I think it's fairly good. If you're super allergic to CGI and fanservice it's probably not for you, though. | ||

Anyway I just thought it's kind of funny how CN/USA are these bad guys in Gate. I'd rather everyone be what they are, bad and good. If you want to write a story dealing with mature topics then write it maturely. That's really the main issue. | ||

Germany doesn't really try to deny what happened. I mean yeah i'm enjoying gate but the japan fanwank is pretty lol. Then we have the opposite in outbreak company where modern governments are completely 'evil'. | ||

Usually I can't stand harem shows or shows with harem vibes. There are a few exceptions however and JWWW seems to be one of them. | ||

If you want to write a story dealing with mature topics then write it maturely. That's really the main issue. I am aware that japan is killing themselves internationally every second with their backwards attitude/xenophobia and their continual flaw of depending on the LDP time and time again. they can do that as much as they want. It doesn't mean they will go all IJA on everyone else though. | ||

It's selling like shit(atleast pre-orders for BD/DVD are really really bad so far), so i guess they were just testing waters and hoping for it boosting manga sales and nothing else. Unless it boosts the manga sales by a shitload we'll probably never get a second cour at this rate  Most 1-cour anime are just glorified ads for the manga/LN/whatever. | ||

Yea I was exaggerating a bit when I said then, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't go down like IJA did or at least hope humanity isn't like that anymore. It's just the whole "every other nation is greedy evil scum while we just peace loving people coming to help out who we can and if we get bonus resources then sure why not". I even hear this is toned down from the original web novel so I can't even imagine how pro Japan that must have been. It's my main issue with the show/story as everything else so far has been pretty cool and interesting. My general rule of thumb is politics done well is interesting but politics down badly completely destroys any good in a story. I here there is more sexual violence and dominance later on. Based on how the politics are being handled I kind of have my doubts about that being handled maturely. I think I've only read 2(maybe 3?) Fantasy authors actually dealing with the aftermath of sexual violence. Sometimes that's obviously fine to not deal with it but a lot of the time I feel they merely use it as a tool for quick sympathy and move on with the characters which sits poorly. | ||

In Hollywood stuff in 99% of the cases it's the US who save the world from aliens or who are fighting off the evil russians/germans (germans not so much anymore) and whatnot. Yes exceptions exist but they're rare. I wouldn't argue that THAT is something strange. | ||

Yes exceptions exist but they're rare. I wouldn't argue that THAT is something strange. No one ever wants to be considered history's villain. Thats why American movies don't general depict America as the bad guys, and why Japanese stuff doesn't show the Japanese as the bad guys. It just becomes a question of how honest that depiction is. Like in the context of this conversation, the idea that Japan wasn't villainous in WW2 is just contradicting history. While anime and tokusatsu in general are full of YAMATO DAMASHIII, I always find it more interesting when they go the opposite way, or at least get call out that shit in the work. For example, one of the more interesting Godzilla films didn't have Godzilla as a nuclear allegory, but rather the physical embodiment of the people who suffered at the hands of the Japanese in WW2, here to punish the unapologetic Japanese. Or how in MLA, the IJA's NIPPON BANZAI ways starts a shitfest, and eventually an American officer goes on a rant, calling them infantile, followed by the MC going "...Hes absolutely right!" | ||
