All I can about anime slavery (besides it being bad and needing to stop being A Thing) is that of all the countries in the world it probably lands the absolute worst among viewers in the United States for reasons I don't think I need to explain.

99% of the people who love the shield hero show do not even conceptualize the slavery part of it from what I've seen. And hell, Good for them.

how does slavery in 19th century america hit any harder than for example the comfort women in the post ww2 era japan. this is primarily a consequence of the discourse on this website being driven by predominantly white americans. it does not "land the absolute worst among viewers in the United States"

Since I'm watching anime again I'm going to post about some anime I've been watching! Machikado season 2: it's good, ganbarre Shamiko. Must admit I'm less interested in the actual story stuff than Shamiko and Momo hanging out, glad we're entering the 'Momo you'd look prettier if you smiled more' arc though. Executioners Life: been pretty decent so far though I'm worried how edgy it's going to get, doesn't seem like it would take much to turn it into something Akame ga Kill adjacent but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt for now. E-stab Life: no one has been stabbed yet Onipan: looks good and I find the voice acting uh 'charming' but not very funny either, see how it goes. Oh I also watched the first ep of the ninja girl show, haha nah

It's estimated that a full 12 percent of the US is descended from slaves, and those descendants are also disproportionately subject to extreme poverty and racism, all very visible remnants of that system. This is all incredibly obvious poo poo I shouldn't have to point out. I'm not trying to minimize Japan's role in slavery, but this argument you're making is just unreasonable. I get that you don't want to have this conversation, but you can just say that, you know? You don't have to split hairs like this.

I've never watched Shield Hero so I thought that Raphtalia was a bear girl until my boyfriend who does watch it corrected me. I'm still recovering from this.

psyer posted:Another decent episode of Ao Ashi. It seems they have adapting it pretty faithfully. They cut little bits and pieces though. The animation is decent for a sports anime. And it seems the people doing the localization have someone that has researched or knows about the sport. Too often it seems like people who localize sports manga/anime get terminology or how people say it wrong/awkward too many times. Won't be happy until someone tells our protagonist that he's not a 'genius forward' he's a trequartista It's decent though. Liked the youth coach outright saying 'yeah we already scouted you and know everything about you before you came, almost all of you will be going home because you're not good enough but try to have fun'. Very accurate

Also, if people don't want to endlessly have the slavery conversation, I personally suggest they stop engaging with it.

Nobody’s pretending that the sensitivities don’t exist, just that we aren’t talking about media made for Americans. It’s a useless conversation because nobody here thinks slavery is ftw

There are people in Japan who suffer immense discrimination on the basis of their ancestry, people who worked in certain professions like morticians, I'm not sure how comparable that is though. I only read the first couple of chapters of the shield hero manga, my initial impression was it was *probably* meant *initially* to be this definitely seen as morally questionable thing. Having been ostracized from the other adventurers the SH mc decided to go gently caress it and do "whatever it takes" to be a successful adventurer morals and ethics be damned; along the lines of the revenge arc of the Count of Monte Cristo, but with his outlook gradually softening as he regains his trust in humanity, but the impression from what I've heard is that this derails very quickly.

Shield Hero is specifically a CR co-production, isn't it?
