Speaking of which I finally got around to Gunbuster. Why the hell is the supposedly Soviet pilot named Jung Freud?

My assumption was that she was from East Germany, which was formally annexed by the Soviet Union at some point in the show's alternate history. There's probably official supplemental materials that contradict this, though.

P4G is sort of what I expected it to be, but still a little bit disappointing. I was hoping for some new riffs on the original events since it's NG+, but they haven't taken advantage of that at all. That said, it is really nice to see the Golden original stuff get animated, and I don't mind a little more Persona 4. (It needs to loving stop after this, though.) It's nothing special, though. Nozaki-kun is the other show I've followed so far in this season, and I gotta say, it's pretty loving great. It doesn't even try to pretend it's shoujo and mercilessly rips every single stereotype of the genre apart. The best part is how each and every single one of the characters is an adorable dorky loser, that makes them endearing.  Seo and Kashima are my favorites. If you only watch one thing this season, I say pick this one.I remember reading the first chapter of Love Stage a long while back, so I figured what the hell, I'll check it out. My feelings are...mixed. As a comedy show, it's not bad. The comedic timing is pretty tight, the character design is great, and I've laughed out loud a good few times. Unfortunately, it's still a stupid loving yaoi, and suffers not from being about male/male relationships, but from the typical ridiculous bullshit that's developed around the genre. It went down the shitter fast right around the middle of episode 3, and you can probably guess why. I'm forgiving, so I'll give it another episode because to be fair it can be funny as hell sometimes. We'll see if I stick with it. I still need to watch Sabagebu, I've heard amazing things.

According to the first google result for "Jung Freud Gunbuster" (which may or may not be official - I have made no attempt to check) she was born more specifically in "Soviet Russia" so I dunno. It doesn't bother me that much, and I get where the name comes from, it just seems kind of a bizarre decision to make her Russian.

Years ago there was a really in depth look at Gunbuster on a blog, here's the post on episode two and Jung Freud. It's kind of nsfw because of screen shots. http://animekritik.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/imperialism-translation-gunbuster-episode-two-nsfw/ Read the rest too it's good stuff.

A lot of it strikes me as overstated/wrong. In particular, calling psychoanalysis "the culmination of Western thought" implies some pretty odd ideas about intellectual history, and the suggestion that Noriko is less sexualized than Jung seems wrong to me.

coathat posted:Why was the Gainax/ Trigger thread gassed? Are we not allowed to like them anymore? Because studio megathreads are dumb? The same reason a Trigger thread was gassed years ago before Kill la Kill was even out, the same reason why I'd gas a Sunrise or Production IG megathread? If you want to discuss a show, just make a thread for the show. There's been at least three different Gunbuster/Diebuster threads over the years, nothing stopping you from make another. Trigger has literally produced only two shows, both of which have threads (one of which is closed because it was being used just for fanart spam which isn't discussion, and also the discussion itself was pretty awful). I'm pretty sure there's one or two Gainax show threads floating around at the moment as well. Gainax is basically a production farm studio at this point.

While I'm sure you may think turning this forum into eight studio-specific megathreads would be great, it's not going to happen. Actually, given that the gassed thread united several studios into one megathread, I suppose the end game there would be "an anime forum that's just one megathread"? I'm pretty sure that very thread exists elsewhere on Something Awful if you look for it.

It only got like 20 posts in a day. It was hardly a threat to the forum. There's general shonen and seinen threads but they seem to coexist with series specific threads just fine.

The people hammering the report button the second someone tries to call them on their awful derails are the ones dragging the KLK thread down. Closing the thread as a response isn't moderation, it's ineptitude.

It's been the policy for ages and you're not exactly making a convincing argument that it should be changed. The shounen & seinen threads are actually kind of awful for the very reasons I mentioned but they actually serve a purpose of supporting ongoing discussion of weekly / monthly releases of stuff too small to keep on top with their release schedule. It's a fight to kick that stuff into its own thread when it's justified either. If you want to discuss any particular show, again: make a thread? The hope is that there would be actual interesting discussion.

Maybe have a general industry thread if you want to talk about specific going-ons within anime studios? Other than that, I don't see what's wrong with sticking to show-specific threads.

Out of all the things that could possibly be discussed in a Gainax/Trigger thread, the only ones that merit any kind of lasting discussion and wouldn't attract lots of negative attention either already have a thread (Evangelion) or could fit in the Super Robot thread. I wouldn't necessarily be against one existing, but there's not really any reason for it to, either, and it would probably attract a lot of shitposting because the most recent thing they did is a notorious pile of poo poo.

I'm not sure what you would do in a studio megathread except gush over old things they made, at which point you might as well throw that in the recommendation thread.

Srice posted:Question related to the topic at hand: Would making a thread about an individual director be kosher? Sure. In that case the topic is actively on the creator and their works, discussing them as much as the works themselves. Even though we have an Evangelion thread, for example, a Hideaki Anno discussion thread would be fairly different in overall subject matter and the type of discussion that follows. Discussing the creator itself and common themes, so on. Ideally the OP would actually be informative and a starting point for discussion though. I don't think there's value in such a thread if it's just pigeonholing.

That's because there's more reason for a genre-specific thread to exist than a studio thread. People would wander into a seinen thread and ask for some recommendations or discuss a new chapter of something that doesn't have enough interest to warrant it's own full thread. If someone went into a Trigger thread for similar reasons, what would they say? "Which of these two shows should I watch, or would I be better off reading the OP of the show's respective threads and make a decision myself?". I guess you could talk about a studio's quirks  but I doubt you could reach 20 pages of meaningful discussion specifically centered on SHAFT head-tilts and crazy backgrounds.
