Ye i tried to watch that, somehow i got to episode 3 before i decided to stop and attempt suicide to cleanse myself of what i saw. Which hasn't happened since i tried to watch Oreimo
I'm still disappointed Handshakers isn't one of those weird high school slice-of-life animes about teenagers learning how to network in some kind of after-hours social club.
Your "high school prodigies" rant made me think about how an actual isekai about a stage magician trapped in a fantasy world would work, and then I realized that was essentially the wizard of oz.
You do have Tricks Dedicated to Witches. Stage magician is isekai to just our regular middle ages. Uses his skills to recruit girls accused of being witches and use their skill sets (herbalism, metalurgy, sword fighting better than rich men, the kind of stuff that'd get a woman in that scenario) to oppose the church's miracles (which are just tricks modern science). It was sadly cut short when we were starting to find out why the church had this futuristic knowledge, but what's there is pure gold.
I have literally no problem with rugby players larping while playing the game and creating a huge ass castle room for their club. I think it could be endearing and hilarious if the show acknowledges the silliness and has them play off it instead of playing it straight.
If it was a parody of the sports anime genre I could see it being the best part of the entire show. Literally just the idea would have people laughing so hard they wouldn’t be able to breath. But sadly, it doesn’t look like it
@@starduststriker8792 And then they try to use spells by having multiple ball on the field at the same time and using pyrotechnics. Sure, they lose every match because that's cheating, but boy does it make them look like wizards.
> Makes a show about a genius, new, world-changing, never-thought-of-before ideal to make the world a better place > Get rid of the bad guys lol here's a cat girl
Me too. I don't remember a throne room, but the homoerotic undertones seem about right. Although maybe that's natural in a sport where we all put on shorts and knee-high socks to mud-wrestle with 29 other guys.
18Hongo the best comparison I’ve ever heard was Gigguk comparing it to Jojos. It’s sort of camp, but it’s also so masculine that it jumps over actually being gay
So the worst anime is basically "DanganRonpa characters mixed with that one annoying guy from your PoliSci 101 class." Gotta say, that one's hard to beat.
@@Annadog40 tell that too Mitch Jonhson because he just said it was you me and my son despise these so called Anime Pure'ests just because they didn't love an anime they watched doesn't mean it's grabage
The funny thing is, the Political system he's trying to build is gonna end more unstable and disastrous than the Republic of Weimar and Tsarist Russia combined.
I’m so good at politics lol! It makes no damn sense. I can’t see this series being coherent even if someone who’s actually read theory did it, but it probably wouldn’t be as unbearable, and be entertaining if I agreed.
I do acknowledge that alot of the popular stories that are getting adapted are works that were created when the authors were teens or in the worst case, the mental age of. I know this naive clueless certainty well when I began reading my old work one day. The shame is what makes me fear to pick up a pen again. However, coming from this place of understanding. I feel justified in also HATING that this dreck is what gets popular. I feel a shift in the old guard otaku. That many people that loved anime in the early 2000s have woken up to realising that they have had some terrible tastes in their youth and the new generation of anime fans are holding the same horrid standards. Thats where I feel there's a divide in the anime community.
"basically this show is about chuuni pete buttigieg and his bishonen billionaire backer starting a magical civil war just to recreat the world we have now" is my favorite synopsis of a show ive ever heard
I decided to do some research and apparently the manga and light novels that the anime is based on are a LOT more interesting. The politician and the billionaire are basically allies of convenience, as the politician is a hard-core socialist while the billionaire does most of of the stuff Geoff is complaining about, and as the series goes on, the other five prodigies begin to fall into those respective camps. The only reason they have to work together is because their new republic is still a small province in rebellion against a MASSIVE empire. So the #1 slot is even worse because the source material actually DOES explore the concept better, but the anime didn't have time to get into any of that.
The thing that bothered me the most about High School Prodigies In Another World is that they decided to have the Politician double as the Military Tactician, those things don't overlap. History shows that Politicians often make the worst military commanders, political victories are not the same as military victories and they are measured by different standards and achieved by different methods. A Politician aiming for a political victory will squander and pass by Tactically superior methods and objectives, and ultimately never achieve a military victory.
There are a handful of exceptions in ancient Rome, but that's the exception because they treated political acumen as synonymous, meaning that they taught their politicians how to lead armies and their generals how to -bribe and bootlick their way into office- inspire people to vote for them. If you train enough multiclass General/Senators, some of them are going to get past the first tier in both of their classes.
@@GrlmRiper A one percenter is a person who is in the top 1 percentile with respect to wealth. In the real world 1% of the world's total population hold 50.1% of the world's wealth. Another way to look at it is this: in 2018 in the United States, the top 1% collectively gained $29.5 trillion in net worth while the bottom 50% collectively lost $900 billion in net worth.
@Matt Wongkondee i still dont get it with oreimo,i mean im not fan of the series but isnt the incest that u guys want from that series right? i mean the premise of that series is incest of kirino and her brother,but when it happen ppl hate it
@Matt Wongkondee yeah,but the author didnt lie or ignoring his premise,i watched that anime then i can clearly see this author isn half ass,he bring incest premise,he executed it,not like most series teasing its gonna be "siscon/brocon/incest" but nothing happen.
I once read a fanfiction in which the author misunderstood how shark mating works in order to force one hot guy and another hot guy in merman shark form to bang, with the characterization/writing skills/everything slowly disintegrating as the story went on. And I'd rather go and reread that then watch the mermaid mess that the card game gods shat out this year.
one thing that bothers me is when a show just needs a small change to drastically improve it, like instead of making the highschool prodigies the good guys make them knowingly install our corrupt political systems explicitly for their own gain, you can have an interesting complex plans within plans for the first half and maybe some dissention among the main character and interpersonal conflict for the second. like heterochromia-kun becoming a dictator and the other need to use their skills to take him out such as: -ninja journalist exposing political corruption and wrongdoing -billionaire could go both ways using his wealth to influence politics for his benefit or remaining a business man while supplying a resistance with funding on the down low -Samurai whamen and engineer wahmen can work with training and technological advancement for a resistance -Medical wahmen can stick with heterochromia guy, she seems the most 1 note, and somebody has to stick with him to be the evil second in command -and kill the kid magician since hes useless at the turning point of the story, at least he would have some use by upping the stakes and maybe a villain kicking puppies effect.
On another note: Keep the magician kid around. Show how he actually comes up with those trucks and illusions. Have him go through an existential crisis as his entire world view is shattered, and have him learn a trial magic, combining the supernatural with the facade to become a wild card in this war, a jester if you will who will use his view on the world and illusions to show the foolishness of each and every other character. Showing the redundancy of the characters for confirming to the same basic plots and cycles as humanity went through all along, even when given a second chance. Keep him as the nihilistic jester who shows everyone their wrongdoings would give his character an actual, important role as an outside observer who could very well manipulate events to transpire worst case scenarios for each side and individual for amusement and to prove his point, while also avoiding needlessly killing him off for a kick the puppy moment.
Or some existential crisis realizing that every system is corrupt and there isn’t a utopia and having to have “prodigies” reconcile with that and instead come up with the best ways to keep a system going the longest.
I tried that anime once since I have a soft spot for mermaids, but the good feelings went away really fast since the first scene takes place in a cafe. Underwater. They're drinking tea and have baked goods...underwater. It runs on the same rules as Spongebob Squarepants but without the wacky tone to justify it.
With how much Japanese society has basically implemented everything the assassin wanted by essentially banishing the Unification Church and its allies from public life (including Shinzo Abe's own brother), that guy might, like the anime character, become prime minister at this rate
@@Brasswatchman I haven't watched the anime, but I _do_ have Wikipedia. According to that font of data, _High School Prodigies_ began publication in 2015. Shinzo Abe was Prime Minister from 2012 to 2020, plus a couple of years in the oughts which are less relevant. HSP was written while Abe was in office, and he was a prominent politician since the 90's. The way I see it, assuming the prime minister in HSP is supposed to be Shinzo Abe is kinda like assuming the black president in an American novel written in 2011 (or an anime movie from 2012) is supposed to be Obama. It's speculative, but it's not unreasonable speculation. Though canonically, Tsukasa's family name is Mikogami and not Shinzo. So it would be a Tom Buck situation.
"Anime Bernie Sanders" "Political Mayonnaise" "Chuuni Pete Buttigieg" New words i would've never imagined would go together prior to watching this vid. Thank you for expanding the zeitgeist!
Admittedly, I enjoyed the Highschool Prodigies anime because when I went into it, I thought it was itself a parody of the OP Isekai genre with intentionally backwards "maintain the real world status quo" aspects to subvert the supposed overpowered/exceptional characters. I didn't realize that it was... actually trying to take itself seriously.
We're Siblings! We're lovers Turns out I'm adopted! we're married. Turns out i was stolen at birth, adopted by complete coincidence, and actually was her sibling all along!
Vinlando Saga first thought was a Ghibli movie called, “on Top of Poppy Hill,” girl meets a boy and they find out something something. One of them was adopted into the family something something, but they never answer if they were brother and sister in the end biologically.
Another problem with the prodigy anime is a lack of understanding of how society evolves. You can't just transform a nation and culture that has only ever known absolute monarchy into a liberal democracy. The problems arise with the fact there is no evolution of government. Granted, while revolutions are generally throwing out the old and bringing in the new (america), they could only do so because of the social tensions and philosophocal thought to allow it. The american revolution for example came about after a good few centuries of being a colony, Britain was already the most democratic of the European empires (though it was abysmally undemocratic by today's standards) and the Enlightenment provided the critical thought to fuel a desire for change. I don't want to sound like an obnoxious youtube commenter, the "look at me i'm smrt!" kind of guy, I just wanted to point that out as a history buff and politics student. Besides, what really condemns that show is the fact that the political prodigy is apparently wanting to create a better world based on morality, going so far as to trust his former enemies who were saturday morning cartoon villains, when he himself murdered his father.
looks like someone did their homework (not trying to be sarcastic), unlike whoever created this show. haven't started watching yet but seems obvious at this point that they are going further than a normal power fantasy and are ignoring obvious flaws in an already oversimplified idea. as said above, the "hero's" ideals sound like something from miss universe when they are not that simple, with the politician being counterproductive, and the bussinessboy being hypocritical. here's hoping that these have a deeper meaning later than just being incompetent in their one job (ironic) but it doesn't look like that's going to happen
@@omicronrho9951 That would actually be a cool idea; to have these prodigy's think they can change the world in such a drastic way without any conception of the consequences they might incur. Like say if the politician's new cabinet turned on him in a power grab or if there was a revolt in desire for a unifying, king-like figure. I just don't think, from what I've seen, that's going to happen; rather than tell a story of hubris, the writers seem to be communicating a message of what a good government is without actually knowing what they think the perfect government is. Or it is just a power fantasy.
i tink isn't time the factor but development. liberalism and communism spread whit the industrual revolution, new tecnology means more educated pepole more educated pepole means political reforms. you can't have a pepoles revolution whitout some kind of tecnological revulution. in fact my tecnology evolves whit time so your opinion than politics evolves whit times is correct. There Is even the randomness of events such as the birth of a singular person than then creates an entire movement and particular events than remian impressed in pepoles minds such as the enlightment.
Mark Twain wrote one of the first time travel stories ever, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and the titular character's attempts to introduce liberal democracy to peasants and lords, uh... Well, things don't go quite as planned. Shame Mark Twain didn't have the political acumen and power of some random low-effort 2019 anime, or he'd have seen that, as a certain monster once said, "There Is No Alternative."
"You can't just transform a nation and culture that has only ever known absolute monarchy into a liberal democracy." is something the Bush administration couldn't figure out either
Geoff: "I don't know where his face went, but I know where he's going!" Me: To steal your girl? Geoff: "My nightmares! Forever!" Me: Ah, first time meeting hentai-kun I see
Ok i gotta say in addition to all the other points about the highschool prodigy show, "we need to transform this foreign civilization into our own" is kinda accidentally colonialist
I always figured the point of "Gate" was to let modern Japan colonize a medieval Europe instead of vice versa. (A way of resolving historical trauma, I guess?) Maybe this anime is them getting to reenact the post-WWII US Occupation of Japan from the other side.
The Handshakers sequel Wis is the best anime of 2019 for me, because it gives me hope. Handshakers was one of the worst financial failures in anime history. It's definitive proof that literally any show in existence can be revived and given a second season.
Some writers seem to forget that the tip "give a character a few defining traits so they're memorable" doesn't mean to literally pick a cliche trait out of a hat and make the character ONLY that trait. And a that hobby or item of clothing doesn't count as a personality
Tsukasa has to be the first character with heterochomia I've ever seen where I think he would look better without it. I love heterochromia but damn that doesn't look good at all.
a sword of cds could work if they didn't attack with the sword but would pick a cd on the sword and swinging it would do the attack (but utilizing the sword as a trigger/control not a weapon)
Mai Sage that’d be cool, and maybe different songs could have different effects. Wow, the RUclips comments section has already come up with better character design than an original anime
I don’t know why, but I watched the “Into my nightmares, forever! OH SWEET JESUS-KUN IT MOVES!” Three times in quick succession because I accidentally tapped the screen, and I howled with laughter every time. It really unnerved the clients at my law offices.
@@10tailedbijuu Yes, educate them and give them power. Better than leaving it to the fuckshits who thought hoarding knowledge to their own benefit was a totally cool idea.
@@10tailedbijuu The solution there is to improve the education system so women can be educated too. Also that wasn't universally true even in our own world. There were a handful of intelligent women across history that we know of, and undoubtedly more, but we're still having to dig through thousands of years of historical bias that ignored or downplayed their existence outside of the few that had to be included because of just how influential they were in their day.
It would be fun to see a show where someone ends up in another world, and tries to blend in with the locals in town. The thing is, every citizen is in the exact same situation. There are no natives. Just a town full of outsiders that are convinced they are the only weird one.
@@jardex2275 I'd kinda like an Isekai where some overpower schlub ends up in another world only to discover it's fine, no real problems, local heroes have matters well in hand. And then he just has to get a job. Would obviously get boring as a series but as a one-off could be funny.
Most people who claim they want "apolitical" & "objective" opinions typically aren't being truthful when they say that. What they're REALLY saying is this: "I want everything I watch to be an echo chamber of all my personal beliefs."

@@huitzil2389 You conservatives call ANYTHING & EVERYTHING you don't like"communist" or "socialist" which goes to show that NONE of you morons actually know what EITHER of those ideologies even are in the first place! On top of that, conservative morons like you have used those words so often that your accusations are practically MEANINGLESS! In the end, nearly all of you people are just nobodies like the rest of us except you have the audacity to DEMAND THAT EVERYTHING PLEASES YOU & YOUR SENSIBILITIES! The creators of various works are NOT OBLIGATED to please you people 100% of the time as THEY are not YOU!

@@GamerFromJump Idk how anyone would think that Bernie Sanders, of all people, is a parasite.

The problem with this idea is I literally can't imagine this hypothetical series being anything other than an Incredibly Generic Shonen with Aurum being an incredibly generic Shonen Protagonist. You'd need to give it a *very* competent writing staff to have it turn out more like MHA or Beastars and less like Black Clover or Sword Art Online.

Fanatical people can't live without putting its own ideology on everything that he talk about. Its like a dog that step on shit and run through the house.

The problem with the Number 1 Anime is really simple. People can't write characters that are truly more intelligent than they themselves are without research into and consultation about what those characters are supposed to be. Research and consultation clearly was not done, and if it was, it wasn't done properly.
"Anime Bernie Sanders": I mean, wouldn't that just be an aging dude who basically steps into the protag role, since no one else will or everyone else is a villain? Actually, I'd be down for it, I mean, we even have the backstabbing friend arc.
1. Anime Bernie organizes a resistance movement against the Evil Empire 2. Anime Bernie is offered a deal and takes it, severing ties with the resistance 3.

Anime Bernie leads a desperate attack on the Evil Empire, but *le gasp* he was a plant the entire time! He retires to his 3 mansions, consuming daquiris with pinky extended 5.

He's got one townhouse in DC he needs because, y'know, he works there, one family home in Vermont and a tiny lakefront property he bought by selling a bigger house he and his wife inherited from her parents.

"Do you Love your Mother" actually ended up not being as "incesty" as one would think given its premise. Instead it ended up being kinda boring.... and had a shockingly long "high school arch" for some reason. It had very little sword and sorcery relative to what the set up would imply, and just as little incest. I would not say that I WANTED an incest anime, because ew, but I couldn't help feel let down in some way. I wanted my train wreck, and I got a fender bender.
I had fun with the first arch, but the school arch was SO boring and badly written. About the last arch, it was better, but those random stereotypical moms ruined it.
[wið] would be pounced “weethe” with the vowel relatively clipped and “th” as in “this” or “that”. An actual approximation of what they say in the show would be [waɪð] or [waɪz].
ð is a pretty interesting sound in English. It's very rare with regard to how many different words it appears in, but when it does appear it's in frequently used words like "the". It was probably much more common in Old English.

@@Derasght stress is stress, and if you can't breathe for 5 minutes due to involuntary chest contractions, i would say that might stress your lungs and brain.
The reason the High School Prodigy anime is like that is because that's the same foundation that modern Japan is built on: All the same nobles and wealthy individuals who ran the country before the Meiji restoration and before WWII just took over again once the dust settled. The people making the anime probably DON'T think there's any possible world better than the status-quo.
I'm reminded of how Harry Potter spent 7 books and 8 movies where the one consistent theme was "the wizarding world kinda sucks" and then ended the series with "then all the kids grew up and married their high school crushes & nothing changed or got better." Could make for a fun political satire. "I reincarnated in a fantasy land and then crushed all the joy and magic from it!"
@@Ninjat126 Yeah, the entire series was quite explicit that the big bad was in no way the only problem with the wizarding world. Like Dumbledore's speech about how the statue depicting happy cooperation between wizards, centaurs, and goblins was "a lie". And then at the end that all just gets brushed aside.
23:10 This is sadly more common than it seems. Some teams let go of players who are injured. The NFL was lousy with it, because players kept getting cut for injuries and not being brought back after their contract was up. A lot of players kept going into games with concussions, sprains, you name it. That and High School kids who feel like sports are their only ticket out of whatever problems they have in life do it too.

"There's Tsukasa, a political genius who killed his dad (Shinzo Abe, I think?)" ... Hits differently now.
Anime pitch: the main character’s motivation is to finish a piece of magical graffiti as their magnum opus, except they (gender is irrelevant here) are a high-concept dreamer type who decided their magnum opus would be made with magical paint over basically every surface of the entire Judge Dredd-level OBEY MAH AUTHORITAY city they moved into specifically for this project. The city police department, meanwhile, is made up entirely of every spin on the Lawful Good Paladin archetype that can be conceived, from ‘cool grizzled Dude who knows every loophole in the book but isn’t afraid to nut up when it comes time to Enforce The Law’ to ‘hateful rule monkey who will attempt to execute you for looking at them funny’. Plot progresses, graffiti nears completion despite Law Enforcement’s best efforts, it develops that Graffiti Wizard has turned to art as a coping method after a much more classical-draconian government burned their own home down, leading sympathetic Law Enforcers to cut down on effort and start rethinking things. Character development all around, series ends with the completion of graffiti, turns out its great big scary magic effect was enforcement of truth. In one building. The government building. And only there. Graffiti Wizard rides off into the sunset, leaving behind a changed town, and their FORMER magnum opus - already plotting their next way into the history books - and Law Enforcers end up taking over whole force/going into politics/retiring to become media personality/otherwise moving into more civically influential roles in their city, always remembering that strange, kooky person who just wanted everyone to be happy... and to be famous, because heck yeah, that’s awesome.
Man I'd kill for a Bernie Sanders anime. Just imagine Ghost in the Shell but its Bernie Sanders. Or FLCL but its Bernie Sanders, or even Cowbernie Sandbop
I'd love to see an anime with a moody, anti conformity Bernie Sanders who mopes around the government building, refusing to attend certain meetings because they're "childish". Until one day a hot alien chick runs him over with her vespa. 😂
I want to see an isekai where a talented illusionist (magician, not actual wizard) is chucked into a fantasy world with a sufficiently corrupt government, and the story follows their escapades as they go *full* phantom thief, using their incredible skills in practical effects and certain parts of the magic system to pull off seemingly impossible heists with style and panache. An important note for this to work is that the protagonist cannot have any cheat skill, and preferably doesn't even have access to the base magic system, instead forced to get by on trickery and what magic is possible without any mana.
One of these days, someone is gonna have to explain to me what is Japan's deal with adults getting sexual with literally kids, or just kids doing The Sex in general. Also, Isekai Cheat Magician had his childhood friend tag along?! Now I want an Isekai anime where a couple (regardless of whether they're a highschool couple or actual grown adults) gets transported/resurrected to your average fantasy world, and the two of them develop (equally) powerfully abilities. For bonus drama, have each of them of them be summoned by opposing factions at war with eachother.
I think it's because japan used to allow consent at the age of 13. Most prefectures at this point in time have changed their laws to 18 unless sincere romantic feelings are involved and parents have given consent. Pretty sure pre ww2 it was pretty normal but take that with a grain of salt since I couldnt find anything concrete. Plus looking young is quite the thing in japan. Look at all their popular stars. There might be alot more to it but pretty sure it's just cultural differences.

& Mommy what's bad for you?
Your "high school prodigies" rant made me think about how an actual isekai about a stage magician trapped in a fantasy world would work, and then I realized that was essentially the wizard of oz.
I’m maybe late. But holy shit!
The Wizard of Oz is the greatest Isekai light novel ever. It's this wierd combination of magic, social engineering, and 1900s era economic policy.
You do have Tricks Dedicated to Witches.
Stage magician is isekai to just our regular middle ages. Uses his skills to recruit girls accused of being witches and use their skill sets (herbalism, metalurgy, sword fighting better than rich men, the kind of stuff that'd get a woman in that scenario) to oppose the church's miracles (which are just tricks modern science). It was sadly cut short when we were starting to find out why the church had this futuristic knowledge, but what's there is pure gold.
how is dorothy in any way a stage magician? what the actual fuck is this take.

I have literally no problem with rugby players larping while playing the game and creating a huge ass castle room for their club. I think it could be endearing and hilarious if the show acknowledges the silliness and has them play off it instead of playing it straight.
If it was a parody of the sports anime genre I could see it being the best part of the entire show. Literally just the idea would have people laughing so hard they wouldn’t be able to breath. But sadly, it doesn’t look like it

The funny thing is, the Political system he's trying to build is gonna end more unstable and disastrous than the Republic of Weimar and Tsarist Russia combined.
I’m so good at politics lol!
It makes no damn sense. I can’t see this series being coherent even if someone who’s actually read theory did it, but it probably wouldn’t be as unbearable, and be entertaining if I agreed.
I do acknowledge that alot of the popular stories that are getting adapted are works that were created when the authors were teens or in the worst case, the mental age of. I know this naive clueless certainty well when I began reading my old work one day. The shame is what makes me fear to pick up a pen again. However, coming from this place of understanding. I feel justified in also HATING that this dreck is what gets popular. I feel a shift in the old guard otaku. That many people that loved anime in the early 2000s have woken up to realising that they have had some terrible tastes in their youth and the new generation of anime fans are holding the same horrid standards. Thats where I feel there's a divide in the anime community.
"basically this show is about chuuni pete buttigieg and his bishonen billionaire backer starting a magical civil war just to recreat the world we have now" is my favorite synopsis of a show ive ever heard
It's a great synopsis, marred only by how f*king terrible the anime it's describing is.
I decided to do some research and apparently the manga and light novels that the anime is based on are a LOT more interesting. The politician and the billionaire are basically allies of convenience, as the politician is a hard-core socialist while the billionaire does most of of the stuff Geoff is complaining about, and as the series goes on, the other five prodigies begin to fall into those respective camps. The only reason they have to work together is because their new republic is still a small province in rebellion against a MASSIVE empire.
So the #1 slot is even worse because the source material actually DOES explore the concept better, but the anime didn't have time to get into any of that.

The thing that bothered me the most about High School Prodigies In Another World is that they decided to have the Politician double as the Military Tactician, those things don't overlap. History shows that Politicians often make the worst military commanders, political victories are not the same as military victories and they are measured by different standards and achieved by different methods. A Politician aiming for a political victory will squander and pass by Tactically superior methods and objectives, and ultimately never achieve a military victory.
There are a handful of exceptions in ancient Rome, but that's the exception because they treated political acumen as synonymous, meaning that they taught their politicians how to lead armies and their generals how to -bribe and bootlick their way into office- inspire people to vote for them. If you train enough multiclass General/Senators, some of them are going to get past the first tier in both of their classes.
Nah to be fair there many exception for example person like caesar proof to good at both of them
Depends. Sometimes former generals are elected to office. The US had Washington, Grant, and Eisenhower. Doesn’t excuse the rest of the show, though.

"This is what scraping the bottom of the barrel looks like after you've gone past all the wood"
That is my new favorite burn.
Agreed
one thing that bothers me is when a show just needs a small change to drastically improve it, like instead of making the highschool prodigies the good guys make them knowingly install our corrupt political systems explicitly for their own gain, you can have an interesting complex plans within plans for the first half and maybe some dissention among the main character and interpersonal conflict for the second. like heterochromia-kun becoming a dictator and the other need to use their skills to take him out such as:
-ninja journalist exposing political corruption and wrongdoing
-billionaire could go both ways using his wealth to influence politics for his benefit or remaining a business man while supplying a resistance with funding on the down low
-Samurai whamen and engineer wahmen can work with training and technological advancement for a resistance
-Medical wahmen can stick with heterochromia guy, she seems the most 1 note, and somebody has to stick with him to be the evil second in command
-and kill the kid magician since hes useless at the turning point of the story, at least he would have some use by upping the stakes and maybe a villain kicking puppies effect.
That sounds amazing! Only one downside though:
It will actually need writing skill
On another note:
Keep the magician kid around.
Show how he actually comes up with those trucks and illusions.
Have him go through an existential crisis as his entire world view is shattered, and have him learn a trial magic, combining the supernatural with the facade to become a wild card in this war, a jester if you will who will use his view on the world and illusions to show the foolishness of each and every other character.
Showing the redundancy of the characters for confirming to the same basic plots and cycles as humanity went through all along, even when given a second chance.
Keep him as the nihilistic jester who shows everyone their wrongdoings would give his character an actual, important role as an outside observer who could very well manipulate events to transpire worst case scenarios for each side and individual for amusement and to prove his point, while also avoiding needlessly killing him off for a kick the puppy moment.
@@alucard347 Holy shit....
I LOVE IT!
I don't even think the premise of this story is bad, just poorly executed. It doesn't need to change *this* drastically.
Or some existential crisis realizing that every system is corrupt and there isn’t a utopia and having to have “prodigies” reconcile with that and instead come up with the best ways to keep a system going the longest.
“Anti-twink discrimination.”
I’m going to use that line from now on.

The joke at 30:55 about Tsukasa killing Shinzo Abe has aged interestingly to say the least.
Oh NY
O_q
With how much Japanese society has basically implemented everything the assassin wanted by essentially banishing the Unification Church and its allies from public life (including Shinzo Abe's own brother), that guy might, like the anime character, become prime minister at this rate
@@WhyIsRUclipsSoTerrible Japan is about to just go nuts and make all their elderly compete in a battle royale for the position of prime minister
Thing I'm wondering is, was that Geoff? Or did the anime actually imply that Abe was said father somehow?
@@Brasswatchman I haven't watched the anime, but I _do_ have Wikipedia.
According to that font of data, _High School Prodigies_ began publication in 2015. Shinzo Abe was Prime Minister from 2012 to 2020, plus a couple of years in the oughts which are less relevant. HSP was written while Abe was in office, and he was a prominent politician since the 90's.
The way I see it, assuming the prime minister in HSP is supposed to be Shinzo Abe is kinda like assuming the black president in an American novel written in 2011 (or an anime movie from 2012) is supposed to be Obama. It's speculative, but it's not unreasonable speculation.
Though canonically, Tsukasa's family name is Mikogami and not Shinzo. So it would be a Tom Buck situation.

@@chestbumphero 😶
Why.
Another problem with the prodigy anime is a lack of understanding of how society evolves. You can't just transform a nation and culture that has only ever known absolute monarchy into a liberal democracy. The problems arise with the fact there is no evolution of government. Granted, while revolutions are generally throwing out the old and bringing in the new (america), they could only do so because of the social tensions and philosophocal thought to allow it. The american revolution for example came about after a good few centuries of being a colony, Britain was already the most democratic of the European empires (though it was abysmally undemocratic by today's standards) and the Enlightenment provided the critical thought to fuel a desire for change.
I don't want to sound like an obnoxious youtube commenter, the "look at me i'm smrt!" kind of guy, I just wanted to point that out as a history buff and politics student.
Besides, what really condemns that show is the fact that the political prodigy is apparently wanting to create a better world based on morality, going so far as to trust his former enemies who were saturday morning cartoon villains, when he himself murdered his father.
looks like someone did their homework (not trying to be sarcastic), unlike whoever created this show. haven't started watching yet but seems obvious at this point that they are going further than a normal power fantasy and are ignoring obvious flaws in an already oversimplified idea. as said above, the "hero's" ideals sound like something from miss universe when they are not that simple, with the politician being counterproductive, and the bussinessboy being hypocritical. here's hoping that these have a deeper meaning later than just being incompetent in their one job (ironic) but it doesn't look like that's going to happen
@@omicronrho9951 That would actually be a cool idea; to have these prodigy's think they can change the world in such a drastic way without any conception of the consequences they might incur. Like say if the politician's new cabinet turned on him in a power grab or if there was a revolt in desire for a unifying, king-like figure. I just don't think, from what I've seen, that's going to happen; rather than tell a story of hubris, the writers seem to be communicating a message of what a good government is without actually knowing what they think the perfect government is. Or it is just a power fantasy.
i tink isn't time the factor but development. liberalism and communism spread whit the industrual revolution, new tecnology means more educated pepole more educated pepole means political reforms.
you can't have a pepoles revolution whitout some kind of tecnological revulution.

There Is even the randomness of events such as the birth of a singular person than then creates an entire movement and particular events than remian impressed in pepoles minds such as the enlightment.
Mark Twain wrote one of the first time travel stories ever, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and the titular character's attempts to introduce liberal democracy to peasants and lords, uh...

Fanatical people can't live without putting its own ideology on everything that he talk about. Its like a dog that step on shit and run through the house. Its sad for the future of USA that this generation is radicalizating in a somewhat destructive ideology, but i can undestand, since every policy of wellfare state is been called "socialist", which, ironically, turns socialism into a palatable political position, instead of socialdemocracy.

I don't think that i need to say this, but what you consider being common sense is, nonetheles, just the average opinion of your social group, and although i know people how considere a socialist revolution something extreme, i also know socialists (in truth, marxists), and they also consider such a revolution something, as any kind of brutish change of regimen extremist.

Mermaids are also people, and people like to wear pretty clothes.

The problem with the Number 1 Anime is really simple.
People can't write characters that are truly more intelligent than they themselves are without research into and consultation about what those characters are supposed to be.
Research and consultation clearly was not done, and if it was, it wasn't done properly.
"Anime Bernie Sanders": I mean, wouldn't that just be an aging dude who basically steps into the protag role, since no one else will or everyone else is a villain? Actually, I'd be down for it, I mean, we even have the backstabbing friend arc.
1. Anime Bernie organizes a resistance movement against the Evil Empire
2. Anime Bernie is offered a deal and takes it, severing ties with the resistance
3. Anime Bernie realizes the error of his ways and convinces the group to take him back, but before he can reclaim a leadership role he needs to debate the 20+ people who have been trying to fill the power vacuum
4. Anime Bernie leads a desperate attack on the Evil Empire, but *le gasp* he was a plant the entire time! He retires to his 3 mansions, consuming daquiris with pinky extended
5. Anime Bernie's mentee, Crazy Eyes McGee, leads a force to attack Bernie directly, letting the resistance die for her own revenge. She shoots Bernie in the face, then herself in the head
@@KarmasAB123 That tbh sounds more like anime Pol Pot.
@@antonioscendrategattico2302 Really? I pulled it straight from Bernie's career.
@@KarmasAB123 Bernie's actual career is far les romantic than that.
What he did was trying to make the best out of a bad situation. He's not nearly as revolutionary as the world needs, but thinking that he's got "mansions" and has "betrayed" anyone is silly. He's got one townhouse in DC he needs because, y'know, he works there, one family home in Vermont and a tiny lakefront property he bought by selling a bigger house he and his wife inherited from her parents.
If that's "mansions", call me Jeff fucking Bezos because I'm partial owner of similar houses.
@@antonioscendrategattico2302 He's still a millionaire, telling us billionaires shouldn't exist. He still says we should get money out of politics while receiving donations from super PACs.

I'm disappointed the mermaid show was bad. I like mermaids, and they should be in more anime.
Could you imagine how pretty the animation could be using mermaids? The movement, the grace, twisting through the water with unmatched power and beauty? All the unique perspectives and environments offered by the underwater setting?
I know it’s late but mahoutsukai pretty cure does have a few mermaid episodes even if most of the time they have witch stuff
The spelling error in your name bothers me more than I would like to admit. GODDAMNIT!
There is a mermaid anime called muromi-san.
I'm a bit disappointed to, because I love cardfight vanguard (both the show and the card game) and would love to see more of the planet cray
"Just the tip of the yikesberg" is my new favorite expression.
"Do you Love your Mother" actually ended up not being as "incesty" as one would think given its premise. Instead it ended up being kinda boring.... and had a shockingly long "high school arch" for some reason. It had very little sword and sorcery relative to what the set up would imply, and just as little incest. I would not say that I WANTED an incest anime, because ew, but I couldn't help feel let down in some way. I wanted my train wreck, and I got a fender bender.
.... what are you doing here Dave? Degenerates only! /s
It was some BULLSHIT... Some bullshit I ended up completing...
@@dominiqueknight4356 Dumpster fire can warm the homeless, but if it's just trash it just smells becoming worse than nothing.
I had fun with the first arch, but the school arch was SO boring and badly written. About the last arch, it was better, but those random stereotypical moms ruined it.
@@sizematters20 lol I can like other things than what my channel is about. Frankly, I'm a big anime fan, and Jeff is a big reason for that.
[wið] would be pounced “weethe” with the vowel relatively clipped and “th” as in “this” or “that”. An actual approximation of what they say in the show would be [waɪð] or [waɪz].
ð is a pretty interesting sound in English. It's very rare with regard to how many different words it appears in, but when it does appear it's in frequently used words like "the". It was probably much more common in Old English.
@@Subvisual It was used up until the printing press. As the printing press was invented in europe where thorn wasnt used. So it was extremely common in new modern english till then. Around 1500-1600
@freddie patterson they were talking about the sound, not the letter
@@freddiepatterson1045 You are correct, except that that's actually an eth, not a thorn. This is a thorn: þ. It's used for the other, voiceless, th sound we have in English, like in "thing." Both are relatively rare sounds among the world's languages, which is why the printing presses on the continent didn't include them.
When in doubt use foreign characters for the sweet, sweet *_edge_*
This apparently applies just as much to Japan as America
4:11 Can I point out how they literally just recorded the inside of the 3D mesh when moving through the wall? They didn't just black out the screen as it passed through, they literally just dragged their camera object through the wall object and called it a day. Apparently these guys have hollow, paper-thin walls, how exciting!
Talk about lazy animation.
24:13 to 24:55
What the hell are you talking about, dude? Even if the rest of the show is bland and uninteresting, HAVING THE ENEMY SCHOOL’S TEAM BE THAT COMICALLY EVIL IS ACTUAL GOLD. If that scene was in a good anime, that would still be the best part, that’s fucking hilarious.
That’s why Inspector Gadget exists. That is literally the entire concept
Sheridan Mann Yeah, but you expect it in Inspector Gadget. This is a sports anime where you’d never expect it and that’s the brilliant part.
Emperor Ssraeshza I kinda want this to happen again in a better anime just to watch people endlessly praise it. That’d be pretty nice.
Yeah, hardly seems like worst of the year material; at least you can laugh at it.

@@Derasght stress is stress, and if you can't breathe for 5 minutes due to involuntary chest contractions, i would say that might stress your lungs and brain.
The reason the High School Prodigy anime is like that is because that's the same foundation that modern Japan is built on: All the same nobles and wealthy individuals who ran the country before the Meiji restoration and before WWII just took over again once the dust settled. The people making the anime probably DON'T think there's any possible world better than the status-quo.
I'm reminded of how Harry Potter spent 7 books and 8 movies where the one consistent theme was "the wizarding world kinda sucks" and then ended the series with "then all the kids grew up and married their high school crushes & nothing changed or got better."
Could make for a fun political satire. "I reincarnated in a fantasy land and then crushed all the joy and magic from it!"
I'm commenting again because I forgot that JKR decided to write a movie where the villain's evil master plan was to prevent the holocaust
@@Ninjat126 Yeah, the entire series was quite explicit that the big bad was in no way the only problem with the wizarding world. Like Dumbledore's speech about how the statue depicting happy cooperation between wizards, centaurs, and goblins was "a lie". And then at the end that all just gets brushed aside.

This is sadly more common than it seems. Some teams let go of players who are injured. The NFL was lousy with it, because players kept getting cut for injuries and not being brought back after their contract was up. A lot of players kept going into games with concussions, sprains, you name it. That and High School kids who feel like sports are their only ticket out of whatever problems they have in life do it too.

Anime pitch: the main character’s motivation is to finish a piece of magical graffiti as their magnum opus, except they (gender is irrelevant here) are a high-concept dreamer type who decided their magnum opus would be made with magical paint over basically every surface of the entire Judge Dredd-level OBEY MAH AUTHORITAY city they moved into specifically for this project.
The city police department, meanwhile, is made up entirely of every spin on the Lawful Good Paladin archetype that can be conceived, from ‘cool grizzled Dude who knows every loophole in the book but isn’t afraid to nut up when it comes time to Enforce The Law’ to ‘hateful rule monkey who will attempt to execute you for looking at them funny’.
Plot progresses, graffiti nears completion despite Law Enforcement’s best efforts, it develops that Graffiti Wizard has turned to art as a coping method after a much more classical-draconian government burned their own home down, leading sympathetic Law Enforcers to cut down on effort and start rethinking things. Character development all around, series ends with the completion of graffiti, turns out its great big scary magic effect was enforcement of truth. In one building. The government building. And only there.
Graffiti Wizard rides off into the sunset, leaving behind a changed town, and their FORMER magnum opus - already plotting their next way into the history books - and Law Enforcers end up taking over whole force/going into politics/retiring to become media personality/otherwise moving into more civically influential roles in their city, always remembering that strange, kooky person who just wanted everyone to be happy... and to be famous, because heck yeah, that’s awesome.

*Yawns and rubs sleep out of eyes. Blinks and rereads comment for the third time*
It's too damn early for this shit, I'm going back to bed.
I want to see an isekai where a talented illusionist (magician, not actual wizard) is chucked into a fantasy world with a sufficiently corrupt government, and the story follows their escapades as they go *full* phantom thief, using their incredible skills in practical effects and certain parts of the magic system to pull off seemingly impossible heists with style and panache. An important note for this to work is that the protagonist cannot have any cheat skill, and preferably doesn't even have access to the base magic system, instead forced to get by on trickery and what magic is possible without any mana.
Isn't that Wizard of Oz?
@@ExtremeMadnessX yes, but I want it from the perspective of the wizard
@@aldar8240 Isn't there a movie from a few years ago where "Wizard" is the main character, basically prequel to the original Wizard of Oz?
One of these days, someone is gonna have to explain to me what is Japan's deal with adults getting sexual with literally kids, or just kids doing The Sex in general.
Also, Isekai Cheat Magician had his childhood friend tag along?! Now I want an Isekai anime where a couple (regardless of whether they're a highschool couple or actual grown adults) gets transported/resurrected to your average fantasy world, and the two of them develop (equally) powerfully abilities. For bonus drama, have each of them of them be summoned by opposing factions at war with eachother.
That basically exists. It's Fushigi Yuugi. Technically, Miaka and Yui aren't a couple but there's plenty of fanfic that says otherwise, so...
@@whimsiary Dully Noted
Maybe something slightly happier than Fushigi Yuugi...
I think it's because japan used to allow consent at the age of 13. Most prefectures at this point in time have changed their laws to 18 unless sincere romantic feelings are involved and parents have given consent. Pretty sure pre ww2 it was pretty normal but take that with a grain of salt since I couldnt find anything concrete. Plus looking young is quite the thing in japan. Look at all their popular stars. There might be alot more to it but pretty sure it's just cultural differences.
Fushigi Yuugi has two best friends summoned to opposite sides of a feudal war.
“And yet they chose to go with the mermaid idols.” I mean, I know it’s been a hot minute since Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, but....
