For me the core of Japanese humor is agonizing puns.

Arc Hammer posted:I'm reminded of that great essay Shakespeare in the Bush by Laura Bohannan. Humans separated by thousands of miles and vastly divergent cultures are still more alike than they are different and yet people are still surprised when the "other" can take meaning from a work of art with zero roots in their own history. Reading the first couple books of Plato's Republic was pretty wild when I first started diving into intellectual history. Just an old guy talking about how his fellow old guy friends miss their children, who never visit enough, or having sex. And then some rear end in a top hat storms in and says "bro, morality is just what people in power says it is." I've seen all this in my life, whatever other vast, vast differences there are between 21st Century America and Ancient Athens. I like to bring this up because people think philosophy is this super detached, alien garbage, when the best philosophy very much relates to our normal human experience, thoughts, and feelings.

i was just thinking about the difficulties generalizing your own existence while respecting individuality and vice versa, living in a world that loves to abstract and box and how impossible that is to mesh with lived experience. does the chat thread live in my mind.

Buschmaki posted:I like talking about things I enjoy, like 80s and 90s slice of life where I get fashion ideas Mars was one of those series I binged a decade ago when I was consuming a bunch of romance series like Bitter Virgin and Ciguatera, and while there's some nice art for the time and some moments that I think fondly back on (the motorcycle racing moments were cool), it has definitely aged horribly in a few ways that makes it hard to recommend to people, from coding a character as an antagonistic by making him gay, to  Content Warning: Sexual assault a really out of nowhere scene where Rei "pretends" to try to rape Kira to get a response out of her to prove she was sexually assaulted in the past, which is 20 degrees of wtf, and then the characters never acknowledge that that happened afterwards.

Did Japanese people think denpa shounen was funny? Specifically the one where the guy gets locked in a room naked for 300 days and forced to win sweepstakes to eat. There's another thing I don't understand about Japanese humor and it's where comedians make funny faces or scrunch themselves up and cross their eyes. On TV it makes people laugh but I always imagine it's just tatemae

homeless snail posted:no idea but I personally, think nasubi is very funny. its not even the meanest denpa shonen tbh I just watched it last week. At first I thought it was funny, but after the first six months I thought it was mean because nasubi was losing his mind. On the other hand the gymnast raihashounen episode where the woman gets locked in a room until she can do the Olympic bars thing felt fun and wholesome, and at least they gave her food. The other denpa shounen that is funny is the episodes where udo and the other guy get sent to random countries and told to meet each other at the border.

Paracelsus posted:There are some things that I would say are sufficiently abstract and irreducible to be considered universal to humanity as it has existed hereto. We're born, we die, our existence is separate from others, we get hungry and driven by that hunger, we have limited resources but unlimited desires, we want things we don't/can't have, it can be more personally efficient to take resources someone else has already gathered than it is to gather them yourself, etc. Different cultures can assign different moral weights and approaches to those situations, but the situations themselves arise fairly directly from our physicality and limited existence. A lot of the core of Japanese humor is "desire makes people idiots", which I would say translates well across a wide variety of cultures, and there would need to be a fairly intensive explanation for why it wouldn't work for some hypothetical culture. I am reminded of a Chinese woman who spent 10 years of her life translating just half of Finnegan's Wake into Chinese, a quarter of which was just footnotes explaining cultural and historical references for the benefit of her potential readers. Now anyone who reads Chinese can read Finnegan's Wake, or at least the first half of it, and there are absolutely things which occur or are described in Finnegan's Wake that you can understand without a mountain of footnotes, but you can also see why someone might look at "10 years to translate half a book" from a business perspective and say "I don't know..." Finnegan's Wake is an extreme example, of course - there are people who read English natively who struggle with that one - but still an example.

The last half of the second part is going to just be an extended epilogue to wash the taste of the ending a little cleaner. Note: I haven't read the manga, so I don't actually know the ending.

verbal enema posted:i will never put a model together i have incredibly stupid fingers you should try Last Call BBS  - - - - - - also, going through the upcoming games I have wishlisted on steam and I notice this comes out next month, I mistakenly thought it was a touhou castlevania fangame. Read the description on the page, googled a name that they put in quotes for some reason, and the Gal*Gun wiki shows up. Think "Oh, it's a Gal Gun castlevania fan game, then." read some more and no, it's by the gal gun developers. wtf

what was surprising for me was realizing that they'd actually tied their two original IPs, GalGun and Gunvolt together. The galgun/grim guardians girls have the same last name as the rival character in gunvolt lol
