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.



 

Do you read/watch battle manga/anime? Which one's your favorite? What about battle seinen?

Also, do you think battle seinen is less cliched or it just has more gore and yuri? Would popular series like Dragon Ball have come out better if it shifted to a seinen magazine? Because in the case of JoJo its writing became more complex once it switched.

My headcanon is that Ozai was sexually abused by his father as a child and never got help, and this is part of the reason he ultimately had became such a monster.

I would say this is believeable both because Fire Nation is a pastiche of Edo Japan and Imperial Japan, first of which is one of the infamous examples of pederasty-tolerant societies, and the second of which is infamous for perhaps commiting more wartime rape over the course of a single war than any other society in history, and because from what little we had seen of him, Fire Lord Azulon seems like the type of person to whom it would be not out of character to molest his younger son.

Now live with this, you all.

ok…

This 1st chapter for new manga came out and it has certainly made a impression on western anime fandom. They are claiming it is racist, xenophobic, etc. And honestly, I can see it, with the characters saying some similar language to said people. But someone also brought up as an anti-west or anti-colonialist themes, with them being against the occupation of their planet. Ultimately, its barley 1 chapter out, so I don't want to judge it just on this

>The whole car scene with the alien getting away with crime is a Japanese right-winger talking point with kurds having access to cars and crashing them, supposed mass crime and gangs, and believing the media is covering for them
Or it's a reference to American soldiers getting away with fatal hit-and-runs in Okinawa which has happened multiple times.
Ultimately none of us can tell what's going on in the mangaka's head, but I guess it's fair to say that if you write a story trying to communicate something (seems to clearly be the case here) but the audience has zero idea of what you're trying to say you probably fucked up somewhere.

Bruh, you really feel for the nostalgia cool-aid.
Bruh, people always sought out things to be mad about.
When comic books first came out, adults were buying them to showcase its "corruptive influence on the youth."

Bruh, you guys trying to make it out to be somekimd of anti imperialist series lmao. It seems to me that there is something up with mc and that she is making shit up about getting “beaten” in first chapter there are like 3 times hse gets “hit” but we never get to see it happen, just the result.

When I was a wee lad I read Katawa Shoujo and ended up really liking Emi. She hit all the right spots for me personality wise. I finished her route with the impression that she was supposed to be the token tomboy among the main girls. To my astonishment, when I went on the Katawa Shoujo forum I found out that other people did not consider her a tomboy. How? She's the athletic, bold, energetic girl who likes to play rough. Did I not just describe a tomboy? Is it because she doesn't "look" like a tomboy? Ridiculous. It was as if at some point I had been transported to bizarro world where the word tomboy had been hijacked by pathetic fetishists who now tied the word tomboy to physical appearance.

As the years went by I found myself highly attracted to 2D girls with varying types of what are culturally seen as masculine qualities. Like the aforementioned athletic, bold, energetic, likes to play rough but also aggressive, assertive, emotionally reserved, brash, vulgar, messy, short-tempered, rhetorical, analytical, philosophical, gluttonous, as lustful as a man and so on. In other words, women who behave like the worst and best of male cultural stereotypes. Do they "look" like tomboys? Some do. But even then I have nothing in common with the pathetic fetishists, the most egregious and possibly loudest of which circlejerk over 2D girls who only "look" like tomboys and otherwise do not deviate much from the assumed average girl who on top of that unironically fantasize about turning said "tomboy" into a traditional 1950s cooking, breeding and raising servant (read: wife).

Don't believe me? Give a definition for the word tomboy. Then objectively think of all the fictional girls who come to your mind that fit that definition. How many have you never thought of as tomboys?

It's not just the word tomboy that is being systematically destroyed by pathetic fetishists. The word gyaru did not simply refer to physical appearance alone, but a whole subculture. To be a gyaru it's not enough to dress the part, you also have to act the part else you're a poser right? That's how subcultures work. Gals are stereotypically vain, airheaded, trendy, extroverted, socially intelligent, gold diggers, Americaboos and so on. Today? Shy gyaru. Awkward gyaru. Recluse gyaru. Tomboy gyaru. Normal girl gyaru. Otaku gyaru. Of course a character turning out to be different from expectation is funny on the occasion, but when every gyaru is effectively a poser gyaru thPost too long.

Although the show is far from perfect, I enjoyed it, reminding me of older, darker samurai media, and the main character is a total Tomboy. Episode 5 especially hit hard.

I know this meme has sort of passed at this point, but every time I see leanbeefpatty and particularly the "mildly muscular women think they're gods/know your place" picture or its illustrated variants, I recalled this thread and the discussion about fit short-haired girls not necessarily equivocating tomboys.

>>24711
Legendary theory thread is legendary.

I will never stop thinking about stupid shit.

0. The "tomboy fetish" as we call it does not exist as a single category. The term might perhaps be appropriate in the minority of cases where it can be considered one manifestation of the general androgyny fetish (another being a fetish for male or female crossdressers, flamboyant men, etc.). Rather, in most cases, a "tomboy fetish" is a coincidence of related fetishes such as muscles, short hair, etc., which tend to be associated with a few major personality or physical traits.

1. Attraction to tomboys is paradoxically often commensurate with an attraction to certain particular aspects of femininity. This is most obvious with the strong muscle "mommy" archetype. The woman's unabashed strength and assertiveness are explicitly tied to the traditional nurturing, motherly aspect of femininity. Another example is the popular archetype of the Artoria-esque female knight: quiet, dignified, gentle and graceful, qualities that are often attributed to male nobles but far more often are befitting of female ones. A "female king" seems more naturally capable of the kind of warm, comforting presence that propaganda often attributed to monarchs.
This ties into the idea of the "beautiful fighting girl", a common trope in Japanese media and often present even in anime that is quite sexist or rejects the notion of women filling male gender roles. In these strange cases the point of the show is not to promote the idea of female strength, but to indulge in the fantasy of a protector who is at once competent and comforting.

2. All this only addresses one aspect of the tomboy fetish, which is strength (physical or otherwise). Another aspect is vulgarity, particularly profanity, but also manifesting in certain fashion choices, unabashed sexuality, etc. In these cases it seems the attraction lies in the explicit flouting of feminine norms; unlike in 1., it can be said in this case that if these norms didn't exist, neither would the fetish (if everyone is naked all the time, nudity ceases to be erotic). In this case the attraction boils down to the thrill of rebellion and defying taboos, a fundamental component of many fetishes. Furthermore, since all people are some combination of masculine and feminine traits, even the idea of *which* masculine traits and in what quantity result in a "tomboy" (and thus to the perception of flouting of femininity that is necessary for this fetish) will be heavily relatPost too long.

1. on this I'll agree that there's an element of ageism involved
2. It's the live-and-learn part of a person's life. It's when a person basically has to feel out for themselves how to connect with people. When it goes wrong, it messes them up

>>26674
Methinks the real reason why bad relationships mess up people is because the pre-existing expectations of how relationships are "supposed to go".
Romantic love if we were to really examine it from a detached perspective is probably more selfish and destructive than lust.
Lust is at least easily relieved by rubbing the genitals.
Romance is not .
It's about trapping people into an eternal movie.
It's about trying to recreate your favorite movies and books, willfully ignoring or rejecting your partners for not looking/sounding/acting according to your impressions.

>>26675
You’ve never actually been in love, have you?

That’s not what it’s like. You’re describing just toxic assholes.

>>26711
Well, then most humans are toxic assholes then.
Not all faux pas is caused by willful toxicity.

It can be just due to honest to god rigid impressions.

>>26725
>most humans are toxic assholes
YES.

Am I overreacting if I just got irrationally angry when watching Youtube Poop (YTP) when in the middle of the YTP, Stalin appears and sends main characters to do forced labor, and then there is a "dark humour gulag forced labor montage" but the soundtrack used is music from THIS Simpsons couch gag?

Why tf did I say this? The Marxist classification of humans absolutely can be essentialist if you're doing it wrong. Tankies do it all the damn time.

Just reminded me of Love Hina
Fuckin hate that anime/manga. Not only is it harem its just cringe.

>>26645
>Not only is it harem its just cringe.
And Love Hina is touted as a classic…

>>26650
Classic shit
Reread a few chapters and its abysmal how bad it is.

>>26650
It IS a classic, in the sense that everything you don't like about harem anime, Love Hina is directly responsible for.

Post Disney movie from which, in your opinion, the company's work had truly stopped being even historically progressive and had became a full-time force of reaction.

In my opinion, it''s this movie, for it's actually objectively more racist portrayal of Native Americans than the caricutare orcish barbarians from Peter Pan, which had kickstarted the trend of Disney trying to "represent" non-European peoples in a supposedly progressive, but de-facto very distorted and tokenised way, for liberal brownie points and profit. And also for kickstarting the toxic trend of blaming all of a racism and opression in a given society on a single super mean and evil guy(TM).

>the company's work had truly stopped being even historically progressive
When were disney movies ever progressive except in a technical or artistic sense? Bambi, the jungle book, snow white, fantasia 2000 and pete's dragon are ecofascist, the lion king does bold-faced race essentialism and almost all of them shove in monarchist propaganda in some way.

>>26336
Fun fact, the voice actor for Pocahontas's dad wrote an essay about how writing is anti native American, that Marxism has nothing of value for Indians, and was nominated by the Libertarian party to run for president in the 80s.

>>26344
iirc Means is fairly controversial amongst the native community. It would make sense that the one guy from AIM who gets good MSM coverage is also an anticommunist bootlicker tho

>>26345
>the native community
Burgerbrained brainrot, there are many native communities, all speaking different languages and all having different traditions, and yet some autistics on the Internet dare claiming to represent "le natives?" This is just liberal tokenism all over again.

Bruh, Disney was built upon whitewashing old nursery tales
