This show's conclusion still baffles me.

Organize the Lux proletariat against the Class before it's too late.

Does anyone have a Marxist or Deleuzian analysis of this. Am I going insane or is the city called Lukács, the two groups (body without)Organ and Lacan? Constant reference to The Spectacle? The Class? Everyone is losing body parts to technology? Something about will to power?

There seems to be something there but I'm not quite grasping it and all I can find directly about the show are reddit teenagers saying nihilism = meaningless.

> In paragraph 13 of Beyond Good and Evil (1973), he remarks that we should beware of superfluous teleological principles such as the drive to self-preservation. His own principle is more general, encompassing the drive to self-preservation but also the drive to self-destruction or self-overcoming: A living thing desires above all to vent its strength—life as such is will to power—self-preservation is only one of the indirect and most frequent consequences of it’

>Deleuze comments that ‘Nietzsche criticises Darwin for interpreting evolution and chance within evolution in an entirely reactive way. He admires Lamarck because Lamarck foretold the existence of a truly active plastic force, primary in relation to adaptations: a force of metamorphosis

>Roughly forty-five years after this compelling, if heavy-handed, Marxist critique, Deleuze and Guattari appropriate a crucial concept from Worringer's life-philosophically inflected writing, namely, "inorganic life," in order to theorize the resistance to global capitalism. Through a close reading of Worringer, I pose the following critical question: How can a concept that was once condemned from a Marxist perspective as an ideologically suspect "flight from realiPost too long.

Have Yoshi survive and succeed in starting a civil war, which ends with a faction winning and holding complete control over the city. In order to maintain power and prevent another war, they keep a powerful military force, which is what they will use to defend against the Class and eventually invande and settle the surface. The revitalized people of Lux replace the stagnant people of the surface (who will probably upload themselves into a virtual world or something as a response) and civilization resumes its evolution. From watching this show twice, this is what I gather Yoshi's ultimate plan was, given that he knew the conditions of the surface people, the Class and Lux.

As the ending of the show stands, the robot-tree-people might or might not evolve into full cyborgs and eventually go to the surface. The blue-haired guy was crazy and seemed to have only intended to destroy everything, but then why make the robots and his own feet grow roots when the fighting was over? Maybe he really wanted throw the fate of humanity wholly to evolution, whatever evolution might look like for robots with human heads and roots.

The second season was announced a few weeks after I finished watching the first one and I was pretty excited because I loved DtB despite its flaws. But what I got was a fucking mess and the last episode aired on 24th or 25th December and it ruined my Christmas that year. The gaiden episodes were ok but they still left a bitter taste in my mouth.
It took me years to get over my hatred for Bones.

>>875
How did they get away with it?

>>876
No idea, I heard it sold well but apparently not well enough for a third season.
It's either that or nobody wanted to continue because they wrote themselves into a corner. A few years ago there was a small party to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first series, people were kinda hyped for an announcement but it was basically "we can confirm we won't continue it lol".
What a shame.

>>877
In retrospect I think Darker Than Black was basically the Lost of anime. When they started they had no idea how it was supposed to end and then they just pulled a bunch of mystery box stuff out of their ass.

What happened at the end of season two anyways

>>841
Red Herring for Evangelion is awesome, using pure soviet aesthetic and music

Low Budget Clannad OP played on a Kalimba.

Are you Miku?

>super unpopular in Japan
no fucking way,it's at the same level at JoJo,it's one of the fifth best selling manga series of all time (or it was at least,not even 2 years ago)
The "gaijin intellectual" would tell you it's because it can't go to the level of detail as the manga.
The reality is probably a mix of the license falling onto the wrong hands and shitty legal framework making it impossible to stop (like what happened with OPM season 2),money and contract being signed primarily by the editors instead of Miura who probably just want to do his shit and not participate that much in the adaptation (maybe I'm ABSOLUTELY WRONG on that tho) and the terrible state of the animation industry,of how the workforce has to work,and capitalism in general.

I meant over Berserk's ENTIRE history. Like, what is it about Berserk that has made it such a pariah for adaptations, even if it's so influential?

Even the first anime, earnest as it was, was made on a shoestring compared to others of the period, and halted a couple dozen chapters behind the manga.

>>936
It made him release a chapter.

Berserk thread on hobby might get moved here. Repost some of these posts there when it arrives.

Shinji is the most underrated MC ever, I don't get why brainlets always shit on him. He's unironically ultrabased. Dude got a spike through his head and impaled through his stomach in the first two fights but he stills keeps going despite it to protect the people he cares about. Fucking chad

It probably exists even if just as a function of the gargantuan amount of eva fanfic.

>>2052
People shit on him and other good shit because they are manchildren that started watching anime instead of American cape shit.

>>2057
Probably since there is another set of images with this idea. Does anyone explicitly know such fanfics?

>>2052
>>2074
Well I don't think he's ultrabased, but surely he's decent. And yes, the amount of hate he gets sometimes is absurd. You have people on the right calling him a pussy, and people on the left calling him a misogynist.

Lmao there's people who still give a shit about jojolion?

I'm like 3 chapters behind rn, hang on

Ok I'm caught up.
Not gonna lie I was laughing my ass off at some of that Rock Human history/worldbuilding shit.
I guess they'll figure out a way to beat 'Wonder of U.'
I don't know where it really goes from there.
I think Araki forgot about momma Higashikata and she doesn't actually have secret conspiratorial plot relevance, cause it seems like Tooru and Joubin/Momgashikata woul be diametrically opposed,
assuming Momgashikata and Joubin are actually on the same team and Araki didn't forgot about her like so many other characters this part.
Anyhow, I think this fight is honestly shaping up to be super cool, but I feel as if Jojolion hasn't been particularly compelling as a whole for quite some time.

I'm going to boil that egg.

>>2112
I'd break that egg and drown the bish.

I would definitely hug Reimu honestly.

>>837
I don't feel that way towards them. At most, Yuugi is probably the one that I'm closest to being attracted to. Rinnosuke, though…

The queen of the asspull.

>>2045
That's Tohsaka Rin from F/SN isn't it? I don't think that's a 2hu.
