Why does france always seem so tryhard when they do something? Is it because they still think they are the center of culture or some shit? I mean, even when brits or germans do something, they dont seem to act nearly as tryhard like they have something to prove.
Ok, that was pretty fun. A lot of western anime attempts are pretty revolting, but I can appreciate the energy here. Understands the rhythm of it pretty well.
Dont take me too far. there are definites a few notes that did get into mild cringe territory, but the majority of it was natural feeling.
Particularly the snap cut reaction shots where a bit much. I think its something thats particularly suited for Japan's "going through the motions" cultural cues that doesnt translate well to less rigid ones. However, the particular brand of sticktoitiveness energy really did feel genuine in a way that is very rarely done well in the west.
I object to the no one remembers parts. a lot of people (me included) cheese themselves to napoleon (and maybe the sun king if they are particularly cheesy), but its completely fair to say that no one cares about them any more since the 20th century.
>tryharding
If you’re talking about a video game, sure, mock the tryhards who take it too seriously. But the fact that you think real-world effort is something to be mocked says a lot about you.
I didnt mean it like that. I mean laying it on so thick that it feels like compensation for something. or jumping the gun so that there is a waft of insecurity about it.
Not as in putting 110% of your effort in something.
What are you talking about? As much as certain boomers like Uderzo or Zemmour seethe about them because muh French culture, Manga are top sellers in France and as far as I know none of them have been banned.
Back in the 40s France was having severe paper shortages that limited their printing runs, while imported US print was fricking them in the ass (supposedly), so in 1949 they passed a "Publications Aimed at Youth" morality law. In paper is was a CCA tier censorship move but in practice it pretty much banned every US import that wasn't Disney.
That's more or less how the BD ball got rolling. A years after that Tintin and Spirou became the primary comic franchises in the French language.
>it pretty much banned every US import that wasn't Disney.
And keep in mind that Disney comics are VERY popular in France, especially Duck comics. All those Italian Disney comics we never get in English are always translated into French just a few months later.

Is it just part of the french nature?
They wanna be Japanese
It's probably leftover Degaullism
They just have to

The french in general are really good at doing anime influence stuff why still making it special.
GOBELINS in general make a lot of cool stuff

The ruled the world for a bit and they're so fricking cheesed off that no one remembers or cares.

France banned Manga?
No.
and I know for a fact France didn't ban the American ones either.
so I don't know wtf is OP talking about
They banned Christianity, which was outcompeting Celtic Paganism during the French Revolution
I thought they banned islam
Abrahamic religions should be banned tbqh.
They did that already and they just made a new one based around 10's before going back to it.

Guess there's some truth to the "they are fricking us in the ass" excuse.
They banned US comics in 1949 under the guise of a CCA-like morality law.
they must have reverted it a long time ago then
sounds very American. I guess there is still an echo of familiarity betwixt.
