** FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! But yeah, that sort of rotating-audience thing is a very new theatre experience. Video monitors as backdrop are getting more common, though.

He's inserting himself into the script." Luke is so eager to show that he made his point that he missed the next line where the script-writer DIDN'T use fewer lines.

They announced a Stage-Around coming to Liverpool back in 2017 but we've not heard anything about it since.

SamJaz

The Author's statement that 90% of every creative work is worthless is a reference to Sturgeon's Law: a statement an American Science Fiction author and critic gave in the 50's as a rebuttal that science fiction novels were worthless drivel- he said that "Ninety Percent of everything is crap", to indicate that the presence of low-quality products exists in every field; books, tv, movies, cars, cheese, music, people etc. He went on to say that the remaining 10%, the good 10%, was treasure worth digging through the crap to find. Google "Sturgeon's Law" and you'll find articles on Wikipedia and TvTropes about it.

Lucian

he streams hxh today on twitch, and the upload will be tomorrow so chill

Someone made a youtube video about how the adaptation of LOGH from novels to 100+ episode animation was ones of the best: It was a very faithful adaptation especially with keeping in character, but the sequence of events/dialogue had to be switched for more dramatic effect. The video is titled "Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Anime vs. Books [Diaries of a Madman Edition]" by Sir Chasm for those interested, particularly LOGH fans.

For anyone who's interested in shipping characters, imo Akane x Aqua is the only ship that makes sense. No amount of therapy would "heal" being murdered, reincarnated, and having your idol mom murdered in front of you, so there goes Aqua x Therapy. Akane doesn't mind Aqua giving her the cold shoulder and they both help each other out a lot. She has suffered to the point of suicidality so she would understand his dark side as well. Kana Arima can't keep up with who Aqua actually is. His soul is like ~50 years old.

Super ironic that the episode says that writing weekly manga isnt a job suited for humans, considering Oshi No Ko is a weekly manga. Recently its been more bi-weekly

Jay P

18:40 I don't know if you caught that properly, but here it was the opposite. GOA mused taht it would be better with fewer lines, but still tried to add more as he understood that was the request. He tried to do everything to please the writer, but nevr got the actual requests.

Jay P

The woman mangaka isn't terrifying. It's the manga industry that is terrifying. They made the apartment look gloomy and depressing but that isn't exaggerated in any way. Any weekly publishing mangaka is hunched over hours over those tables with even less than 2 hours of sleep sometimes and many have to retire early for health problems, or just die doing the manga. rest of HxH is also unlikely to ever get drawn as the creator is in too much pain to even draw it.

Lawrence

I mentioned it on youtube, but it would be cool if Luke (or anyone else) reacted to Bakuman, an anime about manga creators, from a manga by the author of Death Note. It has the same kind of inside detail (and eccentric creators) that Oshi No Ko does.

Ryan Palyo

I don't really think the script writer was adding any bias with the "it would be more moving with fewer lines" comment. When they were showing how the sentiment from the author was getting messed up down the communication line, she first said she hated how much the characters were talking for seemingly no reason. Meaning she wants the talking to be cut down or made more meaningful. And the scriptwriter shared that same sentiment, but the way it was passed on just messed it up. After all, he did say he was a fan of the manga and didn't want to change any more than what was needed for the play.

The playboy magazine that Ruby mentioned, i believe features more on the gravure models than the western playboy magazine

Arcade'owy Łowca

They literally explained that releasing this anime every week is a pain in the ass.

Arcade'owy Łowca

She's harsh but she's right. 99% of media won't go down to end up in history lessons. For example, today aires about 18 anime episodes. As per this one day. Yet the ones being watchable to me are... 2 of them. And out of these, just one is big shot, the other one is just crossing the line of something I would watch. So by this small sample, you've already got the statistic of 94% being forgotten. Of course, this is in no way the representational sample, it is way too small for that.

"Weekly Playboy" in Japan is very different to the Playboy you're thinking of and they also aren't related beyond having a similar name; from memory I think it's actually owned by Shueisha, the same company that runs Shonen Jump. It is still a men's magazine that focuses on attractive women (often in states of undress) but it's far tamer.

Aaren YASS

completely agree. I have other ships, but as far as Aqua goes, Akane is just VERY good at reading and a world-class study. Pairs well with someone that's super analytical. -

Lawrence

"Is melt an unusual name" -- well, aside from celebrities giving children weird names (Aqua, Ruby), I think Aqua commented that "Akane is acting under her real name" at one point. I think the inference is that many performers use distinctive stage names.

Lawrence

I think it's great that in the last 3 or so years we've been gifted with four totally brilliantly written anime: Oshi-No-Ko, Mushoku Tensei, Bocchi the Rock, and Vinland Saga. (Some pretty well written weekly manga-based ones as well, but the episode-by-episode writing of the above are all a cut above them, I believe...)

Lawrence

If you've got a weekly manga, you're not only getting 4x the income, but you're also usually published in one of the limited number of really big magazines, so your royalties etc. will be much higher. Incidentally, for more on this, check out the manga and anime Bakuman (written by death note's creator), a series about manga creators.
