I was legit kind of pissed about Shirobako disappearing but hey, it's one of the shows that's on HIDIVE, so VRV covers it... for now.

Complaints about Part 4's subject matter and pacing being a sudden nosedive for the series are crazy to me as a person who suffered through Part 3's needlessly drawn-out fights that weren't even good half the time.

I'm finally finishing BNA and I'm on the last episode. I had heard the core allegory was nonsensical at best but I kinda cast it aside, thinking "How bad can it really be?" and folks,

scary ghost dog posted:i completely disagree, i think its one of the most powerful messages ive seen in anime It waffles between really direct, specific anger at racial categorization and how the wealthy especially enable and propagate it, and "The Illuminati are doing secret blood rituals to control our minds! Race mixing waters down your bloodline! Minorities are emotional and dangerous and a threat to society in large numbers!" I don't think they're actually trying to say any of that but the messaging is all over the loving place.

Endorph posted:the guy whos mad about racemixing watering down your bloodline is the villain tho That doesn't really scan when the villain being of pure blood also gives him goddamn superpowers and makes him immortal. Like, for all intents and purposes what we are shown seems to confirm that yes, mixing bloodlines makes you weaker. scary ghost dog posted:a lot of people have complained about the “minorities are dangerous and can explode at the slightest provocation” thing (nirvasyl syndrome) but the show went out of its way to establish that anyone can suffer from it, its just a metaphor for furious rage, even the super inbred human leader guy gets it when hes cornered. ultimately i think the beastmen arent a metaphor for minorities, but instead a more general metaphor for any poor and downtrodden people. the show is an anthem for passion, and the beastmen are passionate, not emotional. the “illuminati” trying to develop a drug to remove that passion is pretty real as well. The problem is that the show's fundamental messaging is much more analogous to race than anything else. If it is supposed to be a class metaphor, it's too tied into that language of "humans" vs. "beastmen," and never adequately provides a non-essentialist viewpoint on why those rowdy beastmen are always so violent. Also, rich people don't want there to not be any more poor people, they want the exact opposite? It kind of falls apart.

Like, if anything it would make more sense along those lines if Alan was trying to turn everyone into a beastman to assert some kind of weird supremacy over them? Like, that's its own can of worms but it's at least a little less confusing that a rich guy would want to make everyone else the underclass?

Endorph posted:yes but also the villain is the bad guy. He is bad. He is an evil person. Frieza is super strong and has an intergalactic empire and the moral of dbz isnt 'landlords are the ubermensch' Him being the bad guy does not automatically mean every single thing he says is a lie. There's a lot of stuff in that speech that gives the audience no other adequate explanation and is never meaningfully contradicted and so we kind of have to take at face value. DBZ doesn't even really make sense as an example here because super tough dudes are dime a dozen in DBZ, but also because if you're not a Saiyan (and even if you're a Saiyan, if you're not Goku) in DBZ you might as well not show up to fights because you're probably just going to eat poo poo. e: Like, I'll grant that Alan going "we can't get Nirvasyl Syndrome!" is explicitly wrong, but then how can he do all that other poo poo if it was all untrue?

My point is, what other explanation in the world of the show is given for these events? There isn't one. Having your villain say something is not the same thing as challenging it. It's just a confusing allegory, it doesn't mean I think Star Wars is pro-Death Star, jeez e: the problem with that bit in BNA is basically that if we don't accept the villain at their word there's just a gaping loving hole in the story I don't even think this is a massive deal, I just thought it was weird Arist fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Aug 21, 2020 |

Rewatching, I did mistakenly conflate the immortality sources, which was gained from a similar method as Shirou, but there's definitely stuff he can do that Shirou explicitly cannot soooooooo

When I watched Promare in the theater I was getting pretty worried after an early scene that the plot was going to turn into Imaishi tackling prejudice by having all the characters turn to the camera and go "Racism... is bad" which was just about the least appealing thing in the world to me on many levels. Thankfully it doesn't stay on that course.

I'm generally a guy who supports series being as flexible in tone as they want or need to be, and I thought Baron Omatsuri was okay, it just felt kind of antithetical in a lot of ways to what I enjoy about One Piece.

It feels like you're reading a different One Piece if you think that clicks very well, but I'm talking more about like the general tone and bleakness of it just turning me off.

The point of the Vivi scene is that they're still friends. Also she doesn't, you know, die. Most of the rest of One Piece involves Luffy chasing his friends to the ends of the earth trying to save them in one way or another, the only person he really has to let go of after that is Ace

The toku stuff in Gridman ends up being the most generic and least interesting part of the whole thing, though I've never been super into tokusatsu outside of like, enjoying Power Rangers as a kid. When the series shows its hand it gets way more compelling, though. Excited for the follow-up.

Chaos;Head is based on a VN in the same series as Steins;Gate, but they honestly have very little to do with each other. The Chaos;Head anime isn't even from the same studio as Steins;Gate. Steins;Gate is consistently one of the highest rated series on MAL (it's #2 at the moment) and I really, really enjoyed it. Fantastic voice acting in both Japanese and English (the English script is also phenomenal) and really interesting direction.

I feel like Steins;Gate gets just enough right that the stuff it gets wrong is maybe a little easier to forgive. I don't love the way they play the Luka stuff but I think that its heart definitely seems to be in the right place, yeah.
