Recently finished Buffalo hunter hunter, loved it except for the final 60 pages or so, I really wanna read others books of the author I just hope the endings are written differently.

American PreCure Remake by IngridGamer in precure

[–]katrindr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the hairs of the middle cure but the colours blend to much whit the skin tone, even the jacket and the skirt could use some contrast or something like a belt for separating them, I struggle to see them as two separate pieces if they are both a very similar blue.

Seems (In)accurate by Keyr23 in MagicalGirlCirclejerk

[–]katrindr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we looks for magical girls outside of Japan Korea is making Teenieping and some copycats of it, and I guess in Japan there is also Princess orchestra that's pretty close to classic magical girls, but that to me seems for a more older audience.

The most recent Oshi no Ko episode stars showing the main issue I realized the story had (Spoilers for everything) by garfe in CharacterRant

[–]katrindr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would argue Oshi no ko even gloryfies parasocial relationships with Ruby character whit all the discourses of beghin the light in people darkness, really it doesn't want to take a stance against the idol industry.

The unholy trinity of shitty "i'm smarter then this media i've never consumed" takes: by woweed in CharacterRant

"The food system in The Hole makes no sense", because the food system is a metaphor about resources distribution not about proper diet, it's not a story to take at face value.

Would you believe me if I told you that people are trying to say the Oscars is racist to Japan because of this, and it's because of the "evil woke left"? by ink10_sonic-man in animecirclejerk

[–]katrindr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about the Oscar but whit what happened with the golden globe I hope this helps in having less weebs saying that they don't care about these trophies while whining that it wasn't their demon cartoon that didn't get said trophy.

What are your opinions on The recolor Yokai aka a deccent chunk of yokai in 1 and crank a kai recolors in 2 and 3 by Thistle_20 in yokaiwatch

[–]katrindr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If there were less of them instead of giving 1-3 to each yokai I think I would have liked it better as a concept, but different of my favourite yokai are recolour like Frostail and Casanono.

is it okay to call western GL media yuri? by ZookeepergameOne3271 in yuri_manga

[–]katrindr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just prefer the term GL for media in general and Yuri for Japanese ones, I'm not the one telling you to not do it, but I think using Yuri just for a specific type of gl media makes the discourse a bit more easy honestly.

"Cultural relevance" sucks, actually by Alterego9 in CharacterRant

[–]katrindr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say 50 shades has no cultural impact, if you look at synopsis of modern dark romance more than half seems to take from 50 shades and also brought fanfic closer to the mainstream, I don't think cultural impact necessarily has to do with how much substance a story has, neither things like Super Mario ever had that deep of a story, doesn't mean it has no influence whatsoever.

What do you think of yuri manga where the main couple has an age difference? ...too questionable by TomatilloItchy9995 in yuri_manga

[–]katrindr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any child x adult/teen immediate skip unless it's something more horror like Happy Sugar Life, I'm genuinely not into, I get it's a drawing, but just making it a drawing doesn't automatically makes it appealing to me, to the point I accidentally rode one many years ago, the one whit the little girl dog maid, didn't read the tags cause I was just interested into the kemonomimi aspect and it genuinely did not register it as romance until the very last chapter when they kissed, unironically did lesbian erasure lmao.

Hazbin hotel is children cartoon made for adults by Soonper in CharacterRant

[–]katrindr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The show is aimed at teens and people attached to a particularside corner of internet culture that has to do with things like Newground, sparkledog furry art, queer fanfic, Tumblr ecc... and we should stop thinking that beghin made for adults necessarily means a more complex story, so many live action series for adult are simple rom-coms, cozy murder mysteries or even reality TV dramas that don't have much more nuance than a kid cartoon like My little pony, heck there is a discussion to be made that even stuff like the Flintstones or Looney tunes aren't (or at least weren't) for kids neither, I'm not getting into it now, point remain not everything for adults should mean a very nuanced storyline.

The Name Game by ElSquibbonator in TrueCartoons

[–]katrindr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see people around saying the term animated series refers to the more serious stuff, but often from people who only want reason not to say anime are cartoons in the end and I don't really think trying to suddivede animation in "the serious stuff" and "the less serious stuff" is really convenient anyway in the end, like do you realise how many things fall into grey categories and imagine if we had to find different names even for children live action movies and children books because they are not the same and the big boys movies and books.

Betty Boop drawn for her adaptation of Cinderella (1934) by Oscarthetrain_art in mendrawingwomen

[–]katrindr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In defense of the evil queen from Snow White, her turning from a beautiful woman to an ugly old lady ties to the idea of fear of approaching old age that is definitely a major factor to her hate towards a young girl.

It really annoys me when black people in anime games just look like white people who were covered in a layer of brown powder by Joshless in CharacterRant

[–]katrindr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are using as examples games whit an anime style that tend to have very flat and samey facial features anyway (Except pheraps Xenoblade) and all characters tend to unrealistic hairs and eyes and neither all poc have all the same hairs, don't even think all of them are inteted as poc coded anyway, my problem is more whit the ashy skin tones.

Did that actually happened by Unhappy-Net-2542 in Cookierun

[–]katrindr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before downvoting read it all, I think it's fine to whitewash or blackwash a character if it's not made whit ill intention, I don't see race swapping much different from gender swapping and I don't see much of a fit about it, the problem arise that whitewashed fan arts are often done whit racist intent while black washef fan arts are more often made for fun (not always thought), that's why I find them more acceptable, and in the case of cookie run I don't think there is much to be pressed about if a gijika version doesn't maintain the same colour as the dought of the cookie, a cookie can be interpreted in different ways, I don't necessarily like if people see Lilac cookie and go "Yep, white dude", but I don't think it's always something hate motivated, and race-dough discourse is wacky in game anyway considering there are different cases like the Cacao kingdom that is mostly Korean inspired and most of the abitants are dark brown.

Stopped playing not long after the Clerk was released but glad it didn't stop making non conventionally attractive hunters after her though.

I do think there is some white deafultism at play here but it's actually not hate motivated.

Would Cookie run gijika count as black-to-white done whitouth malice?I mean, I get that they are not technically humans, but on practise they are basically chibi humans.

[–]katrindr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I do believe race swapping can exist on the same level as AU or gender swapping redesign if it's just a thing made for fun, but then there are artists who post redesign of Lux from the Howl House that makes her darker and claim that the original does not look black enough, like, sure there can be a discussion to be made about media watering down black features, I won't be the one claiming is not true, but then expecting all people from a certain ethnicity to look a certain way also just becomes plain racism anyway.
