>makes an anime about Japan's workaholic culture >refuse to talk in depth about said topic
Why is it anime is so scared to talk about real life issues? I would find this show much more better if senko would actually tackle real world problem while staying wholesome ... it's not that hard, why ... just why ...
I think because its target public is people who just arrived home after an entire day of hard work. Its made to get people comfy and happy, and it has been wonderful in this aspect, I watch it with a big smile on my face during the whole episode.
Juan Bennett
But it is tackling real life issues? Are you autistic?
It's a compelling piece about man's endless struggle to achieve pure enlightened fluff.
>literally just a fluffy feel-good show with no plot or anything >why doesn't it talk in depth about real life social issues Are you retarded?
Joseph Taylor
It would have been good if the character designs weren't shit
Kayden Turner
>take something enjoyable intended for escapism >lets inject real world issues you are trying to escape from into it wonderful idea and totally not the reason I've actively avoided any sort of western media for years
Mason Rivera
not all things must have a grand purpose you retard faggot. Dont believe everything to what your dumb professor is instilling to your mind
Nolan Anderson
It's targeting low life neets so why doesn't it attract to low life neets problem. At this point it's just becoming another monster musume reboot.
It's really sad that once a good ongoing manga gets an anime, the discussions are dragged down forever, even after the anime stops airing.
Ryan Gomez
>why isn't this happy fantasy story going the way I want it to go >I would find this show much more better Your opinion is irrelevant. >... it's not that hard, why ... just why ... Go ahead, post your 'improved' version of the story and go into little detail, not just vague 'just do this, it's so easy easy'.
Jacob Clark
>usually don't read manga >read senko for a while long before any anime announcement >enjoyable experience while posting >anime shows up >things go to shit as one would expect
Andrew Sullivan
Never said I hate it, it's a cute show, but however it takes more than "cute" to make a show interesting, this is just moe because it is tagged and drawn moe, I consider nothing deep about it, neither is it trying to convey a message and in the end it just becomes dry. But of course these shows always come, I hope we get some good stuff in the future.
Hudson Miller
Please turn yourself into a statistic.
Benjamin Torres
Japan never discuss their own problems. They pretend they don't exist in the first place
Jaxson Green
do you realize Anno literally already did that and it backfired in the most spectacular way imaginable
Matthew Robinson
Escapism of this caliber is far more interesting than LE EPIC STUDY OF THE HUMAN CONDITION XDDDD.
I fucking hate people like you so much. Stop snorting your professor's farts you fucking faggot
Camden Gonzalez
>Every show needs to have a message to keep my attention Fucking pretentiousfag. Go back to circlejerking over The Fault In Our Stars or some shit.
Lucas Ramirez
Is the "everything is/should be political" movement the absolute worst idea that's come out of contemporary thought?
Grayson Roberts
that's not contemporary thought unfortunately
Colton Morris
So you just want escapism? And why can't anime or manga be political? Sanctuary was very political and it was great manga.
Henry Green
modernists such as these faggots who see everything as materialistic should hang on a rope. >hurr everything should be an examination of human's ways to consume
is it ethical to kill these people? You modernist pretentiousfags should kill yourselves
Jason Myers
shut the fuck up you fucking faggot and go back to r.eddit
Samuel Baker
>Muh "everything must be political" This train of thought has actively dissuaded tons of people from caring about politics. It's why so many people can't be arsed to vote, because they're tired of being force-fed this garbage. Fuck off and leave it alone.
Kayden Smith
no I want to neck you fucking nigger
Nathaniel Rodriguez
Make your own fucking manga then you god damn cockmongler.
Caleb Rogers
Does anyone have an exploitable version of this image?
Trust me, even if I could I never would, with Japan's current economy and slave labor mentality i'd be better off making a living being the emperors dog, and this exactly what the problem is these people spend all their life making manga and anime and getting cucked while at it yet refuse to talk about, it just shows how screwed up the Japanese mentality can be like.
>what is manga >what is learning to draw >what is LN >what is WB fuck off you lazy bastard,you just want an anime,if you don't want to give it effort then don't complain about the ones who do it.
Why does Yea Forums get so defensive over this? Nobody has said that this one series should be more realistic but that there should be more manga or even like it.
So should anime and manga not have any kinda realism in it and everything must be escapism?
Well not this series has to be realistic but i think more manga or anime at least should make some kinda satire of modern japan. Can japan even make satire?
Easton Smith
its not about workaholism. its about alienation and lack of purpose. workaholism is as much a symptom as a cause.
Lucas Miller
It tackled a lot of serious contemporary issues; MLM scams, gold farming, vidya addiction, suicide pacts, etc. It was far from just a comfy escapism show like Senko is.
Michael Ross
Oh so this is just turning into a /r/ thread then.
Fuck off to
Michael Lee
In terms of that girl will come to your door and help you? Sure but it did have some criticism about japanese society and their culture which is why a lot people liked it.
John Brown
How is this turning into /r/ thread? I just asked if japan can make satire.
Ethan Kelly
They can.
Owen Nguyen
anyone who brings up any sort of political topic unsolicited or adds it to a piece of entertainment without a cigarette carton tier warning should be summarily executed
why is Yea Forums full of so many seething passive-agressive people these days
Alexander Baker
Because shitbags like you and OP exist.
Wyatt Powell
>Why is it anime is so scared to talk about real life issues? because that would actually require the viewer to stop drooling at the foxgirl on-screen for 5 seconds and use their brain for once
that isn't going to fly with the otaku that buy this stuff
So there should be no politics even any kinda that criticize thing in society in anime or manga?
William Collins
It isn't about Japan's workaholic culture or any shit like that. The author wanted to make a manga about a guy being pampered by a fox lolibaba. Nothing more to it than that.
Dylan Taylor
people here get really butthurt at the mere insinuation of taking away their hugbox
Jayden Gomez
As far as this show is going, it's predicable (which is fine) what could be improved is to make senko more curious about nakedo work life since this literally her only purpose on this show, is to relax nakedo but it is very dry since she isn't aware of this and acts oblivious (800 years btw) even tho she's been watching him for a long time for example: Why is Nakano working so hard? Why must he work so hard? what benefit does it do to work hard? and how can senko improve nakano improve lifestyle to better accommodate with his time, so far this show is only monopolizing on the whole 800 year old loli doing "motherly" work, which is totally fine but then it gets dumb when you know that an 800 year old loli God doesn't do much rather than fluff, clean and give back wash
>Retard, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT'S ABOUT!!!!
To make senko better first of all make her act as of someone who is 800 years old and a mother, someone who is wise and careful in her years, always looking out, being very sharp, good hearing knowing how to properly act things out and clean things, this is of course the whole motherly side of her
and as for her girlfriend/wife side as she claims, this is done well but not well enough, while she is loving and caring there is little to her character, she doesn't feel real, whenever she gets mad it gets replaced with moe, whenever she shows signs of caring it gets replaced with moe_face.jpg rather than sitting down and exploring what makes her moe and interesting (backstory, personality, deep dedication to her work ((which she does well)) ) it just gets replaced with moe. and as a wife she never talks with nakado about his future or his plans for his life, such as expenses, kids and his philosophical thinking that keeps him going and working at a crappy job? why doesn't he strive for another field? how is this affecting his mental health overall? but this failed to be touched on the show ... sadly
Carter Johnson
Pt 2
If senko is a wife/girlfriend and a mother her character dryness starts to show when all she can do is nothing more than moe, this is not what makes moe moe. Thus in conclusion, to make this show better start by making senko what she is portrait to be, not what the fans portrait her to be.

Jonathan Williams
Sounds like a show for retards. She doesn't talk about it because she already understands. She doesn't ask because she already knows. That's why she's doing the only thing she can do, fluffy healing.
Apply yourself you fucking inbred.
William Gonzalez
LEAVE MY FUCKING ANIME ALONE ALREADY DOES EVERY SINGLE TYPE OF MEDIA NEED TO TURN TO THE SAME SHIT
Because it has always been like this. Come on your new is showing now
Kevin Morales
No it hasn't, I've been here over a decade and this place used to be way more laid back
Josiah Barnes
>having a character study on a show about a loli fox god
this is why meguca is far superior. This fucking board is infested with pretentious redditors. Im out of this shithole
Oliver Foster
>I've been here for a decade
your new is showing
Ethan Butler
Tell me one good reason why anime have to just be escapism? Why can't it be both?
Dylan Cook
I said over
Luke Morales
See you tommorow.
Matthew Morgan
kind of hard to take that swing when it's essentially the government's fault...and they're not shy about censorship (i.e. their removal of porn for the upcoming Olympics)
Luis Robinson
Because it isn't just about escapism?
Chase Morgan
because you cant have both. Also, all fiction are escapist. "Realism" is an ilussion
Nicholas Diaz
Here's a real life issue : Why do people who watch anime still consider themselves American? I can't think of anything worse than a national cuck. Literal traitors to your country. You worship the culture and art of a squint-eyed, same-faced people, yet you truly believe American citizens would be at fault if they beat you, your pets, and your mother to death.
Blake Morgan
...
Thomas Collins
>why can't anime or manga be political? Because i don't want it to turn into the same cancer as western media? Btw, ''be political'' is codeword for ''be used as propaganda for my idiology''.
So I'm not the only one who wishes more shows would dive as deeply into their topics as possible, shining lights into the dark corners of human suffering? Nice.
Aaron Collins
ok OP, no need to samefag now
Tyler Torres
Sure it can be political, but this anime/manga is not nor does it try to be. Some things should be political and something should be apolitical. This is an anime/manga that is designed to cater towards overworked salarymen who are barely getting by and gives them a form of escapism. That's all there is to it, nothing more nothing less. Whether or not you think that's good or bad is your problem. I'm sure that there's plenty of other works that address social issues.
Because it's a commercial product intended to sell BD discs and other merch to those overworked wage slaves, not solve their issues.
>... Kill yourself.
Adam Young
Why can't this anime be escapism? Why can you look for realism and social commentary somewhere else in some other anime?
Sebastian Phillips

Zachary Wood
>insisting your entertainment create the illusion that you're engaging with serious social issues by sitting on your couch and watching cartoons It's a cartoon. It doesn't have the power to make the world a better place. All it can do is provide some peace and comfort to people who do have that power, and many would say it does that quite nicely.
Jason Cook
Oh fuck off. Not everything modern western entertainment is "SJW". Don't assume shit if you don't watch any of that.
Joshua Morgan
Anytime a manga gets an anime adaptation, that's basically a death sentence for the threads. Fucking secondaries and other trash come in and ruin everything. Every time.
So you want this comfy slice of life anime to include exhaustive intellectual dialogue focused on metaphysics and ethics, surrounding issues of polarizing controversy and incomprehensible complexity. >>My child-like, impressionistic views of real life issues should be inserted into this anime and the only explanation for they are not is obviously conspiracy.
maybe because it's a fucking cartoon holy shit you pretentious ass why do your fucking cartoons need to be serious, they're fucking cartoons >b-b-but anime isn't cartoons anime is literally the japanese word for cartoon fuck off
Ayden Brooks
>ONLY 80% of western media is full of muh progress propaganda, i swear! Not making much of a case why i would want this in anime/manga.
Eli Howard
Well duh, you can't expect japan to just NOT make it's citizens work 120 hours a week. That would be dishonorobru.
Just keep making workers do that, and instead of ever actually fixing the problem just create entertainment to distract the workers from how awful their lives are.
Noah Lee
I agree. I just wish there was more stuff like Sanctuary or if there is i wish it would get translated.
Jack Williams
It is targeting low life neets though. It wants to convince them that they need to work to get that fluff.
Jeremiah Jackson
I didn't say this anime can't be escapism.
David Lee
What? I just asked.
Ryan Gonzalez
It's really not. At least not intentionally. If you had actually read the manga instead of being a filthy secondary you would know this.
It can't be both? Or should live action only does that?
Mason Mitchell
Because the author dictates how the story progresses, and he finds that this is the peak comfiness that could ever be. So he made it like that. And >... Fuck off newfag
Tyler Adams
It is even lower than that. But who said it needs be about left leaning politics.
Easton Morgan
So what if this author starts making this manga more serious, would you still read it?
Dominic Richardson
I don't think live-action is any better. If you want to learn about issues watch a documentary or read non-fiction. There's nothing wrong with serious topics in fiction, but I don't see any special value in doing so.
Christian Taylor
What if I sucked cock would I still love pussy?
Alexander Russell
>who said it needs be about left leaning politics. >Why isn't x political Is a typical leftist talking point in the west, and they are the ones who ruined western media. That's probably why this suggestion gets so much pushback. Add to that you suggesting that a healing anime gets turned into social issues wank, and you're not going to make people agree with you on here.
Jack James
What is this image from? I googled and reversed image search for a Nazi witch manga but I had no luck. It looks like a really funny manga to read.
Leo Reed
that's because Japan is already fucking aware of how awful its own work ethic is.
That's like Americans making a movie about environmentalism and refusing to talk in depth about environmentalism
Hunter Robinson
>Why is it anime is so scared to talk about real life issues? Because you're looking at slice-of-life moeshit and expecting it to be serious. It's a show about a guy that has a cute loli fox girl pampering him, why the hell do you need to adopt a serious tone with that?
Robert Stewart
Witch Vasenka's War
One day i will find the complete translation
Jason Long
>they are the ones who ruined western media Nobody has ruined anything. You can still find tons of movies that aren't left leaning or any political leaning. >Add to that you suggesting that a healing anime gets turned into social issues wank, I am not OP who says this anime should be more serious. I am just saying that i wish there was more serious topic kinda manga or anime. Doesn't have to be political.
