John Dyne posted:My favorite isekai was Kemono Michi, which is about a pro-wrestler who gets sent to your stock standard fantasy world but his whole schtick is he fuckin' LOVES animals and refuses to beat up the beastmen and monsters because he wants to rub their tummies. He also suplexes the princess who summoned him. That sound fun! Let me google images it aaaand...  ... ...

Yeah I don't think I'd have ever watched it if I had seen any of the promo art for it. I just saw it on Hulu and went, 'huh, that looks neat.' It's anime as gently caress.

I know I've chided people in the past for being reflexively down on anime and manga but purely as a gag this is a beautiful post, Lurdiak. I mean this from the bottom of my heart, I'm beaming, I don't know if this is a widespread Everett True meme format or something you just whipped up but I adore it.

There are shows with zero sexual content or even a dearth of female characters who will still have official cheesecake art floating around, whether as illustrations used for merch or something to stick in a magazine or whatever. Do not judge too harshly by the results of what an image search turns up. this warning doesn't apply to kemono michi though, it is actually horny, i like the one with the really paranoid guy better

Black and white stuff? Let's do black and white stuff. Concrete v03 - Fragile Creature Concrete had his brain transplanted inside a rock person construct, his original body stolen by aliens. As the only known "super" in his setting he has a carefully-constructed public image as a buffoon, this era's Hulk Hogan, to throw off tricky questions about his origin--but he's actually rather well-read and cultured, being a former political speechwriter. He is basically a slightly-weaker The Thing with more awkwardness and social anxiety. Concrete mostly makes a living as a travel writer and taking on interesting odd jobs that take advantage of his heightened strength and endurance. Currently, he's taken on work as Special Effects Man for a Hollywood film production, saving the production millions of dollars--which the established special effects crew isn't wild about, since that's all money that would have passed through their hands instead.

If we're doing black and white there are quite a few pages of Cerebus I could use, but then again it's Cerebus, so........ EDIT: For those who don't get it because they've never read it, Cerebus was a comic book that plummeted straight off a cliff because its author is, literally, a crazy person, who ruined his work ranting about women and going off about other weird poo poo.

Bota Bota is a nsfw manga by the creator of Beastars about a woman who gets massive nosebleeds every time she touches something she considers filthy. Despite this, she keeps trying to sleep with random men, with disastrous results. Here, her actions have caused her to become infamous in town

One positive about manga I'll give it is that it seems to be a lot easier to find publishers and editors that will let you get real wierd with it.

I feel that, historically, Japanese popular entertainment tends to the bizarre. I went to a half day of bunraku (puppet plays) when I was in Japan a few years back and the main play extract they did was written in the mid-1700's or so, but the tropes you'd probably see in a whole bunch of manga/anime now.

Ehh, I mean western literature cannibalizes itself constantly too. How much modern poo poo is based of Shakespeare?

I agree, but its like if the history of Western literature decided Titus Andronicus was the premier Shakespeare play rather than say, Hamlet. (Nothing against Titus Andronicus - I like me a pie-based revenge story.)

Hmm, Lancelot's affair with Guinevere is a major cause of the end of Arthur's Realm. And he winds up dead. Now, Galahad, there's a Mary Sue. Except he's at least in part designed to be a foil to his father Lancelot. We got any badass jousting panels?

Manga is nerd poo poo, in the same way that comics are nerd poo poo in the West. It’s not like Japan or other parts of Asia don’t have their own rich literary traditions.
