I am trapped in having the taste of a 12 yo boy, what are the good shonen shows right now? I like isekai and can handle stat block behemoths like So I'm a Spider- So What? just fine. Right now I'm trying to work my way through the Dragon Quest anime after forgetting about it for months.

Netflix should do a live-action Monster remake, if only so that they'll host the original and I get to watch it in something other than 480p.

i like how grouchio watches so many anime youtubers hes slowly becoming an anti-sjw guy.


i'm still not over how insanely offensive them turning the dude that got forcibly fed female hormones into a woke nb guy is

quote:

"Revolutionary as the original anime was, the vocabulary we have today for LGBTQ+ people didn't quite exist when it aired," reads a tweet from Netflix. "For the upcoming live action adaptation, the character is being reimagined as nonbinary with a nonbinary actor."

bro hes not lgbtq+. he was forcibly fed hormones! this is not a state of being he asked for! now you can discuss whether that plot point is offensive but if you think the concept is offensive just cut the character. turning a dude who fully identifies as a guy but was forced into partial transition into a nonbinary guy is like the opposite of woke. it literally makes it seem like you went 'well hes halfway between the sexes physically so that means hes nb right.' gently caress you!

I really liked Demon Slayer even though the ending was kinda rocky and I still like One Punch Man so I can't separate good vs popular in my mind. I'll try and look at those at some point, thanks!

Eternally mystified how we keep getting Eragon-tier adaptations. It's like they don't actually want to make money by not making a garbage product to begin with.

I don't see any reason why Monster wouldn't work as a live action show honestly. I've watched a few crime dramas that are pretty similar tonally but worse

How did I say that they didn't have money?

I thought I was saying that 'IF, Netflix makes a good live action anime- since they're so excited to try every couple years- THEN, they would make more money than making a mediocre product' Right? That was what my logic was on it, how'd I not convey that properly?

In Disney's case, it's pretending to reach out to progressive ideals via the inclusion (or should I say shoe-horning) of various ethnicities, genders and orientations - to the point of detriment to the film's script - without commiting to respecting such characters in-movie, and/or occluding their presence in overseas Chinese media.

Look at John Boyega's character in the Sequel Trilogy. What did Finn actually do in the films? The moment Rey is established he's permanently sidelined into a background figure. He could've had an arc around becoming a Jedi but Disney went 'nah let's not commit to that'.

i think it's more apt to call it tokenization

and rarely are the actual pieces of media the ones being peachy about anything, if the diversity is ever more than an ignorable/removable footnote, it's their marketing strategy that creates or exacerbates the issue

Tower of God was ok. BoFuri is more slice of life than shonen but you'll probably like it. I'll second Jujutsu Kaisen but don't expect it to do anything new bc its basically a mishmash of every shonen since the 90s. God of Highschool was ok too but I guess they cut a bunch of the webtoon so it's sorta disjointed and feels too fast.

Great Pretender doesn't really have any super powers but was decent enough even if I think its too mean to the MC.
