/anime/ - Anime

Also, Shintaro Kago stuff which uses extreme scatological/sadistic humor to satirize subjects which are often associated with Japanese conservatism (he has a whole manga literally shitting on the Empire of Japan)

Every time I see the "-core" suffix I think of hardcore techno, hardcore punk, metalcore or porn. Wtf is happening with the English language?

the consequences of zoom zooms adding the suffix core/punk/wave to literally anything

I think this is enough

Commoncore education and its consequences have been a disaster for the Anglo race.

literally anything the author of kaiji does is pretty /leftypol/core.

>< it has Tomoko
True, very pertinent.
>< it has Zerotwo
Okay you lost me.

I think One Piece despite its themes is too cheery and wide-eyed, same reason I didn't want to include any Ghibli stuff. Also idk there's plenty of anime where the underdog just joins the overdogs and it's left at that (like MHA). The others are good picks though.
>>27288
Agree, Strongest Legend Kurosawa in particular.

Zennials were calling stuff like waffles "scenecore" decades ago.

franken fran shits on capitalism like 16 different times, not subtly at all sometimes (which is weird because it feels more rightoid coded in the first chapters)

KLK is obvious right? Like it's not necessarily "leftist" in anything but a superficial sense but the way it aestheticizes revolt and liberation is pretty appealing and less restrained than something like One Piece
Torn on whether TTGG should count but I think you could make a similar argument
LoGH is hardly leftist but I think the way it discusses and integrates politics appeals to most of us
I think Ping Pong has a lot of fans here. It might be too optimistic but I think ultimately it's about alienation from one's passions, which resonates with a lot of us in a way that your standard anti-capitalist fiction doesn't

>Zennials were calling stuff like waffles "scenecore" decades ago.
The term "scenecore" is also associated with metalcore in my head, this is revisionist history.

Clearly a huge time period.

Lupin III? And not Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood? Smh smh.
>Evangelion TV
HOW?

>>27315
>Clearly a huge time period.
certainly not a new phenomenon and way longer than zoomers have had any cultural influence

>>27320
>way longer than zoomers have had any cultural influence
Where is this cultural influence that I supposedly have? I didn't ask for TikTok or zoomer perm to be trendy. The real cultural influence is still that of the bourgeoisie, read Gramsci plz.

>>27321 {me)
Also, what is popular does not easily seperate into generational cohorts since I'm not necessarily into the same shit the later zoomers are into.

i was gonna type a long response explaining how you seem to have misunderstood this entire conversation but honestly you're being really faggy right now bro, i hope this isn't how you talk to people in real life

Some lesser-known candidates
>Blaster Knuckle
<violent manga about a black guy in 19th century USA killing KKK demons. Obviously none of us are that cool but it's something we can vibe with
>Abandon the Old in Tokyo and Trash Market
<really miserable prole stories
>Guerilla High
<old Nagai manga about students rebelling against a hilariously violent and tyrannical school system, feels like a predecessor to Kill la Kill
>>27302
Flag is a great pick, I'm guessing Gasaraki has a similar feel since it's apparently from the same director? I never watched it.
>>27298
Refresh my mind a lil, I don't remember any moments like that.

>Muh zoom zoom

You know, you guys really started the whole shit that you hate zoomers for doing.

Also, "zoom zoom" is a dumb term.

>>27323
This is how most people talk online though, never in real life

>>27341
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T USE THIS WORD
Stfu, I'm a zoom-zoom myself, I can make fun of the term all I want. You act like the same liberal snowflakes who get offended on behalf of an identity group that doesn't actually care.

>>27341
Zomoid here! I posted >>27265 as bait, because as you should know the dilution of those terms started with gen-Xers and milennials, see steampunk and seapunk. The only coherence between hardcore punk vs digital hardcore vs hardcore techno vs any other 'core is people calling themselves the "hard core" of any broader genre, which could be said to have been used more liberally since the 2000s or 2010s, for example there being no such thing as "non-hardcore maid music". Wave on the other hand has been an ill-defined descriptor for music genres since at least the early 80s.

>>27324
Several plots in franken fran frantic are about scientists making some sort of luxury creature that later revolts, and in the OG franken fran several plots are about company men stealing ideas from Fran and running wild with it only to later be doomed as a consequence due to unforeseen side effects and whatnot.

There's also a chapter in which a child heir to a fortune is being hounded by all sorts of already rich fucks, and a character comments "why do they even want the money? they're all already rich anyway". Later a terrorist blows them all up while yelling something along the lines of "ALL YOU CAPITALIST PIGS ARE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS WORLD". Rich people are generally depicted as evil greedy degenerates that create the circumstances for their own destruction but that otherwise get away with everything.

>>27347
The irony is most of our tech, fashion, graphic design, and music have similarities over the past four decades

>>27346
Fair point but still. I find that the people who complain about liberal snowflakes are often filled with oet peeves.
