News Thread Anonymous 03/10/2023 (Fri) 15:07:36 No. 2863
Felt the thread needed one. Starting with some amusing news. No Game No Life Creator Fires Back At Western Reader Bitching About No Dark-Skinned Characters https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/03/09/no-game-no-life-creator-fires-back-after-western-reader-criticizes-series-lack-of-dark-skinned-characters/ >Yet, despite the game taking place in a fully fictional country, a Western reader unsurprisingly took issue with the fact that Disboard did not exactly parallel real-world history. >On March 2nd, Kamiya took to Twitter to reveal that they had recently “received a scolding DM from a foreign reader who said ‘There were brown-skinned people in medeival and early modern Europe, why don’t they appear in your work?'” >Responding directly to this accusation, the Brazillian-Japanese creator declared, “First of all Disboard is not in Europe.” >“Were there furry ears or elves in medieval Europe?,” he added before noting “Also, there are usually brown-skinned characters.” >It should be noted that one of the sixteen different sentient races who have a seat at the table of Disboard politics are the dwarves, all of whom are noticably more tan than their peers. >However, as they did not appear in the series’ anime adaptation nor have they made their debut in its manga version, it seems that this fan had not fully engaged with Kamiya’s work before attempting to rake him over the coals. >Ultimately, the entire interaction left Kamiya wondering if they would have a better understanding of the fan’s mentality if, instead of leaving for Japan with his parents at the age of 7, he had lived out his life in the United States. >“I wonder if I wouldn’t understand it because I am now completely close to the Japanese,” said the creator. Didn't realize the NGNL creator was half-brazilian, kek.
At least he doesn't appear to be cucking out.
>>2899 Yeah, there was also some funny news about Akira Toriyama and black characters with him not giving a fuck, but I'd have to look around for it
>>2863 Nobody likes shitskins. There is no reason to have niggers in any media, unless they are cannon fodder to be killed by White and Japanese people.

>>2912 >Akira Toriyama
a nobody complaining about a series that he didn't even read or watch. a classic,besides dwarves got shown on the movie and are more dark skinned so no biggie.
>>3068 Are there some sort of anthologies by Toriyama? Guy from the archival thread here.
<Manga Publisher Wants Cloudflare to Expose Operators of Popular ‘Piracy’ Sites >Manga publisher Shueisha has obtained a subpoena at a California federal court that requires Cloudflare to expose the operators of several piracy-related sites. The targets include 13dl.to, manga-zip.is, wupfile.com and hexupload.net. Each of these sites has millions of monthly users and are predominantly popular in Japan >Japan’s largest publisher Shueisha finds itself at the frontline of this battle. The company has taken a variety of legal actions, also in a U.S. court, where it hoped to find evidence against the operators of Manganato.com; thus far without result >Cloudflare typically complies with these types of requests but whether that will help Shueisha address its piracy problem depends on how useful the information is. After all, many pirate site operators do all they can to conceal their personal information >These efforts can provide results, however. Three years ago, popular pirate site Mangastream disappeared after being targeted by a DMCA subpoena obtained by Shueisha >At the time of writing all of the targeted sites remain online. That said, some progress has been made, as the infringing Grand Jump copies are no longer available on wupfile.com, hexupload.net, and manga-zip.is https://archive.is/juz2q <Japan’s Pirate Manga Site ‘Leak’ Isn’t a Failure, It’s Potential Education https://archive.is/lFfgL
>>3254 Fucking Shueisha, I didn't hear much about them but I guess manga and anime are finally going to start being taken more seriously with regards to anti-piracy stances and attacks, how horrifying.
>>3255 And that's a good thing. Normalfags will be driven away and only the strongest will survive.
>>3254 >Manga Publisher Wants Cloudflare to Expose Operators of Popular ‘Piracy’ Sites First it was Daily Stormer, then it was 8chan, then it was Kiwifarms, now it's Manga.
<Adult Swim Reveals Trailers for Uzumaki, Ninja Kamui, FLCL: Grunge Anime >Adult Swim revealed trailers for the Uzumaki, Ninja Kamui, and FLCL: Grunge anime on Saturday. FLCL: Grunge will debut on September 9, and Ninja Kamui will premiere later this year. The video for Uzumaki does not reveal a debut window, but Jason DeMarco confirmed on Twitter the anime is coming later this year https://archive.is/XdB7c Also Netflix put out a trailer for One Piece that I missed.
>>3254 Always pirate. Never buy.
>>3433 That cgi flcl is awful looking. I really feel bad for kids these days, the shit they pump out for them is so bad.
>>3480 It looks like something you'd see on cartoon network, one of those failed/ugly 3D cartoons
A bit surprised I haven't seen anyone talking about this.
>>3575 >Netflix >western IP what a waste of animation talent, but then again this is apparently by Science Saru so its not like they have anything better to do, its probably better than their other dogshit I guess people who liked Scott Pilgrim will probably be happy.
>>3480 Yeah. Reminds me how that Trigun remake looked like fractured ass. >>3575 I haven't cared about Scott Pilgrim in a very long time.
Go woke go broke. Yo ho ho.
>>3723 What happened this time?
>>2863 Yeah.. If he is half Brazilian, that would mean he was around darker tones at a younger age. I'm glad our mangaka is not afraid to put quality over the goals of backseat writers
