I’ll watch it I know I am part of the problem.

whats the problem?

 

[red731]

What motion

 

[DiGiKerot]

Hm. Not sure which other shows they've done recently, but I seem to remember Log Horizon S2 was theirs and it had a few off model moments. Certainly they've improved since Fate.

Not seen The Reflection yet myself, but Rakugo was remarkably solid.

That being said, anything not being made for a television schedule is likely to come off better than TV work simply because they actually have time to do proper corrections on things.

 

[Pandora012]

The feels weird, but I'll give it a shot.

 

[Zaru]

Some producer: "So you're calling this show "Neo Yokio"?"
Ezra: "Yep"
Some producer: "Did you just slip from T to Y while typing that name"
Ezra: [pouts defiantly] "... No"

I'm pretty sure that's how it went

 

[4 is a cutie]

What motion

What? It looks like any other anime clip of characters talking

 

[Kaizer]

Ezra also posted a clip of the show. It looks better in motion

https://twitter.com/arze/status/905141569308704768

THE BRAND IS STRONG! Also, very heavy Boondocks vibe from that clip. Man, this is gonna be a weird thing to watch.

Exactly, talking.
I'm not saying it'll look bad, but before we can judge, we need to see movement. "Action".

 

[trembli0s]

The next FLCL? Sounds crazy enough to try at least

 

[StayDead]

This is probably the highest production cost voice cast outside of Japan and in a way it's kind of sad haha.

 

[depths20XX]

"Neo Yokio"

Sounds like something a 13 year old comes up with.

 

[NandoGip]

>Desus and Mero

I'm watching this day 1.

#brandisstrong

 

[MilkyJoe]

I'd never get tired of it...

 

[lazygecko]

whats the problem?

I know people like to dogpile on Jaden Smith for all the weird and nonsensical stuff he puts out. But he's simply doing the kind of art he wants and has the means to make it happen. More power to him, I say.

 

[crooked spin]

I think Neo Yokio is supposed to be a portmanteau of New York and Tokyo.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I honestly don't know what to think or expect from this

 

[Westbahnhof]

I think Neo Yokio is supposed to be a portmanteau of New York and Tokyo.

Oooooh... I preferred San Fransokyo.

 

[The Illiterati]

I honestly don't know what to think or expect from this

I don't think there's enough known about this to judge. It's certainly original. I can't tell if its action or comedy or both.

Good to see desus and mero branching out. Brand is on steroids

 

[Breads]

Those eyes aren't real.

 

[PSqueak]

"Neo Yokio", can't decide if it's better or worse than "San Fransokyo".

Also, today i learned there is something (a band?) called "Vampire Weekend".

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Wait... Desus and Mero are involved too? Yoooooooo

What?

 

[Fork on the Left]

Ezra Koenig is my dad. Will watch.

 

[titiklabingapat]

Make more music Instead, Ezra.

They are really good too.

[spindashing]

What?

They were both tagged in that conversation by Ezra and that braided character talking about brands sounds like Mero.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

This so random. I hope Will.. actually his whole family voices characters so we can say the Smith family is the most anime family ever.
Edit: That Twitter account following Susan Sarandon too. What is this cast? 0.o

 

[Veedot]

The main character looks straight out of a "How to draw manga" book

 

[Beowulf28]

Wait... Desus and Mero are involved too? Yoooooooo

THE BRAND IS BROLIC

 

[Shadic7700]

How can we watch anime when our eyes aren't real!

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

The stills look horrendously bad. It looks way better in motion, but still very cheap looking/Boondocks-esque.

Was kinda hoping it would have stupid high animation quality and art. The cast could totally fund it and make it work.

 

[Dead Prince]

Ezra also posted a clip of the show. It looks better in motion

https://twitter.com/arze/status/905141569308704768

token black guy looks better than the fake tanned black guy with purple hair.

 

[crooked spin]

Are there any Netflix funded animations that have high production values? Not really a priority as far as I've seen.

 

[Shadic7700]

I can assure you Woolie is very real!

 

[Mortemis]

AOTY brehs

I'm in

 

[Master Of Illusion]

LOL wut?

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Make more music Instead, Ezra.




They are really good too.

Making me wanna listen to that album again. It's been a while.

 

[Puruzi]

the fuck

 

[Baroquemantic]

Desus and Mero, you say? Guess I'll give this a chance.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Neo Yokio |OT| Brand is BROLIC

 

[darklin0]

Death Note set the bar pretty low. I'll give this a watch.

 

[blakep267]

token black guy looks better than the fake tanned black guy with purple hair.

But how are they token when they are the main cast

This so random. I hope Will.. actually his whole family voices characters so we can say the Smith family is the most anime family ever.

So far
Jaden smith
Jude law
Desus and mero

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Everthing else aside, that art does not inspire confidence.

Maybe for speed so not to spend 18 months on animation

 

[royalroyal]

How can I watch this if my eyes aren't real?

Woo this should have been the first post.

 

[4 is a cutie]

Yes, a live-action adaption set the bar low for cartoons

 

[duckroll]

They're making a much bigger push now in Japan: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1414563

(Obviously that does not include whatever horror this actual thing is)

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Looks like DeviantArt anime OCs, but I might just watch it for the absurdness that is Jaden Smith.

 

[SDBurton]

The next FLCL? Sounds crazy enough to try at least

Not even. lol

 

[BlastCore]

I want a Jaden Isekai series. Anywhere he goes won't be as crazy as him.
