I’ve been reading the manga and I’m getting the sense that Naruto is the opposite of attack on titan in its messages. The only thing the shows share is the idea that violence is cyclical. Where divergence is defined is the purpose of soldiers to society—at least to me. Most nations are trying and are shown to be seeking peace meanwhile the main villains (whatever pain is and Madara) are doing the opposite by trying to start conflicts out of pure idealism over how they define peace between people. You cannot get anymore clearly antimilitaristic and anti war than that. I’ve read repeated statements in the manga about themes of unity and mutual understanding between clans of people on top of that. Hell the entire uchiha drama is explicitly related to a timeline of attempts to bridge peace between Senju and uchiha peoples.

Since the board is slow, (and my adhd stuggle to post on near-dead boards), let's do a general discussion thread of what you've been reading/watching.
Similar to the /tv/ thread on hobby.


I'll start:
Manga: Kingdom
It's alot of fun, currently on chapter 430.
Despite the restriction of it being in the past, there's alot of strategy/complication that makes it interesting to read.

And the manga is fun in the fact that it has shoenin level power clashing and hyping of characters – but still respects reality.
Like a character being healed after a fight is explained by months or even years of a time skip, or when situations where "talk-no-jutsu" would've occurred in shoenin, instead the person ranting is just meant to understand the world more before they die.


I am reading some others as well, like: Vinland Saga, One Piece, Watamote, and a few others – just been alittle addicted to Kingdom.
(I should catch up with One Piece though.. I'm 110 chapters behind with it).

Comedy anime is a underappreciated genre. My personal favorite one being Gintama as at first glance its just a silly comedy anime but as you get deeper into it you realize how much heart it has. It has some of the best comedy and series arcs in all of anime. Gintama's run a little over 700 chapters but it never got tired or overdone and each new arc felt refreshing.

My second one is Konosuba as its funny isekai that features an incompetent main cast of complete degenerates that somehow is able to succeed through shear dumb luck.

The setup of the world is original, the lore is interesting as fuck, the uncensored brutality showcases an interesting take on violence that feels genuine to what something like this in real life could occur and the plot is overall entertaining

But fuck the amount of other garbage in this pretty much “makes a perfectly baked caked bathed in the shittiest frosting you could’ve gotten”. Child nudity that only exists to satisfy the authors god awful fetishes, crying and death when it isn’t needed or doesn’t do anything to contribute to any form of character development, major figures like bondrewd, wazukyan and his crew or just reg and his origin in general either gets sidelined completely or just flat out abondoned after less than a single episode and it fucking sucks and makes trying to be entertained or even gain any cool ideas like how ethics are considered when the promise of discovery is near or how people respond and develop tools to new threats or just how nature itself adapts to the geography that surrounds it doesn’t truly feel like it got the attention it deserved in a series that felt like it was made for it

Who gave the protagonists the worst defeat?

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

Why is such beauty not produced anymore? What was in the water of mangakas in the 80s and 90s that they produced such fire?

Yeah that’s right, I think this matchup is actually one of the closest fiction has to offer and is far more plausible than the decades long Goku vs superman debates. Superman is a lazily written brawler whose strongest forms (one million and cosmic armour) aren’t even canon to the main plot. Superman has also lost a lot of times in canon to Diana in open combat just off the fact that Diana is far more skilled and experienced in close quarters combat than superman could ever dream to be. This ultimately makes the debate between who would win in this matchup a lot more interesting. A literal demigod trained by gods possessing untold levels of martial prowess and power vs an alien whose trained in martial arts his whole life developing some of the strongest powerups and fighting techniques known to fiction who has also been trained by dieties.

I see no hentai thread
