Ytlaya posted:^^^ Is Magane's power to make anything real if people deny it? I.e. if she says "there's a giant penis flying through the sky" and you say "no there's not" there will suddenly be a giant sky dildo? That seems like the sort of thing that would be really good up until people figured out how it worked, at which point it would become utterly useless against all but the most incompetent opponents (that mind control guy from My Hero Academia has that same problem; if he ever becomes a famous hero, his power will become useless). And there isn't that much character development, either. It's just space filled with nothing.

Darth Walrus posted:Maybe they're referring to the ongoing debate about how Attack on Titan wants us to feel about its use of fascist imagery? Yeah but the government's both suck and are super evil, so I don't think either idealize fascism. Plus technically it's a monarchy in AoT. FMA they committed genocide constantly to create a God, and the entire narrative shits on the military constantly, we just see the few ok Nazis. Also forever I thought his title was fuhrer king until I later found out years down the road that king was his first name.

Mordja posted:I never understood the argument that AOT was pro-fascist, especially considering the way the latest season literally humanizes the enemy. As I said, it uses a lot of fascist imagery, people were antsy about one of the major heroic authorities being designed after the governor of occupied Korea and another being a blond guy called Erwin, and a recent-ish arc involved the military overthrowing the corrupt civilian government and putting a junta in its place. Plus, it was early in the series, so we hadn't yet been shown how we were supposed to feel about the world we had been shown. It's easy to see now that Isayama is unlikely to be engaging in fascist apologia, but it's equally easy to see why the debate started in the first place.

Yeah, a guy called Erwin in a series where names like Berthold and Reiner are commonplace, that sounds mighty suspicious and like a political agenda

If we're going by creepy-rear end backgrounds relating to Attack on Titan, isn't Erwin not only supposed to be partly named/based on the Desert Fox himself, but visually speaking he's also inspired on Matthew Goode's portrayal of Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias?

I like how Meteora refrained from saying anything about Magane. Meteora can't bring herself to say any lies about her.

Holy poo poo. Highlights the fight where Selesia gets rekt by a little girl Re-writes her own fight as a sexy cool powerful character that easily wins and immediately ends the story

Terrible Opinions posted:Sorry for posting and leaving, but the show I was "Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka?'. Which is mostly just boring bad but when you start thinking about what the show is saying it gets much worse very fast, you know like how Lifetime movies often have a really messed up subtext. What? Sukasuka's pretty ok and it isn't fascist propaganda at all. You realise the point is that the guy's against and disgusted about there being child soldier suicide bombers and actively tries to make things better, along with a really on the nose "racism is bad" subplot. If that's fascist propaganda, Re:Creators is about the validation of North Korea's strategy of re-writing history to make them into the greatest nation on earth to become the greatest nation on earth.

Then you have the "racism" plot falling very flat because the vast majority sympathetic characters look basically human while the people hurting the war effort are 100% non-human looking. Also re:creators isn't validating North Korea, it's just a rather self-indulgent not especially well made celebration of Japanese nerd culture.

actually re:creators owns because meteora gets to throw shade at absolutely everybody i watched like 1.5 episodes of sukawhatever because the jokes in ep2 made my eyes roll out of my skull and jfc did the main character not ask the heroine her name despite hanging out for hours exploring the city in a lovingly animated musical sequence?

thankfully, this show had the best opportunity to make a recap episode something interesting, and they pretty much nailed it you basically couldn't do a recap episode any better without making it not actually a recap episode

Basically, the optimal way to experience this show so far is to watch episode 1, then see some assorted gifs of Magane and then watch episode 13. And nothing of value was lost HenryEx fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Jul 4, 2017 |

If every episode had a 5-10min skit at the end of Meteora and Magane banter it would be the best.

Gyra_Solune posted:so... He's got a tragic backstory set in a modern-looking city and some sort of centaur mecha, so I don't think they're going for a RoTK thing. The girl does seem like a naive love interest from a VN or something. Also in the new ED, Hangaku is shown next to Yuuya again. Wonder if that actually presages Yuuya getting her back.
