Imagine thinking anything is "inherently" anything else. Anime developing out of a specific context does not mean that it is, intrinsically, such and such or so and so.
By this logic literally anything you consume in your day to day life under capitalism is "inherently bourgeois." Simply for the fact that you are consuming it under capitalism.

There isn't really much I would say is explicitly communist, but most of the best anime directors were involved in leftist orgs to some degree back during the student protests.

The Leader was disappointing for several reasons. It lacked visual coherence with jarring changes between cel-shaded 3D and 2D stuff. They should have made a decision what to in which way, e.g. always do the faces in 2D. Europe looked too pretty and not nearly as dirty as it was back then. I agree with you that the subject is dry.

The Leader, already discussed ITT. It's a bit unusual in that you see a lot of young Marx, since most representations are old Marx. The show got review-bombed on some Chinese website and I thought it was just ideologically motivated attacks, but after watching I have to say it really doesn't have much going for it. (Outro song is banging though.) Anything in German is totally screwed up. There's a scene where you see Marx writing Capital with weird numbers in pointy brackets. These are actually the page numbers as they appear in a HTML version. These tiny pointy things are no big deal by themselves, but their appearance is representative of the depth of understanding of the subject material and amount of care that went into the show. (Other viewers didn't like the body language and found it too Asian, though I have to say: Were you in Europe back in those day, hmmm? So maybe that wasn't off.) It also got issues with pacing.

I would also say that you not knowing of any Japanese far-left figures speaks more to your ignorance than on any real absence, considering the Japanese Communist Party has 300,000 members, dwarfing the DSA and all other left-wing or communist parties and organisations in the US combined - in a country a third of the size. By that metric alone, Japan has a much greater left-wing presence than the US.
Also, to frame the Meiji restoration as simply "the emperor retaking his throne" is again completely ignorant, and doesn't at all address why that event was significant - namely Japan becoming the first modern military-fiscal state in Asia, as well as an industrial power. I would also say that the post-war period in Japan was as defining for the contemporary culture, if not more so, than the Meiji restoration.

Before Parasite and Snowpiercer, S.Korea produced this anti-capitalist gem:
Aachi & Ssipak
> Somewhere in the future, mankind has depleted all energy and fuel sources, however they have somehow engineered a way to use human excrement as fuel. To reward production, the government hands out extremely addictive, popsicle-like "Juicybars" to citizens, which in turn also makes them constipated. Aachi and Ssipak are street hoodlums who struggle to survive by trading black market Juicybars. Through a chain of events involving their porn-director acquaintance Jimmy the Freak, they meet a porn star named Beautiful, who gets a pink ring inside her butt which makes her defecations rewarded by exceptional quantities of Juicybars. For that reason, Beautiful is also wanted by the violent blue mutants known as the Diaper Gang (led by the Diaper King), the police (most notably the cyborg police officer Geko), and others.

>>2613>movies that depicted horrors of war while definitely being pro-war propaganda<mental capacity to spew insults
- poor attempts at Veiled ad hominum

- shifting goal-posts
- no u
Wow you really are a champ at mental gymnastics to pack so much fallacy in one smart-ass sentence.
>smug posting of video<just watch this long video because I don't understand what I'm talking about
Stellar argumentation… or that is to sarcastically say, you have none.
Let me break it down WHY
We start off with the initial reply
>Imagine setting an anti-war film during WW2There is nothing implying that the film is pro-war and no explanation as to why setting it in WW2 nullifies its anti-war themes. The only conclusion to be made is that setting a film with clear depiction of the worst of war is somehow bad.
So then the goalpost is moved
>describe horrors of war all you want, but unless the character comes to the conclusion that the war [is bad], it's not anti-warWhich again is not an argument, because that is an essential part of the film even if it is not spoken. You see this in something like Platoon where different characters and their different attitudes to the war and killing are shown, with some who don't care, some who like it, but more often than not, people who hate it, but bury it under drugs, duty and survival. All of this is clearly anti-war, without exposition about "I conclude war is bad".
Then you decide to fucking move the goalposts again
>hurr a movie showing war horrors can be pro-war too!!!As if this was even up for debate at all? It has nothing to do with the initial post or its responses.
I really suggest you rewatch the video that you sent, for one I can debate some of the points being made, but even that basic understanding and analysis by The Closer Look, shows a much better understanding than your schizophrenic crying (especially since the example of an anti-war film, Saving Private Ryan, is depicted in WW2, negating the statement of Post 1).
However to further elaborate, the video uses a rather poor explanation for why American Sniper is pro-war. The idea that war is necessary sometimes or that a soldier can view his actions as right, is not Pro-war, it is neutral. Admitting that a film has grey themes but then trying to place it on either pro-war or anti-war with no neutral inbetween is contradictory.
Moreover the entire thesis relies solely on American depictions of war and omits Soviet representation of war or even European ones. The best film about Stalingrad IMO is one made by German film-makers and follows a group of German soldiers and Soviet films like Come and See are terrifyingly anti-war.
The whole "no matter what a war film can be seen as glamorous" is fucking bullshit, because a single film can only influence a viewer to a certain extent, for someone to see Full Metal Jacket and think "Oh yeah I wanna fight a war!" comes from militaristic and violence-glorifying culture of American pop-culture. It's a simple Base-Superstructure interaction.
TL;DR Your argument is nonexistant and the video does more to prove my point than your own inane rambling.
No.2615
>>2614>American SniperI forgot to elaborate. The movie is not pro-war, in the sense that it does not glorify war. A viewer may interpret it this way, but interpretation is individual and caused by the social environment a person lives in. What American Sniper is, is a pro-imperialist film, because it tries to justify invasions in the Middle East by riding on the human sympathy of a soldier's story. The difference is HOW this is depicted. In American Sniper, the soldier is glorified and portrayed as an all round patriotic, upstanding American citizen; a falsity. Full Metal Jacket does none of this, the recruits, volunteer or conscription are all a mess of gangly head-shaved youths who may or may not have patriotic feelings but are flawed humans that under actual duress of war (and even drill training) do not show life as the shining golden spectacle that we see in American Sniper. They're dirty, they act like pigs sometimes, their worst and best sides come out because its adapt or die. There is no glory, even in any depicted heroics, especially in a war like Vietnam because there isn't even the post-war conclusion that
"hey I fought for my country's freedom" like those who fought the Nazis in WW-2 could be acknowledged for.

So I was browsing the internet and came across a hilarious attempt at a an-com take of Futa-bu! which is a /d/-tier hentai. I'm gonna post it here just for fun I don't actually think its accurate myself or agree with it.
>"Futa-bu!, or Futa Club, is a Japanese pornographic animation known for featuring female characters with both male and female genitals. While it is usually dismissed as only serving erotic purposes, it has profound political undertones. It centers around the Futa club, an organization of feminine hermaphrodites, known as futanari, who freely indulge in their sexual desires. Through my own research, I believe that this is an allegory of an authoritarian socialist state from the criticial perspective of an anarchist.
>Asakura Mao is the president of the club. She has the largest penis by far, which she uses to enforce her rule and defend her position as the leader. The president is a symbol of the state. Anarchists believe that the state can only exist through coersion and violence. Instead of coercing her inferiors with an armed force such as the police, she enforces her rule using her genitals. If she chose to, she could dominate them to suppress a revolution.
>The president's name is a direct reference to Mao Zedong, further supporting the assertion that she represents the leader of an authoritarian socialist state such as communist China.
>We must ask ourselves this: Why are they hermaphrodites? Traditionally, males are seen as dominant and females are seen as submissive. Penis size becomes a symbol of the ability to dominate, while female genitals symbolize the ability to be dominated. Throughout the hierarchy of the Futa club, the most well-endowed are higher in rank.
>The other futanari are slightly lesser ranking, but hold some authority. Their positions are comparable to members of the Chinese Communsit Party, soldiers, or police officers.
>Niimura Akane is the only character who isn't a hermaphrodite. She is completely female. She represents the civilian working class, a class with no authority in the hierarchy of an authoritarian leftist state. Despite her lack of power, she is shown to be quite powerful. She excels in fallatio and she could easily have intercourse with the president. Because of Mao's long and girthy phallus, Akane wasn't expected to take it without great pain. However, she seems to feel very little pain. Mao commented that if she could take her "monster cock", she must have a "monster pussy". This represents the great power of that the proletariat hold over the state. Every far leftist is aware that the workers, or the 99%, significantly outnumber their oppressors, therefore hold extreme revolutionary potential. Akane never overthrows Mao because she lacks the will to do so. Only a class conscious proletariat can revolt.
>Futa-bu! also criticizes liberal reform. Marxists often critcize liberal reform in regards to center-left ideologies such as social democrats. Futa-bu! directs these same criticisms towards the authoritarian far left. The characters attempt to suppress Mao's power by physically restraining her and preventing her penis from being erect. However, she always manages to overcome them and enters a violent state of sexual arousal.
>In this review, I do not intend to make any political statement. I am simply analyzing the political intent behind this specific work. If you disagree with anarchism as an ideology, don't direct that towards me. If you wish to discuss this, discuss the artistic intent behind Futa-bu! and nothing else. I'm just explaining how it was used as an artistic device in this particular work."
A response to this was also amusing.
>"I think you could see a bit of a different message in Futa-bu!! ep. 2 (from the second "season"). In that episode, there is a foreign futanari who comes to challenge the club. I believe it is implied that she is American, so we could interpret her as an imperialistic invader.
>She defeats and detains all of the other girls, including Akane (even with the help of technology, the working class is helpless). It is only by the strength of president Mao that the foreigner is defeated. This seems more apologetic of the authoritarian socialist state as a means of protecting the working people against imperialism. It is notable that this is sometimes used as a historical explanation as to why socialist experiments like the USSR and PRC became so authoritarian."

Reposting my old post from /leftyweebpol/
An interesting hentai doujin with leftist ideas is called A World That I Rule by an author called rozer.
(Spoilers for the basic plot)
Its about a bully who gets transported into an alternate reality where there are indigenous elves living harmoniously in a primitive communist tribal society. He eventually develops feelings for a girl, and later envy when he sees the girl fucking another elf (all they do is fuck each other). So he manipulates them through using food and introducing the concept of private ownership. He develops a class based society, appointing himself as king, then creating nobles who have special privileges, and slaves who break his laws for taking food for trees that isn't theirs. And he sometimes justifies what he does by telling the elves that without him, "society" would crumble despite the fact that he essentially crumbled their world and it turned to chaos. Eventually he left the island and got to another where he chose to simple integrate and not rule and in doing so didn't cause any destruction. It is quite similar in some aspects to Lord of the Flies.
The most ironic thing is that literally many of the comments to the doujin were like 'that world is so nice, but fuck the MC for fucking it up!'. Which is yet another display that most people support communist ideology as long as it isn't outright called communism/socialism.
In a way this 40 chapter webcomic is a demonstration that anarchism/stateless communism can't work when not in a bubble. Something to note in the original Communist theory is that the steps are usually a transition of capitalism to socialism and then to communism (which is stateless). However something many people seem to forget is the concept of global socialism. In other words, for communism to be achieved and not be disrupted as with these elves, the entire world needs to be FIRST SOCIALIST and then be edged into communism. In the webcomic the MC leaves to a new island and learns from his mistake… but we don't have another planet comparable to Earth to flee too, so humanity can't afford to burn it down, we need to know better.

I'm still salty that the author's take on the whole thing was (if Saki represents his view, that is) that everything the psyker humans did was justified because muh human potential (at least this was the justification given in the book by Saki, the show just skips to her happily breeding murdercats with no second thoughts).

>>3574But Mao isn't some tyrannical president fucking others into submission, in fact she's pretty reluctant into performing sexual activities unless excited by others. Her position as president just comes about because she has the biggest dick while Sumika (glasses girl) is pretty much the real leader of the club recruiting new members and organizing club activities.
As for Akane, she's not some poor oppressed girl being raped by everyone, she willingly joined to be the club's living onahole.

Kumeta is a disillusioned and grumpy old leftist and the Japanese left during his youth coalesced around nationalism in opposition to imperial America, cryptofascist right-wing elements that formed the postwar anti-Soviet government with America's blessing, and the examples of American-funded fascism in South Korea and Taiwan before the post-cold war reforms.

Most anime are reactionary and centrist shit. You're in the wrong medium if you want leftist takes. Any otaku medium is inherently anti-leftist for that matter. It's just otakus trying to get off to moe girls.

>>1658 >>4278 >>4279 Speaking of GATE, while the actual anime is pretty much military propaganda and nationalism - seriously the latter half is just Japanese corporations committing imperialist exploitation as a bid to get free of the USA as a background to the MC's harem - there are some really good fanfics using the USSR as an interesting alternative, with the idea being Communist Revolution etc.
Unfortunately most of these fanfics are Russian, on ficbook.net because English-speaking fanfic authors can't write the USSR without pulling a Red Dawn or having awful grammar and pacing.
- Soviet Union circa 1939 gets invaded near Stalingrad and gets repelled by Soviet forces alerted by the Militia (only begun, 2 long chapters):
https://ficbook.net/readfic/10855889 - AU Soviet Union that won the Cold War and got its space efforts to already build on Mars and the Moon accidentally creates a portal to the world of GATE when attempting to create a portal to their moon base( 10 long chapters, incomplete):
https://ficbook.net/readfic/10384051 - 1960s USSR with Catgirls proceeds to steam roll and bring Communism to the Empire, freeing the people (nearly complete, sequel in progress):
https://ficbook.net/readfic/7692575 sequel -
https://ficbook.net/readfic/9229513 Another fic that's sort of GATE like but is the USSR in the Avatar Last Airbender World (season 2) brining peace and communism to the lands ravaged by war:

>In any case, Kajiwara Ikki's hugely influential sports trinity of the late '60s (Star of the Giants, Tomorrow's Joe, Tiger Mask), transformed Weekly Shounen Magazine from something read by only kids into acceptable reading material for college students. While the main characters Hyuuma and Tiger Mask of Star of the Giants and Tiger Mask were popular, it was particularly Yabuki Joe that many Dankai youths who participated in the student protests of the '60s identified with.
>The tale of the so-called Yodogō Group — the members of Sekigun-ha (Red Army Faction) who carried out Japan’s first ever airplane hijacking in 1970 — is a strange one. The surviving hijackers, if they hadn’t tried to commandeer a JAL airplane and fly it to Cuba, would be collecting their pensions by now. Instead, they are stuck in limbo in North Korea, unable to return to Japan.
>But even stranger than their lofty ambitions, perhaps, was their choice of language. When they announced their remarkable stunt, they finished off the grandiose proclamations of world revolution with a curious phrase: Ware ware wa ashita no jō de aru (We are Ashita no jō). This is a reference to a popular manga at the time and was the leftists’ way of communicating that they were the Everyman; at heart, they were just ordinary former college kids. And like the eponymous Joe, they were fighters.

>>9823I love this kind of artstyle, older anime really had uniqueness compared to modern stuff, where each anime has the same generic face design.
Back in the 60s and 70s the Japanese Youth were really revolutionary, no wonder they identified with such based stuff.
