Wait until you see Be Invoked. Shouldn't be surprised if you've seen your fair share of mecha anime from Tomino.

Hahaha yes of course!

You're quite the friggen reader!! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Very nice titles too! Love to see more of Muira's work on people's horizons!! I plan to read all of his titles this year.

Sup! You read anything recently?

These souls were complete embodiment of those people thoughts. That why their responses were empty because those people led a bleak life.

He realized that how soulless the life people have chosen. He wanted to feel people emotions. For desperation for save something, fear of death, care for others, etc. He then commit terrorist attack in order to pull those emotion out.

Just sent you an invite. It's a secret club, so I think you have to click your username in the upper right, then click clubs, and you can find it there. It won't appear as a notification. Yeah, probably have some old junk I forgot to add. Plus, any shonen I watched years ago, it's hard to tell how much I really watched. Like, I'll bet I probably saw most of Dragon Ball Z, for example. But maybe not all of it...

Yeah... I used the tags option way before notes were a thing
Too lazy to convert all the tags into notes so its gonna stay like that

Based on some of the old manga you've been reading and how many 80s/90s OVAs you've seen, maybe you'd be interested in joining an OVA/gekiga club I'm in? It hasn't been too active recently, but it picks up sometimes. Probably 4-5 of your friends are in there too.

Yes, there's a lot of reinventing the wheel. Oh, yeah, it is Tezuka, and I feel like all of the liberal and especially communist-oriented writers tended to indulge in these kind of dull plots. I recall Leiji Matsumoto also having a story like this, except way more bizarre. It's not like these authors are lacking good works or stories, but it's like one of those checklist things, I guess, lmao. Funny enough, it would take us a very long time to become a threat to any aliens that can reach our earth from outside of our solar system. It doesn't sound like we're anywhere close to having functioning space colonies either. The biosphere experiment is probably the closest we have to a simulation of being on a space colony with a diverse greenhouse ecosystem, and it was a disaster. All of the proposed planets sound very challenging to colonize as well. The main ones I know of are Mars, Venus (some think this sounds easier than Mars, but I'm not so sure I agree, lmao), Titan (Saturn's moon), and I've sometimes heard mention of Ganymede or maybe some other moon, but I didn't look into that one at all. The big showman Elon Musk is mostly bluffing with most of what he says as well. But with that context, imagine how long it will be until we even make it out of our solar system with functional weapons. XD

You're probably being too hard on yourself, as most thought is syncretic, anyway. But you already said it yourself. Moving away from nation-states. The nation component of that idea is an ethnic group. The nation can resist and potentially erect a new state if left to their own devices. A nation tends to want to maintain itself. So with the idea you are talking about. You would have to erode the nation to effectively destroy the nation-state. Nation-states are already dead in the sense of state actors acting for the benefit of the state or nation in relation to international concerns (elitism at a high enough level is increasingly transnational). But it's the nation that can be resistant. So you inject inefficiency to weaken the nation over time, and eventually there is no nation and the territory becomes more like an administrative state. I'd reckon borders and state infrastructure would stay in some capacity to make it more manageable, but the borders become more porous as needed by the managers and increasingly independent of national concerns, which are largely just historical by that point, with the remnant nation being too weak to organize for their interests. So the inefficiency actually doesn't go against the political theory you're talking about, but all theories end up with snags along the way to work out, and introducing something into the system that at first appears to contradict the theory is a necessary means to an end.

I think the greater issue with Patlabor movie two is the lack of actual substantive writing. I like the AVI purely for aesthetic and my appreciation for Akemi Takada as an artist.

An echo chamber of good taste actually sounds quite nice.
