  • I…disagree with most of your comment 😭 But I know Clamp’s character designs are an acquired taste. (Imo they always look better in manga form than in anime)

    Lelouch/Code Geass is most anime watcher’s first introduction to “revolutionary anti-hero” protagonists (I was one of those people), so I think people recommend it out of nostalgia. Also there are some twists in the story (iykyk) that are really good and I think it’s dismissive to just Cinemasins them away.

    But adults who want space wars and political drama would probably prefer Gundam and Legend of the Galactic Heroes, depending on their preferred pacing.



  • Interesting, because Castlevania is a Japanese IP, but is written by Warren Ellis and animated by the same studio as Adventure Time, one of the most beloved series to come out of the 2010s animation boom. Meanwhile DotA: DB is a western IP that was animated by Korean Studio Mir (who have also worked on the final seasons of both Legend of Korra and the Boondocks in the past).

    I got more “anime” feelings from DOTA than I did Castlevania, but I also consume more fantasy anime than the average person I think.


  • I don’t go to anime for body standards bro 😭

    Between the anime women who’d get two black eyes if they went for a light jog, Goku’s muscles somehow not ripping out of his skin whenever he got to a new level of Super Saiyan, and whatever the hell is going on with glorious skinny legend Lelouch Lamperouge and the length of his limbs, JJBA might be on the more “attainable” side of anime bodies, especially Part 4 onwards.




  • Still, it pisses me off that Not Fascism isn’t enough.

    I’m going to go against the grain here a little, and bring up race. Sorry to people tired of id pol, but please hear me out in good faith.

    I know this is going to sound inconceivable to a lot of people on Lemmy, but there are still parts of the American voter base that cannot conceive of having a president that is black/mixed race AND a woman. They don’t care about fascism, they don’t care about policy, they care about the skin color and gender of their chosen leader.

    Remember, Donald Trump rose as a direct response to the election of Obama.

    We can pretend we live in a post-race, post-sexism society, but to pretend this wasn’t a factor when hate crimes have been on the rise for multiple minority groups says otherwise. All these people coming out of the woodwork post-election results to threaten women and black people says otherwise. Wayne Gretzky and his entire family was at Trump’s victory party in Mar-A-Lago, and most of the hockey fandom gave ZERO fucks.

    I actually wonder if they would have done better if Tim Walz was first on the ticket instead of Harris.











  • Again, you are dismissing 45% of your brothers. People like you, people who probably think the same negative things as you about themselves.

    Unironically young men need positive solidarity from each other. You are not biologically designed to be fascist. You’re lonely and self-hating by social engineering. And the more you believe that social engineering, the more the toxic men win.
