i'm curious to see how nagatoro differs from takagi-san, because the former seems a bit more extreme and the latter i thought was too gentle


theyre both by men who should be jailed but at least nagataro had a violent start before falling into placid romance

practically every other live action romance in japan is about an older guy chasing after a younger women, with some mild resistance from here at first. its a popular story

Mashiro no Oto had an interesting first episode, but it felt like it went through half a season's worth of character drama plot in the span of 20 minutes, and then ended on a very tonally dissonant comedy cliffhanger, so I'm really not sure what to make of it.

Thats how the manga was too, i liked it. Very nice and fast pacing

They skipped it in the anime, but the manga opens up with her at the city office. Her dad's dead but her mom ran away. She gets on a scholarship for the school and the city offers to take care of the 'bureaucracy' in lieu of any relatives, since there any none that care

I have this weird problem where when I'm watching Super Cub I keep expecting Shimarin to suddenly drive around the corner on her scooter and when she doesn't I get oddly frustrated. The show has a very similar chill energy to Yuru Camp.

they take place in the same area

Raenir Salazar posted:



e: I'm very confused, is Super Cub not actually about haunted scooters? Is it just a fun and cute slice of life anime of girls enjoying their hobbies? Have I been fooled yet again!?

its a dark portrayal of social awkwardness and the typical journey of propelling oneself into a single life defining hobby in lieu of social success

the darkness of the series is perhaps illustrated by the 4 people that have died so far, and the gleefulness with which our protagonist receives those facts

The fact that they exist mainly to shill toys undermines any message they try to have that could possibly be antiwar. The toys must be cool and therefor even its bleakest portrayals of war are cool. In the end they are a part of Japan’s military industrial complex and I can not morally support the gundam series

86 is trying to Say something about soldiers being invisible to the civilian world... except it's completely unconvincing. The animation and mech design, is great, the unit's characterization isn't bad (if a tad cliched), but the writing falls apart when you think even a little about it. People who don't have rights don't get the right to bear arms and inflict violence, historically this is the first thing that is stripped from the underclass and celebrated by the overclass. Ronald Reagan famously passed gun control laws targetting african americans. Putting together a coherent force of slave soldiers and giving them weapons and oppression just makes them mutiny and gently caress you up. And it takes much, much more than a mere 9 years to teach people to Hate another.

And a war of extermination against swarms of autonomous rogue robots? That's not a "somebody else's problem", that's an existential threat that you can't just wish away once the kill-bot's factory spec obsolescence date ends.

I don’t really agree with parts of this, but mind you I haven’t seen the actual show. Historically speaking there have been examples of soldiers without rights that have been used successfully, ignoring the Mamluks and Jannisarries cause their status doesn’t really fit right-less, you have examples such as all the people the Mongols forcibly conscripted or the use of helots in ancient Greece. Examples of soldiers lacking in rights can also be found in punishment battalions or with hiwis.

And I’d argue 9 years is very much a short enough time to get people to hate each other with a bit of propaganda. It’s happened plenty in history!
