Groundless tomboy theory 21-02-23 06:18:39 No.18515[Reply]

Has anyone else been reading Groundless? it's a really interesting military themed manga, about a small island at war. It manly fallows a small city's militia team while fighting with the main island army against the Liberation Army. I'm only half way through but it seems to go back a forth from the different factions while focusing on the small militia. I think the depiction of the Liberation Army is interesting, it's very bare bones compared to everyone else but it's clearly suppose to be the revolutionary army. it also has a very real depiction of racism.

How does it compare to reminiscences of the Cuban revolution?

after reading all that's translated it's probably more comparable to the IRA. there main focus is independence from mainland control but again the manga's interesting because it doesn't really focus on them.

i'm going to analysis the Liberation army in this manga cause like i said no one seems to be reading this thing. their main ideology was written you by the commanding leader Livinda Giovovich, it's very broad in terms of philosophy, if anything it's comparable to Egoism, i think it's just supposed to be a stand in for liberty which is pretty general. it feels like it's a bourgeois revolution, but none the less they are the resistance. their main problem is losing support from the public because all they say in response is "believe in the revolution", and that's not holding peoples merit. i like to think it's a comment on how leftist focus on revolution over other things. none the less the manga is not completely about them, it's about a small city vigilantly group and while they work for the mainland you get the feeling their caught in the middle. over all it's a underrated manga, and I hope more leftist would read it, cause i think there's alot to analysis.

I really love the WW2/in-between war aesthetic it has despite being a fictional world. sadly it's not fully translated and the scanlations are taking their precious time.

You see a lot of westerners saying shit like "Japan only acknowledges what happened to them, you'll never see any type of Japanese media talking about their crimes", but even Baki's Itagaki who's a big patriot acknowledges the rape of Nanking.
Garouden is mainstream, Kakugo no Susume is mainstream, Yokoyama's Mars is mainstream.
When's the last time a MCU movie talked about US war crimes?

Here's my suggestion. Start a thread: "Understanding Japan" and just focus on answering other people's questions about the country and explaining what you see. Part of the description might be "you have to live in Japan to understand Japan."

It doesn't matter if Murayama made a statement several decades ago if the more recent Prime Ministers like Shinzo Abe go out publicly and say that there was no such thing a forced prostitution, that its somehow not clear if Japan was an aggressor in WWII, etc.

Monogatari is good fun because the conversations are interesting and quirky in a good way.
Compare that with something like Lucky Star where the chatting is an absolute chore that drags for far too long.

Between people calling Cyberpunk Edgerunners an "American anime" despite being a collab between a Polish & Japanese studio, & people assuming that Lies of P is "western" despite being a Korean game, it's safe to say that people only view media as either being American or Japanese.
I've seen people get really into Chinese Donghua. China has its own animation industry with a lot of talented people over there, yet for some reason people insist on using a Japanese word to describe their output, which will just make people assume it's from Japan.

>>21702
It's Fox Spirit Matchmaker or Huyao Xiao Hongnian. I have seen almost all translated seasons and it's the complete opposite of coomer shit. In fact, it's the lack of fanservice that makes it different from typical anime. It's a shonen style romcom, but instead of story arcs with fighting, it's about the titular Matchmakers trying to reconnect spirits and their reincarnated human lovers. Most arcs are clearly inpsired by tradtional Chinese folktales like Buttefly Lovers and Legend of the White Snake.

Ok, so the first episode was filler/previous season recapitulation. The first fight of the season is going to be Wakatsiku vs Julius. Been years since I read the manga, so completely forgot what the order was. And briefly checking episode titles, yes, Kiryu fight is in a middle of a season.
The opening is pure buttrock excellence, its like watching bad AMV, missing only fraps logo and spanish subtitles.

I just watched Kiryu vs Kuroki episode. Disappointing I must say. 3DCG works really well for most of the fights, makes them look dynamic, fluid. But Kiryus fighting style specifically is heavily stylized in manga, and CG animation just fails to translate it.
Anyway, there was this youtuber who used to make Kengan MMVs, his channel is deleted but luckily all of the videos are archived, and his video does make the fight justice.
