8/10 thread, well done /anarcho/
I like to see cross-board threads. They sometimes hold the most interesting discussions.
>>5417I agree. There should be more historical anime.
>>5858Kill la Kill is a good anime, though its main strength is its sense of style rather than any sort of meaningful thematic content. I wouldn't say it's any more 'anarchist' than TTGL for example.

I agree that with the others that an original anarchism-centric anime or manga would be fucking epic, but do the artists of this board have the willpower to do so with little or no pay?

Not exactly an "anarchist" anime, but Sakamichi no Apollon has communistic references.
One of the main characters, Brother Jun, was a communist and is shown taking action on riots. I found it very interesting.
It just serve as a background history, though.

>>6485Pretty sure this is based off of the Japanese Trotskyists and Anarchists in '80s, no idea what happened to them.

>>6485Early riots in Japan caused a deep impression in the population.
Manabi Straight also referenced it; in fact the whole series, while being a cute light-hearted comedy, was a tribute to the early Japanese student movements.

I've thought it would be cool to put together a panel at a convention talking about anarchist/anti-authoritarian/liberatory tendencies within anime and manga. I recall an early episode of Trigun wherein a village decides to evict its Sheriff and deputies or something to that effect.

Mutualism is not communism. Neither is anarcho-syndicalism with decentralized currencies(spain).
They are both anarchism btw.

Kaiji is very nice indeed. And it seemed a little bit anti-capitalist too.
It's like an ayncrap dystopia.

This and a lot of post-apocalyptic manga does have a pretty anarchist or at least communalist undertones.

Shinometa seems like it may have anarchist undertones to me. While not directly related Demiurge in Overlord seems to be inspired by Friedrich Engel's depiction of Max Stirner.

Not anarchist, but it's definitely against the establishment and backward traditions and values about "purity".
Still, it got a full-page advertisement on Asahi Shimbun, Japan's left-wing newspaper, so yeah maybe they're onto something. Maybe not.
