In the last three minutes of this episode, Takeo solved the problem Ippo's been struggling with for the last twenty six years.

I'm loving the fact that Take and Yamato are equally autistic weirdos and that the only reason they don't break up over silly misunderstandings is that Suna is a world class bro Also that training montage

i get that we're on sa, where autism and aspergers are like casual insults, but it seems dumb as hell to refer to characters as autistic when they clearly aren't par for the course i guess

I think it just bugs people when words are used so incorrectly. Also because it puts a negative spin on the purest feelings. You don't need a brain disorder to act like an idiot when you're a teenager in love.

Show rules so much. Although seeing that judo match made me really want more hot-blooded karuta animes. Also, this contained one of my favorite panels from the manga, so it's an A++ episode.

Everyone in this thread should either get super buff or learn how to bake salt cakes, or maybe just eat cakes.

I grin during each episode. I was going to read the manga and I did for a little bit, but I stopped because the anime is so good. The best part for me is how Suna and his sister have always considered Takeo as decent and awesome in his own right. He definitely doesn't fit into the standard mold of your typical Japanese young man, but nevertheless they see him for what he is. Of course, Yamato does too, but the fact that his friend Suna has always remained faithful and has never found Takeo 'boring" is pretty cool too.

That training montage was pretty great. By the way, are there any good or at least decent anime with a main protagonist who actually is horribly autistic?

Watamote and maybe Welcome to the NHK. Though I think pretty much all the ones I can think of only conform to the SA standard of autistic (weird and socially stunted) rather than the actual one.

We need more handicapped people in anime in general. Yuuki Yuuna was pretty good with regards to this. Even though paraplegic girl was a raging nationalist.

Anime is hardly alone in this. I think Haddon's Curious Case of the Dog in the Night-time is the only realistic autistic protagonist I've seen in any medium.

Yeah, that is my general feeling on it too, because of the nature of severe autism it's very hard if not impossible to portray what the world looks like from the perspective of someone who is severely autistic.

True, but there should be some autistic mangaka who could do it. Or if they have someone who's studied autism a lot to help out with the writing. That'd be interesting.AVeryLargeRadish posted:Watamote maybe? It's certainly a superb look at a broken-brained social outcast.

There was a Bollywood movie called My Name is Khan about a Muslim guy with Asperger set around 9/11 that was really good. I can't really think of anything else featuring a legitimately autistic main character.

It's been ages since I watched that, so I honestly can't remember if Dustin Hoffman in that is legit autistic or hollywood autistic.

This whole conversation is a little silly since autism spectrum disorders encompass a huge range of disability. It could mean anything from "nearly catatonic" to someone who's just congenitally bad at reading others' emotional states and has very narrow interests and repetitive behaviors.

Amano Yukiteru from Mirai Nikki actually reads more like someone with high-functioning autism than any other character I can think of offhand. He's got very ritualized behavior that he repeats every day, makes detailed diary entries of things that happen around him every few minutes with little sense of priority, he constantly misinterprets friendly social advances as threats and vice-versa, and he retreats into an elaborate fantasy when people get to be too much for him. They also never portray it as some kind of superpower, which I appreciated; it's an obstacle he has to overcome. The whole show (as trashy and exploitative as it is) has a really neat undercurrent of how to navigate healthy and unhealthy ways of dealing with loneliness.

Not an anime, but there was a live action J-drama called Ataru 2-3 years ago starring Chiaki Kuriyama of Kill Bill/Battle Royale fame and one of the guys from SMAP. He played a Rain Man-style idiot savant character who helped solve crimes. There are English fansubs available.

For people who read the manga: Is there actually ever going to be any drama in this show? Or is it going to be the current sort of fluff for the remainder? I need to temper my expectations.

Up to the end of volume 4, which is all that is released in English so far, there is very little drama with maybe some hints of something to come. As someone who reads a lot of shoujo romance that is a good thing as holy hell can that genre get bogged down in all sorts of dumb melodrama. A series that forgoes all that is like a breath of fresh air.
