Like a bolt from the blue its 4 another threadview! 2days thread lets talk about what kind of “punk” themed anime or manga we would like to see be made more. I'll get to the point and lets say cyberpunk. I mean Psycho Pass is a pretty great series that should have only been one season. And just about almost everything with it from the music,story themes,characters,action,world design and also animation was just god tier levels of epic!! And that’s honestly one of the best animes ever to have been made and it still holds up well to this day. I also think steampunk as well is cool to see since Vanitas is making vampires sexy again. Dogs bullets and carnage also focuses on biopunk which isn’t something I'd seen or learned about until I saw it so there is also that to explore too. Currently that’s all I can think of from the top of my head. What about you guys got a type of “punk” genre you wanna see be made more in anime or manga? |

"Psycho Pass is a pretty great series" - naaah, it's shallow and pretentious. Ghost In The Shell SAC lifted the bar way too high...even other entries from the same franchise can't compete. Not to mention that this type of cyberpunk (the Neuromancer type) nowadays is only a form of retro futurism - future which never came. |

Catalano said: cyberpunk died in the late 90s imo, I don't think we can revive it Why would cyberpunk be dead? Just because we went past some fictional dates for xy fictional technology predicted decades ago? You can set a story written today in any future time you want, so what's the problem? In fact, I'd say we are now in a much better position to write cyberpunk than ever, because many technologies are either already possible or close to being completed, so we know what kind of stuff is unrealistic because impractical (flying cars, hologram screens :P) and what isn't and can paint a much more accurate - and frightening - future, informed by the issues and worries we have today. |

SleepySera said: Just because we went past some fictional dates for xy fictional technology predicted decades ago? Some of those predictions were ridiculous wrong and are totally outdated nowadays. Personally I don't think all the ideas which came from cyberpunk are dead...but many many are. Not to mention the subgenre itself is not as popular as in the 80s and the 90s. My guess is some newer and better form of it will emerge. |

But the genre in general is classified as an urban, dystopian future in the clasp of futuristic technology and science (plus evil mega-corporations, lol), so I don't see why we can't "update" the specific technologies and science progress to fit the worries of our time. I haven't seen Harmony yet (though it sounds very interesting, thanks for bringing it to my attention!) but based on the description, with nanomachines, health implant surveillance systems etc. it does seem to fit the criteria of advanced technology and science? The example mentioned by the OP, Psycho-Pass too. The idea of "quantifying" mental health and making it basically a resource was quite chilling to me. We still have new anime coming out regularly which fit the deal, a recent example would be Tokyo 24th Ward (though not very good), adressing worries about total surveillance and autonomous technology cities. Things that aren't yet reality but very much may be in a few years. |

That's always gonna be the biggest issue with predictions ;) Though I don't think that's necessarily a problem? Cyberpunk has always been more of a...rebellious warning along the lines of "this will be our future if we continue as we currently do and people who don't like it will be forced into the underground to live as rebels, hackers and whatnot" but humanity didn't always continue down the same road, realizing some stuff is inconvenient or outright harmful, so we strayed away from it. I think we all agree cyberpunk still has value as a whole but is outdated as it is, just disagreeing on whether that means the genre needs a facelift or something new should replace it? :) |

This is why sci-fi writers use outflank tactics like alternative history, steam punk, diesel punk ect - to make their stories more technology independent. SleepySera said: Cyberpunk has always been more of a...rebellious warning along the lines of "this will be our future if we continue as we currently do and people who don't like it will be forced into the underground to live as rebels, hackers and whatnot" This why we have other "punks" (steam, diesel...) - to have those kind of messages or exploration of themes but also not being tied up to the current status quo, which is changing way faster than the 80s and the 90s. SleepySera said: I think we all agree cyberpunk still has value as a whole but is outdated Oh, it totally has important historical value, but very few are interested in genre history nowadays. People mainly follow the latest trends, occasionally being amazed but shows which are actually superficial rehashes of older products.

TIL that there are so many other "punk" fiction genres other than cyberpunk and steampunk... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk_derivatives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopunk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanopunk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tech_noir https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieselpunk Clockpunk, a subgenre of steampunk, reimagines the Renaissance period (14th–17th century) to include retro-futuristic technology, often portraying Renaissance-era science and technology based on clockwork, gears, and Da Vincian machinery designs. Such designs are in the vein of Mainspring by Jay Lake, and Whitechapel Gods by S. M. Peters. The term was coined by the GURPS role-playing system. Examples of clockpunk include The Blazing World by Margaret Cavendish; Astro-Knights Island in the nonlinear game Poptropica; the Clockwork Mansion level of Dishonored 2; the 2011 film version of The Three Musketeers; the TV series Da Vinci's Demons; as well as the video games Thief: The Dark Project, Syberia, and Assassins Creed 2. Ian Tregillis' book The Mechanical is self-proclaimed clockpunk literature. Decopunk, also known as coalpunk, is a recent subset of dieselpunk, centered around the art deco and Streamline Moderne art styles, and based on the cities of New York, Chicago, and Boston around the period between the 1920s and 1950s and inspired by Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927 film). Steampunk author Sara M. Harvey made the distinction that decopunk is "shinier than dieselpunk;" more specifically, dieselpunk is "a gritty version of steampunk set in the 1920s–1950s" (i.e., the war eras), whereas decopunk "is the sleek, shiny very art deco version; same time period, but everything is chrome!" Possibly the most notable examples of this genre are games like the first two BioShocks and Skullgirls; films like Dick Tracy (1990), The Rocketeer (1991), The Shadow (1994), and Dark City (1998); comic books like The Goon; and the cartoon Batman: The Animated Series, which included neo-noir elements along with modern elements such as the use of VHS cassettes. Atompunk (also known as atomicpunk) relates to the pre-digital period of 1945–1969, including mid-century modernism; the Atomic, Jet, and Space Ages; communism, Neo-Soviet styling, and early Cold War espionage, along with anti-communist and Red Scare paranoia in the United States; underground cinema; Googie architecture; Sputnik and the Space Race; comic books and superhero fiction; and the rise of the American military–industrial complex. Its aesthetic tends toward Populuxe and Raygun Gothic, which describe a retro-futuristic vision of the world. Most science fiction of the period carried an aesthetic that influenced or inspired later atompunk works. Some of these precursors to atompunk include 1950s science fiction films (including, but not limited to, B movies), the Sean Connery-era of the James Bond franchise, Dr. Strangelove, Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, The Avengers, early Doctor Who episodes, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Green Hornet, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, Thunderbirds, Speed Racer, and some Silver Age comic books. Notable examples of atompunk in popular media that have been released since the period include television series like Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Venture Bros, Archer, and the web series The Mercury Men; comic books like Ignition City and Atomic Age; films like The Incredibles (2004), The Iron Giant (1999), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015), X-Men: First Class (2011), and Men in Black 3 (2012); video games like Destroy All Humans! (2005) and the Fallout series; and books like Adam Christopher's novel The Age Atomic. Steelpunk focuses on the technologies that had their heyday in the late 20th century. It has been described as being characterized by hardware over software, the real world over the virtual world, and mega-technology over nanotechnology; rather than grown, printed, or programmed, artifacts in steelpunk are built (typically with rivets). Examples include films like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) and Snowpiercer (2013), as well as those in the Mad Max, Terminator, and Robocop film franchises; stories centered on comic book characters Barb Wire, Iron Man, and Stainless Steel Rat; and Heinlein juveniles novels. Rococopunk is a whimsical aesthetic derivative of cyberpunk that thrusts punk attitude into the Rococo period, also known as the late Baroque period, of the 18th century. Although it is a fairly recent derivative, it is a style that is visually similar to the New Romantic movement of the 1980s (particularly to such groups as Adam and the Ants). As one steampunk scholar put it, "Imagine a world where the Rococo period never ended, and it had a lovechild with Sid Vicious." Rococopunk has most recently been seen through the artist Prince Poppycock as featured on The X Factor. Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, often known as "the Queen of Punk Fashion," also mixes Rococo with punk stylings. Stonepunk refers to works set roughly during the Stone Age in which the characters utilize Neolithic Revolution–era technology constructed from materials more-or-less consistent with the time period, but possessing anachronistic complexity and function. The Flintstones franchise, including its various spinoffs, falls under this category. Other examples include the episode "The Nightmare of Milky Joe" in The Mighty Boosh, Gilligan's Island, The Croods franchise, and Castaway (2000). Literary examples include Edgar Rice Burroughs' Back to the Stone Age and The Land that Time Forgot, and Jean M. Auel's "Earth's Children" series, beginning with The Clan of the Cave Bear. Riichiro Inagaki's manga series Dr. Stone can be also considered as stonepunk. Solarpunk is a movement, a subgenre, and an alternative to cyberpunk fiction that encourages optimistic envisioning of the future in light of present environmental concerns, such as climate change and pollution, as well as concerns of social inequality. Solarpunk fiction—which includes novels, short stories, and poetry—imagines futures that address environmental concerns with varying degrees of optimism. One example is News from Gardenia by actor-writer Robert Llewellyn. Lunarpunk is often considered a dark opposite of solarpunk. It portrays humans as invasive instead of using technology to improve things. As seen in the film Avatar (2009) by James Cameron, the genre focuses on living in unison with nature; spiritualization is very present and nature is seen as a deity of sorts. In this way, it can be defined as "Wiccan Solarpunk." Aesthetically, lunarpunk usually is presented with pinks and purples with an almost omnipresence of bioluminescent plants and especially mushrooms. Elfpunk is subgenre of urban fantasy in which traditional mythological creatures, such as faeries and elves, are transplanted from rural folklore into modern urban settings. The genre has been found in books since the 1980s, including works such as War of the Oaks by Emma Bull, Gossamer Axe by Gael Baudino, the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer, the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, and The Iron Dragon's Daughter by Michael Swanwick. It also existed in other mediums at that time, for example the 1989 role playing game Shadowrun. Set in the near future, its setting would be considered traditional cyberpunk, if not for the appearance of orks, dwarves, elves, trolls and dragons, and the return of Magic. During the awards ceremony for the 2007 National Book Awards, judge Elizabeth Partridge expounded on the distinction between elfpunk and urban fantasy, citing fellow judge Scott Westerfeld's thoughts on the works of Holly Black who is considered "classic elfpunk:" creatures depicted in elfpunk are those that have already existed in literature—urban fantasy, on the other hand, "can have some totally made-up f*cked-up creatures." The 2020 Pixar animated film Onward is an example of elfpunk fiction, set in a "suburban fantasy world" that combines modern and mythic elements. The film Netflix Bright is another example of elfpunk in cinema. This thread might be very helpful for those competing in this year's MAL x Honeyfeed contest lol Dunno how many of these are actually legit, but I think it'd be cool to see more of these "punk" derivatives in anime in general! I'm honestly not sure which one I would choose if I had to pick any one of these., though solarpunk does catch my eye... and I am surprised to not see Crow mention this one below: GOTHIC PUNK If Gothic Rock had a literary genre, this would be it. If you’re trying to identify Gothic Punk, you should keep an eye out for early 2000s architecture, big metropolis, and dark, brooding supernatural elements. The White Wolf RPG Vampire: The Masquerade named this genre, and is the most prolific example yet. Other examples that leap to mind include Hellboy and Underworld. Also, more like whatever the hell this is would be very welcome. I thought this was what the internet described as "mythpunk", but I guess not? Still, mythology + cyberpunk tho... |

I'm really only into one type of cyberpunk aesthetics, basically those with neon signs and holographs in dark settings. My favorite visuals are Ghost in the Shell, Psycho-Pass, Akudama Drive, DMMD and Tales of the Neon Sea. Story-wise Psycho-Pass is the best. |

Steampunk is interesting but i feel like it has been more often in media so far and cyberpunk is only very recently popular. Purely asthetically i prefer steampunk because the cyberpunk people remind me of insane twitter users visually |

@Fario-P that's a lot of punk I didn't know existed, thanks for all that info. I'd totally love having cyberpunk back, preferably without giant robots involved (I have nothing against them, but I dislike them being the focal point of an anime and presented in a way to make the viewers drool over them - I personally have no attraction towards them). Supporting what @mwinner said, I'd like to point out that Vanitas revived some interest in steampunk, as did Psycho-Pass in the early 2010s, so who's to say what'll work and what wouldn't? |

I think cyberpunk can definitely make a comeback if it's updated through contemporary issues and technological developments that are relevant to the 21st century. The Punk genre is largely characterized by anti-establishment views and revolutionary sentiments. I think there is a lot of potential for the anime medium to use the Punk genre to flesh out some interesting social commentary on current events or political issues. I feel like the anime medium lacks well-written political anime in general, so it would be interesting to see a punk political anime, perhaps a show with an anarchist or anti-establishment point of view at its core. |

Correct, Kawajiri the guy who directed Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D (also with Yokishita Amano of the final fantasy game.) worked on wicked city and sure np. School is am absolute cancer trash shithole i know lmao so focus on that before you focus on the recs i've given. |

I think it's funny how people diss Psycho Pass for being shallow and pretentious (which is true) and a blight to cyberpunk, as if the genre is full of brain scratchers. Arguably cyberpunk peaked outside of literature with Blade Runner and the first Ghost in the Shell, and neither are as deep nor provocative as people tend to make them — that's especially true for Blade Runner, which is a washed down version of an already unassuming book (which isn't to say these movies are bad, both are among my favourites). Honestly, I'm all in for the aesthetic side of cyberpunk only: I have no hope that Cyberpunk Edgerunners will have any depth to it given it's Trigger, but I'm excited as hell for it. Crow_Black said: Comfortpunk/wholesome punk is another thing, that exists but eh.... its a whole bunch of sjw wokescold bullshit honestly and i don't reccomend it at all whatsoever. What even is comfortpunk/wholesomepunk? And I guess there's also mannerpunk that nobody cited yet, which is basically fantasy that focuses on high society and its customs (think Jane Austen with dragons), but Shadows House is the only example I can think of it in anime. Maybe Gankutsuou. |

elnino02 said: Oh no, how'd I forget to reply?!? You're welcome, we need some more cyberpunk in anime indeed!!@Fario-P that's a lot of punk I didn't know existed, thanks for all that info. I'd totally love having cyberpunk back, preferably without giant robots involved (I have nothing against them, but I dislike them being the focal point of an anime and presented in a way to make the viewers drool over them - I personally have no attraction towards them). Supporting what @mwinner said, I'd like to point out that Vanitas revived some interest in steampunk, as did Psycho-Pass in the early 2010s, so who's to say what'll work and what wouldn't? |

I really enjoyed the art style and worldbuilding of Dorohedoro, the dark cyberpunk feel of it seemed so cool and different. I would love if more anime plotlines or concepts revolved around a dark cyberpunk world. For manga the punk style of Blame was amazing as well |

mistersunday said: I think cyberpunk can definitely make a comeback if it's updated through contemporary issues and technological developments that are relevant to the 21st century. The Punk genre is largely characterized by anti-establishment views and revolutionary sentiments. I think there is a lot of potential for the anime medium to use the Punk genre to flesh out some interesting social commentary on current events or political issues. I feel like the anime medium lacks well-written political anime in general, so it would be interesting to see a punk political anime, perhaps a show with an anarchist or anti-establishment point of view at its core. Astral Chain for the switch and neji by kaori yuki you're welcome |
