coming back to this, he only follows 30 people on twitter and 4 of them are literally far-right sanseito anti globalist guys

>>29899
It's a pretty safe assumption these days that the average mangaka is some flavor of far-right. Also funny to see people here defending this strand of Japanese politics as just anti-American anti-imperialism as if Japan were not a former empire itself and as if every notable "anti-globalist" politician in Japan wasn't anti-Korean, Sinophobic and still dreaming of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
You can just say you enjoy the manga anyway but holy shit, stop deluding yourselves.

I'd describe it more as InuYasha meets FLCL.

I think that might be why it's the only mainstream Battle Shounen/Nekketsu I like. Because it's not a battle shounen, it's an awkward Rumiko Takahashi-esque teen romance tale that just happens to have cool fights. No power-scaling bullshit (yet) even if it got real close with that three-eyed-demon guy. Just goofy bullshit.

I hate pedoshit and lolicon but this is a hell of a reach for a number of reasons.
1) Early marriages have happened throughout history and she's not even that young relative to age of consent in many countries outside the USA.
2) Actually she was 16 when she married him and had her daughter with him when she was 19

One Piece is for kids. Sure, there’s a lot of gore, but fundamentally it’s basically the weeaboo version of LOTR, and both are idealist children’s tales, moreso LOTR since it began with The Hobbit.

I’m amazed that people still go apeshit about fictional teens getting married to slightly older people but are ok with fictional teens being groomed into soldiers

Didn’t they release season one of the live action adaptation already?
Or was that another platform?

Well, Heated Rivalry it is then

That’s because BL is a descendent of nanshoku literature. In a gay relationship, both partners are social equals, they are both men who are mutually attracted to each other. In BL and nanshoku before it, one partner is dominant and the other submissive and the submissive partner is treated as if he is the social equivalent of a woman. The love can also be one sided and pederastic.

>>30231
Maybe it's because it's usually aimed at straight women who still want to fantasize that they could get with one of the guys. Yuri is actually not that different (it's better nowadays but still), lesbianism is often treated as this cute and innocent schoolgirl episode that you grow out of to marry a man.

>>30235
BL and GL both run on this constant themes of self-denialism

Toxic yuri is the new hotness. Sisters, we have never been so back.

They dont pay them regardless.

People still think the worker gets royalties or some shit instead of a fixed salary, I thought that retardation was done after they stopped talking about it in video games, but looks like every cultural product still suffer from this

I actually watched a video on this recently. Aside from the common reasons one might assume (rigid hierarchy structure, strong social aversion to any crime, assumption that it's harming one of their largest industries, etc), the video breaks down the history of Japan's crazy strict copyright laws and the impact it's had on the collective psyche as a result. Definitely an interesting dive into the topic, worth a watch

Japanese would be such an ideal LION NATION under a DotP, they are such hardcore regimers.

i havent watched this show but all the dudes in it are hot as fuck

>>30259
Yep. All the male characters are sexy and nuanced as fuck. The manga series went from 2009 thru 2017

The anime only had two seasons sadly.

I will now admit to being old.

I like Hakuryuu Ren better.
A much better written version of Sasuke Uchiha

“The Place Promised in Our Early Days” isn’t exactly about the Cold War, but in an alternate universe where Japan gets divided into a Russian-occupied north and American-occupied south, or kind of.

“Master Keaton” by Naoki Urasawa is a good period anime, although its setting is mostly cold-war era Europe. Monster, by the same author, is technically set after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but much of its story is rooted in the Cold War so I think that counts, and so are 20th century boys and Asadora! albeit the two are centred in Japan compared to the earlier works.

If you just want espionage and spies, then you may like:

I guess there’s Black Lagoon too since many scenes feature flashbacks from the Cold War.

Thanks

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

So! I generally think Hathaway's Flash has to be understood as extremely a companion piece to Char's Counterattack. I mean, this is almost tautological, right. Obviously a work that is the most directly next in chronological order should be considered at least majorly a companion piece! However, I mean this as in, Tomino was probably writing this as he was directing Char's Counterattack. The story of Hathaway (rather than Char), then, is a story started in Zeta, sure, but ultimately a story that is told in the dual novel series of CCA-Hathaway. This unity of attitudes permeates both works, in that both CCA and Hathaway are written during the falling-apart of the Warsaw Pact, and in the wake of the failure of the Japan's Leftist struggles. There is a palpable despair of Fukuyaman End of History that seeps through both works. In that way, I feel similarly towards Hathaway's Flash as I do CCA. It's a work that is a Marxist tearing his heart out, and I can't help but to sympathize. The movies do a good enough job at adapting the novels, and unless the changes in the third movie is egregious, I don't think I'll hate it, despite it technically being a non-Tomino Gundam work.

Char Aznable never could have dropped the Axis because of who won the Cold War, but we have to create a world where that's conceivable. Mafty could never win, but we have to create a world where that's conceivable.
