Unfortunately I think most of them missed the entire point, however, and it reminds me of the whole "Mahouka is racist to the Chinese" hogwash.I haven't watched it myself yet (or at least not enough of it), I am just providing a possible explanation to why some people might dislike it since I've seen a lot of Shigatsu ''haters'' use this argument |

Comic_Sans said: Well, Mr. McMurphy, it has been quite some time so a detailed response may not be warranted until our next therapeutic session.? Develop I'm not fond of spoiling, but essentially a group of viewers got the impression that the moral of the story is that abuse is justified with good intentions. The abuse is only one aspect of the relationship that was explored, however, and it wasn't justified much less encouraged. It was essentially showing how someone takes his or her life experiences and makes the best of them to move forward. As for Mahouka, I debunked that argument ages ago as every "xenophobic quote" was completely taken out of context. Yes, a surplus of foreigners in a militant, heavily secured area is suspicious guys. It's not racism to make that observation. |

MrMagnificent said: Magi because they took Arab culture but made most of the cast bleach white. that's viewer perception. There was a thread a while back asking which ethnicity anime characters looked like, where everybody who was not asian said white. the OP also showed a chart showing the majority of Japanese people saying the characters looked Japanese. It's the same thing with Magi. You're projecting your own idea of skin color on it. OT: that one where the MC goes around basically punching women, Gintama in some parts, any anime with violent tsundere's (reverse domestic violence is still domestic violence), and maybe some horror / shock anime. Of course there's also just shotacon like boku no pico which most viewers find offensive. (They don't find loli offensive for some reason though...) |

15poundfish said: SuperRed said: Excuse me but what? Komari's treatment as a character and the dichotomy between city life and rural life is not believable and downright offensive. All the characters from the city are portrayed as being more mature and developed even though people born on farms generally have more responsibilities than someone from a city. The setting also romanticizes rural communities by the lack of electronics when this is definitely not the case in contemporary first world societies. That sounds ignorant and cliché but to each their own, I think it needs to take a few more steps to actually be offensive. Then again, I'm the typical guy who doesn't get easily offended by fictional stuff. Annoyed maybe, disgusted sometimes, but never as a lasting feel. |

As someone who spent 4 years of his life around Arabs, I can safely say that there are plenty of white Arabs. They can be white/pale when they stop the tanning process by not being under the sun. In other words a lot of Arabs in hot countries are brown simply due to the sun and not naturally. |

robis798 said: Comic_Sans said: Bad portrayal of childhood trauma and emotional abuse Only if you have toy train sized tunnel vision. Still blindly fanboying I see :>. Tunnel vision seems more helpful when refusing to see the issues that some of us have with the show. Saying you don't care as much about them as, say, me would be one thing, but pretending that tons of people individually made those issues up because they don't want to see anything else is just silly. Care or not care about it, but the issues are definitely not unfounded. |

Sosunser said: Because it establishes just how fucked up Misaki is as well and that her motives are far from benevolent, she just wants to feel good about herself and this also leads to a lot of conflict in the show. And whatever she does also doesn't always have the desired positive effect. In Shigatsu the egotism that motivates the cute girl was played down to the point where they made the guy look like the bad guy for having a trauma and not getting over it instantly when a cute girl tells him to do so. In NHK nobody really got over anything, it was depressing on purpose and not unintentionally. Also the comedy was a lot better and I enjoyed the side characters etc... I might be mixing up things from the manga and anime for NHK since I more recently read the manga, but I'm still pretty sure it's very different and more critical/less preachy than Shigatsu. Still, I'd probably give it 8/10 nowadays instead of 9/10 if I rewatched it, I saw it fairly early in my anime career. Shigatsu was a 3-4 when I dropped it though. I have to rewatch Shigatsu one of these days, and pay more attention. The melodrama is definitely pushed too hard and cringey at times. Shigatsu spoilers NHK spoilers Inocentz said: I've watched things that made me uncomfortable but never offended. Why would you get offended by fiction? I've just never understood why people get offended by things that aren't real. It makes no sense to me. Just because it's fictional doesn't mean it can't be offensive. It's a matter of whether it's done in good taste. Something tasteless and controversial can easily become offensive, e.g. hitler jokes. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

| "Unlike the Americans who were just brainless savages, the Japanese players were able to think and regroup to protect the Rulid Village and all the Fluclights." - Original Sword Art Online Web Novel (Battle of the Underworld) "The Koreans and Chinese were blinded by rage, by their hatred towards the Japanese. It was pitiful to see how pathetic they were, easily giving into the lies of Gabriel and PoH. Only if they had listened to the words of the Japanese players this entire war could have been avoided" - Original Sword Art Online Web Novel (Battle of the Underworld) If SAO gets a third season I really want to see if it will still continue to be popular after that airs. |

| PASWG is extremely offensive towards religious sentiments... except it then turns around and justifies and pays homage to them, so it's a mixed bag. Code Geass has some brutal stereotypes of Chinese people, as well as the Brits. I heard Akame Ga Kill was super offensive. |
