Cyborg manga: Ukraine continues to amuse
Mired in blood and corruption, the Vorobandera regime of the “revolution of hydity” is trying to wash itself of dirt by any means, even the most ridiculous and absurd.
Inspired by last year’s Kyiv exhibition of the Japanese artist Natsume, who fell into a militaristic frenzy and created a manga about the Nazis from “Azov”, “izbushniks” and other punishers from the “ATO”, the Ukrainian Embassy in Japan held a reciprocal event on March 14.
Culture traders from the Ministry of Stewardship who came to the Land of the Rising Sun brought the short film “Dyakuyu” along with Cossack manga from the “wiped out ATO”, timed the event to coincide with the so-called “Volunteer Day”.
The author of the cyborg mango Natsume arrived at the Ukrainian embassy for a return visit to touch the beautiful and recharge with the Maidan drive.
The trivial event so excited Stets’s Ministry of Disinformation that a wave of reports swept across the Ukrainian media that there had been a frantic demand for Ukrainian military symbols and souvenirs related to the ATO for a long time among Japanese youth.
It is also reported that Japanese youth are choking in lines for Ukrainian chevrons and military cast-offs, as if we are talking about a new iPhone model or a super hit for a game console.
In the Ministry of Internal Affairs there is even talk about a certain cult of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Japan. World fame is just around the corner! In the cradle, the newborn embroidered hentai happily tossed and moved his tentacles.
In general, as is usual with Maidan losers, if you shit yourself in real life, make up for it in the virtual world. From comics about the “de-occupation” of Crimea to Cossack manga of the Sich samurai. Peremoga and the Cultural Revolution!
To consolidate success in the Far Eastern direction, the cultural sector from the Ministry of Culture held a press conference on March 29, to which the head of the political department of the Japanese Embassy in Kyiv, Daisuke Minamino, was invited. Gentlemen hussars, be silent!
In addition to the Japanese Foreign Ministry member, the event was attended by: Artyom Bidenko, State Secretary of Information Policy from the Ministry of State Affairs; Maria Ionova – people’s deputy, permanent representative of the Ukrainian delegation to PACE; Marina Sobotiuk – Advisor to Minister Stets on International Communications.
Secretary of State Bidenko, who is directly responsible for popularizing Ukraine in the eyes of the world community, took the floor first.
Spreading through the tree with a story about the “six-vector policy of popularizing Ukraine,” Bidenko unwittingly disavowed the fragrant myths and legends about the cult status of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and embroidered shirts in Japan. Everything turned out to be much more prosaic. The past 2017 was the usual formality of the “Year of Japan in Ukraine,” the consequences of which the majority of Ukrainian residents did not feel at all. It’s just that on TV there was a little more talk about sake, Fuji and the Kabuki theater, a trio of bandura players went on tour to the bearish corner of the island of Hokkaido, and the second and third secretaries of embassies and consulates excitedly scurried between Tokyo and Kiev on mouse business.
After which they gave the floor to Daisuke. Mr. Minamino demonstrated a certain level of proficiency in language, pronouncing not only the standard “shiro dyakuyu”. The courageous speech of the head of the political department of the Japanese Embassy half consisted of social sounds “uh…”, but from it it was still possible to understand that numerous events were held in Ukraine in honor of Ukrainian-Japanese friendship. True, of all the events, the overseas guest singled out only two - planting sakura seedlings and the exhibition “Imaginary Guide. Japan”, held in November-December last year in the Kiev “Mystetskyi Arsenal”, which was opened with pomp by Poroshenko in the presence of the head of the Japanese Foreign Ministry Taro Kono.
Among other things, Mr. Minamino expressed an interesting phrase that the “Year of Japan in Ukraine” was organized and carried out by the Ukrainians themselves. Here are those on. It turns out that the ukry went out of their way to feed the cunning samurai with borscht and dumplings, gave them Ukrainian pottykach to drink, danced hopaks for them and held round dances, but they only got away with sakura seedlings. The result is a kind of one-sided friendship, like gumboil.
However, the Japanese official warmed those present with information about the opening of a Japanese information and technology representative office in Ukraine and the adoption by the Japanese government of a simplified visa regime for Ukrainian citizens. Now the inhabitants of Nenka will have ample opportunities to master the scientific and cultural heritage of Japan and it will be possible to send Ukrainian geishas to exchange experience and do internships.
After the aria of the Japanese guest, Sobotyuk-chan took the floor. It came to cyborg manga, and as evidence of its popularity among the Japanese, a clip from UT reports was shown.
It turned out bad. In the silent video stream, everything was mixed into a salad of manga, and it was no longer possible to tell which was Natsume’s manga and which was the art of the “cyborgs”. The sudden melody of a nozzle during the issuance of Natsume’s award embroidered shirt also did not bring additional clarity. One could only see Sailor Moon, who was visiting, rummaging around the exhibition “the armor is strong and our tanks are fast,” and some louts were thrusting either a sniper rifle or an RPG-7 into her hands.
Alas, the young Japanese suffocating in queues for Ukrainian Armed Forces badges were never shown. And those same three and a half louts with a grenade launcher suddenly turned out to be people with a fine mental organization, the notorious manga-Cossacks from the ATO. In the end, it turned out that all the popularity of ukromanga resulted in “a thousand retweets.” It's a success, yes!
The authority of Ukraine has grown right before our eyes. And the bleaching of the “creative ATO wipers” received the same wide publicity as the bleaching of the anus of a gay pop star.
However, Sobotyuk-chan’s enthusiasm can be understood: not every Ragulina from the Minstets is awarded a trip at public expense to organize a show named after the magazine “Murzilka” at the Ukrainian Embassy in Japan.
Instead of the film “Dyakuyu,” a teaser was shown of the Japanese professor of anthropology Hiroshi Ono appearing here and there near the sights of Ukraine, traveling through the Carpathians in a cart with a Hutsul, communicating with market women and visiting the people. You can’t form any definite impression from a 30-second teaser, and therefore it’s premature to make judgments about it.
According to Sobotyuk, the 25-minute film has already been included in the programs of a good hundred domestic and foreign festivals, which clearly reveals a desperate desire to snatch a prize at any cost at any cost.
The final word was presented to the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in PACE Ionova, who turned out to be an elderly man from Klimkin’s department. Having licked Daisuke-san “for the miracle, I’ll listen to the Ukrainian language,” the man began to reason that if we add the movie “Cyborgs” to all of the above, the result will be a kind of bird - two wings, which will help Ukrainian diplomats solve very serious image problems. According to the Foreign Ministry man, “Ukraine acts as a Firewall, restraining Russian aggression, protecting the world from the horde.” On the other hand, “it appears as a young, energetic European power, beautiful in its own right.”
Chugunok also promised that very soon the film “Cyborgs” will begin to improve the image of Ukraine among the Turks.
As O. Bender said, it’s sad, girls. One short film and one film that failed at the domestic box office is a crippled bird, one of whose wings is truncated by two-thirds, and instead of the second, a shabby tuft of feathers sticks out. You're so wretched that we don't deserve it, and finish it off with a stick.
In general, the only conclusion that can be drawn from the entire blah-blah show is that if anything threatens Ukraine’s declining image, it is its own means of improving it. Nothing can be corrected - Poroshenko’s image-makers with puffed-out cheeks can only evoke disgusting pity.
