As an avid anime fan myself, I do find it crazy how seriously people take any sort of criticism towards their favorite anime, especially when it's some mainstream anime that they'll forget about once the next big thing comes out. Like everyone loves what they like, but that doesn't mean that you should threaten or annoy anyone who doesn't agree with your tastes.

They are absolutely right about Taiwan. I travelled with my parents all over Asia during my last two years of high school and during that time we lived in Taiwan.

U gotta go to Shuzenji Onsen in Shizuoka prefecture. Also there's another onsen around Dogashima near there where the onsen is built into a cliff and the waves break over the edge of the onsen bath cos you go down the stairs right to just above sea level. Shizuoka is where most of Mt Fuji is, and produces most of the country's green tea and himono (cured fish of the kind you usually see in restaurants). It's one of the only places in the world where you can eat whitebait and baby shrimp sashimi, and if you know where to go you can get sushi with Horse Mackerel that ate too much baby shrimp and accidentally Fois Gras'd itself. You can go green tea picking here with a view of Mt Fuji and try tempura tea leaves. Coming to Japan without seeing at least a bit of Shizuoka would be a massive L. Take a look into it online. Wakayama prefecture also has some really ghibliesque scenery if you head out into Kumano Kodo but that's a bit more of a time investment. Also there's a temple area near Kyoto called Sanbi which very few people go to which is great if you're like me and every temple in Kyoto being full of tourists taking selfies makes u want to Minecraft yourself. Anyway good luck walking around in train stations

[@AlexDoge20]

Absolutely nobody asked for this, but the comment Aiden made about whether you can be posh and Welsh is kind've a sore spot for Welsh people since there's a massive stigma around the Welsh being lesser both economically and socially, particularly in comparison to England. This dates back to a lot a different points in history where England overruled, minimised and dictated Wales/Welsh law to their own benefit (like the Welsh uprising via Owain Glyndwr, Mine Closures/Miner Strikes), which has lead to this strange socioeconomic and cultural superiority others have over Wales (it's worth noting that many northern, industrial places in England suffered as much as Wales from similar changes made by Westminster). Not to mention the continued neglect and dismissal from the Government throughout its existence, worth noting that Wales didn't even have its own government until 1998/99 (the Senedd). There's also a persistent mockery of the Welsh language, seen as recently as a few years ago, when the gov decided to rename many places their original Welsh names over the English translations, and these names were openly ridiculed on TV. Obviously there's a lot of detail and nuance to the issues between UK countries and their pasts, but it's interesting to me as someone who studied the fragments of the union to see that rhetoric make it as far as America. In my experience, many people don't even know about Wales, and many Welsh celebrities don't proudly identify with their Welsh heritage (omitting Martin Sheen and Taron Egerton etc). I don't know if anyone cares, but I'd highly recommend the movie 'Pride' to gain a perspective on this, and maybe inspire a newfound respect for Wales that wasn't previously there. I think most countries are at fault for something, but I am proud of and inspired by my country and I like to talk about it where I can.

As an anime lover, I totally get what Aiden has against anime. Going back to anime I used to watch and constantly seeing them waste screen time by saying all this stuff THAT WE COULD EASILY UNDERSTAND BY WATCHING or repeated flashbacks, really made me roll my eyes. Like you have a good plot and cool characters, why ruin it with cringy dialogue? I'm pickier with my anime now, but I like how recent anime are starting to take writing more seriously and have useful characters, a good plot, still dumb anime stuff but actually make it plot related, and so on.

[@razorsharp1371]

I don't think the dichotomy is "old" versus new anime. Its just that the anime with tropes like repeated flashbacks and poor dialogue are shonen. They're targeted to children, of course they're goofy. Watch/read stuff directed at a more mature audience and the problem vanishes

[@johl9056]

The one time slime will ever be wrong about writing is saying "explaining feelings as a narrative device is stupid" like bro people talk candidly and express their feelings to people, it's a perfectly normal thing real people do in real life and I don't see why it would be bad in writing. And maybe I'm just weird but I feel like a lot of people also have inner monologues (I know I do) where they're constantly thinking about how they feel about shit around them. Like idk but I feel like if something is perfectly normal for people to do in real life it shouldn't be called lazy in writing.

[@slimewire]

do you recognize that there is a difference between construction fiction and real life?

[@johl9056]

And that's not to say that every show gets it right, some do over explain stuff, but chainsaw man definitely is not one of those shows like idk how he could even think that.

[@johl9056]

@@slimewire yes but I like writing characters as realistic as possible so if there's something people do in real life commonly obviously I like when characters do it in fiction. Like I said in my other reply though obviously some shows do use it too much and over explain so you're not entirely wrong.

[@slimewire]

@@johl9056 it is lazy writing though because our job is not to have characters describe how they feel when we literally have the entire world at our fingertips to do it better and more meaningfully, and i disagree that inner monologues that dictate ones emotions are as common as you think all rules can be broken, but csm doesnt break them correctly, its lazy and sloppy in its characterization objectively

[@johl9056]

@@slimewire look man you know a lot more than me and maybe you're right but that's my writing philosophy and until one of my professors calls me an idiot for doing it I'm gonna continue because that's the stuff I like to read and watch so that's the stuff I'm gonna write. Also I heavily disagree on CSMs characterization being bad but that's whatever.
