10:19 oh so you are a death cultist/ socialist. no point in watching rest of this .

I recently rewatched the show because season 2 is in production. It wasn't as good as I remembered, but I'm still pretty hyped for the next season. And I've regularly listened to the OST for over a decade. As for the discussion of Garterbelt... Actual Black people have made videos coving the history of why Black people tend to be depicted so poorly in anime (I highly highly recommend The Lost Crusader's "Are Big Anime Lips Racist?: The History of Blackface in Anime"), but the very abridged version is that for decades the only depitions of Black people available in Japan were imported minstrel stuff, so to a large extent the continued racist depictions are very much largely a matter of ignorance that that's problematic; it's only in the last decade that there started to be an active campaign in Japan to actually teach visual artists to not base Black characters on minstrel depictions, which has apparently had significant success.

As an interesting note, the anime tries to make up for the paper-thin plot by inserting scenes of the other Hunters discussing strategy and going about their daily lives. Those weren't in the comic, if not for that it's mostly Korean superman fighting his way through a series of rejected RPG mook designs.

THE SPAGHETTI SCENE IS THE BEST PART OF THE SHOW 😭😭😭

Watch Bojack Horseman if you want character some what like Rudeus that’s actually well written

I so deeply hope that you do another set of videos on the more rrcent chapters!

bruh its called making stuff

tbh, if this is a moral debate i'd ask which is worse: an adult that looks like a child, or a child that looks like an adult? By my own dumb logic, if its about the fact they look like children, i get that, but then we have to remember that a lot of anime has its central themeing around middle and high school, nearly a lot of characters in these shows are under the age of 18 and would classify them as minors. Your example of MHA is a goid example of a moral grey area for me, as a lot of those characters are still under 18, yet we green light making p0rn out of them. At the end of the day, its about what people do, whether or not they act on those impulses in a positive manner (with an adult) or a negative one (with actual minors), and I'd argue the latter is worse.

I'm a grown ass adult. The whole point is i pay taxes, and as long as I'm not breaking a law, i can watch whatever i please, "problematic" or not.

The main reason I keep going back to read Solo Leveling is that its success caused SO many offshoots that follow the same. Bloody. Formula. And somehow, they almost always manage to do it worse.

I was scrolling through your videos earlier, saw this title, and thought: "Is that about Blue Lock?" *looks at thumbnail and sees pentagon* "Yup, that's Blue Lock."

Oh hell yeah I was waiting for this one, thank you kindly <3

Turning Red is very bad at showing generational trauma. Ming is a sociopath who shouldn’t be allowed to be a mother and shouldn’t get a redemption at the end. No decent mother would look at her daughter’s drawing and show up to a store to show this drawing. But the movie is persuaded that this is just a consequence of her childhood trauma. Thus at the end when they reconcile this is too quick and easy for a redemption. Plus the movie takes its stakes mostly for laugh. We have two big red pandas in Canada and no authority will charge them from destroying that concert hall ? Plus it ends like a She Hulk scene with the awful twerk scene. Look what happened to Pixar’s greatness. I dare anyone who liked Turning Red to defend that twerk scene. This movie is a disaster because it encourages bad behaviors for teenagers. I mean in the end Mei keeps her panda which has been shown earlier to be rageful and dangerous. It’s like she started to take drug and then she continues because it’s her choice. For me this is the real failure of a movie, whose people have related to because they relate to Mei but you don’t realize that the moral is very questionable and dangerous.

Rudeus a 1 year old child crawling around and putting panties on his face is kinda funny because he genuinely doesn’t know any better. Rudeus the 35 year old man doing so is just gross.

I unironically have a theory that the main character is in Hell. The girls were victims of his perverted nature in life, and this nightmare of endless reincarnation is his punishment.

So it was somewhat expected what was going to happen......and then the final part of last episode went......holy shite

The fact that you can admit that you are wrong and actively look to incite change because of your own wrongdoing shows a lot of character and I honestly have gained a lot of respect for you based on that

Of course we all know that the peak of masculinity is Felix

25:16 Griffith!!! 😡

One thing that I think is worth mentioning is that a lot of people who accept the thousand-year loli demand doylist arguments in other pieces of media. Obviously not everyone is like that, but a lot of same people who accept or even want the thousand year loli in their media also demand to know why there’s a woman knight in their medieval game or why there’s a wealthy black man in a show about Victorian era England. People who accept the Watsonian argument can get picky when it’s employed do justify things they already don’t like.

I know its not as horrible as other stuff............but this is still disguisting as hell

The fact that it is unexpected that Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete would be the best anime of the season just proves that people still don't have a healthy relationship with sexuality. From any reasonable perspective, it's a great slice of life - likeable characters, enjoyable conflicts, good humour, wholesome relationships, compelling development and entertaining parodies - but because it happens to be about sexuality, it must be any number of moralistic buzzwords and therefore PROHIBITED. Despite claiming to belong to advanced, progressive societies, many people still see sexuality as something shameful, especially Americans who just can't shake their puritan ancestry.

To be simple and straight forward, many philosophical takes are based on presumptions about morality, that regardless of how disgusting or obscene the material is, you cannot dispute it if you do not make your values clear in the first place. This brings into question of what is actually valued, if the value is risk of harm, then ultimately all arguments against fiction would require evidence that the consumption of fictional content can lead to an increased risk of harm. However, if you value the obliteration of anything you personally or what you think the majority are disgusted by, then that is what guides your morality. In today's modern society, our judicial systems are largely based on assessing risk of harm and setting laws that follows this value. This would be the normative claim, we value risk of harm, thus fiction is entirely fine provided there's no evidence against its consumption. Disgust is not a viable tool for dictating morality and a lot of people begin with disgust and further attempt to rationalize it with presumptions about "self-evident" claims. Some are often arguments around normalization and consumption, neither of which are actually self-evident or backed by any evidence towards them.

11:13 funny in hindsight that aoyama was used for the example here

idk sounds like this guy could write a killer story whole story on his own with all the suggestions that he's throwing out there, idk maybe he could even make a better story than tokyo revengers with a better ending

this entire video seems like it's just going to be a long string of "what the fuck am i watching" moments regardless of whether or not i have watched the source material (and i havent) which is a feat and a half after mahoako was brought into my brain

It will forever be hysterical to me that the Abridged Series is a more faithful adaptation of the novels than the actual anime. Not only in that it better preserves and portrays the themes and messages of the original source material, but in that it also (probably accidentally) reintroduces similar key plot beats the anime actively cut. The entire bit where Asuna can't open a menu??? While not as extreme in the novels, Asuna's lack of knowledge and experience regarding video games is an ACTUAL PLOT POINT, especially in the Progressive series. Her unique style of swordplay is a direct result of her initial inexperience with key features of the game's battle system (Who needs to parry if you never take damage to begin with?) and her pre-existing real world athleticism. Abridged Kirito's character development also very similarly parallels Novel Kirito's. Novel Kirito, while certainly not the borderline sociopathic figure we see in the Abridged series, is a kind but admittedly very flawed character. What he and Abridged Kirito share is that both are deeply afraid of developing relationships with other people for fear of being hurt, and their deep parallels with Akihiko Kayaba. Novel Kirito never wanted to beat the game, he fully believed he was simply not the type of person capable of accomplishing it. Not only that, but he develops a somewhat twisted love for SAO despite the risk it poses to his life, his pre-existing imposter syndrome mutating into him fully feeling that he belongs more to the world of SAO than he ever did to the world of real life. He habitually forms deeper bonds with NPCs than he does with other living players and avidly comes to their defense when other players try to do what he perceives as harming them. Hell, there's even a scene where he actively sobs into the arms of one after an attempt on his life directly after leaving the First Town. (It's part of what makes his relationship with Yui hit so damn hard after the reveal.) It's because he's the only person to truly love and appreciate SAO as the world it is, acquiring Dual Wielding from a stat build and completing side quests that only someone *actively exploring and appreciating SAO would obtain* (NOT because he's some chosen one motherfucker, but because he *played the goddamn game*), that Akihiko Kayaba even notices him to begin with. Kirito sees his twisted reflection in Kayaba, and actively feels shame for it. He hates himself, but more specifically he hates the part of him he knows could've become someone like Kayaba. While the Abridged series chooses to draw parallels between Kayaba and Kirito using a far different method for humor, it still technically adapts this plot point that is otherwise entirely absent from the anime.

Spell fire existed before mtg

One of my personal gripes with the "1000 year old Loli" trope, is how it's utilized. I mostly see it in the form of either a 1000+ year old deity that looks and acts like a gradeschooler or a 1000+ year old deity that looks like a gradeschooler and acts like a standard adult. If you wanna go a comedic route, them acting their age has great potential in that department. Imagine how funny it would be to have this grade school looking person roll up with "I was alive when your people we're living in caves" and "Back in my day, every single word in your vocabulary wasn't even invented yet". If you wanna go the serious route, you could explore the struggles that come with having thousands of years worth of life experience, yet being stuck with the appearance of a child. Imagine what their dating life would be like. You could show the challenge of them trying to find a romantic partner who is interested in dating someone with that level of maturity and life experience, but the physical appearance of a child. (Since the kind of people who want a relationship with a mature adult, typically also want said person to look like they've at least reached 18) So many 1000+ year old Lolis have little narrative reason to even be well... a 1000+ year old deity in a grade school meat suit. (Not every weird thing in anime needs some kind of narrative justification, but if you're going to walk the slipperly slope of characters who look like children being involved with themes of romance and or sexualisation, (like putting them in revealing outfits and having them be presented romantically/sexually proaktive or even seductive) their should be some narrative reason they don't just look like grownups.) At best, the character is a 1000+ year old adult in a child body, because their some supernatural being that ages differently, but has the maturity of the average adult. At worst, the character looks and acts like a gradeschooler and is only an "adult" in age, so that sexualisizing the character is tinted with a "technically-" debate, instead of emidiatly being classed as really gross and morally dubious. It's like wanting to portray something in a very morally questionable/dubious way, without wanting the full social consequences and responsibility that come with it.

This video agreed so well I couldn’t even tell how old it was until I looked at it about halfway through

The bad guys are psychopaths. I'm ok with that.

Now I'm going to have to eat all my pasta noodles by themselves. Thanks.

I honestly wonder how these voice actors feel about their job...

The thousand-year loli is everyone's final form

I was one of those people who was against loli beforehand-but I changed my mind a few months ago as I realized and heard some things. First off, apparently the term loli doesn't have anything to do with age anyhow, it's just a small/petite character. They don't have to look like or be labeled as a child anyhow, and that is to say that they look like children, which, in my opinion, they really don't, like at all (to a point that is-when they start getting a realistic body or the grubby hands that's a hard no for me, it has also nothing to do with height or Nahida from he shin impact wouldn't appear on my late night searches so much). There's also the fact that they're not real, so any age applies is extremely arbitrary. What's stopping the creator who listed a character as 16 from listing them as 20? I think that what someone writes isn't necessarily reflective of their real life tastes or actions, and they should not be judged by it, or we might need to lock up the Payday developers for extreme bloodlust and planning bank robberies. It really is the same argument, and just how there is no definitive (there are more studies towards it, however) proof on video games increasing or decreasing people's aggression, there are no studies based on the correlation between this content and pedophilia. So with all the arguments I saw or thought of, I believe that Legality of these characters is a waste of energy to talk about, as in a fictional work, written by someone, you should be able to make any choice you wish (even if it's to be frowned upon-Even I have my limits on what I can accept), but morality isnt. This here is not only a little bit of a useless topic as it brings little to no value in real life, it is something that can be talked about for hours. I personally summarize lewding lolies as "it's immoral, but so is hentai and porn in general" so I really don't see a moral problem anyhow with making the content. P.S. It's also worth noting that I think that when sexualising any fictional character in an image the way they act is irrelevant, as I see no big need to correlate the two (you can if you like though, so that's why it's an afterthought) so any real life problems that would arrive from someone at such a young age (illegal lolies as you may call it) don't work here.

when the film first came out I tried translating the actual lyrics for several songs and they were DRAMATICALLY different from the actual French lyrics - Love is an Open Door becoming Love is a Gift and Let It Go becoming Liberated, Delivered... I _really_ wanted to do a direct translation song, singing "l'amour est une porte ouverte" - when the girls were watching it in French I sang under my breath the translated versions because they sounded SOOO silly compared to the re-written song "l'amour est un cadeau" I'm completely tone deaf, so my "singing" comes out almost on a single note, but if someone could do it then it'd be a joy to watch and laugh at 🤣

Stark's canonically *cold* penis

Why immortal child trope sucks.

my thoughts- I don't give a shit I just wanna see people fighting, give me people fighting.

I really wish the bad stuff in the anime were not there because it really is a good anime with great animation and a great story. Its a great anime...except for those abhorrent moments. I can handle the peeping and the stealing of panty's. I cannot handle the literal molestation of a minor.

I like to think of the Demons like ChatGPT. They mimic sapience but they are not actually self aware like humans. Its all an adaptation to prey on humans.

100% agree, the main character could have been a really interesting character if they anime let him.

Mushishi is a truly unique take on how the elements of fantasy interacts with the world it resides in, I highly recommend it.

Gary Sue is worse than Mary Sue.

"Push a fat man to save 50 people" kind of situation. Normal people will hesitate, psychopaths have no problem with it

wait, I thought SAO was already .hack abriged

There's a lot to be read into with the Demons. I personally don't think they're supposed to be an allegory to shed light on real problems of xenophobia or even racism. They're never really depicted as a threat (to Frieren at least), she dispatches every demon in an almost anti-climactic way. Even the demon king, though we never see his defeat, is a long gone fact, the biggest threat has already been defeated. Maybe they're supposed to be more of an internal reflection rather than an external one, like all of the worst parts of being human that aren't necessarily inherent to a particular person or type of person.

Personally no matter how many video essays I see about it- I hate this trend of Fantasy anime with a Demon King we never get to see frfr, and the D&D party setup. The actual writing of a LOT of the newer anime is great, but the worlds they inhabit feel uninspired and same-ish to the point I cant get invested. We've seen this combination of characters, places and themes in 4-5 times already in just this quarter alone
