Pener Kropoopkin posted:From the New World is criminally underrated and it's also the perfect honeypot, because there's tons of anime tubers who complain about the ritualized homosexuality in the anime being as awkward and unsexy as possible (like actual irl adolescent relationships), while preferring the manga which is just straight porn. It’s hunger games level garbage. The show stinks

Are the Witcher books worth reading? I have not watched the Netflix show, nor have I gotten around to playing Witcher 3

TropicalCoke posted:What other modern African literature is good? Only read TFA and Cry, the Beloved Country cause I had to in high school. a man of the people by chinua achebe is excellent short and highly underrated its about a baby lanyard accidentally taking a moral stand against corruption because he picks a fight with his corrupt mentor over something really stupid always irritated as hell that things fall apart is considered the definitive achebe work because the main characters are all half naked dudes chucking spears which is like the one aspect of african culture youd think high schools would try to avoid overemphasizing

Jenny Agutter posted:Yes the underage protagonist is sexualized to hell and back but hear me out, she's actually fairly loving badass? she quite kicks some rear end from time to time? so it's like not problematic at all? It's anime skeez taken to a ridiculous level but she brutally beats the poo poo out of someone almost every single episode. Also there's the time the antagonist goes full Raiden and beats the poo poo out of people while butt naked wielding only a weaponised toenail extension. Kinda like Panty and Stocking but slightly less of an open pisstake (also Panty and Stocking if you count the side manga has the protagonists fight monsters made of literally every bodily fluid)

Kinda like Bayonetta. A lot about Panty and Stocking makes sense when you learn they got the idea for it when drunk in a hotel room in the US and saw Drawn Together on TV.

I am certain that the performers themselves were extremely horny, like athletes at an olympic village. But the work itself just ain't.

so has anyone been watching you i finished the first season today and its legitimately fascinating how the show cant make up its mind whether its a murderous stalker thriller or a romantic comedy this contrast is intentional incredibly enough the main character is the one who keeps going back and forth on the subject so often it seems like the conclusion could be going either way beyond the genre elements the other intriguing factor is how the shows a pretty blunt look at the causes and enabling factors involved in toxic relationships a big part of what makes the protagonist so undeservedly sympathetic is that hes observing other people acting in extremely lovely destructive behavior thats debatedly even worse than what he does but they get away with it because theyre careful to frame it in socially acceptable ways they can easily rationalize

the show is a murderous stalker thriller with comedic touches, just like dexter had funny stuff in it and the sopranos was practically a dramedy that doesn't mean the shows themselves are portraying serial killers and mafiosos as good people I think people get mixed up with "you" because of the MC's internal monologueing which shows how delusional he is, like when he's talking about a bad breakup with a former girlfriend when it was him trying to kill her and she managing to escape from him, or him talking about how he's given up on love and it's amazing how he keeps running into this new girl but he keeps resisting her until succumbing blah blah blah and then the show explicitly shows his inner monologue was all lies and he stalked her and slithered into her life like the psycho he is ironically, people are doing exactly what they shouldn't and what the show is supposed to convey to them not to do - taking a serial killer at face value

i think you encourages ambiguous readings in part because its not clear the guy is a serial killer hes constantly going wait why the gently caress did i do that what was the next step every time he escalates because hes struggling to make things fall in line with his internal narrative and he cant kill anybody unless hes hyped himself up to believe that theyre at a high enough level of evil to justify it his internal monologue notes at several points that what he was doing would be a hell of a lot easier if he could just do it cold bloodedly without having to think about it first its a neat contrast with salinger and ron because they do the exact same thing salinger gets nastier and bitchier whenever beck shows enough signs of improving self esteem that maybe shell tell her to just go gently caress off while we watch ron go from angry yelling man to helpful neighbor punching man to girlfriend punching man to kid punching man any time the people around him have breached another level of not respecting his authoritah

ok, fair enough, he's not a serial killer in that he wants to kill people and derives enjoyment from that, he's "just" a serial stalker and kidnapper who also has an impressive bodycount the show is giving you everything you need to put together that this is a bad man, but people keep pushing corner puzzle pieces in the middle and blaming the show for that edit: for god's sake, he's free and clear at the end of season 2, he could just live a boring rich life but he sees a loving hand through a crack in his fence and he's off to the races again Doktor Avalanche has issued a correction as of 15:46 on Jan 11, 2020 |

personally i thought the fact that candace is not only alive but somehow complicit in one or more of joes past crimes was a pretty good twist but im going to be extremely annoyed if season two is just the exact same thing all over again was honestly kind of surprised joe survived the first season at all it felt like the final showdown could have gone down either way and there would certainly be plenty of plot left over for the other characters to clean up even if joe wasnt in the picture anymore

finished the witcher and it's kind of solidly OK. geralt is cool and all the little vignettes he gets up to are great but the overarching plot is meh. nilfgaard is kind of comically evil. also now that we're desperately casting around to get another game of thrones going give me a loving warhammer fantasy show

the only good anime is stuff from the 80s / 90s that was unambiguously good guys kicking the poo poo out of unambiguously bad guys (like FotNS and DBZ) and also Akira because i saw that as a pre-teen and it was the craziest poo poo i had seen up to that point in my life. I'll also take the first two arcs of Jojo where it's dudes punching vampires and nazis because they can breathe special, but i lost interest when it turned into Persona edit: i can't remember if devilman was good or problematic but i liked it when i read it years ago Freaking Crumbum has issued a correction as of 04:30 on Jan 12, 2020 |
