Is it just me, or does anime, even when aimed at adults, delve a lot less than other artistic mediums (even Western cartoons, much less live-action Western television) into social or political commentary? Hoping less for a political debate and more for why anime, even compared to other forms of entertainment, tends to avoid engaging with real-world issues even in a fictional context.
Pictured are two exceptions to the rule (one with a broadly left-wing message and one with a broadly right-wing message), feel free to agree or disagree with my interpretation.

It is just you. Most popular anime films in the world are all environmentalist propaganda.
Because not everything has to be about the real world with random authors/directors aiming to preach their stances to you under an "entertaining" veil. That's just bullshit. If you can't understand this then don't bother with anime.

politics in japan is a largely uninteresting affair as it's basically a one party system.
Whats more interesting in cultural circles is work, literature/media, social issues and different hobbies. when you have a largely homogenious population the politics gets very dull. imagine if all of america was white suburbanites from georgia, you'd have very little in actual political debate as most people would believe pretty much the same thing. it's sorta like that in japan.
MUH DICK!
But seriously, Jun is probably gonna just run away again. Hoping for some development somewhere. It seems like Misuzu is gonna win the Tomo-bowl at this rate.

I'm okay with it. Jun is a literal faggot.
What does Carol mean in the bottom panel? What are they both disappointed about?
What if the Jojo anime looked exactly like the OPs being in CG? Would you like it the same way?
>>142252861
Nah, an entirely CG JoJo, though it may be able to avoid being off-model, would take far too long to create on a consistent basis. All the environments, characters, effects, and poses would require tons of work, work that couldn't possibly match the intros.
>>142252861
framerate would be shit, you'd be better off just animating the manga panels instead

So I just watched Conqueror of Shamballa. The show was freaking amazing, I was hooked from start to finish especially as its my first anime But the ending twist regarding the Gate was freaking retarded.
Then the movie was even dumber.I mean, at the end, the Ed decides that since he's on Earth for good he needs to fight its wars. And it's about to be WWII. And he lives in Germany. Does this whole freaking amazing story of two brothers trying to survive and make up for their mistake end with them dying in Russia after Hitler went full idiot?
Please tell me Brotherhood is better. Since it's the true story I can only hope the ending isn't retarded.
There's no alternate reality bullshit in Brotherhood, at least.
Never watched the movie and never will. No point in wasting time on filler.
>>142252261
This is good to hear. I haven't really looked up the differences between 2003 and Brotherhood for fear of spoilers but that was my biggest concern.
>>142252293
Don't. Ed in the real world is as retarded as it sounds.
I want Illya to sit on my face!

Would you watch an anime taking place in 40k universe? Would that even work?
I have no idea what that is, I watch anime and read manga as my primary hobbies and don't hang out with /tg/ or /v/
>>142250130
Yes
No
>>142250130
You bet your ass I would, yeah it most likely won't work but I'll enjoy it nonetheless
Was Non Non Biyori not popular enough for a third season?
>>142249892
>meme healing
>>142249892
It is popular enough, but there aren't enough chapters left to make a third season since it is a monthly and Silver Link adapted almost everything except a few chapters and the rest of the Okinawa trip.inb4 someone suggests an anime original only season
>>142249976
>Meme healing
>Not Meme Girls
It's popular, but there is not enough manga material for it. In fact the only way they could get s2 off the ground to begin with were several anime original eps to pad out what's available.
