Fast Anime V #101 - Film, Television and Music

I somewhat agree but of you take a look at real history you will find that a fair amount military leaders and generals trough history has been colossal morons as well. While on the subject of edgy isekai, is the Drifters manga worth reading? And how much further is it compared to the anime? I watched the show and thought it was a neat universe with nice action while the comedy fell a bit flat at times.

Eh he can still fight other creatures in the manga too, including people if he needs to. But his primary focus is goblins because of his backstory.

Zombieland Saga is fucking gold

the problem is the majority of writer doing anime stuff aren't smart enough to write anyone that is intelligent. though a lot of anime audience are braindead anyway so they can get away with treating their audiences like morons most of the time.

I'm surprised to hear it's even very popular. I read the first volume and didn't feel invested at all. It's rare for any isekai premise to click with me, because they always seem to amount to the author's/audience's self-insert power fantasy, or a 180-degree subversion of self-insert power fantasies. Slime Isekai sounded like it would be the latter but turned out to be the former, so I guess it's a subversion of a subversion, taking it right back to that initial premise that I've never found compelling.

Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara is so incredibly pretty.

Every time I close my eyes, I wake up feeling so horny good jojo

Writers of isekai stories seem to be under the illusion that people of the past were dumb. They weren't. They were just as smart as us but they lacked the tools and prior knowledge or the population lacked the formal education to do stuff. I recall a manga adaptation of an isekai story where this medieval society was revolutionised by the invention of the water wheel. I mean, seriously; that stuff has been around since the 4th century BC.

this is because most isekai writer (or even, most LN writer) are dumb, just that the audiences are even dumber so they treat the reader like morons and get away with it.

you know that most LN writers are stupid and uncreative because all their main characters are also LN writers

Nah, usually their main characters are trying to fuck their little sister who are also incest LN writers. Again.

Having all of the mecha be CG kills a lot of my interest in it, even if it's Sanzigen.

While it does suck that its not the hard drawn stuff I like, the shot of it sitting down and resting its head on its hand looked pretty slick so I'm not too worried.

I think Zombieland Saga has tricked me into to watching a Idol show.

Also, Kill la Kill had a metric buttload of CG but it was hardly detrimental to the enjoyment and experience imho. I have conficence in Trigger to handle CG properly in that upoming show.

Asses and Thighs are SSSS.Gridman Director’s Priority for Its Ma.. By the way, in regards to Akane Shinjou’s design, Sakamoto elaborated how he designed her in a way that would “make anyone who sees her is able to perceive her cuteness.” He also received an input to design her in the image of “what if director Amemiya becomes a high school girl” in mind. Another very important advice, coming from famed mecha designer Shigeto Koyama, is to make Akane’s boobs big in size. According to Sakamoto, the series director Akira Amemiya personally requested the following for Rikka Takarada’s design: “make her ass big and her thighs thicc.”

the cg in kill la kill is very detrimental to it, especially during the action scenes.

Off topic: I was thinking of awful isekai-type ideas and came up with a plot where someone is reincarnated as Hitler and makes it his mission to make sure that Nazi Germany wins WWII. Then I remembered that Tanya the Evil exist and it's actually not that bad.

finally watched akira today with my mum, so fucking good

Drifters did that somewhat as a backstory Hitler got isekai'd after suiciding and then created a successful aryan empire in the other world

Oh gosh, I forgot about this too.

Decided to do a quick watch of Gobbo Murderman. Quick run through a Spanish version, so while I bet I am missing out on deep character interaction dialogue, I think I'll be fine. Spoilers, I guess. Begins with a group of adventurers getting in over their head, alright, not too terrible. Stakes are set when the fighter dude dies due to short cave ceiling - alright, funny and somewhat subversive. Then it gets to the rape parts - and those are generally irrelevant to both story and character, that it left me with bad taste in my mouth. Mind you, I love 80's anime, so it's not even the rape itself that was problematic - it was that it was used twice, just for the sake of shock value, against characters I don't really have any association with. It makes things like Mad Bull 34 and Kite seem emotionally engaging. It feels like it was a scene ripped out of a hentai (and didn't even have decency to even revel in that fact, instead of trying to have some sort of decency... after setting up a rape scene) and felt really out of place and did not contribute anything to the story, setting, or action. In comes MC, and I honestly was alright with his introduction and musical theme. The later gets immediately lost and never returned to, which is another minus for the series. Instead, we go back to generic fantasy isekai music. Yay. Anyway, MC picks up the loli, kills her friend because "Ow the Edge", and we go onto a rather dull fighting scene that's not even fun to follow. He goes on to kill kid gobbos, which I guess supposed to make him look deep and questionable, but the choice of animalistic noises reduced any point they tried to make. Honestly, I am disappointed that the memeshittery I was shown wasn't true. I might give episode 2 a watch, but the pilot was a general failure.

too bad the Soviet and US counterpart actually wins at the end

you know, besides the fact that we learn the slayer's backstory on why he kills goblins for a living, not to mention his methods on mitigating all risks with the way he handles goblin camps.

Hmm on the subject of isekai, just as a topic of discussion, would something like Kobayashi's Dragon Maid count in any respects? If sort of a reversal? Instead of a normal person by our standards being put in an weird world its a strange person, or dragon, being put in our normal world and seemingly trying to adjust. I see issues in the matter because Tohru and the others can, for the most part, return to their own world but choose to spend most of their time in ours. The only exception being Shouta and his father who are legitimately stranded in our world.

Is it the cool new thing to shit on Goblin Slayer? Like you guys do realize the whole rape thing is to make you really hate goblins right, like to really despise them? Yeah, it was uncomfortable but it was fuckin supposed to be. People say it was pointless or other nonsense but I disagree, I think those people are just whiners. Keep in mind that I really despise the use of rape in media but its use here, while shocking, does have a purpose. Does it advance the whole plot? No, but that isn't its point. How's about you read it instead. Gosh, this whole post is just lame imo. Like I ain't gonna say Goblin Slayer is some masterpiece or something but saying putting someone out of their misery, AND IS EXPLAINED AT THE TIME THAT THEY'LL DIE ANYWAY, as "edgy" is just dumb and disingenuous. I'm confused as to why the number of people raped matters at all. So you'd be okay with it if just the one girl was raped, ok, but why is having two people raped going to far? You say that the second rape is only for the shock factor and maybe it was, I ain't the author, but maybe it's also to completely impress upon you the threat that goblins are to women. When one person is raped you can just chalk that up as an individual thing but when you see it being done systematically then you know it's something that they always do.

Well, aren't isekai at their core just fish-out-of-water stories just explicitly focused on alternate, fantastical worlds?

True, but I think the key point is how easy, if it's even possible, it is to go back. If they can go back and forth between world when ever they want they aren't really stuck are they.

I am talking about a shitty anime. As far as I'm concerned, manga is entirely separate. For dying, it's a generic high fantasy settings. Considering that the starting group is dime a dozen D&D party, all they might have to do is go back to town and get resurrected or something. Having MC come in and go "She's already dead" doesn't do anything emotionally - hell even a cheesy "You must kill her" would've worked - the annoying mage girl then pussies out, and MC could do it, at least showing how cool MC is. Otherwise, he's just a dick who comes in and kills a heavily wounded but visibly alive person. As for second rape, it just honestly felt them adding combination of gore and rape into the mix just to go "Look, double gross!". It doesn't achieve anything other than to pointlessly demean another character that we don't even know much about. You could have show the goblin behavior much better against a different point of view, like kidnapping people and then showing that bone table to have something to identify those people by (hair decorations attached to it, jewelry). As for "This shows gobbos are evil", I mean, are we going to need a rape every episode to confirm that every gobbo tribe rapes?
