/anime/ - Anime

A friend of mine(a feminist) recommend to me, In some ways I do think it's interesting insight,where it's a fascist vigilante story with a largely female audience
The series is called "Brutal: Confessions of a Homicide Investigator." It's about a police officer named Hiroki Dan who is a serial killer vigilante, the thing is unlike the vast majority of vigilante stories, the protagonist isn't a gruff middle-aged man who goes after mafia's(and maybe sometimes corrupt politicians) the hero instead is an attractive "perfect" male, whose wealthy(but still humble) and the people he murders are evil's that are a little more realistic, like a campus rape gang, a group of teenagers that harass people. a teacher who grooms a student, an abusive father but also stuff life a Journalist who harasses a family for stories and a youtuber who capitalises on tragedies, Interestingly, the implication is that the system is always too soft and inefficient and needs to be brutal.

I'm just thinking, when I was trying to watch a film I like with a non-anime fan I'd often put on Ghost in the Shell since I thought it's really highly rated and would be easy for a non-anime fan to watch. But this isn't the case, everyone I've watched it with hates it, which I find wierd since I think it's overall a really good film which is well known in normal film circles and is well regarded, and there isn't much of a reason to dislike it. I mean the artwork is 10/10, the setting is cool, the pacing is great, the action is exciting, its got good philosophical content and the ending is interesting. But non-anime fans who I watch it with hate it and I mean hate it with a passion and find it immensly boring even if they like live-action films with similar a similar tone or content.

So is it that the film has a lot of small anime quirks that throw non-weebs off? I mean I can't notice any but it might be the case. Maybe people don't like the dialogue but again this isn't something I understand. What do you think? Do you have similar experiences? I think its really interesting and I want to know more. I mean I'll put it out there that I love films in general but HATE stuff like Breaking Bad. Maybe I'm looking for different stuff or maybe its because I grew up with anime and I don't get thrown off with it.

Also, do you watch anime with random friends? I'm thinking of watching Patlabor 2 with my parents at Christmas since I think its right up their alley, but they didn't really like GitS so idk.

When you experience "more than the average person" you get a bit pretentious, and as you experience more you start losing that and enjoying way more things. Like look at peoples top anime. Lots of people at 50 series watched will talk to you about the beauty of Tatami Galaxy and what it says about our lives, and it's all true. But then you watch more and you can appreciate the simple cartoonish comedy of Milky Holmes.

Share your favourite ones preferably with Karaoke style subtitles to sing along with

Favourite anime related Youtubers? Why especially do you like them? Is there even a point in watching one of them?

Picrel and Pause and Select are definitely on of the better ones out there

Delinquents/yankii/banchou/sukeban are so fucking cool.

I wanted to get into delinquent manga from the 70s-80s starting with Sakigake!! Otokojuku. I torrented the whole manga's raws to practice my Japanese, as well, but I could never get around to reading it.
Likewise, even though it's not 2D (but it is adapted from manga) I torrented all of Sukeban Deka and could never watch more than 1 episode.
Unfortunately, I lost them both when my laptop broke.

Could you please recommend more delinquent stuff? Even if it's just one character in a series that's not about delinquents. If there's something like a rec chart that'd be pretty cool. If, not, we could make one.

How the FUCK is it possible that there’s no general thread for quite possibly the most well-written and even leftist-oriented Shounen serial of the 2000s?

Wanted to make a general because I been tearing up listening to shit like this

Best anime soundtrack ever imo, easily tops even Jojo’s

Why are ugly bastards so popular?

The highest form of Japanese experimental literature, it is a disruptive, subversive entry into the incestuous world of culture.
