The first ep of this was unexpectedly good instead of trash like i expected from usual chinese garbage

the first ep of this was unexpectedly good instead of trash like i expected from usual chinese garbage

But why didn't it trend in Jap twitter, on Sunday morning? Precure trended instead. And didn't rank high on dAnime store and animate vote either. Chinks cannot bot their black ships properly unlike Koreans.

ep 4 is unironically kino.

it was mature and the characters had believable personality

Twitter is irrelevant, free yourself from the babbling of the masses, and have your own viewpoint on things.
Enlighter becoming God Eye was really cool, I liked him a lot since his intro in episode 1. The idea of a "Hero" who's whole power is just trying to find the worst in people worked brilliantly for the setting, with how Trust gives Heroes their power. Like if he'd just tried fighting Blankster with his drones, he's be done for, so he needed to see a flaw and exploit it to destroy him, I love that kind of shit. The Lin comes in and plays entirely into Enlighters bullshit, which in turn makes him earn everyones trust because Enlighter/God Eye is trying everything in his power to beat the shit out of some normal dude. Commoner is so much cooler than Nice, I'm glad Lin got to be himself in the end.

Ep 4's cliffhanger fucked it all up, ep 5 was the real kino.

watch this if you haven't (also other PVs): youtube.com/watch?v=08kp3Cs31Ow

if i really have to nitpick, ep1 had some chink vibes at the very beginning but it got ok in the second half. also all the scenes at the university of ep4 had really low quality cgi background (at least compared to the rest of the locations). hopefully it won't be a trend

finally the fake out death in ep1 was cringe, but since they repeated it in ep4 i assume it will be tied-in plot-wise somewhere down the line

the part where lin had WEAKNESS everywhere over him was peak

It looks so generic and cliche

i honestly can't remember the last time when an anime made me curious about the worldbuilding and theorycrafting as much as this. i guess it's because most of the stuff is manga/ln adaptations so everybody knows everything already, and originals aren't particularly good in general

it's out

Oh no, he's gonna get done in for stealing 1% Trust score from actual E-soul.

he's gonna get done in for stealing 1% Trust score from actual E-soul.

kino if true, i haven't thought of that kek

Is he going to confess to sexo girl? I confessed to a girl on valentines day but I got rejected. It still hurts.

Ep 4's cliffhanger fucked it all up,

I'm glad that ending happened. The worst thing they could do was forget about the ending of the episode and luckily that wasn't the case.

you are too used to inoffensive narrative where everything must be explained right away.

watch the mandarin dub dumb hypocrites

Internet people will surely understand who the real E-Soul is!!!!

Please Yang, whatever happens, don't become a faggot!!!

YEAH, this is the best moment of my life I'm literally stealing my favorite Hero's identity!!!

So many flags...

Do you a licence for that 1% trust score, you filthy peasant?

It's tough being a normie in China.

I prefer the Japanese VAs, but I have been watching it in chink because of "principles". It's not even like the chink VAs are bad, the guy who did Wreck absolutely oozed character.

I've seen both the eng and jap ones. They're both good for once, although the acting varies a bit. Eng Nice acts and speaks in a much more confident way, which I personally thought was appropriate.

you are too used to inoffensive narrative where everything must be explained right away.

Brug, it's going to be 20 episodes until we get back to it. It's a sticking point and nearly ruined E-Soul arc before it even began. If Yang Cheng weren't so Literally Me for the audience, the three episodes after would've been stillborn.

What reason could E-soul possibly have for tracking these two down to a fucking abandoned Island just so he can kill Moon? Does he just want to ootz with Lin?

according the current sota:
Text on Phone Screen: E-Soul's first face reveal in 34 years!
Young Boy: He's already got over a million likes!
Girl: You're becoming the hero everyone's looking up to.

Man in Pink Sweater: That imitation E-Soul I mentioned? He's getting more and more popular.
Screen Text/Official Voice: Everyone can tell who the real E-Soul is.

Yang Cheng (Main Character): Even though I don't know when this dream will end... just being able to dream still feels pretty good.

Girl (Voiceover): Promise me one thing.
Girl: No matter what the future holds, always be brave and honest with yourself, okay?

Man in Sunglasses: You're Yang Cheng, right?
Man in Sunglasses: You're coming with us.

i agree with the other anon, it's good because it confirms that ep1's fakeout wasn't a cheap trick

also 99% we'll get the beach scene continuation at the end/second half of episode 7, since E-soul is connected.

It's a sticking point and nearly ruined E-Soul arc before it even began.

You kinda fast in judging a character you know nothing about. That's exactly why i say you've gotten too used at inoffensive narrative that do everything they can to not annoy the audience with this terrible thing called suspense".

But you are right. The answers to episode 4 will come in the finale, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

I'm afraid not, the events narrated in the E-Soul arc take place 4-5 years before Ling's arrival. Before we get to the beach scene we will have to see the whole arc of the various characters.

Swimsuit episode? In Chinese donghua? Fuck off. China bans bikinis just like Korea tho. No bikinis in Chinese donghua, spite Aharen could be half-donghua tho ironically. No Chinese gacha have bikinis.

Anon, the thread topic for ep 4 was E-Soul Hate/We hate E-Soul here/E-Soul is a piece of shit etc. And no, those posters weren't all me.

i still think they will wrap up e-souls "transition" arc and the go back 5 years in the future

so technically Yang Cheng is the one who "kills" moon

as for the whole flashback arc, my prediction is that to become e-soul you need to let go of your real identity and stuff (like your arm) so they'll make him kill the kid and the girl

apparently "beach" triggers the bikini schizobot

because it's ugly cgishit

The internet is made by idiots

That's one thing I love about this show. There are so many allusions to how bipolar, ruthless, cynical, and downright petty internet culture is.

The new arc theme is literally the story of a legendary hero who saved the world and embodied the hope of all people in that moment. Now, after 40 years, the new Internet generation repudiates and betrays him with a younger, cooler version thanks to a couple of fake news. Just to demonstrate how volatile and weak people's trust is. And the meta thing... the same people now screaming hate against E-Soul in reddit or other channels is a fantastic example of all this. From episode 3 it became clear to me that these people know what they are doing here.

It is funny. He killed their self-insert gf. It doesn't matter if he saved the entire universe, Goslings wanted him gone... until they (me) realized Yang Cheng is a Gosling too. Everything was instantly forgiven when he was revealed to be a determined loser like the rest of us.

I will not watch this and I will not watch arcane just to spite (you) personally.

chinese cgi shit is not anime

Just to demonstrate how volatile and weak people's trust is

X really will just embody the Nietzschian ideal of the Ubermensch.

i thought X was literally me

Sorry anon, but Lin and Cheng are (literally you), X is a successful businessman with a strong work ethic, as shown in his trailer, and he's also the kind of guy who can literally do whatever he wants to. I know we all aspire to be like that, but be realistic.

X is a successful businessman with a strong work ethic, as shown in his trailer

maybe he become a wagie because being op was boring?

Lin and Cheng are (literally you)

NTA, that's why I like them. They make the show so relatable. Can't imagine how they'll possibly make the female protagonist episodes interesting. I relate more to the. Dog. Even.

That'd be a nice juxtaposition for the rest of the heroes when compared to him. They're all strong because other people believe in them and force their ideals onto them, but X is strong because of "mystery" and no one knowing what he can actually do, which we could infer as being the power to basically let him do whatever he wants with a snap of his fingers.

I relate more to the. Dog. Even.

Ahu just wants to keep his owner(?) safe, and loves her. I can immediately understand that, I have no fucking idea what Lucky Cyan, Goddess, or Loli will be like, outside of having a read on their base archetypes. Based on her trailer Goddess seems to have some kind of inferiority complex despite ranking higher than E-soul, THE GUY WHO SAVED THE FUCKING WORLD...I will not be able to get over that, even if it was 40 years ago in universe, we still remember WW2 like it just fucking happened, and that was almost 100 years ago and involved no cult powered walking doomsday devices. I really need more info on E-soul's past, because his PV is easily the coolest and every other character PV fucking shrinks in comparison.

chinese arcane

Goddess

Meant Queen, my bad.

Well in a pov shifting ensemble like this there's bound to be some that don't resonate much from person to person. I wonder if any women (female) even watch this show to begin with.

I wonder if any women (female) even watch this show to begin with.

There are definitely female viewers in China and Japan, and probably other Asian countries. Dunno about the west though, I have no friends these days so I don't really know what's popular for the normies anymore.

not-miku wants to become famous to get X's cock

loli peacocks in bars to get X's cock

queen want to change the world (to get X's cock)

it's that simple

My normie friends unironically like Demon Slayer and Dandadan.

arcane but straight

and that's a good thing

If I were tall and handsome and rich and powerful and intelligent and respectable I could be like X too, you know. What's so special about him?

Demon Slayer

I miss the days before the anime. I miss when people called it Kimetsu no Yaiba and not Demon Slayer :(

we all can be X anon after FDVR gets invented

Anon, pull the dildo our of your asshole, you'll make it someday. We all will. Make sure to put your trust in me and this message heheheh

zero was the old name for X

chat, is this real?

It wouldn't be surprising. The "Zero" in E-Soul's PV gives off the vibe that they might have been one of the first "experiments" at making a hero through manipulating people in order to give someone trust score. The only issue is it seems the people who believed in Zero thought we was some kind of Destruction God.

I NEED MORE BACKGROUND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

X will be revealed to be secretly working on dismantling the hero system and the toxic internet culture, trust the plan. It's no coincidence that in the ED he brings the rest of the heroes out of the gray stillness and into colorful reality, while making the trust app disappear at the same time.

Kill this destiny that’s trying to tell you what you should be

Into the void I scream, someone try and stop me

Check out my face, I got the look

Not gonna play by the book

This mic just got turned on, make your decision

after the last invention is invented

Will I live to see it?

That's much better than him secretly being a bad guy or worse, a jobber. Those are my main worries for his arc.

as long as you're younger that 80 you should be fine

There are some potential problems...

i want the black-mirrorish twist where people with highest trust score get killed

fine, make it 70 or younger then

The director said the OP lyrics are also from X's POV. And well, just look at them.

Didn’t you know it’s enough

Just to deserve that love

Without a crowd, without a stage

You’re still a real hero

All my life, they said that I was strange

But I knew that I could be the change

I still ain’t done enough

Not even close

I have no fucking idea what Lucky Cyan, Goddess, or Loli will be like

Queen is ambitious and wants X's position. we'll probably find out there's more, but she only has 2 episodes.
Not-Miku Cyan is in the same situation as Ling. A person who meant a lot to her died and she wants the power of X to bring him back to life.

I guess Cyan chapter will also be useful to Ling next arc.

it's kinda grim that the creator/director of tbhx/link click is the only chink out of 1.2b+ who can create something not shit

He's Literally Me

I'm actually surprised he hasn't been sent to an Uighur camp for his subversive writing. How can you criticize the Social Credit system as a mainlander? I'd understand if he was one of them Taiwachinese, but he's a Chinese Chinese. How does he do it?

he is not criticizing his government and the setting has similarity to The Boys with a superhero industry that serves to mask other goals.

i guess ccp decided that it's more worthwhile letting him cook and making china look good in the west than keeping him in a gulag.

until they (me) realized Yang Cheng is a Gosling too

The thing is that everything for Yang is probably going to end in the worst way possible. Lin Ling took the chance and threw himself at God's Eye and managed to become a hero as himself. Yang is going to be misery because he's going to take that step that Lin Ling refused and throw away himself to be E-Soul. That is probably why we went from Lin Ling to Yang because they're a parallel.

Seems to be working. Appealing cultural media is insane soft power. If only the west realized it and stopped being so gay and retarded.
