Anime & Manga General Anime/Manga Discussion

The core message of the Rebuild films seems to have been "stop watching anime, and go do something that actually contributes to society"; which speaks to a fundamental disconnect between Hideki Anno and the younger generations that have been stretched so thin by Japanese society, that they need some form of escapism to cope (which he apparently wants them to abandon, so that they can be stretched even further).

Ah, yes, when you stick some classic nuWave scifi in a blender along with your gundam collection and your concept art for Nauscaa, then throw in your suicidal depression an daddy issues.
Classic Evangelion.

Then you make rebuild, which is "muh creatives" style circle jerking self-aggrandizement.

TBH I don't think crunch work and shitty life conditions weren't a thing when the OG Evangelion was made, it is so non-standard because everything was falling apart during its production, with it being used as a tax writeoff and the company execs wanting it to fail.

All this was happening right after the massive Crash that started the Japanese lost decade.Which is stretching out to become the lost half Century.

Anno has the same problem that all one shot wonder creators have, think Martin and Lukas and Strizinski.

They make something that creates a huge splash, but they can never, ever match it and it was more gardener working with interference than architect.

The man is pretty much your quintessential, self-absorbed "auteur" creator; who simultaneously feels a desperate need to create, yet also a deep loathing for the things he creates and the people who enjoy them, and thinks he knows best as to how everyone else should live their lives.

Yup, Japanese J. R. R. Martin, right there.

I think his problem is that he got big by mistake.

Here,good finished manga ,where every chapter is parody of some movie,usually horror.Well,there is technically some plot,but it exist as pretext to made parodies.

I like Studio Ghibli but I'm relatively new to anime and manga, what would you proscribe a Satanist/Christian-friendly Anarchist as far as anime/manga go?

Agent had some good ones.
I recommend both Fullmetal Alchemist series.

I picked mine because they are decent and have some religious undertones/demon presence, and hot nuns in some cases.



@IndyFront

Trigun also had some religious themes.
For a cool oldschool anime that is quite visually appealing you can checkout Vampire Hunter D, Sol Bianca, Bubblegum Crisis, M.D. Geist.

Ah My Goddess is good, too, and it has some religious udnertones, with the hot choco drunkard goddess being the daughter of the devil, who looks like a loli.

Since we had another discussion about Eva you can check out RahXephon, which is the more consistent, better looking alternative of that anime.

And one of my all time favorites.

I hear good stuff about the Blame adaptation.

TO be honest I always found FMA kinda meh.

You can also check out Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii? since the MC there is an "evil" (more like mega-nerd) Archmage that buys the cute elf sacrifice a recently deceased Archmage owned, and there is lots of cute shenanigans and romance and them being in a fight with the church.


If you want wholesome there is If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord - Wikipedia
In this case the MC finds an abandoned little devil/demon girl in the forest, saves her and raises her as his own.
Caution, though, there are furry bits in it!


And if you want cute girls driving tanks there is Girls und Panzer - Wikipedia

You also have this Isekai Villainess Level 99 - Wikipedia where the MC is descended from the Demonlord kinda sorta a baddy in the original story but changes the flow to make herself get a happy ending.

Spice and Wolf IIRC has the main character, who is basically a wolf fertility goddess, get chased down by the church IIRC.

Speaking of which, there is also Maoyū Maō Yūsha where the female demonlord is like, hey, wanna marry me instead, then we can use my advanced knowledge and skills to make everyone's lives better.

The last 2 are very heavily into economics.


Oh, and The Devil is a Part-Timer, which is quite funny, and has the other world's church as an antagonist.



Speaking of which, Nyaruko-chan is an anime that turns the Lovecraft bestiary/cosmology into cute anime waifus and IIRC one gay trap.

It was pretty funny and we were all hoping for a second season, but then the VA for Chthulhu died.

I chose Fullmetal because it does have religious undertones heavily.

I also recommend D Gray Man, heavy religious tons, and inrecommend watching the anime and then reading the manga
