People disagreeing with you is not an insult or a challenge; it is merely the natural consequence of their brain not being your brain.

The Boy and the Heron Thoughts

Ooh, a male Miyazaki protagonist. Given what I've heard about this film as a self-reflective narrative, that makes sense.

There's a lot of implied details about the sorry state the rest of Japanese society is in — the shortages on canned goods, the broken down train station — but we're never actually shown any of it.

The fish (?) cutting seen is *so* beautifully animated. As a gore enjoyer it gets many thumbs ups from me

There's a lot of interesting animation of painted background elements (you know, the stuff that's usually static in anime). I noticed this some of this when watching Spirited away recently, and it's clear that whatever technology/techniques they're use to make that happen. I'd love to learn more about that.

I wanna watch this movie again. It's good.

I had a thought

Fake Peppino remembers just how much of a bully the Noise was during the whole tower thing. But with Peppino in the picture, and with Pizzaface out of the picture, maybe Fake Peppino begins developing confidence, and actually confronts the Noise?

Which the Noise doesn’t expect & begins getting scared of bc if there’s one thing scarier than a messed up clone, it’s a clone that has had enough of your attitude

if this is abt the 'fuck my interpretation specifically' post , that was really more about noise's side of the dynamic and his being Very Obviously Not Scared of fake pep; fp in any of the stuff i've done would still react like that if noise [or anyone] yelled at him like that lmao. as far as "trying to justify my own takes to not clash with new canon" goes though, 1. i don't really care to actually do that! if it's disproven it's disproven and i'd rather play in the new space the game has provided, but 2. if you want some cheap throwaway reasoning, i just say Pizza Tower The Movie takes place long enough postgame that noise has gotten used to fake pep/realized he's not actually a threat.

ALSO i did make that post before i beat the game and saw it was set as a moive. re-evaluating it in that context, i'm pretty on-board with what everyone else has said about it just being acting, or fp getting yelled at for going off-script, or that fp was just startled in the moment because he wasn't expecting it; but whatever the case i don't think that interaction is representative of their usual dynamic since they both seem like. neutral about eachother's presence in the ending card. i feel like noise probably still doesn't LIKE him still but they're not gonna ruin eachother's day or anything

[draculuve]

kind of briefly wondering about the point of no return in mental health? like was there a time where things couldve gone back, with comparative ease; or a point where everything now so engrained couldve been completely undone; or a phase, whether short or long, where it was all reversible, and nothing had to be like this? i dont know

CHOUJIN X Chapter 40, Thoughts

Post timeskip the plot is quickly picking up from chapter to chapter. While the majority of this chapter is just spent with Tokio investigating with his new team, there’s some interesting ideas introduced on the other sie of the story, following Batista and Palmia the choujin with the ability to bring others back to life. More thoughts underneath the cut. 

Homo Superior

Choujin X borrows a lot from X-Men. It’s in the title if you haven’t noticed. Including the fact that society is changed by a small number of people in the population suddenly gaining superpowers through a randomly given genetic mutation. 

Even the concept of “Choujin X” itself, the strongest of all choujins who is rumored to have the ability to shape the world most likely comes from comic book concepts like “omega level mutants” and the character “apocalypse” who often shows up in a villain in the x-men stories as the first mutant who possesses power greater than any other mutant. 

I’m not saying Ishida ripped off X-Men or anything along those lines, but the two works share a lot in common that they merit comparison. X-Men’s most famous villain Magneto is a former holocaust victim turned mutant who believes in mutant supremacy. This is a vast oversimplification of Magneto’s beliefs, but more or less he believes that humans will inevitably fear and try to oppress mutants with their superior numbers while they’re still in the minority, but that mutants are actually the next step in human evolution and will rise up to replace them. 

It’s less that Magneto believes that mutants are inherently superior, but rather he fights for the liberation of mutants as he believes humans will inevitably always try to oppress them out of fear. The classic comparison (which is again an oversimplification) is that Charles Xavier was Martin Luther King, and Magneto is written as Malcolm X. Magneto supports the idea of Mutant’s finding liberation separate from human society rather than blending in with humans as he doesn’t believe the two can mix. 

Choujin X is also a story which depicts a conflict between an organization that regulates Choujins and the use of their power so they can blend into a society where they are a minority, and a group of radical choujin who exist outside of that society. With Yamato Mori currently being the enforcers of that order regulating which Choujin are permitted to use their powers, and punishing those who use their powers without permission. 

However, while X-Men takes place in what is mostly our world just with mutants thrown in, Choujin X exists in what is called a “nationless world.” 

In the past around world war one in our time the War Choujin Queem led a military coup using a batallion of all Choujins, and then after seizing control of his nation went to war with all of his neighboring countries, including the pacific asian theatre. This sparked countries to deploy choujin as literal super soldiers which pushed a war that suprassed all wars. Even when Queem died the wars did not cease which caused every nation in the world to collapse, and the only way society has survived is through a series of self-governing prefectures which I assume operates like city-states. 

Post canon we learn not all of these city-states operate as lawfully as the Yamato Prefecture. There are places like Iwato that are run by Warlord like Choujin instead who wield absolute power. 

Not only that but an extra in the first volume reveals that history has been shaped time and time again, by choujin with special powers rising into the ranks of leadership. Apparently in this world Julius Caesar was counted among the Choujin if him appearing in this extra is to be believed.

That is to say Choujin are inidviduals who have a great ability to disrupt or change the society they are a part of, the existence of Choujins being used in war ended up bringing an end to all nations in the world. It seems like the only reason they aren’t completely dominating the world is because they’re vastly outnumbered. Therefore, this chapter posits what would happen if Choujin were no longer 1/1000. 

Which asks the question if Choujin were to no longer be the minority, then what would happen to regular humans? Would they be obsolete now and replaced by Choujin entirely? 

That might just be like Magneto, the aim of people like Batista and Zora’s followers in spreading around a drug that can awaken Choujins. 

We might be one step closer to understanding what exactly Batista’s goals are in allying with Zora. As so far Zora’s followers just seem to be a bunch of eccentrics with odd dreams abusing their powers as Choujin on innocent people, simply because they have those powers, and believe in individual right of the strong, but as the story progresses we might see their more complex motivations. In Chapter 37 one of her followers suggests that Zora is currently the only one giving a safe-haven to outcasts like them. 

Which further suggests we might be building up to this sort of Charles Xavier vs. Magneto storyline when it comes to the beliefs of the heros and villains, that Yamato Mori believes in oppressing the rights of individual Choujin in order to create a society safer for normal humans who make up the majority, and then the choujin who are the radical outsiders of the society who want to dissolve that society’s rules.

Love Bullet Ch. 1 and 0 thoughts

Oh i really like this series

The artwork and character designs are really clean. The character designs are all simple but very distinct — there's a clear visual divide between the white-haired cupids and the black-haired humans

That being said, the lack of darker values in the angel-only action scenes make it a little hard to read

The paneling is really snappy

Ch 0 clearly establishes the personalities of the main cast through action alone, which I love

also, like, REALLY leaning into the personal thoughtsposting lately. on some serious stream-of-consciousness shit. i hate talking but i loooove typing
