Message: [QUOTE="Vetusomaru, post: 70207, member: 121337"] A trope I hate to death even at anime I enjoy: Good guys teaming up against one villain being morally accepted because "power of friendship" but SOMEHOW if the bad guys team up against one good guy is SUDDENLY "a cowards' move". Another one I hate a lot (especially to Western media) is the "violence isn't the answer" trope while at same show/movie they justify pointless violence over harmless stuff like when a character says something "mean". Actually isekai genre exists way before anime with books like Alice in Wonderland. Even at anime, the isekai genre is quite old with examples like Escaflowne, InuYasha and Magic Knight Rayearth. Not a jab to you but I hate people who claim they hate isekai anime but at the same time they shill retro isekai anime, especially the ones aiming for female audience like the ones I mentioned. By the way Escaflowne tv series was never good (there, I said it!) and the movie was much better. MGR wasn't that great either putting aside the great art and the cool mecha design. And let's not start with InuYasha and its stupid romance trio and the repetitive action (and I say that as an InuYasha fanboy).

[automerge]1739162429[/automerge] Nah, it still screamed "American imperialism - the cartoon series". Then again most American superhero comics from Marvel and DC were often used for American imperialism propaganda. Also the '80s Gi Joe tv series removed the "American hero" part at its British/European localization where it was localized as "Action Force". Still stupid and pointless name change since the cartoon's theme was still American as hell and still takes place in America. [/QUOTE]
