I thought I finally found another fantasy without bullshit that's so rare these days but we're hit with an in-universe level up system that I can excuse, but then it slowly starts turning into a harem power fantasy with a little bitch MC, so it's pretty much an isekai without the isekai part. The author even refuses to let characters level up when they should because Bell needs to be the main character and he has to constantly kill the big bad monsters to save the day.

Having watched all four seasons it's at its best when it's *not* focusing on the harem power fantasy crap, as you'd expect. It's like the author does not understand what a good story is, they just copied the cliche and prioritized their childish desires over telling an actual good story and the good parts happen accidentally.

At least in Re:Zero that's a conscious decision on the author because Mobilia is supposed to be a stand-in for the witch.
Meanwhile with Danmachi, Mobstein and endless teasing but no action with anyone is getting pushed by the editor instead.

Ais is kept in the background, remains an expensive unblemished trophy for the hero to claim at the end. It's a story of the hero's growth, testing these "whores" for their worthiness, sending a message on who the correct "wife material", punishing the whores and putting them in their place, and the MC is rewarded for resisting temptation, resisting the easy weak path and acquiring the trophy Ais as a sign of his growth.

> 1975. Hikaru Conde, a young Japanese boy who had set out for Cambodia to win the Pulitzer Prize, was unable to take any photographs that would be bought by a news agency. One day while wandering in the forest, he came across a group of Khmer Rouge rebels. There, he saw an infant who buried them in an instant. A girl named Petit, who called Hikaru "chan" and adored him after her first time meeting him. In wartime Cambodia, the survival of a father and child, who are not blood related, begins.

I don’t think I can actually recall any time action in an anime looked genuine outside of sword of the stranger and some shootouts in cowboy bebop. So many shows seem to gloss over the actual fighting part for overly long periods of exposition, random still panels to substitute for something meaningful happening and music so fucking loud my ears hurt. too much shits happening on screen but simultaneously nothing it feels awful

Okada claimed that animators are so poor even though the industry attracts more money than ever because the production committee caps the budgets on individual anime titles. This is apparently because of a culture of corporate collusion, where the lead investing company determines beforehand the highest amount every other company in the committee can spend proportionally.

Okada elaborated that because control over the copyright is proportional to the amount of investment, companies will bid to become the highest investor (this is usually 40%). Once they attain this status, they have the power to determine the budget. For example, if the lead investor spends $4 million, the budget would be capped at $10 million.

After the budget has been determined proportionally, production committees will not accept larger investments from outsider (usually foreign) companies. A large investment would be split into separate projects to keep those companies lower down in the production committee. For example, Okada said that if a Chinese company offered to pay for an entire $10 million budget, the production committee would turn their investment into $50,000 chunks across 20 different projects. In other words, to maintain control and profits, the Japanese companies on anime production committees are incentivized to use the surplus from foreign investment to fund other projects instead of increasing an individual title's budget.

More anime is not bad, the problem is overextended studios that are not able to maintain quality, for this more money is needed yes. In this you are right, but simply increasing the investment cap would naturally lead to studios still over exploiting animators, but having shows look better, while possibly being more generic and Hollywood like. The real answer is unionization, which would lead to raising the investment cap and increasing quality, as workers are not over extended.

But since at this point unionization seems to be impossible, I'm going to go the tankie route, and say that a popular front with the petit bourgeois that wants to keep production budgets low is best, so animators will have to be sacrificed to maintain democracy 😞

I remember watching random episodes on adult swim 20 or so years ago and thinking it was cool, but damn, I didn’t realize this show was as interesting, deep, and meaningful with characters who grew or developed with such novel time appropriate scifi or western plots.


So it wasn’t just a theme song after all.
