Since .org has this thread I decided to make one here too. Plus I just like delinquent manga.

Delinquent manga is unique in that its main characters are the complete opposite of perverted, socially inept self-inserts that are especially common in harem manga and isekai: social, vagabond, streetwise, brutally honest, hot-blooded, short-tempered, adrenaline-seeking, unruly, crude, manly, volcel, courageous, free-spirited tsundere assholes. They break all the conventions that are accepted in mainstream manga and are arguably the inspiration for legendary battle shonen protagonists like Naruto Uzumaki. Delinquent manga is like a shadow of what mainstream manga is. It is also an expression of the mangakas' lust for simple freedom expressed through the characters they wished they could have been instead of the salarymen they have become.

Delinquent manga is no different from typical western slapstick comedy. The only difference is, anime delinquents are usually good looking.

Also shonen has a lot of the hot headed goofballs as main characters that are then turned into butt of jokes.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Delinquent manga are formulaic. And they're so cliche with their excessive edgelord humor.

Christ.

I hate it when people glorify such asinine humor.
As of though Family Guy and South Park weren't enough.

I think cool headed stoic tsunderes are much better.

I tire of the aggressive confrontational machismo behavior of delinquent characters

I honestly hate that there are so many ultra-right VTubers. It's a medium very vulnerable to the Alt-Right (I know the Alt-Right doesn't exist as such, but it's an example. I also hate how they try so hard to look like very young idols with childish voices. It's… bizarre (I won't deny that I watch it sometimes, but it's weird bro)

You know, there are far better comic dubs than this. It's like the most robotic R34 porn, the most generic AI-generated junk, the jankiest SFM animations, the most basic YouTube Poops, the emptiest open-world AAA games, the most obnoxious brostep.

As in making animesque cartoons and collaborating with Japanese studios? They already did. As in making Japanese anime? I don't think that's possible, they don't own a Japanese studio.
>I mean seriously, why not?
The whole appeal of Western animation is that it's DIFFERENT from anime. We need MORE quality Western-style animation like Panty and Stocking, not less, the state of both Nick and Disney nowadays is pathetic tbh. All my bets are on Adult Swim and the streaming exclusives, everyone else sucks balls (except indies). CN and Nick's cartoons can finally be called "just for kids," thank you, Zaslav, very cool. Although they say they're making new Gumball and Regular Show seasons.

New 52 was DC Comics' edgy phase, Starfire was just fine before/after that (well… maybe not the newer comics), even though her easy-going fanservice girl aspect was always there.

In terms of corporate practice or content?

Because if it's content, then IDK if it's nostalgic bias or something.

That's shallow. Just because something is terrible doesn't mean it only appeals to kids
Irony is, there's far more shitty "for adult" entertainment than "for kids".

.org already has a leftist anime thread so I thought that here we can go further. This thread is for all anime that is overtly leftist. That means no allegories/metaphors/"vibes," no monarchism, no counter-revolutions, no revanchism, no progressivism, no liberalism and no guilt by association with a right-wing fanbase. Go ahead and post your recommendations with an explanation why you picked them.

It seems to me that non-Japanese are the biggest otaku when it comes to international athletes, at London or maybe Beijing there was another gymnast who used Zelda music for her routine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pCmxmCrg2U), and Mexican gymnast Alexa Moreno used Kimetsu no Yaiba music at the Women's Floor qualifications this year (vid related).

We all like to be uber-weebs who accept anime with all its weird quirks that movie critics would scoff at (Eva is a prime example of this) but some trope I will never get over is blatant imperialism in some anime. And I'm not just talking about some metaphorical imperialism like in AoT. I'm talking about the blatant imperialist apologia which the Fire Nation does in Avatar. I remember watching Kingdom and I could not believe my eyes. I have not seen an imperialist propaganda this blatant and shameless. Do you know any other examples? And is it symptomatic of seinen or you can find this bs in other demographics?

One type of manga and anime that I don't understand the appeal of is kodomomuke. Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy stuff made for children and adolescents: shonen, shojo, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon. But that's, like, preschool stuff, I cannot take it seriously at all. Do you guys read this kind of manga? What do you think?

Also, why is Yotsuba& shonen?

Very interesting stuff. Especially this bit:
<Yes, I like manga! I actually read everything. I tend to read shoujo manga from a work-like perspective, unfortunately, but I read a lot of works in magazines every month. I also read BL or shounen manga. Everything, actually. But actually more the well-known works, less the lesser-known ones. One Piece, Kingdom, Golden Kamuy … I read everything that's currently on in Japan and cry and laugh like a normal reader. (laughs)
Maybe the Japanese themselves don't care about demographics all that much. I am interested which mangaka also like One Piece (if the author of Berserk also likes it I'm gonna scream).

They probably do on some level, but the demographic shrinkage in Japan is in a very advanced stage already. They would have to dramatically reduce the exploitation rate to turn that around.
