>Darling in the FranXX: Japanese anime series about fighting for the survival of humanity

>Darling in the FranXX is an original Japanese animated (anime) television series that aired between January and July 2018. It includes 24 episodes and was created by Studio Trigger under the direction of Atsushi Nishigori, who was the character designer for the popular series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagannin 2007. The series is now available on the streaming service Crunchyroll, which specializes in East Asian media.

>The series takes place in a future dystopian world where humans live in self-contained, glass-domed cities, defended by young teenagers who operate the FranXX—giant robotic weapons (mecha) that require a pair of pilots, one male and one female, to operate. The children defend the cities from klaxosaurs, a mysterious race of beings who live underground and regularly attack the cities.

>The children themselves are indoctrinated in regard to the history of humanity and the overall circumstances surrounding their service. They aspire to be “adults,” a number of whom live in the center of the cities, but with whom they never get to interact. The people in power are collectively referred to by the children as “Papa,” and they pray to them, as though to a deity, before each meal.

>The series’ main protagonist is a young pilot named Hiro, who once showed great promise, but in recent years has found himself unable to operate the machinery with success. The operation of the FranXX is associated with the onset of puberty, with the male and female crew members assuming positions within the machines that are overtly sexual.

>The principal aim of the show’s creators seems to be to examine what it means to be a human. (But how enriched and developed is their conception?) We learn that the society’s “adults” are humans who underwent a process whereby they could become immortal at the expense of their reproductive systems. They live in an advanced state of unchanging age, but no longer have interactions with each other and live sterile lives where they do not even speak.

>Anime is a complex medium, with many divisions and subdivisions. Its roots in Japan are generally traced back to the early twentieth century, but it wasPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I never watched this anime past the first episodes because it wasn't my thing, although I've gone back and seen various parts of it over time. I do recall the AMVs for Elfen Lied though, they were hardcore.

Also I think the "freak child meets a normal human boy that she imprints on" literally got stolen by Darling in the Franxx.

Absolutely wonderful film. It's too bad the animated remake that the original creators were planning never got off the ground.

To be honest, Porco and Mononoke are closer to what his movies are actually about than people on the internet really seem to realize.

Miyazaki has kind of become the Wes Anderson of anime - his style has been meme'd and caricatured by people who haven't really engaged his work and probably haven't even seen much of his stuff. Most people act like all of his movies are just wholesome, comfy slice of life - when really, only Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service are really consistenty like that.

Miyazaki's movies certainly have a pastoral vibe and have extended "cozy" sequences, but everyone forgets that those scenes are often followed by imagery of either mass destruction and violence or weird, fucked-up organic corruption. Everyone acts like Totoro is emblematic of the man's filmography, while forgetting that this is the same guy who made Porco Rosso, Castle in the Sky, Nausicaa, The Boy and the Heron and Princess Mononoke, all works that have either heavy themes, extended sequences of apocalyptic or unsettling imagery - hell, we're talking about the guy who got his start directing Lupin the Third

Miyazaki ain't no wholesome director. There's a real darkness in his work that the internet keeps whitewashing thanks to cinematically illiterate hipster-weebs

The powerful animation-art generative capability of the current AI/ML tech potentially could ease greatly the burden of tedious work, that's been almost since the beginnings of "modern anime" chronic the issue, in the production of anime if implemented well, and open up the opportunity to create works to normal people who don't have the big funds from sponsors. Have there been any cases of use in the industry yet of such generative technologies at significant level in automation-work and workflows that people might know of? This doesn't seem to be much of the over-expectation from the what the current models are capable of, since the work on the key elements would still likely be done manually while the work that is repetitive would be done by the new, improved computer aided tools.

Not yet, but AI animation work is developing rapidly, and computer programs today permit for a lot of semi-automatic animation for (relative) simplistic stuff like walk animations.

Nietzsche was heavily inspired by Wagner who at one point was an anarchist who worked together with Bakunin. This had a profound influence on Nietzsche's political writing. When he talks of the free spirits, the followers of his philosophy enacting great influence and steering society, they don't do this by the rule of law. Nietzsche despised the rule of the state and saw it as a secular religion. Leaders in Nietzche's view were writers and artists influcing society through civil society. This is in line with Wagner's anarchist and may even be traced back to Bakunin's idea of the "invisible dictatorship", were a small group may inspire and steer the revolution through education and rhethoric rather than an offical position of power enforced by the monopoly of violence

 No.23992

Wagner was very expliclity an anarchist early on in his life and in his very early writing. He expliclity planned an uprising with Baknunin until it failed and he got banished. I wouldn't suggest Nietzsche is an anarchist per se, he obviously spoke negatively of them (although this was due to their tendency at the time to use enlightment secular religion schools of thought, this changed when Nietzsche got incorperated into the tradition. This is the same story as Stirner). I am however saying Nietzschian anarchism is possible, and the link is not as strange as it may appear with a superficial understanding of the "hierachy" in Nietzsche's work

 No.23993

>>23992
yes
but i think this has to do with the open signifier of what an anarchist (anti)politics can represent in itself. everyone is an anarchist in most things already.
in the end, in "antichrist" nietzsche seems to wish for a further impersonalising of the will by placing his faith in science, for the quality of post-humanity, which i also think is his cynicism; of the project of the ubermensch itself.
i think for example, a pagan hero like achilles was simply born as a higher type, the same way in the iliad the gods are called a "race" unto themselves. the act of willing ourselves to be greater can work, but only relative to our mere humanity.
i think being human is good enough in any case.
But i will def look more into wagners anarchism.
