| I might check it out since it's only, like, 1 episode or 18 minutes or whatever Not interested in isekai but because it's made by Gigguk, which is interesting at least, I'll give it a try |

| I'm so proud of the guy, Hope the best for him! I mean Kevin Penkin alone would sell my ass lol I really wonder how well his script writing for videos is going to translate to anime. I hope mal adds it, there is literally 0 reason not to. |

| It's isekai, I don't have much taste overlap with Gigguk, but having a Thai mythology spin on it sounds interesting, and it's just a short film so there's no harm in watching it when it comes out. I saw the PV for it and I like the animation. |

I've never replied to anything on the MAL forum, but I googled his anime to get to the MAL page and found this. After reading through the comments, and as an avid anime watcher of over 30+ years, it pains me to see how much of the community is comprised by absolute losers. Just bottom of the barrel, grade A bags of spoiled milk. Some of the responses to this are absolutely atrocious. I'm not the biggest Gigguk fan, but this is a guy that has opened a lot of doors for people to make a living out of their love for anime.
Shoutout to all of those who had no interest and still vouched for the dude.

| Looks like a mix of everything from Spirited Away, Shinsekai Yori. Made in Abyss, Utawarerumono, to Sword Art Online. And why does everything needs to be an Isekai these days? Why can't people just make normal fantasy or sci-fi anymore? Are modern audiences not able to relate to protagonists that aren't from their own time? |
Did someone say Gigguk lets fucking gooo  |

@ForgotEyeWasHere By this standard Howl's Moving Castle is also not an anime as it's based on Diana Wynne Jones' novel you utter spoon.
| @Deansdale Even if Howl's Moving Castle was adapted from a Western novel, it was still made by Japanese people, for Japanese people. I have stated many times already that an anime can adapt a Western work, and still be an anime if it meets those two guidelines. |
| I've been following Gigguk for years so i'm super proud of him for this! I'll definitely watch it when it comes out. |

| @ForgotEyeWasHere That standard is so subjective, it's irrelevant. Japanese people will watch, just like works like Edgerunners (a work you also don't consider anime) I saw plenty of Japanese fans watching on twitter, drawing fan art. Asking to not allow works made by Japanese studios, with an entirely Japanese staff, that still will be shown in Japan, dubbed by Japanese vAs first, on MAL is incredibly dumb, and only hyper weebs like yourself care. Whether it's popular or not is again irrelevant, tons of incredibly unpopular shows get made year to year, that barely anyone in Japan watches anyway. By your logic original works like the the Big O can't be on here, cause it was Western popularity and Cartoon Network that funded the second half. The reality is that your standard is "I am scared of Western producers/IP at all be involved in anime, cause Westerners are the devil", that is it, otherwise this would be another nothing burger. It's just hyper xenophobic weebs getting upset over nothing. I hardly care about Gigguk, I don't honeslty care about this work; however, the rabid xenophobia this fandom is insufferable, when a work piloted by largely a Japanese staff, can't be considered anime lol, just because you have a notable Western influencer taking on a producer/idea guy role, who had to sell them on making this in the first place. Frankly Japan adapting Western novels should count less as anime, because the writing literally was not written for them in mind at all. Anne of Green Gables is my country's work and targeted to Canadians in the late 19th and early 20th century, not Japanese people who largely were disliked at the time, considered inferior and used as disposable labor. Whether they ended up enjoying it is irrelevant to the actual "target". They aren't changing the actual writing significantly in those adaptions (Akane no Anne is pretty faithful), therefore your point is invalid. Those works are not targeted to Japanese audiences, Japan just liked it, just like they can like Gigguk's work too. I assume Gigguk wants to at least get some Japanese anime fans to watch, on the other hand, and will try to structure it to appeal to the LN crowd. Spheromancer basically explained exactly why this counts as anime by MAL's standards, who cares what your standards are. |

ForgotEyeWasHere said: Why does MAL have to cater to your personal definition lol? Like the gall, you have to insinuate that a literal Sunrise original work, in the 90s, shouldn't have it's second half on here, simply because it only happened due to Cartoon Network?

ForgotEyeWasHere said: No they don't, I have read Anne of Green Gables, and watched the adaption, there is nothing "Japanese" about them, beyond the art style and JP VA. It's my culture dude not Japan. You are only defending these works, cause it would be ludicrous to imply that we can't have those important early anime on here, due to the Western sourcing. I mean I haven't watched the Little Women, anime adaption, however, I know the live action and book and yeah, I highly doubt unless they changed the plot, you could argue that work is at all "Japanese" when it's heavily Americana. Don't get offended that anime and Japan like stuff that isn't' Japanese.I really wish people would read what I actually write on these forums. The fact is, World Masterpiece Theatre and Heidi may have been adapted from Western works, but they were still made by Japanese people, for Japanese people. Every take on a story has unique touches added to it, and these all have some of a Japanese touch to them. They are anime. Edit: You haven't even watched Akage no Anne, so why are you commenting like you know the work? Have you read the original books to any of the Masterpiece Theater works we are talking about to actually make this argument? At least for that one, no it's heavily steeped in British/Canadian culture, and that isn't changing just because they speak Japanese lol. Works like Edgerunners have more of a "Japanese touch" (the designs especially) so likely will whatever Gigguk makes. Like again, you are only arguing this cause you delusional weebs are scared about Western influence ruining your precious anime, taking away your precious fanservice (hilarious considering how uncensored Edgerunners was) or whatever. This industry will not survive in the long term, if it only relies on the Japanese market. It's through international funding from Asia and the West that so many Japanese works are getting made to begin with. You want isolation, fine die to China then when they poach all the Japanese animators. You would rather see the industry implode, rather than allow for good works to exist, and prosper, simply because it's not Japanese enough. That is next level stupidity. Globalism is how this medium even got started, and is benefiting from works like Edgerunners or Solo Leveling. This is literally a non issue. The weebs can't help it though to whine about Western influence, ignoring that you can see "Western influence" throughout it. |

| Seems like it'll be pretty interesting. Just being a short film, I wonder if they're just sort of work shopping the idea with potential plans to make a proper series if it's well received? I always find it cool when someone who is passionate about a subject gets a chance to actually contribute to it themselves. Even if it turns out to be mediocre, I'm happy for him. Also, wow some of the people on here are crazy negative. I hope you guys don't actually talk like that out in the real world. |

| Gigguk and all the guys on trash taste are very boring and lame. While it is baffling that tons of people genuinely like them so much (which is what makes them have so much money and such a good life) it is to be expected, since so many people also like other awfully boring internet celebs, youtubers and streamers (speed, moist critical, xqc, kai cenat etc). Trash taste trio is just the anime version of such bunch, though gigguk is the least worse in comparison to all of the ones mentioned here ofc, though no less overrated. So there is nothing special in the fact that it is being made by him, just an ok 18 minute video to be forgotten or liked, a passing news |
