Yeah, you sure showed this guy.

Hope that ANN dick was worth it, fucking cunt...

Censorship is censorship, plain and simple. It doesn't matter if it makes you uncomfortable, you don't have the right to declare what does and doesn't get to come stateside because it offends you you're a whiny little bitch who can't accept that there are people who can take a little spice because they're not pussies.

ANN types need to invent more censorship for it actually makes their existence valid. It’s kind of like a competition to see who can be the most useless out of the bunch of Westaboos that run their “company”.

So a new police theme anime came out today and ANN decided to review it for their preview guide. Anyone want to guess what ensued?

From what I saw, they just cried about how "boring" it is. Not going back to it, I'm staying off ANN during the Preview Guide since I got shows this season I'm hyped for and don't want to lose brain cells to Caitlin's shitty take on.

 

[Martha Speaks]

ANN's preview guide hasn't gotten to the shows I care about yet so I thought I'd take one last look. The forums have been overtaken by discourse about the police anime, but what I find most amazing is...

What got me is this person's last post was from 2010, but they just came back to post this arguing against the guy. Granted going off the name I suspect it's Chiaki Hirai of AniFem (who also wrote a tweet thread calling the show out for being copaganda)

If they’ve never seen or care for You’re Under Arrest, then their opinion is honestly meaningless. Of course, this is ANN we are talking about here, but the thought still stands.

Caitlin (the one who actually called it copaganda, unlike the rest who just cried about how boring it was. Of course if it would be one it was going to be Caitlin) gives the show a mention in her review.

Are cops even seen as negatively in Japan? If not this just reminds me of when Zac shat on the airsoft girls hobby anime because of AMERICAN gun politics

How could she put Brooklyn Nine Nine and Law and Order in the sentence as You're Under Arrest? That’s just more insulting than thinking they speak for the Japanese population about how they use their police.

Law and Order is basically one of the last remains of broadcast television in the United States whose audience consists of only baby boomers at this point.

To lump in You're Under Arrest with that is highly insulting.

Redo and Mushoku are full of obvious content, sure, but WEP was an utter betrayal to them and other progressives. They initially flocked to the show with doe-eyed hopes it would be their progressive messiah talking about gender, sex, and social issues when they heard the premise. What they instead got was a show that told them the exact opposite of what they wanted to hear. Women are more emotional and erratic than men and fundamentally different. The tomboy characters isn't trans, she's just a tomboy who likes men. Transmen are biologically women no matter what they say. Not every weird guy is a bad person and sometimes its your own paranoia and faults clouding your judgement. It was a bait and switch of their own making and for the weeks they championed the show they ended up looking like fools.

If you look at Redo, it was actually a success marketing wise.

You want a high budget hentai with 13 episodes in a time when Hentai OVA is produced by the lowest bidder? Done

The LN can't show nips drawn by a famous hentai artist so BD incentives include official porn drawn by the artist himself? Done.

Seiyuu chemistry being one of the best for a hentai type OVA consisting of a Twink, a bunch of eroge seiyuu including one who is absolutely shameless and was the voice of the chick who got raped in goblin slayer? Done.

Redo may have set off a lot of alarms in the eyes of ANN but it was successful in it's goals and ANN can still see why it did well enough to avoid worst anime

 

[Protistology]

So you would recommend WEP? The finale doesn't ruin the rest of the show?

The show wasn't anything to get upset about. It just started off slow. There were a few jokes and the main character even mentions how her dad hated the cops for ruining their trip by giving him a speeding ticket. It'll take a few episodes to find its footing, I'm sure. Are speeding tickets over there really around $1,500 ? No wonder people get pissed. I'm surprised they didn't pull some dumb shit like Mercedez did with Aquatope and call it a "queer coded" show since apparently women can't be platonic friends. Although Rebecca Silverman thought it was yuri, much to her dismay. Even Richard Eisenbeis has to make it political and mention "racial profiling" since he's a white dude in Japan. Oh, you poor oppressed gaijin. Funny you mention Chiaki, I found some dirt on that troon. Tomoaki Hirai is his actual name (he still uses it as on his linkedin profile and it's still his facebook URL despite going by "Chiyaki" now) and he went to College Park High School in Pleasant Hill, CA and graduated in 2010. It seems that Hirai has a kink for translating trap manga and is some sort of furry. A three-headed catgirl? His main twitter profile is private in order to save us the weird gay furry shit that constantly gets retweeted, I'm sure. Don't worry, there's still anime commentary and ugly selfies avaiable on a separate anime shitposting account: https://twitter.com/AnimatedEmpress/

Mercedez you say? She wrote the AniFem review of this show, which jumps on it for being "copaganda" even moreso than Caitlin did. As someone who normally likes Mercedez, this review is actually not what I'm normally used to from her.

I feel bad for the dude who was just talking about the cute girls fishing anime, and got buried beneath the police anime discourse (his post was sandwiched between Nick and Chiaki).

It's out, everyone. And it's good. (The reviews, not the show I didn't watch that.)

Caitlin's review isn't even making any sense whatsoever.

Someone update the ED article since it's outdated and missing a lot of shit (also MarzGurl was never ANN staff?). Lynzee and Caitlin have enough dirt that they probably deserve their own articles like Zac and Jacob too.

@MarzGurl does/did have an account their forums, but I don't think she's written an article for ANN.

The anime is pretty mediocre even for being the typical "Winter Trash Anime" show that pisses off ANN because the Crunchyroll version censored the only redeeming part.

Back to the police anime discourse on the forums, Takato's back drinking the 'criticism = harassment" koolaid.

What a little bitch.

New 3DCG anime just dropped and in true Caitlin fashion, Caitlin can't be arsed to talk about the story even though the other reviewers do.
