UZSR was a prescient name for a pseudo-USSR since it includes a nice Z.
I appreciate that while not-USSR is somewhat racist towards vampires not-Americans are even worse.

Is it even remotely accurate about USSR or just a bunch of cliches?

>>17228
okay
>presented by anime khrushchev as a hero
dropped

>>17209
Everyone ITT:
cope & seethe
USSR welcome all species & universal
I cried after saw the anime. Yuri Gagarin indeed was a hero. Wonderful. So when the next season coming out?

It was always an extremely niche anime series, it's popular only because of people rediscovering it way later on. And it's still pretty niche for most people

>>12248
Bubblegum Crisis is exactly what you're looking for. Suprised nobody mentioned it so far.

>>17736
Wow that was awesome. I loved it.

>>17569
No, it's a remake.

>>17569
no,it's the same show.
>>17566
>he doesn't remember the moments in Africa
I said it kinda as a joke ,it's the 80's kind of racism in media where you're like "oh yeah the africans in their jungles with their sun dials"

>>17569
I like these styles more than what anime became later on. In a weird way this style has made a come back in western animation; this sort of more simplistic art style.

You know there is something funny about a remaking a show in current japan, 40 years into a economic stagnation, about a show that was made when it was at its peak.


>>17569
no but watch the original in between weeks. the show itself is episodic. there's no real continuity or a story besides tidbits that build up towards the end.

only people into anime like isekai

A Git Sez Wot?

>tfw no bludgeoning angel dokru-chan later manga adaptation
okay, it did get pretty boring near the end

has anyone read rest of the series? where?

>>17577
unless you can read japanese,you're fucked,nobody even picked the novel.
maybe you can find a guy to pay to translate it,I dunno.

>>17583
shame,
such a memed anime doesn't have support

>>17567
what do u mean by 1

idk

>>17564
No, tsukasa is a luddite anprim, and senku is a fanboy of gpl (because he invents things without care for profits or patents) who is nostalgic for the past world.

they're both retards,and the boat captain needs to be guillotined.

Tsukasa is more like a neo reactionary primitavist authoritarian dictator.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

>>17504
Yes.

Perfect Blue could be considered either a thriller or psychological horror.

>>17512
Nah it’s a documentation of celebrity culture with a mix of schizophrenia

>>17504
Yes. It's 100% psychological horror.

The fact that the first recommendation in the thread wasn't Perfect Blue makes me disappointed in all of you.

thoughts on ghost stories
is it actually scary without the dub jokes?

You're on the right track by using kid shows. I'd say watch something like Peppa pig's Japanese dub (you can find it on YouTube I believe) or crayon shin Chan since they're both targeted at small children. I could understand most of what was going on in the show unless they used a vocab word I hadn't learned yet, the grammar is pretty simple for both shows as well.

moe sol cgdct, the one with a specific hobby attached will help with vocabularies around that topic, with japanese subs if you can already read a bit. also cram vocabs with anki, it doesnt take a lot of time and is very easy, dont use duolingo it sucks and a waste of your time. also memorise basic kanji, i suggest you learn 500 basic kanji then stop learning them individually and go for vocabularies.

haven't read/seen a lot of fire force but soul eater is good. could see it being dismissed as a random "it's ok I guess" fighting shonen by people who've read/seen boatloads of historical stuff but I think there's some really good qualities. anime-original stuff does mess with the themes and story but nothing is stopping you from watching the anime & switching to the manga when it starts deviating, especially given Okubo's early art could be very wonky (esp the faces) and the Bones visuals are amazing. just keep in mind (iirc) the "kishin egg" concept is anime-only but it's not a huge thing. visually it's peak 2000s mallgoth aesthetic (not an insult, it's very charming if done well) and Okubo improves immensely throughout the run. thematically there's some great stuff about fighting with your flaws/mental illnesses/neuroses and finding the right person to "resonate" with - Black Star isn't just a "Naruto parody" but an interesting exploration of how the brains of characters like that & their real-world counterparts work and Tsubaki is a perfect partner for him. Maka as someone who takes everything very seriously & worries a lot fights WITH her fear & her partner is an encouraging dude who doesn't take everything very seriously. Death the Kid's obsessed with symmetry so his partners are twins with very different looks and personalities. his OCD at first felt like a lame running joke but the way it was incorporated into the themes of "balance vs harmony" and how past generations saw it as purely "balance vs chaos" was great. tezca & justin stuff was really good and again very observant of how people think.

now the elephant in the room re: okubo is fire force's "woke 8 year old owns feminist" scene and sure, it's far from flawless (switching from "accidental undressing" fanservice to self-sexualization on the spot to help his point, the very concept of "woke 8yo") but I don't really care because:

1. if you check the people who attack him for fanservice on japanese social media, they aren't the japanese equivalent of your sex positive leftist friends - they're loony #istandwithjkrowling types who actually do shame irl women for self-sexualizing. it's literally not a fabricated strawman if you know that crowd!

2. it's cool seeing a guy who's not a partisan right winger call out "fanservice is evil" stuff without going off an ideological deep end, instead keeping his personal outlook. it's great how his series are jPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It's a toupee

honestly the more I think about this the more in-character it is

Always go with release order, no matter the type of media.
