Sakurazuka posted:I think Gaim is still the last thing he actually wrote himself and that finished like a year ago? He did the screenplay for Expelled from Paradise which was a pretty neat flick, and he finished a script in May and tweeted about it, saying it's the first 1-cour anime he's done on his own since Madoka.

Those swimsuit figures are bad but not because of sexualization, they're just extremely mediocre.

Lestaki posted:I think you're being unduly dismissive. Sayaka's whole deal is her romantic feelings for Kyousuke and how they motivate her wish but aren't addressed by her wish. Her body image issues relating to the soul gem reveal are a major part of the downward spiral, she's pushed further by Hitomi's relationship with Kyousuke, and the final blow is struck when she overhears men discussing how women are sex objects to them and nothing more. That's not a minor aspect, that's the beating heart of Sayaka's character arc. Which makes sense, because they're all teenage girls and these things happen. My apologies, I realized later that I was conflating sexuality and sexualization, when they aren't the same thing. That said, I find Sayaka's arc is moreso defined by impossible idealism and the consequences of such, how attempting to be a hero of justice and emulating Mami's "example" only ends up destroying her. A lot of the relationship between the three characters can be defined as such, Sayaka attempting to heal Kyousuke in an altruistic manner, or struggling with regret over saving Hitomi. While romance does play a part, I feel only as an aid to the larger structure of Sayaka's arc and how it plays into Madoka as a whole. Endorph posted:Figures You're misconstruing what I said. I've acknowledged the existence of merchandising for Madoka, my point is that Madoka is not designed around the merchandise. Most Seinen Mahou Shoujo is explictly designed to sell things to you, usually via sexualization, while Madoka is not. If it was, why isn't Madoka just another typical Mahou Shoujo anime with a hundred episodes and no point other than titillation and advertisement? Where, exactly, is the episode where Mami wears that clothing and is explicitly designed to sell it? We have one scene in Rebellion, which felt less like it was trying to sell me something and more just SHAFT abandoning their principles around Madoka. In the end, the figures exist because the anime is successful, they lie outside of what the anime is and what it is trying to achieve with its narrative and structure. In a word, they are irrelevant, and just exist as a way for Aniplex to derive value from the property separate from the anime itself. trucutru posted:holy lol! you're killing me. I still don't agree with the distinction between high and low art. Art is art, and the judgement of it is subjective. As well, the argument that Madoka exists to make money is absurd, because of course it is. A majority of art created in a capitalist system is designed to generate revenue, that will always be part of the creation of it. Since this is the case, I don't feel it's relevant as an argument, because it's going to affect most art in totality. If we're going to apply the reasoning of revenue generation to art as a delegitimizing action, then most of art created in our society is delegitimized automatically. trucutru posted:Like, I make fun of your posts not only because you're over-analyzing a fairly straightforward show but because you just don't get some really simple stuff. Let me give you an example: the naked transformations are a staple of the genre and are not there to sexualize the girls, that's what the Sayaka butt-shots are for. Rebellion didn't want to de-sexualize them with the new transformations, they were instead focusing on having what scientists call rad-as-hell unorthodox transformation sequences and they did it! those rock (although I don't like madoka's) A staple of the genre that Madoka A, mocks (see: Connect) B, barely has, and C, actively removed when adapting the series into movie format. I'm not sure what you're getting at with the Rebellion transformations, they're fine except for bits of Sayaka's. I'm aware of otaku culture, but just because I'm aware of it doesn't mean I need to accept or like it. To me, sexualization is pretty much universally negative, especially of teenagers, and the fact that a culture accepts sexualization such as this as a positive is even more damning. Anime won't get better and I realize that, I also realize that Madoka is mired in that culture even if it avoids the problems inherent to it, for the most part anyway. My overall point here is that Madoka and anime should be better than that, even if it's an impossible ideal.

I was gonna say there's a difference between seinen and shounen but apparently seinen means teenagers and shounen means actual children, I always thought the term meant something older. Well that's your update into my life.

cheetah7071 posted:My translation of that post is "I am either asexual or a literal child, and the concept of sexuality coming anywhere near me frightens me." Sexualization is, at least in the case of female characters, designed solely to objectify them for the purposes of male titillation. This becomes even worse when it using teenage characters in a similar fashion. I don't see why it is a controversial or contrarian opinion to be against that sort of thing.
