I mean… I kinda get it, but nowadays it’s starting to get absurd.

    Ever seen the Chinese localization of Tom and Jerry? They voice over everything and add a ton of sound effects so there’s no confusion. Politics aside, who is exactly are they protecting by banning zombies and ghosts. Well, they can have zombies, but not too gory and they can’t call them zombies.

    I like Thunderbolt Fantasy, so I should like Pili Fantasy(Taiwan), but it’s way too much soap opera. Thunderbolt is a nice balance between something new and the pacing of a 12 episode anime.

    South Korean stuff bothers me. They haven’t become disillusioned capitalism yet, so the subtext misses for me. I can’t tell what the point of Tower of God is. The harem stuff they put out puts Japan to shame.

        To be fair, I’m only seeing the stuff people put in front of me. I know Squid Game has the right idea, but Tower of God is flat out bad.

      What did you think of the episode of Squid game where everyone escapes the evil death games, and then realises that they actually like the evil death games better than normal capitalism?
