Japan 100% has what to apologise for, but there's no point since everyone related to it is already dead, and any gains they had were lost. It's just a pointless humiliation ritual at this point. Not to mention countries like China also refuse to acknowledge Japan's crimes against humanity due to shame.

I don't even think you can, there is a reason why people can't make their own sitcoms or Game of Thrones.

Not with that attitude you can't. Hell if anything now's a better time than ever, with AI being able to do video now. Doing animated stuff should be easier than, as you suggest, sitcoms or GoT. Like, it'll be real shitty indie anime for a while, but it can totally be done.

That said they all are ultimately good people, just shitty good people and will usually band together to do the right thing, which makes them endearing.

I have yet to see Aqua demonstrate any genuine redeeming virtues other than her occasional utility (which usually has massively detrimental side effects).

Can anyone here tell me why the ending to Domestic Girlfriend was so hated?
Presiona para expandir...

The impression that I get out of it (even though I just briefly looked at the summary, and not watched/read the whole thing, and I don't remember all of the details of it), was that the ending felt like it was the creator going "fuck you" in regards to a certain character or pairing that the fans wanted, and went OoPs SuBvErTeD eXpEcTaTiOnS, or at least that was how I saw the ending. I don't remember if this ending happened when SuBvErTiNg ExPeCtAtIoNs became the "in" thing to do in Western media.

I also don't remember how much hate that ending got compared to the likes of Usagi Drop, AOT, MHA, JJK, and now OnK, got.

To me it sounds more like the classic mistake of trying to of trying to appease everyone woth a convoluted ending to a love triangle and appeasing no one, rather than just either picking a girl or going full harem.
 
I’m not too much of an anime person now, far past my shounen phase. But I’ve been reading Golden Kamuy and Dorohedoro and I’ve been having a huge blast. Lt. Tsurumi has skyrocketed as one of my favorite villains, mostly because how versatile of a character he can be. A cunning mastermind, a psychopath, and very charismatic. He feels much more of a threat than other “4D planned everything from the beginning” masterminds in JJK and shit.
 
Huh, so it was Sharivan that Hikaruon ripped off:


God, it's not even funny how much better Sharivan is. I will take this opportunity to once again ask for more Metal Hero anime. Bismarck is great, but Active Raid didn't focus enough on the cool stuff, which there was plenty of -- they had a truck that rolled out the big power armours sort of like Tetsujin FX's truck, and they even had a police train!
 
70s character designs are so keyed. Don't you wish you were him?

God, I love Yamato. It's not as meaty as Gundam, but there's something special about going on a desperate journey OUTSIDE the Milky Way and coming across a bunch of strange planets and ancient technology to save the Earth. Also the 70s shows have vehicle designs that are just as good as the reboot, so you're not missing anything by avoiding the reboot past 2199.

It's what basically started "anime" as we know it.

The Japanese are never going to view it the same as the Germans, which is a shame since Imperial Japan was actually worse than Nazi Germany in many ways. I feel like it's only fair that they should face it like the Germans did, or like we Americans have to face Vietnam, but life is not fair.

I think there are a few older mangaka (sadly most have already passed) that have written about their time serving during WWII and the shit show they had to go through. First one that springs to mind is Shigeru Mizuki who had 2-3 war series and iirc he was conscription as a low ranking solider, sent to an island where more men died of disease then fighting, and lost his arm in a bombing.
From what I recall of one of them, it was a little substance then some other war is bad stories written by people who only have skewed 3rd or 4th hand accounts of war years after the fact
