When the Megumi Ishitani situaiton developed. She had all the right to defend herself against false attribution to her and misconstructions of her statements.
Vincent said that Toei folks aren't biased like that in his discussion with Brago
But genuinely.. How could anyone reading the S-Shark v Sanji interactions in the manga and conclude sanji was on the back foot against him.. Let alone miserable enough to get flung across the area.
X is alight with discussion between fans on both ends regarding the recent interview Brago had with Vincent. Opponents to the fans saying "sanji is getting negative portrayal in the anime and its problematic" say since SOMEHOW Toei just happens to give zoro more animations, like Vincent and his animating colleagues noticed without any particular reason why, it has to do with Zoro being a more narratively more important or having more important role which explains the imbalance in better scenes, which Vincent also theorizes. Proponents, also people who don't consider themselves as sanji fans, rightly counter that this is all due to Zoro being narrtively more important by calling out the argument as tangent and a strawman that deflects from the actual issue which isn't that sanji doesn't get better animation or who's more narratively important , that is a minor issue compared to the animators focusing and heavily animating scenes where sanji is.. Just not portrayed like he is in the manga, is either held back, and has his portrayal contradicted.. So lack of animation isn't the problem here.. . I'm sure it is mostly agreed upon if not a consensus that plot is relevant to the narrative , and as a combatant Sanji and Zoro are in the tick of combat every arc and are the most important combatants with their own respective label as Wings....narrative importance isn't the most sound point let alone a valid one. I doubt the fans would be as concerned about how good zoro gets animated if sanji wasn't treated this way.
The quesiton here is why is someone being being dragged behind in the anime given that (supposedly) there is no inherent bias against Sanji at play here.
I doubt Oda tells the anime directors to misrepresent his manga canon and give an impression that he hasn't portrayed through his story.
What does being in the ground floor mean..Basically the thread doesn't come under a thread category?
