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.

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.

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

>>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

heard they killed the yuri ship and for that i cannot forgive them

>>28576
owned

>>28576
But I'm seeing all this yuri fan art? Maybe they felt they couldn't do two yuri series in a row but that feels like a coward move.

>>28576
>>28580
Or maybe it just made more sense to the authors to not have them together? Goes to show how dogshit this season is if that's all people are talking about tbh.

>>28581
i heard the entire plot was shit and the yuri was marginally better than the straightbait

Don't know what all is available but, The Wind Rises is what came to mind.

Aggretsuko

Just watched the first episode of Salaryman Kintaro, seems like it was exactly what was looking for!
It's a little difficult to take the serious parts seriously, but it's very fun.

>>27990
I mean that the "analysis" of it are purely speculative, either wait and see or stop giving so much credit to a rather weak work

>>28054
i have seen nothing to imply this, only western people saying its based on Okinawa. all japanese discussions about this manga don't revolve around any mention of Americans, it's all about the non-existent kurd 'invasion' that's running on right-wing news stations 24/7. either way this shit is plummeting in clicks and saw some talk about it getting canned at the rate its going

>>27804
Monkes look cuter than those 2

>>27634
>the current drama in the fantasy scene right now is that fantasy is extremely popular in leftist spaces and the fascist are feeling like they arent welcome anymore
culture is so diffused now that I don't know why the whole 2000s "nerd culture demographics aren't like how I remember" thing is still a thing. Weeb spaces in particular are very seperated

>>28092
I just read an article about kurd owned restaurants getting harassed in JP and the comments were all seething about them

im interested, quick rundown on sgt frog?

Is the reason the Keroro Platoon is stronger than their rating suggests because of their decentralized nature? Though the Keron Star appears to have a very strange effect. Is the unit a test for the Keron Army?
