Any fans here?

years ago.

Loved them all. Be warned of adult themes.

His artstyle is so unique and amazing. I'm reading Joshi Kouhei right now. It's about some Evangelion-ish future where men pilot these giant robots from another dimension that look like Japanese schoolgirls but eventually they get psychotic and think they're actually schoolgirls.

Who wins?

What has caused the harem to almost become the default relationship in anime?

Not a fan. Even with all the crazy shit I can accept in anime, this is generally a level of blatant wish fulfillment nonsense that just fully takes me out of it.

Do not read Welcome to the NHK, No Longer Human, all of Haruki Murakami, etc. Worst mistake of my life.

has anybody else played LMR? i feel like im the only english speaker who did, or at least the only one that liked it going off the polarized reviews.

made by the same team as Everlasting Summer, it feels like an early 1900s russian novel in anime form. the protagonist is the quintessential antisocial superfluous man forced to confront his own pathetic shadow after his comfortable life of monotony is stolen from him, replaced by the threat of death at the hands of a political/corporate conspiracy looming over his shoulder 24/7.

my favorite theme of the story was its emphasis on the material conditions of the main characters. as the "Money" in the name implies, the wealth/class positions and divisions between them are constantly stressed. One heroines route delves into full on class warfare in which you kidnap the heiress to a company, another abuses drugs and frequently overdoses to cope with her lack of efficacy, etc.

all in all its a pretty solid story, though its clear they used a ton of russian words/phrases that don't translate properly so at times the dialogue can feel a bit choppy. the worst for me was a certain heroine who, while basically having no relevance/screentime if you dont go down her route, is a focal obsession of the main character regardless and the constant references to her get pretty grating at times. theres also sex if youre into that.
8/10

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

How would you go about fixing the Isekai (sub?)genre from its current state of mediocrity and stagnation?
