Someone said: "Nana has things seen as problematic now and a cultural gap." An attitude that seems present now in reading books. Sad. Fiction has never complied to a moral or cultural standard. It's only 'standard' is a creative goal, whether creation of a character or a story, moving or disturbing.

This is why their fight against piracy is disingenuous in my eyes.
They can't keep crying about piracy when they are fighting for poor quality translations to hit the international market.
They already have a poor accessibility issue with manga entering international markets, this doesn't help.

As the threat of AI translations and subtitles keeps rising, at some point we need to have the conversation about how the push for these are coming more from JP producers and publishers rather than western ones because the reality is Japan generally doesn't care that much about localization quality
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥

Man...this is all a nightmare. I never stopped just using fansubs and their uploads from nyaa, but i know a lot of people these days dont know how to torrent or find quality translation groups. :/ but this shows the major problem with a company lile crunchyroll having such a huge monopoly on anime

クィアの物語を一般誌で売るのはかなり大変だと思います。分厚い壁が何枚もあり、この作品がアニメ化までしてもらえたのは奇跡的です。色んな人の大変な尽力と、マイノリティの物語だからといって低く見積ったり限界を決めたりせずに応援してくれた読者さんたちのおかげだと思います。
なんかブルースカイで語るのがこういうことばかりで恥ずかしいですが。

Attack on Titan poses the question if death can be reparation for one's crime. Can be, but will it serve justice? Will it be sufficient? Commensurate? It's dependent on the crime's gravity, not only the act itself but also its consequences. The series ironically betrays that death is not reparation.
Attack on Titan's tragedy is anchored on specific offenses that violate what can be humanly handled and naturally allowed. They're the driving force of the story's dilemma and pain, and Eren Jaeger's fall. It calls into question what can be borne and committed by humans before the collective breaks.

Still, JJK is a traditional series. Its protagonist, Itadori Yuji, the series's heart, embodies strength and kindness. A balance of toughness and gentility, he has both qualities needed to fend off evil and care for the vulnerable. That he ultimately survives is an affirmation of JJK's moral ground.
Probably needless to say that Gojo's death is unsurprising, even predicated from the start. Anything 'strongest' must break. In fact, it's a law of nature. Traditional. So, his death is the traditional outcome. Its execution and pacing may be the issue, but these are also characteristic of Gege.
Gege seems to be frequently breaking out of the linear narrative, disrupting a plotline by breaking expectations, disturbing linear logic and causality, and leaving open, unfilled parts of this plotline. He invents a new thing, adding and adding then interrupting. JJK's ending then is unsurprising.

JJK's writing doesn't comply with traditional narrative. Instead, it's inclined to the segmented kind, more fitting an episodic structure or shorter arcs (culling games arc is long but composed of various battles). Unpredictable and erratic, it disturbs linear development and inclines to the absurd.

Attack on Titan breaks the easy assumption that compatibilism is fate being the same as what's willed and desired by a person, i.e. an absolute equivalence. The series dares to hint inner agony a person endures and disbelief and dissent a person harbors as they fall into the trap of false necessity.
Another breach of Attack on Titan is its contradiction of showing a villain, conforming to genre expectation, while expounding on the context that caused the catastrophe, pointing with an invisible finger at the collective conditions that 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 a catastrophe. Its dual message may or may not be read.
One offense is Eren, a human, is bestowed the ability to see past and future: a sense of 'complete time'. No mortal will be able to survive it, not without harm to sanity. And while given a god's power to see, he nevertheless has a human's powerlessness to 'fate' and human's accountability.

The Summer Hikaru Died is about carving a home in a place stifling and inhospitable, with all-pervading eyes that constantly surveil, scrutinize and pass judgment, for sameness and compliance are expected. In such a place, a spot of mercy may be found, through unrelenting endurance in hopelessness.

Another offense of Attack on Titan is the invisibility of the many major political actors, alliances and institutions that propagate ethnic discrimination and ethnic cleansing. They were hinted, but the highlight it gives to one villain represses the real accountability and villainy of these actors.

I've observed it enough times to be able to say that backlash is harsher if the essayist is a woman. I've seen men essayists on YT make bad analyses based on poor observations and unchecked biases yet don't receive the same intensity of dissent. Sadly, they even sway people to view the way they do.
If Rimbuk focused on one series and one conceptual frame, she could have made a strong, evidence-based argument. A series may have viewership across genders and ages (girls included) but still have objectification, even in moments. Camera shots and mood indicate if objectification is present, e.g.
