I don't care for this.

>Jaune literally spends an entire scene denying being bullied and doing and saying nothing through a montage of Cardin being an ass.
Him playing it off seems like more of a "won't admit to weaknesss" thing. He doesn't want to respond to the hazing, neither would he not tell CRDL off, if they asked him to do the things he did under the threat of blackmail.

>WhiteRose is stupid
Wdym? Their V1 dynamic is fire.
>the liberalism in her plotline is significantly worse than in the RNJR plot
I can't imagine how they would tie that in on a literal camping trip.
>When RNJR arrive at Shion village, Ren finds the hoofprint of the Nuck at the ruins of the town, implying that after Raven and her band left
So your assertion Raven made a conscious choice to let the region be destroyed, is based on the assumption that the Grimm, other raiders or even the inhabitants wouldn't be capable of leaving ruins? The gang's initial obliviousness to the Apathy implies a village overtaken by a wave of Grimm would definitely be left a ruin, without the need for any sort of outside intervention.
>Raven has her tribe and is clearly powerful enough to fight off anyone 1v1

And you're not the creator or writer or animator for RWBY, you are an anon on the internet. Either way, strawman non-argument.
>Him playing it off seems like more of a "won't admit to weaknesss" thing
You're splitting hairs.
>muh blackmail
Happened way after constant hazing and bullying, therefore irrelevant.
>Their V1 dynamic
Consists of bickering and reconciliation as Weiss has a character arc. That's not a ship, that's building friendship.
>I can't imagine how they would tie that in on a literal camping trip.
It's not that hard; throw in some feminist or racial idpol with various character interactions and you get typical liberal tripe writing. Which they didn't do.
>based on the assumption that the Grimm, other raiders or even the inhabitants wouldn't be capable of leaving ruins?
1) Don't be obtuse, Raven and her band are the ONLY bandits in the story and narratively that's who we are supposed to think of, it doesn't make sense for there to be another random bandit group that is never even shown to have done this.
2) Raven confirms it when Qrow talks about the remains of Shion village and how she has the Spring Maiden in her camp based on the destruction seen. Qrow is familiar with the maiden powers and knows their capabilities.
3) The huntsman that dies in front of RNJR also confirms it was bandits, followed by Grimm.

>That's not a ship, that's building friendship.
Ok mr. "dating isn't about friendship".
>throw in some feminist or racial idpol with various character interactions and you get typical liberal tripe writing.
You're livid. The menagerie plot never brings up le feminism, except maybe Blake lowkey antagonizing Sun, which is never framed in any serious way. It's a simple case of Play stupid fantasy racism games / Win stupid libshit prizes.

>The Academies were founded
That's the point. They're supposed to be Oz's vehicle to further his plot. We know at the start of the story he has 3 maidens, 4 academies + staff, the military might of all of Atlas and at least 1 federal agent. What else?
>THEY'RE ALREADY DECENTRALIZED
From the wiki:
>Some gifted Huntsmen, such as Maria Calavera, can acquire their licenses by taking a licensing exam, forgoing the need to attend the academies.
>In some rare cases, the Headmasters of the academies can grant individuals their licenses without the need for a proper graduation or taking the licensing exam, as was the case with James Ironwood who granted Teams RWBY and JNR their licenses after arriving in Atlas.
Academies are explicitely stated to be the site of a Mandarin-esque examination system. I don't see how that could go wrong…

You're shifting goalposts.
>You're livid
No, I'm annoyed because you're being a liberal while calling the writers liberal.
>The menagerie plot never brings up le feminism
I never said it did. You said you "couldn't imagine" how the writers could make the plot liberal for RNJR, I provided a broad example of how, we see that in later Volumes. Again, stop putting words in my figurative mouth.
>which is never framed in any serious way.
She literally slaps him around 3 times, and not playfully but angrily. That's only 'not serious' because the writers bend over backwards to have characters simp for Blake.
>They're supposed to be Oz's vehicle to further his plot. We know at the start of the story he has 3 maidens, 4 academies + staff, the military might of all of Atlas and at least 1 federal agent.
You're just ignoring everything I'm saying on the details, up to and including the fact that he does not, in fact "have 3 maidens 4 academies and staff and Atlas' military" Ironwood straight up defies him in bringing the Atlesian Fleet to Vale and then uses The Breach to have the Valean council remove him from security operations for Vytal Festival. The only 'control' he has is in the sense that the other Headmasters protect the Vaults. And he didn't have 3 maidens; he had 1 and then 1/2 a maiden in Amber and 1 in reserve status with the literal nursing home resident Fria. Ozpin had no idea what Penny was until the last moment when it was too late.
>Academies are explicitely stated to be the site of a Mandarin-esque examination system.
Explicitly stated where? This is mentioned nowhere. An exam for a license is fairly normal to be state regulated, since you have to pass regulations for ability to get the license.
>As of 80 years Vale and Atlas form a cushy imperial core
<Isolated city-states acting as fortresses against the Grimm

>Do you know what imperialism even is?
It is heavily implied Atlas and Vale both produce 21st century level tech (even though with the existence of dust you, could make the case they're technically at a lower stage of industrial development, like if steampunk was real). Despite most likely being a backwards peasant economy, Mistral still imports most of these products. I would honestly be surprised if there weren't imperial relations of productions. Also they have a literal Atlesian settler colony.

>Every successful feudal lord constantly expands and accumulates more and more resources and power
Yet ultimately the requirements for a landlord to "profit" from his manor were a lot looser than those of a modern family farm. Given Remnant, this is especially true for the amount of labor a capitalist farm or plantation would have to hire (recall the capitalist bias to minimize human labor). I'm asserting they wouldn't strictly need to profit, only "break even", before the land has been sufficiently developed.
>Cockshott also isn't talking about societies or groups that 'return'
Except he is explaining why it made for sense for former Roman territories to abolish their slave economy and limited commodity production in favour of manorialism. Historical necessity doesn't care for urban life or individual living standards. It conforms to the material conditions and how the currrent means of production may be most effectively employed.
>just warlordism
You're also ignoring the examples of semi-feudalism under despotic states. Both the Byzantine Empire and the later Ottoman Empire followed a despotic style of government, where the a significant part of the diet and wars were financed from the personal wealth of its rulers. At various points this necessitated the distribution of land as payment for their armies, and while Rome had had similar systems in place, they remained tied to the slave economy at the time. This is what i mean with material conditions: These states were advanced enough for manorialism to be productive, yet underdeveloped enough for family farms or commercial plantations to not be viable. This IS the case in Mistral; family farms get trounced by Grimm.

Restoring some Nagatoro pics ITT

Nagatoro was only good when she was actually abusive like in the web comics. The manga and anime are just generic romcom harem trash.

>>29888
I can give you Tonari no Idol-san if you want to read abuse
or "Ueno-kun Has Been Developed",but that's sexual bullying turn into relationship drama
the others I can think of all have a twist or are pure nonsense/yandere comedy.

Well, I know this isn't similar to anime music, but anyone knows the source of this jap ad canon choir music, somewhere between 0:25 until 0:41, when god descended upon them to grant them any wish? I've tried everything and still couldn't found it. Thanks, btw.

Midori / Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show [Shoujo Tsubaki: Chika Gentou Gekiga] (1992) Directed, story boarded, fully animated, and screenplayed by Hiroshi Harada.

Still waiting for anime adaptation.

Just reminded me of Love Hina
Fuckin hate that anime/manga. Not only is it harem its just cringe.

>>26645
>Not only is it harem its just cringe.
And Love Hina is touted as a classic…

>>26650
Classic shit
Reread a few chapters and its abysmal how bad it is.

>>26650
It IS a classic, in the sense that everything you don't like about harem anime, Love Hina is directly responsible for.

Post-Ryodan Arc 2011 = 1999 TV anime + Ryodan OVA >>> 2011 up to Greed Island.

This is the correct opinion.

>>15745
I'll admit the series has good music at least. File ver

I honestly think the way the fandom talks about HxH gives people unreasonable expectations which leads to undeserved backlash. It's not super deep or grimdark (even "deconstruction" is a stretch), it's just a weird creative story that plays by its own rules. Also both anime versions completely screw up the pacing (as is wont for shonen adaptations) and make it harder to get into, in contrast to the manga where the first few arcs are actually very breezy and fun (that said I agree with >>25530 esp in regards to the art).
Anyway it's fucking back motherfuckers.

>>25912
I love Hunter X Hunter (mainly up to the Chimera Ant arc), but the manga/anime industry is so stale, partially due to the absurd working conditions and burnout, that anything that expresses even a tiny bit of genuine creativity/depth gets elevated and praised far more than it honestly deserves. It's the same feel I get from something like Punpun, although unlike HxH I think Punpun is an irredeemable steaming pile of shit.

>>29347
Thanks you got it

It’s just a butchered and japanwashed Journey to the West, it has the exact same powercreep as Chinese fiction

>>29367
Holy shit it’s like the show was based of a legend of a monkey with a staff. Almost like the name “son Goku” of an alien creature wielding a staff that changes shape based on his will and also transforms into a giant primate may have been influenced by something that actually exists in human mythology

I always forget this spinoff exists. It is rabidly anti-communist but not terrible, and I'm sure it was written before Hellsing was even a thing with all the weird name changes, faces for some characters being drastically different

Hellsing Abridged turned out to be pretty good.

TOOOOOOOO KI WAAAA

I don't understand why people love Berserk so much. Its kind of mid. Just a worse Devilman that gets so boring after the bit with the Inquisitor who's veins all pop out when he gets angry. Also no ending.
