Welcome to c/anime on Hexbear!
A leftist general anime community for discussion and memes.
Simple rules
Be nice.
Use spoiler tags.
Don't sexualise underage characters, including 1000 year old loli ones.
Don't post hentai here. This is an anime community.
High quality threads you should definitely visit
Gigathread: Good Anime Talks, Presentations, Conventions, Panels, etc
Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://9anime.to/ and https://4anime.to/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
the level of whiplash from thinking you were gifted darling in the franxx to realizing it's actually turn a gundam could probably snap a person's neck without protection
I love how Darling in the Franxx was such a let-down in every way possible.
Me smuggling illegal copies of Turn A Gundam past the gender police
This would assuredly kill me from whiplash. Instantaneously
Smh, instead of peak Kino - getting bad shows nobody wants to watch (it's OLD) smh
If you like your Gundamns (weirdo) check out a GOOD show: Cross Ange
disclaimer
Jokes aside, probably don't. It's VERY weeb-brained, VERY horny and features a mountain of CWs. And in spite of all that, it's probably one of the better written Mecha shows since Code Geass (which jumps the shark hard in S2), even if it will make you want to throw your TV/monitor out of the window at its worst moments.
i watched all of cross ange do not listen to this advice. fuck this anime and fuck fukuda, im never watching seed
cw: sa, homophobia, ableism, bad racism metaphor
there is so much sexual assault in this show, it's all very homophobically presented, very predatory lesbians in prison. the main villain is akio ohtori or paptimus scirocco but written with negative levels of tact. the treatment of disability is awful, with her sister in the wheelchair being told she's just too lazy and entitled to walk. the racism metaphor is some of the clumsiest shit you'll ever see, worse than rwby.
also (less importantly) the stuff with tusk is some of the biggest bullshit i've ever seen. why is his dick out in the op???? why does he keep head butting her pussy????? how did he survive his suicide bombing????? apparently the answer to all of these things is that mitsuo fukuda liked him and demanded he stay and admitted as much on twitter
Yeah, Cross Ange is definitely REALLY bad in the things that make it bad, including as I mentioned - the mountain of CWs.
The pro-equality plot is there I suppose, but there's so much unsavory stuff on top of it that it drowns out everything in its taste - beyond the six or so episodes in the middle of the show where it eases off for whatever reason.
It's like an expensive microwave pizza with expired toppings. As compared to the store brand microwave pizza of many modern mechanime - bland but at least it's safe to eat.
I would not seriously recommend Cross Ange to anyone but people who actively seek out bad media. Thank you that you commented this, for my joke was not obvious enough.
yeah, it's definitely not bland! i watched it with my partner and it's a miracle we're still together after i made her do that
SEED is so bad it made me lose interest in anime for like 15 years lol
