Is anime getting cucked about violence too?

Destacado
Sure, mostly because most anime these days is specifically TV-Anime.

Most of the old shit you mentioned was not TV, or significantly less violent than you remember.

OVAs were violent as shit, because they were just that, direct to video. But they are mostly dead now.

These days if you want animu violence, you turn to manga, and holy shit that's a treasure trove of blood and guts if that's what floats your boat.

Been reading Fullmetal Alchemist and I'll be honest in that I don't remember Brotherhood being very bloody. The 2003 anime could spill some blood, but I legit don't remember this level of violence in Brotherhood.

And the manga's retained its T rating throughout. Kinda like how Animorphs remained a YA series despite its carnage since good stories of wars and afternaths don't shy away from the horrors that go on.

'Twas a different time, I suppose. Or if the author was a woman, they were able to get away with more.
 
To be fair, the censorship for Under Ninja sucked ass. Dude gets the top of his head ripped off, thrown at a guy who then kicks it off a roof in a panic and it splatters onto the ground and it looked terrible because they half assed a censorship that made it hard to tell what was meant to he happening.

Edit: speaking of, I was watching High Card recently and wasn't expecting how violent it'd get.

Again, when you see the scene in question, that's... highly dubious. Its also one of those cases where the "non-kill" solution is actually more horrifying.

So, aside from the following quote

What happened that instead of killing them he turned them all into completely paralyzed. Considering they were women trafficking Yakuza they all deserved it, and it is an arguably fate worse than death. Later in the show you get truly gory shit when the other robot murders a good chunk of Japan, which was glorious.

The whole point of that series is that grandpa barely understands what's happening, he is just a salary man in his fifties that thinks "I want to stop the bad men but I don't want to kill nobody!" and the alien tech in his body basically interprets it as crippling them to an absurd degree of overkill. This is from the same guy as Gantz and his motto was "if it's cool, it's in, fuck the details". I do agree a moment of grandpa going "wasn't expecting I'd go that far... oh well" would have been warranted, but it's far from a good example of what you mean.

Nope. There's still plenty of violent shows that air each season. The only reason you don't see the extreme violence like the 80s is because the really, really violent ones full of blood and guts were OVAs never aired on TV, and the recession back in 2008 killed the OVA market.

Also, some anime are censored for TV but are allowed to go ham on DVD, JoJo for example was like that all the time, veeery heavy shadows to not show a guy ripping a dog's face with a bite.

This is the entire fucking point of Higurashi, and it's gore-hounds like you crying for more scenes of lolis getting eviscerated who've ruined future entries for the rest of us.

Elfen Lied and that little bit of Born in Abyss are incredible nonos for me for the most part. Savage violence to what look like children doesn't sit will with me... though this is kind of bullshit since I read the manga "Make the Exorcist fall in love" which is some of the most savage shit I've seen in shounen Jump the Lord of the flies makes a little girl eat her baby brother, yes, it's graphic

Before if an enemy was disintegrated by a blast they'd often be shown in excruciating detail falling apart, like Cell and Buu, or even just minions like Dore of Cooler's Armored Squadron. Compare it to Vegeta killing Ginyu in DBS and it just feels much less visceral.

Yeah, that is very noticeable. Older stuff really enjoyed going hard in those moments. But for a while everything is still violent but very "clean". So Akame Ga Kill is a fucking bloodbath of a series (and shit, you are not missing anything), but it's one of those were everything is very clean cuts, not a single proper bruise and so on.

Hell got to insist on it, NOBODY gets bruises in anime or swollen wounds outside of gags. Though I blame more the bishification of everything than reducing violence in the media since the pretty boys and waifus can never stop being perfect even when mutilated or dead. I do agree that the crazy shit like Akira, Orotsukidoji or Doom Megalopolis is a thing of the past though, and I agree that it's more the death of OVAs that caused this.

As for the original topic of characters having batman logic... read less shounen is the best I can say, Seinen for the most part give 0 shits about that. Also, read more manga, they tend to be more visceral even in shounen series. Even something as tame as Naruto, you had the bone demon guy opening is flesh to take out the bones instead of the goey crap that happened in the anime.
 
I mean it depends on what you watch. Solo Leveling is coming out this season. I've seen a man spit in half and gush blood, limbs chopped off with tons of blood, and the MC thrown onto a altar by a giant just dripping blood. This is a mainstream show. I think anime is doing fine

It's kinda fucked up how the "officially approved sequel" shit these past few years just fucking completely spits in the face of the original. Something that's like "jumping to conclusions/killing bad" and the usual tried and true "power of friendship and the human spirit prevailing over supposed fate" kinda deal expects you to believe that after everyone had been through that traumatic shit and remembers it one of the least likely characters to do so just suddenly gets time travel powers and decides over some petty ass reason to be "the REAL mastermind behind everything!!" Oh no no but you see it's totally ok because they're now confirmed canon lesbians u guize! troo love wins and everythings back to normal at the end haha wow!

I fucking hate it, all of it.
I remember a few years back when I was finally getting around to going through the OG higurashi VN due to a friend streaming it to me on occasion as something to do together each time Rika or Satoko showed any form of concern or affection for each other he'd occasionally make remarks of "remember, they're lesbians haha!" And literally all I got out of the actual stuff going on was "these are 2 traumatized kids with dead parents who are best friends and can't really afford to lose their friends after losing literally everything." I don't give a fuck about what got supposedly confirmed years after the fact for blatant marketing reasons, I have no stake in the Dobson-esque state of the "fandom" that led to goutsou existing.
Oh yeah it's TOTALLY just about the gore and lesbians guys, Rika's the REAL main character because of the time travel stuff! And Satoko is the funny abusive crazy one because of the character in umineko based on a combo of her and takano! It's not like we spent several god damn chapters moving from keiichi as the focus to an ensemble cast of the whole friendgroup including Rika as we moved deeper into the plot or anything! Totally didn't go through a WHOLE ASS CHAPTER EACH DEDICATED TO EACH KID IN THE FRIEND GROUP'S PERSPECTIVE HAHA!!!

Fed up with this shit, Wake my ass up when something else cries.

Anyways yeah Violence in media is pretty over-censored but oddly the sex shit stays. Oddly violence isn't too censored and sometimes even played up with abusive relationship/weird sex stuff but you rarely fucking seldom see dudes just mowing down enemies anymore. Reminds me of the weird shit going on with sony where they censored a bunch of games but the last of us part 2 had the infamous bad mocap uncensored sex scene.

FMA was milquetoast back then, so nothing's changed. The amount of shit out there with comparable violence/nudity levels in the manga world at the same rating is fucking staggering, and it's coming out in tyol 2023.

Now the adapatations of said shit, yeah. Not so much, but again, broadcast adaptations were always cucked. Compare Escaflowne-the-manga vs Escaflowne-the-TV show, and then cry me a river about how in the 90s TV anime was cucked because you didn't get enough Hitomi nudity or whatever. Or hell, any adapted TV-broadcast anime in the 90s. Yes, even Berserk was toned down, and that shit was late night with a high budget.
 
ShitLurker dijo:
The anime left me between "s'alright" to "wtf did I just see" from the halfway point. Was the anime very loyal to the mange or were there differences that make the manga worth looking into independently?

Manga is very different. I'm pretty certain it's the original idea of the story, they just changed it last-minute for the anime or something. For instance, Van is a jackass, and Hitomi is like a navigation device for Escaflowne and she gets possessed by her spirit. It's weird.

I love the anime still, I just think it's neat to get different retelling.
