animist posted:my hot take on Blindsight and Echopraxia is that peter watts is basically a coward attached to feeble positivist notions of consciousness. He wants to believe he's totally rational and in control of himself, and he's terrified of letting go of that illusion of control. lol that's kind of a good point. besides my brain is giving me the wrong emotions all the time, it's not spooky as much as annoying

Good soup! posted:I think it's because when it came out there was the thing about it saving anime and being a game changer or whatever but instead of something like say cowboy bebop, it was just horny annoying cringeworthy ultra anime poo poo that a vocal contingent of anime fans couldn't shut the gently caress up about theres like 4 animes i actually like because the first ones i saw was cowboy bebop, kiki's delivery service, my neighbor totoro, and stand alone complex lol. the standard for me is set so insanely high that 99% of the genre is basically unwatchable. well, and dbz, but i knew it was stupid as a kid; i basically thought of it as animated power rangers, which also sucked really bad but was cool regardless. i remember trying to watch inyuasha because it came on toonami and just being like 'god people actually like this...?'

i only watched dubbed anime op. if i hear that mickey mouse voice on an anime i just turn it off. you know what i'm talking about. like vanille from ff13's voice. i can't take it seriously and so as a defense mechanism i just watch poo poo that's dubbed because its less common. also for real subbed anime sucks to watch. the whole point is to look at the cool drawings but i can't do that and read the subtitles.

try to tell me that black lagoon's english dub isn't superior and i will laugh at you. however the japan arc does kind of gently caress up and do the thing where everyone's speaking english even though there's supposed to be a language barrier in a few spots.

RaySmuckles posted:bumping "planetes" again; its about space garbage men. it definitely can be a bit...overly silly in moments, but the whole thing is an excellent view of capitalism and imperialism and is good hard space sci-fi. its really worth a full viewing cuz the ending is incredible planetes pwns. i dont really have a suggestion quite like it, but psychopass is a lot like SAC. it's a quasi cyberpunk world but takes it in different directions than what it means to be human or whatever. dont watch the other seasons, you'll understand why if you finish s1.

Bootleg Trunks posted:I appreciate reincarnated as a slime for making goblins into people whereas goblin slayer made them into rapists the wandering inn is a semi-endless web serial that clearly has a lot of anime influences but the goblins in it are pretty based. for some reason i think the misunderstood forest midget kind of goblin is cool, and its rare to find outside of literally like a handful of fantasy books.

Fascism wouldn't be dangerous if it wasnt appealing. Hell, the heart of horseshoe theory isnt even wrong; much fascist and communist writing differ only on how they define the 'in group'. Fascists support the perceived majority and communists everyone, minus our enemies. It does blur a little. Most of that is fascist thinkers intentionally piggy backing on known populism, but it doesnt magically stop being inherently appealing because of that.

Hodgepodge posted:eh, tbh this is a really weak understanding of communist and fascist writing. i get what you're saying in terms of contemporary politics, but if you have any deeper understanding this stuff you're not showing it right now I dunno I think a lot of dumbass libs are like 'wow why would anyone be a fascist??'. My post overly simplified but fascism would never have succeeded if it was not on some level appealing and convincing. I think you have to be kind of a surface level dipshit or a sociopath to fall for it, but that's my own bias speaking up. If I really though that many people were stupid I'd be a liberal.

ghost in the shell was my first anime besides kiki's delivery service and totoro (which pwn) and when i later joined the air force and realized it had a lot more to say than 'wow cool cyberpunk' i was slightly thrown for a loop lol.

Toph Bei Fong posted:Welcome to the NHK is a legit good novel, an okay manga, and a weird anime. It was odd experiencing them in succession, kind of like seeing Flanderization occur in real time. It's legitimately one of my favorite anime and personally as a barely sociable freak with an over active imagination like that it was very relatable. I, too, want my wierd sucidial girlfriend to appear out of thin air. I wouldn't credit it with changing my life or anything but I did stop drinking and start forcing myself to hang out with people around the same time.

KomradeX posted:Did how bad 90s localization could be just convince the absolute most soft headed people that anything that isn't literal 1:1 translation is bad? No, they're the kind of people who freak out when a fan translation of an LN doesn't have those brackets instead of quotes. I don't know why these people don't just learn Japanese. Well other than it takes effort and jacking off to anime doesn't.

I read a lot of English web novels and there's a lot of ones I skipped because they just had bizzaro formatting and really wierd stilted dialogue, almost like they were written by a non-native or sometimes even non-fluent speaker, and I was super confused because nobody in comments ever mentioned it. Then I downloaded a fan translation by accident when I was pirating an LN once and was like... Oh. That's why, these wierdos are writing stuff thats purposefully like incredibly lovely translations.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:the best webnovel translation was the one where the guy intentionally and openly refused to translate any common noun. it was almost completely unreadable, because obviously there weren't footnotes or anything explaining what all these untranslated terms meant. isnt that just reading chinese or whatever at that point lol. except with latin characters

sometimes im convinced that the Japanese equivalent of the CIA funds all that. same with shows like psychopass where Japan is inexplicably a superpower and has magic future tech but is also isolationist with little to no foreign contact.

The best isekai is actually grimgar of fantasy and ash, and it's major fail that there's no second season of the anime because it's very beautiful.

TenementFunster posted:Black Lagoon is a leftist anime. they kill just so many nazis in ep 5. i rest my case. it's all about how the wake of the cold war has created the space for incredibly brutal organized crime lol. there's even an actual CIA officer in it. it's pretty woke for a crime show.

its mediocre at best but uh, a hero's war counts as an isekai where one of the main characters just shrugs, drops the main 'plot', and goes to lead a violent semi-democratic revolution in the federation's largely independent duchy where slavery is still practiced. the other hero is aware and sends a bunch of material aid. the federal monarch basically has to shrug and accept it because they declared that the recognized hero is above the law basically.
