What is 6 - 2?

Not reporting is bourgeois

Most of their abilities are just manipulation or conjuration with some transmutation in between sometimes. What in the shit makes Pitou a specialist?
Neon could predict the future, Chrollo can steal abilities. What can Pitou do that you can't do with the normal 5 nen types?

I like that you called it "autism". I'm actually autistic and spend so much fucking time thinking about nen and creating fanfic hatsus it might as well be my main hobby at this point.

It's not your hatsu that makes your type. Pitou could have her hatsu be whatever the fuck she wants since her Nen pool is so large the efficiency loss ends up not mattering. So her hatsu really doesn't need to conform to her type. Tailoring your hatsu to your type is something only tryhards do (i.e. Hunters trained in Shingen-ryu such as Killua, Kurapika etc).

Another example of a Nen user with a hatsu and type mismatch is Biske, who could afford to have her hatsu be a mix of conjuration and manipulation despite being a transmuter. You could count Kastro's hatsu as well in this, sorta, as it's a complex Nen application that relies on multiple types.

>>27172
I'm not trying to disparage the appeal that the sheer numbers game has for some people, but with HxH in particular it really distracts from the rest of the manga. There are many things about Nen that are good and contribute to the story, but something like "Biscuit's hatsu is a mix of conjuration and manipulation despite being a transmuter" doesn't. This kind of thing should stay in supplementary materials.

Let's be honest. The hatsu sytem is useful for Togashi to write new abilities, but the reader can perfectly ignore it. Most abilities are extremely different and you could just consider them like stands from JJBA

Well, I know this isn't similar to anime music, but anyone knows the source of this jap ad canon choir music, somewhere between 0:25 until 0:41, when god descended upon them to grant them any wish? I've tried everything and still couldn't found it. Thanks, btw.

You may be shocked to learn this but when you design a character who is going to be in an animated movie, this includes the character's appearance. A protagonist character who is going to be drawn like tens of thousands of times in a movie is going to have attention paid to all the details of their design, and ideally any detail should be relevant to the story somehow. What he's talking about here is a pretty common design trope, that larger bust size can be used to imply a character is motherly and caregiving. I'm a Miyazaki hater but thinking this is a sexual comment is silly. It's just something that's not talked about that often because of repression of anything that's considered sexual.

I dont care for his movies. I dont like the art style

miyazaki ghibli: i dont really care about this AI stuff like i honestly dont think about it at all
me: oh yeah? well what about Now *AI generates an image of the Spirited Away girl with some really vascular D cups*
miyazaki: no… NO!!!

How did making a manga where future technology and past social sctructures exist together push him away from marxism?

He's just an artist, I wouldn't worry too much about his ideological qualms.

Comrades, we need better anime literacy on this board. I've made this thread to help direct people to good leftist anime. Listen to me or not, but I have watched a lot of anime so these are my serious recommendations. If you watch these shows you will also be broadening your tastes and escaping from seasonal consumerism. I will specifically recommend leftist/revolutionary anime.

>Belladonna of Sadness

This 1971 film has a lot of sexual content, but it is one of the most beautifully drawn anime of all time and is a great audio-visual experience, with varied styles of art over the film. It includes incredibly experimental and interesting shots. Plot wise it tackles the sexual, religious and feudal heirarchy with great visual storytelling. It flips the idea of sexual corruption as bad, and turns satanist hedonism into a revolutionary force which only positively affects the villagers.
>Gundam
Tomino's Gundam is a masterpiece because of how good the characters are. They are astoundingly well developed and feel real due to characterisation present in almost all episodes. Tomino's style of storytelling is obtuse, and the subext is not narrated out like in most anime, which many people really enjoy which is why the show has such a strong fan base. The themes of the original show are extremely well expressed in the last third, and a number of scenes towards the end are absolutely fantastic. As for the leftist analasys, Gundam is anti-fascist, with a possible Trotskyist degenerated worker's state analasys on the antagonist faction, who were originally a revolutionary anti-earth eco-fascist group until they were taken over by a ruling familly. However, their ideology is not wrong as the Earth Federation opresses the space-underclass as well as destroying the planet. There is a lot to unpack here and the evil principality is well humanised despite being clearly in the wrong, except for Char who did nothing wrong. Tomino is known to have some sexist takes, but this isn't really present until the 90s and before that his anime all have strong women.
>Gurren Lagann
It is the ultimate revolutionary anime. The entire show goes about combating conservatism and reactionism in a highly bombastic way, without making them seem evil. Instead, conservatism is just wrong and impossible to maintain. The show is epic, with very strong pPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Gundam

Saw the new "movie" for Gundam QuuuuuX or whatever. Not sure how to feel about it.

It's basically an AU where Char finds the Gundam before Amuro and the whitebase is made into a Zeon ship. The war ends when Char gets Counterattacked and the Feddies sue for peace. Cut to five years later and a teenage spacenoid wants to use Zeon's new mobile suit in underground Bumdam fights "Clan battles."

So there's some changes which are kind of whatever, but what sticks out to me the most is the anti-war angle of the original Gundam is airbrushed out in this new version. Maybe that'll change as the series goes on, but so far the implications of this space war that wiped out literally 3+ billion people is glossed over for teen robot hijinx.

Also I don't think I like studio khara's Eva-ification of the mobile suits.

Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans premise seems pretty fucking cool. Is it worth watching in full?

>>27179
I liked it. The fanfiction / fanservice beginning was great fun. The animation was top notch and both the character and mechanical designs really grew on me. It was handling newtypes properly as well. Also Char's character was good. I kind of wish he had stuck around. But I'm also happy for the tragic yaoi between him and Chalia Bull. I'm excited to watch the rest.

I think this is much better than The Witch From Mercury. I could not get invested into that show at all. The conflict just seemed so boring. Gquuuuuux has me completely hooked though. I like the anti-establishment tone. Basically the bourgeois have completely got me here in a niche. The art commodity has been fetishised.

TBH Gundam has always underfocused on the actual consequences of the One Year War after the original series, the only UC shows that really feel like they respect consequences and like civilians since 0079 are the Origin and Hathway's Flash. This didn't really feel like it had the time to be anti war.

Melody of Oblivion / Bōkyaku no Senritsu — best anti-capitalism anime ever made. Low-autism scores will probably struggle with it though because all the messaging is under a thin layer of allegory but that’s what makes it so memorable.

It's greatest sin so far is that it's initial setup is a bit mid, but once the story gets going, even just at chapter six, it picks up like a goddamn locomotive, and a good one at that.

Please mr boomer magical girl, I await your 41st chapter

This one is not bad so far. There was one part where they couldve put a panty shot but they didnt which was nice.

In terms of physical strength and speed, saiyans aren’t really that impressive. Just look at any fight in the dragon ball series compared to what you’d get out of any other shonen or even superhero series. Saiyans need to hit each other or anything else a comically high number of times before any meaningful damage becomes visible. Their speed also caps out near or at light speed among the strongest saiyans too.

Kid goku failed to manage to do so little as scratch Yamaha each blow during their first fight. Freiza was straight up one shotting some of goku’s friends and the saiyan race pretty openly. You don’t see saiyans like vegeta or gohan performing feats like destroying entire mountains or planets as often as the viltrumites or kryptonians do in their universes. Finally, it’s known that most of the power the saiyans have don’t even come off their raw strength and speed anyways. They get their power from Ki and wishes while every other alien trains their fundamentals like crazy. The saiyans are anime’s biggest frauds to me. All that talk about power and I rarely see them use any of it.

>power level thread

>>27369
Nah. I’ll call out how unimaginably weak an entire species is in a show dedicated to constantly showing spectacles of how strong these self proclaimed gods among men are. Not a single one could touch Simon the digger.

What is quintessential /leftypol/core anime/manga? I DON'T mean "which anime are anti-capitalist/left-wing" like we're always talking about, but stuff that's kinda /leftypol/-coded even if it's not left-wing.

>NOOOO YOU CAN'T USE THIS WORD
Stfu, I'm a zoom-zoom myself, I can make fun of the term all I want. You act like the same liberal snowflakes who get offended on behalf of an identity group that doesn't actually care.

>>27341
Zomoid here! I posted >>27265 as bait, because as you should know the dilution of those terms started with gen-Xers and milennials, see steampunk and seapunk. The only coherence between hardcore punk vs digital hardcore vs hardcore techno vs any other 'core is people calling themselves the "hard core" of any broader genre, which could be said to have been used more liberally since the 2000s or 2010s, for example there being no such thing as "non-hardcore maid music". Wave on the other hand has been an ill-defined descriptor for music genres since at least the early 80s.

>>27324
Several plots in franken fran frantic are about scientists making some sort of luxury creature that later revolts, and in the OG franken fran several plots are about company men stealing ideas from Fran and running wild with it only to later be doomed as a consequence due to unforeseen side effects and whatnot.

There's also a chapter in which a child heir to a fortune is being hounded by all sorts of already rich fucks, and a character comments "why do they even want the money? they're all already rich anyway". Later a terrorist blows them all up while yelling something along the lines of "ALL YOU CAPITALIST PIGS ARE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS WORLD". Rich people are generally depicted as evil greedy degenerates that create the circumstances for their own destruction but that otherwise get away with everything.

>>27347
The irony is most of our tech, fashion, graphic design, and music have similarities over the past four decades

>>27346
Fair point but still. I find that the people who complain about liberal snowflakes are often filled with oet peeves.



 

I'm a bitter asshole who complains about anime cliches, do you know any anime that mockingly subverts anime tropes? I already know about Konosuba and One-Punch Man but I need more suggestions.
