Imagine paying crunchyroll to watch this trainwreck...

Judging from the pictures on the side... this has plenty of rolls, but no crunch.

I go onto Tumblr:

People: Still complaining about 'whitewashing' in art
Rules: Not made by them uwu
Me: Disappointed in human society

More from the same artist

Spoiler: Artist herself

View attachment 525697
She call herself an enby appearently.

She seems jumps around 'tumblr artstyle' much.
Here's her tumblr if any of you are interested looking more
http://chirbinbirb.tumblr.com/

Spoiler: A lil bit about her

She is a 16 y.o minor. I remember I followed her long ago when she was deep into fma, a normal gal. And then I unfollow her because I was not interested in fma anymore and when I come back months later, she became this genderspecial tumblrina, kinning with Roy Mustang.

I really do hope she move away from that phase.

That artstyle is getting so prolific that within the next century, our descendants will honestly think Tumblr had only one artist and more alts than humans.

The background art looked kinda nice in the trailer, in the 0.5 seconds that actually dedicated to the product they are supposedly trying to sell. I mean, why tell/show us anything about the series beyond a vaguely generic premise, when you can have the creators front and center, praising themselves.

Then again, Crunchyroll is an awful service in the first place. This just adds more item to the column of bad decisions.

Let's be honest here: with as much as Rick hated Thatcher, he'd have a conniption over Trump.

I follow the artist who did the backgrounds on twitter, she's really good at what she does and also did the backgrounds for Disenchanted the new Matt Groening show from Netflix. Her background work is probably going to the best thing, creatively, about this show, tbh.

Does she come off as insufferable as the people in the trailer?

Continuing discussion about "diverse anime" tumblinas wants so much... Well, maybe because I'm not from US and not from "melting pot" country... I don't see why because media from all countries have to be "diverse" in American way, just because they are pretty popular worldwide. They became popular despite not having "one from every ethincity" cast. Some countries are melting pots. Some are homogenous. And they have the right to be this way. This is also diversity, right? That diversity obsession is pretty US-centric.
Also, I'm not really into anime, but I've read some time ago in Animation Magazine (I suppose it's good news source) that the biggest foreign markets for anime industry are by far Korea and China, not US or Europe. If I remember correctly even Philippines and some smaller Asia countries were before US on that list.
And there was time in 70s and early 80s when quite a lot of animes were made with European markets in mind - like World Masterpiece Theatre and other adaptations of classic children literature. And still sometimes there are series made as international co-productions between Japan and other countries (mostly rance, but also Middle East contries and Thailand recently).

tl;dr Not every country is like US and don't have its media made with woke Tumblr audiences in mind

To add to that, the idea of the melting pot is sometimes thought of as inferior to multiculturalism or the “salad bowl”; everyone somehow completely maintaining their original culture seperately (except not wypipo because they’ve largely assimilated into the mainstream American cultural melting pot and therefore “have no culture”).

And then there’s the fact that diversity advocates don’t care about different ethnicities within Europe, it’s all just “white people” to them. To be fair, most descendants of the immigrants from there are quite disconnected from their country(ies) of origin, but that’s definitely not exclusively true to Europe.
I’ve seen that you’re from Poland, and I happen to be ethnically Polish despite being mostly ignorant of what it’s like to actually live there.

Tl;dr America drags everyone else into its stupid bullshit that no one cares about, not even a good chunk of Americans

Ooooh, don't say that. They'll pull up statistics of ethnic diversity in Europe in the 1300s or whatever.

Doesn't help that the creators spend the majority of that time boasting about how much better they are than other studios because the writer's room is all women and your stated goal is "diversity" so therefore your work is by default more special.

It's already an arrogant thing for a creator to say just by itself, much less in the official promo, but they're marketing this to anime fans. Waltzing into a place full of people who are used to animation from places like Studio Trigger and claiming you're going to do things "other studios have forgotten how to do" is just begging for people to hate your product before it even leaves the gate.

Plus when people like Kate Leth are attatched to a product, you know that words like "original" and "sincerity" being thrown around are blatant lies.

God if some Americans think there is no difference between France or Poland in white Europe then why did Hitler masscaure the Jews? Slavs? Or why does Scotland want independence and why did the IRA even exist?

Is just so dumb to think the whole of Europe is culturally the same. They just think because Europe has white people they are the same as the US's white gated communities.

^This. I think you put it exactly into words why I hate this fucking mentality so much. It's almost...racist I dare say to assume that every country has to have the same US Tumblr woke mindset of diversity in order to be passable. The comic I linked a page ago really shows the ignorance of these people. It's not about making a good story. If the characters don't look like them it's like they can't function correctly! Normal people don't go on about this shit. You simply take what you can get and either make fanart/fanfic, enjoy it for what it is, or make your own shit. But with these people if it's not 100% diverse, even in cases when it makes no sense to be it's like the end of the world to them.

Here's something I found related to the subject:

When you're so "woke" that you can't enjoy shit anymore, that's the time to reevaluate your perceptions. Not everything has to be "woke" or deep. And the fact that Crunchyroll drank the "SJW" koolaid in an attempt to make themselves look better and to gain an audience that won't even watch is dumb.

 

[Donovan the Man]

Does she come off as insufferable as the people in the trailer?

Depends if you think retweeting threads about treating artists like any other skilled worker as insufferable. It can get grating if the op of the retweet comes off as an ass.

>all women
>diverse

... Unless they got women of as many ethnicities as possible, that doesn't sound very diverse.

They're all white women in glasses.

Maybe they got like a black lady and an Asian lady.

Let's present every artist with an approved checklist of every single thing they have to include in their stories, unless they want to be branded evil and problematic. I'm sure that works wonder for creativity.

(However, if you aren't a trans WOC or such, you're probably problematic anyway.)

So I suppose poc-in-media watches Tyler Perry flicks and Korean soap operas exclusively if seeing POC is the only aspect of fiction matters to them, and aren't just consuming media that that has all the things they complain about without actually looking for the stuff that supposedly matters this much to them because complaining is easier... right?
