It's just as well that you're taking a break from Overlord. S3 is still airing, after all. I'd recommend Pop Team Epic first, personally.

It’s true! I forgot about that :P

And yes! Pop Team Epic will be easy to review I think so I can start picking up the pace with something simple ^_^

[anime-contentwarnings]

Thank you all so much for the patience!

Now that I’m used to the new schedule with my part time job this blog can now return from the semi-hiatus!

I will leave overlord season 3 for a while to avoid burning myself out and instead try to review other anime. Might start with Mob Psycho 100 and Pop Team Epic, but I’m open to suggestions!  

[anime-contentwarnings]

Overlord (Season 2)

This season contains the same amount of violence, as well as some discussion of serious content. There’s also some heavily implied unsafe content, although it hasn’t quite resolved/concluded.

Summary

Lord Ains Ooal Gown continues his quest for conquering the world. This time he will face some tribes of lizardmen and a group of organized crime leaders.

Unsafe content

Pedophilia: Sebas Tian, one of Ains’s servants, rescues a victim of sex trafficking. Her age is not outright stated, but she looks like a teenager. She falls in love with him, and he doesn’t reciprocate, but doesn’t refuse her either. Other characters tease him about her getting married.

There is also a discussion about royal marriage of a teenager/young adult with a 5 year old child.

Incest: None

Sexual assault/rape: The second half of the season talks openly about a sex trafficking ring, as well as the injuries caused to one of the victims. It’s never explicitly shown or treated as other than negative and immoral.

Abusive relationships: Implied. One character is a “yandere” who is possessive about her love interest. She has only talked about her plans so far.

Sexism/homophobia/etc: None

Other content warnings

Just a quick update!

Private life got in the way so the upcoming review will take a bit longer

Sorry for the wait! I’ll try to get things move faster soon enough <3

[deerbait]

ill be real those posts going around directed towards “younger people in fandom” about how its Okay To Enjoy Problematic Things In Fiction make me wildly uncomfortable bc ive seen 0 posts for younger fandom members about how older people will find you enjoying your “problematic faves” and will groom you into thinking these things Are okay in real life and put you in really dangerous situations

if an older fandom person comes to you talking about their Problematic Trash Ships or Gross Nasty Trash Kinks Ohoho dont talk to them, block them if they keep trying to talk to you after you’ve told them you’re uncomfortable

there’s no reason why they should be talking to you, a minor, one-on-one like that rather than other older people, and their Problematic™ shit like underaged pairings and incest and violent abusive ships are Not okay, there is no real world where you’ll go and talk to an adult and they’ll tell you you’re overreacting about an incestuous or pedophilic ship making you uncomfortable

dont talk to adults who make you feel like youre overreacting over things that make you uncomfortable

[anime-contentwarnings]

Sorry to be a bother, but when is your Overlord S2 review coming out? You said it was coming soon, but that was almost two weeks ago.

it’s not a bother! I’m sorry for the lack of updates, work got me exhausted and before I realized two weeks had passed...

It’ll be done this week, between today and tomorrow ideally ^_^

[xenosaurus]

honestly, I think fandom terminology really fucks up discussions about what people are actually DOING.  we’re all so deep down a hole of excuses and weird subculture norms that it’s hard to actually talk about it.

“shipping” sounds benign because it’s fun nerd slang.  “it’s just shipping” is thrown around to defend some pretty nasty pedo behavior because it compresses and sterilizes what people are actually upset about.

when some grownass adult says they ship shiro with one of the teenagers he taught when he was an instructor, or mob with reigen, or all might and midoriya, or ANY ship like that, what they’re actually saying is “I saw a relationship in a fictional work between an adult and a child under their care, and I really enjoy thinking about what it would be like if that adult sexually abused that child.  I look for or produce content where this happens.”

it doesn’t matter if you’re shipping them aged up or at a canon point where the child is of legal age (they were still a child under that adult’s care at some point!  “waiting until they’re legal” is fucking grooming!).  it doesn’t matter if you write the relationship as healthy (which is pedophile propaganda anyways) or unhealthy ~for the angst~.  what matters is you looked at that relationship and wanted to see those two characters interact in a way that makes the adult a goddamn pedophile and the child a victim.

you can make whatever arguments you want about fiction and reality being separate.  they’re all bullshit, but even if they weren’t, it’s still fucking vile behavior from anyone old enough to know better.  people are right to be disgusted by it.  that’s a NORMAL reaction.  you can’t compare it to enjoying horror movies either, because in that comparison people would have to be watching horror movies because they saw a comedy movie about a babysitter watching some misbehaved kids and spent the whole time thinking “it would be way better if someone came in and murdered her, where can I find THAT movie?”

also pedo apologists will be blocked on sight, don’t bother writing me any essays, I’m ranting about how disgusting you are, not starting a debate

[iflewbikes-deactivated20181005]

When men talk of women and girls in terms of legal/not legal, what they’re really saying is “I already sexually objectify this child and would attempt to fuck her if there were no laws in the way.”

You can’t deny that is fucking scary.

[darkmarxsoul]

Sometimes there are things that just sort of vaguely seem wrong, but you can’t put your finger on why…until it’s worded like this, and suddenly everything slides into place and you feel like someone punched you in the gut.

Minor update

Hello! I hope you’re having a good summer!

So the news is I’ve finally found a job and these days have been hectic for me as it’s my first job ever! It will only be for a month, finishing around mid september, but in the meantime I will have to slow down on this blog. I’ll still be active and answer asks though!

Thanks for your understanding!

ps: expect a review of Overlord season 2 soon!

[anime-contentwarnings]

Can i just like, throw a buncha anime recs at you bsjsgdhdnk

Yes! Go ahead ^_^

[anime-contentwarnings]

Overlord (season 1)

This anime has a lot of violence and blood slpatters. While I would’t consider it gore, I still kept track of the most violent parts. Aside from that, it does have a couple of tasteless jokes that -thankfully- are rather punctual

Summary

As the mmorpg Yggdrasil shuts down, a player decides to stay online until the last moment. What he doesn’t expect is suddenly being trapped in his online avatar - a skeleton mage - and the game NPCs becoming sentient.

Unsafe content

Pedophilia: One of the protagonist’s servants, an immortal vampire with the body of a teenager girl, comments in episode 1 that she’s had a “panty accident” due to having a crush on the protagonist. Nothing is shown and no child characters are sexualized.

Incest: None

Sexual assault/rape: None. In episode 1, the protagonist asks for permission before touching a woman’s breasts.

Sexism: Minor case, a bit of a nitpick. There are not many female characters and the most significant ones are the main character’s servants.

Transphobia: Possibly? One of the child characters is an “otokonoko” (boy that dresses in women clothes) He is never made fun of or sexualized, but in episode 1 it’s implied he was forced into that by the player who created him.

Other content warnings

Violence, cartoon blood: Found in episodes 3, 4 , 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12

Decapitation:

Episode 3 - min 14

Episode 4 - min 13

Episode 6 - min 9

Episode 10 - min 7 and 16

Amputation: Episode 10 - min 7

Teeth trauma: Episode 9 - min 8

Eye trauma: Episode 6 - min 20

Child death: Episode 8 - min 6. His corpse is briefly shown.

Body horror: Episode 10 - min 7. A character “absorbs” another when the victim touches her breasts.

I see you have Boundary of Emptiness on your watch list, so I'm curious; how do you intend to go about it? Just binge all 10 movies, or space them out between others?

to be honest, I have no idea

I’ll probably space them out unless there’s a reason not to

Anyone familiar with the movies wanna offer some advice?

[anime-contentwarnings]

Finished watching the first season of Overlord

Despite some... questionable minor stuff I’ve found it mostly safe. It does have a lot of violent moments so I’ll add warnings for those

I’ll try to get the review done by tomorrow!

[henstomper]

me: hey please dont use the word “trap”, its really dehumanizing and has extremely offensive connotations guy with an anime of the week icon and a list of waifus in his blog description:

[henstomper]

me: hey, using futa to refer to trans women is kinda gross too because it reduces us to a fetish object

someone that looks and acts exactly like the first guy but is actually a different dude:

[anime-contentwarnings]

I’m not sure if you’ve made a post abt Devilman Crybaby but it’s definitely unsafe, with sex scenes/images with minors, and even implications of the main character r*ping a villain

I haven’t talked about it but I did see it a while ago and yeah, it has a lot of problems with sexualizing high schoolers, and the rape thingy.

Some could argue that it’s because it’s dark and aimed at adults but... you can do that stuff without adding pedophilia or implied rape like it’s no big deal.

I’ll consider reviewing and adding warnings for it but for now I’d rather stay away from the really heavy stuff

[anime-contentwarnings]

are you gonna need help now that youre taking on a bigger load ?

I might eventually look for another mod but not for now. I’d like to expand the blog a bit more, add more reviews and be more consistent before involving other people.

But there are other ways to help! Give me recommendations, any type of content you’d like to be warned about, suggestions or any other kind of feedback

That will always help me no matter what!

[anime-contentwarnings]

Thank you all for your feedback!

I finally changed the blog name to Anime Content Warnings (with an asterisk because I won’t just be reviewing anime)

Someone had already taken @animecontentwarnings and they seem to keep it private so I had to add a hyphen...

Anyways next up will be updating the FAQ and getting back to work! I have to admit I have been focusing on other stuff these past days and been slacking but I plan to pick up the pace starting now.
