Five cycles isn't necessarily bad, what's the clock rate here?

i think ranma 1/2 fanfiction was my exposure to INTERNET ANIME, so checks out

My gateway to anime was MSTings of bad anime fanfics. I think rec.arts.anime.creative was still a little bit of a thing, although it had largely been supplanted by self-hosted archives, either for authors or series, by then.

I think the biggest issue I have with it is that it's become a crutch for lazy writing. Obviously, this isn't to say anime writing is inherently godlike as a standard, but just the inclusion of characters which try to fit into almost textbook fetishes have been making a lot of franchises way more successful than they have any right to be. :/

Kancolle, Strike Witches, Girl & Panzer, K-On!, Touhou, etc.
Anything meaningful they may have to say or contribute to the medium gets drown out by pandering to the base.
k-on was directed by a woman, written by a woman, animated by a staff of mostly women, explicitly explored feelings that the creators felt when they were high school girls, and was so popular with real life high school girls that it inspired fashion trends

touhou is incredibly popular with women and has been a gateway for a ton of female mangaka that got their starts making touhou doujins, and more than that the touhou doujin scene itself is alive with depictions of lesbian romance written by actual lesbian women. more than that, the characters in touhou are literally never sexualized in canon (can you imagine, with that art), have offputting or bizarre personalities, and zun seemingly goes out of his way to hire mostly women artists for the manga and novels and stuff.

I think maybe the real sexism isn't 'oh no, some shows have cute girls in them,' but when guys run around shouting over women, women creators, and what women enjoy to talk about how Woke they are, how much women are hurt by these things that they actually like or contribute to the creation of. There are discussions to be had about things like using cute female characters as marketing, how seemingly every japanese store or website has a doodle of a cute girl, but starting out with 'these things that thousands of women find deeply important to them and had tons of female voices involved in their creation are actually sexist' is not only stupid, it's incredibly sexist and reductive. Men don't need to run around shouting down women in order to protect women. Frankly, men don't need to have opinions on objectification of women.

Statements like 'textbook fetishes,' 'way more successful than they have any right to be' - about a show made almost exclusively by women with a huge female fanbase - is some of the most sexist poo poo I've ever read. I'd like to ask that you not only gently caress off, but that you never talk about anything like this, ever again.

Can I gush for a second about K-on's environment art 'cos I really liked it

The school had a ton of character, and there were these gorgeous long, deep shadows over everything

It all feels very lived-in and three dimensional

yeah its super good, kyoani's always good at that but kyoani's nearly the best theyve been at that (i think eupho is slightly better at environment art, the cliffside shots and the bit in season 2 where they're at the inn are both gorgeous bits of background art)

I think Hyouka was as good as Eupho, it just had a different, more muted palette.

As an enlightened male ally, I am obligated to protect women from anything that has even the slightest chance of reminding me that sex exists. Their input in this is irrelevant and to say otherwise is, frankly, offensive.

also several things that don't remind you that sex exists, but features girls that have personalities. as we all know, personalities are extremely sexist. all women are 80 year old grannies who go 'my word' when they see a female character existing
