@Allodoxaa I certainly have some thoughts, it's this strange bricolage reifying a semblance of canonicity coupled with database elements but in service to establishing an objective metric to evaluate media while being rooted in wholly arbitrary choices of what constitutes cannon at all.

@Allodoxaa This was a "problem" solved by Stan Lee 50 years ago.

"The People who I can make Anime with are Disappearing" (NEW VIDEO)
Until now, The Sky Crawlers was Mamoru Oshii's last theatrical 2D animation. It was a bold attempt by him to make a film for younger audiences that could break through...but did it?

A lot of people in the replies/QTs seem to be struggling with the idea that manga itself resulted from transcultural flows?
Images unrelated. (read a book)
Of course the term "comic" is also used in Japan to describe manga? Comiket (comic market)? Ladies Comics?
Eden Saent@saint_ed5n
So "manga" means comics by translation. The words are literally interchangeable when talking about the medium but also we can refer more to the style of the medium as well. With Manga denoting a style originating in Japan. So these are manga characters and it looks fun as hell.

@naranciagaming @tippity Look, Seven and T Rex are still producing good works and Hokiboshi has had some gems.
There's good stuff if you look for it

@tippity comments revealing an interesting truth that hentai doujins/manga have never been better, while hentai anime have never been worse. tragic

Chained Soldier S2 (9.5/10)
I have no shame in admitting this was one of THE shows I kept up-to-date last season.
S1 did the action slightly better, but Passione really was the right choice in polishing a gooner gem into a gooner diamond. DxD fans, your chosen one is here.

@OtakuPrintArchv The fact that Sailor Moon and Parastye ran in the same magazine will never not be amusing.

@TheSittingT That's exactly what it was.
Turns out it's still very effective.

@the_stevem There were mandated screenings of Sea Eagles and Scared Sailors, albeit the later was only for younger children as 12 and older students were mostly drafted into factory work, iirc.
English
@study_of_swords if i recall he said something about his school taking kids to see it at the cinema, I don't think he had that reel since it was so new
English
Momotaro's Sea Eagles, released in 1943, had a much wider reach (and is also the one with the footage of Pearl Harbor) and so was the more effective propaganda film.
This is (mostly) retroactively significant, since 1945 wasn't a great year to go to the cinema in Japan. . .

Oscillates between teaching kids their ABCs and grooming them to become Kamikaze pilots, and features English voices by literal prisoners of war forced to perform at gunpoint.
English
The idea that the English voice was from a British POW is speculation on the part of Clements, albeit his explanation is pretty reasonable.
Though you can look at the replies to see how much the two films getting rolled into one has managed to keep the legacy of the later going.
English
So the reach of this film was very muted broadly, though narrowly significant, since Tezuka was wealthy/sheltered enough he could screen it in his home theatre.
The film itself was thought to be lost and was only rediscovered in 1983, where it obtained a retroactive importance.
English
@AnosV432423425 That's the joke.
The commonality between critiques of genre works is how wholly arbitrary the criteria for "good" v "bad" entities are from the critic(s) typically owing to a lack of engagement with said genre.
English
@study_of_swords LOL, I’m honestly baffled by how picky you guys are about which characters 'count' as Self-Inserts. Literally any fictional character can be a Self-Insert; it just depends on whether the author or the reader chooses to project themselves onto them or not.
English
Unlike other Gyaru x Otaku series, in this one the ML isn't a self-insert and has robust characterization.
English
@uruties32 This is the next iteration of "Unlike X genre works, this one does Y". I'm getting in early

@study_of_swords Are you being serious or making a joke?
It's a good joke

@Glassesgir10143 @CheeseGX_ You can't have a generic work be labeled as such before those tropes were recognized/associated as markers for that genre in the first place.
If henshin is a precondition for MG, then you remove Ako/Sally.
The term mahou shōjo didn't emerge until the 1980s.
Swing and a miss.
English
@study_of_swords @CheeseGX_ You already said this and I already gave my answer. We aren’t gonna go in a circle, you must come up with new arguments.
English
@Glassesgir10143 @CheeseGX_ No one at the time referred to it as mahou shōjo, because while it was a key contributor to an element that would later be incorporated into the sub-genre, it had not yet been.
Also you'd need to justify the claim that Nagai had contempt for mahou shōjo, and worked it in?
English
@study_of_swords @CheeseGX_ It was a magical girl series back then too. Just because it was made with contempt for the genre doesn’t mean it suddenly isn’t
