Absolutely wonderful film. It's too bad the animated remake that the original creators were planning never got off the ground. I actually spoke to one of them and he was telling me about how they had basically written and story-boarded it all out, but it got the plug pulled on it because of funding and lack of popular interest.

To be honest, Porco and Mononoke are closer to what his movies are actually about than people on the internet really seem to realize.

Miyazaki has kind of become the Wes Anderson of anime - his style has been meme'd and caricatured by people who haven't really engaged his work and probably haven't even seen much of his stuff. Most people act like all of his movies are just wholesome, comfy slice of life - when really, only Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service are really consistenty like that.

Miyazaki's movies certainly have a pastoral vibe and have extended "cozy" sequences, but everyone forgets that those scenes are often followed by imagery of either mass destruction and violence or weird, fucked-up organic corruption. Everyone acts like Totoro is emblematic of the man's filmography, while forgetting that this is the same guy who made Porco Rosso, Castle in the Sky, Nausicaa, The Boy and the Heron and Princess Mononoke, all works that have either heavy themes, extended sequences of apocalyptic or unsettling imagery - hell, we're talking about the guy who got his start directing Lupin the Third

Miyazaki ain't no wholesome director. There's a real darkness in his work that the internet keeps whitewashing thanks to cinematically illiterate hipster-weebs

The powerful animation-art generative capability of the current AI/ML tech potentially could ease greatly the burden of tedious work, that's been almost since the beginnings of "modern anime" chronic the issue, in the production of anime if implemented well, and open up the opportunity to create works to normal people who don't have the big funds from sponsors. Have there been any cases of use in the industry yet of such generative technologies at significant level in automation-work and workflows that people might know of? This doesn't seem to be much of the over-expectation from the what the current models are capable of, since the work on the key elements would still likely be done manually while the work that is repetitive would be done by the new, improved computer aided tools.

Not yet, but AI animation work is developing rapidly, and computer programs today permit for a lot of semi-automatic animation for (relative) simplistic stuff like walk animations.

Nietzsche was heavily inspired by Wagner who at one point was an anarchist who worked together with Bakunin. This had a profound influence on Nietzsche's political writing. When he talks of the free spirits, the followers of his philosophy enacting great influence and steering society, they don't do this by the rule of law. Nietzsche despised the rule of the state and saw it as a secular religion. Leaders in Nietzche's view were writers and artists influcing society through civil society. This is in line with Wagner's anarchist and may even be traced back to Bakunin's idea of the "invisible dictatorship", were a small group may inspire and steer the revolution through education and rhethoric rather than an offical position of power enforced by the monopoly of violence

 No.23992

>>1823215
Wagner was very expliclity an anarchist early on in his life and in his very early writing. He expliclity planned an uprising with Baknunin until it failed and he got banished. I wouldn't suggest Nietzsche is an anarchist per se, he obviously spoke negatively of them (although this was due to their tendency at the time to use enlightment secular religion schools of thought, this changed when Nietzsche got incorperated into the tradition. This is the same story as Stirner). I am however saying Nietzschian anarchism is possible, and the link is not as strange as it may appear with a superficial understanding of the "hierachy" in Nietzsche's work

 No.23993

>>23992
yes
but i think this has to do with the open signifier of what an anarchist (anti)politics can represent in itself. everyone is an anarchist in most things already.
in the end, in "antichrist" nietzsche seems to wish for a further impersonalising of the will by placing his faith in science, for the quality of post-humanity, which i also think is his cynicism; of the project of the ubermensch itself.
i think for example, a pagan hero like achilles was simply born as a higher type, the same way in the iliad the gods are called a "race" unto themselves. the act of willing ourselves to be greater can work, but only relative to our mere humanity.
i think being human is good enough in any case.
But i will def look more into wagners anarchism.

>Several things mark out the Toyoko Kids as being different to the homeless people who have historically occupied the area. For one, they’re much younger. And secondly, contrary to popular belief, they’re not all homeless — while some are, others who are from Tokyo, Chiba or Saitama prefectures go back home after staying in the area for a long time to escape their home environment.
>
>Then there is the fashion: For girls, there is the “dark kawaii” aesthetic of frilly blouses and short skirts or oversized hoodies with anime-style makeup, and for boys an emo-influenced look of black, baggy clothes with dangling chains. The overall style has been dubbed “jirai-kei” (literally “landmine type”).
>
>Toyoko Kids have also become influencers and fashion icons on TikTok, X and other social media platforms, further drawing neglected youths to the area — for example, those being abused at home or bullied at school. Hierarchies partially linked to social media clout exist within the community, with individuals given titles like “God,” “King” and “Empress” depending on their popularity and influence in the area.
Wait, that's where jirai-kei allegedly (hadn't bothered to research yet) comes from???
Also:
>“Someone will offer them a place to stay, with one person booking a single bedroom[…] and smuggling around six people in one room,[…]But[…], they would eventually have to pay for their share too and so they have to go ‘work’ — as in street prostitution.”
Yooo what the fuck? And society is okay with this?!?
That's like the-real-shit sort of lumpenproletarian activity, not merely delinquent/sukeban behavior, which is much more petty with its orientation and is fairly tempered in the actual level of "criminal" activity involved.

The Soviets are depicted sympathetic and more human with some typical stereotypes while the Nazis are generally more generally cartoonish villains, including the elf bitch. One of the main characters is a Jewish atheist, I'm not the one who thinks the creator is some hardened leftist, it's usually hard to tell, but I wouldn't call this "rightoid shittery".
This case of puritanism is interesting because you don't really see it in the opposite case. In Hellsing the Nazis are depicted as literal psychotic vampires but that never stops rightoids from adopting it
