I usually like anime that're not very anime, especially western-influenced ones. It's hard to find ones that are.

But it's pretty easy for manga, which is why manga is infinitely better than anime.

context please?

Spoiler

He's fanservicing Sarada, who's literally 11.

 

[Schadenfreude]

context please?

In the new Boruto manga, the artist (not Kishimoto) redesigned Sarada's outfit into something....less savory.

 

[Moaradin]

Yeah, it's pretty gross. Thankfully, the anime is completely ignoring these designs (and has much better art).

........................ugh

at least if she was a teenager you can excuse it for being pandering to its demographic but ugh

 

[Morlas]

seriously if there's one thing i can't really knock Kishimoto for it's his character designs are at least practical maybe barring Naruto's use of bright orange, none of the Kunoichi wore freaking stripper heels when he was writing it, even the "sexy" ones like Anko oh what should i have these 12 year old ninja girls wear? oh i know short skirts and super high heels, those are totally what a ninja would wear.

 

[Moaradin]

Sarada's original design was really good to begin with. No idea why the mangaka decided to change it.

 

[cntr]

Kishimoto was always really good at designing a large cast! He just wasn't good at actually using them.

 

[BBboy20]

Christ, I think there might be AOT spoilers in my Twitter feed.

 

[Morlas]

Seriously does that even seem like something someone with a personality like Sarada's would even wear?

 

[JadedWriter]

context please?

Spoiler

Sarada "look at me in these sexy ninja heels and no shorts" Uchiha.

I'm still surprised that Sarada's fan art is superior to her official non Kishimoto art.

 

[caliph95]

Maybe she wasn't female uzumaki kid but ino

Spoiler

Sarada "look at me in these sexy ninja heels and no shorts" Uchiha.

Spoiler

Sasuke: i have no daughter

 

[JadedWriter]

Like look at this dope shit:

She's a very well designed character, this hack Ikemoto just opted to fuck it up and drag her down a path she wasn't supposed to be going down anyway. Just mix in some of that Uchiha edge and she's perfect.

I voice Mash in Fate/Grand Order: First Order. It's premiering at Anime Expo!

Yuuki from SAO 2.

 

[cntr]

sounds grand

Spoiler

sorry just wanted to make that pun

 

[Morlas]

I think most of us know her as Ryuko Matoi from KlK

 

[cntr]

I haven't seen KLK's dub, but what I've heard...it's a thing.

 

[Moaradin]

or Gon in HxH

 

[Seda]

Most relevant character to this thread now would be that guy named Gon

 

[caliph95]

Daily reminder in terms of anime F/z is the only one worth recognising in fate

 

[cntr]

maybe that fact had gon straight out of Line_HTX's mind

Spoiler

Gon and Ryuko share a VA?

 

[caliph95]

oh yeah that gon kid isn't the one with the friend sasuke

 

[HStallion]

Didn't realize Gon was voiced by a woman but I don't pay attention to many of the VA's in an English dub unless its one of those who always has a familiar voice *cough Steve Blum *cough*

 

[cntr]

Gon and Killua are younger than the age rating HxH gets nowadays.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Kishimoto was always really good at designing a large cast! He just wasn't good at actually using them.

Maybe things get better eventually but for a while now in Shippuden I've been thinking the guy ran out of good character designs

 

[Line_HTX]

Yes, I completely forgot she was Gon as well. It slipped my mind and... I also stopped watching.

 

[Seda]

Kill la Kill dub, like most of aniplex dubs we've seen, is pretty strong overall.

 

[cntr]

Maybe things get better eventually but for a while now in Shippuden I've been thinking the guy ran out of good character designs

oh yeah, it totally fell apart at some point.

but for a while he was, and sometimes he still is.

Rule of thumb in anime if its a kid not in their teens its a female voice actress

 

[Crocodile]

1) RIP Adam West

2) I agree that Moe tropes are the worst

3) E3 is starting early this year no? Was their Saturday conferences last year?

4) LOL wut @ Sarada's design in the manga. The heels are the worst part >_<

Kind of weird to realize that Yorknew's ending in a few weeks. It's faster paced than I remembered.

If I remember right, tonight's HxH is pretty good?

As a HxH neophyte this is hard to believe. Almost the entire Troupe is still alive. This arc must not be ending how I thought it would.

 

[Morlas]

My biggest problem with shippuden is the rookies were woefully underused.

 

[cntr]

HxH arcs are weird.

Probably a pretty safe thing to say about HxH in general lol

Pretty much

Unless you're Japanese Goku.

 

[cntr]

Goku retained his kid VA so he's not an exception.

Luffy is, though.

 

[Morlas]

Because using a male kid as a VA doesn't always work out since the voice changes a lot and they can't make them sound the same, luckily Zack Callison found a better Voice for Steven Eventually.

 

[caliph95]

I guess since luffy is very childlike both Japanese and English have a female voice actress for it. It fits for him to have a kids voice and i can't imagine otherwise

How does he sound so young

 

[HStallion]

Well I mean Gon and Killua do grow up during the run of HxH so their voices probably would be changing anyways but I can understand.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Which is especially weird because when you think about it, outside of the Sexy Jutsu (which even then was more used for the sake of comedy), Kishimoto actually avoided inserting fanservice. You'd think his assistant would stick to that trend.

and Tsunade though its very tame but yeah idk why have it for a kid

 

[cntr]

How much fanservice did Rurouni Kenshin have compared to One Piece?

Spoiler

I kid

Yakiko lit the world afire.

 

[Morlas]

yeah oda does a lot of fanservice, but at least he doesn't put prepubescent ninja girls in stripper heels.

 

[HStallion]

Yeah he just fucks over most of his characters ;D

Edit: Wait confused Oda with Kishi somehow, nvm.

I actually think there are more female voice regulars than males in HxH, not sure though. Gon, Killua and Kurapika are females, Matt Mercer is the only male voiced main that I can think. Sure a lot of males pop up but they're not really series mainstays outside of the Troupe.

Oda's already bad with fanservice, but thank god and buddha for that.

Helps that his Japanese VA manages to sound masculine at appropriate moments.

i wish
anyway thait is interesting and never thought about it also hisoka's Keith if he counts

 

[JadedWriter]

Well I mean Gon and Killua do grow up during the run of HxH so their voices probably would be changing anyways but I can understand.

I think the only way those two get new voices is if they do either a time skip or they bring back the anime and they run into an Aaron Dismuke situation where he hit puberty.

I keep forgetting Hisoka is a bit of a regular. I love Keith's Hisoka.

 

[Mizerman]

Kishimoto was always really good at designing a large cast! He just wasn't good at actually using them.

He built a decent lore and it's a shame that he didn't tap into it all the way.
