This is an upcoming series with Japanese scripts, voice acting and Taiwanese hand puppets.
What do you think ?
the puppets
Interesting idea, but I can't avoid thinking of Team America: World Police while watching it.
There's something almost magical about those old Karakuri puppets, so I guess this is almost like a modern interpretation of them.
TAIWAN NO.1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of Thunderbirds, a similar series.
I remember Taiwan hav a wuxia puppet show. Their puppetry is pretty amazing.

What?
2spooky
2many cuts
I want to fuck that puppet.
>>15507795
If I controlled a puppet and did VA while another /jp/ fucks it, would that be considered gay?

Butcher is directing this show.

I thought he was just writing it
Kinda creepy

What's with you people who try to limit the range of topics on /jp/ as much as possible?
Do you just see it as a containment board that should die when inevitably there are no longer enough interested people to maintain a 2hu community?
Saw the first ep. It's actually quite nice. Most of the fast cuts are in the action scenes of course. Though it's confusing to me that they are speaking in Japanese while the subtitles gives them Chinese names so I'm not sure exactly where this world they're in is.

Some behind-the-scenes stuff about this show.

We already got kicked out from there. Hate to say it, but here we are. We are not here by choice, we would prefer to be in /a/. Lets get along.
I'm gonna give it a shot after I'm done watching 91 days, some gifs have sold me on it.

Hello I am the resident puppet otaku of /jp/
Japan has quite the history of puppet shows, both in old times and modern. You don't see much of it these days but a generation ago and in post-war Japan, puppet animation was quite common on TV.
If you are interested, I would recommend the work of Kihachiro Kawamoto, a famous Japanese puppet animator. You can get torrents of a collection of his short films from the usual anime torrent sites like bakabt.

I don't mind it. It seems pretty novel and at least it's not another idol general.
You're not going to turn this into an idol general based around a puppet group, are you? Don't lie to /jp/.

There is only a few female puppets. I think your main problem would be fujos shlicking to the male voice actors.

I love it. This show fills a Garo-shaped hole in my heart.
>>15514863
But the script and voice acting is apparently Japanese, right?
That's like saying modern anime isn't a part of Japanese otaku culture because it's all animated in Korea
I enjoyed the whole ep a lot more than I should have. Got me nostalgic of my TTRPG sessions about the Qing universe. I can say for sure I'm going to keep watching this.

I think the question would apply more for the original Taiwanese audio, where the female puppets are voiced by men.
>>15505865
I have Taiwanese friends and have visited Taiwan with them before so I was already aware of Taiwanese puppetry.
When I heard JP was doing a joint production I was immediately on board.
>>15514424
Thanks, do you know any good sources about Hoteigeki? It's the name for the taiwanese puppet performances that Pili is known for.
>>15514424
Thunderbolt is different though, it's not stop-motion like the stuff Kawamoto or Okamoto did.
When new episode.
>>15529045
In a couple of days.

>When new episode.
Friday night in Japan time. About 25 hours after this post.
Pretty good. It reminded me of those cheesy old martial arts shows that were re-dubbed and that's great.
Looks like /a/ lost another Thunderbolt Fantasy thread to a mod. Guess it is one particular mod that has a problem as it was up for a whole day yesterday.
>>15539275
That's great, could you keep your drama back on your home board or take it to /qa/ and not shit up this thread?
>>15539275
I was enjoying that too.
I guess puppets won't be accepted anywhere on 4chan.

It's not like I was interrupting anything, we are all just waiting for the new episode due in... a little over 10 hours?
>>15507721
Yeah, the amount of cuts is making me not want to watch it. It might be my association with more traditional puppet theater, but this is near-epileptic.
Second ep had less cuts.
Second ep didn't have enough cuts. I was almost able to comprehend what was happening.
>>15505865
Is there any place that I can get the original Chinese dub?
>>15546443
Why? You wanna hear one guy voice everybody? If anything, Japan improved upon it.
The feet from the OP is good.
