Which anime are you watching or have watched recently II?

[Kazomal]

No, the humans are Japan at the beginning, surrounded by enemies but not willing to fight them, relying on the protection of the Walls. Then one day we can't stop China anymore, and the Japanese need to find their honor again and save the world.



I did notice the ethnic variety of names. I suppose the point is that by this point all of humanity has had to mix in the walled cities to such an extent that nationality before the Walls doesn't matter anymore, making it a more universal story about the oppressed/occupied? Eren at the beginning reminds me of Hamas or Chechnyan separatists- consumed with anger and a desire to fight those who he sees as responsible for putting his people in a box.

You're really grasping at straws here.

. . .no I'm discussing the entertainment products I enjoy and the impressions they gave me, and emjoying learning about what other people took from them.

Some advice, Kaz. AOT isn't a show worth over analyzing. It's just a poorly written action show.

It makes more sense for the Titans to be the Japanese and the humans the Chinese (America is still the wall btw) in my opinion.

That's stupid.

I was thinking about in a 1930s-era/Sino-Japanese war context.

The titans (Japanese) are the brutal monsters that kill the humans (Chinese) in droves in brutal ways, and the wall (America) prevents the titans from attacking them. But the titans still break through on occasion and kill many humans.


Idk, I never really analyzed AOT that much or care to, so these analogies are maybe just slightly correct but mainly aren't.

In this past month, watched Higurashi, Umineko and Another; all pretty enjoyable anime if I may say so myself. I wish there were a lot more spookier anime.

Not sure how "spooky" one might call them, but you could try Another ,Mononoke and Shiki. Somewhat more different from a normal horror, but there's also Shinsekai Yori, and both Hellsing Ultimate and Monster have traces of horror in them.

[Snakelan]

Well, I am currently watching Attack on Titan, Even though it is nearing its end, and Hellsing Ultimate, Both of which are the darkest shows I've seen, and Hellsing Ultimate has proven itself to be more bloody and violent than even Black Lagoon. Black Lagoon, I say.

AOT ain't that dark, though.

Eh, It seemed kinda dark to me. I always thought that it had some kind of cynical philosophy in it, But I might just be exaggerating.

Those goofy ass facial expressions always made the "dark" moments funny to me.

I think the show tries so hard to be edgy and dark that I laugh at the scary parts.

Looks like this mini-arc for SAO could be fun.

[UBS]

i just watched sekai ichi hatsukoi.

[Karanawa]

Rurouni Kenshin... I know it's old but I discovered it amongst other anime on crunchyroll and took a liking to it.

That and the current anime I'm watching are Sword Art Online II and Akame Ga Kill.

[Karanawa]

I couldn't stop laughing just watching Episode 15, hope the fun lasts long while it can!

[Eaglleia]

2 more episodes left for it, I liked that tail-pull bit.

Rurouni Kenshin... I know it's old but I discovered it amongst other anime on crunchyroll and took a liking to it.

I'd recommend watching Tsuiokuhen afterwards.

Frankly, the effect is just like that of Darker Than Black 26– which I loved.

Seems like you need to watch some Urobutcher if you think AOT is even close to being dark.

I love The Devil is a Part Timer...

I love ever pixel of it...

[Las Palmeras]

Meru Otonashi has the cutest voice ever.

I just bought a wall scroll of Choukai and Maya in kimonos :3

I'm not familiar with games...save for a few dating sims/eroge, and I had to see it in the Kancolle wiki. It's darkly funny how the little bold writing read: "Torpedoed, October 23, 1944".

Read the notes part of her quotes, all of them.

[Oaledonia]

Also, this pretty much sums up the game to a tee.

But...what does the Akagi have to do with the Maya? Ah, in either case forgive me for being a damned lolicon, I hate myself too. Apparently the blueprints for I-8 and Maruyu caught my attention. Unfortunately real subs aren't very cute. Bolshaya-427 (in Long Beach next to the Queen Mary) anyways...

It would have been funny if Comandante Cappellini were in the game though.
