god I'm not going to have some few hours long argument about some shitty anime
Then you are in the wrong thread.
but that's how fascism introduces itself, as your friend
No. You don't get to say "I only saw the first episode but I can tell you it's Hitler" and then come back with "Hitler was pretty good in his first season".
from the second season onward the show grows in fascist logic and apologia concluding with the final arc that literally is trying to make a race war the only solution
The second season is mostly filler. Lots of long run combats and Top 10 Anime Betrayals. Relatively thin on politics, outside the triumphalism of the expansionists over the aristocrats.
By the third season, you're into the island civil war and the collapse of the monarchists.
Season 4 is the real fascist turn, and by then everyone hates Eren and is fighting to stop him.
the author also said the axis should have won ww2 so like
Care to link that?
Which is to say, the straightest possible portrayal of the fascist world view.
I had a completely different reading, even before the end of the first season.
The Titans were a kind of environmental threat, but they were held back by the walls of the city. Humanity's chronic impulse to expand beyond the borders brought the wrath of the Titans into the city. And their chronic need to expand was driven by the aristocratic government, which exploited and abused and cannibalized it's own people by way of the state police force.
Titans were only a problem because the people within the city could not coexist peacefully. And as these people grew strong enough to face the Titans, what they discovered was only more war and more betrayal and more destruction.
The promise of an exploitable frontier was an illusion, because they would never be satisfied no matter how much they consumed.
Not unlike the Titans themselves.
Had the opportunity to throw some time at the FF7 Rebirth on my friend's PS5. I'll have to wait until June before I can expect to see it on PC, but its been a lot of fun to date. Eager to see more of it.
Meanwhile, Unicorn Overlord on the Switch has been a great travel game.
Swiggly lines are natural. They come from the Earth.
Oh man! Havana Syndrome is back and its in Pog form!
So excited to see where we go with this.
We did the Meiji Shrine the next day.
I liked them both. Do agree its bullshit to charge, but 500 yen ($3) isn't outrageous.
If I told you I had a 300 bod, would you hold it against me?
Carrying the cross was supposed to be a form of torture, as you'd be whipped and tormented any time you fell.
So less "strong" and more "terrified" and "in significant pain"
Can be streamers
No. No. No. No. No.
Holy shit. They turned Dogcatcher Inutaro into an actual anime.
