Hey, can I ask you why you think Ina11 should have been a show for 16 and +? I saw your post about it, I very much agree, and would love to hear more of your opinions- (especially about Kidou)
gladly 💛✌️ if theres one thing i cant resist is yap about my special interests (autism be damned)
easy answer but I'll try to elaborate on it. it's mostly because the more dark-ish themes of the show could perfectly fit an anime targeted more for teenagers. i think maybe why the fandom in japan is a great number of adults (and also, not important for this specific topic, but most of those adults are women haha) its because it covers topics such as death, manipulation, revolutions, mental and physical disorders, and even politics, making clear jabs at capitalism (i have a whole analysis of this btw), but it does so thru goddamn football/soccer, which not only simplifies it, making it palatable for children, but its like. its fun!! for everybody to watch! so technically inazuma eleven is for everybody, not just kids. I would totally understand if it was something more mature
that said. knowing the creators of ina11/level5 can make a very decent job at speaking all of this, i simply think ina11 could be a 16+ show so they could talk about this more freely, more directly. a lot of things would be separated from the soccer world to give it more depth and "realism" if you wanna call it that. one good example is the dynamic between kidou and kageyama. i think if given the chance, he would totally be capable of grooming kidou outside of using him for his outstanding soccer skills. perhaps economically, since he was the one to put him in the kidou family. but thats more up to personal interpretation lol
it's more me being a bit mad that everything has to rely on soccer like YEAH i know its an anime about it but goddamn some of these things are just a REACH to try and link them thru a sport. like. a WAR? a fucking nuclear war and you use FOOTBALL...as the means to get WEAPONS. baby thats crazy
so yeah thats about it. im glad you like my talks...about kidou. i am his number 1 fan. you know yumeshipping? well this is yumefamily he's literally my son 😞🥺 ask me about him if you want to!!!! i can answer right about. anything about him. yeppppp
