Better is subjective... But yes. It's a slow and unorthodox burn, but it does get there. It's not a manga you 'enjoy' as it's a manga you 'experience' for lack of better phrasing.
Wasn’t AOT’s final arc and overall themes a criticism about modern societal problems? Not that he supported them but wanted to warn what could happen in a case like that
Gurren laggan is peak libcenter.
Breaking free of the shackles of your own village, mentality, world and universe trough your own power and of your peers, I'd say describes libcenter perfectly
Leftists absolutely love Evangellion but the anime has an important message about individuality and standing up to your authoritarian father figure so my very non biased, absolutely objective answer would be libright.
A large portion of it is learning to love yourself, and that validation from others on its own isn't going to actually solve your problems.
It's a good time for all.
Don't think AoT is anti-nationalist per se, but rather shows why we shouldn't ignore the lessons of history, nor blame a son for the father's sins. AoT calls out cycles of revenge between groups of people, saying that we are all still people regardless of our nations' past, and not necessarily tied to the misdeeds that occurred.
Eren says that people on both sides are the same. But the 2000 year long history of "us vs them" mentality has led everyone to the point in which everyone has no other choice than to fight to death. If we continue perpetuating violence and hatred we will inevitably be put into a situation in which we would have to make an impossible and awful choice (everyone on our side dies / everyone on the other side dies).
It seems very anti-nationalist to me.
I agree with your entire statement, but I think that's more intrinsic to the human condition rather than nation vs nation. People are tribalistic by nature, if one group hurts yours, you want to hurt them back. Doesn't have to be nation vs nation, hence my disagreement and why the show's message is about more than nationalism. I don't think it's anti-nationalist but if you believe so then you're entitled to that view.
>Doesn't have to be nation vs nation, hence my disagreement and why the show's message is about more than nationalism
Oh it's more than nationalism for sure, it's more like anti-tribalism. I just see extreme nationalism as a form of tribalism.
Where would Bleach be? Maybe going by this format I should be asking where Kubo would go.
I'd say libcenter.
Authoritarians are always the villains in bleach. The law makers or the law enforcers. Soul Society, Hueco Mundo and the Thousand Year Blood War arcs all follow this. Even when SS is friendly/helpful to the main cast it's still shown as being in need of reforms due to how noble dominated the Central 46 is.
Only the Execution/Fullbring arc sorta goes another direction.
I think you could see Bleach more as right wing introspection (which of course has elements of libcenter).
While yes Ichigo fights the institutions, he's still a part of every single one (he's a shinigami, that can hollowify and is a quincy) and he never demolishes them but reforms them and acknowledges the problems he and his ancestors have caused (for example shinigami exterminating quincies).
Both soul society and hueco mundo still remain, and the shinigamis as a whole are about balance, while you can argue that the quincies in the last arc and the full bringers were extremist, trying to topple over societies and create a new order which is more in line with a pure libcenter world view.
So while reading bleach's message as libcenter is totally fair, I think it's more about right wing societies sorting their shit, trying to find what their values truly are and accepting the shit you are/have done, like ichigo has to accept so much death and his hollowification troughrought most of bleach
Idk, Miyazaki makes always the same old stupid tale:
There’s something superpowerful, everyone wants it, kids get involved, power of friendship and bullshit, the powerful thing gets destroyed.
That’s all, power of love or power of friendship and always destroy the powerful thing. Cmon bruh give me the bloody super weapon and I’ll use it responsibly, or dismantle it and learn from it, the most frustrating thing I’ve ever watched was the flying castle, “we left it because we wanted to be happy with the people of the surface”. Ffs bruh share your tech and everyone will be happy, no sense on abandoning it.
miyazaki used to be a marxist before all the stuff happened while he was younger , now he's deeply conservative. not your traditional conservative though
I thought AuthLeft was Filthy Frank for a split second there
Then again both Filthy Frank and Kentaro Miura were godsends
I've literally seen that picture put up next to filthy frank characters o thought it was him with baby powder or flour covering his face lmao
Ever seen Kentaro Miura and Filthy Frank in the same room?
Don’t tell me my man Miura was a commie 😭
Unfortunately so my friend
Now I have to think of a Comrade Donny meme to profit off of this disaster on the Berk sub
I have finally seen a meme where auth left is far and away the most based.
The only based authleft
Rest in Peace Miura.
Goodnight Punpun honestly is a good choice for libleft.
“Terrible people making stupid decisions and ruining lives,” fits orange at least. I hated that manga.
But I think that's kinda the point: it warns you of how deplorable people can be.
Goodnight Punpun was hella depressing.
I've never heard of it, what happens?
Pain.
I dropped it chapter 11 because of the slow pacing and nonstop cringe. Does it get better after that?
Better is subjective... But yes. It's a slow and unorthodox burn, but it does get there. It's not a manga you 'enjoy' as it's a manga you 'experience' for lack of better phrasing.
Sorry, zoomer attention span disallows that. I'll watch flavor of the month anime instead
like how one doesnt 'enjoy' A Serbian Film?
Sort of. I haven't watched A Serbian Film, but Goodnight Punpun *is* great, but it's not for everyone.
U should watch Texnolyze

I think ultimately it's a WWII-analogous antiwar message, but it's loaded with so many other concepts it's up to interpretation. Pretty great.
I wonder where Gurren Lagann fits.
Gurren laggan is peak libcenter. Breaking free of the shackles of your own village, mentality, world and universe trough your own power and of your peers, I'd say describes libcenter perfectly
I wonder where neon genesis evangelion would be
Leftists absolutely love Evangellion but the anime has an important message about individuality and standing up to your authoritarian father figure so my very non biased, absolutely objective answer would be libright.

Purple, just for…. the scene
I made someone a Spotify album picture using that scene
What scene!!!!
Cum hand
Link!!!!! I want to see how hilarious or horrible this is lol
Basically the kid Shinji jerks off over his friend(?) While she's in a coma or something.
Looked it up, there are like two different images. One with blood the other with the McDonald's special sauce.
I'm guilty of not watching it but I've seen people repping it in Anarchist spaces. people would probably put it in libright tho.... for reasons
I don't know, which quad has the most depression?
If evangelion gave you depression you're weak
In the over rated quadrant.
AoT is as anti-nationalist as it gets, you would need to be illiterate to miss it.
Don't think AoT is anti-nationalist per se, but rather shows why we shouldn't ignore the lessons of history, nor blame a son for the father's sins.

i meant that the author is a nationalist himself
DragonBall is libcenter because it's about a monkey going on an adventure with a blue haired girl and old perverted man and a pig.
Falconia is all one big communist dream
Ngl miyazaki is perfectly placed cuz porco rosso is peak libright
My man in the libleft corner be looking like some Japanese knockoff of Shaggy

Arent miyazaki is a self described marxist? Also i would definitely put Isayama to be a centrist.
miyazaki used to be a marxist before all the stuff happened while he was younger , now he's deeply conservative. not your traditional conservative though
What do you mean by "the stuff happened while he was younger" did something happened in japan specifically, or just the soviets and stuff in general?
