        Oh god, it was like an isekai but for an entire military organization for fascists longing for Imperial Japan to fetishize all the while a fucking Abrams tank gleefully runs over people and commits war crimes because yeah no shit a fantasy swordsman versus a fucking gunship is an already forgone conclusion.

        I can at least respect Gundam for 1 being anti-war, and 2 not fetishizing it whilst also have believable parity of power matchups.

      It’s a meme among english-speaking Hentai watchers/readers that the now-dead former prime minister of Japan Shinzo Abe secretly pushed breeding fetish porn to try and kickstart the Japanese birth rate. I specify “english speaking” because reportedly Japanese otaku are confused when it gets brought up.

      It wasn’t a real thing and it’s definitely not a recurring theme in most anime.

      I have seen It a few times on the season list over the years. Something like World’s End Harem or Maburaho the others are legit hentai’s so I don’t count those.

    For a lot of chuds Berserk is their favorite anime/manga and well the world of Midland is in constant war and is ruled over by masochist fascists then it’s taken over by demons, said demons are overthrown, and a beautiful demon god takes over.

    Wow, so uplifting.

          Problem is that a lot of people like Berserk, but due to the nature of online discourse the people who are the most prominent in the discourse are often the most annoying. If you don’t like constant rape jokes you’ll likely not be part of any of the open fandom groups. There are simply too many edgelords.

      I will never forgive the folks who recommended Berserk without a CW on it because I was not prepared and was not in the headspace for it and it absolutely fucked my shit up right at the end and I will never forgive it for that

          I’m sure I’m not the only one, but when I was a kid I found this whole queen of the future thing very boring. I still find it silly and boring, they should have kept the focus on something else, like the slice of life, the comedy and the battle against the villains.

      She also started out as one. There’s seemingly only a brief window where the world in Sailor Moon is normal while the fated magical dictator of everything is still a child after being reincarnated, while both before and after that it’s some sort of bizarre magical nightmare hell, since even the supposed utopian future bit seems to just be a tiny isolated island of magical space crystals of ontological good in a desolate post-apocalyptic wasteland.

      The real question is how the world wound up normal after the magical Earth vs Moon war ended up with the Moon princess doing the Third Impact in retaliation for the invasion of the Moon.

      Maybe the Witches 5 were the real heroes after all, Mimete did nothing wrong except all the innocent people she attacked and the teammates she killed.

    “You idiots, don’t you GET IT!? The western imperial establishment WANTS you to criticize it, and eventually overpower it! I’ll show them, I’ll obey norms even harder!”

    This sounds like they miraculously fell for an op a couple interns at the CIA cooked up as a joke and only 4chan is dumb enough to fall for it. I can’t believe we ever took 4chan seriously, especially after 2009. It’s just aging millennial facebook without accounts at this point.

    Honestly it’s too much of a minor point to mention YYH when there are such stronger examples like One Piece, Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach (to some extent), Sakamoto Days, and so on. Naruto/Boruto is like the only really conservative manga that’s big (in the action genre), not to mention big on the “impregnate” thing, and it gets routinely ridiculed because of those very traits because it just completely wastes the setting and characters.

    MHA is explicitly collectivist, so it probably isn’t what these guys are talking about even though I would call it conservative for other reasons. In many ways, it kind of stumbled into the most stereotypical possible set of values for a Japanese cultural export with conservative collectivism and being custodians of society, etc. Still better than atomized American conservatism.

    I guess you can make an argument for Mob Psycho, but they don’t really defend or improve existing institutions, they just protect humanity in general from would-be conquerors, with very little attention paid to the structures rather than individuals protected. Maybe you could say One Punch Man by a similar token, but Saitama is constantly clowning on the Hero Association by doing nothing but vibing, and the current arc in the manga and webcomic is about the Hero Association being inadequate and corrupt and being challenged by a seemingly even-more-corrupt competitor. It’s pretty unclear where it’s going, imo, though there’s a chance it does end up extremely conservative by just re-enforcing the status quo.

    Chainsaw Man is spoilers, but if you know them, it needs no explanation how not-conservative it is.

    JJK? Uh, Gojo wants to use his totalizing power to reshape society and is seen as a hero for that, so he’s something of a blanquist I guess. It’s like Naruto in that the institutions are all fucked up, but unlike Naruto in that most of them get absolutely destroyed, albeit for various reasons. idk, maybe it is conservative, but really the main message is about being empathetic to all of humanity, even people who are different from yourself, and the other totalizing force is viewed as explicitly pitiable because he doesn’t have that capacity for empathy.

      Mob psycho isn’t very political, but there’s one moment I really like in the season 2 finale where where Mon gets really angry at some Claw members who break some windows or something. He asks them if they even know how to make a can of tinned food, or if all they know how to do is destroy. That’s a nice critique of basically any fascist movement that glorifies physical strength and hierarchy instead of the ability to create and work. Imo Mob Psycho gets away with not being political in general because it’s about the beauty of the human experience and that’s already in line with leftist ideals.

      Jujutsu Kaisen is full of criticism of conservatism, some vague anti-capitalism in Nanami’s backstory, and criticism of misogyny. It also does the classic shonen thing where it criticises violence in the text, but the reading experience is all about cool fights. Also, it’s about to end and it looks like the problems with society aren’t going to be resolved or addressed.

        Remember there’s the season 1 finale where Reigen basically lectures the first set of Claw members about how they aren’t special and need to start acting like adults and get real jobs and such. I think MP100 is pretty political since it usually frames its theses around political points, it’s just difficult to parse in a nuanced way because most of what actually happens isn’t distinctively political.

      Late addition: Kimetsu no Yaiba gets the same ruling as MHA, that one is actually conservative. Cowboy Bebop is mostly personal and oriented towards letting go of the past (or rather, failing to and suffering). Space Dandy might be a proper conservative anime despite being funny. I never watched Eva.

    Also Monster:

    The main villain turns out to be a secret group’s attempt to recreate Hitler, and he basically just manipulates everyone he meets to either commit murder or suicide; also it shows people from all parts of the world as being really friendly and to have a human side to them (which by the way was one of the things I hated about the live action movie Taken, which I felt depicted that people all over the world are evil and scary). It showed the people who tried to recreate Hitler were killed by him and were just losers trying to…I can’t remember, make a fourth reich or something? They also make it clear that the villain isn’t genetically predisposed to evil, he’s a product of environment.

    The main character trying to save Hitler 2’s life at the end again despite everything he’d seen and experienced was just basically peak liberalism, but I can understand it would turn off most viewers to watch the protagonist double tap the villain.
