Urgh...how much hate do you have to have to say that? At this point, everything that can be said about Yamamoto has been said already so yeah. I did give Hakubo a try but what a waste of time

Just how many times he was supposed to leave the industry?

Maybe if it wasn't an anime inspired by his former coworker's passing, and maybe if he was a better person overall, he'd have an easier time getting funding
I watched Hakubo and it felt very bland, there was nothing really special about it at all but he was supposed to retire for the umpteenth time after that |

Is he saying that if original anime movies aren't produced the anime industry is doomed, or is he implying the world desperately needs a dark magical anime movie inspired by recent human tragedy cause otherwse anime is done for?? Either way, that's a bit of an overstatement, dude. |

I am sorry but after fractle and his other animes, all I can think about this is GOOD the anime industry is terrible enough to animators without you being in it again.

"The Kyoto Animation fire was a devastating tragedy...when it broke out"? That makes it sound like an accident. :/

On a positive note, if you want to see an anime series in part deal with the emotional effects of the Kyoani fire, there's always Naoko Yamada's Heike Story; a show let its themes of grief & remembrance speak for itself, rather than using crass imagery and tacky, insensitive interviews to invoke the tragedy to shill a product.
It also helps that Yamada represented Kyoani at its peak, rather being a disturbed, pathologically dishonest dirt-bag, whose biggest call to fame was being kicked out of the studio. |

I've been wanting to re-watch Fractale for a while now wouldn't be against seeing more
Yamakan projects produced the medium could use a few more compelling titles that aren't connected to pre-existing titles. Last edited by iamthevastuniverse on Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:55 am; edited 1 time in total |

The project seems tone-deaf/exploitative. And this dude sounds like a megalomaniac. I'm surprised anyone wanted to throw their money into this pit at all. I'm glad this didn't work out. And I hope it will not work out.

>me: hey, I remember that name!
(15 minutes of refreshing on his history later >me: I'm more surprised it get to the point of 'stalled' instead of never getting off in the first place. Man, I remember his comments while making Fractale being such a huge conversation back then, but now I only remember that project as being "that project that that weirdo director made that had a bunch of weird nontroversies in it." I didn't even know he made anything after Wake Up Girls. I only know him for his stupid controversies where he insulted everyone, so I'm surprised he even gets this far. It's super egomaniacal of him - it's like he thinks he's Shinkai, Anno, or Miyazaki, when each of them are better than him and never as egomaniacal as this guy, and worse, he's talking about the KyoAni attack as if he could be some sort of hero or something. Honestly, it feels like the project is done in poor taste, the guy in general is just a boor, and I can't comprehend how he's still relevant besides as a "funny manchild made a new comment haha" sort of way. |

Normally I would be supportive of new ideas in the magical girl genre, but… it’s Yamakan.

I see that there's some major controversy surrounding this guy but I hope the project takes off cause I desperately need more dark magical girl shows.
