Will this have Netflix propaganda?

There is a general misconception about Netflix's influence over non-domestic productions, especially anime. Usually these shows are already in pipeline and netflix acquires rights to stream then.

This is different sometimes when they do stuff like Neo Yokio which is totally original piece of work.

So no there won't be forms of censorship or woke stuff in this thing (If there is its likely on English dub if anywhere).

I believe the concern is trying to implant real world politics into what should be focused on simple entertainment. Netflix has a habit of trying to inject their opinions, which can be controversial to some, into their works.

Alternatively, they also try to reach a more broad audience by attempting to appeal to everyone instead of focusing on the demographic that became the fanbase in the first place. The idea is larger audience larger profits, but in practice it tends to just cause controversy and fights where the original fans feel burned and the new audience "doesn't get" why it was so popular.

I hope it isn't just another remake-o-rama trying to capitalize on nostalgia, but in the morally and imaginatively bankrupt corporate world we live in, that is most often what we tend to get.

Yeah, my concern comes from examples like: Masters of the Universe: Revelation and the agenda that is always included in almost all Netflix's shows...

But if in this case the only "affected" part could be the english dub... No problems then XD

They had nothing to do with that, once again they only serve as role of distributor

Bastard!! is already chock-full of real world politics, for better or worse...

Trying to reread the manga recently I do hope they change things to appeal to a broader audience. I forgot that there's lots of, "women shouldn't fight for their ideals and should be at home cooking", nonsense and oversexualised 14 year olds in the early parts of this series, and generally creepy stuff like DS's relationship to Nei... I'm hoping this adaptation skims over that stuff to get to the better parts of the series (especially since we've already got the 90s anime).

>lets take every story that has things we don't like and just alter it to make it have the same ideals as us!
Not every story in the world needs to be a reaffirmation of your beliefs.

The beliefs that I expressed in my comment were that sexism, grooming and the sexualisation of minors for the gratification of the audience are all bad things, so every story should reaffirm my beliefs. It's not that we can't discuss topics like sexism, grooming and sexualisation of minors in media, but they should only ever be framed as bad things.

You were right in the first half of your comment, every modern adaptation of a story should be altered to express my ideals.

people who complain about Netflix but don't know that netflix doesn't produce anime, they just license them.

I don't understand why the average anime fandom is so stupid?

they see woke, politics, agenda everywhere ... they are all paranoia.


Without streaming services, anime would still have remained in their niche market, one of the reasons for their recent popularity is services such as Netflix.
But always complaining.

It means that cringe obssession american convervatives have with "MUH CURTUR WARS, NETFLIX/FUNI/Crunchy censor muh p0rn, EVERYTHING IS WOKE NOW, N0000". Blame Hero Hei and his clones for dumbing down those guys.

Which is nonsense, are Kakegurui ahegao faces political enough? Is a NETFLIX show as well...

At most there will actually be some form of censorship in the form of some lines of the eng dub. But only morons watch ameridubs over japvoicedsubs, those who do deserve to be screwed. Specially with such a good and stacked JP cast, like this one. Why would you go over secondary voice overs?

Really though what makes you think anything about anime is immune from this shit anyway?

To your last point, what happens when the english subs are just as bad as the dubs?

This is without getting into the influence this stuff has had on manga already, which is obviously a spill over to anime.
