Top 20 original anime series! All original animes. No manga to anime adaptation series.

Blame! not a anime, but there have a movie and OVA, and I also advise to watch manga,,,

I really want Texhnolyze to become at least a little more popular like Experiments Lain and Ergo Proxy, although many people will find this boring,,, 😿😿 But I still want more content on this anime

Texhnolyze - Episode 1 “Stranger”

[alpaca-clouds]

You know, the entire "Tamers anniversary audio drama" disaster with Konaka and the entire "political correctness" vent will never be not strange to me. Like, I have a vague understanding that the man was at time going through a horrible mental health phase and Twitter was definitely not helping there.

But also I am always sitting here like: "What do you mean, my dude? What political correctness? You mean like writing a kids show in the early 2000s in which each of the main characters is part of an extremely marginalized group? That kind of political correctness? Like writing non-white and non-Japanese characters into every single one of your projects since the early 90s? Like having on screen queerness and realized adult female characters who are not defined by being mothers? That political correctness?"

Because here is the thing: Konaka, out of all the lead writers on Digimon, is arguably the one who over his career has written the most stories that the worst people on the internet these days would call "woke" in a derogatory manner. Tamers itself is a great example. We have arguably the strongest female main character in all of Digimon with Ruki, with the other two central characters being the half-indigenous main character (from an indigenous group that rarely ever gets featured in anime, let alone whose indigeneity not being a big aesthetic element of him), and the half-Chinese boy. Tamers is one of the very few shonen anime from before 2015 that features several adult female characters over the age of 25 who do have a career, one of them being an Indian woman.

Like, I cannot stress this enough. In comparison the other lead writers (with maybe the other exception being Yoshimura Genki, who - I have seen - is currenctly actually doing trans advocacy, which I love to see) were all fairly conservative dudes. Like, Nishizono, who wrote Adventure, is a fucking World War Military enthusiast. Kakudou is also generally fairly conservative. Tomioka, who did Frontier, also is definitely not on the forefront of progressive ideas. Yamaguchi and Maekawa do seem to fall a bit further to the left, but also are definitely traditionally not well known for how they depict minorities. Especially not Yamaguchi. Maekawa can, at the very least, write very good female characters. But still...

I get that mental health issues make you at times weird. I get that it was the pandemic. I also get that Konaka even in his best days was a man who definitely was a bit more conspiracy-minded. And I get him being on twitter really was not a good idea. But as someone who has watched and read pretty much everything this dude has put out over the course of his career - including some of the live action stuff that never got subtitled, and some novels and short stories that never got any western translation... I will forever look at this entire chapter and be like: "Okay, dude. What?"
