i think old anime and manga can be quite good like nausicaa, the akira manga, barefoot gen and legend of galactic heroes etc back then the authors were drawing on varied influences and usually had some kind of pacifist or anti-imperialist theme since they'd lived through some insane upheavals

now its basically all self-referential stuff and nearly every modern anime includes the epiphany: "the rule of life is survival of the fittest/the strong devour the weak" and gets pretty fashy
like comics 1% are decent 99% of them are brain poison but moreso than comics the lows are extremely low and disgusting

also jojo isnt very good and I don't understand its popularity other than its wacky meme potential
even its animation is not very good and other than that its just a childrens cartoon. the best thing about it was Roundabout

iirc jojo's power skips his daughter, who is so fragile as a woman that she just starts to die when her powers are activated

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

this is complete horseshit, his daughter is the mc of part 6 and is the most hardass of all the mcs (she starts the story in a prison), it was his mom whos ~gentle soul~ couldnt handle the power so they have an excuse to go beat up a gay vampire living in egypt

They skipped Jotaro's mom but they skipped Joseph's dad too. And like the dude said, Jotaro's daughter was the main character of Stone Ocean.

i subscribed to VRV last month so i could watch season 2 of harmonquest, and a couple of weeks ago i was scrolling around the app to see what else they had, and apparently what VRV mostly has is fucktons of anime

and in my scrolling i came across this short anime set between the two blade runner movies, and i thought maybe that was the anime for me, so i watched it

after it was over, i read some reviews to get a feel for whether it was generally considered a good anime or a bad anime, and the consensus among viewers on VRV was that it was amazing and awesome and a super good anime

but somehow the reviews all read like they were written by literal children

i may try another anime later

Speaking of smoothbrained highschool animes a friend recommended kill la kill.
Me and the missus thought it would be diabolical trash but it was actually v enjoyable, very sex positive and chill for a titty fanservice anime feat underage kids

gundam series can be surprisingly good, so iron blooded orphans, or..maybe 00? that might be a stretch though, and you have to put up with the rest of it

Watch Turn A instead of G-Reco, actually. They're the same series, but Turn A has the privilege of having a slower pace due to twice the episode count.

Also IBO is at least good in its message of "don't throw in with fascists."

Little Witch Academia's entire plot is an allegory for Marxism.

In any case, the C-SPAMiest anime is From the New World, because you start out as a dumbass kid who thinks the world is great until you find out that your society is built on a history of mass murder and brutal exploitation. Then you become teenagers and get to be gay with your friends, but adults still want to make you disappear because your friend is just too radical. Then you grow up and become a complacent instrument of the state, until the Third World rises up and tries to kill you all before you can kill them.

I thought Turn A Gundam was the best one, but it's been a while since I've seen it so I'm not sure if it's aged that well.

Gundam Thunderbolt is all over youtube. It's brilliantly animated and scored, and starts off seeming like a fun romp but quickly degenerates into the sociopathic logic of total war. Each half of the ONA is only an hour long.
