I apologize for what I said earlier; I'm sorry I got mad earlier. I'm still watching this video. I just got upset earlier because I didn't even watch this video, until now. I love Tomo Aizawa. ❤️ My favorite episode is episode 13 since they kissed. 💋 But anyways, I'm sorry I got angry before watching this video. 📹
so basically you only care about the fact that it has female main characters and not the quality of these series. as excepted from an American. also before any of you hyenas pounce on me for that comment i never implied having female character's as the main character is a bad thing im just saying that the person making this video is a grifter.
Probably why i like romantic killer on Netflix gets dark halfway though supposed to be a comedy but there's a plot with a stalker but its depicted as bad in the anime
It feels like this video was made based on the assumption that people are watching it with the intent of getting into these kinds of relationships in real life when that isn't the case (for the most part). The small minority that are have far bigger problems going on in their lives where anime is used as a coping mechanism or to affirm their feelings. While that is a problem, using anime as a scapegoat doesn't help anyone, nor does it tackle the root cause. You forget that fiction as a concept is used to break the bounds set in reality, and for many people these shows are exactly that, a fantasy. It surprises me that you ask yourself why people watch these kinds of shows when the writing is on the wall. There are many people who enjoy fictional content that has controversial themes but that doesn't necessarily reflect what they want in real life because fiction is not typically an accurate portrayal of real life. While I am all for authentic and accurate representation in fiction, I am against people who push this as a necessity or requirement to the point where fiction is bound by the same rules as real life, since it goes against the very reason fiction as a concept exists in the first place. More people need to recognise when they are simply not the target audience instead of trying to cancel fictional content for having themes that they do not like. I don't understand why there is such a big push for such titles to make adjustments in an effort to "appeal to a wider audience" when in reality something that is made for everyone appeals to no one, that's how you get a bland and sterile product. There are far more important issues out in the real world that tackling fiction isn't going to fix.
I actually wanted to add that the "dysfunction" with these animes start in the original drama of how the main characters come to be. Aka their families tend to be dysfunctional, to want to kill or abandon these girls. The relationships they forge with the undesirable "beasts" in fact become the first functional relationship they have if one looks at their stories. In real life, beggars can't be choosers, the anime stories mostly show the good side. They're not meant to be slice of life, but supernatural, otherwordly, deeply sad yet lucky at the same time. They sell because they're an exception more than a rulebook. Most of the Greek stories of Gods were highly dysfunctional because they were meant to impress, induce a sense of awe and stupor 🤔. But naturally, they do also transmit views of the creator and their society. Improvement-wise, I personally wish their voices and the sounds the female actors are asked to do were more mature.
In Mahoutsukai no Yome and Niehime to Kemono no Ou, no one is forced to marry anyone. Both "partners" are undesirables or outcasts - the girls are sold and underfed (thin, weak) by their own families and communities - betrayed by the human families they were born into. The male is seen as stressed, unable to find a partner, due to some sort of crucial defect that dictates their lives, until the exception comes along and accepts them becauee they themselves don't have a choice... It's forced in a way but not by the main characters themselves. They are often "returned" back only to br betrayed again by the human communities they are returned to...
Just add another black woman that has done a voice work in anime, Queen Bee did the opening for the Dororo and I believe she is trans as well so A+ on representation
My favorite part of Frieren is that we start just like Frieren, we don't really care about the party, we don't really know them, and then we start knowing them and forming a connection with them even though their journey is already over.
Ugh I hate RU-vid's rules. It's so hard to follow what you're trying to say sometimes. I keep watching videos like this hoping to figure out if I should watch MIA, but every single one is so vague. Everyone claims there's a lot of "questionable content" and yet nobody can say what it is. If there's just a bit of nudity and a bunch of violence against children it's not so bad, but people keep saying it's Really Bad and the mangaka is a Weirdo. I guess I just shouldn't be bothering with RU-vid if I want to know if a show would be something I don't want to see.
Cool characters, great soundtrack, in a pop art style? I'm putting this one on my watchlist immediately! I'm sorry though, hearing "intro to anime for someone older, like 20s and up" and I had to yell. I'm well past 30 and I'm flattered that you didn't assume all of my generation wasted our young lives watching Toonami and Adult Swim anime all day and all night. And you're right, some of us wasted it watching MTV instead. I could probably get my sister to try this one, maybe.
i didn't mind it t first because the punishment and riko being desensitized to... it was weird but like okay, it's a weird world. I ignored it. But then as it went on it just got more and more annoying and the toilet scene was a breaking point. AND THEN I started reading manga and it got even more uncomfortable.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for creating this video! I LOVE Tokyo Godfathers, and I have always been captivated by the mood and themes from Wolf's Rain. I had no idea who Nobumoto-san was and how much she provided to all these amazing animation works. God bless!
Few years late, I decided to revisit this anime as I'd watched it when I was around 14. I'm 18 now, seeing some of the episodes was unsettling and I felt it was unbelieveably unnecessary. Like someone else said, it's good to know I'm not the only one who was uncomfortable.
I can't believe how much we beat around the bush with this one. The dude obv has a skat/piss fetish, obs pedi vibes all around, obs loves to insert other fetishes. Everything can be changed/removed and the story will keep being good.
I’ve watched dawn of the dead maybe 5 times now. I like stories where the main characters get drug through hell and back and experience all sorts of terrors and still come on top.
Eeeem... but you are aware, of the fact, that you thinking something is weird, doesn't actually have nothing to do with morality of this? and definitely doesn't mean, that other people can't enjoy that? right?
MIA is a great series with some amazing world-building, amazing style and visuals, fantastic music and sound design, etc, and I love that ...but then it'll go and do something that just makes me think "why... why would you put this in your manga, and why did Citrus then feel the need to put it in the anime"
i am planning a fantasy comic series but when i watched frieren, it has similar vibe and morals so i am worried that ppl might think in the future it is like any other fantasy story and it will be overrated like isekai ;-; .
Why is nobody talking about that scene "i think it was in the movie but not sure" where the robot boy is sat in a chair with toture thing around and he has one of those fcking Pnis size ennanncer vacuming his pee or whatever . Realy shocked me out of nowhere .wanna talk about body fluids? Wtf was that
One thing I find interesting with the series is that Maomao and Jinshi are treated kinda like the opposite of their gender by the narrative. Maomao is driven by her curiosity and thirst for knowledge, she likes helping people because that's who she is and she doesn't have to be put in a romance with Jinshi, whereas Jinshi is (at least more early on) treated as eye candy to the audience and other characters where he is the one who falls for Maomao first and his main motivations at the moment are to help Maomao while he falls for her more and more. It's like the reverse of typical tropes for the leading male character and the secondary woman character
You do know Shoujo audience have moved to Kdrama right? It’s okay to let a genre die if the audience number has dropped significantly. There are a few Shoujo anime still out there but it’s reflective on the number of people that still watches that which is little
We do have to consider that in that time people were that cruel and sebastian is a demon and demons don’t care about the years you have lived or age and of course he has bad intentions. He feeds off of trauma so it makes sense to keep the wound open in a subtle manner.
Sorry but anime fans in general said that "it's not real bro, just calm" and that's why manga creators have like a shield protecting them Remember the magical girls anime with ecchi. Literally the girls are minors and contains a lot of fetish and rape but their fans said "It's fiction bro" lol
Slightly off topic: There is a reason why I wanted to make a Berserk inspired original story that removed a lot of the sexual assault and retooled a lot of that bleakness into a story that had to deal with all of humanity forced to to forever resist or giving into canibalism due to unnatural circumstances, keeping the ideas and themes of struggle and the world being bleak with a glimmer of hope like Kentaro inspired me. Made In Abyss is genuinely designed to make people uncomfortable, and I have respect for the fans who have taken away the best messages from it, but when there is an overuse of Reiko shirtless scenes or the “big dick” jokes that are used as levity, it feels like a contradiction. Sexualizing a kid or moe doesn’t and shouldn’t have to happen to hammer home that it’s a dark series, the gore, psychological trauma, and violence should do enough to sell it. Those two points alone make me not wanna touch this on my crunchy roll history because I’m a dad, and I don’t want my kid questioning why I watch Anime. At least Berserk makes it clear r*piste deserve a gruesome death, or how Chainsaw Man explores red flags involved with manipulation of youth and grooming.
@@Halfrican-Jones who find those romances charming believes that the society should be openminded about the real life ones, after all they. know their reasons to be together ♥️ about the r a p e content in Berserk, yes, is not suitable like the fact that Griffith sacrificed his band to get power, but the manga is so popular that many concepts still take notes from Berserk The Taimanin franchise is so popular for such content that has videogames, merchandise, spinoffs and other things Lastly, your child runs less risks with Made in Abyss than with the modern u.s. kids shows with queers, put him Doraemon or Anpanman
I really love the fantasy trend that's been happening recently. Dorohedoro is another excellent fantasy series written by a woman (Q Hayashida) as well as her new series Dai Dark. Women truly are saving not only fantasy but anime in general. Great video.
I’m sorry but tourist from what I seen is only used by pdf files. Also it’s cringe to call others tourists. Please let Japanese citizens only call outsiders tourists
When watching Carole & Tuesday, it felt as if I was watching an American show with an anime coating. A lot of the newer American animated shows and movies seem to feature modern acting and musical talents to bring in an audience. Miles Morales Spiderman and Arcane for example. Also, both Carole and Tuesday were boring. Outshined by other characters in the show, in my opinion. Like best girl Angela.
