  • wait you think people dislike goblin slayer BECAUSE it shows sexual violence as bad? you think the people who dislike goblin slayer are sitting around going "oh if only there were more wacky sexual harassment i might like this show"?

    the problem with goblin slayer is that it shows the sexual violence in a way where it clearly expects the audience to be jacking off and there is no amount of arcs where characters process trauma that will undo that. your standard anime shittiness simply does not compare



  • you'll notice i didn't include dragon ball on the list of anime that didn't have sex pest stuff or fascism! and again, there's a big difference between dragon ball and goblin slayer

    you're basically saying "all 80s movies love sexual assault, so it's fine that i like revenge of the nerds," and when i respond with a list of 80s movies that don't have any sexual assault or harrassment in them you say "well have you seen how han treats leia in star wars?" those are two very different things! both are bad, but they are at very different levels of it



  • here's some great anime that neither enjoy sexual violence nor fascism. there's plenty more out there, sex pest stuff is hardly "every classic anime". some of these may have some in it but they certainly aren't enjoying it

    • revolutionary girl utena
    • serial experiments lain
    • turn a gundam
    • millennium actress
    • showa genroku rakugo shinju
    • inu-oh
    • madoka magica
    • keep your hands off eizouken
    • liz and the blue bird

    also it's real fucking gross to say "a poor taste joke is exactly the same as on screen sexual assault with deeply fash vibes" there's a big difference between urusei yatsura and goblin slayer

    well by that point you've seen enough to know it's mostly a scathing satire of car dependent infrastructure

    i mean revolutionizing the world is pretty self explanatory.

    movie spoilers

    it's turning into a cool car so that your girlfriend can get away from the high school that metaphorically represents her abusive brother








  • misread this as daicon instead of daitarn and was like "yeah no shit, she has a lightsaber duel with darth vader and yoda does rakugo. that's what daicon is, ready player one for the 80s otaku compressed into 4 minutes so you get all the fun leo point moments and cool animation but none of the bullshit"

    this is very funny

    yeah why did he make kai a greaser punk? kai is just kind of a loser who isn't immediately willing to throw himself into battle but grows up when he has no other choice. he wasn't leading a gang and forcing amuro to help him break into military bases

    mobile suit gundam (1979)

    these two basically INVENTED the yaoi doujin scene, the people simply love toxic situationships. and the sequels live up to that legacy, char's counterattack especially

    when they get to it you should watch episode 3, which is char doing toxic schoolboy yaoi with garma for an hour (in addition to revealing that yas thinks the way he killed garma was char's super move). it's very fun, the rest of it is pretty whatever

    say what you will about yas, but the man can draw a comic!
