Ranking of Kings is good, but once I learned about the actual undertones of xenophobia, and historical revisionist dog-whistling, I could never go back.
@@TheShazamProductions but at the same time you probably have to see it for yourself if what he's saying is true or not. Like maybe he is right and it does have stuff like that but at the same time he could be interpreting something in a different way to where he thinks that is what is happening since people see art/ storyteling in different ways
Ranking of Kings faced controversy due to parallels between its fictional countries and the Japan-Korea relationship. Critics claim it portrays the Gyakuza as deceitful and ungrateful toward the "helpful" Houma, echoing colonial narratives. The debate resurfaced after episode 18 of the anime featured visuals resembling colonial Korea
happy to see hasan saw ranking of kings and appreciated it
Yess, I'm so glad he found it and loves it. It's such a great anime, one of my favs.
Great show. The second OP is also 🔥
Aishitee shimaaa ta zenbuu zenbuu
the 1st is also epic by king gnu
I love Ranking of Kings, the art style reminds me of Babar if anyone remembers that show lol beautiful story
Hasan finally watching a good anime
Ranking of kings, a classic.
Ranking of Kings is very well regarded among Anime watchers, but I do think the intrincasies of the colonial war went right past their heads
I watched it when I was a fair bit younger and before I got Into politics so I don't remember any colonial aspects, I should rewatch it.
Such a goated anime, hope they come out with more episodes ;--;
Hasan should try more anime thats not hype big anime ones, i think theres plenty that he'll love
I hope hes listened to th 2nd OP. Its a certified banger
I hope we get a second season, the last one was okay. I want them to continue the story.
Rok damn good
RoK is incredibly underrated

That’s an insane thing to say without elaborating 😂

I always will recommend season 1 but season 2 goes downhill
That isn’t season 2. That is a spin-off comprised of character short stories. Season 2 hasn’t been released yet.
This is why representation matters. Big has was like this just like me
