>>1985 Yes, the Japanese animation industry has roots in Showa fascist recuperation of Constructivist film theory (imported from the Soviet Union) to create Disney-like propaganda films. But this unifying principle crumbled in the post-war occupation; so much in fact, it's worth noting that Osamu Tezuka was once a member of the Japanese Communist Party, and many more animators were active in the New Left movement throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Fact is, the Japanese government specifically subsidizing animated film and television that promotes a "Cool Japan" to international audiences is still a pretty recent phenomenon. I'm talking within the past 10-15 years; 20 if you want to get technical. Japan in the 1990s alone was busy debating on whether or not anime turned you into a child rapist serial killer and caused mass epileptic seizures, so I have trouble accepting that it's all just "porky propaganda"

>>1989 Yeah! Tezuka's politics can be hard to pin down though. He started his own magazine after seeing the success of Garo, which had become known for publishing another leftist ninja/samurai manga, Kamui Den and other more avant-garde stuff. Hell, judging by their respective publication dates, Kamui might have even influenced Tezuka to make Dororo, but I can't say for certain.

Reposting from the

I have a question about Jiraiya Gouketsu Monogatari. Naruto made the character pretty well known and popular, however the original story is pretty old, and I was wondering how well known the character was in Japan prior to Naruto's popularization of him.
Besides the 1921 silent film (video 1 related)
I found the following references in media before Naruto got published
- Jiraiya- A character that appears in the novel " Jiraiya Ninpocho " by Futaro Yamada, which began serializing in September 1964 . A character with the name of Tsunade also appears in the work.
- Jikaminari也- 1966 publication of Toei of special effects era feature film " The Magic Serpent hero of". Tsunade also appears.
- Commander Jiraiya- A character that appears in the TV anime " Invincible Steel Man Daitan 3 " broadcast from June 1978 to March 1979 .
- Magnetic Raiya- The main character of Toei 's special effects drama " Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya, " which was broadcast from January 1988 to January 1989 .
- Jiraiya (read "Jiraia") The character in the Hudson game "Far East of Eden" series and the main character of the first game " Far East of Eden ZIRIA ". Characters with the names of Tsunade and Orochimaru also appear in the work.
- Jirayan- A character that appears in the TV anime "Karakuri Kengoden Musashi Road" that was broadcast from October 1990 to September 1991.
- Ninja Black Jiraiya- Ninja who appears in Toei's special effects drama " Ninja Sentai Kakuranger "broadcast from February 1994 to February 1995. A setting called the descendant of Jiraiya who appears in "Jiraiya Goketsutan".

>>1855 Japan was a hyper feudalist society rivalling that of europe, the country was mostly subdued and revaltively peaceful so the warrior-aristocrat caste fell into irrelevancy and the petite-booj flourished which allowed it to transitition so well into capitalism but since petit-booj class intetest is conservative in the face of imperialism fascism would be its last stand in vain.

I don't know how accurate the game "Ghost of Tsushima" is in portraying feudal Japan, but one thing they game highlights at the end is how the "cod of honor" of the samurai was a covert way for cementing the class rule of the Shogun. The MC gets sperged on by the Samurai throughout the game for not only being "without honor" but also for teaching the peasants to fight themselves and resist their "leaders". I can imagine this to have happened in a similiar fashion back then tbh

Minimata and the tragedy of the death factory covered by Suren
BadComedian 3 months ago (edited):
''Начал подготовку к обзору фильма ЧЕРНОБЫЛЬ и посмотрел картину про ещё одно загрязнение природы, а именно - про слив ртути и других вкусностей в залив Минамата.
Контора Chisso годами отравляла территорию Японии и уничтожала/уродовала живность, включая людей, несмотря на протесты. Фильм пытается раскрыть данный инцидент от лица уставшего от жизни журналиста Юджина Смита, который сделает исторический снимок "Томоко Уэмура в ванне" (искать в гугле), чем ещё больше привлечёт внимание к похуизму конторы Chisso.
Гнетущая атмосфера, поломанные судьбы, измученные дети и взрослые - всё это в фильме есть. Есть и история самого Юджина Смита, роль которого исполнил Джонни Депп. Хоть я и люблю этого актёра, но мне кажется, что на роль Юджина Смита он не очень подходит. Хотя опять же, имя Деппа привлекает внимание к самому фильму и это замечательно.
К сожалению фильм не расскажет о связях Chisso с якудза и не будет детального раскрытия давления на представителей протеста. Фильм задевает эту тему по касательной, а столько всего интересного в этой истории есть. Да и тему с фильтрами не особо раскрыли: контора Chisso поставила очистительные сооружения и заверила, что теперь вся вода, что попадает в залив, настолько чистая, что её пить можно! И её выпил сам глава компании… Но выяснилось, что пил он заранее налитую чистую воду, а фильтры вообще ничего не очищали.''
Если соберётесь смотреть, то в дополнение посмотрите ролик Сурена на эту же тему.

>what's with the ancient Japanese and this gay haircut? Supposedly this hairstyle was to keep the helmet in place, but that's kind of bullshit IMO. More likely people did this because japan has a culture of worshiping any authority figure so people shaved their heads as a sign of respect for their balding samurai boss: Male-pattern baldness had been common in Japan due to poor food availability, which is the reason Japanese people tended to be - and still are in some regards - smaller than average human size and often had fragile bones and poor tooth/jaw structure, after all there is good reason that depictions of feudal Japan in modern media like anime (pic 3 - Inuyasha) often feature balding farmers and bandits, but I digress.
TL;DR: Male pattern baldness was and remains pretty common in Japan, so a hairstyle that works with baldness has some practical purposes and became socially enforced.
This is also similar to Medieval Christian monks.
