Started watching the series with this episode. Loved those random hairstyles of Leo/need members. Also the tribal culture facepaint cause band's name. Saki looked so cute <3
Can't wait for next one.

I agree with this part lol
It's really annoying having to watch them take down the video cause of this
SEGA discontinuing Global ver when

This is why we can't have nice things.
Like you said I won't be surprised if they discontinue Global ver sometime after this :c

Btw nice signature.

Seriously, why is it that every time a tan is used somewhere in Asian culture, Americans think they are trying to portray blacks? Every time someone draws Genshin's Kaeya less tanned, people scream that it's whitewashing.

UsamiMitsu said:
Uh- what happened to episode 6? Why is it private???

Edit: Apparently EN community got triggered by ganguro lmao. This is why most JP games don't release a global version of their game, to prevent this from happening.




It really is. They even forced Sega to write a formal apology.

Well, people often say that IMAS gatcha doesn't get a global release due to Bamco's concerns about such things. However, this is to be expected in this case, given that SEKAI fandom is generally on the same level as Genshin's.

This is ridiculous.

Thank goodness I live in a country where I can put some face paint for fun and people will actually understand it's for fun without starting imagining things.

Which is weird because Kaeya is clearly fair skinned with a slight tan lmao.

People are really crazy about this. There was a scene in Love Lab where the characters pretended to be die hard gyaru and one weirdo on twitter started whining that it was blackface. They seem to literally deny artificial tanning in principle.

people really going out of their way to defend this, it was literal blackface no matter how you look at it. this isn't even the first time something like this has happened in this franchise either, it's really unfortunate to see what they'll do for views. honestly wouldn't be surprised if the en version doesn't last much longer

Please google what is ganguro and gyaru in particular. Stop trying to provoke scandals around Japanese media because of the Western mentality or tropes.

yup..i have. i don't know if you're black or not, but a large majority of black people online have publicly said it's blackface, it's obvious to see too. and we non pocs shouldn't be trying to get all defensive about it just because of the different culture. there are plenty of threads on twt by poc who actually explain why it's not ganguro or gyaru. a very obvious one is how they're dressed as animals, if it was supposed to be ganguro/gyaru , then why did they have to heavily "tan" their faces and dress them up as animals??

it's not a scandal, it's blatant racism being used in a way to get views. and it's not "western mentality", i think black people (and anyone for this matter) from anywhere are able to tell what is racist and what's not.

Again, this is not Western culture and the Japanese should not care what foreigners think about it. Western people love to complain about cultural appropriation, but now you are literally blaming the Asian nation for not accepting your cultural tropes.

Because the image of gyaru is associated among the Japanese with the south and southern culture. In particular, gyaru were inspired by youth films about California. You just have no idea what Japanese tropes about black people look like.

i've seen alot of people say that this was ganguro/gyaru, it really isn't. it's just plain brownface. you can tell by the clothing leo/need wears that it was trying to imitate tribes and it came off as offensive, intentional or not.

people need to understand why POC were unhappy with this episode instead of trying to excuse/defend it.

I disagree with the paranoia around racism, and the social justice that results from it. Being aware is enough, in my opinion.

The anime itself is not that good, but I'm watching it. Episode 3 was funny, but 6, not so much. The most standout thing about it is the ending, as it's far more interesting than a generic J-pop song. Now it's a J-random-electronic-genre-I-don't-have-the-name-for-and-will-probably-never-hear-again song. I'll just call it IDM, because it sounds somewhat intelligent!!!!!!!!!!!
