I don't see any ironic racism though, unless you have a weird definition of the word "ironic"

edit: To clarify, if it were ironic racism, the joke would be that it is racist and therefore not actually racist because it's just a joke. But only shitheads in GBS do that, I'm not seeing that here.

Racism is like pooping well all do it and there's no need to call anyone out on it unless it's particularly foul.

Maybe if you're talking about the lovely Mad TV sketches about blaxploition movies, but Black Dynamite is actually a great love letter to the genre. You have to actually be familiar with the genre to get half the jokes.

Idk if anyone has watched that games trailer, but it's clearly not well done or thought out blacksploitation. Very much the "lol black people" kind.

It also contains zero Funk despite its title.

Seems pretty cool to me. I was curious about the artist and took a look at his website, that man really loves Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill.

There's more to Persona (or at least Persona's intros) than simply being anime, and it's that sense of style this Vita game is trying and failing to copy.

Taking a deeper look at the work of that guy doing the art for Net High, he's actually a pretty good artist. His Kill la Kill fanart is of very high quality and I recommend viewing it.

Lanky Kong has more style than Persona, so failing to achieve that is a good thing no?

Unless for some reason you think as generic anime as you can get is style.

they are done very well yes. But a good artist doesn't mean the style is good or unique.

Persona and most SMT character designs in general have kind of a unique style actually. Mostly present in the faces. And the general aesthetics of the games look nice.

I personally have no problem with Twitter Follower RPG copying that style, because it also looks quite nice.

The "style" of the Persona games extends far beyond the character designs being good or bad or anything at all; IMO the more interesting designwork goes into things like the important personas (for example the Japanese pantheon in 4) which are all highly interpretive versions of mythological figures, and the radical UIs that are a hundred times slicker than the boring, designed-by-committee menus most games have now where fonts are selected for maximum cellphone legibility and colors to cause minimal eyestrain rather than for, you know, artistic or stylistic reasons

That trailer is really clearly mimicking the style of Persona 3 and 4

A bulimia website did some photoshops to make vg characters look like average build people, they were mostly innocuous except they made a couple weird character choices, like 90s lara croft. There's one of rikku from FF10 that is a little ridiculous though, that one is kind of silly

mostly what i've been witnessing as reaction from the internet is justification for wanting to jerk off to hot video game babes (not even anime ones)
