Was reading Insomniacs after school.
Bad news is I couldn't read more after volume 9.
Good news is I just found out they made an anime, so I got a new show to look forward to.
Now I'm just reading Rosster Fighter.

Maybe this belongs more on /hob/ and if the mods agree I would hold no ill will for them for moving or deleting it but I recently got around to watching Serial Experiments Lain and wanted to find some other wizzards with good reccomendations for /dep/ anime. The ones of course given are succubi last tour and Lain. I would personally not count Watamote as it seems quite shallow and everything turns out fine in the end and whatnot. So what are some other anime, manga or light novels dealing with actual depression or schizophrenia and not in the mainstream boohoo am so sad way.

Berserk is such a unique blend of multiples influences
it is fascinating to see how all those different media materials got blended together
into miura's mind to form berserk

here is some inspirations to name a few:

movies:
Evil Dead 2 / 3 Army of Darkness (Guts's mechanical arm and sword and a medieval setting)
Hellraiser (God Hand which share similarities with the Cenobites)
flesh and blood (the themes of a mercenary band and the relationships within it)
Phantom of the Paradise (Griffith's transformation into Femto)

mangas:
Fist of the North Star (art style and the depiction of violence)
Devilman (The design of the Apostles)
The Rose of Versailles (the strong emotions and intricate relationships)

novel series:
Guin Saga (world-building and overall scope of Berserk)

Would you call and considered ANIME an animation made and produced entirely by a chinese
or north american
or south american
or indian
or european team?


Give me your best argument for and against this. More and more anime is coming out and being produced by not japanese.

That's only something a weeaboo or a Jap would say. Japan are culturally closer to them than any other country and from a normie non-weeb foreign perspective they are part of the same autistic, collectivist slant eye cultural sphere with the funny traditional roofs and colorful robes.

Ive been reading hundreds of isekai harem ecchi and op protag mangas and manhwas and been wondering if theres a manga that suits my selfdefeatist psychology. The mc has like a cute succubus thats kinda likes him for being op and he just abandons her and then the manga shows how much the succubus suffers and how unbothered and asexual and wizardly mc is. And basically that on repeat. also bonus points if its an isekai doe.
manga im reading rn is I'm a Curse Crafter, and I Don't Need an S-Rank Party! btw

right I completiily forgot about that one. it would still be nice to see this concept in other settings i guess but thanks

 No.43555

also I would prefer it if the mc would actively avoid the succubi and make it so they never appear anymore for the rest of the manga

is there manga where the M.C is mostly passive, with little agency?

Domesticated Yapoo: The Human Cattle
Technically an adaptation based on a novel written by a veteran of both the Manchurian Occupation and the Imperial Japanese Navy. The adaptation was largely done by Shotaro Ishinomori, a man more famous for having created Kamen Rider and the Super Sentai than for his manga works.
You can feel the early to mid 20th century flavor to the horror seeping through the whole manga. The book seems to have been something of an underground classic in Japan, kind of like the works of The Marquis de Sade or von Sacher-Masoch in much of the European continent. So far as I know the book is untranslated, but the manga have English versions thanks largely to Ishinomori's fame.

Fair warning, if you found something on the level of Superconductive Brains Parataxis distasteful then you should stay far, far away from this one.

It is worth emphasizing that the books were considered pillars of literature. Yukio Mishima praised them as the greatest literature Japan had produced since 1945. They're still subject to serious academic analysis, including by westoids such as this:
https://www.academia.edu/5347860/Empire_through_the_Eyes_of_a_Yapoo_Male_Abjection_in_the_Cult_Classic_Beast_Yapoo
But all of the social issues they comment on are very distinctly 20th century, and the manner of their most scathing commentaries take the form of sexual brutalities that generally are not receivable when used in a visual medium such as manga. So none of the manga adaptations have gained the cultural ground held by the books, and there will hopefully never be an anime adaptation despite the prestige names incl. Mishima associated at various points in history.
