What's your standard? Different countries have different political contexts, and most people in most countries are not socialists or concerned with economics at all besides which politician was in office when prices fell or rose.
Most major anime these days portrays war and prejudice as bad, female ambition and freedom as laudable, queer sexuality as normal. It may do so very clumsily or "problematically", especially for us Westerners, but those values are there, and if we're using reactionary in the vulgar sense (again, I don't think it makes sense to talk about economics or Marxism here because most people are not thinking in these terms), these are hardly reactionary positions.
Keep in mind that dorky harem slop made by 2ch posters is not really the mainstream. Even when it's occasionally popular, it's always eclipsed by fighting shonen, romance and sports manga.

I see Bleach creator and Fukuda, pretty prominent guys. Not surprised to see the kengan author on it, a lot of fighting sports mangaka are rw much like the irl counterparts

I feel like a lot of westoids forget quite how right wing Japan is.
Of the 465 seats in the House of Representatives, only 16 were held by progressive / leftist candidates in the JCP or Reiwa Shinsengumi.
The liberals in the CDP (Japanese equivalent to the US Democrats) have 172 seats.
Trump worshipping nationalists, ultranationalist and ethnonationalist parties have 277 seats between them.
In other words - liberals outnumber leftists 10 to 1. Right wing populist nationalists outnumber leftists almost 18 to 1.

Resultingly, a lot of their art is made by people who have questionable views. It's why pirating anime/manga is moral (except for the rare case of an actual leftist artist/studio).

Reiwa Shinsengumi just imploded, so forget them. The merging of the center-right Komeito with the center-left CDP has literally killed all of the main opposition parties leftists elements. The hard leftist CDP lawmakers, such as Yoshifu Arita were not welcomed in the new centrist party, so they are not running in this election this coming week. Now include the current drama blowing up everywhere, the leader of the CDP(now Centrist Reform Alliance) is being outed as being closely affiliated with the victory over communism unification church, going far deeper than any LDP member

The part where Abrams tanks got owned by jumpers equiped with RPGs was kino.

I liked it a lot. I enjoyed how they tried to explain how these cheap and plentiful machines were changing asymmetrical warfare worldwide. The kids learning to work as a unit while they learned to improve their machines was probably my favorite arc. I wish there was a sequel or just more anime focused on smaller, more mobile mecha, but I cant help but feel I am watching the slow decline of a genre. Maybe I am wrong though, as VOTOMS and Ghost in the Shell will be returning with new stuff this year.

Only thing I didn't like was the shitty frame rates but I think that's become pretty common in the cell shaded CGI times we live in.

it's liberalism vs fascism but you somehow end up rooting for the fascism

Reinhardt actually tried to help the people with public works/etc whenever he was in-between battles, so I'd say no.

>democracy is about friendship and everybody being equal
What the fuck? Can't the writers just go live in a democracy for one week to know what it's like?

It has a liberal lens, as one would expect, but the actual plot and the characters are compelling enough that you will like it. One of the best anime ever made and I say that unironically.

DIO???

It says January 16 in AmeriKKKa and that the same distributor has rights for it in the UKKK, so maybe if you are lucky they will screen it there too, but I couldn't find anything about that specifically. Worst case you will have to wait until it is released on BD or streaming so that someone can rip it and put it on nyaa.

Why is every adaptation of this so different from the light novel? The manga was pretty close I guess.

Just wait for the torrent. Its still a new release in USA/Canada, so it might be some time before someone uploads a rip

True, but people still get off to it, so it's nsfw.

patlabor 2 directed by oshii is a good movie. although, in typical japanese media fashion, it frustratingly avoids like the plague taking any sort of ideological stance, it does make an accurate assessment of the nature of the prosperity of the USA sphere of influence nations

Patlabor 2 is honestly my favorite mecha anime and my second-favorite oshii

It is, chaebol daughter gets bullied/assaulted and dies so the father adopts a north Korean girl who was experimented on and is super strong and uses her to get revenge on the bullies. At least 3 people have died so far. Its called Plaything I recommend it they really fuck up some of these people

Self-loathing? The irredeemably evil demons are pretty blatantly autism coded.

I've only seen the anime and not the manga so I can't say if this changes in the manga but the demons are different from a lot evil races I have seen in fantasy. I think the most obvious comparison would be to Tolkien's orcs. Orcs are a cruel, savage race full of hatred of all others including there own kind, they only stop killing each other when facing down a foe they hate even more. Now let's compare that with demon society in Frieren, the thing that keeps demon in order with each other is there mana level, when one demon meets another they instantly know who is the more powerful one and which is the weaker one and thus interaction will happen with both parties knowing where they stand with out the need of bloodshed. And this causes demon society to be hierarchy with the demons with the strongest mana to be on top, this is why someone suppressing there mana would unthinkable to them. Orcs have something similar but they only know who is the strongest through bloodshed.

Now with Orcs there is the question of their humanity. In the books they are mostly treated as fodder for the heros to kill through, but Tolkien gave them some humanity. First with their creation story that they were once elves then later men taken and twisted by Morgoth into these hate filled things. And yet they still have a sense of good and bad, when Gorbag in the Two Towers comments that abandoning a comrade to be an elvish trick, ie something bad. Even Tolkien says they were rational creatures, even if they were heavily corrupted. This caused a serious dilemma for Tolkien because if they were to be treated as fodder and slaughtered with out mercy you would be just as bad the orcs you oppose. And on the other hand if they are rational beings at heart, just heavily corrupted, that leaves the door open for mercy and even redemption.

Now with Frieren the demons are shown to have no emotion and half no understanding of human concepts of right and wrong. With the main character Frieren exposing to show them no mercy and calling for their extermination. They presented as animals with mouths. And yet the story shows there is more to these creatures than under first inspection. Like when Lügner calls Fern's mana suppression a crime against magic, or Aura showing joy and later fear, and the demon child killing the mayor leaving his kid orphaned because a couple in the town lPost too long.

>fear
they show fear to create empathy onto their human ennemy
also they don't have a society,most demons basically never interact with one another unless they need more muscle,they litterally abandon their children at birth,there are no records of romantic coupling
the demon king army was as cohesive as the average skaven army,if they could flee they ran away,if they can kill another demon to claim their victories,they do.
this doesn't even end up sprouting a nonsensical society like the exemple I'm comparing them to,since there is no longer the demon king to rally a semblance of them,it ended up creating a powe vacuum so big they basically returned to the wild and no real leader rose up.
the only connection we know is that despite being monsters,and thus made of mana and just disappearing when dead,they apparently have a soul,but if someone has any idea what that imply I would like to know.
Also they more or less don't interact with each other rather than hurt each other,but we do have an example of one demon betraying another and backstabbing them
and what I say goes to the chapter 122 something so huuuuuuh
