Redo is actual art. All that you mentioned is just the backdrop for the story. What makes them REEEE is that it shows making the world a better place requires being a chad and never simping for women. He ignores the "rights" and opinions of all femoids not just the heroine.

Takamine-san is just a brainless ecchi and coomer bait. No wonder preddiotrs love it.

It is worth noting that the author of the Redo light novels was surprised to find out ton of women buying his books. Targeted male audience only. Goes to show that women, deep down in their subconscious, are not happy with modern feminist society.

Every weeb girl, no exceptions, has fapped to the rape of Flare in episode 2 of the anime.

Its got literally everything girls want in an MC. A psychotic rape chad that abuses and controls women, but also has a sad boi backstory that makes him secretly hurting and needing love. Its comically perfect.

Redo of Healer has far more female purchasers of product than male. The audience base is quite skewed.

A fun fact of the universe was that both Redo and Dress up Darling were getting big around the same time. One was a girly girl show written by a femcel about her self-insert getting a cosplay BF martysue, yet it was primarily consumed by men.

While the "incel revenge fantasy" Redo ended up as the opposite and was everything women wanted.

Dress Up Darling, Horimiya, Angle Next Door, Pseudo Harem, Alya Hides Her Feelings, Makeine

I feel personally attacked that I've seen all of these, sans Angel Next Door.

Though I have extreme opinions that most of these start great and then fall into the classic trap of "we need conflict! quick make up some bullshit misunderstanding!!!!"

Which, if we use the "masturbation for the heart" example, is like putting an entire sad drama storyline in the middle of a porn shoot.

Goes to show that women, deep down in their subconscious, are not happy with modern feminist society.

Deep down they want to be dominated by a strong man, because they think with their vaginas, contrary to what they would like to believe. Every one of their "romance" novel male leads should be categorized as misogynist, creepy, chauvinist, etc. by their own standards, but because they are a billionaire vampire surgeon pirate with a 10 inch dick and abs, they are given a free pass.

Women don't actually like their modern lives of having to go to an office for 8 hours a day and coming home to some cats and drinking wine. They just do it because they are "supposed" to do it. They actually want a man to be the dominant force in the house and tell them what to do. This is why married women with few partners and children are much more happy than single thots with tattoos and piercings.

And where do they get these titles? Do they just pipe the original through google translate and call it good? Japanese media has always put me off with their nonsensical English titles.

Hell, they sometimes do a literal translation and the title becomes totally nonsensical.

Redo of Healer is titled that because he is the "healer hero" of the party and is literally given a redo of his life after they kill the demon lord in the first chapter.

Also, most of the time the titles are either puns or kanji (aka a single character that takes like 3-7 words to spell out) in their original form. So once its translated to any other language it loses all the reasons it was originally made that way.

Supposedly it comes from light novels (which many anime shows are based upon). I guess someone got it in their head that people were confused by ambiguous names, so they started literally just summarizing the plot as the title.

It's a great way to avoid trash most of the time, because actually talented artists still use sane titles.

I believe you are correct, although I've never seem any discussion on it. It's just "a thing" and didn't start recently, it is used more often now ofc.

"A Turnip Story" is ambiguous, meaningless until you read chapter 1. So like you said, it'll get skipped a lot (unless one looks at the tags, but who does that? Kids these days, eh!)

"I was reincarnated in a fantasy world as a talking turnip & joined the court of the royal palace!" Now THERE'S a title that gets your attention 😋 I'd better copywrite it before it get stolen...

Takamine-san is just femdom fetish material, its not a romcom, almost no humor in it whatsoever, just a humiliation ritual for the MC while the girl that "likes" him wrecks him emotionally, mentally, physically, etc.

The art is pretty sick though and I honestly would have fallen for the same shit for someone that looked like her as a high school age male so I don't really blame the kid in the context of the story.

Never read Redo, don't really watch anime and just tend to read, may give it a shot some time now that so many chapters are out.

edit - Read the first 10 or so chapters of Redo, its pretty garbage just in terms of isekai stories(which is already a pretty mediocre genre), art is okay but even the fanservice/eyecandy girls are not anything too special, if you want revenge stories there are just so many better ones, but if you hate women you might enjoy it a bit more

Takamine-san is just femdom fetish material

Mato Seihei No Slave / Chained Soldier hit the same fanservice notes. And made it funny. And framed the whole thing in a way where it wasn't abusive. Takamine-san just sucks.

I would call Mato Seihei no Slave much closer to a romcom - I've laughed at several chapters at least - as well as having similarly good art to Takamine-san, definitely handled it better overall.

I'd rate it like a 4-4.5/10 so that tracks imo, but it is just because of how completely braindead every single character including the MC is. I just figure if you dislike women it gets bonus points because you get to see strawman women villains and see them properly punished for their crimes.

Skimming replies and not seeing any mention of Shield Hero at all. That one ruffled a lot of a certain group's feathers, with the protagonist being falsely accused of sexual assault and the usual suspects showing up to deny that false accusations ever happen because 1 in 3 is still somehow a sacred cow

Its because Shield Hero got so bad after Season 1 that everybody collectively wants to forget it exists outside the handful of Racoongirl simps still out there.

It was far longer than "a year" it was his entire adult life (in the first timeline). Also tortured every day as well. They hooked him on drugs and forced him to heal others even though he felt the full pain of every wound he healed. BUT that's all OK in a leftist mind because he's a (White) male. He lays one finger on a "girl" and he's the evil one in their twisted world view.

Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san looks like a steaming pile of shit, to be honest. The "price" she pays is... taking off underwear? So what if she strips nude first? She jus goes back in time and no one remembers it. Except some rando? Dumb.

Strangely? Both have an identical 6.33 rate on MAL as I write this 😮

But it's not a tale of two animes, it's a tale of THREE animes...

Because the third is Apothecary Diaries, which has culturally accepted prostitution, monarchical polygamy, "I can't believe it's not slavery", and is toping every chart in rankings and sales.

Not a fan of redo, I know the story as far as you have mentioned from general knowledge, not the biggest on rape in story especially happening to men. Takamine-san I never put that together, touché.

It IS really fucked up but it seems people do not like the show that much at least from where I checked. I doubt there's really much of an agenda behind it from the Japanese side of things but westerners obviously lapping it all up and ignoring what actual bad thing has happened there is not even a surprise anymore. They hate heterosexual men and want us gone.

You know you've gotta get used to it by now, the mind of westoids, they will excuse bad behaviours of women because they are women. At first I was shocked and depressed at how lopsided the western culture was but now I got used to it.
