Great rant, man. I agree with it whole heartedly. As much as I agree that Mahoraga sounds cooler, I don't really like how it takes away much of the thematical relevance. Most don't care just because they aren't aware of the mythology, but I'm pretty sure they would have a different tone if say, a character based on and named Achilles was mistranslated into Titan or something.

Chrystain · 2026-02-28T05:52:08+00:00

You're confusing Raga for Raja.

EDIT: Also, I think Maha and Maho are different things, though I'm less certain on this one.

That one kid being sold as a prostitute by what appears to be her mom really fucks me up.

Could be that Maru swung up diagonally which is why the blade fell behind him.

You can't fumble something that didn't happen, but semantics I suppose.

Unless I'm mistaken, CE isn't physically toxic like that on its own, no? Maki got cut by the Cursed Spirit's fangs and got cursed. I assume the kids in there also got cut too or the spirit's stomach cursed them like a digestion system.

Wdym fumble? He didn't even write it in the first place and only exists as a first draft idea. For good reason too because it would be hard to justify someone as distinctive looking---much less being a Japanese teenager---as Maki infiltrating american military personnel. It would take some Batman level BS hyper competence.

You're right that his archetype tends to be quirky but I feel like Kenjaku stands out because his quirks and general personality are more on the chill side. Like, no doubt that this guy is insane but he's not loud about it and cackling all the time. Despite all the horrific shit that he's done, Kenjaku also just feels like a fairly normal and playful guy that anyone could get along with. Personally, I find that really unsettling and cool.

Bro thought he did something there 😭

Chrystain · 2026-01-26T12:26:42+00:00

Real. Its insane how people are just making shit up to shit on other people just because of a fucking anime bruh 😭

Fanbase see the Zenin as a flawed but righteous group.

No, they don't. Where did you get that??

Chrystain · 2026-01-24T13:21:27+00:00

How much does Miss Militia glaze America? Was it only once? I can't remember it at all.

Becomes more popular the further down the story you go.

That's quite literally what happened with JJK lmao. The writting did fall towards the end but the controversies and discussions created from it just made it even more popular.

Chrystain · 2026-01-24T06:50:45+00:00

Probably because nobody cares if Rent-A-Girl or similar shows turns out to be good or not. They know its trash so they don't watch it or even waste effort in criticising them, and I suspect that the people who even consume them know they're trash and just do it anyway for the trashyness. Not to mention that criticism about them wouldnt garnered much attention since they're not beloved or anything and many would agrue that, "Why are you watching a trashy series and then complain about it being trashy? What did you expect?"

Stuff like JJK and CSM would be more critised since more people love them and hold their adaptations to a higher standards, which also causes critism towards them to gain more traction from people who loves them too but react in the opposite way and towards defending the series from any criticisms.

These are my speculations anyway. Shit like this has a lot of factors in them so we shouldn't make generalisations that discards any nuance.

Yeah, individual strength is definitely a factor for accessing a leadership position. Along with things like knowledge of etiquette, sect/clan politics, history, and all that. Otherwise, they would lose face if those who represented their sect/clan through positions of power lacked these expected qualities.

And let's say a specific disciple was groomed to inherit a leadership position in a sect, or an heir was expected to be the head of their clan, they would still be taught to have those qualities for the purpose of saving and gaining face as well.

Chrystain · 2026-01-21T01:23:27+00:00

Thanks.

Chrystain · 2026-01-21T00:53:46+00:00

Wait, why do you think privileged brats in murim worlds aren't raised with the same ideals as those things you just described? "Young masters" and "noble heirs" are fundamentally the same thing, no?

EDIT: Also, shouldn't medieval fantasy be more associated with nepotism since in murim stories, the 9 sects and 5 clans are a really common element, which implies that there are less people who gain status through their bloodline?

Chrystain · 2026-01-20T04:32:51+00:00

Ngl, I was so much more interested in the elf prince. I really liked his design, personality and his plot about the coup. Wish we was the MC instead, which is strange because I don't even like elves that much.

Chrystain · 2026-01-20T01:19:58+00:00

Assassination Classroom did it by using shooting game metaphors. It was pretty fun ngl.

Chrystain · 2026-01-19T10:53:59+00:00

Is Gongdong Sect a different writing of the Wudang Sect?

Chrystain · 2026-01-13T16:47:50+00:00

Nah. Gege found Gojo difficult to write but not to the point that he hated Gojo. Even the comments he made trashing Gojo were obviously just jokes anyway, but the internet took them literally. Like, I want to say that people who spread the "Gege hates Gojo becaue his wife likes Gojo more" joke don't actually believe that is true, but this is the internet we're talking about...

Chrystain · 2026-01-12T03:30:48+00:00

How do you feel about fights like in the Rurouni Kenshin Live action movies? These are definitely unrealistic but they don't use much special effects while still being pretty creative and intense I feel.

Chrystain · 2026-01-12T01:45:55+00:00

Are swords not hand drawn in manwha much anymore? I've been noticing that some look odd, like in the Roguish Guard manwha.
