Onyx Equinox part II

I'd like to vote for anxious young girl.

Part 2 of the interview.

What was the general thought behind creating a show for a global audience?
• The challenge was creating characters the audience could see themselves in without having to over explain that character’s world and culture. They decided not to explain everything in order to make it all feel more natural. They want their audience to be curious and look into these cultures for themselves instead. They hope that this show inspires people to continue telling stories about Mesoamerican culture.

Is there anything fans should know going into the first episode?
• The attention to detail that the entire crew put into it has purpose. Everything means something, it may even be a pictogram or glyph, something to be translated. Mexican culture is very colorful and vibrant, all of the colors are very symbolic with each one having a completely different meaning.

Why do you think anime fans will like this show in particular?
• Most of the crew grew up watching anime or working on anime for their careers. It has challenged them in life and this show is allowing them to take inspiration from it and give back to it. They use the structure of shonen anime but subvert it and give it a fresh take to make the hero feel more modern and new.

I'll watch this show, but I don't think there's enough interest on Zig Forums to generate back to back threads. Not until we're closer to the release date.

I can’t say no to a shota protag, I like Izel

Definitely gonna give this a watch

And that's a good thing, many threads attract the trolls. Threads to discuss the episode of the week are fine.

i like the art style and appreciate storyboard user and on top of that i am a beaner and yet i still cannot find myself interested in this show

>Tezcatlipoca
Arrogant playfulness.
>K'in.
Fun energy.

Give it a three episode rule, if you aren't interested after the third episode, drop it.

>I'm going to do a longer breakdown of the recent #OnyxEquinox trailer and panels here when I get the chance, but a quick thing I noticed:

These shots, showing a rain of lights or flames from the sky, matches both how the third world in the Aztec Creation myth was destroyed...

>...as well as a few of the alleged omens Moctezuma II saw ahead of the arrival of Cortes (though these are likely post-conquest inventions to make the dominion of the Spanish seem divinely ordained, but they still may reflect Aztec prophetical conventions)

>Also, very intrerested in it being noted that there's going to be plenty of non Maya/Nahuan cultures featured. I already noticed some Zapotec stuff from the first trailer, but excited to see if we also get some Mixtec, Purepecha, Huastec, Totonac, etc

Seeing Tzintzuntzan in particular would be cool, I don't think I've ever seen a recreation of it!

Wonder if this series is gonna touch on all the blood and brutality present in the original story.
I mean that's a big part of why they believed they needed to spill blood and disembowel people to appease the sun (which is a combination of a crippled dwarf and some arrogant asshole), course that isn't mentioning the fates of the inhabitants of all the previous worlds as well as the creation of the world itself.

Woo looks fun, plus I can't remember the last time I saw something with a Mesoamerican background.

Well, MC's sister is going to be sacrificed in the first episode.

>El dorado.
>That anime that had a aztec/mayan setting.

Guess that shows how quickly people forgot about this shit, aside from waifufags of course

It is good? Last time I checked it was in hiatus limbo.

Of course they're portraying it as terrible, despite y'know being a normal part of their culture. Hell, some willingly participated in it

user, things can be a normal part of culture and also be thought of as terrible for other reasons.

No.

>despite y'know being a normal part of their culture
Don't think so, there had to be some people that got sad/angry when their loves one were sacrificed. In the sotry Izel is an orphan, so his loss has more weight to it.

Here is the link to the talk about the myths behind the show.

I only care about the cute brown boys.
Where the art at?

Sofia already has that chicano accent.

Pretty sure being used as a blood sacrifice was seen as a high honor among these people, even moreso if the circumstances behind it were dire. Maybe it depended on whichever god or devil you ended up being bled out for too, I don't know if they all require it. I know the giant caiman monster's corpse that makes up the world probably needs a good bit of it.

That's nice, but your dumb premise is the same as saying Christians never get sad when someone dies because it's a normal part of their culture and the reward is eternal paradise.

Nah you're thinking of Muslims m8

The death of a love one is always sad, user.

Sofia isn't used to give public spechess, she gets kind of shy.
