One thing that really boils blood for worldwide anime fans, aka “weebs”, is the modern Westernization of anime that’s taking over the Japanese art form. This has become more than just a simple annoyance since it even threatens to erase and replace the soul and spirit of anime, removing the very reason why we started to love this medium.
Unnecessary violence, prioritizing flashy effects over meaningful storytelling, all of these Western cinematography tropes have continued to disgust true anime fans. This isn’t just speculation anymore, examples of how several famous anime series were ruined in the hands of the West have been aplenty. Quite unsurprisingly, this recent anime announcement also does not do well in mending things between fans.
Did Anyone Really Want Megan Thee Stallion to Make an Anime?
One can sayMegan Thee Stallionis the new face of hip-hop, a dynamic rapper from Houston, Texas, who has been making waves in the music industry with her confident lyrics and infectious beats. With hits like “Hot Girl Summer” and “Body,” she has become quite popular for her unapologetic style and charismatic stage presence.

However, it seems Megan’s creative goals are much more than just a music career. Recently on Stationhead, she announced to her fans that she is working on something quite offbeat: her own anime series! Although her music career has become really good recently, she promised fans the anime is still in development.

This has brought a great deal of discussion among her loyal fans and other anime enthusiasts. Questions pop up about what could have exactly led her to create her own anime! Was there a need for a Megan Thee Stallion anime series, or is she really doing this because it interests her? Due to this insufficiency of information, the news has managed to create much talk, where some are anxiously waiting while others are raising their doubtful eyebrows.
Anime Fans Are Utterly Disappointed Upon Hearing This News
One can witness widespread skepticism on Twitter regarding this Megan Thee Stallion news. Many dismissed it saying they were utterly disappointed and didn’t believe it, while some even ridiculed it when responding to the announcement.

However, not all shared such negativity. Fans who always stood by Megan flocked in her defense. They seemed to be very keen on embracing her new venture with open arms. Some even went up to the point of predicting that her anime would be better than some anime series like Naruto and Baki!
Woohoo congratulations to Megan let’s go 💃🙌💯👏
It’s sure going to be better than Naruto and Baki
Whatever the mixed reaction to Megan’s anime series is, one thing is definite: when it comes out, the anime series will be the subject of intense skepticism. Hate comments are almost assured unless the series defies expectations and gets really innovative. Not many people believe there’s any possibility for it though. The history of Westernized anime adaptations has always been poor, so it’s quite natural to fear that Megan’s project would suffer the same fate as well.
