| What anime do you consider to be offensive? And don't give me the "nothing offends me" crap. I pick Dragon Ball because of blatant racism (Mr. Popo is probably the most racist cartoon of all time). |
| Terra Formars The cockroaches look like black people, almost fascist level of pro-Japanese propaganda, the Chinese characters are killed pretty much as soon as they are introduced. Oh and don't get me started on the manga lol. |

| Nekojiru gekijou jirujiru original for me. Racism, or maybe I should say slavery. Not that I got really "offended", but still... |
| Texhnolyze is pretty offensive due to how good it is |

| I haven't watched it yet but for me it's that show about Jesus. I don't remember the title but it's like oniisan or oniisama or something. I don't know what people are trying to accomplish when they did that show but uhhh... well. |

| Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad. However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up. Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here. |

| I know lot of people got offended by the racism in Mahouka and there's also Red:Keys special relationship with dokuro-chan that comes to mind. As for me personally probably Shigatsu wa Kimi Uso since it advocates abusing traumatized people with psychological issues and makes it seem like that actually helps them solely based on the fact that it's a cute girl doing the abuse. I was mildly offended that someone with no clue about psychological problems and their consequences or treatment gets probs for 'handling the topic well' in this cringe-fest of a show. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I would call Psycho Pass offensive for the way that it insults the viewer from the opening episode with a ridiculous premise that no right-minded individual would buy into for a second. I would, but a lot of people actually think that it's a real plausible future scenario, which in itself gives it legitimacy. It's an awkward situation. |

| Real talk: if you never actually watched Neon Genesis Evangelion all the way through, everything you know about it is wrong. Although for that matter, even the people who watched it all the way through are wrong about it. Let’s talk about the creator: Hideaki Anno, and why he’s happiest when you are angry. If you like Eva, Hideaki Anno hates you. That’s just how it is. If you can’t wrap your mind around this basic truth you are missing out on a lot of hysterical black irony. It’s hard to explain to people who haven’t grown up with anime in the 90’s (or at least, don’t make the effort to go back and watch a lot of older anime) just how revolutionary Evangelion was to the industry. There was an expectation—even from people within the studio—that it would be cancelled within the first ten episodes. They were given a hugely limited budget which they famously used up before the finale episodes. It was not only a psychological exploration of what it means to be depressed, but it was a blatant dress-down of mecha and harem anime—i.e. the shit the otaku cult fap to constantly. Psychological breakdowns and meta-commentary are so common in anime, nowadays, people don’t realize that it’s a trend Eva more or less pioneered, along with a bunch of other things. A large basis for Evangelion—of which Anno has openly owned—is kind of an intensely public therapy session. Anno was said to have a huge disenchantment with the otaku lifestyle, going so far as to say said lifestyle was akin to autism. He fell into a depression. That depression took form in Eva, and basically started tearing apart a lot of what was common at the time. For example, Eva basically deconstructs mecha and harem archetypes by asking “if fully developed human beings that acted like this existed in real life, and were forced to pilot giant robots, how would this play out?” We’re given a hypothetical scenario of how teenaged pilots would realistically react under the pressures of piloting a mecha at the stakes are SAVING THE WORLD. We’re given common archetypes—the tsundere, the cool onee-san, the kuudere—and have the show go out of its way to show that they’re not walking sex fantasies but actual three-dimensional women: human beings capable of living and operating without your penis to validate them. We’re also given the pressures of society that is placed upon people with depression, giving them little sympathy and instead berating them for not sucking it up. And then, you know, there was Kaworu, who showed up at the end of the series for one episode and gave the otaku fanbase a huge case of gay panic when Shinji was kind of on board to ride his baloney pony. With all the harem options available, it was kind of a sardonic twist of the knife to have Shinji go with the dude that shows up out of nowhere instead. The promotional pictures of Kaworu and Shinji hanging all over each other in pin-ups similar to Asuka, Rei and Misato just kind of shove that in their faces all the more. Hell, to show how much people still perceived Eva to be the passionate-shonen romp mecha anime usually they thought it was at the time: Eva was originally aired on a children’s time-slot. When people started to side-eye Anno about the show’s descent into ugly cynicism, he more or less responded saying children should be subjected to how much life sucks as early as possible. (The show was moved to a later and more adult timelot, regardless, but this is still funny) Basically, Anno was making a hugely sarcastic commentary to people that didn’t actually pick up on sarcasm very well, and as we all know—it backfired big time. It became a moebait titan. Your thoughts on the TV ending aside, what followed was a vicious backlash. The otaku fanbase lashed out at Anno with multiple death threats (some of which were later featured in the End of Eva movie). They missed the point on a lot of characters, but Rei was probably the one Anno was most furious about, as by trying to breakdown how a emotionally-dependent, submissive fuckdoll would be REALLY CREEPY and NOT OKAY, he only had her end up being an iconic cultural wet dream. So, Anno responds by creating the theatrical finale of the series, End of Evangelion, and it was just one giant “fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yooooooooooooooooooou” to the fanbase. The TV ending was a pretty positive, constructive resolution to Shinji’s plight, but given the backlash, Anno was basically OH, YOU WANT MORE EMOTIONAL TORTURE PORN? I WILL GIVE YOU THE EMOTIONAL TORTURE PORN and he delivers. If you watched EoE without actually watching the series, a lot of that context can go over your head. THAT scene with Shinji in the hospital room with Asuka? That was Anno basically pointing a finger at the otaku fans through the fourth wall and going THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE DOING, YOU’RE THIS FUCKED UP, YOU SICK FREAKS. The irony is a large portion of the fandom DIDN’T GET IT and instead praised that scene to show Shinji was “maturing” and “growing up.” Basically, End of Eva was one of the most beautifully animated middle-fingers ever to be conceived. Like, I have no doubt that a lot of the narrative resolutions in EoE were always planned, but I also suspect that EoE was made to be a lot angrier, and with a lot more spite, than was originally intended. Asuka’s last line, the famous “I feel sick” or “how disgusting” (depending on how you want to translate her line), could be interpreted as directed to the fanbase. And hell, in interviews after the movie he’s also on record as saying he did End of Eva to “bring the fans back to reality” and also compared fan commentary on his work to bathroom graffiti. He really hates you. And now the Rebuild movies, which seem to be a continuation more than a retelling. We’re introduced to a new character: Mari, who doesn’t seem to exist beyond providing panty shots and talking about how her breasts are too big, stealing the spotlight from Asuka, and sell a lot of figures. Anno was apparently on record as saying he put her in the movies to “destroy Eva.” She’s the moebait fantasy the otaku nerds clearly crave, and Anno is sarcastically giving it to them. And then 3.0 came out, which was a theatrical-length about Shinji’s big gay awakening with Kaworu, among other more emotionally torture porn trolling. It’s to the point where I’m kind of left delightfully pondering if the fourth Rebuild movie will have an obscenely positive resolution (along the lines of the TV series) or a spiteful miserable one (along the lines of the End of Eva movie). Knowing Anno’s track-record, he’ll go by whatever he thinks the fanbase will rage at the most, and it’s a really hard call because they’re both proven to give his fandom a collective aneurysm. Evangelion is a franchise that keeps being worked on and continued seemingly out of pure spite. It’s not even a secret. Anno is quoted everywhere as telling everyone that he hates his fans, that he wants to destroy his own franchise, that this is a thing that he is in fact doing. …and he seems to get even more furious when they keep making him a success instead. It’s really funny. All the more so is how tragic this irony is as he’s clearly invested in telling the story he wants to tell as artfully and skillfully as he can: his own commentary on the rise and pitfalls of human nature and what it means to grow as a person. It’s the ultimate bad romance between a creator and his fanbase and it’s tragic how many people miss out on how amazing this is. So, here you go, it is explained. This is brought to by the collected conversations between me and Muun as we laugh at Anno’s life. Enjoy. (Don’t get me wrong, though, Hideaki Anno is clearly a genius artist in his own right and there’s a reason Evangelion has the legacy that it does—it is an absurdly good series that still stands better than a lot of things that is coming out to this day. It is worth the watch and it is highly recommended. To put it into perspective, Puella Magi Madoka Magica would be the equivalent of today’s Evangelion. The same sort of deconstructed take-down of a genre to reach high critical acclaim and popularity, wildly influencing a new generation of anime fans…. and with the same sort of otaku back-firing.) |

That required all the suspension of disbelief I could muster to get over that and still manage to enjoy the show for what it's worth. |

It really does reinforce a bad message of that you will be rewarded for being serial abuser towards women. lol, god forbids a female gets some character development or displays some depth in naruto-verse :P But then again, lack of a strong female lead was a staple in battle shounen. |

icirate said: xbobx said: NGE COPYPASTA Thanks for dishing that pasta up. That sums up pretty much everything I love about NGE/EoE. There's nothing more fun to watch than subtle and expertly crafted satire. I heard the author of that, when found out his work became another eva/hate copypasta, removed it from his tumblr and committed suicide. Not sure if true, tho. This one is also pretty funny: CLANNAD. First episode impressions: It stinks. It stinks of harem. It stinks of harem and it stinks of Key and horrible plot devices, and I don't like it.Everything from the main character and his comedic relief sidekick to the superpowered Tomoyo and even the powerpointish scene transitions stinks of generic harem game conversion #1165346, and I fail to see what makes this so absurdly good.Granted, it IS pretty funny at times, but plenty of shows are funny and this is not especially so. It's also nicely animated. So far (one episode rolololol) the characters are only impressive in their genericness. "I have a weak body" for no reason at all, "I have dad who's an alcoholic and I hate everything but suddenly I'm helping Cute Girl with Weak Body #93452 for no particular reason", "Hi I'm the comedy relief sidekick character and have no purpose in the show at all except to be dumb", "I'm the MILF and this is my husband who seems really threatening", "I'm the superpowered cool girl that has NO loving REASON AT ALL to fall for the main character but I'll do that anyway because the director said so lolz". Then there's Key trademark: the absurd flashbacks and "mysterious" miracle plot devices that never seem to lead anywhere at all. Empty world? Wishes that come true? THAT SOUNDS LIKE KEY ALRIGHT. Let's see how absurd the explanations will be this time and how they'll be used to advance the show. It'll be fun to write about, I'm sure. tl;dr: it smells like harem, it looks like harem and it tastes like harem. Heck, it most likely IS harem but cleverly disguised as a drama about "families", with some elements of "magic" tossed in to make shutin nerds dream. Do not want but will watch anyway for the comedic relief scenes and to troll people. NEXT EPISODE: even more girls, even more hair colors! EXCITEMENT! |

Aeonic said: There's need to be some level of consent from the population, whether that's manufactured or shown in free and fair elections. These are just one of the problems of the series, the execution of the Sybil and contradictions that come out later becoming the biggest. The biggest slap in the face to me was that we're thrown into this established world where sybil has apparently been accepted for quite some time even though the flaws it possesses are both readily obvious and for the most part easily fixable. Simple things like not having to point what looks like a lethal weapon at civilians in order to process their crime coefficient, distinguishing between premeditated criminal behaviour and a victim's adrenalin-fueled mental anguish, not having latent criminals as enforcers, not throwing fresh recruits into missions without training, allowing police to use less lethal options on their guns when they deem necessary. Almost all of those things I just mentioned would be relatively straightforward to implement. Not only that, but implementing almost any of those things would have prevented the near-death of the victim in the first episode from ever happening. And don't tell me that the police in this show have trouble recruiting new members. It's a dystopian future with high levels of automation. Anyone with knowledge of automation knows that employers will never have trouble recruiting enough employees of almost any kind in the future. |

Humlon said: What anime do you consider to be offensive? And don't give me the "nothing offends me" crap. I pick Dragon Ball because of blatant racism (Mr. Popo is probably the most racist cartoon of all time). Really? What the hell? That goes with personality. Plain and simply. Among the stuff I watched in anime, I haven't got to the point of feeling offended yet. Maybe I am more difficult to offend, maybe I just don't overthink stuff or maybe I'm just too naive to imagine an evil intention behind mishandled topics. The closest so far has been Momotaro's divine sea warriors, which like almost any other war propaganda movie is a catalyst for questionable and repulsive morals, and even in that case, I found that stuff more laughable and stupid than actually offensive. There are some instances that got me in live action movies, though. So far, no anime has reached this limit. I can't lie and say that something offends me in anime just to fit your tastes. |

Also you're giving Anno way to much credit all things considered ,especially how Evangelion was already a manga series written by a different person by the time the anime version even started. |
