Between people calling Cyberpunk Edgerunners an "American anime" despite being a collab between a Polish & Japanese studio, & people assuming that Lies of P is "western" despite being a Korean game, it's safe to say that people only view media as either being American or Japanese.
I've seen people get really into Chinese Donghua. China has its own animation industry with a lot of talented people over there, yet for some reason people insist on using a Japanese word to describe their output, which will just make people assume it's from Japan.

It's Fox Spirit Matchmaker or Huyao Xiao Hongnian. I have seen almost all translated seasons and it's the complete opposite of coomer shit. In fact, it's the lack of fanservice that makes it different from typical anime. It's a shonen style romcom, but instead of story arcs with fighting, it's about the titular Matchmakers trying to reconnect spirits and their reincarnated human lovers. Most arcs are clearly inpsired by tradtional Chinese folktales like Buttefly Lovers and Legend of the White Snake.

both japan and america create dominate media in the culture industry, not everyone is educated in basic geography to understand other counties so naturally there is going to be ignorance in the consumers, even worse the publishers like netflix who don't care ether

Just found out season 2 of Kengan premiered couple weeks ago. Currently downloading it, hope it covers Kiryu vs Kuroki fight, that one was awesome in manga. How come there already wasnt a tread about this, do you guys not like buff men punching each other?

Ok, so the first episode was filler/previous season recapitulation. The first fight of the season is going to be Wakatsiku vs Julius. Been years since I read the manga, so completely forgot what the order was. And briefly checking episode titles, yes, Kiryu fight is in a middle of a season.
The opening is pure buttrock excellence, its like watching bad AMV, missing only fraps logo and spanish subtitles.

I just watched Kiryu vs Kuroki episode. Disappointing I must say. 3DCG works really well for most of the fights, makes them look dynamic, fluid. But Kiryus fighting style specifically is heavily stylized in manga, and CG animation just fails to translate it.
Anyway, there was this youtuber who used to make Kengan MMVs, his channel is deleted but luckily all of the videos are archived, and his video does make the fight justice.

Both blatantly untrue for a number of reasons.
1) The latter applies to big time VAs, most seiyuu are just ordinary people
2) I've seen plenty of excellent dubs, because it depends on the studio and the investment. You pay low prices, you get low-effort performances… unless it's really low, then you get excellent stuff like Ghost Stories dub or DxD's dub which had free-reign. I'm not even talking about some of the HORRENDOUS japanese dubs of western cartoons, barely emoting at all, and made worse with Japanese used in animation often being repetetive.

My (second) favorite anime too, but mostly as an aesthetical example of sustainable reasonable existence. Another nice topic is self-reconstruction.

I can only say that if your only experience with cops is with american pigs, comparatively speaking Japanese cops are extremely nice and well-behaved. But if you lived in a normal country, then Japanese cops won't be much different from the ones you already know: racist and abusive. They're also empowered by a system that considers you guilty before a trial.
I remember Vice (yeah, I know) once interviewed a drug dealer in Japan. He said that Japanese cops are basically stupid because they're trained to search black guys with dreadlocks because they certainly have drugs on them. Meanwhile he was always smartly dressed and could basically sell drugs in open sight.

Cops are our proletariat class allies! Their unionization efforts MUST be supported. Class solidarity! Cops are proletariat.

Everyone loves to hate on cops, but cops dont make shit! Even the highest paid police laborors that do make money spent decades of their protecting and serving the people. They put their lives on the line for us, for basically nothing! Unwavering support for the police.

what is its historical materialist significance?
It doesn't seem very political for being a Faust story about selling your soul to the devil for material gain. I would say the whole "sacrificing young girls to fight entropy of the universe" alien thing fits in with the whole Jeffrey Epstein neoliberalism, like those "Effective Altruism" Bitcoin finance kulaks such as SBF and those other eugenicist groomers

I'm watching the Karl Marx anime and I'm interested by the portrayal of the Capitalist not necessarily as a piggish or greedy miser but as almost a sort of Carnival barker, a showman.

I think that is interesting and actually a much better depiction of the Capitalist as opposed to Porky. Like a P.T. Barnum type figure that secretly knows the truth that Capitalism is exploitative and ultimately a scam, and must sell an ideology in order to keep the scam going.

Scams like "multi-level marketing" are known to most people by now, but that's only because they hide the truth, that Capitalism is fundamentally a scam. Both of them, of course, have the same advertising pitch: "you TOO can become wealthy! If you just play the game you too can join the ruling class!" Of course Hollywood put out a movie celebrating P.T. Barnum recently. Go figure.

>Porky comes from USSR just after WW1, when starvation was a very real problem. It was politically expedient to depict Capitalists as fat in that environment.
The Porky meme specifically comes from the early USSR, but the fat capitalist caricature comes from decades before. He's been a fatass with a top hat pretty much from the dawn of a (semi) mass English-language socialist press in the 1890s, and probably even before that in the Germany.

>>21484
>I'm watching the Karl Marx anime
It's still worth watching, but it has some major, major flaws. The most inexplicable thing that I noticed is that Wilhelm Liebknecht features heavily in the episodes set in the 1870s - except that Liebknecht had been living in Germany for almost a decade at that point, and I don't think ever returned until Karl Marx's funeral in 1883. Also he looks fucking nothing like Liebknecht - maybe more like Bernstein, but he would also have been ahistorical in the time periods depicted.
