Super fun take on modernizing super sentai while balancing important messages and simple but effective storytelling.
    Great designs and use of colors too, it's one of my favorites and it's sad seeing you misrepresent its criticisms against social conformity while ignoring how much it values cooperation and understanding within and between communities.

    I guess this is a recommendation to anyone reading. If you want to see a fun and lighthearted show tackling the intricacies of Japanese society and it's relation with politics, it's the show for you. It also predicted surprisingly well how social media would come to influence the political sphere.
    While we're at it, how is the sequel season, assuming you've watched it?

    Not interested. I was just saying CROWDS is actually interesting and fun and has nothing to do with you crying about the west being afraid of boobs. Seeing you post about it was an unfortunate coincidence.
    I'll now go back to never reading what you post.

    So... No answer. Naturally. Because what you said is bullshit.

    Very much so, I'd say it's just as good as the first one, of not better.
    Some people criticized it for being way more heavyhanded about its themes than the first one and it's true, but I didn't mind. I don't think the show was ever subtle.

    I haven't read any prior posts, and I don't have a dog in the conversation, however since I saw the Gatchaman franchise get mentioned, I will say if someone is interested in checking it out, I would highly recommend reading the "Infini-T Force" manga. A much better usage of your time than wasting it with CROWDS.

    I doubt most Westerners have considering that Udon never released Volumes 5 and onwards. Looks like I'm going to have to re-collect the series in JPN instead now.

    How is it compared to the Anime they did a few years back? Is the MacGuffin still a novelty pencil 99% of the time, or does it actually shapeshift regularly?

    https://www.sankakucomplex.com/2022/...anese-version/ LOL, Fandom Wiki. https://archive.ph/I354t This is basically the opposite of what happened in the Dororo wiki. And that's why no one takes that site seriously. How long before they go after Mordred for one direction and Astolfo for the other?

    Damn, that band name's a blast from the past. Aren't all Servants, barring special cases, like Arturia, Pseudo-Servants, etc. Grateful Dead?

    I think that would break the rock-paper-scissors balance of the game.

    In the way where they ignore that Bridget's entire story as been about their gender identity, and them finally reaching a conclusion to it is somehow bad? Or that this is somehow new for Guilty Gear, which has been doing stuff like this for years? Or just how salty they are that people exist who aren't confined to straight male/female?

    It's all pretty hilairous honestly. Like watching Alex Jones freak out about frogs and the deep state.

    https://www.sankakucomplex.com/wp-co...uth-2022-1.jpg Bridget was forcibly raised to be a girl even though he was born male, and all his life he despised this, until Guilty Gear Strive, where instead his character does a complete u-turn and he decides to “accept being a girl”, even though he doesn’t have female genitalia and thus is still technically a man.

    There is nothing explicit about "faking being a boy" in Japanese cutscene. Bridget do say some lines about "I've been lying to myself" but I'm not sure what he actually means without context - I didn't played the game itself (or any Guilty Gear actually) and I don't trust sankaku enough to believe them that it was context they say it is. He does say "I am girl" in the end, but it is after another character call Bridget "girl" and correct himself to "boy". I would rather interpret this scene as "Bridget stopped to care about being seen as girl" than "Bridget now sees himself as girl".

    And all those twitter post are just blatant overreaction. Well, fanwiki changes is also overreaction. As always, both far right and far left parts of fandom are almost equally bad, and the only winning move is not to play their mindgames.

    To be honest, my reaction was caused by the fact that this essentially echoes what happened on the Dororo wiki: https://dororo.fandom.com/wiki/Dororo

    Lol'd at that article. Yeah, I see what you mean. Well, it is sometimes happens in western articles/translation and I doubt it can be helped. Fandom wikis anyway are often wrong so it's better to ignore them.
