Anime is capitalist art in the purest form

Industrialized production, that relies on completely subjugated and underpaid caste of wage slaves doing mechanical labour.
Modular structure that recycles and recombines few primitive plot and graphical tropes.
Profit is the one and only goal. There is obviously not a trace of goals of traditional art.

Samurai Champloo was good. Cowboy Bebop seems good.

What's your opinion on Miyazaki's movies?

Anime a has gone the way of vidya. A once unique and entertaining form of media that grew too big and is now a slave to the capitalist's endless need for profit.

This and Sword of the Stranger

Welcome to the NHK, Paranoia Agent and the other Satoshi Kon films are great too

Go back to r/FC

Couldn't agree more with OP. I gave Anime so many chances and all I was given back was filler after filler after filler and writing worth jack shit.

I wholeheartedly agree

...

You have good taste.

Anime promotes real values like developing a valuable community. What do Western cartoons promote? Crass materialism. Toy Story teaches children to value inanimate objects and treat them like they are sentient beings instead of plastic crap, while Barakamon teaches people that focusing too much on a career is a waste of time if you're not surrounded by people you value.

Anime > American Crap

This. Also really like how female characters are allowed to have actual personalities that aren't just "strong, independent woman" stereotypes.

One of the biggest toy and merchandising related shows in the world is an anime

Everything you said applies to every other form of art under capitalism. Now fuck off.

Also, Miayazaki and Anno are both commies. Just saying.

The show is promotional material for the game moron. In fact a vast majority of anime are just promos for manga. Anime originals are fairly rare.

Pokemon is a disgrace, but it wasn't intended to become what it became. The creator wanted to get children addicted to video games to go out and make friends by having to trade Pokemon in the real world. Capitalism perverted his goal.

Nothing less to expect from a tankie. You'd like to see women express "actual" personalities, wouldn't you?

OP confirmed to have shit taste

There is a value to genuine femininity, a value that can't be sold as a product. So Capitalist media perverts the very idea of feminine women, and turns them all either into men in women's bodies, or into uber-whores that do nothing but fuck. Capitalism is a cancer that must be destroyed.

Who gives a shit where the show came from. I just wanted to cherry pick something to show you how retarded you are. I would legitimately believe the same thing if pokemon was the standard I used to judge japanese animation.

Go take a Zoloft, whore.

>>>Holla Forums

See

Just like capitalism perverts western animation too.

You're not fooling me.

Of course, but the point is that all American animation is garbage. There's some good Irish and French animation, but the Amerifats only produce materialist trash.

No, you have done the job yourself.

Do you know how I tell Yanks from actual people just be observing their use of language? Yanks can't stop themselves from raping the words "idealism" and "materialism".

Go poor some tea up your ass.

True. The only time capitalism pays tribute to "femininity" is when it is trying to justify unpaid domestic labor. It's disgusting.

South park and rick and morty aren't that bad. I need to puke every now and then because of overdosing on ideology, but It's watchable when I need to rest.

I responded because I was wondering why'd you refer to your fellow Yanks as "Amerifats" when you're clearly one yourself.
Are you a sociopath? Do you not understand how empathy works in general principle?

If you truly believe that, you're already lost. Do the world a favor and kill yourself so your sick mind doesn't seep out of your skull and poison more people.

I can understand Miayazaki being at least a leftie, but how is user? As much as I love evangelion is is a pretty reactionary. The culmination of Shinji character is too accept the shittiness of life as he knows it instead of a new, different and arguably higher form of human civilization.

Yes, I do understand how empathy works, and Capitalist filth manipulate the empathetic nature of children in order to sell products.

Idealism is bad.

I just finished a long ass essay on anime on
>>>/leftyweebpol/
come tell me how retarded I am.

I need to consume something which will help me turn off my brain for a minute every now and then. Also, it's funny to watch with someone. Are you one of those non-stop working people?

Very.

How new are you to left ideas? After the first few years, if not months or weeks, the zeal inevitably fades, and then all you are left with is hopelessness before the face of inevitability. It's normal. If you won't reject left ideas down the road, you'll come to intimately know this ennui just as they have.

Why are you even here? If the only way for you to relax is to consume a product, then you clearly have no reason to be here, you are addicted to capitalism.

Hey thanks

Of course I am, I need to spend 8 hours a day thinking about what my employer tells me just to be able to put food on my table and have a roof above my head. The only cure for that is revolution, and that's not coming tomorrow.

Do you work? What do you do for fun instead of shitposting on taiwanese communist forum?

Princess Mononoke was great, Wind Rises was good.


Mushi Shi was okay

Ok, bait post or not.
This one is really fucking true with shitty animu today


was poopoo


getout tankie


this, not same user

Yes. Commodity production was mistake, we need to destroy it asap.

So the same as almost every other form of media? Cool shit OP, thanks for the amazing insight there.

Are you just choosing to be willfully ignorant of the dozens upon dozens of western cartoons that owed their entire existence to selling toys and other merchandise? This isn't something remotely unique to anime.

Little weebie otaku butthurt that Satoshi Kon reamed your ass?

Cowboy Bebop has a self-described anti-capitalist character who shows up late in the show and briefly explains why the society is so fucked up, and the whole episode nobody pays attention to him because they're caught up bullshit heroic fantasy with a caricature of an American at the center. It's also just good in general and very good entry level anime for westerners.

Japanese cartoons are not an academic pursuit, you massive dweeb. You don't need to watch Naruto before you can enjoy Paranoia Agent.

No, it's just weird to most westerners and follows different conventions from western media that you have to get used to.

...

What episode?

22 Cowboy Funk

No, not really. Try reading some books instead of just watching Marvel movies all day.

Christ this board need chemo

Both are good but Bebop is actually the superior of the two. I definitely recommend watching it if you haven't already.

Well it's true for literally all of pop culture. Adorno was right.

1. Holla Forums since 2006, never been on reddit, ever.
2. the show is good
3. your little Holla Forumsack style "infograph" is unsurprisingly nothing but autism
in conclusion kys faggot

so you wouldn't eat a burger because it's not ideologically pure and you call yourself a socialist
ok, sure thing buddy

Just finished Samurai Champloo yesterday. I've watched the first episode of Bebop a few weeks ago but I'll start watching the rest of it now.

Source of that scene?

Kino's journey.

holy shit OP nice
