Instead of watching an anime version of all these Japanese authors I've decided to read their books instead.

and also watch an anime version of someone reading their books too

The depressing part is that GFL has a really cool post-apoc setting and aesthetic that you could totally tear out and have the characters just be regular characters that aren't embodiments of guns

idk, guns have such a different cultural context there that it seems fine

like that sol show is probably about sport shooting or airsoft like all the others

They're androids that are designed to work with a specific gun so it's really not that different from any other near future sci fi thing where people use modern day guns except with more fun designs and the occasional deep cut like with Ribeyrolles

considering that the entire plot of gfl is that humans created a world in which robots could fight wars with guns themselves and then the world went so completely to poo poo that only the barest remnants of human culture and art remain, i dont think gfl is uncritical towards gun culture

They look like 10 meter target rifles, Olympic Sports shooting type stuff that normally uses precharged pneumatic cylinders for power.

the gijinka handwringing is always weird to me because I've never seen people who specifically condemn them extend that critique to violence (incl gun violence) existing for entertainment in media in general, and often enjoy far more ultraviolent media than the three popular mobile games this stuff is mostly confined to

They shoot these lil things that are just the lead equivalent of a paper hole punch and their air rifles always look like really wierd space guns. I'm not super interested in olypmic shooting but their kits always looked neat.

Kantai Collection in particular bothers people because it's specifically glorifying the IJN, and I think the other mobile games attract controversy in part by association with Kantai Collection. But obviously that's not the only reason.

Azur Lane also avoided the uncomfortable pro-Axis Powers implications just by having non Japanese boats from the start instead of being coy about it.

I thought one of the artists quit in a massive huff because the staff weren't patriotically Chinese enough? Or is this another incident?

i only know about some of the gfl drama like someone told me the story of one of their artists resigning publically on twitter complaining about management, and the ceo fired shots on weibo which dragged someone else from the team that also got fired... except they live in the same house as the ceo

and one of the other artists got run over by a car and hasn't recovered, and one of the most prolific ones is literally a cop
