Unless Tomino has a spiritualistic worldview based on a system of magic of his own devising, he's no Alan Moore. I know some guys in the industry must believe a lot of New Age mumbo jumbo, but surely Tomino couldn't possibly be the weirdest.

Zerilan posted:Takahata is my personal "best anime director" pick. Only Yesterday is my favorite animated film and Tale of Princess Kaguya was a visual masterpiece. I'm in total agreement. I saw Kaguya in theaters and was crying at the end. I'd prob say Kon is my favorite ever, but it's hard to say because he only had a few years. But everything he made is so perfect.

The guy who did that gambling manga, Kakegurui, started another manga series. It's a fantasy series about a guy who sets out to kill a group of warriors who reincarnated into the fantasy world from other worlds and have extremely overpowered abilities. It was cancelled after literally one issue because some readers noticed similarities between the evil warriors and characters from other popular manga.

having read a lot of fantasy trash, i recall one that would be considered a perfect iseki now where going to another world allowed you to receive mana from worship, making you a god. it was an explicit metaphor for colonialism. most iseki is just variations on that; tower of god for example has no "real world" that is just our own, but the tower was colonialized by past visitors (who either enter or grow in power within the tower until its inhabitants are basically insects to them), and few visitors have entered since and those who did and weren't killed before they could become a problem have shaken things up even if they explicitly wanted nothing to do with the politics of the tower.

It was incredibly tasteless and grimdark even by the standards of 'isekai satire by the Kakegurui mangaka', though, which was the other half of why it got torched.

If I recall, it didn't even some characterization aspects right since characters like Subaru and Tanya live horrifyingly stressful lives far away from the ideal "wish-fulfilment" ideals, Ainz is already a villain so that point is moot, Destruction Flag Otome and Otherworldly Restaurant are largely wholesome SoL's, and KonoSuba already exists to take the absolute piss out of the isekai and both Wiseman and Slime are largely down to earth guys who just want to chill and help people out. There's probably a satirical take for isekai, but this REALLY wasn't it.

Moore’s the gratuitous female rape writer, Ennis is the gratuitous rape of men for comedic purposes writer.

Pitch posted:I'm just thinking that this is The Boys for isekai protagonists, but then it might be a lot closer to the Amazon series in the first place. That's not a bad description actually. Funny thing is that I totally forgot about Ennis and went straight for Moore in my mind before you brought him up.

The actual way to effectively take down a lot of isekai stuff would be to make a story that tackles the colonialist themes present in so many of them since they can range from outright vile to just well-intentioned but inadvertently pro-colonialist It's way easier said than done tho

I have not watched How a Realist Hero saved the Kingdom, but it looks to me like another isekai where the fantasy is reproducing Late Capitalism in a fantasy setting

Now and Then, Here and There is good but also it doesn't criticize it in the same way modern isekai do it, if that makes sense?

i mean if it got made now (lol), it would just have a 30 second intro about falling into a video game and a couple extra superpowers. i wonder, beyond that, what would be the difference? it's the closest that's gonna happen haha

I finished Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex season 1 the other day. Was anyone else underwhelmed with the finale of the Laughing Man case? It felt like they built up the stakes incredibly high with Section 9 being shut down and the major being killed and then all that tension disappeared and everything was resolved without anything really happening. Also, is season 2 worthwhile?
