BUMP

patlabor 2 directed by oshii is a good movie. although, in typical japanese media fashion, it frustratingly avoids like the plague taking any sort of ideological stance, it does make an accurate assessment of the nature of the prosperity of the USA sphere of influence nations

What the fuck are you talking about anon

Patlabor 2 is honestly my favorite mecha anime and my second-favorite oshii

It says January 16 in AmeriKKKa and that the same distributor has rights for it in the UKKK, so maybe if you are lucky they will screen it there too, but I couldn't find anything about that specifically. Worst case you will have to wait until it is released on BD or streaming so that someone can rip it and put it on nyaa.

lotgh is magnificent, but certainly not for marxist political commentary lol. the worldbuilding, character depth and conflict, and political complexity, are what make this show a gem, and one of my personal fav anime of all time.

i think if you project the expectation of agreeable political philosophy onto media, *especially* as a marxist, you're setting a pretty narrow configuration for what you can and can't enjoy :P

Excellent show, give it a watch.

It really is. The stark deviation from traditional shows of the medium and the attempt to showcase the difference between a corrupt democracy and a benevolent dictatorship gives it a hand above almost everything else in the medium.
Anybody feel it predicted Trump?

it's liberalism vs fascism but you somehow end up rooting for the fascism

Reinhardt actually tried to help the people with public works/etc whenever he was in-between battles, so I'd say no.

This one kills me every time

>>29709
This looks like a manwha which honestly would make this image make more sense

>>29711
It is, chaebol daughter gets bullied/assaulted and dies so the father adopts a north Korean girl who was experimented on and is super strong and uses her to get revenge on the bullies. At least 3 people have died so far. Its called Plaything I recommend it they really fuck up some of these people

Pffftahaha

>i kinda get why an autist would like it
Self-loathing? The irredeemably evil demons are pretty blatantly autism coded.

I've only seen the anime and not the manga so I can't say if this changes in the manga but the demons are different from a lot evil races I have seen in fantasy. I think the most obvious comparison would be to Tolkien's orcs. Orcs are a cruel, savage race full of hatred of all others including there own kind, they only stop killing each other when facing down a foe they hate even more. Now let's compare that with demon society in Frieren, the thing that keeps demon in order with each other is there mana level, when one demon meets another they instantly know who is the more powerful one and which is the weaker one and thus interaction will happen with both parties knowing where they stand with out the need of bloodshed. And this causes demon society to be hierarchy with the demons with the strongest mana to be on top, this is why someone suppressing there mana would unthinkable to them. Orcs have something similar but they only know who is the strongest through bloodshed.

Now with Orcs there is the question of their humanity. In the books they are mostly treated as fodder for the heros to kill through, but Tolkien gave them some humanity. First with their creation story that they were once elves then later men taken and twisted by Morgoth into these hate filled things. And yet they still have a sense of good and bad, when Gorbag in the Two Towers comments that abandoning a comrade to be an elvish trick, ie something bad. Even Tolkien says they were rational creatures, even if they were heavily corrupted. This caused a serious dilemma for Tolkien because if they were to be treated as fodder and slaughtered with out mercy you would be just as bad the orcs you oppose. And on the other hand if they are rational beings at heart, just heavily corrupted, that leaves the door open for mercy and even redemption.

Now with Frieren the demons are shown to have no emotion and half no understanding of human concepts of right and wrong. With the main character Frieren exposing to show them no mercy and calling for their extermination. They presented as animals with mouths. And yet the story shows there is more to these creatures than under first inspection. Like when Lügner calls Fern's mana suppression a crime against magic, or Aura showing joy and later fear, and the demon child killing the mayor leaving his kid orphaned because a couple in the town lPost too long.

>fear
they show fear to create empathy onto their human ennemy
also they don't have a society,most demons basically never interact with one another unless they need more muscle,they litterally abandon their children at birth,there are no records of romantic coupling
the demon king army was as cohesive as the average skaven army,if they could flee they ran away,if they can kill another demon to claim their victories,they do.
this doesn't even end up sprouting a nonsensical society like the exemple I'm comparing them to,since there is no longer the demon king to rally a semblance of them,it ended up creating a powe vacuum so big they basically returned to the wild and no real leader rose up.
the only connection we know is that despite being monsters,and thus made of mana and just disappearing when dead,they apparently have a soul,but if someone has any idea what that imply I would like to know.
Also they more or less don't interact with each other rather than hurt each other,but we do have an example of one demon betraying another and backstabbing them
and what I say goes to the chapter 122 something so huuuuuuh

Good post

it's ashita no joe duh

LOTGH or some weird shit like revolutionary girl utena

I know this thread is a joke but I'm gonna go serious mode

if Legend of Kamui got an anime that would be it, but it didn't (and from what I've heard the live-action adaptation removed the super political elements)
>>29691
I'd say Joe's ultimately more about rejecting capitalist pursuits and shallow materialistic living in general on an individual basis, not really fighting to change the world. new left students liked the idea of Rikishi throwing away his rich high-class boxing celeb privileges to take on an outcast hobo like Joe for obvious reasons… but ultimately he did it for the individual drive to face a respected rival on equal grounds, not to dedicate himself to overthrowing the system that made Joe poor & alienated & only capable of feeling anything through boxing to begin with.

like, it's pretty shonen-brained. I guess you could say it's more anarchistic but I don't think it was offering any specific ideological solution; it doesn't even say "boxing is good" or "boxing is bad", it just shows both the self-destructive elements and how it can be a deeply validating dedication for outsiders.

It was more appealing to a general "fuck modern society" malaise felt at the time. Worth noting is Yukio Mishima was as huge a fan as the plane hijackers.
>>29692
LOTGH nah and there's already a thread. Utena not really, there's a reason the movie didn't show what the "post-revolution" world would've entailed.

It was kino, especially Day 2

What's your opinion on this autistic baddie? (ruruneneru)

>>29014
I think an llm programmed by a guy named Vedal

I'm slowly losing attachment to hololive with so much of Myth/Promise gone, even though the ones who left weren't my favorites. I'm not saying that Advent and Justice are bad, just that I've spent 5 years mostly watching the former 2 .
