>Humanity has been driving away the Demon Lord's army for a long time by summoning "Heroes" once every 100 years. But one day, the Demon Lord's army devises a countermeasure to the Heroes: entrap and kill them when they're in a defenseless state straight after the summoning. To commemorate this historic fear, the Great Demon Lord designated that year as "Year One of Entrapment Killing." The Heroes have all been slaughtered by the Demon Lord's forces ever since. Fast forward to today, Year 1000 of Entrapment Killing: the summoners are very worried. "What kind of Hero should we call? I don't know… Someone take this out of our hands!" And thus, they summoned Hiroyuki, creator of 2channel and the master at settling debates.
That's right Japan is still in the "owned with facts and logic" phase of online discourse.

you can recognize the good direction on some episodes, and the complex character, even forgive shit like the bad animation and slide show episodes. But also have to recognize that nobody that is actually sane can get through 10 episodes that are basically 70% repeated footage with only 30 % that is different, holy shit the early episodes all have the same beats, the elevator sequence, the fight, the different speaches. That only ever starts to get better like halfway through. I know we were all amazed by the moving colors in the 90s, but this is simply unforgivable today

Not the first time I've read something like that. Other scholars pointed out that a law passed in the 80s to help women stay in the workforce brought a new type of magical girl: the kind that fights evil with her powers, so sailor moon.

That's bullshit, why isn't that a problem in the second half, or in mawaru penguin drum? Besides that what kinda directorial choice is it to have entire episodes of footage loops, like episode 7 I think it contained like 2 minutes of original animation, 1 at the beginning and one at the end and the rest was recycled animation loops, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, maybe It was like 4 min, but you seriously think this is a valid direction choice, what is it trying to say? Commenting on the futility of watching anime? Lmao

Manga prominently featuring female characters and perspectives. I recently read some Tomoko Yamashitas works, and would appreciate if anyone has recommendations for more. Can also serve as a yuri thread, since old one is full.

No, not pedophilic, as really I frankly rarely see loli-shit in illustrated Yuri. However I won't deny that Yuri as a genre has always given me a bad vibe; a lot of yuri doujins, even SFW ones, feature questionable consent and peer pressure by a sexually aggressive character, usually a sempai, with manipulations and gaslighting. Yaoi often does the exact same thing as well for that matter. Rarely have I seen either done genuinely well, with simply two normal adults having a normal relationship. Partially I'd attribute this to the fact that it's hard to write such a relationship without being boring, unless you throw something interesting into the setting such as it being a sci-fi or fantasy - and even then that's not a guarantee of good writing. It's easier to turn to cheaper methods of 'thrilling' taboo, which is why 50 Shades of Gray and Twilight sold so well and had such a large following in spite of being well known trash.

Why is the school setting liked so much in anime? It cannot just be that the target audience is mostly children, because there are a lot of anime of this sort oriented to older otaku also. Do anime ever make more than passing attempts at portraying so called "adulthood" as a future to be excited about?

Its not like you have a choice. Adults make you take it seriously. Yet, when you graduate, they just shrug you off. All that acdemic bulkshit you go through and they say "meh you dont know shit" even though they crininalize kids for skipping school.

I really think adults underestimate the treachery of school largely because theyve been away from it for so long.
Thats the beauty of childhood nostalgia and marketing.

What i find funny about the school setting is that a lot of these anime don't even take place in the school itself

>explanations for this quasi-Orientalism
It's probably largely due to this sentiment.

The factors that seem to contribute would be:
1. The alternative modernity that Japan represents to the people from more Western parts of the West, as opposed to the still quite culturally hegemonic— in the imperial core that the Western nations comprise— American ilk of modernity, has offered some sort of avenue of escapism that is exotic, convenient, and amassed as @Orikron aforementioned has said basically, yet not actually Other to the empire, as
Eurasian civilizations Russia, China,‌‌‌‌‍‌⁣‌⁢⁣⁢⁣‌‍‌‬⁣‍‬‌‍‬‬‬‬‌‬‌‌‌‌‍‬‬‌‌‌‌‍‬‌‌‌‌‌‍‬‬‌‌‌‌‍‬⁣‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‍‬‌‌‌‌‌‍‬‬‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‍‬‍‌‌‌‌‍⁢⁢‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‍⁣‌‌‌‌‬‌‍‌‌‌‌⁢‍‬‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌‬⁢‌‌‌‌⁢‍‍‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌‍⁢‍‌‌‌‌‬‌‌‌‌⁢‌⁢‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌‬⁣‍‌‌‌‌⁢‌‬‌‌‌‌‬⁣⁣‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌⁢‬‍‌‌‌‌‬⁣‍‌‌‌‌⁢‬‍‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌‬‌‌‌‌‌⁢‌⁢‌‌‌‌⁢‍‌‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌‍⁢ ‌‌‌‌⁢‍⁢‌‌‌‌⁢‍‌‌‌‌‌‬⁣‍‌‌‌‌⁢‍‍‌‌‌‌‬⁢‌‌‌‌‬⁣‍‌‍‌‬‍‍‬and Iran are; so as to go and step outside of the hegemony's boundaries.

2. To paraphrase someone, stagnation fuels novelty, and the popular culture industry and the subcultural niches in Japan, as other researchers have noted, have enormously flourished, while the Japanese society itself has suffered the malaises of the bust— this phenomenon is probably noticeable incidentally in the content of some anime; furthermore, Japan was also one of the first countries to venture into that postmodernity, into the sort of societal impasse that now afflicts numerous nations elsewhere in the West, too, with the failure of the old narratives and similar (go check out Utena also), and plus further Japan was one of the first countries in Asia to modernize, so the Orientalistic stereotypes about the aesthetic of Asian modernity and the alterity of it took heavy influence likely from their course, the early impressions and later fetishization of Shibuya to raise one example.

3. The sovereignty of Japan is also as vassal state quite subjugated to the American empire, and many people in the imperial core likely consider the place to be their wacky, "thing, Japan" being sort of the demonstration of this mentality, tourist spot, and the Japanese govt. encourages this sort of almost self exoticization, because of geopolitical cuckoldry or glowie shit.
