Chainsaw Man has... odd scenes too. Not sure what do you mean by degenerate, but yeah. Sexual and weird.

I keep googling stuff and I am realising how much of it I have seen before without context.
Space Dandy was made by the Bebop/Champloo dude, right?
Yeah, I am reading Chainsaw Man now, that could potentially lead into Dorohedoro when it comes to weird and just... ugh.

Girls und Panzer is one of those things people mention when it comes to weird anime concepts. For the longest time I thought it was the same as Tanya the evil.

I love Tiger & Bunny, which nobody fucking knows, but hey. FMA is pretty much perfect storytelling to me, Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, I really really liked Xam'd: Lost Memories, liked Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei (even though the end resolution was fucking dumb), Mushishi is beautiful, Natsume Yuujinchou too, Gintama was hilariously dumb (stopped watching anime while it was still going, so nowhere near caught up), I did like Ouran High School Host Club as a teen, Baccano is fucking amazing.

I dislike Clamp's stuff (yes, that includes Codea Geass), Stein's Gate, TTGL and I cry VERY easily, so I am scared of trying Violet Evergarden, even though it looks so beautiful.

There are some I am already interested in, like Made in Abyss, Golden Kamuy, The Tatami Galaxy (one of my all time fave illustrators did the original character designs for it), etc.

I just realised Dororo =/= Dorohedoro.
Which also looks fun as fuck, but yeah.

That's what I especially hate, they're not even creative enough to come up with a metaphor that's accessible to all audiences, they just pull out some "durrrr police brutality" shit over and over and it's tiring.

It also assumes some kind of a universal "fate" where no matter the setting, the exact same shit happens. Like black-ish looking people are always victims. Women are always victims.
Like you can build up a whole planet from 0 and it still ends up with the exact same people getting the exact same outcome. Does that mean they are destined to suck?

Holy shit, HP is almost isekai, I just understood this and you blew my mind a bit. :D

I'm a person who really cares about characters. So to me, Western superhero comics are no go, specifically because they just reboot and rework and rewrite the same fucking characters.
Like UWU, this one is still Wolverine, but now he is a high school girl who acts nothing like Wolverine. So why would I care? I cared about the person he was, not the costume.

Mieruko-chan looks interesting. I already feel for the poor girl lol.

Ms Marvel from a couple years back, I don't remember the exact issue. Basically she started some commie police with other young people and they arrested some boy who, through some magic technology, they knew was a future potential school shooter or some such.

That's just so sad. They don't want to be conflicted or really think about their morals and where they exactly stand.

I love fantasy the most. Action-focused things, steampunk is always a plus. Not really into romance and harem and such.
I also generally love stories about historical/semi-historical people and events that are just odd and lesser known. I'm really excited about starting Golden Kamuy, if that makes it clearer what I mean.

Right? I absolutely love how in that story, the love between the boy and his sister is a central point. it's so adorable how he interacts with his little sister, who is basically "sick".
Funny enough, that should be a message normally SJW type scream about supporting; supportive and loving relationships and understanding towards people who are disabled/ill/have issues.

Also, it's so pretty. No noodle limbs, no intentionally repulsive art style.
The patterns and colours of the clothes are so gorgeous. All the characters have their personal pattern/colour combos. I totally get why it appeals to young girls.
(it's also marketing genius, so much room for subtle and everyday-life-compatible merch)

Any anime you would recommend?
I used to be majorly into anime, but then shit happened and I'm out of the loop with current stuff.

Right? In the West, every single piece has to appeal to everyone. Meanwhile in Japan they seem to be content with reaching a more limited audience, in exchange for creating an authentic piece of a story.

Your last point is interesting, especially when it comes to how communal and societal duties are valued higher in Asia than in the West, but they still have an industry that is far more individualistic than Western media. It's fucked, I tell you.

I actually think a huge reason why Jujutsu Kaisen is so successful is because it knows its own bounds. It's super competently done when it comes to everything is does, but it also doesn't try to be more than what it is. It's not mean-spirited and doesn't try to insult anyone. Yes, it is self-aware when it comes to shounen as a genre, but in a friendly and loving way.
Which is why I think it's awesome.
Only seen like 15 eps of Demon Slayer, so I don't know much about it, but I suspect it's something similar.
Also, with both, I just love how the main characters are such good kids. Simple, nice, not bratty or conceited. Most of my entertainment is books, I am a literature slut, but the way Western authors write teenagers is fucking awful. They are such nasty little shits and they have no consequences coming.
So that's why I find Yuuji Itadori to be hugely refreshing. Kid is such a little brother type, it's insane.

You know what's also funny? More and more mangaka seem to be super secretive about their identities, even huuuugely succesful ones. Like the Jujutsu Kaisen dude and the person (I suspect to be a woman) who did Demon Slayer.
In Japan, it's just like... yeah, this person wants to be anonymous. In the West, idiots claim they must be genderfluid and non-binary and such.

As the article says, manga and anime is just so varied.
This is something Western SJW types don't understand; to attract a wide range of potential audiences, you have to actually make something that appeals to them. Some people do not want loud leftist political messages and doom and gloom.
Manga and anime goes all the way from high concepts to super everyday stuff, but it also has a bunch of specialised, niche topics. Like anime about... a freaking high school swimming team. Or about a boy going to agriculture school (this is a super down-to-earth series, from the author of FMA, a high concept series).
With SJW Western things, you have ridiculous, nonsensical sci-fi/fantasy (a world where woman can only say a certain number of words and such bullcrap) or very low concept, but that's always about the characters being "queer" or "BIPOC". They have nothing interesting going on, just being a lebian with a shaved head. So they lose their purpose; there is no story, but also you can't just relax to it, because it's fearmongering bullshit and pity porn.

Anime and manga also have a way broader spectrum of allowed topics and ways to handle them. Western media at this point is ridiculously limiting.
Talking about FMA, Scar is a character who is portrayed as scary. You can understand he is a traumatised person who was seriously wronged. But he did horrible things because of his rage and that makes him complex. Not all of his decisions are great and he has to go through an arch of realising and changing his ways.
Do you think SJW types would wrtie something like that? A victim becoming the aggressor, then realising he is a monster and changing his ways? No. Their pet victim characters can never do anything wrong, their actions are always justified.
They don't dare to do emotionally conflicting things and so their sotries lose weight. Remember when Kamala Khan, a civillian, created an illegal prison with her friends and kidnapped people for actual THOUGHTCRIME and we were supposed to yass kween?

I remember Mary Phagan. Leo Frank raped and murdered her and ADL was started because people took care of the pedophile murderer, but ooooh, it was just because he was a Jew, totally. He even tried to blame it on some rando black dude.

This is the thing. the ADL is evil from the get go.

So you think children having access to book depicting sexual acts between adults and children in a positive light is cool, as long as they also have LOTR in the same library?
That is some nonsense kind of thought process there.

The multiple old priests who had fuckall with women living in celibacy? Or the randos they kill in every terror attack that you can't blame on women, but you still act like a jerk?

They are the same Arabs as everywhere else, mainly coming through the Balkans. You try to sass about something you don't know.

The single and childless can be women too. HELLO, I AM ONE. If anything, feminists really support the idea of just aborting and UWU forever.

You are so idiotic about men. An Afghan man will chop off your head just as much as he will chop off mine. No, he will not love you and support you just because dick, because you are still not one of them. Look at what they do to other men.
Oh, maybe the humiliating shit they will do to you before will be slightly different from what they will do to me, so I guess you will get the warm and fuzzies as they kill you, so that's nice.
