Since Gel generated word bubbles off people all the time seems like one person could create multiple Kuus if their bubbles got spewed out more than once.

Important concepts for this episode - gekokujo and government by assassination. Starting to wonder if VAPE is a stand-in for the Toseiha, a conservative organisation created to defend against political radicals that shared many of their core assumptions and led Japan further into chaos, with Rizumu as Hideki Tojo. This is really irritating, because I've been looking for a good history of life and politics in Meiji/early Showa Japan for ages without success, and I can see how that would be very useful to understanding the political context of the show and how clued-up the creators are. The chief thing here seems to be about the perils of mob rule as traditional power structures break down, and they've directly stated that's how everything went to poo poo in Imperial Japan. I'm not sure how much that's true, and how much was a top-down imposition by the government, and where Gelsadra symbolically fits into all this. Maybe he's a stand-in for a particular Showa phenomenon, maybe he's just modern technology making politics faster, shallower, and more vicious while not being to blame in his own right (can you blame smartphone proliferation for a rise in suicides from cyberbullying? Technically and indirectly, yes, but there's also a human bully involved, and 'my iPhone made me do it' isn't a great defence), and maybe he's a bit of both. I just don't feel I have the requisite equipment to seriously dig into this, and I wish I did. Darth Walrus fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Sep 13, 2015 |

Yuru-jii getting real about Japan and WWII was both cool and surprising. Usually they just kinda sweep that under the rug in my experience, so for him to just straight up say "we just went along with it and did some regrettable poo poo" was pretty impressive.

Yeah, I generally just watch this show with a surface level appreciation because I don't feel like I have the cultural & historic knowledge to really get most of what it's doing but this seemed pretty awesome even to me.

This is still great and thanks for posting it. I think you're right on and I did not know this part of Japan's history.

Actually, come to think of it... is Gelsadra maybe Hirohito? Because that would have implications with a capital I for the show's political perspective.

Did this show seriously just straight up call out the Japanese populace for their complicity in WWII? I mean, I'm so used to too much anime just being conservative apologia, that it was shockingly refreshing to see a relatively main-stream show rip back the veil of historical revisionism that happens all too often on that subject. Not to mention having to deal with the fallout from Japan's extremest right with their history of harassment campaigns and political assassinations. Edit: On an unrelated note, them bringing back "In the Name of Love" for the last bit was amazing. I'd forgotten how totally amazing that track is.

You can only take it so far. I mean, does Rui represent the intelligentsia, cowed into blissful submission by a wave of nationalism? Maybe, but I don't think they were necessarily going for direct analogues.

Bad Seafood posted:Shouldn't be that surprising, they've been setting up for a scene/speech like that from the beginning, what with the memorial shrine in his room. Oh no doubt, I didn't miss that little bit of foreshadowing, but I never expected them to deal with as directly as they did. I thought that hint would be all there was. So, pleasant surprise. Also thank you music-likers for telling me the name of the best track in the show, now I can easily look it up. That track has the best "poo poo is about to get awesome" feel.

I definitely did not see Tsubasa transforming into a rad hoverbike coming. It's weird because the shape definitely suggests someone should be riding the bike, but... that seems like it would be awkward as hell.
