The batman thing is funny because writers kind of noticed this criticism so they decided to make him a super entrepreneur who donates all his money all the time and yet his money donations just cannot stop crime.
Which in a way just enforces the reactionary ideology by making the crime rate of Gotham less of a system thing and more of a people thing. Now there even is a “counter culture” group of lib comic fans who get annoyed when you say anything about superhero politics that in anyways criticise them, they for example point to batman donating his money as an argument that he isn’t a fashoid.

>>22871
He's even worse of Batman. He straight up says he was planning to kill people who don't contribute enough to society. Big words coming from a pig.

>>22880
i still think it's a little silly to call batman a fascist, just because superhero politics is just neither something that can exist in real life or important in any way, and it's not even consistent within the bounds of a single superhero (see superman). that being said, i think he's still more of a lib superhero, most of the works he is in feature him favoring a rehabilitative approach to crime and le donating to the poor, acting as a good soul within the framework of gotham, an evil and corrupt shithole exemplifying eternal 19xx america. i like batman and i think he's pretty cool

I agree, but that's up to the mods
>Genndy Tartakovsky
Well somewhat, his style definitely had some anime elements about them, but were stylized in a personal way that made it clear it had various inspirations. Moreover other shows running parallel to it, like Fairly Odd Parents, Danny Phantom, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, etc. were all quite non-anime.
>those shows straight-up copy anime
Well they copy the art-style, but I wouldn't say they're copies of anime itself.
>I really don't know how they are different in terms of genre
A show like XJ-9 is clearly like some anime plots, a Slice of Life with some supernatural/sci-fi thrown in. But other stories like Avatar, while having art styles and some gags shared with anime, had stories that clearly did not fit the styles of most anime. Western cartoons have practically never had something like Naruto or One Piece or Bleach, which belong to the Shonen genre that doesn't quite have an equivalent in the West. There may be a few esoteric stories and series, but not a lot. The closest thing to Berserk in Western animation I can think of (for example) would be Todd McFarlane's Spawn, which even today is very niche.
>Maybe in terms of cliches, acting and writing conventions?
This too. A lot of those are different in anime because of how different socio-cultural norms are in Japan and other Far-East-Asian cultures. Itachi's and Danzo's actions in Naruto are something that reflect societal problems in that culture that Kishimoto portrayed in the story. Many Western viewers didn't understand because of how wide the cultural difference was and had all sorts of negative reactions and misunderstandings, as reflected in a lot of fanfiction.
>sometimes I'd prefered they didn't exist at all, if you aren't funny then maybe you shouldn't even try
Fair enough, and agreed.

>his style definitely had some anime elements about them, but were stylized in a personal way that made it clear it had various inspirations
Inspirition is not the same as pastiche, Motorcity and TRON: Uprising both clearly have anime influences. That doesn't mean that they should look exactly like anime to borrow elements from it the same way One Piece doesn't have to look exactly like Western cartoons. The inspiration is still there compared to comic books and the fact that their art style is still distinctly Western doesn't change that.
>Moreover other shows running parallel to it, like Fairly Odd Parents, Danny Phantom, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, etc. were all quite non-anime
Didn't say all cartoons are anime-influenced, it's all mostly action cartoons except for… uh… Hi-Hi Puffy AmiYumi? And some parody shows (Dexter, The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Gravity Falls, Gumball, Regular Show). Also, the Invader Zim movie has an animu sequence. Also MLaaTR and FiM probably but don't quote me on that.
>Well they copy the art-style, but I wouldn't say they're copies of anime itself
I meant that they copy both the art style and the cliches, trying to be anime instead of incorporating what the authors like about anime into the Western style.
>Shonen genre
Shonen is anime for teenage boys, not a genre. You're talking about battle shonen which is roughly equivalent to action kids' cartoons but with a more lax censorship, although DBZ's power scaling is a distinctly battle shonen thing (although Ben 10 came very close to it, basically becoming a god in Omniverse).
>A lot of those are different in anime because of how different socio-cultural norms are in Japan
The acting is the way it is not due to socio-cultural norms but due to the influences of the kabuki theater.

>>23805 (me)
I said the thread was off-topic but now it ironically went back into being on-topic through derailing. Maybe we should have a thread here about anime influences in cartoons.

I saw a lot of people talking about this again on social media for some reason

>>23806
>Maybe we should have a thread here about anime influences in cartoons.
Maybe, give it a shot lad, I'm sure there's a lot of interplay. Could also include the influence of Japan and the USSR on one another too.

Outside the USSR maybe. In the USSR the roles of women as fighters and heroes of the war was never under question.

this thread is quintessentially american because female authors are simply such a big part of otaku culture lol

Watched the rest finally and wow that was fucking trash. TL;DR: The majority of the 2015 storyline feels like a teen drama from the CW with a pinch of Stranger Things science-fantasy mystery. The 1950s plot on the other hand feels natural, like it could make for an interesting period-piece type story, similar to Kong: Skull Island, however we barely see very much.

By Episode 9 I took to fast-forwarding through the portions with the whiny, bipolar, retarded kid trio. Everything they are, do or say makes me wish Godzilla stomped on them. Kentaro is a fucking indecisive wuss, his half-sister is a toxic cunt, the Ex-girlfriend is a childish ass. This utterly unlikeable behavior from all 3 of them isn't initially obvious but becomes more and more apparent the further the story continues.

Seriously, the black chick who was Kentaro's girlfriend proceeds to cuck him with his half-sister… like fucking what?! This is literally a rehash of Legend of Korra's MaKorra ship being shoddily shifted into KorrAsami, down to the two of them going into the portal to another 'world' like the end of LoK and the Black chick's real name being Corah; that cannot be a coincidence. Funniest part is that the defense for their awful writing and characterization is the exact same deflection that Bumbleby and KorrAsami shippers used a few years ago to justify their toxic tastelessness; "LOL if you don't like my terribly forced gay ship, that means you're just a miserable person"

The only good humans of the show is Colonel Shaw (played jointly by Kurt Russell and his son, Wyatt), Keiko (the dedicatedly studious and beautiful Mari Yamamoto) and Bill Randa (Anders Holm portraying the younger version of the character John Goodman played). They should have been the main characters, their story, acting and setting is much more compelling. I hope Ms. Yamamoto gets many more roles because by god she fucking carries the female side of the main cast. The French woman who changed sides to help Colonel Shaw was also ok, she reminded me of Monique Dupre and she did have decent motivation and acted consistently and like an actual strong woman and not a hysterical teen pretending to be one. The only other good part was the special effects which were quite good for a TV-Show and the kaiju fights/appearances, which weren't long but were effective. I particularlPost too long.

And while I'm on a roll, I'd like to point out that Kong Skull Island is far superior to Legacy of Monsters as a story, even if its not great. Annie is a badass in the show, but considering she grew up on The Skull Island archipelago, it makes sense. The leading boys aren't weak but they are realistically portrayed as not some Bruce-Willis type bad-asses, city boys like them have no reason to not be panicking at a giant murderous animal, or being clumsy in an unfamiliar jungle. There's plenty of action and the final fight that Kong has with the Kraken is cool. I thought it was alright and the animation was pretty good. The animation is smooth, the Kraken and other creature's are cleanly designed yet still intricate and it doesn't waste time. The other characters were pretty good, but for me Annie was the best, blows the teen-trio from Legacy of Monsters right out of the water.

>"What I want modern day Gundam fans to understand is that Gundam wasn't nurtured by the PlaModel enthusiasts. It was young women who first came to the after recording studio, and Gundam is a work that began with their support. And it was a work that had no connection to the popularity of Gundam PlaModels. So I think the most important thing is creating a work that will attract those kind of girls to it again. I don't think movies as an entertainment industry can succeed without touching on that kind of fundamental portion."
>“The very first fans of the original Gundam were young women. Definitely not the PlaModel enthusiasts. With both Gundam and Raideen, of the first fans to be active, 90% were girls. Among a gathering of 1000 fans, about 100 were boys. Around when the first cour ended, young women began to gather to the after recording studio. It took until much later for male fans make an uproar, around the time series got canceled. I thought: You’re late to the party!”
>"When the movies were screening, we had many male fans who got into Gundam via Gunpla come to see it. Meanwhile, the girls who had been fans since the TV series aired got together to create their own world via fanzines. The fans, never interacting with each other, existed on separate planes."
Women hold up half the sky as usual.

post big bot depression here

Recently watched the most recent GxK: New Empire, I thought it was pretty fun and while it had cheese, actually tried to have a story and compelling characters. Definitely a fun one and the story didn't go as I expected it to other than in general terms. The Mothra reveal was a bit surprising too (though the clues are more obvious after seeing it).
