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.

Recommend me a good post-2010 anime to watch while working out (nothing against older anime titles, I just already know most of those).

>>26273
You work out while watching anime? I would never do something that distracts me from following the action on screen, anime is just not the medium for that. I usually listen to music or podcasts instead.

I think pluto was nice

If you like isekai, "I used high level medicine to counter magic" is pretty good. It's about a doctor that gets sent to a world where only humans have healing magic, and all the other races are dependent on them for everything from healing minor wounds to treating cancer. MC introduces them to modern medical techniques and pisses off the human supremacist church. The art is really great and there's lots of actual medical information in it.

>>26982
>the MC defeats clerical fascism by having a medical degree
This is definitely the plot of all time.

Question: Why do posters itt find these sorts of 2d/3d proportions desirous? There are no irl people like them (which might be one), so is this really some caveman primordial drive?

>>26968
The most common thing about all these fetish threads is that they still emphasize tits, ass and thighs. So I think people develop a fetish for feet and fat women by their association with tits, ass and thighs.

I'm overworked at the moment so I'll give you the reccs a bit later when I have a spare moment for more than a cursory post. Pic rel is some basics. There's Deck Builders, Base Builders, Apocalypse LitRPG, Monster Evolution and other subgenres of LitRPG.

Sort of, but that makes Isekai start to lose meaning.

How the fuck is ATLA Lore Flexible? They don't travel to any other world unless you're counting the meditations to the Spirit World, which are more like communicating with deities than actually being in-another-world.

endless trash!!

99% of isekai don't even use the isekai idea well
Like, it gets dropped by the 2nd or 3rd episode.
So to first fix it, I'll say either use the premise to its full potential, or don't make it an isekai in the first place.

A historically chinese hairstyle for the girl on the cover, it must be the best manga ever.

Battle shonen is based. Battle shonen anime fucking sucks. But that's due to the anime not being able to keep up with the manga due to the weekly manga format. Even One Punch Man, a seinen, suffers from this (its source material is a webcomic remake published in Weekly Young Jump). A lot of manga is superior to anime, simple as (that's my hot take).
>>26060
A political hot take drawn in an anime style is not an anime hot take.

>>26170
>A lot of manga is superior to anime, simple as
Comparing two different mediums is always going to be disingenuous. Manga doesn't have to worry about a bunch of things like choreography, voice acting, sound direction, and well, animation of course.
This frees mangakas so they can spend their full working time in pursuit of drawing cool static pictures and developing their pet plots with hardly any opposition to their hot ideas, which I'm assuming is what you're interested in the most when it comes to consooming chinese cartoons.

That been said, it's absurd how sloptastic most anime is in comparison to manga, which gets even more ridiculous when you realize that the barrier of entry for making and publishing manga is on the fucking basement compared to the barrier for making and broadcasting anime.

But given this is a communist site, then I'm preaching to the choir here, we all know why it is the way it is **right?…*

Kyoto Animation (Kyoani was way better when they were a branch of kadokawa and other companies than on their own.
They went from Munto FMP, Haruhi,the Key adaptation trilogy, to mediocre (imo) stuff like Violet Evergarden,Kyoukai no Kanata, and hibike.
There was a few saving graces (Like chunnibyou) but (again imo) it was not worth terminating the shared contract.

Fujoshi are based, and I’m tired of pretending they’re not.
People don’t want to admit that fujoshi are the backbone of the otaku industry in modern times.
They support plenty of obscure seinen, shounen manga, and OG anime that no waifufags or normies fucking care about.
I’m still grateful for fujostacies because they support my obscure seinen series.
Their existence alone makes waifufags, normies, yurifags, chuds, and wokies seethe, all while they’re minding their own business and jerking off to yaoi. Fucking power move, ngl.
I’ll take Fujoshi over waifufags/NuOtakus any day, because at least Fujoshi CAN support better series.
Here’s hoping fujoGODS dominate the industry in the next decade.


Also most modern western “fujos” are trash and not tru fujos. These retards don’t even know what doujinshi is and have never spent a dime, while appropriating fujoshi culture. disgusting desu
The based western fujoshi are the ones who were former Hetaliafags, Kuroshitsuji fujos, or old-school anime fans. they're actually understand & familiar w/ otaku culture.

Everyday I pray for the day Fujos won the cultural victory, Amen.

The absolute madmen. They actually did it. They made 1000 episodes of this show where literally nothing ever advances, no characters ever change, and it's not even a sitcom. Have you ever wondered what Detective Conan fans are like? How do they think? What are their hopes and dreams?

>literally the most cop friendly, government dick riding manga ever
Sounds like it was written by a Japanese boomer, so cringe.

>>26834
The makers were just so into the Sherlock Holmes detective intuition and the James bond spy charm…and in both professions you're working for the government as a part of it's pig guards, so it comes off naturaly the show will be dickriding law and order. So, detective Conan is just SCI cop shows for weaboos.

Anime, even as it is more popular and mainstream than ever before in the West, has really lost its relevance. What do I mean? Anime doesn't really inspire people anymore. It's not a statement about its quality, but I mean its real life impact.

In the 70s, 80s and 90s anime was almost a youth movement. In the Philipines, Voltes V was a symbol against the Marcos Regime and was banned because of this. Gundam inspired millions, it caused massive quasi-political rallies of young people who followed the show's idea of a new generation building things better. The police literally had to shut this down. Then by the 2000s there was Haruhi and so on which, if maybe not so political, really did get people out onto the streets and again got the police called on them. Conventions were a serious culture. Even if anime at this point was really inbred, it still brought people out. But nowadays there's no such thing. It's not really that subversive or exciting. Conventions go on but they aren't like what they were (no yaoi paddles). We do still get like loads of children wearing Demon Slayer cosplay but it's not like Yamato. There's this energy that just isn't there anymore.

Perhaps this is because in Japan itself the street movement has died down and become so neutered? It's sort of related to how anime has lost its left wing creators. The people working in the 80s grew up in a really radical time where socialism and anti-imperialism were normal and most people directly interacted with that crowd. Naturally, even if works weren't explicitly socialist, the attitude was reflected. Nowadays that political movement is completely dead. Radicalism is hated in modern Japan. Serious topics are still covered in progressive ways, but something is lost. I don't know, lets take season 2 of GITS SAC where Hideo Kuze is just openly right, the show tells you he is correct. And then in Psycho Pass which is only 10 years later but with a completely different set of people making it who have a different philosophy (the director only really started working in the 2000s), the bad guy just does bad things and is a psychopath, and then the only reasonable option is to uphold the system when given a chance to change it. Maybe the issue here is just GITS is much better written, but I think this can explain a sort of change in anime.

It's not that radicalism can't be shown since the 2000s, its just they are always single characters acting as lone terrorists. I think tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Isn’t the show just the adventures of white base going around fucking shit up against a group that justifiably seceded? (I didn’t really watch much original gundam to be honest, this hand of mine does glow with an awesome power, though.)
The basic premise of the show is that Aryan spacenoids want to create a spacenoid master race and do away with Earth people because living in space gives you psychic powers. The show follows a good spacenoid with psychic powers fighting to stop the bad spacenoids. Hope that made it clear for yuh.

>>26158
One of the cool things about Gundam unicorn is that it briefly talks about the political dynamic between Earth and the colonies and how existential this conflict is for the Earth government because the colonies have the (theoretical) resources of the entire solar system, so Earth has to keep their boot heavily on the spacenoids' neck for as long as they can, otherwise the balance of power is going to rapidly shift.

>>26629
They do the same for music and movies.
Irony is, methinks the dumbing down of pop culture is due to people trying to make things more profound than they need to be.
As the popular saying goes: Art for Arts sake.
.most of our genuinely profound masterpieces are often made when the creators were just noodling around wanting to make something because a mood struck them.
They weren't intending to make a statement in the first place,it just happens.
Meaning is only found when you let the art speak for itself.

Fukuyama was onto something with his end of history theory, but it was Stalin who described its true nature decades prior as correctly pointing it as a period of blackest reaction.

In this era, capitalism is more insidious than ever - From the creative side, it stops being about the human spirit and becomes a vessel for mammonism up to its very core, and this trickles down not only from the investors but from the creatives themselves as they, as most people, struggle to see a way out for our modern troubles that isn't straight up apocalyptic.

And even if a work about positive societal change being good and possible gets popular, it still won't resonate with the audiences in a way that propels them into action, we're all too isolated for that to happen spontaneously nowadays.

As an aside, IBO was an excellent yet not perfect show which portrayed bottom to top change (revolution) as messy, violent and even morally unsavory, but ultimately justified and even righteous.

The main gripes I often read about it appear to be born from the same malaise affecting otaku since the '80s, as many renowned directors have observed (and lamented) them over the decades:
>constant, relentless nitpicking at inconsequential "plot holes"
>boiling rage at the ending not being happily ever after for the main cast
>obsessively watching how the plot develops through the lens of the producers (as an outsider no less)
>plot developments that otaku disagree with are derided as shitty writing no matter what
>"too little action" and too many "boring" scenes
>show had no proper waifu war bait and not enough booba

what anime directors would you like to see adapt capeshit? Hasn't gone well in the past but god damn it eventually someone's gonna make a good one

I will accept "keep capeshit away from my japanese animes" as a valid answer

imaishi

>>26783
Oh hell yeah. Imaishi would be a perfect fit for the zany side of western cape stuff. I'd love to see him do Green Lantern.

I'd like to see Koike or Oshii do something

>>26785
>'d love to see him do Green Lantern.
I'd be more interested in a Deadpool anime from Imaishi. Or even an anime starring Joker as the MC. Or Kick-Ass.
