TBATE anime is a huge letdown… Petition link inside

Not like they'll care, unless the Japanese people start complaining, even though animation is fine for what this series is

@Hazzardous2
mmm while you speak some truth, I don't think it can be understated just how big the western market for anime has gotten in the past 5 years with streaming sites. In 2020 Sony bought Crunchyroll for $1.175 billion, for example and that's not including Netflix and others.
Tbate especially, (I believe) has a huge market for Korean & Western readers since it's not a manga, therefore likely not advertised in JUMP, etc: It's a comic/manhwa.

Turtleme, the author of the Tbate comic & light novel is Korean-American so hopefully he can work something out with whoever he sold the license to. Not sure what the specifics of the contract are but the anime definitely needs a revisit and from a reputable studio that can replicate the comics art style.

I really do not want another Berserk 2016 situation.

btw @SkMeena just signed, lets hope for more joiners ✌️

@greenyx No offense, but TBATE is not so special that it'll get rebooted when the anime has only just started. Terrible adaptations of great materials have happened several times before. Tokyo Ghoul, Berserk (as you mentioned), The Promised Neverland, Classroom of the Elite. And TBATE isn't as popular as more prominent isekais like Re:ZERO, Tensura, Mushoku, or KonoSuba in Japan. It's wildly optimistic to think the Japanese are gonna listen to a bunch of foreigners who got angry because they didn't get the adaptation they deserve when TBATE isn't the first to get this treatment and certainly won't be the last.

Damn 32k? That's actually impressive

@SgtRohn In fact many anime productions have done horrible jobs, but The begging after the end deserved better, in the productions you listed at least these had a 1 season that was engaging or entertaining like Tokyo ghoul, the promised neverland, classroom of the elite... even Berserk from the 90s wasn't that bad. TBATE instead isn't even getting that, its reputation is basically ruined

I'm just sad there's so many buthurt people complaining so it probably won't get a season 2. the animation is alright, it is limited motion, but it does not distract from the story unless you specifically look for reasons to be distracted from the story. limited motion has been used in anime since forever. anime has never been about best in class animation, it has been about a faithful telling of the story with decent, mid animation (hence animation is usually 12fps instead of 24fps like in the west)

besides that, sometimes we also get awesome sakuga moments, and sometimes we get awesome sakuga entire anime or movies, but that's not the norm. the norm is just mid animation, with the most amazing stories in the world. that's the majority of naruto, and the majority of one piece

if you actually stop & watch other anime made by A-Cat studio, you'll realise that the animation is alright, they do a pretty standard job for anime, and given the studio and the other anime they made in the past, there is obviously significant extra effort allocated to TBATE, and I'm greatful for that. I would enjoy it no problem if the entire story of TBATE were animated by A-Cat in this style.

there is one more thing I would like to add, think about it. if we had the best, perfect anime right now, there would be no more room for a remake later down the line

So, you actually believe people complaining in English speaking forums have some kind of effect on what anime studios will make.

So did y'all watch the third episode or nah. They did do better, it's almost like a small studio needs to allot budget accordingly. Also if you think this is PowerPoint how did y'all view Way of the Househusband bc THAT IS POWERPOINT. Y'all bitches are so whiny and entitled. The creator is out here begging y'all to stop being brats and here y'all are, pissing in their face. Big yikes

Can y'all shut up, please?

to all y'all having temper tantrums in here, I just want y'all to know: the Japanese audiences have places this series in their top 10 lists on the platforms it is streaming on. BECAUSE the story is worth it and the animation really isn't that fucking bad.

stop crying and slamming your fists on the floor because it's not solo leveling.

because it's not fuckin solo leveling. y'all are children who clearly have never seen how series that involve any kind of power fantasy end up animated. most of the time? much worse! there's also several series with potentially better stories (at least, for example, when it comes to solo leveling in that they're not power fantasy RPG crawling essentially) that have gotten just shit adaptation, both animated and comic form.

also, like. respect the creator for wanting a hand in their series? most anime adapt manga/manhwa/manhua and those? are more often than not a repacked retelling of a novel, often without much input from the original writer! at least, absolutely not as much as the novel had. I've read notes from LN where the author talks about how it's interesting the way the manga is going, and seeing their story in a different light. meaning, for those who are unable to exercise media literacy, that they aren't the one in charge! and if they aren't in charge of the comic, you can be sure they're not in command of the anime.

tldr; the eastern world thinks the anime is good and it's really just Americans crying

Stop being such a bitch

or maybe, just maybe, western fans have fucked up expectations to the point where if it doesn't look how they want, they call it shit. like. idk. western fans are fucking spoiled and it shows? it's why so many series slip through the cracks or never get sent overseas bc the people deciding what we get know the audience is a bunch of picky children

@Leon888 Sorry, but I don't see how TBATE is entitled to a better adaptation than the thousands other animes who get less than subpar adaptations of their source material. It isn't even that famous in Japan to begin with, otherwise they would've attracted other, more promising studios to adapt the source.

Every production has money involved in them, no matter how shitty the final product might be. They're not gonna listen to a bunch of nobodies in the West who aren't satisfied with the adaptation when the anime is already airing. This petition is not gonna go anywhere. Unfortunate as it is, you all will have to learn to accept that.

@leon888 cool story go touch grass I don't trust the opinion of idiots who like snk

bruh go huff your Nazi propaganda and get off my dick *shrug*

not even close. everyone is not, this is a small sample audience. the western fandom isn't even everyone, otherwise the eastern fandom wouldn't exist and as I've pointed out, there doesn't seem to be the same spoiled behavior that's making the author so distressed.

also this was posted a while ago, get a life and stop trying to cast necromancy

@eboygamergirl You must have a lot of problems to defend a trash anime like Tbate

@Leon888 this was almost a month ago get off my dick
