It also doesn't help that Japan has a conviction rate of 99.9% so every trial is really just a show trial.

The goon who got caught growing weed on Japanese government property avoided a long prison sentence by refusing to confess to the crime and eventually they just deported him instead because they wouldn't put him on trial without one lol

How do you gently caress up a hanging? There are literally 3 steps:

1) stand condemned man on 'X'
2) put rope round neck
3) pull big lever

The only variable is the length of the rope and we have Excel charts back from the Middle Ages where they figured this out.

Who are these volunteers?

They're usually guys who don't spend their free time analyzing the perfect way to hang a man, and I imagine the guards get about as much notice of the execution as the prisoners do

They're Japanese high school students. Specifically freshmen as the anime starts with their first day of high school. Japanese anime is almost always high school or middle school students. Even the characters piloting the robots in Evangelion are 14 and have to go to school between missions.

the shows i've seen by them are haruhi and k-on i think. loved both when they came out because i was like 14.

then i rewatched season 1 of both a couple of years ago and honestly don't get the appeal. they're just shows about teenagers in high school but the animation quality is good i guess? i'm not sure what other shows they've done but it seems like most of their shows take place in high school.

so yeah honestly i don't think their shows have much appeal to non-anime fans. still a tragedy of course.

I rewatch Haruhi occasionally and still enjoy it. I think in the case of Haruhi, the paranormal stuff combined with the way the story is told in a non-linear way makes it kinda unique.

And then knuckleheaded weebs like AFancyQuestionMark last page wonder why the rest of us assume (correctly, as it turns out) that anime is nothing but jackoff bait for pedophiles. Or ephebophiles I guess, since if you're an anime watcher you're probably the kind of person who makes that distinction seriously.

I'm sure there's a good reason for this, but why don't they simply use a massive overdose of a surgical anesthetic for death penalty?
I mean hanging doesn't seem bad but it would seem pretty clear that just going unconscious and not waking up is the ideal situation for a humane execution.

nitrogen gas would be the best for executions. it is completely painless and leaves the patient in a state where they don't really realize what's going on. also nitrogen gas is cheap and easy to come by. the reason it's not used for executions is that there are people who want the sentenced to suffer, whether they'll admit it or not.

Welcome to NHK was way ahead of its time, and really explains current incel and conspiracy culture. Unfortunately it's a little dated cuz the protagonist managed to finally pull himself out, but it was before toxic internet cultures matured and got weaponized.

that wasnt really my point. i dont personally consider any form of execution to be "humane" regardless of method. some methods cause more pain to the person being executed than others, but none of them are humane.

Sure, but if we assume that there are nations out there that will apply the death penalty, as there are, then the method that imparts the least suffering to the dying person would be the most humane, no?

there are better laws in some countries that make it illegal to execute humans at all. that is the kind of consideration i think prisoners deserve, and that is the kind of death penalty law i consider "humane": a law that bans the death penalty.

Largely because a lot of societies are conditioned to look down on the prison population and taught from a young age that only evil bad people go to prison. A lot of people never get out of that mindset so they don't really care how prisoners are treated, and conservative media will often skew things to act like prisoners get treated better than other citizens. "They get free meals and can earn college credits IN PRISON while you, a good working class citizen, suffers and struggles to make ends meet!"

In any case, I’m surprised Japan has the death penalty at all frankly. And hanging?!

Plenty of countries still have it just in case, they just never use it. In Norway they could have shot ABB but he got 21 and a secured sentence (meaning he'll never get out until he's old and feeble). Last time they executed anyone was right after WWII when they got rid of a bunch of Nazi collaborators.

They certainly can be discussed. I'm not stopping anyone from discussing anything. I'm stating that i, personally, do not see how any method of execution is humane and that I don't see much point in debating which method is more so. You clearly disagree and i'm not stopping you or anyone else from doing so? i'm just a person with an opinion.

Lolicon is the Japanese man molesting a little girl genre. Shotacon is the boy version of that, though usually framed as them choosing to gently caress a hot mom instead.

The character in question was trying to summon a demon to prove his worth as a magician and got a big tiddy dragon lady instead. She dotes on him but also wears skimpy clothing thus the joke.

that dragon maid show has a grown woman trying to seduce a 5 year old boy and the opening theme itself has her shaking his tits in front of him, not to turn this into a pedo argument though because its just gonna be people who dont watch anime vs people who had their brains rotted by anime....ironically even with that though kyoani had less pedophilia and more female employees/better working conditions than he vast majority of the industry, rip

edit: hrmm writing that out maybe less rip
