What's the board consensus on the manhua "The Reincarnated King of Fists"?
For those unaware, the manga is about a demon lord who wants to end the enslavement of non-human races, but fails, gets killed and regresses through time.

>In a world where humans enslave non-human species, the powerful wizard Leppenhardt creates an empire to safeguard these beings. However, his reign ends when he's defeated by the brutally strong Tesron, the "King of Fists." But death isn’t the end, because Leppenhardt awakens in Tesron's young body! Now armed with incredible strength and a new identity, he sets off to free the non-human races again. Can the new King of Fists reshape the world for all, or will his second chance slip away?
Somehow they cant get away from isekai cliques even when the story isnt isekai.

>>28713
I never read it but main character is hot and killing slavers is based so preliminary assesment is positive



 

Let's see
>Guts is a low ass commoner bastard born from a corpse, meant to die, raised in a hellish world (that's literally just the same as our own before Guts encounters any actual demons) so harsh and cruel he likely has severe PTSD by the time he's 15
>Best friend Griffith is a social climbing piece of shit who has to murder and scheme to almost make it to the top, even then the ruling class tells him to go fuck himself and he has to sell his soul to the devil and murder all his friends to finally make it
>The ruling class are mostly monsters; the King is a pedophile nut that tries raping his own daughter, the "nicest" nobles were wrapped up in a brutal inquisition
>The whole world is ruled by an impersonal, most amoral entity created by human will but superseding all humans, controlling their lives based on it's own whims which are of course encouraged by the worst human impulses
>The thing everyone worships is literally evil itself
>Even the leaders of the apostles are pawns of the Market, err…."Idea of Evil"
Fuck it
The godhand are the bourgeoisie
The apostles are the petit bourgeois
Fuck yea

Never got to post in the anime hot takes thread, so I'll post it here:
Berserk sucks until Guts gets raped

Before here's no reason to give a shit about anything other than the art.
After, we get to see a story that's the edgy metal stuff, while also his life time experience of dealing with the trauma, even in the most subtle of ways.

>>26838
Guts shows classic signs of that trauma from the first volume.

Guts & Griffith were in love in the Golden Age arc.

>>26839
Yeah fair, but it takes a back seat to the edgyness, plus it's hard to care when you don't have any connection to this world.

looks like Filthy Frank in this pic lol

I swear, this is genuinely the only anime I can think of that is the perfect example of having genuinely amazing animation with absolute dogshit choreography—and I’m not just talking about fight choreography. Chase scenes, any action scenes, sometimes just characters interacting with their environment, there has somehow been a decline in overall quality of choreography in how characters move in general today than there was at the start of the show despite the increased budget and visibly improved animation quality. I want to imagine that it’s oda not having the time or skill to draw manga panels with good motion like what happened to the animation quality of dragon ball gt compared to dbz, but I don’t think that’s enough of an excuse when basically any fight with zoro exists.



 

I feel like the reason why Baki, one punch man s1, all of dragon ball, Ippo, and megalo box did do well with the action even in comparison to other shone isn’t that the combat is realistic to say but that it’s coherent. Those shows don’t feature overly complicated magic systems or spam special effects anywhere near as much as other anime, so it’s easier for viewers to register what the fuck is happening even if they’ve never watched a single anime series in their lives.
Like fuck, I’d be lying if I said I could understand anything happening in one piece much less fairy tail in any scene compared to the average hand to hand exchange in dragon ball or whatever fights Lee is in in Naruto. All the isekai that get pumped out are even worse when it comes to making fights completely incoherent.

Io Fleming vs Daryl Lorenz (gundam thunderbolt)
And that’s it

The rest is genuine dogshit

Not really judging the OP with this since >>28565 mostly talks about stuff like elaborate systems of techniques & not just the fights being too visually extravagant, but when it comes to the purely visual aspect I think "unreadable nonsensical shit" when applied to anime battles is mostly a contrarian meme in reaction to over-the-top flashy battles catching on to the extent that they did in recent years with stuff like Kimetsu no Yaiba and modern One Piece (of course, such series being hugely popular enforces the idea that such execution is for "lamestream posers"). Sometimes there ARE issues with readability in such fights, yes, but those can occur just as easily in more down-to-earth "traditional" battles. most of the fights championed by people who criticize "flashiness over substance" are still over-the-top and not realistic (cartoons are rarely "down to earth" to begin with) but I think what it really boils down to is the age-old idea that showmanship & exaggeration (essentially stuff that's fun to "the turd-chucking masses, ugh") are worse than perceived subtlety. Here's the pope essentially saying "shounenshit is shit, watch slice of life" in 1323.

Then you have even sillier comments like "Naruto ninjas aren't real ninjas, they're practically wizards!" coming from westerners whose idea of ninjas was formed by anglophone media and have no idea that, yes, ninjas in Japanese folklore use supernatural techniques and ride giant frogs. Or the claim that flashiness is being used to "hide bad animation" being applied to stuff that's obviously extremely well animated under the effects (I saw someone Takeshi Koike's Iron Man trailer back when it was new https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_ej7ZlS2oQ&ab_channel=ComicHeroNews)

I showed that one Luffy vs Kizaru scene by Vincent Chansard, the one everyone shits on for being THE perfect embodiment of unreadable degenerate excesses in modern anime fights https://x.com/v2TokyoGhost/status/1916530135555002416, to a friend who's mainly into western cartoons and cartoony anime/manga like 60s-80s Lupin (Dragon Ball being the only shonen he's intimately familiar with) and he just went "yeah itPost too long.

Do you think that Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is the most communist anime you’ve ever seen the first half of the show he’s finally against the fascist Lordgenome then father in the intergalactic anti spiral and Kamina taught Simon how to be a true man and stand up for yourself in the right it my opinion yes it is a communist show

nakashima is definitely not a "real leftist" by this board's standards at all >>25271

lord genome became an ally. he used to be a spiral warrior but changed his mind after finding out about the spiral nemesis; he had a point that being gung-ho about human evolution isn't the answer, but went for the cowardly opposite-extreme authoritarian solution & got drunk with power

the theme of the show, "past and present coming together to create a path towards the future", can be applied to many things, but if applied to partisan politics (and it very easily could given the antagonists' approach being literally conservative) it's a rather centrist one. Lord Genome & the Anti-Spiral having a point that should not be ignored is clear-as-day an integral part of the show's message. it's basically saying conservative old-timers & rebellious youth need to work together.

Found this random chart of anime that is considered left wing vs Right wing on the Xitter.
Thoughts? Agree or disagree?


The body was too short or empty The body was too short or empty. The body was too short or empty. The body was too short or empty The body was too short or empty.

Would add the goated Hunter X Hunter in left wing anime. While twitterers go like "haha liberals are sympathizing with murderous bugs again", hxh literally humanizes a bunch of ants and dehumanize humans. There's the abstract NK dictator country knock-off which the capital's called "Peijing" but honestly it's just the aesthetic, it doesn't even go as far as to try pointing out some kind of political hypocrisy

>>27052
BHA is just fash slop

>>28488
I've talked about this before in this board. Togashi is a turbo anti-politicians liberal. At least he also hates rich people so he's almost based.
>hxh literally humanizes a bunch of ants and dehumanize humans
Meruem, even at his best, becomes a caricature of le evil Orwellian dictator who "lets the best humans live in a special zone". Meanwhile he pushes the "humans are le bad but can be le good" trope which is just nonsense, it doesn't mean anything. CA arc is great but not for its politics.

>>28547
Honestly I doubt its author even has the cognitive ability to think about social issues and politics.

>>28570
Perhaps, but all his main assistants have been super right-wing guys. Go look at Kunio Ajino's entire follow list, it's like January 6 all over again lmao

>>27052
>mha
>left wing
dude what
Why is eoe left wing? and why is eva show right wing? Oh wait I read the thing. Sexualization of kids is right wing? I'd say eva is tactful in its handling of depression

Leftypol consensus on the boondocks? Not read the comic but i enjoyed the show (granted i’m not black, so i can’t really relate to it) - and is it considered leftist?

Damn the civil rights episode was hilarious too.

>>28420
"The Itis" is a heavy handed metaphor for drugs being pushed into black communities.

Yeah I enjoyed the show too, and saw a video break down and provide context for a segment of the comic that made it sound pretty interesting.

>>28163
lmao
>>28401
I understood it when I was 13

>>28401
Bruh what are you talking about about?
There's nothing inherently esoteric about that show.
The messages from that show were as clear as day

Manga is incomplete, creator is dead, recent shows bombed, no sign of new content coming out any time soon, writing quality went down the drain after super released, ending still hasn’t been written, even the games are losing players and the games don’t even suck… this is fucking brutal man.

> (let’s be real, he barely trains throughout the whole franchise compared to most generic Shinobi). Never liked that show for how much of a cartoonish self contradicting power fantasy it always was. “Hard work and dedication” my ass. Fucker was born privileged and barely worked a day in his life.

Naruto was not born privileged. But I kinda agree that his training is overestimated.
What I really hate about Naruto is how they make the main character an absolute goofball.

I ironically like the Infinite Tsukyomi version of Naruto much more.

I also hate the constant flashbacks within flashbacks of the Shippuden arc.
And the fight against Madara was like the Vietnam War. A long meaningless bloodbath.

My brother had to skip episodes and I don't even really know how Naruto amd Sasuke broke free and managed to save the day.

Shippuden's saving grace was that the characters were all good looking and had some cool powers.

Speaking of which, I dont know if you noticed but in Naruto,the villians are sexier than the heroes.

>>28598
Everyone noticed man. They also have better reasons for their actions than naruto

>>28600
Nagato(Pein) is the most justified

His painted toes also are erotic

>>28600
I refer to Shippuden as ShitPuddin

dragon ball has fallen, millions must be sent to the other world



 

what is your favorite JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part???

mine are part 3: Stardust Crusaders and part 5: Golden Shower
i just watched part 6: Stone Ocean, and I was a bit disappointed by the animation and didn't like it as much as the other ones, even though the ending is so shocking and ridiculous that it was fun

but i've only watched the anime, i haven't read the mangos. should i read the mangos?!?!?
8 posts and 2 image replies omitted.

part 2 was peak
part 1 was good
i feel like they just get worse from there
part 3 felt like pokemon or yokai watch for adults with the same lazy formula and shallow writing. it had some moments but 99% of it was a slog.
part 4 lost me entirely

Parts 4 and 7

7 > 2 > 3 (Egypt) > 4 > 5 > 1 > 6 > 3 (pre-Egypt)

JoJolion is great because its a bunch of fashion models, Araki turned his beautiful style of aesthetic from ripping off classical art into copying postmodern drag queen aesthetic.

So extremely based how Gappy is a cute sailor twink who brutally crushes the bodies of health industry capitalists like he's Luigi Mangione doing a Vogue photoshoot

>>27365
considering the "west" on the Spy x family is an analogue to West germany there is no centrism.

>>27365
Ostania is literally called a people's republic in the manga and the creator has promoted right-wing policies irl with spy family(Anya is the poster child for the mynumbercard policy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLk90nT91pI. Also this one page had japan arguing for days

>>27365
Spy family rom comming secret police wasn't on my bingo card

weird how liberals have no problem noticing and critiquing militarism when it comes with armies shooting each other, but spying and sabotage are somehow non-ideological even though there were millions of people killed by capitalism during the Cold War
