Even Marvel couldn't sell it's anime, doubt DC can.
this shit has Harley in it, so it will automatically be more popular that whatever "anime" marvel shat out
Is niche gamer still just seething click bait article site or have they actually chilled yet?
Some moron at WB heard anime is doing better than everything else and went all in
They self destructed their own shit with DEI and now have to rely on the Far East to save their asses. WB don't deserve saving.
They also want the DEI for the VA cast and all people involved in the making of those anime. Is it possible? who should they talk to? the japanese director or japanese entertainment minister maybe?
are they wrong though? If they had a show like batman the animated series but like an anime with proper arcs that'd be sick
With the hot Marvel just got from the new X-Men show, they have now completely obliterated DC on all fronts. Comics, cartoons and movies. Actually I guess DC/wb has tv shows still but not for long with zazzy In charge.
>can wb be saved?
yes, but its gotta be meta as frick
dark times call for dark characters to show up
ie simon dark and the dark justice league
but this will NOT be done, mainly because gunn is at the helm and doing anything that isnt quippy is against his rules
>simon dark
Now there's a name I haven't heard for a long time...
considering how easily the cyberpunk netflix anime duped normalgays into buying a broken year old game, i'd say it's the smartest creative decision they've made in a while
>anime is profitable in the us
>WB decides to produce anime
>WOOOAHHH WTF THEY ARE CRRRAZYYYY!!!!
Especially since WB already makes anime. They have a Japanese division, Warner Bros Japan.
Anime isn't popular because of its art style.
It's popular because they tell edgy stories without being limited by budget, with plenty of violent action scenes and constant exposition that makes it impossible to be confused as to what's going on. It's the perfect content for the manchild who wants something more impactful than capeshit.
Americans are morons though and still associate cartoons=children's entertainment so won't put the needlessly edgy shit in there.
But Cyberpunk indicates that netflix at least somewhat gets it.
>Dropping western animation
>Investing more heavily in anime
Seems to me they're at least trying to save themselves right now.
That said, these large companies are still unwilling or unable to fully address the root of the problems they're having. Until they stop taking half measures against the cancer, they do not have a good prognosis. Animation is just one department, and they're not completely gutting all production stateside, so they'll probably still have the same people making the same dumb creative decisions.
This is like a desperate "dry run" if they think they can run RWBY now that Rooster Teeth officially filed for bankruptcy. This is so gonna blow up in and of themselves that RWBY would be pretty much dead after. Still, people would find a way to keep that show afloat, WB or no WB.
Exactly, which is why they're not really trying to save anything. Anime isn't popular because of the nip animation style, it's popular because it's telling the kind of stories people want to enjoy, remembers that actually people *do* like to see attractive people doing suggestive things, and largely leaves The Message out of it.
Does anyone really believe DC is ready to do those things? Of course not, so what they produce will be anime in the same way a veggie burger is beef.
Suicide Squad ISEKAI isn't being written by a western writer, but by the guy who wrote Re:ZERO.
>Harey Quinn
Are there really no other characters? Given some more time she will be part of Big DC 3 alongside Superman and Batman
>western crunchyroll tier slop
>anime
>american anime
it's over
>Harley Quinn slop
Again?
The Japanese made American cartoons in the 80s and 90s, so it's not a new concept. Just look at the people who don't think of GI Joe, Transformers, and Thundercats as animes.
The problem is wokeness now that Larry Fink is fricking ruining the Japanese market now.
>people escaped nigged-out western shows and watch anime
>corporation: "we should make anime out of our nigged-out shows!"
So this article was telling the truth all along...
Harley Quinn AYAYA
Is it just DC shit? In which case I don’t care, but if they wanted to do Monsterverse, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Dune, Matrix, or even a Willy Wonka anime, I’d be a little bit more curious.
There's one for Lord of the Rings coming out called The War of the Rohirrim. I was disappointed that animated anthologies didn't become a thing after The Animatrix.
There was one for Batman and Halo.
Completely forgot about Halo Legends. I wasn't aware of the Batman one.
the news isnt that they gonna make endless capeshit anime now but rather the anime studio warner bros japan is gettin funds and going to pump out more anime than they already did
https://myanimelist.net/anime/producer/415/Warner_Bros_Japan
The only good western anime, which was not marketed as such, was Avatar
Avatar was never good.
I want WB to be fricking dead, same goes for Marvel.
Marvel why
WB has made bad movies, but Marvel has never made a movie below 9/10
They saw making an anime did wonders for Cyberpunk and they probably figured it could do the same for them after being overtaken by Marvel in the live action scene.
>even in anime, Deadshot is still a darkie
>capeshit AND isekai
legitimately the final form of low-IQ slop
It's not Japan's fault their parodies of capeshit are better than Hollywood's capeslop.
My Hero Academia isn't a parody. It doesn't even pretend to be a parody. It's just a japanese take on the genre, with all the tropes of popular anime like dbz and Naruto.
One Punch Man was supposed to be a parody of the genre but is actually just a worse version of MHA
WORM is absolute shit, yet it manages to do everything BNHA set out to do much better.
unless they forbid westoids from writing, it's doomed to fail
While misguided and unfortunate for anime fans, chasing anime popularity is probably one of the most sane things they've done in years.
>While misguided and unfortunate for anime fans
Why? 95% of anime are garbage already.
Sure, but that doesn't mean it can't get worse if the west manages to put any influence into the industry.
absolutely this, the west or the western ideals have already slithered their ways into modern anime.
as an example, the Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi manga had a decent amount of fanservice but the anime removed almost all of it
>Harley again
Aren't people sick of her at this point?
She's by far the most popular and recognizable character in DC comics
Marvel made several anime based off Iron Man, Blade, Wolverine, and X-Men. And no one remembers or cares.
Making an anime based off an IP isn’t guaranteed to be a success.
>we're less than 5 years away from wb announcing ZSJL p2 as an anime with all the original actors returning to voice their characters
It's better than nothing
Is an art style capable of nullifying western pozzitivity? No? Then why the frick would watch that?
the final nail in the coffin for anime. let's face it, it's already been mostly for normies for the past decade now.
