This is now the Akumetsu thread







Akumetsu's plot follows a teenager by the name of Shou Hazama, an ordinary, yet somehow comical and sleazy, high-school student, and his best friend Shiina Nagasawa.

The setup for the story is a near-future fictional Japan, where excessive corruption and speculation led the country to a massive economic downfall, so much so as to increase the public deficit to an enormous seven thousand trillion Yen, as said so by the first chapter. Much attention is given to the degraded political system, where politicians and businessmen simply enrich themselves amids the growing unrest and violence of their nation. Such an example is gave by Shiina's family, which due to crushing debts sold their own daughter into prostitution, forcing her to attend as entertainer parties for elite members of the society.

It is during one such party, attended by high-profile employees of the Ministry of Finance, that what was going to become an orgy is suddenly interrupted by a young man wearing a demonic mask, who after giving a speech on how savage and corrupted the upper class of Japan has become, proceeds to brutally slaughter one of the economic advisors by crushing his skull with an axe. Recognized by a frantic Shiina as Shou, the man simply waves the statement off as a misunderstanding, then grabs the mauled body of his victim and walks calmy to the front lobby, where he is gunned down by police and, before dying, has his head blown off by a device implanted into his own mask.

Thus, the act introduces a long, exceptionally violent campaign of murders performed by such masked individuals, targeting those who are deemed as responsible for the massive economical crisis and, as such, labeled as evil by the masked men, who all goes by the common alias Akumetsu (literally destroyer of evil).

The original Gundam was pretty anti-fascist. The original team grew up in post-war Japan.

Little witch academia is great for younger people. One of my little cousins was interested in anime so I got her watching that. It's maybe not leftist but also a lot better than average in the terms of the message it sends

never watched it but i saw a post that claims that magic is basically capital and the protagonists put it in the hands of the people so that sounds good
