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.
You know what, when you mention the movement of the characters, I see what you mean. Castlevania characters move more realistically, but it’s still pretty stylized, thus the “almost anime” feeling.
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.
You know what anime has noses and distinctive designs?
My GOAT, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.
As an US-Canadian dual citizen who grew up and was educated in Canada/Europe, I’m not gonna lie, I don’t get this argument. Canada as a confederation is 157 years old, we haven’t had the time to carve out a unifying cultural identity.
Ask any Canadian, hell ask yourself, “What is Canadian culture?” Rick Mercer has done so many street interview segments about this (we watched them during history class for funsies). It always boils down to “We’re different from/not as bad as America”, “We’re kind of like Europe” or “hockey”. The answers were also very different if you asked francophones in Quebec, francophones outside of Quebec, Acadians, or you know…Indigenous people.
Actually Rick Mercer might have been the closest thing we had to Canadian culture. And we did nothing to protect him 😞
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.
This got me. My roommate said it was the ugliest sounding guffaw they’d ever heard.
Thanks for the receipts.
Man…these legislators think about gay sex in more depth, variety, and detail than any gay person I have ever known.
…what about lesbians?
No seriously, if they’re defaulting to anti-sodomy laws, what about the other spectrum of the LGBTQ+ that are married and don’t (presumably) practice sodomy?

Tell them about Lorena Bobbitt. Modern women can learn a lot from her failure to dispose of the dick properly.
(The tactic is to shock them right back)
Probably playing off of this part of the article:
"[…] I discarded the argument that scholars haven’t reached a conclusion on whether the Gaza genocide is really taking place”, Marshall wrote in his decision.

It’s because the average person cannot conceptualize an existential threat. Hell, even I can’t really conceive of how badly climate change is gonna fuck up my life, but I listen to the people smarter than me telling me it will.
So New York kind of has something like this. They can run candidates under multiple parties. For example, they run the DNC candidates under the Democrats, but also under the Working Families Party, and both will count as a vote for them. My family members in New York always vote for the Dem candidate under the WFP because it helps them make quorum and also signals that they prefer the WFP endorsement over the DNC.
Here’s an article with a sample ballot from a district of NY. You can see Kamala and Trump under Dem/Repub, but also under WFP/Cons as candidates. Same with the senate.
The national numbers never show the breakdowns of which bubbles were actually filled in, just the totals. But I’m always curious as to what the ballot breakdown actually is.
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.
45% of Gen Z men still voted Harris, there’s tonnes of you that aren’t alt-right.
Instead of dropping dead, it’s time you guys started reclaiming what it means to be a “man”. It’s not like shitty women don’t exist, but most women band together in times of need/stress. Men need to start doing that too.

Interesting. How does one develop this kind of delusion…
