Kung Fu Cooking Girls Blends Food, Violence And Pretty Girls

This is all well and good, and kinda cool as well. But at the "8 minutes and 37 seconds of evidence that awesome anime isn't exclusive to Japan" i had to wander if Afro Samurai Counts. I mean, yes, the original story was done by a japanese man but...wasn't the anime done by a group outside Japan last i checked? If I'm wrong feel free to correct me but..just thought i'd point that out.

For future reference, THIS is Afro Samurai...Now if this doesn't count as awesome to you then, go see a therapist (Also, warning the following contains alot of violence..bla bla yadda yadda, don't watch if squemish etc etc):

Kung Fu Cooking Girls is 8 minutes and 37 seconds of evidence that awesome anime isn't exclusive to Japan.

I was struck by this odd premise alone. While I liked the short anime well enough, who thought the only country doing decent work was Japan? I've seen alot of good manga and anime coming from Korea and China/Taiwan. Over the last decade (or more) as the competition heated up to bring more material to USA comic buyers, publishers have been bringing over manga and anime from non-Japanese countries to fill the demand - especially the newer, smaller publishers trying to break into the American market.

Reminded me of FLCL in a way.

imo the animation is like a strange cross between samuri jack, flcl, and edd,ed and eddie.

You know, I think this is the first time anyone managed to sneak in some nudity in a video, and NOT get caught.

It was just some nip slip. Not a huge deal.

Does anyone else have a sudden craving for Chinese food?

Just saying what I was thinking, it all too rare for me to do that.

Lil bit of tit action there too, not often that gets through the censors, but its well placed.

Did anyone notice how their youtube name isn´t wolfsmoke but wolfsomke?

The fact this was made in China baffles me in so many ways...

How, in COMMUNIST China, did a film basically about capatalism even get made?

How did they make the best quality anime animation outside of a Hayao Miyazaki film in a countries who has such rampant piracy their been cases were actors were offered pirated versions OF THEIR OWN FILMS (happened to the new Bond with the Chinese release of Casino Royal).

How was it uploaded to Youtube when Google (owners of Youtube) isn't allowed in China?

China is Socialist/Capitalist.. Half their idealologies name has Capitalism in it.

I didn't know anime's did nipple slips . . .

 

[RanceJustice]

Excellent - I like that it was a rather unique art style and premise; an attempt to create something new as opposed to simply "knocking off" Japanese animation styles. I'd really like to see more, China coming into its own animation culture. Don't forget that China is "communist" in name only, its more of a system of ultra-capitalism free-market zero regulation business, provided you don't piss off government.

It was alright, but I personally think they were going overboard with the fanservice.

hmmmmmm definitely different, the drawing are kind of mehhh but the animation is nice and for a small studio its really good
