Soul is a meme word used by people that can't properly express why they like a certain artwork.
You simply prefer the anime aesthetic.

Stop opening dumb threads, retard.

I feel sorry that you lack soul to feel souls emanating from art

>>6687168
good writing

What exactly counts as japanese capeshit? The only ones who fully fit the bill are toku shows and My Hero Academia and the latter is directly based on western capeshit. Are Saint Seiya and Dragon Ball capeshit? What about magical girls anime like Sailor Moon? Do Doremi and Precure count as well?

asian genes

Great, another east vs west thread.

Couldn't agree more. Buzzwords like this just indicate someone who can't express what they like about a piece. It's the exact same as just saying "I like this better" which is irrelevant.

stop lying the PPG anime sucked massive ass compared to the original.

Ok /ic/, is this capeshit?

uoh

imagine what this board could do if 50% of it wasn't east vs west shit on repeat forever

but also it's because you like cute shit and moe stuff of girls meant for an adult male audience. the true essence and truth of moe is not fully realized in english speaking artist circles.

Soul flied away from "capes" at the end of the 80s, when kids stopped reading them, the moment where the genre should had just fucking die instead of being kept standing on with sticks
The whole (fake, but that's another topic) ideology behind American super heroes simply doesn't exist anymore, and they just repurposed its glamorous exterior to serve as infinitely exploitable husk that can be filled with anything.
Shit like my hero gay ass sure takes visual inspiration from America, but everything inside is extremely Japanese super heroes, something that have common roots with the USA ones, but are ultimately a different breed.
You could say that for their intrinsic viscerality and distance from the aforementioned American ideology, Japanese super heroes have more noticeable amount of "soul", but in the end they both are extremely tired horses, and both, even if in different amounts, have limped very far from their cultural roots whipped by their greedy owners.
There is nothing more removed from the all permitting, morally relative, haunted behind every digital corner by horrors beyond every kind of ethical social construct modern day than the archetype of the super hero.
One could argue, that's exactly why it's so fitting. But aren't the false idols of today already enough?
Is a laic saviour figure any different from the ones religion offers when they've been showed time and time again we'll less than sacred as they proclaim to be?

The only good thing to come out of it was the music and transformation sequence.

>>6687168
Cybersix counts as capeshit and it has soul. It's Argentinian. So by that logic it's just american capeshit that sucks ass

You're not allowed to draw giant sexy women in american comics anymore

That was animated by TMS and produced by some canucks. Most people who know this only remember it for the animated series which was heavily sanitized to the point of fanfiction.

Still more soul than amerislop

Well, it was fun in it's own right, but a massive downgrade action wise. Designs are just as good as the original, except for miss bellum.

>>6687168
it makes muh dik hard

>>6687451
Yes, but better

Chuck Dixon said it best. You can tell the people working on manga actually enjoy it and want to do it.
Meanwhile..
Everyone in the west is only making comics in hopes they get turned into adaptations. And when then they drop the series the moment they realize that won't happen.

The comics you've read were targeted at 12 year old or younger children and 30 year old or older adults.
