Also thanks for reminding me i have to keep watching Saber Marionette J >>406925 Wouldnt it be better if he started with VOTOMS first though Also thanks for reminding me i have to keep watching Dougram
no but srsly idc if its commieshit or not, it's anime so wgaf if there's any political message at all I'll probably suss it out and come to my own conclusion about it, just send whatever you think is cool. besides, the only jap I've seen make any real substantive political commentary through their work is Kojima and even then it seems like he's more concerned with telling a cool story and the politics are a side dish for whenever his autistic hyperfixation on nuclear deterrence comes back around, I think that's probably the jap mindset in general, so I don't usually expect hard-hitting serious politics from anime.
>>406967 I've been telling myself and the board both I'd read bagabondo for some time because some spicsian tuber told me it's good but it's been on the backburner for some time. if i ever get to manga that's the one and ill read fist too
if you have any mango suggestions feel free to drop em as well
after the mangeposer phase youll slippery slope into tokukino whre you may finally find some kino thats not to aggressive to entry level tastes still good thoughbeitever
>>407014 my faves are amazon, stronger, black and den-o. i've watched all of kabuto but i kinda hated it, only god-speed-love saved it. but the soundtrack was good i'll give you that.
>>407023 Let the Yakuza make their money, if this is how they do it.
Watching while lying in bed, really enjoying it. Wouldve been baller as shit to see this as a kid.
Also it's very interesting to see their depiction of a luxurious environment back then, and how it's basically a park. Fountain, apple trees, etc. Seems like a chill place.
June best girl and the tomboy comes close but it's cool go see a BLAKK SISTA on jap screens. Cool to see a black person (who is actually black, not like dark skinned japanese) who isn't a complete minstrel in general lole. Mr Popo, Superalloy Darkshine... even doe Superalloy is actually Japanese according to lore and his superpower made him a brotha or something
My point is it's kind of interesting to see a black person just be there with no fanfare. I wonder if this is a thing in older anime or if it's just this one.
>>407032 I thought the rori was Janny for some reason. I like her too, May is fun. They're all pretty great in their own ways the. Idk why this is only a 6 on imdb, I thought it was phenomenal.
The ending was pretty cool, too. I like that it was kinda inspired by that shit we shot out into space for aliens to read. What a beautiful time, I miss when people gave a fuck about how beautiful the earth is. I feel like you don't see that anymore, nobody is ever like "the mountains and the rainforests are so marvelous, we should protect them", even when there are environmentalists, it all feels so cynical, like you need a hard-and-fast practical reason to stand for anything. Maybe I'm reading into things too much, though.
Seeing the twin towers threw me for a bit of a loop tho, I lold
Also massive cliffhanger??? The doctor says "biologically she's human, but..." and then it's just never brought up again Like???? What's her connection with G??? Does she have implants or what??
