Captain Invictus posted:Suicide Island is genuinely great and an interesting idea even if the setup is terrible(Japan is sick of suicidal people so they send repeat offenders to an isolated island to do whatever so they can avoid wasting medical staff and money on people who don't want to live, but that's just the setup, it's more about people learning to survive on an abandoned island). That thing though...that looks like poo poo garbage and Yeah, seconding on Suicide Island being really interesting since it focuses on the survival aspect and it doesn't talk out of its rear end as much compared to Destroy Revolution.

I still laugh sometimes when I think of Holyland's narration style. Two dudes be fighting and suddenly the mangaka interjects with "Many people think (insert opinion about fighting). However, based on my own experiences, (insert different opinion)!" in a little narration box. This happens a buncha times throughout the manga.

Bad Seafood posted:I've never read anything by this guy, but none of these pages really make me want to. His other stuff is awesome and to be fair to D&R the "god" character here is definitely the villain who is constantly trying to sway the more rational main character to his side. I didn't take it from the reading that we are supposed to be identifying with or supporting the ideas of the god character (Yuuki) at all. TheFallenEvincar posted:Yeah, he does that with Suicide Island too, I like that little eccentricity. I can't remember if he does it for Destroy and Revolution though? It's all too blurry now. It'd be weird if he did, "Many people think overthrowing the imperialistic forces of the United States may be difficult. However, based on my experiences He doesn't do it with D&R probably because it's not a subject he could research and interject much on. I enjoyed it in Holyland and Suicide Island too, it's kind of like "Here's fighting or survival tips 101"

Yeah, the latest chapters have leaned pretty hard on him turning into a Griffith/Femto-like character. Although in my opinion he comes off more as the creepy kid from Chronicle with a messianic complex.

New Dorohedoro chapter. No more Nikaido baps, rip En is really something else, huh. That Devil's bet is, too. Chidaruma's plan must be to get rid of the other devils and become the ultimate power in the world, since there'll be no others who can match his strength.

It's kind of one of the good things to me in the series, the whole point that the more naive MC with powers is initially swayed by Yuuki but then has to consider what his own definition of morality is and what is the "right" way to protect that. Honestly it's kinda thematic for all of this guys stories.

One of the little things I liked about Holyland is how the Yuuki-like badass fighter guy is slowly revealed over the course of the series to be an even more hosed up loser than the MC. The author really likes his slow burn character development it seems.

RatHat posted:To be fair to Destroy and Revolution it's not like he's being portrayed as the good guy. Yeah but I imagine it's the sort of thing where "This guy is correct but I disagree with his methods," so the dumb Baby's First Political Theory stuff previously mentioned is still true. The key issue with that sort of politics is that it's really obvious people with those views are starting from an initial opinion (in this case "I dislike the US and like (my rose-tinted view of) past Japan") and then look up facts to support that. So you end up with a bunch of accurate criticisms of the US, but, because these facts are actively sought out to support a particular world-view, they don't understand the big picture (that these issues are more a result of a complex combination of economic system, history, culture, etc and certainly not unique to the US). It's actually kind of interesting from an American/Western perspective. Because of the US's position as a superpower, this particular brand of right-wing doesn't really exist here. In the US you see something along the lines of "the US is great and other countries are dumb and/or evil", but in other countries like Japan you instead see "Japan used to be great but the Evil Empire ruined them!" It's predicated on the existence of a more powerful Other, while in the US there obviously aren't any other countries that are more powerful and exert a ton of control and pressure so you don't have this sort of world-view.

Captain Invictus posted:New Dorohedoro chapter. No more Nikaido baps, rip I doubt thats his plan, since he already is the ultimate power as far as we know. He made the other devils because he was bored, he could probably strip their power away as easily as he did with Asu. I can't tell where he might be going with this, maybe combine the human and magic user world so they have more conflicts and hes less bored?

Eh. America used to be great until the gay heathen atheist feminist Muslim pinko communist hippie Jews took over and ruined everything. That's pretty much the American equivalent of the "USA - evil empire" of weaker powers. The only difference is in asserting a non state actor having subverted the original greatness of the state, as there is no state actor with the power to do so.

I mean, Donald Trump says America is poo poo but you (yes, you!) can make it great it again by driving out all the poors and non-whites which is basically what you're talking about. The hostility is turned inwards but it's still a set up a bogeyman sort of situation.

The hostility is turned inwards but it's still a set up a bogeyman sort of situation. Parasites aren't the same as overlords. It's a difference in execution that speaks wildly to the power dynamic at work. Nobody who says poors and browns are terrible really thinks that the poors and the browns are their equals, or God forbid their superiors, or that they have anywhere near the same power. They just think they will slowly drain everything good and pure from their society. Whereas with America loving with the rest of the world, nobody even really pretends that we give a poo poo what they say or do and they assume we are some sort of retarded bully just smashing anything we bump into as we bumble around murdering the world. People might think they are better, but they don't think they are stronger.

Japan also turns their right-wing aggression inwards, but more in the form of politicians being corrupt and useless rather some big conspiracy ala "Obama is secretly trying to change America into a gay Muslim country!"

Pewdiepie posted:That mangaka has a hosed up brain. He's old friends with Kentaro Miura. When they were young they would do these manga camp things where they would sit around brainstorm and draw manga in probably tank tops and underwear in some ratty apartment with no a/c but who knows just speculating. Got this from some little comic Miura or darkhorse put at the end of a berserk volume. In the same comic or maybe a different one he also said beserk was at least originally supposed to be a combo of rose of versailles and fist of the north star. good choices.
