I also don't believe in capitalism but I still have to work in the system or I'll starve. While I agree to a certain point with you, this is a dilemma we all have. Likewise, most art flows through the capitalist system, but most artists are forced to do it that way, even if they have an opposing ideology (many of them do and it shows in their works), or they'll starve. Nothing wrong with enjoying a CD, a game or a story.

>artists and authors are laughing all the way to the bank at you guys

In the anime industry writers and animators are the lowest paid (some even lower than minimum wage); same as voice actors. Directors make a bit more but not that much. The ones who get all the money are not the artists or writers but the producer companies (the ones who do the funding and marketing) and most of it comes from merchandising related to the show, not the show itself. The same thing happens in the game or music industry (developers vs publishers, artists vs record labels) or most industries where labor itself isn't rewarded. This is a well known flaw of capitalism.

Besides, are you by any chance implying that I BUY anime?

Infinite Ryvius is good. A small society of children inadvertently detach from their authorities, under stressful circumstance. Power structures start breaking down, relationships change. It doesn't end so well. But the show is great, one of my favorite.

This season's Akamge ga Kill is also openly anti-authoritarian, although it doesn't go much deeper than that. Kill la Kill, maybe?

Kyoto Animation can pay the animators well because they started funding and publishing their own works since Chuunibyou because of the exact same reasons we're discussing here. Very few animation studios have been able to do this, and even if they do shitty management usually still leads to low wages and silly amounts of unpaid overtime; see Shaft or Gainax for example; but I digress.

You won't find anarchist mainstream media from Japan because anarchism there is completely nonexistent. Besides, anime plots don't have much space for thinking.

You might find some themes in several of them though, like anti-fascism, anti-militarism or sympathy for student movements; but don't hope too much. Nationalism is recurrent, though.

>anarchism is nonexistent.

I wonder if it's cultural, I know that anarchism isn't solely individualistic but there is usually a presence of individualism in all forms of anarchism that might not mesh well with some East Asian cultural norms.

Heh, I'm liking the episode titles in Akame ga Kill.

>>3573
I think the reasons are historical, and thus cultural, yes. By the time there were ongoing people's and worker's revolutions in the west, Japan was still under a strict monarchy, and imperialism, hierarchy, nationalism, traditionalism and honor was always part of their culture.

Their defeat in the WW2 opened them up to the west's influence and also gave them their current unhealthy obsession with peace. Mix all of this, and you get conformist and conservative citizens. Most of them know that their government is corrupt, but don't want to have anything to do with politics, and the ones who do are either right-wing nuts who want to go back to the ages of Imperial Japan or Marxists.

So, basically, the whole idea of a non-hierarchical society is very alien to them, and most of them will laugh it off or stare at you with a blank face. The writers who are familiar or even sympathetic to the idea are the ones who were influenced by western literature.

The odd thing is, there are so many liberty-themed anime. Where the protagonists agitate for liberation or justice of some sort.

TTGL comes to mind. Much struggle. But after their success, they go and set up a government. Its interesting to see that government depicted as flawed and unnecessarily rigid, and there's Viral who oppose it from the fringe. The only reason the government goes away is because of the extreme external threat.

Governments are taken as a given. I suppose that's probably the worldwide norm in thought these days though.

d9ee80 No.3845

>>3729
Yeah, I think the best we can do is to find anime with those themes.

For example, the recent Zankyou no Terror anime portrayed terrorism in a good light and politicians as the corrupt fucks they are, but sadly it didn't use its full potential for political commentary.

And what about Code Geass? I think it has weird mix of both left-wing elements and some right-wing ones, but the main character is a revolutionary fighting against an imperial army for the liberation of the people, and portrays revolution in a good light. Might be related.

Psycho-pass which I think was mentioned, it's plainly anti-authoritarian and it's set in an universe ruled under the Sybil system, an automatic system programmed to judge people morally.

Manabi Straight too, as shown in this pic >>3571. It's more of a cute-like and comedy anime but it's known in Japan for narrating the formation of a student movement fighting against authorities and portraying it in a good light.

On the other side of the coin, Mahouka, and Joshiraku to a lesser extent, are very nationalistic anime, you might want to avoid them.

If I remember more I'll post them.

Utena deals with some anarchist/voluntaryist themes on a more individual level. It talks about dependence from authority and how what it means to free ourselves from our oppressors. What's more important is that it deals with the question of how we can lead others to freedom.

Wow guys, so it's seriously pretty neat for me to see this thread.

First of all, I haven't seen it, but I've heard good things about Zankyou no Terror. I still need to watch it.

Anyways, most of my post is about an idea I had for an Anarchist (vaguely political) manga–maybe later it can become an anime. I've been thinking about this for a while, but the main idea is:

There are two guys who travel into the forest in rural Japan. They don't know each other at first. One is a bit of a 'Leftist'; he's a NEET and believes in 2D >>> 3D. He likes to try and make games/manga/light novels, but all he ends up doing is drawing cute girls to fap to. He is trying to visit old shrines to look for 'reference material' (or, he is lazy and wants to stay at a temple for free for a while).

The other guy is a bit of a 'Fascist' politically; he wants to meet a 'legendary pure yamato nadeshiko miko'; he thinks that most inferior humans have too low of standards, etc.

Anyways, both of these guys run into each other while they are trying to peek at naked shrine maidens bathing in an onsen (for various reasons) and they eventually befriend each other (they are the two main characters).

However, they have many differences politically. Now, the story of the manga won't focus on too much politics, I just want it to have some references and for the characters to clearly have differing philosophies.

I want it to be an ecchi/harem/rom-com/light-hearted/slapstick type of work, but maybe still be able to make some political points with it. I think the contrast between the two main characters would be funny.

Maybe they both try and build a pagoda in the forest and lure young cute pure virgin flat-chested Japanese girls to work for them as 'shrine maidens', ha ha…

Okay, well I am impressed that my experience here so far has been a little better than my experience on 'other' imageboards (not that it was awful; I was just not inclined to post OC stuff). I guess Katawa Shoujo is living proof of the possibilities, though.

I guess I have a couple of options–I could focus more on pure, innocent, cute, virgin, flat-chested shrine maidens and have an 'anarchist undercurrent' in the manga, OR I could actually make it a bit 'political'. (I don't HAVE to focus on cute girls, although obviously it gives me more motivation to draw). If I'm making it more political, I might want to write a bit of a story first…

In any case, I'll try and hang around this board every so often, so that you guys who want to can give me input on what I should do for the story.

I don't know how an anarchist anime would turn out in today's anime industry. Chances are they'd probably fuck it up, but if I had to pick anything, I'd like to see something based on actual historical revolutions rather than some vague fantasy or sci-fi setting. Some guy on /a/ had an idea for a Makhno anime, I would probably cream my pants over that. My absolute favorite, though, would be an anime focusing on the anarchists in the Spanish civil war.

Hmm… it's that guy from before.

What if I somehow involved various historical settings in the manga? Maybe I could have a parody of different events in history, or maybe one of the characters could read about them in a history book (or read the works of Bakunin, etc.) and be 'inspired' to do various things.

I have many ideas for mundane 'slice-of-life' elements that involve a rebellious, anarchist spirit. For instance:

- Seeing an advertisement on the back of a truck or a bus that becomes crucial to the plot later.
- Getting a discount on groceries by tagging a bag and getting it weighed, and then putting the tag on a different bag which is actually heavier.
- Going through line in a cafeteria with a painted styrofoam plate where the machine automatically incorporates the weight of a real plate, and saving a lot of money.

-Mass-producing the above two methods of saving money and making them available to the people

-General vandalism/graffiti/social uprising

-Attaining prestigious positions in the state for the purpose of undermining the authority of those in said positions

-A 'grand strategy' for a revolt.

Of course, I would like this if it all somehow was able to involve super-cute anime babes–you know, a "Take over the world with shrine maidens" type of motif.

By the way, would you consider Ika Musume or Keroro Gunsou to have anarchist undertones (of course, only in the basic plot–the actual shows are pure comedy!)

In one episode of Ika Musume!, our favourite squid girl manages to lead an entire class of children to revolt against the school, and even storms the principal's office!

Assuming you are still taking suggestions:

>What if I somehow involved various historical settings in the manga? Maybe I could have a parody of different events in history, or maybe one of the characters could read about them in a history book (or read the works of Bakunin, etc.) and be 'inspired' to do various things.

This sounds good. I'd recommend you yourself read the books you would have your characters read. That way you could pick excerpts from the books that could be used as a guide or a catalyst for epiphany. Besides it's a good way to get to know your characters better.
Is this supposed to be a light-hearted comedy sort of thing? Why do you call it a "parody"?

>Getting a discount on groceries by tagging a bag and getting it weighed, and then putting the tag on a different bag which is actually heavier.

>Going through line in a cafeteria with a painted styrofoam plate where the machine automatically incorporates the weight of a real plate, and saving a lot of money.
>Mass-producing the above two methods of saving money and making them available to the people
>General vandalism/graffiti/social uprising
Those sound fine and are part of anarchist practices, but considering anarchism is about empowering and emancipating the worker class, it would be great to include some social labor, and anarchist action like syndicalism and worker coops.

>Attaining prestigious positions in the state for the purpose of undermining the authority of those in said positions

This sounds like something a marxist would try (and then fail spectacularly when he refuses to hand over power to the people).

>A 'grand strategy' for a revolt.

I'm liking this.

>Of course, I would like this if it all somehow was able to involve super-cute anime babes–you know, a "Take over the world with shrine maidens" type of motif.

Can't you just do what most manga do and just make all female characters ridiculously attractive?

Ultimately it's your call, but I figured you might want an(other) anarchist opinion.

I'm the guy you replied to. This is actually the first time that we talk. Anyway, your idea isn't quite like what I have in mind, but it could work I guess. Though, my only suggestion is to have your character read about famous anarchists and their actions rather than theorical books. He could like, read about the events in the spanish civil war and get all emotional about it. Also, how is the relation with the fascist guy going to be like? Would they be typical anime rivals or do they actually hate each other? Are they secretly gay for each other?

Ideally, my idea for an "anarchist anime" would be something that focuses on actual anarchists. Like I said, my preferred setting would take place during the Spanish Civil war. It would probably end up being more of a "Durruti anime" than an "anarchist anime" though, since he'd be the central character. Though, he'd also share the spotlight with the rest of "Los Solidarios" (Francisco Ascaso, Juan Garcia Oliver, etc).

It could also work out if the main character was made out to be a young man enlisted in the Durruti column, and we'd basically come to know the revolution through his own eyes. On the technical level though, I wouldn't want it to cover the entire civil war, since we all know how that ended (spoiler: fascists kill everyone). In brief:
>Young CNT militant enrolling up in Durruti's column shortly after the military uprising in barcelona has been repelled
>through him, the viewer experiences the many facets of the revolution, both positive and negative
>realistic portrayal of warfare rather than action oriented
>an inside look into the lives of Durruti and many others
>special "propaganda" in the style of the CNT's "sindicato de espectaculos".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGwn8XFy4v8
>tone would be upbeat in the beginning, so as to symbolize the intial enthusiasm at the start of the revolution, but gradually darkens as the situation grows dark
>**end with the protagonist yelling "Viva la anarquia!" seconds before being executed by Stalinists

Aww, Terriermon is really cute. I always liked Digimon Tamers (it was the first Digimon I watched, and it holds a special place in my heart).

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Maybe I can continue to post here every so often. I live in Bangkok, Thailand, and I have to travel tomorrow, so I may not have internet access this week. Nevertheless…

I agree that reading books and doing research is a good thing. I need to read more as it is–I want to read Das Kapital at some point, but I realise not all of you here are Marxists, so I respect that.

Honestly, I know that there is a rule about 'creating what you like', and when I read a manga, I want to laugh, so I want to make something that is a comedy. However, I may be convinced into making something more serious.

The thing is, I think that often comedy is a better vehicle for getting a point across. Often a 'serious' story falls flat, or isn't very believable.

I had to laugh about you saying that it 'sounds like something a Marxist might try, and fail miserably'… that's exactly what I was going for!

By the way, the whole idea of 'failure' intrigues me. Maybe the manga could mainly have a theme of trying, UNSUCCESSFULLY, to revolt. Maybe the idea could be, that even though you ALWAYS seem to FAIL, it's worth it to carry the spirit of anarchy forward, on it's own merits.

This isn't a low-content post at all; no apologies are necessary.

"Are they secretly gay for each other?"

I literally laughed out loud and blew juice through my nose reading this…

Um, I'm a totally straight male, of course, so that wouldn't be my first choice, but hey, maybe I could throw in some inside jokes.

To be honest, the Fascist/Marxist dynamic was meant to be something where it was NOT 'overtly' stated (i. e., it's NOT like one character ALWAYS relates everything to Marxism or Fascism, etc.)… it's just that I use the basic idea as a template to build their characters on.

I was going for the rivals/friends dynamic (i.e., they don't always get along, but they work together because they need to–they don't have similar philosophies, but they respect each other, etc.)

In some ways, anarchism is about the lack of structure, and order, and so two people who both had a 'secret' desire to overthrow the government might be willing to work together, even if in theory their aims differed.

Well, I have lived in Spain for 6 weeks, in the Valencia area. To be honest, I didn't like Spain all that much (I do like football, though, so the fact that they are always playing football is a plus). Maybe I could have a go at creating something a bit more 'historical'.

It might actually work out better, though, if you tried to create a plot for that, since it seems you know more about it, and I could be willing to critique/proofread/edit parts at your request. I have a bit of experience in doing this, ever since my academy days (I recently graduated university).

Also, I would be willing to critique/help design any characters, but I can't claim skill at this part.

I like your idea of a plot. The truth is, despite my anarchist leanings, I'm just not so sure I'm that interested in Spanish history. However, maybe I should be. Maybe the Spain I lived in would have been better had the Anarchists succeeded.

I guess in short, I will consider your suggestions. I was trying to make something a bit more 'esoteric' that blended several of my interests and was a little broader in focus, but I can definitely understand the appeal of a historical approach. We must remember, though, that the main appeal of manga (for me and most others) is
super-cute virgin shrine maidens (pic related).

Eh, while jacking off to Sexy Hatsune Miku MMD videos, I had an interesting idea… what if the main characters somehow travel back in time and experience various revolutionary scenarios (either it could be due to a 'time machine', or 'magic', or it could be in a 'dream' or something).

Maybe I could somehow incorporate the abilities of certain shrine maidens with this idea.

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.

Early 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.

Jin-Roh is more like Bolshevism, though, like how it subverts the system from within with vanguards. Typical Oshii, if you ask me. The guy who was involved in ANPO protests.

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.

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.
