one piece is the most popular anime of all time and its about destroying the entrenched plutocratic government with your friends

Never seen it.

MHA, to me, is about the short-sightedness of the authorities and having to rely, eventually, on a diverse youth movement to fix their mistakes and ending up changing themselves.

Also a dopey and duplicitous Super Hero, clearly coded American, lying about how much time and strength he has left to the public while constantly, personally, failing the teach that very youth how to responsibly wield that power, ending in the kid figuring it out for himself - that's just a really cool affirmation.

It was also written during the Obama presidency so the outward imagery of being hopeful but dopey and a bit too trusting and moralizing was cute. God, to see how not-American fiction portrays the US now

Goblin Slayer is chud anime? Its like super mega popular though. Like look at Crunchy Roll's most watched

https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2018/11/05-1/crunchyrolls-most-popular-fall-2018-anime-by-state-province-country

Goblin Slayer is the most popular anime in the US, Canada, Europe, South America, Australia and so on. If it was super chud, then JoJos wouldn't be the most popular in Russia.

BTW, Jojo's being super popular in the Middle East is funny considering how gay it is.

I've been wondering for a while now how Netflix is able to fund all these shows/movies? I remember back in the day when stuff like Orange is the New Black and House of Cards were rare and the "Netflix Original Series" was supposed to be a seal of quality. But now they've like a billion series/movies under their belt. I was legitimately stunned at the number.

Now, I know they're a big company, sure, but haven't they been bleeding money for like the past 5 years?
They're stock value is sky high, which means the company's valuation is sky-high, which means they can sell of a chunk of the company to investors in exchange for billions of dollars, which they are spending like water to build their own content library. Netflix's biggest vulnerability was that they were entirely dependent on the libraries of studios and networks to provide content for their service, and now that Netflix has shown that there's money in streaming, all those networks and studios are developing their own subscription streaming services and pulling their material from Netflix (all Disney/Marvel/Pixar/Star Wars stuff will be on its own exclusive service in another year or so, for example). So NF has been on a tear, selling off chunks of the company to fund the acquisition and creation of their own content. But the problem is that there aren't a whole lot of really great AAA TV pitches and unproduced screenplays just sitting around waiting for someone to show up with a checkbook - most big names have a file drawer full of failed pitches and and abandoned half-baked ideas, and those are what NF is throwing money at.

I can see why they're doing it, but it has the effect of degrading the meaning of Netflix Exclusive from "the next Orange Is The New Black" to "Oh God what the hell is this".

Also: a lot of "Netflix Exclusive" material is actually stuff from other countries that already existed and NF just bought the exclusive regional streaming rights, or that they put up some of the money for as co-producers in exchange for the regional streaming rights.

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest, to be honest.

It's not the first time he's shared his creepy anime preferences with everyone. I know he's even been to HR for it. That and putting up anime beachball pinups in his workspace.

Yeah, 'liking goblin slayer' is a really loving strong indication that the person is a nazi or other form of closely related chud. The entire premise is that the genocidal protagonist and his allies are the only people who sees the truth that goblins aren't just an annoyance, but a scourge to be exterminated from the earth. They then give the goblins the standard racist boogeyman traits: they're filthy, thieving, produce nothing, worship weird and evil religions, breed like rabbits, and most of all want to rape and knock up good white women. Between fascist over and undertones and playing sexualized violence against women for erotic effect, it's zero wonder nazis love it.

Anime is super popular among PoC, women, LGQBT people as well. I think its one of those things that can mean different things to different people. Nazis probably love it because it isn't very diverse and Japanese men tend to have gross ideas about women.

It's funny that the FBI watchlist was a plot point in White House Down. The McConnell analog gets the watch list to help him takeover the White House and Kill Obama.

What's particularly interesting here is the presence of Conception as the top new anime in Iraq and Syria--two countries where it's a little surprising to see an anime about inpregnating a woman representing each of the constellations in the Zodiac.

a lot of people who watch anime just watch every anime regardless of quality, especially if it's controversial or just talked about a lot, so that's a component as well

but people who build their identity around being "Anime Watchers" are just like people who build their identity around being "Gamers" which is why anime fans seem so chuddy because most of them are just dudes who have nothing going on in their lives but watching anime

funny you should say this. hasan was on a twitch podcast with a bunch of gamer bros/girls and destiny, every 10 mins chat votes on who they like most and the loser leaves the podcast. politics gets brought up and hasan goes full communism, no hiding his power levels i mean he even has an antifa poster in camera view, pisses some people off.

one girl in particular gets into it with hasan and they have a back and forth. a viewer DMs hasan her instagram and guess who it is

https://www.instagram.com/p/BWsg3qelxQT/

he brings this up and by this time she had seen HIS instagram her demeanor had changed somewhat, shes open to new ideas now

he goes on her stream for 20 mins and shes keeps mentioning how attractive he is, and her subscribers start to lose their poo poo

Heavily inspired by tabletop role-playing games, the whole story spawned from the author, Kumo Kagyu, asking himself "What would a fantasy world be like if it were home to an adventurer who only hunted goblins?" Then he went on to post an outline of the story on an image board, 2ch (Futaba),
