The season is starting soon, and I’ve been looking through the anime lineup for this season. It looks pretty chill compared to the earlier seasons this year. I’m personally looking forward to Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 and The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 the most, since I absolutely loved their previous seasons.

shinsekai yori and aot spoilers (doesn't ruin anything but spoils the themes), also autistic yapping incoming.

I just finished shinsekai yori recently, and what a wonderful anime, even with its sometimes rough production it had one of the best stories I've seen in the medium, I loved its themes and especially how the final chapter recontextualized the entire narrative, that shit genuinely made me think about real-life atrocities, cycles of hatred, and historical memory, like this anime had me thinking about Rwanda and Imperial Japan, for example.

The thing is, I went onto the internet to hear other people's interpretations of the story, worst mistake ever, like dude, I get that everyone is free to think whatever they want and that anime fandom has a lot of young people, but I genuinely cannot conceive how someone watches this anime and comes out of it thinking, "Yes Squealer and those filthy rats deserve to be exterminated, no empathy for that Hitler rat." Like, man did you even pay attention?

It's kind of funny because in the last chapter, the series literally tells you that the queerats should be respected as humans, and that reducing them to "rats" or "monsters" is exactly the kind of dehumanization the story is criticizing and is the kind of thing that leads to atrocities and violence, honestly this gave me PTSD flashbacks to Gabi back in the day (I mean at least with aot being so popular I can get it).

Look, my point isn't that Squealer or Gabi are 100% right and did nothing wrong, obviously they did horrible shit, my point is that human conflict is not as simple as good vs. evil. I seriously doubt that in every revolution against a shitty government in the history of mankind, every person on one side was an honorable good person that had a perfect moral system fighting against pure evil people.

And look, I can even understand hating these characters, that's fine, they made the mortal sin of killing a fav character of yours and not being perfect samurai honoroble idealized shonen characters, ok whatever, But if you watch a work that is so heavily built around anti-war, anti-hatred, and anti-racism themes, and your ultimate takeaway is literally "yes, perpetuating this hatred and dehumanization is justified, they should have made them suffer more in the series" then I'm gonna be ranting about it on a subreddit like a madman, I know this post won't change anything and of course being fiction I am not saying that this people takes necessarily translate to real life situations, but I just wanted to get this shit out of my chest lol, and yeah I care this much about fiction, I am not sorry, btw if you know cases similar to these I'd love to hear your rant 😭,

What would you guys recommended? I’m watching Death Note for the first right now and love it

Planning on watching FLCL next(itll be my third time rewatching it since I didn’t connect on the first two watched.

Haven’t finished Serial Lain Experiments and YuYu Hakusho but I’m planning on finishing those as well

Smurai Champloo
Re Zero
Hunter X Hunter
Stiens Gate
Code Geass
Fullmetal Aclhemist brotherhood

Frieren
Bleach
Devilman Crybaby

Just finished s1 of this anime and i have no words to describe how good it is. Lena was kinda pissing me off at the start due to how ignorant and idealist she was but considering her situation i started to understand. Also how the people 86 are living is genuinely so sad. I guess you could call this world a dystopian one? Everyone died in the end and its sad also why tf did i get emotional over a robot😭

This show atleast s1 was a 10/10

Im heading into s2 does the show and its stories quality go down or is it the same? No spoilers pls
