They will deride anime as childish and absurd when they worship a movie whose premise is based on a godlike being that attempts to solve resource scarcity by erasing half the population instead of simply doubling the resources. I never understood how that ridiculous idea made it past the writers' table.
I don’t think his plan is meant to be logical. All the other characters say he’s insane and he’s literally referred to as “the mad titan”. He’s just brain broke. It’s not like fascism in our world is particularly reasonable either.
The problem is that the protagonists don't actually argue against his beliefs. In fact, the protagonists generaly do agree with him that there's too many people in the world hogging up resources, there's offhanded remarks about how nicer the emptier world is.
They just don't like his methods because he's too mean about it and makes people sad in the process.
In what shows were those remarks made? I don’t remember that but I haven’t seen everything or rewatched most of the ones I have seen.
