there isnt a living national treasure category for animation or screenwriting, or even film. tomino's a Person of Cultural Merit, along with Miyazaki.

Yeah Person of Cultural Merit is also a culture-related government recognition. I wouldn't necessarily say it's a "rank down" from LNT, but rather it serves a different, more general purpose. It's an award for achievement in arts or culture, the same as many governments have, and therefore can be granted to practitioners of modern or traditional disciplines, so you have novelists, actors, mangakas, scientists and game devs, but also artisans or performers of Noh or Kabuki theater. Living National Treasure, on the other hand, is specifically for "old timey" disciplines, particularly those that, due to cultural or economic shift, could risk disappearing (due to, say, an ever-receding pool of apprentices, or dwindling public interest or demand, as mentioned earlier re: Gojo's doll shop). Artisans and the like usually have a much lower ceiling to their max income than 'modern' artists and performers, so if you land the extra dosh that comes with the LNT designation you can uually stop worrying about keeping your workshop afloat and are expected to spend the rest of your career perfecting your art, taking in students, and maybe serving as a cultural ambassador. LNTs can also get Person of Cultural Merit'd, though it's rare. I think some Kabuki actors got the two-fer. e: Davincie posted:traditional carpentry is the background setting of Chiisakobee dope, thanks SexyBlindfold fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Feb 2, 2022 |

Enjoyed the latest episode of genius prince. The back and forth with the princess, each of them trying to out scheme each other, only for it to all fall apart because Some noble's failson offs himself in the dumbest way possible. Got an actual lol out of me.

'Those Snow White Notes' is about a high school kid whose grandfather was a renowned shamisen musician and his attempts to follow in his footsteps but I didn't watch beyond the first episode. Apparently it pretty much turns into a Sports Anime with him joining a high school club, learning to appreciate/trust/work with his team mates, going to summer training camp to improve, and ends with the club competing in the big regional competition

Feels like the mangaka ran out of ideas early once it became a school club thing

it works better with tiny niche fields where there isn't much competition. everything i learned about shamisen music in snow white notes just made it all the more certain that it is dying out because of how expensive, restrictive and conservative it all is.

Kung Food posted:So is "In the Land of Leadale" a show about dealing with an abusive and capricious relative? The light novels are largely slice of life, though because Cayna is both incredibly overpowered and basically a child that life often consists of things like "oh I summoned a bunch of powerful monsters to carry the village kids around on a sightseeing tour". There is some world building and plot going on, but she's largely not paying attention to it in an effort to stay uninvolved (despite being connected to basically every mover and shaker possible). The anime's been cutting a lot of that down, presumably in the interest of getting to the more typical isekai stuff going on in the background. Unfortunately that means you see less of her being chill and more of her interacting with her family, which is anything but. "Capricious" is definitely the right word for her, no matter if it's the novel or the anime, though I think we're supposed to view it as more humorous than it often comes across. She also sucks at parenting, which really comes up in a later novel when she ends up adopting a young kid and goes full helicopter mom.

I'm pretty sure that the family interaction stuff is supposed to be funny/heartwarming, but it mostly comes off as "this woman beat the poo poo out of someone who's supposed to be her son because he came on too strong(in large part because he hasn't seen her in 200 years)" to me. It's unfortunate because I really like the premise a lot but the show seems uninterested in the family angle except for a few slapstick scenes and more interested in incredibly generic "look how cool and unstoppable this isekai protagonist is" scenes, which are fine but there's like 40 shows you can get those from that are doing them better than Leadale.

there's the seed of a good story there. the mc is detached because it is a game world, because the now real game world has left her behind, because she died, because she has extraordinary power that is completely unearned, because everyone she ever knew is gone, because she only remembers what are now her children as disposable npc pets, because her adoring children are adults who have lived full lives while she is still mentally a teenager, and even because she spent her life in a hospital and has no experience with anything else. but it doesn't look like any of these mostly excellent story hooks will be acknowledged at all. so, what's left is a boring generic isekai.

Yeah I really like the setup and concept and started watching it for these exact reasons but I just get kinda disappointed when they spend an entire episode on "protagonist effortlessly owns some bandits with her level 1000 mmo powers". Gimme more about her awkwardly trying to be a mom to her kids who are mentally 200 years older than her, or about her trying to adjust to things like "having a working body" and "suddenly living in a medieval world". You can even weave these things together with the "overpowered isekai protag" stuff, like her playfully chasing the kid around was fun and the bit in episode one of her sucking wind because she wasn't used to physically running around was cute.

Tales of Woe posted:the webnovel its from is 10+ years old so i wouldn't expect it to have any clever new spin on the formula I mean, old fiction often has interesting ideas that kind of get filtered out of the copies. Like the original Gundam had some serious consideration of the trauma of combat and how it'd hit the young that was pretty much gone by Gundam X (letting Eva feel more distinct), or how the original Dracula had a much better and more nuanced treatment of Mina and Jonathan's relationship than the adaptations. Later generation isekai are often purely inspired by isekai rather than drawing from a wider pool, making them much less interesting, while older iterations might have some genuine original spark. Not saying it's the case here. Just noting that going back to the roots of a fictional genre can often feel surprisingly fresh.

I kinda thought this would be a lazy isekai trash show that I could watch when nothing better was on, but bleh this show sucks. Honestly it goes beyond that, it's actively harmful.

I never really got the impression it was supposed to be heartwarming, but have gotten every impression that the author thinks that wildly disproportionate violence is funny. Even outside of her family, Cayna was known for being wildly destructive; at one point in the Game Era (as the LN calls it) she wiped out a kingdom so thoroughly that the players refused to go back to it, even after the GMs restored it. Her small guild was apparently full of similar players, with only 2 members known for trying to be the adults in the room while the others were flying off the handle. At this point, I'm going to safely call this an absolute failure of adaptation. I'm still going to watch it though, because I am deeply curious to see how they're going to fill the rest of the episodes with the little action content that's in the next 2 LNs (they wrapped up all of LN 1 by the end of episode 4).

Hell, you can literally look at Mushoku Tensei from last year, it's the progenitor of a bunch of common isekai tropes you see today, and yet, regardless of how you feel about the subject matter, it handles its fantasy setting and characters with so much more depth and care than most later isekai do.

I mean, almost every story ever cribs themes and ideas from works that came before it, it's often in how it's presented, combined with various aspects, and commented upon. In that way it's a lot like a food recipe, all the ingredients are out there, but combining them in novel and enjoyable ways results in something that people enjoy.

Once a genre has been established for long enough the audience will be so familiar with the associated tropes that a lovely half-assed entry into the genre doesn't need to flesh out the characters or the setting if they're too lazy to go to that much effort. If you're watching a crappy cliched Western and there's a clean shaven guy wearing a white hat and an unshaven guy wearing a black hat your expectations about their characters and how they're going to interact are already baked in.

The reason I say it's supposed to be heartwarming is because they do bother to include stuff like her constantly patting Kartatz on the head or giving him hugs, and stuff like the "I'm sorry I overreacted, I'm a failure as a mother, you deserve better from me" apology from ep3(which is immediately deflated by her threatening them again).

Are y’all talking about leadel with all this? The show hs been nothing but charming and I can’t possibly compare any character in it to other ‘generic isekai’ because the show is just… not. It’s still pretty trash but like it’s about a dead girl and her adoptive npc adult children and she has an existential crises and hides in her bed until she feels like eating a donut I’m a big fan.
