"Loli" Doing Fentanyl Gets an Anime by Netflix and MAPPA

[00:21] I I I'm trying to gather my thoughts. I

[00:23] I'm I'm trying to just

[00:28] They are actually unironically like we

[00:31] we got we just they are making an anime

[00:35] about

[00:37] drugs like just just that they're

[00:40] they're making

[00:42] literally the best way to summarize this

[00:45] is Moa blob lolly girls

[00:49] do fentanyl. That that's that's

[00:51] literally

[00:53] that is that that's that's literally

[00:55] what this is.

[00:58] Okay. Okay. We we we have finally

[01:01] reached the point where we're getting an

[01:05] anime about drugs and it's cutesy moa

[01:11] blob characters at that like

[01:15] bro.

[01:17] Oh,

[01:19] I I what what is the comment?

[01:25] Hey, I saw this,

[01:28] bro. It's

[01:34] what? Like, dude, this is the craziest

[01:38] anime announcement I think I have seen

[01:40] in a very long time. Like I think this

[01:44] is top three craziest anime

[01:46] announcements because unironically I I

[01:50] might get some heat for this take, but

[01:52] unironically this kind of looks good.

[01:55] Like it looks like something I will

[01:58] probably enjoy. So we we need to just we

[02:01] need to just address the elephant in the

[02:02] room here. Okay. So first off, this is

[02:04] being done by Studio Mappa. Yes, the

[02:07] Studio Mappa. the same studio that has

[02:10] made JJK, Jiu-Jitsu Kaisen, Attack on

[02:13] Titan's Final Season. They've done, you

[02:15] know, Hell's Paradise. They've done

[02:17] Chainsaw Man, the Chainsaw Man movie.

[02:20] You you get the point. They are um quite

[02:22] the animation studio. Regardless of your

[02:24] personal feelings about, let's say, the

[02:26] anime they do, or um your personal

[02:28] feelings about how they treat their

[02:30] employees, the point of the matter is is

[02:31] that Studio Mappa does make good anime.

[02:33] They do. Like, you you can't you can't

[02:35] deny that. They they make highquality

[02:37] projects that legitimately are the talk

[02:40] of the 2020s. Like everything that they

[02:42] pretty much have made for the 2020s has

[02:44] been a successful mass hit in from what

[02:47] I have seen. And so when I take a hard

[02:49] look at this just this anime adaptation,

[02:52] this feels like a weird middle ground

[02:55] between like mainstream anime fans and

[02:58] then like moa blob cutesy enjoyers of

[03:02] anime. And like let me let me explain

[03:04] how I arrived at this conclusion. So

[03:06] obviously this the the design of these

[03:08] characters just straight up they're moa

[03:10] blob. They are like the traditional

[03:12] cutesy moa blob like characters that you

[03:14] know you can see in a lot of comedy

[03:16] slice of life shows. And the fact that

[03:19] you have studio Mappa that is very well

[03:21] known for making hyperrealistic or

[03:23] trying to make realistic looking anime

[03:25] that's just you know very mature

[03:27] looking. I mean let's let's like let's

[03:28] look at Chainsaw Man or you know let's

[03:30] look at JJ K. Seeing them go into a Moa

[03:33] Blob adaptation is honestly it's a

[03:36] whiplash. Now, I'm not saying they

[03:37] haven't done stuff like this before.

[03:38] They've done some different projects in

[03:40] the past, but this one really just takes

[03:42] the cake because it's like it has a

[03:44] blend of the art style that a lot of

[03:46] traditional anime fans enjoy, but it

[03:49] also clearly has action and quite a an

[03:52] interesting topic. A very interesting

[03:54] topic that um I feel like uh is it's a

[03:58] dark topic actually. I I I feel like

[04:00] looking at this, this is probably going

[04:02] to be a very dark anime. Like the front

[04:05] appearance of this seems to be kind of

[04:07] just very funny or comedic and all that.

[04:10] Don't take it too seriously. And I could

[04:11] be wrong, maybe you shouldn't, but I

[04:13] feel like this is going to be like a

[04:16] kind of a very dark title kind of

[04:18] addressing just like the damage that

[04:20] stuff like fentanyl and stuff like that

[04:22] can do to people. And I mean, I'm all

[04:23] for that. I think there's nothing

[04:25] necessarily wrong with that, but it's

[04:26] just it's quite a quite a different

[04:28] anime. like it's not something I

[04:30] expected Studio Mappa to tackle, but

[04:33] here we are. Um, I will say though that

[04:37] first impressions of this, I'm not

[04:40] against it. I like I said, I know

[04:41] there's going to be a lot of people that

[04:43] are going to be like, "Oh no, what is

[04:45] this?" Like, "This just looks like like

[04:46] there's going to be propaganda and

[04:48] stuff." And maybe there might be, but

[04:49] the point is is that I don't really hate

[04:51] it. There's not anything about this so

[04:53] far I've seen that makes me want to

[04:55] outright hate it. I think it looks

[04:56] cutesy. I think it's probably going to

[04:58] be it's going to tell a very dark story.

[05:00] Probably going to have some funny

[05:01] moments as well. It's going to have some

[05:02] crazy animation. I mean, this sequence

[05:04] alone is just insane, by the way. Holy

[05:07] crap, that tongue detail, by the way.

[05:09] But, um, like it's Yeah, I I I feel like

[05:12] this is this is going to be interesting.

[05:13] I I'm excited, honestly, to see when

[05:15] this comes out because, uh, we don't

[05:17] necessarily know exactly when this is

[05:21] coming out. Like, it's a working title

[05:23] apparently, like Gimoto Psycho. So, we

[05:25] we don't know if it's going to air this

[05:28] year or next year. I'm going to assume

[05:30] by how these announcements work, we

[05:31] might get this maybe either at the end

[05:33] of this year or the beginning of next

[05:34] year. I could be wrong. This is Netflix,

[05:37] by the way, that announced it. So, it's

[05:39] it's entirely up to how Netflix wants to

[05:40] release schedule stuff. But yeah, I I

[05:42] kind of wanted to just take a few

[05:43] moments to talk about this because it's

[05:45] like, yeah, that title I'm not lying.

[05:47] That's a real title that it's it's not

[05:48] even clickbait. I mean, look what you

[05:50] see on screen. It's it's absolutely

[05:52] wild. So, I I'm interested to see. I

[05:55] feel like Mappa could tell a very mature

[05:56] story while also having some uplifting

[05:59] and comedic moments. So, let's let's

[06:00] just see how this goes. I will

[06:02] definitely be watching this with great

[06:04] interest in seeing, you know, when I I I

[06:06] don't know if we got a staff reveal or

[06:08] not yet. So, hopefully like when more

[06:10] information comes out about this, you

[06:12] know, or I might make a follow-up video

[06:13] tomorrow if I need to. If there's more

[06:14] information that comes out, I I will

[06:16] discuss it. But, uh, thank you so much

[06:17] for watching. May all of you have a

[06:19] fantastic day or night wherever you

[06:20] live. Be safe, stay healthy. She be out.
