recognizing that one needs a break from the forums exists on what you might call a spectrum of dignity. on one end is just drifting away for a bit and on the other is seraph84 or whatever it was. in between lies comedy and regret.

christmas boots posted:Let me take a stab at it. It's fascist because the country continues to exist despite the fact that not only was it built on a foundation of genocide, that was it's raison d'etre from the start and additionally one of the most high-profile war criminals in the government received a pardon and will likely become the leader at some point. The indigenous people are not granted sovereignty and incremental reforms appear to be the basis for hope going forward. So basically the ending of WWII?

not strictly and anime, but the only time i've encountered sometime too anime to be bearable is disgaea and that was at least half down to being painfully saccharine which i guess is nic soft or whatever's thing and a monkey cheese sort of humor that lead to a weird buck rodgers parody when i wanted to be carving a bloody path through hell in conclusion thank you for listening to this deeply personal trauma from which i immediately recovered because none of my college roommates were judgy

I liked that the hell senate involves you beating the poo poo out of all dissentors, and you can abhuse the combination mechanic to get more votes by throwing weak anti senators onto higher level pro senators lol i forgot that part, that sort of owns im sure there was a lot to love about that game but most of it just fell flat for me

KaptainKrunk posted:not to be that guy that thinks 90s anime was better (anime now definitely has a bigger variety of art styles and overall higher quality) likewise not to do the it was better before it was popular thing, but there's still a bit of an underground vibe that attaches to the older stuff in the west, perhaps in part to the specific choices of what to translate for the westerns market playing into this. lots of wild ideas and cyberpunk scifi.

He becomes more owned and less relevant as the plot goes on. tbf this is also true as 99% of us who know much about gilgamesh were initially interested because "oh the funny big bridge battle dude from final fantasy"

Dr Pepper posted:Thats because its good op i don't know much about it, but my understanding from an ex is you're supposed to get involved in the romance between the mc and the fox spirit dude. you see this in a lot of stuff with fox spirits- fox spirits are sus but at the same time they make great spouses, reflecting the fact that foxes (well only some types i assume) are monogamous.

They don't allow the public to know about nen for reasons, right?

Larry Parrish posted: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. 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 the stuff in the twitter link had a really good concise point: fascism is fundamentally the aestheticization of politics, and communism responds to this by politicizing art. libs have hosed that up a lot by coopting the superficial aspects of it, but optimistically this might drive a synthesis (note that this is not an endorsement of cozying up to the fash).

seconding Mob Psycho 100, also consider some classics like original seasons (ie before the serieses with subtitles) of Naruto and Dragon Ball, and more or less any Miyazaki film also for my joke entry i'm going for the vintage fantasy hentai Words Worth. sadly it has nothing to do with english poets. e: also Tower of God. It only has one season so far, but the manwha is amazing, and you support a korean artist who is currently finally taking the time he needs off in order to not be permanently crippled by the work ethic from hell that is what is takes to succeed with only things like an original vision and genuine talent in korea Hodgepodge has issued a correction as of 04:47 on Mar 17, 2021 |

MonsieurChoc posted:In the art book they say ORT is meant to be like an optional superboss in jrpgs. One of the reasons I love those is that they give a sense that there's something significant outside the main narrative. In RPGs, which are also defined a lot by "power levels," that helps give the sense that there's a world out there that can insist upon its own existence.

Judge Dredd Scott posted:drat a manga written by a guy who denies the nanking massacre + the existence of 'comfort women' isnt good?? cant believe it do you have a source on this? because the most I've ever found is him naming a side character after a war criminal and being embarrassed about it and then lot of projecting a really weak reading of the themes onto what the author clearly must believe to have written what they imagine he did

VideoTapir posted:Unless this is another war criminal, it wasn't naming a character after one, it was modeling his appearance (closely) and role (loosely) after one. as I remember, he sort of fades into the background and the characters side-eye his hobby of torturing ex-aristocrats in creative manners and wonder if having him in charge is a good idea. making him a sort of taintrunner, i guess? anyhow (this is where i looked it up), he hands over power to historia (who doesn't seem to exercise political power herself much but i can't remember what sort of government she delegated things to) and eventually gets titanified (not the cool type that gives you powers) by zeke.

christmas boots posted:it sounds like the last chapter might have poo poo the bed but last I checked pretty much everyone sort of turned out to be the bad guys except for the child soldiers who realized that it was kind of bullshit that they were all child soldiers by the time erin catches up to reiner, he won't even let reiner apologize because he's just glad that his old friend understands that he feels like he never had a choice but to be anything but a monster. it'd kind of suck if it really is true that the author couldn't think of a satisfying way to end it since he had erin spending most of his life depressed because he knew his own fate and the whole magical past girl deus ex machina to work with, he could have written whatever he wanted to finish things up.

Clip-On Fedora posted:A mass of lovely mass produced mobile suits overwhelming and crushing a heavily customized state of the art Gundam like a swarm of ants is something I could see happening in the original Gundam, and maybe the 80's Gundam shows, but it completely goes against the aesthetics of modern day Gundam, so I don't think we're going to see a communist faction in modern day Gundam any time soon. when in doubt, base your power fantasy on the feudal logic of being arbitrarily assigned an investment of training and material support amounting to an insurmountable advantage over 99.5% of enemies, then make having won the fight before you were even conceived look impressive
