HGS existed purely for Crunchyroll to virtue signal. They could have put the money towards adapting mangas that have more western popularity than japanese, or create new series like The Last Airbender that obviously take inspiration from anime. Instead they made an "anime" that's absolute pure propaganda.
Anyway, since this is getting pretty off topic, I've always wondered if Bob has any history of watching anime. I mean he brags that he has some knowledge of the medium but he brags about everything, so I wonder if he's even seen an episode of dubbed Dragon Ball Z.
There are plenty of mangas that could easily get adaptations, I like to read action manga and in spite of some far fetched plots many are pretty interesting to read. Precisely because they keep the viewers interested in what is going on instead of writing manbaby shit like High Guardian Spice that is absolutely fucking boring if you're not a manbaby that fawns over seeing anything you agree with on a TV screen!
In fact Bob might not have watched this as it looked too childish even for him lol!
What's always bothered me is when Bob here says that the flyover states don't matter in voting and shouldn't count. There's plenty of purple states in "flyover country" that sometimes vote blue, and sometimes red like Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania, but of course Bob is too smooth-brained to realize this.
Bob is such a fucking tribalistic retard that he doesn't realize how poorly thought his "philosophy" is. This goes without saying, but not even back in the day was the right to vote conditioned to regional preferences, even classist divisions (only landowners can vote, etc...) didn't discriminate by regions inside the country (and ideas like women not having the right to vote only worked as they were widely accepted), and that's because even absolutist kings knew their heads would be next in line if they pissed off the wrong people. In Bob's case, any President elected literally only by the "regions that matter" would have to deal with, at best, non-compliant provinces (ending with a toothless federal government) or at worst with rebel states actively resisting their rule. If Bob wasn't a colossal fucking retard he would realize his positions make no sense, so to expect him to have any basic knowledge of the "ghoullands" he hates so much is frankly above any reasonable expectations lol!
Not powerleveling, but even when seeing clearly bigoted people talk about other regions I haven't seen anyone go as far as saying they shouldn't get to vote, even as they lambasted them for electing officials they clearly hate. Bob makes literal bigots sound more moderate than he, the "beacon of tolerance", is!
I admit I didn't watch the whole pilot, but from what I saw I suspect they could've saved some money if they didn't make the pilot into a filler episode.
If I didn't know any better I would have gasped at this show just by grasping at this fact. The pilot is one of the most important episodes of any show, it's meant to be a showcase of the writing and the work's universe as a whole, and they did that? Fuck me sideways lol!
