he's a lib though because her employer is ultimately a good person and in the end there are no villains. whatever class reading you make unto his movies will be flawed in some way because miyazaki is no sort of leftist and certainly never intended any overtly societally radical message in his works. his movies are about growing up (conforming to and finding your place in society)

The man has literally called himself a socialist and was active in organizing animator's unions with the help of the JCP

>in the end there are no villains.
That's not incompatible with marxist worldview.

I like Dandadan but you completely failed to elaborate on why it rises above what's uninteresting about those clichés lol.

Better site-relevant question: are the (((Space Globalists))) a rightoid dogwhistle, a jab at imperialism, or just the show incorporating conspiracy culture stuff the way it usually does with no real world allegory intended

"necrobump" is not a thing here, don't worry.

does anybody know of any good wuxia shit, or just any good chinese anime in general? i watched mo dao zu shi and i really liked it

Insane animation here. Apparently it's based off a short two dudes made some years ago and bilibili decided to dump money on it

I'll still hate on donghua for relying on cheap 3D animation and the same recycled LitRPG fantasy setting to cut costs and lasting for several seasons just so the advertizers can milk all the money from running their shitty water bottle ads in-between 10-minute episodes. But there are pleasant exceptions like the one >>26517 mentioned.

Is there like a site that streams Chinese stuff? I had viki but it was mid and I don't remember there being animated stuff
I heard Fei Ren Zai got animated but I don't know where to see it besides youtube

because it's popular with everyone and that includes dumbass zionists. what a stupid question
>>26328
you guys get depressed too but it's because you say stupid shit like "one punch man is homophobic" and base your life around how such observant commentary proves you have genius media literacy
>>26364
practically everyone who drew sexy and/or violent stuff used to be some form of leftist in the past. maybe if today's leftists like the modern JCP didn't go all in on the scolding, Murata wouldn't have done that. yeah it's selfish to care about comic books more than whether the government cares for its people in general, but that's how humans are and you gotta know how to appeal to them. if no dumb puritanism came with it and they supported manga, he'd likely support the japanese left.

the homophobic manga with speed of sound sonic in it to give the male readers boners

>Yaoi being coined by right-wingers doesn't mean it's right-wing or that yaoi writers are right-wing.
that's how the culture war brain works though. "media" needs to belong 100% to the left or right.

I'd argue he was always better than most, because even the earliest OPM chapters show great aesthetic sense despite being wonky as hell technically and to me having good aesthetic sense is the most important part.

I don't think OPM would've caught on if it was made with stiff XKCD stickfigures and only driven by writing. the fun visual vibes it gave off, even with the "rock bottom technical ability" early stuff, is part of the appeal.

ok I guess I shouldn't have said "you guys" and smugly generalized the board while trying to sound above it all, especially not including that specific anon in my generalization. but to elaborate I do think SOME of you have this idea about fiction where it defines everything & being neurotic about it is almost like the key to politics. no there's nothing in OPM that encourages zionism. last I checked his twitter, I recall ONE was actually kinda interested in Muslim culture? it might be different memories melding together and I can't check anymore (since dumbshit Elon privatized likes & can't even let you opt in to show them off), but it was something that stuck in my head.

pic is relevant to my other point (and I think his earliest OPM art showed he had the taste to improve this way from the get-go) but it's worth noting assistants obviously helped him a bunch of the backgrounds in OPM and probably other stuff. I recall him being cool about crediting them though and he clearly built hugely upon his own ability over the years too.

>>26375
>his art sucks
>>26388
>not anymore

you people are both pleb as fuck, ONE is and has always been a much better artist than Murata, who is merely an skilled technical illustrator

>>26485
I've gone past my initial contrarianism of looking down on Murata because of the "ONE can't draw, he can only write" meme opinion, I do think he's a good artist, but the Mob Psycho anime is a far better approach to making ONE's art marketable to the mainstream. Koya58's Mob manga ads are peak though:

At least right-libertarian even if not leftist, the conservatards unleashed a full-on war in the late 20th century when they were in power, and Jack Thompson is still the name that gives shivers to all gamers worldwide (except Christians who only play Mario and Sonic).
>he was always better than most, because even the earliest OPM chapters show great aesthetic sense
True, they had that charming MS Paint feel to them and were still pretty detailed. They looked like those funny MS Paint animations on YouTube with a somewhat sketchy appearance.
>his paneling was always great
Japs are panelling wizards in general, their print format, cultural isolation and dedication to their craft force them to be.
>that's how the culture war brain works though. "media" needs to belong 100% to the left or right.
That's also a very idealist look at the world since leftism and rightism are ideas instead of actual material conditions. In reality people's ideas are a mix of both because of the complex material conditions they find themselves in.

Maybe you should watch it again, the anime portrays the media as a positive force that saves Mima from Rumi.

Battle shonen is an overused flagship product in anime

doesn't it have something to do with crunchyroll and expanding market demographics? same as pop music and netflix slop

Humans misusing technology because of a conflict of interests isn't a plot hole.

>the writing, messages and characterization fall apart over some irrelevant technicality
Do autists really?

NERV developed the Evangelions (Evas) for several reasons, despite the existence of powerful weapons like the N2 mine that can destroy an Angel:

1. N2 Mines Are Limited and Specific: While an N2 mine can indeed destroy an Angel, it's not a versatile solution for all situations. The N2 mine is an area-of-effect weapon, meaning it requires precise deployment and can't always be used in the right conditions. Additionally, NERV couldn't rely on it as a consistent or sustainable method of dealing with Angels, especially since it's not a mobile or adaptable tool.

2. Angels' Variety and Resilience: Angels are extremely diverse in terms of abilities, size, and resilience. Many Angels are not easily destroyed by conventional weapons. Some have regenerative abilities, like the Fourth Angel (Shamshel) and the Ninth Angel (Matarael), making them difficult to defeat with standard methods. Evas, with their combination of advanced technology and human piloting, were designed to deal with the specific threats posed by each Angel.

3. Need for Tactical Flexibility: The Evas were designed for combat against an unpredictable and highly dangerous enemy. Their combination of strength, agility, and the ability to use weapons in various situations allowed them to respond dynamically to threats, something that N2 mines or other static weapons couldn't do. The Evas could fight and adapt to the Angels in real-time, whereas an N2 mine can only be deployed in a limited set of conditions.

4. The Importance of Human Pilots: The Evas are not just tools of war; they are also meant to be controlled by human pilots, giving NERV a strategic advantage in terms of decision-making, adaptability, and combat innovation. The human mind behind the controls of an Eva is far more flexible and capable of assessing and responding to the unique threats posed by each Angel, something static weapons like the N2 mine cannot do.

5. Lack of Reliable Angel Detection: Often, the Angels arrive unexpectedly or in places where traditional military assets are not readily available. The Evas, on the other hand, could be mobilized quickly to respond to Angel threats wherever they appeared, which made them more reliable in defense than relying solely on conventional weapons.

You think letting the entire planet fucking die over an aversion to bombs shouldn’t be considered a plot hole? Given how much was built up in the plot, the mechs should’ve been used as a last resort tool. Ffs, the UN was proven capable of killing three different angels without deploying a single angel in the first half of the series. Four if you count that diamond shaped fucking thing.

Anno wants people to watch Ultraman more than he wants people talking about Evangelion "subverting" "tropes".

I love the 2000s aesthetics. For me Animax is halla nostalgic. And as a waifu, here is Sui Feng from old school Bleach, I just love her.

>>26425
God dang anon i thought she's a dead waifu by now, glad we still remember sui feng. Too bad she acked too early.

If Tokyo's boomers' complaints are as petty as getting annoyed at based Kansai people then I'm not even surprised. One nuke was enough but Hiroshima was the wrong target.

Could Sovietist Japan prevent this?

It feels like the nipponese animation industry will never get back to 2005-2010 level quality. Looking through seasons from back then, it seems as though most anime were held to a much higher standard of creative quality compared to the past 2 years at least. There were 20-30 anime released per season, instead of literally fucking 50. And the worst of otaku slop was relegated to a few shows per season, instead of having like 40% of shows be the most boring romcom you can imagine or some variant of narou-style litrpg fantasy. The kind of decent premise and execution we see in the best anime today was normal for the time. And I'm not sure if this is a recent trend, but original anime and adaptations tend to do terribly in terms of audience reception, the otaku slop actually works in capturing fots audiences.
The worst part is, all of this is happening against the backdrop of the extreme exploitation faced by japanese animators. They're being made to release 50 anime per season, and most of it won't become something that will be remembered past the end of its run time.
