i always wanted to make a /co/ thread for leftist discussion, but i have no idea where to put it? most people would shove it off as "cape-shit" or "not Japanese" how ever i think that's the problem, viewing manga as separate from other comics. I consider myself a comics fan but love alot of manga too. and would really enjoy if people didn't segregate just because it's right to left. and if you really don't want a /co/ thread then were go?

Anon, Comics and manga are separated because the way they developed is massively different and impacted by the cultures of America and Japan. While they have common roots, they are different things.
As to where
There are plenty of /co/ threads on >>>/hobby/
>>>/hobby/1328
>>>/hobby/15233 (the old thread)
Also Western animation and capeshit threads too.

I frequent both there and here, but /anime/ was formed because people WANTED there to be separation.

Discussion of the way that Animators are treated in the Anime industry. Firstly. why are animators treated like shit? Why don't they try forming unions? You're thoughts on this whole Animator Dormitory project? How can the West (I'm assuming that most of Bunkerchan is yankees and eurofags) help?

Why do people constantly call the saga of Tanya Mangaka a communist? just stumbled upon the guy's feed and it's full of boomer takes, SDF shilling(this is the complete antithesis of the JCP), and anti-communist retweets.

On top of that, Riyoko Ikeda(The Rose of Versailles) who was a member of the Japanese communist party in her youth is now doing interviews with LDP and butt buddies with a senior member. The Riyoko one is far more shocking than the nazi anime girl

Comrades, we need better anime literacy on this board. I've made this thread to help direct people to good leftist anime. Listen to me or not, but I have watched a lot of anime so these are my serious recommendations. If you watch these shows you will also be broadening your tastes and escaping from seasonal consumerism. I will specifically recommend leftist/revolutionary anime.

>Belladonna of Sadness
This 1971 film has a lot of sexual content, but it is one of the most beautifully drawn anime of all time and is a great audio-visual experience, with varied styles of art over the film. It includes incredibly experimental and interesting shots. Plot wise it tackles the sexual, religious and feudal heirarchy with great visual storytelling. It flips the idea of sexual corruption as bad, and turns satanist hedonism into a revolutionary force which only positively affects the villagers.
>Gundam
Tomino's Gundam is a masterpiece because of how good the characters are. They are astoundingly well developed and feel real due to characterisation present in almost all episodes. Tomino's style of storytelling is obtuse, and the subext is not narrated out like in most anime, which many people really enjoy which is why the show has such a strong fan base. The themes of the original show are extremely well expressed in the last third, and a number of scenes towards the end are absolutely fantastic. As for the leftist analasys, Gundam is anti-fascist, with a possible Trotskyist degenerated worker's state analasys on the antagonist faction, who were originally a revolutionary anti-earth eco-fascist group until they were taken over by a ruling familly. However, their ideology is not wrong as the Earth Federation opresses the space-underclass as well as destroying the planet. There is a lot to unpack here and the evil principality is well humanised despite being clearly in the wrong, except for Char who did nothing wrong. Tomino is known to have some sexist takes, but this isn't really present until the 90s and before that his anime all have strong women.
>Gurren Lagann
It is the ultimate revolutionary anime. The entire show goes about combating conservatism and reactionism in a highly bombastic way, without making them seem evil. Instead, conservatism is just wrong and impossible to maintain. The show is epic, with very strong pPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Maybe not explicitly leftist but certainly has an anti-corporate, anti-establishment theme.
Kouya ni Kemono Doukokusu (In Wilder, the Beast Doth Lament) by Baku Yumemakura (writer) and Sei Itoh (mangaka), is a genuine hidden gem that deserves more exposure. The story follows a young biology researcher who turns into an amnesiac superhuman beast-man warrior. On a quest to figure out what happened to him he finds comrades that join him in a story of thrilling action and that travels from Japan to Papua New Guinea to Mexico as characters uncover a complex web of conspiracies involving major corporations and world governments, while also exploring some really out-there ideas on culture, history, religion and biology, and how all of those interact and shape each other. The plot is like a better written Killing Bites crossed with Undead Unluck: The premise is basically that there’s a retrovirus (D-Virus) different companies pursue or create that can manipulate people’s DNA structure, letting them to essentially become animal hybrid soldiers, the protagonist being a more advanced version of that.

It has massive 90s artstyle that is really clean and detailed and reminds me of Black Lagoon and Neon Genesis Evangelion. The character designs are distinct and interesting. It has excellent Japanese and Mesoamerican imagery, with well-placed paneling and spreads.

The series is apparently based on a Japanese Novel that was never exported and the manga itself ran from 2004 til 2014 in Magazine-Z. 9/10 would read again.

I'm watching s-CRY-ed right now and while I haven't seen the ending yet, I definitely feel as though it qualifies. The series revolves around a rivalry of two men, against a backdrop of a brutal sci-fi apartheid born as a result of the Japanese government's treatment of Alters, people who carry superpowers granted to them by an enviornmental freak accident that changed the Kanazawa area, now called the Lost Ground. I think it's one of those anime that comment on the brutality of the war on terror even if it's indirect, the director was also the guy behind Code Geass so that would track. It's really fucking intense and kind of a fever dream.

 

>>25251
I love that S-CRY-ed was partially the inspiration for High School DxD of all things.

As I said, Gurren and Kill la Kill's lead writer Kazuki Nakashima gets overseas political info from some pretty "explicitly lib, not leftist" figures: >>16401 Watanabe literally took a selfie with Hilary & got involved in lame "Bernie Sanders is a misogynist" culture warring as late as 2020 (now I don't like Bernie but come on, it's clear who was doing this stuff and for what ideological purposes). Her review of J. D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy, which Nakashima plugged back in the day, was pretty telling. https://youshofanclub.com/2016/10/31/hillbilly-elegy/

I haven't read the book, but based on her quotes (and the writer being a republican venture capitalist) it sounds like it's, uh, far from a leftist view of class politics - really overt "bootstraps" stuff. She explicitly agrees with the writer's claim that "hillbillies" need to stop blaming "politicians like Obama & Bush, or various corporations" for their failings & she even follows it up with "this applies to not just hillbillies, but everyone". J. D. Vance being a "former hillbilly", you notice how similar his rhetoric is to how more right-leaning black people (or just black people who gained success and/or power) will talk about poor black communities. Of course, as an immigrant in the US, Watanabe liked that Vance was critical of poor white people in America blaming minorities for their failings - but it clearly goes beyond that & pretty explicitly veers into "conservative bootstraps ideology, but not (explicitly) racist". Especially with the positively-portrayed "don't blame Obama, Bush & corporations" line.

Now I'm not saying Nakashima cultishly 100% unquestionably agrees with everything this person says and is a hardcore neolib, but he seems to be pretty close friends with her, consistently & uncritically plugging her books, reviews, articles etc for years.

how does anybody like this dogshit anime. my dog could have animated this better.

 

>>25255
It was a different time

 

I think people focus on the character too much and ignore the world the mangaka created around him.

Because in the context of Light's world, he is actually correct. He's not making an argument about what the result of his actions WOULD BE, the indiscriminate killing of anyone the Japanese justice system names a suspect does in fact eliminated crime from society for the duration of Kira's bloody reign!

You can say accurately that that's not how the real world works, but it is how the mangaka THINKS it works. There are no social or systemic causes of crime that cannot be overcome with harsher repression

>force him to have more interesting motivations
The way I read it, Denji doesn't actually think with only his dick but rather it's a very base constant motivation he can fall back on as an excuse instead of doing the hard work of introspection and understanding himself. It's a cop out basically. None of the women have filled the gap in his soul with sex and I think that the lesson is that sex simply cannot.

 

>>25238
He's an impoverished teenage boy with no good role models, no real support network, and that has been basically lurching from one deeply traumatic disaster to the next, while also now having to deal with high school and being a single father. At this point I don't think he's capable of introspection even if he tried since he was willing to give up his free will to Makima.

I think you could say that it's a manifestation of how badly he's been hurt that he's regressed to the point of wanting to do anything but think, and so he's taken refuge in thoughtless activities and his creature impulses.

 

>>25240
>At this point I don't think he's capable of introspection even if he tried

Yeah solid agree. If it wasn't getting laid, it's be something equally mundane. I'm hoping that the direction the series goes is having Dennis coming to self actualization in a stupid roundabout way that he is not exactly consciously aware of.

The VO is garbage.

I like the original dub the most. It's got character.

>>25229
You talking about the real original (with TMNT cast) or the current dub?
Because I remember the VHS OOG and it turned me off of anime for years.
>>25232
I think we all have a built up tolerance for lousy voice acting.
But just imagine Charlie as Tetsuo, Dennis as Kanaeda and DeVito as the glowie.

The current one is acceptable. But it could be excellent.

 

>>25234
The original one from the 90s. Geneon? Or maybe it was Pioneer.

 

>>25237
I honestly don’t know any details, other than I recognized the TMNT VO on the OG VHS tape.
Honestly, it was a massive culture shock. It was my first real exposure to anime, but I was watching the most violent and gruesome scenes and hearing the voices from the kiddy cartoons I grew up watching.
The 2nd (current) one doesn’t. So I guess it’s better, or at least a little less distracting.

Honestly, every few years there’s a new announcement for a live action adaptation. Which is a bad idea, because you can’t beat the animation. But it would be nice if they could cast some actually talented actors to redubb it. Maybe even hire some solid writers to punch up the dialogue. Because let’s be honest, it was a 3rd rate adaptation at the time. Now it’s one of the most
(Visually) influential films of all time. But the VO still kills the vibe.

For some reason, I can’t think of anyone else that could do Tetsuo justice, other than Charlie Day.

Got a spare moment so I'm gonna bring up an article that's been bugging me. Long story short, it's a list of Avatar The Last Airbender characters that can/can't pass the Chunin Exams. The Crossover-versus concept is fun, but the author seems to have a strange understanding of the exams and characters involved. An aspect that's heavily ignored is the emphasis on teamwork in the initial part of the exams. I'm gonna go over the characters mentioned. Later I might go into other ATLA characters, not included here. As a preface I wanna say that going by original Chunin exam, almost no characters except the Avatar and the White Lotus members would normally be able to clear the Chunin exam as victors (though you don't have to win the Finals to pass. Gaara, Sasuke, Rock Lee and Neji would absolutely terminate most of the ATLA verse, but for the sake of the post I'm putting it aside.
https://archive.is/UWKe1
>Ty-Lee
Ty Lee would presumably be teamed up with Azula and Mai. Mai is close to the performance of Tenten (in terms of fighting style) and if Sakura could pull through the Forest of Death and fight bandits and fodder nin in Part 1, then Ty Lee and Mai could clear that. Their lack of bending is what would probably keep them from passing the Finals (or preliminaries). Ty-Lee's mental fortitude may be weaker than Mai and Azula's under pressure, but she also tends to follow Azula's lead, and if Azula could pass the Written Exam, then so would Ty-Lee.
>Bumi
Little to say here, it's spot-on, team-work wouldn't even be a necessity for him. It just feels out of place to put him in an exam for low-tier characters, as his character is more equivalent to a Kage.
>Suki
She and her Kyoshi warriors would do okay with the written exam given how disciplined their martial studies are and possibly the Forest of Death due to teamwork and CQC, but they wouldn't make it through the Finals. Azula, Mai and Ty-Lee took them all out by themselves, Suki is the most skilled and she'd only pass the prelims if her opponent's weren't long-distance attackers like Temari.

His fire-bending, even early on in ATLA is fairly powerful, but only late-series Zuko would make it through the exams considering heavy hitters of the Genin. Gaara's sand alone would be immPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The latest update for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is expected to be Chapter 11, which is set for release on June 20, 2024. Here's what we can expect based on online discussions:

The story heats up: The previous chapter set the stage for some intense battles. Chapter 11 is likely to delve into these confrontations, with fans particularly interested in:

Sarada vs. Hidari: Their fight began in Chapter 10, and it seems like this chapter will showcase a proper exchange of blows.
Other character battles: We might also see developments in fights involving Boruto, Kawaki, Himawari, and Jura.
Boruto's struggle: Boruto remains estranged from the Hidden Leaf Village, which has altered everyone's memories. Chapter 11 might offer clues about his future and how he'll deal with this situation.

It's important to note that these are predictions based on online discussions. You'll have to wait until June 20th to see exactly what unfolds in Chapter 11.

In the meantime, you can catch up on the latest chapters through https://borutochapters.com/
