All I remember was people being fucking disgusted by them and someone who's blog I'd check on occasion posting "why the fuck does it look like me" in response to being spammed with images of the female flesh colored one in the second movie when the promo images dropped for it.
There's stories like that all over the world but yeah the rise in them from japan specifically the last decade says something about something.
The first isakai that i was aware of was a Connecticut yankee in king authors court, and it was satire by mark twain to poke fun of romanticism over the middle ages.
I view the reverse iseaki as pro immigrant propaganda. They know their culture is over. In fact i think there are more karate dojos in the US than in all of japan. That's how bad it is. That culture is cooked, and you know what? i kinda think the pedo shit is part of the problem. Kids are the future, and if you hurt them rather than nurture them, your culture is dead.
It also doesn't help they have a severe lack of good teachers like most of the legends did. Most of the legends left around don't really guide people anymore and just fuck off with their talent and money. I fully blame them for being responsible for enshittification because it's impacted more than anime, nearly everything is like that now with a pursuit to be "self-made" or having cookie cutter methods be explained to people by design comittees and the like which is what makes art and anime and vidya and logos all look the same (look at twitter troon "artists" and such). It's made shit that would have been unthinkable and unacceptable in the 80s quality-wise be yearned for as a bare minimum.
Karate Kid and it's amazing sequel show, Cobra Kai did more for martial arts than all of Asia have done AND kids love it. Our admiration has kept it alive more than I've seen over there. There's more boxing anime and manga than there are classical fight oriented works. And even those don't really use martial arts much, they prefer all the fictional rub-a-dick poison instakill bullshit instead of acrobatic kicks. It's our romanticization of that aspect of their culture that made it way better than it is to your average Nip.
Magic hitler was like, a wisp of vapor in some forest. The Death Eaters while Voldemort was gone were like the Klan today, a bunch of people everyone treated as assholes. There was zero threat while Harry was growing up with the Dursleys.
I mean you can argue that that's really all of fiction to some extent, but to have the setup be that you live in our world and then fucking die and wake up in a new world that usually sucks less than the one you're in is something that is so fucking massive in Japan.
And its almost never a good death either. It's usually a big truck. You- you do realize Trucks don't always insta kill, even if they're a big Izisu, right? You could be on the ground for many minutes, in complete agony before dying. Like holy shit, there are better ways to go out than Truck kun.
I just remember everyone saw it and everyone had a DVD of at least the first movie. The CGI was cool as a small child, even if it's creepy now as an adult.
Remember, Hell is eternal and looks a LOT like Japan, lol.
One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of art schools, both east and west, don’t teach fundamentals to students as much as they used to. I’ve seen a concerning number of Japanese animators who don’t understand how to make characters look proportionate or how to animate horse walk cycles (both of which used to be mandatory for animators to know).
I will never forgive Mushoku Tensei for not only popularizing this trope, but for straight up romanticizing it to pander to pedophiles in the audience. Someone on the forum once said it was the harbinger of everything wrong with modern anime, and they weren’t wrong.
If I ever figured out how to draw, I've had this idea for a while about a manga set in NYC where a young black teen gets isekai'd and you see a black teenager from The Bronx interface with a fantasy world.
Good. Remember that our job is to document these people and expose them, not to fuck with them.
"Drop the crusade"? We are just getting started, faggot. As more people see the sickening acts your "idols" do, expect more a-logs. You won't have peace.
This is "whataboutism", pure and simple. "Yeah, but WHAT ABOUT?!!?"
LMAO. That is to be expected. Thanks for making me laugh. People who run their mouths and are loud talkers tend to make up and compensate to lack on other departments. I think this is something in Proverbs - I wonder if Rev could help us to find the verse!
It's baffling how he gets to grift this nonsense with no Twitter Blue & does it for free.
They are just "high IQ" while doing it.
One thing I never got, if there's a truck coming for you and you can run out of the way, wouldn't the best chance scenario be to just hit the deck? You may get crushed by the wheels but there's a decent amount of room under there, right? Especially if the driver is doing his best not to hit you.
Mushoku changed Iseaki from "we need to get home and save the world" to "I died and got a harem and I'm not leaving". Truly pathetic
I feel that is Miles Moralis almost
Well then the story wouldn't happen.
Tanya The Evil was good. The concept itself had me concerned, but my love of WW1 ended up causing me to give it a watch. I regret nothing, as the series isn't fucking fanservice softcore porn hell and more of a gigantic mutual "FUCK YOU" story between God and a psychotic businessman.
There's a difference between loli characters and lolicons. If you don't sexualize megumin, then she's just a hilarious explosion mage. While I have no doubt some loli characters are put there for the lolicons, it doesn't have to be.
Loli is a fucking stupid term rooted in pornography. Just call them youjo (like in Youjo Senki lmao) or someshit instead.
Author asked anime studio purposely to reduce fanservice by making Tanya/characters not too pretty, which upset a lot of nonce weebs from what i recall
