Homo for Hitler posted:While I have disdain for most anime I choose to ignore it for the most part but this anime is literally for rapists and pedophiles so maybe ban everybody who likes it no it's more like for fat, chauvanistic, incredily sexist nerds who think sexual harassment is the height of comedy there is a fairly large amount of anime for pedophiles that can be found on 4chan, but kill la kill is not that bad. credit where credit is due, etc and yeah the one scene in one of klk's episodes is really creepy but in the desensitized state you have to be in to actually watch the rest of the show it's not that bad. you wouldn't be arrested for watching it, probably, unlike the aforementioned 4chan stuff

part of the problem with anime is just that japan itself is both much looser with sexual content in general and much more sexist, so with kill la kill for example i get the feeling the average jap wouldn't really bat an eyelash at ryuuko being forced to wear a stripper outfit and then oogled by the entire male cast for laughs. the bad touch stuff i think would put them off, but the minute you start dealing with japan to begin with all bets are off as to any given piece of media being normal with regards to sex

darealkooky posted:if you wanna watch kill the kills you should just watch diebuster instead, which is the same show but only six episodes that are cool instead of a lot that aren't so cool Gunbuster vs Diebuster is a great illustration of Gainax's decline into being completely degenerate otakus. in Gunbuster the ending where she rips her shirt off and kills all the aliens is amazing, it's not really fetishized or sexualized that much, it's more like "gently caress YEAH KILL EM ALL". i guess maybe it's evoking amazons or whatever with one breast bare. and then in Diebuster in literally the first episode the girl's shirt rips off with lots of sexualization and panty shots and she does the lightning kick thing, and it's like 100% fanservice and pandering to people who saw the original combined with sexualization of underage girls that wasn't in the original. only took like 15 years. i've also read that Anno didn't even want to put poo poo like the naked bath scene in Gunbuster and had to to sell it to video rental shops because Gainax had no money. So tl/dr Anno = cool dude, Imaishi = gross tasteless otaku although i will say i'm not a super big fan of 80s anime so Gunbuster's art and soundtrack are kind of meh, while Diebuster's animation is astoundingly good icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Jul 16, 2014 |

Spacedad posted:To be fair, aside from a few standout series, anime has been largely pretty bad lately. The industry had a great boom in the early to mid 2000s and then in the last 5-6 or so years has caved in on itself, catering mostly to otaku with un-relatable repetitive crap. Even Jojo's bizarre adventure is just an otaku pandering exercise - it's fun, but it's a hollow sugar-high rush. (And Jojos is just a faithful adaption of the 80s-90s manga.) mushi-shi? kyousougiga? chihayafuru? space dandy? fma brotherhood? tatami galaxy? like, i haven't been following anime for long, but outside of miyazaki, from where i'm standing it appears that anime has pretty much always been like this. i mean maybe the otakus are multiplying or something, but it doesn't seem to me like there's some crippling drought of good anime being made today, just lots of really bad stuff in addition. don't watch that, problem solved icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Jul 18, 2014 |

Spacedad posted:Like I said, there are some standout series that are exceptions to what has become the rule. Also some of those came at the tail end of the good times leading into the implosion of the industry. you said it imploded in the mid 2000s? the oldest of the shows i mentioned came out in 2010. mushishi's second season is airing now. it doesn't seem to me like there's been any decline in the amount of good anime being made, just a much larger increase in the bad anime. and like i said, don't watch that, problem solved. and with those comments miyazaki made, i don't think miyazaki considered stuff like cowboy bebop, flcl, planetes, whatever, as good. i know the last he worked in the 'regular'/TV anime industry was the 80s. he's an angry, bitter old man who hates nazis and makes really good movies, so that's cool, but i have a feeling he would be complaining just as bad 10 years ago. also i just watched nausicaa, that's a pro watch right there. nothing like some good old leftie anti-war preaching. also holy poo poo the art and setting is good edit: Butt Frosted Cake posted:lol anime has always been otaku pandering i have no idea what this implosion is. all that's changed is instead of 10-15 shows per season with maybe 1 or 2 being good there's now like 30 shows per season with maybe 1 or 2 being good yeah this icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Jul 18, 2014 |

i'm not really sure if the growth in popularity of nerd-anime is necessarily a bad thing though. there doesn't seem to be any more artistically meritous anime than there was in 2000 but i don't think that's a situation worthy of panic or much more than mild concern, because you should always want things to improve in general. it's not like the artistic talent is being destroyed and isn't coming back, there seem to still be competent people in the industry. it just seems panicky and ridiculous to make claims like anime being dead or terrible or whatever, especially when it doesn't seem to be any less popular than it ever was

Spacedad posted:It should be taken as a wake-up-call to animators and young artists in Japan to push things in a new direction. well that would make sense, considering video games are a new medium and are much bigger now than they were 20 years ago. it's like if tv or movie fans started screaming "NOT GOOD ENOUGH", in response to video games existing as a medium and insisted the industry was about to flop over dead any day now in a metaphysical sense maybe we should all be screaming not good enough about everything, but i think it's OK for a medium to be established.

Hbomberguy posted:kill la kill is good because it examines the obsession with tits, and ultimately concludes 'tits are cool I guess but so is egalitarianism, we should smash the patriarchy and capitalism' I do appreciate that klk is honest about being a ridiculous smorgasbord of fanservice as opposed to other animes which seem to like to pretend that there is no fanservice and everything is done with pure intentions and oh my i have no idea why that panty shot's there must be a mistake. but it's still gross and weird

i finally figured out what (late?) gainax anime reminds me of, and that's newgrounds / egoraptor. i have a feeling this is not a coincidence. gurren lagann, klk, diebuster, flcl, yeah pretty much all of it seems made for hosed up 15 year old newgrounds posters / watchers

Hole Wolf posted:i think you have a very strange interpretation of a show about puberty I can see what he's saying about FLCL and I don't think he's wrong. The difference is that the hosed-up-ness of the sexuality in FLCL is one of the central points of the show, and the show is very well written and there's really not any fanservice or misogyny, while something like Gurren Lagann or KlK is poorly written, misogynistic schlock. To put it another way puberty is inherently a gross, hosed up topic and you can't really do it justice without touching that. There is no reason a saturday morning robot cartoon about saving the world(gurren lagann) should have a big titty fanservice character icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jul 20, 2014 |
