Genuinely one of the worst shonen protagonists of all time. 430 chapter long story, and he gets 0 characters growth. And its not like Horikoshi cant write, other characters, including completely irrelevant members of supporting cast, got an arc, while Midoriya stays in the exact same place for the entire run of the manga.

Did they address the quirk discrimination or did they just go with the 'le big bad guy was defeated, everything is good now' trope?

Was this joke really THAT funny? I do admit it takes a lot more intelligence to even came up with the setup for it that Matt and Trey posess on an average day, but is it really very funny? I didn't laugh at it, but that's maybe because I am not burger and would never "get it what it means to hear this word!"

>What are those?
Adult action cartoons. Like, actually adult. They mostly rely on gore to bump up their rating but otherwise they're not that different from more mature Saturday morning cartoons, with Primal having no dialogue and Invincible barely having vulgar humor and swearing, not enough to get on your nerves and be obnoxious (it's action drama though, not comedy). I'd also recommend Lastman, which is about as vulgar as Invincible is but it's French so it means it's twice as funny. And we also have Samurai Jack season 5.

I'll also take an opportunity to shill Invincible Fight Girl, which was originally planned to launch on CN but it's on Adult Swim now so… it can be considered an adult cartoon… kinda?

>>26266
Those aren't really adult cartoons then
IMO, kids cartoons tend to have more depth and peculiar designs compared to adult cartoons.
I mean seriously.

Adults cartoons often have to rely on satire or parody of kids cartoons to have any relevancy.

>>26267
>Those aren't really adult cartoons then
Excuse me, what?

Yeah, I was talking in the other thread about how shounen is not a genre and yet you're making the same mistake, mistaking the demographic for the genre. Just because adult action cartoons and seinen anime don't have swearing and full-frontal nudity every 2 seconds doesn't make them not adult, the marketing and the explicit content do. What you're referring to is "animated shock comedy." Which is unfortunately what most adult cartoons are, but it's not the rule. Just like not all shounen is action comedy, not all adult cartoons are shock comedy.

Maybe it's because I'm not American but I never understood the appeal of South Park.

I remember marathoning the whole show up until the latest season at the time, this was about 10 years ago or more.

The one time I actually laughed, ONE TIME IN THE ENTIRE MARATHON, is Cartman swearing at Mr. Garrison with a megaphone ("I said, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUCK MY BALLS, Mr. Garrison"), and only because of the context of Mr. Garrison being gay + Cartman randomly pulling out a megaphone.
Okay, the ending of the World of Warcraft episode ("what do you mean? Now we can finally play the game") got a chuckle out of me too.

>>26358
imo it's kind of like Seinfeld in how at the time what it was doing really shifted the landscape, but now 30 years later what made it unique has disseminated through the genre and it doesn't look like anything special anymore.

I was watching the classic seasons of the Simpsons with my girlfriend recently, who is a good decade younger than me. She was kind of mystified by it and didn't understand why Homer is SUCH an asshole especially early on, and I had to explain the media and culture it was responding to at the time to give the show the sort of character it had.

Tbh I remember SP as being kind of the same in that regard. It caused a BIG social reaction with its violence, language, and subject matter. There was a big moral panic about it especially since it was a cartoon, kids watching it, adults freaking out about it, the whole magilla. Nowadays the early seasons of SP probably look pretty tame compared to something like Rick and Morty.

Is night on the galactic railroad communist? it feels like it has almost a cosmist vibe to it. The afterlife is shown as a paradise in both the book and the anime where people can just think of stuff, and it materializes, everything is in the same language, and the purpose of man is to serve each other.

The new Gundam is out and it's very okay/10.

>Pros
Animation is generally good
Fights generally good
Some people have likened it to a Gundam themed horror/slasher which it does kinda pull off
Universal Century Best Century
Surprise appearance by that guy from 08th team
Classic Gundam anti war themes

<Cons
Too short to really develop those themes or characters.
Animation on humans looks kinda wonky sometimes
There's little interaction between the zeon pilot and the Gundam pilot which makes the ending kind of weird and forced.
Overall doesn't really add anything to the Gundam universe and doesn't really feel like it's a story that needed telling

I really liked Requiem for Vengance. It was exciting and I watched it all one morning before work. To be honest I struggle to watch modern anime these days because I think its mostly really boring and doesn't do anything interesting and I especially hate all the fantasy shlock coming out. I've only been watching older stuff, so this was a bit of a breath of fresh air to me as a modern anime with actually good characters and stakes that matter, in a world I am very invested in. I don't think most people will share this opinion though, like you think its mid. I think it was exceptional.

>>26088
I disagree with your assessment but I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway.

As you said, it felt unnecessary, it doesn’t ruin anything but it doesn’t add anything either.

>>26294
It felt like it got cut down from a much bigger premise or something. Like if the elements of it had time to grow then it would feel like a proper Gundam story, but as it is everything feels too abbreviated to be impactful.

Honestly the opening scene still bothers me. Like the Zeons are just marching in column right into a trap. No scouts? No aerial reconnaissance? Nothing??? Like I'm sure there's a bunch of ways to headcanon to make it fit but it just seems like them being idiots for no reason.

>>26086
I watched it recently, okay/10 is about how I felt.

Cool visuals, neat retro "grungy" 90s Gundam OVA feel, some solid fights and art design, story and characters were meh.

I've been becoming kind of an Ayane fanboy as of late, and I've been trying to think of what about her work tickles me. This is off the heels of binge reading the available usachanGET backlog as well, and I think an element missing from a lot of male author work is a sense of physicality in the female subject being depicted. There's a sense that things are primarily done unto her without true reciprocation that takes down how enrapturing the scene otherwise could be and I think its source is a lack of body afforded to males in the work. There's a lot of focus on the flesh of the woman that renders the male cardboard with a penis that can occasionally scratch the itch of what I believe drawn pornography's purpose is, purposeful simulacra of the psychological dimension of pornography without need to find actors that can actually Act.
This is of course coming from a distinctly non-homosexual malesub-adjacent perspective however, so maybe I'm too deep in a particular burrowto see that there's some kind of alternate position I'm missing. And of course this isn't a put down of work that I don't think lives up to this potential, it's just a note about representation of embodied experience through the depiction of sex as rendered by freaky ass Japanese uyghas. And I haven't even touched on the seeming lack of this dimension in Yuri, which I think there's a lot you can say about.

I suppose this is gonna be a reminder, but SPOILER YOUR IMAGES, I sure didn't remember to the first time I made this post.

I think 86 is complete garbage. I started watching it because I like mecha anime and it has a good rating on My Anime List. First off I could not finish this anime, I only got four episodes in before I dropped it. I like the ideas behind it but the plot makes absolutely no sense, I know in mechas there is a suspension of disbelief to watch it but this show asks you to completely turn your brain off and I can't. And this completely gets in my way of enjoying this show, which is a bummer because I like some of the ideas of this show and want continue watching it but I can't because of the plot holes. The plot is essentially their this country who is at war with another country and because of racism chooses to have all the "Aryan" citizens stripped of their citizenship and forced to fight on the front lines. But if you think about this its incredibly stupid because whats to say these people refuse to fight and march on the capital demanding the "Aryans" also fight along side of them? They have the military training and mechs to do so and the government would have to do something or risk getting destroyed by the enemy. This makes the themes about racism feel a lot more hollow because it makes those oppressed groups look like willing participants in their oppression which is not something I should be thinking about in a story about how racism is bad. Now because this plot hole took me out the story the others which in better written one would normally not take me out started doing so. Like in the second episode it is revealed that the enemy robots are all autonomous and have gone rogue. Why does the government launch several EMP's to destroy them? I then started thinking about real life militaries and how the United States uses drones, then been controlled by a person several thousands miles away. This is way better because it saves both the pilots life and the skill he gains from experience. Which the government in this anime clearly doesn't value even though it should because they should want to win the war. Overall the guy who lite-novel this anime is based on clearly didn't give a shit about the plot and I in response don't care about this story either. If you can ignore the plot I would suggest checking it out because it has some interesting ideas. But if your like me and you demand the bare minimum when it comes to logic of the plot, avoid this show like this plague because it will hurt your brain. This anime's plot is Star Wars prequel's level of not maPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Watching Geass now its a lot better than 86. But do Japanese people have this bug of a hate boner for British people.

>>22666
Yeah just finished it. Code Geass is one my favorite animes of all time now. Lelouch Lamperouge is literally the best written character.

>whats to say these people refuse to fight and march on the capital
One of the few things it establishes well is the structure of the military being dictated by the current state of technology.
The Republican mechs are explicitly made for mass production above all other concerns.
The "Para-RAID link" is the centerpiece of their war communications network and their only technology equal to the empire. There is also "laser communications", which likely requires extensive infrastructure at the transmitter's side.
If an 86 force were to rebel, it would either have to rely solely on local comms or potentially improvise long-range radio, that would be vulnerable to Republican snooping.
>>22653
Agreed. S2 is obvious dogshit, although the child character actually acts like a child as opposed to a loli and is imo never sexualized beyond plain moe.

Last time I posted this leftypol server went down (and my post was not saved, sad!) but truth must be told lol

I completely disagree with all the 86 bashing!

86 is literally the current war in the Ukraine, this anime is very prophetic!

>Capital resembles Moscow's boulevards
>Most of the population is unaware of what is going on and regard it as some minor far away conflict
>Claims of 0 casualites, painting alternative reality of events
>Other ridiculous, militarily inept propagandistic statements
>In reality the regime uses poor and "undesirable people" (Russia has mobilized a lot of people from Donbass much before the first very weak partial mobilization was announced, basically treating locals there as second class citizens who must be mobilized first - not to mention using local population to fight for themselves with limited assistance since 2014 to not upset precious American pardners)
>Military leadership is absolutely incompetent and is incapable of achieving decisive victory, relying on aimlessly wasting human lives instead

I agree with your point, but I don’t think this only applies to russia. The whole “sending second class citizens to war” is a common part of societies in the age of capitalism, minority groups are over represented in US military for example.

I'm not trying to start anything or get into any kid of idpol argument.

I'm just wondering why so many anime, many of which never receives a release outside of Japan, and takes place in Japan, is filled with characters who are obviously not Japanese.

Picrel, with a redhaired green-eyed character and a blue-eyed blonde, in the anime, both are native Japanese. They also have big noses like Caucasians.

What's going on here?

euro race scientists thought it would be funny if we call white people caucasian since at the time they figures europeans come from the caucasus, hence caucasian.

this is the same stuff that makes jews and arabs technically able to call each other anti-semetic. it's old race science bullshit lingo that's still alive for some reason

Because a lot of people would look the same. Read claymore if you want an example of this being a problem, all the girls have the same hair color and general look and it can get confusing. I don't think it's really meant to be caucasian but more so just japanese people with nordic hair/eyes. They still have japanese names and shit

this. Nost Western aination celebrates awkwardnes and snark far too much.
Anime allows characters to be funny and quirky without being compleely toxc and over-comical.


Imagine if Naruto was written by Western authors.
It would be more South Park with ninja aesthetics.

>Nost Western aination celebrates awkwardnes and snark far too much.

We have Brian Micheal Bendis and Joss Whedon to thank for writing being stuck up its own ass.

Great show, watched it as a teenager. I've really been wanting to go back and rewatch it over the last month. I haven't watched that many shows, the only one I can think of that I might have liked more than FMA:B is Violet Evergarden, that shit made me a sobbing mess. But this has great action, I remember loving the story.
