Berserk is such a unique blend of influences Anonymage 07/06/25 (Sun) 10:18:51 No.43562 [Reply]

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.

Anime = japan

That's it, maybe just maybe anime could be considered made by korean and china man, because they close culturally to Japan.

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

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.

Seconded, Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-Chan is the first comedy anime I would recommend to anyone who is more used to western comedy than j-com. It doesn't rely on reference humor the way so much otaku oriented comedy does.

Hating succubi is such a crab tier behavior, I always thought of wizards as people that doesn't care about female or harbor ill will towards them, just the fact to care to hurt a female just prove you care enough like a classic crab.

Gatekeeping Anime Anonymage 06/04/21 (Fri) 01:41:51 No.36815 [Reply]

What should be the best measures that we should take to gatekeep anime has hard as it get?
Remember, if you don't believe in gatekeeping, you are a normalgroid.

Some measures that I suggest are:
-Knowing in deep a lot about an anime, visual novel, light novel, novel, manga or game in particular.
-Having a decent knowledge about the medium.
-Being very invested into at least one work.
-Being very invested at least in one fandom.

Is not neccesary to have all these things, but at least one. What more should be added?

One piece is the best anime so far and most underrated one Anonymage 08/06/22 (Sat) 21:53:57 No.39327 [Reply]

Best storyline, Best fights, Best charcters, Best villians, many people think that all the fights are the same and all the arcs are to similar when they're not, it sucks only with pacing and maybe it is long

Calling it underrated is insane but I do actually think it's overhated. It gets a lot of flack for being "just a shounen" but making a 1000ep+ long epic adventure is an inherently cool concept and they execute it very well. I think you're disingenuous if you call it bad, and I can think of many high-brow anime it clears.

Yes that's literally what shounen means you genius. You evaluate how good a hamburger is at being a fun fast-food and you evaluate how good a steak is at being a steak, they both serve different niches. You were also at some point a kid yourself. Do they not deserve fun anime too when they come home from school?

Long titled RPG-themed fantasy / isekai franchises with such long names are usually too full of irony and "game mechanic" themes. Can't expect much from them. One can even wonder how much of the Japanese youth are familiar with JRPGs to even identify what's mocking or inspired by RPG elements.

I think there were even more underage users back then than now (at least before the 4chan refugees came). However there was a subgroup of higher quality chadwizards that were actually interested in disregarding succubi and pursuing their hobbies. Of course those types get bored of the site and leave eventually because there are not many like them to engage with each other among the constant flood of posts about sex and succubi

>too full of irony
That one played it straight. I don't have a issue with if they do it ironically or play it totally straight, it's about doing it well and telling a interesting story.

Like I loved KonoSuba (aka KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!) because it was well done, high effort, and mostly due to it being hilarious. But a lot of shows feel very low effort, badly done, and can't hit whatever feeling they aim to invoke. While this isn't a exclusively recent problem, because more shows then ever come out each season and each year for the past few years compared to last decade, even more low effort low quality slop is produced as a consequence.

Speaking of slop, I am also super annoyed that a lot of sites I use for watching anime are getting utterly flooded by cheap nonsensical Chinese slop. It makes searching by genera to find a show to watch irritating.

I thought this shit was made in 2009ish but it was 2013 , anyways atleast the protagonist isn't a pussy and it puts u directly into the story , short manga i finished this in like 5hr .
