4chinz is dead so I might as well try some new place.
What do you think of the most popular "antiwar but cool mecha fighting is still cool" series? Of course we can also talk about the new show currently airing

GQux is interesting. Tsurumaki is definitely directing the hell out of it, and it's got that trademark Khara Weird-And-Offbeat Grunge (TM), and it sets up its mystery effectively enough that I'm interested to see where it goes. That said, I'm definitely not the target audience, this is definitely a show for teens and undergrads, so I can only connect to the main plot so much. I find the subplot involving Chalia looking for Char more interesting

Why people seek the opinions of artists is beyond me. I'm just here for the art man.

>>27973
i mean it's odd as tomino worked alongside yasuhiko to create gundam who was a diehard anti war commie at the time

You know how whenever there's anime primarily aimed at male audiences with romance as a core element, there's always some quotient of dudes responding to it like this? I've long held that these sure are some joyless ghouls, but after some deliberation, I think it's even worse… Most of you are hopefully aware of how much denigration romantic content aimed at women has seen through the ages and even today. Because if women like something but men don't, clearly that something must be of "low value". The whole thing is obviously deeply rooted in misogyny.

Even today, romance in fiction is a very "girl-coded" interest. Thus if a man happens to like romance, eventually they're going to run into toxic masculinity denigrating them for it. How they'll "get no bitches and stack no paper". A mere interest in romance makes them "weak". And it's incredibly obvious how surface level these kind of judgments are. These dudes see "romance" and just refuse to look any further due to toxic masculinity and misogyny.

Any romance that isn't shonen is better on average I think, with a few exceptions (usually more comedic like Shikimori or action/romance like Dandadan or something). Even hentai is better. And not like yaoi is not rapey compared to shoujo/josei/seinen either.

>>26142
Idk. Most romance kinda sucks because they try to hard to make it comical.

I actually prefer shonen romance though the more sincere kind.

>>26020
>Ya know, maybe teen manga is shit in general then.

Maybe because they look down on the demographic they're peddling to?
Also. Alot of that shit is just as common if not more so in adult manga

Stop patronizing female fans for not having tastes that align with your idealized impression of women.

I swear to God, gynophilia is a cognitive disorder amongst LeftyPol patrons.

>>19444
The average guy watching anime has never had sex let alone experienced romance. It's like asking why women aren't into stories about some guy that's a lonely nobody that aimlessly drifts through life.



 

There's probably something significant about this being one of his few "unnecessary" emotions I'm not grasping—if I wanted to be a real /lit/fag about it I could talk about Guts being able to literally take the art out of him turning him into a(no longer metaphorical) fairy but I think that thought in and of itself is the discussion

Were Guts and Griffith in love. I think yes.

>>27733

I can't think of a gayer character in fiction

>>27762
Guts or Griffith ?

>>27733
That requires a discussion of whether Griffith's feelings are or were ever truly his own, which I'm not prepared to have

>>27784

Griffith.

Copyright shills, explain this.

It's sad that it's due to copyright, imagine if someone wrote lyrics that goes so hard that they cannot be published.

Have you ever read Kutsuzure Sensen?
I really liked this manga and I think this would be a nice place to talk about it.

I also started reading Taiho to Stamp, so I guess we can talk about Rasenjin works on general on this thread… do you like his mangas?

I loved it. Kinda wish it was longer but then again its perfect as is. I need to reread it again for more reaction pics
Is the authors other works worth reading?

>>27701

Kutsuzure Sensen is his only fully translated work, sadly. But a scanlation group recently picked up Taiho to Stamps.

Right now I'm reading the first chapter and it is not as funny as Kutsuzure Sensen but still cool, it seems Rasenjin wants to flesh out characters on the longrun.

Also he is working right now on a manga setted on Stalingrad but as I said before his only translated works are Stamps and Kutsuzure. Hope he gets popular and more groups pick up his work, the man makes really good stuff.

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.

>>26879

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

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!!!

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.
