If they had an actual cultural problem with it pedo merchandise wouldn’t be advertised in store windows.

All I’m saying is the Captain of the Eagle Eyes is apparently a prince as well.
Time for a certain useless prince no one likes to get replaced in the succession one way or another.

on Japanese sushi chain's Chiikawa collaboration terminated due to "employee misconduct" in c/anime@ani.social · 5 Sep 2026
I was wondering what would have upset them enough to cancel a collaboration with this surreal horror comedy of a show and it’s fraud.
Okay… I guess that makes sense…

And it’s good to question whether the protagonist is actually being reasonable about these things, it just so happens in this specific case she probably is.
I wouldn’t be particularly surprised if there was a peaceful demon village somewhere or another though.

You’re literally being a pastiche of the guy trying to say zombies are just people with a disease as one rips your throat out.
You might well be right, but until the cure is being deployed you need to shoot them in the head.

She doesn’t call them mindless, she says they have only one goal that their minds pursue. By all evidence presented in the show she seems to be correct.

Nah, it’s just world building, they use 4 cards in that variant of poker, unless of course you assemble Exodia.

There’s definitely a lot you could say about Light’s middle class privileges showing in his choice of victims, especially with his cop dad and Japan’s 99.9% conviction rate thanks to their legal presumption of guilt, but I think you also have to acknowledge he is deliberately that type of arrogant, privileged kid.
I think you also have to acknowledge that despite in theory having freedom of expression Japan’s press has been ranked the worst in press freedom for a century, and the role that should play in his ignoring ruling class corruption.
I think it’s deliberate, anyways, in any event the author is a pacifist and he’s very clear that Light isn’t supposed to be a role model.

The other point is that the author straight up hates women but yeah.
I’m different though, I’m special and can do it without being punished by the gods.

You guys are so negative. Critical support for our Twitter comrades is necessary in their quest to annoy the absolute shit out of Musk.

The Bleach Fullbring filler arc is a very clear ripoff of Yu Yu Hakusho’s Chapter Black. Like, undeniably.
Also it sucked.
That’s not really the same problem because you’re comparing a filler arc to main plot but it’s always worth saying because I think it’s funny to annoy uncultured (haven’t seen Yu Yu Hakusho) Bleach stans.

You can just admit your take was bad and you didn’t read the article or watch the show but insist on talking anyways.

on What anime is basically this for you? in c/animemes@ani.social · 20 Aug 2026
I’ve got a pretty high tolerance for trash and don’t mind the overall premise too much (as long it’s not the VR variants) but “outright stupid” is a problem and half of them are too dumb to believe.
“My unique power is underappreciated even though it’s obviously broken so now I’m going to tell the nice girl not to come to school tomorrow” type shit can get buried.

There’s a fight in the first season where the MC starts swinging his sword to perform air dodges that really, really irritated me with everything else they said about his “breathing techniques” at the start that basically meant it couldn’t do that.
Plus it always just makes me laugh when Japanese writers pretend that’s a totally different mystical tradition than Qi.
I really wish everything else about it wasn’t so silly because the animation is undeniably gorgeous.

on The physical media selection at Sony's Crunchyroll is even worse than fans feared after store update: all books removed and Blu-ray lineup gutted in c/anime@ani.social · 18 Aug 2026
I do not believe that. I do believe they compared it to digital production and decided “why have costs at all?”

I have trouble entering the series simply because I don’t trust Japanese creators not named Miyazaki enough to address the question of whether the people that stole magic from the world are really the good guys when their representative is a hot twink who does nothing about bullying and direct attempts at sabotage between his students.

Can’t believe I almost dropped this one for the shojo nonsense of the first fifteen minutes, only for it to be revealed that the shojo nonsense is, apparently, deliberate.

One of the things about Death Note that bothered me is that they never really seemed to use the “choose the cause of death” in any interesting ways.
All I’m saying is rules as written seems to allow you to command someone to scissor themselves to death in any number of ways

That’s a crazily specific demo of people willing to wear that shirt… But if they’d sold it as a sticker I’d probably get some to put up in random places.

on Why can't I get a Japanese girlfriend? in c/animemes@ani.social · 10 Aug 2026
Honestly the odds will be better than you’d think
Bro, it’s Japan. If they (meaning rich Japanese men) don’t like it, it’s illegal to do. And they don’t like a lot of things.
And I didn’t generalize 120 million people.
I specifically made a claim about 30 million of them, the pedo ones.
One of the things about Japan is that they tend to take community complaints relatively seriously. That’s admirable in certain ways, but what it also means is that you get anything illegalized if you’re enough of a Karen about it, from pedo merchandise to brown people existing.
