I thought the first 8 episodes of Season 4 of Attack on Titan were really good at criticizing war and nationalism and stuff but then it got more fascist-y and then went back and forth.

As a manga reader I'll just say there's a lot riding on the last chapter but generally speaking I think the narrative's opinion on fascism as an ideology is pretty clear and, while sympathetic and understanding to a degree as to why people go down that road, not supportive of it.

I thought how they built, early on, that there was a LOT of tension in the motivations of a lot of characters blimping in to Marley was really great story telling. Everyone is friends....for now, and they didnt really know at the time how divergent things would get.

All the stuff following Falco and Gabi is absolutely loving brilliant.

Havent read the manga. Dont intend to.

I’m still at a complete loss as to how the show is going to end except I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be real bad for a lot of people. The only heroic figures left right now are all either dead or jailed and I think Armin is gonna be the dude who sorts everything out

Poor loving Bertolt. In any other story he'd be that hero. They never had a chance, the way they were raised

I like my hero academia because most of the professional heroes kinda suck, all the hero-cops were just gonna let a kid die in the second episode, 2 major arcs follows 1) a character who believes professionalization of heroism is gross and fake and 2) another character whose entire syndicate is an evil subversion of Buddhism, whose man goal is to impose monetary/economic barriers on villains and professional heroes changing the systrmic licensing the government regulates into a biological one, that's pay to play. Though i dont like how the law enforcement apparatus never seems to be wrong or ill intentioned so far

Also the last four years were ghastly, so groups of kids coming together to accomplish big things really resonated with me as hopeful

I'd argue at heart it's a right wing show but that's mostly due to superheroes as a genre being right wing

also the MLA are literally patterned off of leftist guerilla movements, though their ideology is magneto poo poo in a world where everyone's an x-men
The standard hegemony under a blonde haired blue eyed strongman being a lie whose time is quickly running out is a bit on the nose

I dunno what mla is though . I only watch dubs

Also all might as a social icon being a way better teacher of heroism than all might the teacher.

I dunno there is a ton of really fun subtext to MHA that's played so straight that I'm never sure if the author intended for it or not.

"Crime goes down when a murderer targets only cops" is particularly wtf. Though that's explicit text

e: MHA would have ended up being a hell of a lot better if it was about a powerless Deku getting through things with his knowledge and ingenuity, rather than just about a kid arbitrarily being handed the most powerful weapon in existence.

that's one of the early premises which was repeatedly contradicted and discarded. i think the final explanation was that the aliens are invaders and a different godlike race of aliens sent the gantz technology for no particular reason.

That last part happens a lot in the dudes stories. In Inuyashiki, the old man and teen are obliterated because of an alien's fender bender so they put their consciousnesses into robot bodies and hightail it out of there before they get in trouble

Invincible's animation wouldn't really be out of place in your standard mid-budget shounen tv anime. The bigger problem is that the art style is painfully generic and intentionally so. All it's really got going for it to stand out visually is the few times it amps up the gore.
Yeah it seems like they REALLY skimped on funding episodes 2-7 and realized they had an assload of money for the last episode to do animation
