Does it count as isekai if you write a manga about fixing a fantasy world with economics 101 tricks, but then you go to jail for tax fraud irl?

Pener Kropoopkin posted:The circumstances of the story compel the protagonist to set up a book publishing business so that the female orphans aren't left to starve to death or be exploited as consorts, if that's what you're talking about. The nobles who form the priest class won't even let her do direct charity, so she has to come up with a scheme that has official license. Yeah setting up the story so that the best solution for everyone is for our hero to use child labor is being "kinda weird" about the topic imo

Truga posted:"The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent" but i haven't seen the first season of that one yet I have and it's actually... well I wouldn't say it's revolutionary or has some particularly trenchant insight on life or society but it's very "comfy" for a lack of better words. A very chill anime to relax to. Also kind of funny how isekai for girls is like "a young lady with a nice personality who makes very good healing potions and a bunch of kind and good looking dudes appreciate and treat her nice because of that." while isekai for dudes is like "rapey incel gets reincarnated, obtains untold power, decides to use it to get a sex slave harem and commit racial genocide"

The first episode of some show where a girl is working at a lovely animation studio and wants to make otome games but it's 2023 and they don't sell and she somehow gets isekaid to 1992. That's all that's happened so far but does that count? https://myanimelist.net/anime/54041/16bit_Sensation__Another_Layer There is no good isekai

All of these animes sound really bad, don't sound at all like ones where someone shoots someone and it goes ka-BLASH or a sword totally cuts someone in half imo More akira and shigirui imo (tho the latter is very weird too) In trying to remember how to spell shigirui I discovered shigeru mizuki who fought in ww2 and wrote about it, gonna check out his manga Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths if I can find it

The only thing i remembered going into it was Kaneda and his red bike. The movie is good but the manga is superb and one of the greatest of all time imo. It adds a lot and a whole nother act or two where America invades and is fought by megatokyo rebels it rules from what I recall, plus some of the best art ever Communist Thoughts has issued a correction as of 20:18 on Oct 5, 2023 |

Pener Kropoopkin posted:what’s incredible about One Piece is actually how little weird anime stuff is in it, despite Oda’s aesthetic tastes. it’s one of those mangas that people who don’t like anime end up being really into. This hasn't really been my experience. My friend and his girlfriend are pretty typical "western nerds who aren't particularly into or familiar with Japanese stuff," and the only shounen anime they care for is MHA (and I don't know of a single person who is "anime-averse" and reads any manga at all). My other friend who likes nerdier stuff is fundamentally turned off by any sort of "bombastic" (for lack of a better adjective) tone in anime (or Japanese stuff in general), which basically includes literally all shounen.

there were outsider soldiers who came in during the post-disaster act. i think they just served as viewpoint characters, briefly. then it went back to kaneda and tetsuo. i should re-read akira.

They started producing the Akira movie before the manga was even completed, so it's incredible that they were able to take so many elements from an unfinished work and condense it down into a coherent narrative.

the first time I read the manga I was shocked how much more story there was to it. the film, incredible as it is, really does just wrap up with a "oh I guess "akira" was just like some frozen organs in a jar, the end" but in the manga you've get tetsuo ruling tokyo from a ruined skyscraper with the eponymous child psionic sorcerer.
