The characters are well written, the storyline conveys a good slice of life story, the artstyle is beautiful and unique.
its funny when its meant to be, dark when its meant to be, overall it's one of the greatests shows I've watched in a long time.
And lastly, it has a fanbase that shares the same political views as me(excluding /co/ and 'cord).
What's /co/ about this thread? Have you ever seen how those go?
yeah and usually the OP asks the most random and basic satuff ever.
Made by a small studio and good quality. That's the biggest reason. I just like supporting indie creators. I also like seeing things that are made with foreign (or I suppose for them, domestic) audiences in mind. It gives things more of a charm than when a show is stripped entirely of its cultural identity to have wider international appeal. Might be why anime and East Asian media in general has been growing in popularity. It's uniquely Japanese/Asian and the culture is rarely stripped away. Even if it's not your thing, there's a novelty to that.
Characters were OK. I want more development. I'm curious how Mymy's character will develop. Does she embrace being a Dutch National, but ethnically Japanese? Does she go back to Japan? Can she even speak Japanese well enough to blend in? What causes her to despise being Japanese so much? Do Japanese people reject her as being "not truly Japanese" because she was adopted? (Very likely.) Did her biological parents hate her? Assuming nothing gets sanitized, Massa can take this in many interesting directions that would never happen in a "proper" network TV show. Mymy interests me to no end because it's an angle I've never seen taken seriously. Mymy's character is kind of caught in that limbo that mixed race kids like me are in, where we'll never be "White" or "Japanese." God forbid if you take it to Mymy's levels of coping, but she's a type of character I haven't really seen before and a type of person that definitely exists IRL. Just look at how common double-eyelid surgery is in Asian countries.
You’re talking as if mymy isn’t white. Also words words words
tsmt
So basically mymy is a reflection of nick fuentes or something
i like that slant eyed racist mymy, truly the goat of larping!
>[...] Mymy's character is kind of caught in that limbo that mixed race kids
She's the eastern equivalent of a weaboo, I don't know what kind of crazy headcanon are you making up
>like me
Yikes, just yikes
>where we'll never be "White" or "Japanese."
Massa has clearly shown that's she's treated as a larper, Maya on the other hand...
>Massa can take this in many interesting directions that would never happen in a "proper" network TV show
I think you should take a closer look at how Maya is treated when talking about race. To begin with she's always made fun of Mymy, the VOC larper, as being "Belgian", even though she's portrayed as a SEAmonkey living in some jungle. Coco and Vera also to her as a "Belgian", and Maya always tries to correct the situation by mentioning she's from Brabant (without denying her being "Belgian", she acknowledges that but at least she's from the Dutch half, right?). Am I the only one who sees the subtext here? Just replace everything said about Belgium, a political correct country to have some banter with as the Netherlands, with Indonesia, a country which I guess if you trash talk in the Netherlands will get you in trouble. There's zero change Massa explores anything regarding this topic albeit, simply because he's a pussy too scared of pissing off his national audience doe all of this does make me think he's at least a bit keyed as he lets the idea of Maya the "Belgian" never being treated as (a proper) Dutch linger without repercussion
tldr: Belgium -> Indonesia, now rewatch the show (this doesn't make much sense in deel 5, but still)
nigga maya isnt belgian, she literally from NORTHERN brabant the joke is that she is literally the only dutch person out of her two sisters.
>she literally from NORTHERN brabant
>Why? Because I said so
Interesting that Massa made her be from the least dutch province of Flemish Belgium, filled with Wallonians and mystery mutts from Brussels
nah bruv doesn't really make sense ngl you should rewatch the show
It's a schizo theory, it's not supposed to make sense to anyone but me
>you should rewatch the show
I should rewatch it more frequently tbh, it's been half a month since I last watched it
she actually is, that's the whole point of the thing
she was born and raised in Belgium, but tries to deny it by claiming she's from the dutch half of Brabant, which is implied is a lie. her voice actress reportedly has a very strong belgian accent too, which would confirm this.
Copium. Maya was born in the Netherlands, but in the south part of it («Brabant»). Her birthplace lies near Belgian-Dutch border (see official «dosje»), and actress's accent is a reference to Flamish dialect of Dutch rather then the Walloon dialect of French
the Brabant thing is a lie, even Vera outs her as a belgian
Because it is a bone-chilling, spine-tingling, genre-redefining thoughts-provoking dutch gem with no jumpscares. Also I want to have sex with Mymy.
Yeah...
I personally like watamote because the characters pretty cool and the writers were good at expressing emotion like ongezellig
the fan service shit was unnecessary though
Im currently reading watamote and am on around chapter 70. Does it get really bad later on?
