    I’ve only recently realized how weird a lot of anime is when you think about it. Slavery, child soldiers, pedophilia by proxy of being reborn, racism, anime is filled with so many morally questionable tropes that you sometimes don’t really think about because it’s presented in an entertaining and comedic way most of the time…

    Overlord is an anime I enjoy, but if that regime existed in real life they’d be comparable to the NAZIs with the amount of death and destruction they bring

    Weird to think about, still enjoy watching anime though

      I just started overlord S2 and ouch, they fucking invaded the lizardmen tribe then made them their vassals after killing their chiefs…and brought one back?? I cannot and will not explain it will but it felt very much what a fascist would do lol, i will end the season in the hope that it gets better but…

      I pirated it anyway so at least i don’t give 'em money if it’s in a bad faith :P

        I mean to be fair that arc is generally considered to not be… Quite the best

        But I don’t think thats the reason behind it if you continue watching

      That speech he gives to that Prince before he destroys their land was such bullshit considering they manufactured the whole situation in the first place. It only really works as a fascist power fantasy. The thing I’m not sure about is whether Momonko was deliberately written as a loser being propped up by an overpowered character and guild or if the writers are on his side and themselves admire and aspire to be like that character.

      But it feels like fascist propaganda.

      Oh definitely, there’s a ton of questionable stuff. Though at least some of those are pretty much only because a series aimed at school children will have school-aged protagonists, like most of the child soldiers.
