Code Geass remains relevant because it's peak insanity that flies off the cliff yet sticks the landing when lesser shows crumble at taking such chances. We call it KINO.

As a zoomer with better taste than my peers (not a high bar) this actually is shocking to me. I've put the Gundam Franchise in the 'too hard' pile for a long time, maybe it's time I figure out where to start.

I was talking about Turn A in particular, and that's a nice place to start. Gundam has lots of things the 'arms would consider redpilled. The head of the military-industrial complex in Zeta is canonically Jewish. In general, every show is about enemies using lofty ideologies they don't really believe in to commit atrocities and gain power and profit, yet at the same time these ideologies being proven to work in the right circumstances. It's quite cool.

Most Brave shows, Xabungle, SRW, and SEED Destiny did this better. Even the new Shinkalion is doing it better.

Wut? I don't think anyone was arguing if Eureka Seven and Code Geass were made for any particular generation in mind, I only brought up Zoomers because the zoom-zooms go for streaming more than Millennials. They'll only watch something if they can binge it on Netflix, YouTube, Crunchyroll or other streaming sites. Code Geass still is streaming, while Eureka Seven has been removed from Crunchyroll and therefore is now "irrelevant". It's simple as.

Sauce: I've worked with Zoomers who were getting into anime. They can't/won't pirate on their phones.

Why not? Do they not know which sites to use? I remember before I started using pirate sites and torrents regularly, I found lots of shows on Youtube and Internet Archive, which technically qualifies as piracy -- are they willing to dig for stuff on Youtube?

Imagine having an anime or manga stick the landing in 2024. What a crazy thought.

Bro I don't even know what most of those are LMAO

An original anime sticking the landing no less.

YouTube, yes. I think it's all app-based for them, any use of browsers were 50/50. None of the Zoomers I worked with said they had PCs at home.

The future's pretty bleak.

I saw the chick is a chick immediately, seems like a skill issue to me. Kinda weird to say a story is redpilled then immediately talk about how gender ambiguous the main character is.

Im sorry, the kind of sexual dimorphism in manga Im exposed to is this

Not this

Chalk it up to lack of experience

The zoomers I work with only know how to use some sites like kiss anime and zoro.to, I've also seen them use YouTube. and as one myself I know how to pirate for PC and android, but most of them use iPhone and are terrified of using third party apps.

That makes sense. I remember during the Aniwavepocalypse, there were lots of zoomers (many Indian) freaking out. I use pirate streaming sites out of convenience because I can't be bothered to wait for a torrent to download so I can have the latest 10 GB HDBD rip that looks no different than the rips that are already up.

What do they watch on Youtube? You obviously won't find the massive newest anime, but you will find lots of decent shows. The entire Brave, Eldran, and Machine Robo series are on Youtube, as well as other good shows like SRW The Inspector, Dancouga Nova, Gravion, Layzner, Dorvack, Acrobunch, Galient, Xabungle, Dragonar, Cyber Formula, Zambot, L-Gaim, and Dendoh.

most of them use iPhone and are terrified of using third party apps.

I've never understood watching anime on your phone. That's a great way to sap up your data, and you can't even see anything or take screenshots!

Code Geass is good for having a lot of charm. Both with fantastic silly character design, character quirks (remember Pizza Hut?) and plot moments. Even the worse moments are so dumb they don't anger me.

I don't like Eureka 7 at all Maybe it's too much hype until I watched it, but I just couldn't get into it. I also really fucking hated the coral (or any anime with the of a villain that is a hivemind so they can't be judged for killing people because they don't understand the concept). You can't even justify the environmental aspect due to the twist the planet is earth and the coral invaded and killed all life on it.

Total Coral Death.

The anime isn't that good. I dislike a lot of things about it (humor, OP, ost, character design),

opinion discarded, objectively wrong, leap off the rooftops doing ballet

Eureka 7's hard to recommend even though its probably my favorite Anime, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact I was the same age as the MC when it dropped so I found a lot of the shit he was going through relatable.

That said I feel like you've misunderstood a fair amount of the anime. The villain is not the Hive-Mind Scub Coral. The scubs are a hive mind but they're really more akin to like a plant based life form than an active antagonist. With extremely few exceptions they mostly react to things, and that is how the actual villain manipulates them. He intentionally causes reactions within the scub that effectively trigger its anti-bodies to attack people and then classifies the military actions so that the public can't learn about it while publicly declaring it is a hostile attack from the Scubs and its his job to fucking kill them.

Again though, that's probably the weaker plot to the anime. Its really better looked at as a show about a family and a child growing into an adult with a sci-fi/mecha back drop.

• There are many different types of orcs depending on the media, and a popular version in Japan are pig faced (up to full pig snouts and tusks depending on the manga) farmer clans with a countryside German level temperament and culture. They aren't always bloodthirsty barbarians but sometimes agarians at the level of a Quaker.
• Dark elves have been a thing for a long time, usually interpreted as elves who had their skin stained dark due to demonic affiliation or corruption. They are often more aggressive and hostile but not necessarily nigger phenotype. I'd have to check but im pretty sure that scenes where we see the elf country reacting to impending doom, it shows a lot of white nobility

Honestly you'd have to be pretty racist to not be able to enjoy it because you see niggers everywhere. Like Democrat levels of racism.

I like Meshi, but the orcs being being uppity was the part where I wished they got genocided. I hate redskin allegories and the Japanese are like Germans in that they love them (while genociding the Ainu).

I think most western Dark Elves are based upon Elric of Melnibone, who is a sickly pale member of a dying race known for its sorcery, military strength, and tendency to kill and enslave all of their neighbors. His is a civilization in decline and so he makes a pact with a demon and begins to journey the world in the same vein as Conan the Barbarian in an attempt to learn from the outside world to bring Melnibone back into dominance.

If you go into media like Elder Scrolls, their skin is turned blue/gray as a curse from Azura for their treachery.

In DND I'm pretty sure its the Dark Seldarine's influence that gets them there.

In Pathfinder, depending on the source its a transformation that can befall any Elf should they become cruel enough. Somtimes they just stayed on Galorian when the apocalypse happened and live under the ice.

They also had that Roze anime they released this year which wasn't well received and their non manga spinoffs were also poorly recieved. Genesic re;code was also a bust because it was stupidly anti-F2P and pushed gypsies into the series alongside the Akito films for some reason.

Can't blame them for doubling back on making a web comic for their Lost Stories Gacha based around R1 and R2. Since people will just go "That's Lelouch's anime right?" and think nothing more of Code Geass. Its a really strange kind of autistic phenomenon where they will be okay as long as lelouch is the star of whatever is going on but as soon as they try something new its like the series is dead to them when it comes to the fanbase.

Would also help if they established their own internal rules of how things should work and make sure developers stay consistent with it, instead of just handing out the series to several different slant eyed jew directors who don't care about the source material. That's how we get Roze which was originally all about a female version of lelouch and retelling R1 for some reason, but they decided to change her into Sakuya at the last minute according to an interview.

I'm a zoomer and I'll tell you why I don't pirate anime. It's cause on nyaa si, anything released after 2012 balloons up in size and frankly I don't want to download episodes of Pluto which are 2 gb each. Releases of NGE and Cowboy Bebop from the early 2000s are 3gb total for 17-24 episodes. Some anime are borderline impossible to find like Nadia of blue water, kekko kamen, Cleopatra dc, @wtfNeedSignUp's pfp and many others, searches end up with dead torrents. So I drift towards streaming everything from gogogoanime (thanks to @Kari Kamiya for the rec) and formerly 9anime. But I rarely have time to watch anything so I don't do shit.

Nyaa doesn't even have subbed versions of Webdiver and Tetsujin FX. At the same time, it does have the only subs for Albegas and God Sigma on the internet, and soon it will have ARR-free Groizer X, so it is necessary and I'm willing to torrent for those things. I'm slowly torrenting all the shows I watch and rewatch so I have them on hand in the event they get wiped from YT and all the pirate sites go down, but I wouldn't torrent a brand new anime I've never seen unless it was the only option.
