Speaking of, what about the brave little toaster? Would he jump into a bathtub to save someone? I mean, he'd just kill 'em, but he can't let 'em drown!

.......The f*ck am I even talking about?.

It's about a highschool perv who was killed by his first date and stuff.

It's like what Clarkson said on Top Gear, someone in Japan had a picture of me on his desk and just decided "I'm gonna make an anime for bmwcrazy!"

Ladies and gentlemen, Madara is no longer remotely frightening.


TURNING YOUR CHILDREN INTO WORTHY SHINOBI MEANS YOU LOVE THEM

*said after burying a second-grader*

SO LET'S BREAK IT DOWN

Ninjas before the founding of the villages were completely stupid.
The First and Second's younger brother looks weird, don't know what the point of him was.
The Second Hokage was a proponent of making ninjas emotionless sociopathic automatons, gg number 2.
The Naruto world had it's own warring states period, with no Nobunaga or Tokugawa to beat unity into them.
Making children into soldiers was a-okay despite completely destroying your demographics.
Telling people your last name was a no-no, yet wearing your easily-identifiable clan symbol was hunky dory.

tl;dr the ninja world is incredibly incredibly stupid.

I assume DxD refers to her breast size?

Let me quote some guy:

Personally, I find most anime to be contrived, recycled , emotionally adolescant, garbage. Mind you, I lived in Japan from ages 9 to 15, speak the language, and understand the culture implicitly. This is not to say it is all bad. There are some true gems; however, they are firmly within the minority of the genre and style. The problems typically extend from a few broad social deficiencies within Japanese culture.
• A) Extreme disconnect and almost completely perverse ineptitude of Japanese men to understand women and anything female.
• A sort of self-perpetuating and idolized culture of adolescence, often compounded and related to point A.
• C) Most writing tends to reflect that adolescant angst and perspective, often causing stories to focus on juvenille plots or have their otherwise philosophic goals and overtones ruined by it.
• D) There are two things important in Japanese culture: Power & Beauty--in that order. These can be expressed in any form, not merely militarily or sexually. It can be economic and intellectual power or artistic beauty.
The above points tend to culminate in cliched, 2-dimensional characters, coping with adolescant angst and other baggage that should be resolved by your early 20s. It's not a coincidence or accident that the age of just about all central characters in Anime tend to be teenagers. Adolescant culture is fixated on in Japan more than any place I have ever been in the entire world.

I personally think it may be a bit too harsh, bu given the number of child protagonists, their tendancy to jam loli's in every nook and cranny, and also tendancy to fetishize....well
I'd be lying if I said that anime doesn't creep me out sometimes.
It's no wonder that "closet pedophile" and "pervert" are things often associated by people when you say "anime fan".

@ the bolded - at least it explains why there are no living Senju aside from Tsunade.

The one thing i liked about this chapter was that Kishimoto finally highlighted the child soldier issue. On another note, It's hilarious that Buggy is a Shichibukai.

Interesting post. And I agree with you.

Yet I can't understand why he brought this up nor what's bad about it:
• D) There are two things important in Japanese culture: Power &
Beauty--in that order. These can be expressed in any form, not merely
militarily or sexually. It can be economic and intellectual power or
artistic beauty.

At least they actually have ideals. Most people in the new world don't have one even, and if they do it's something fictional, superstitious, downright stupid or contradictory in its crudeness.

Beauty and power and simple yet powerful enough concepts to wield substance and meaning into culture.

You know what? You're right! lol. I never thought of it like that. I was under the impression that the age of consent was 20 in Japan. That's what Wikipedia told me anyways, lol.

That's still legislation. Though I guess both it and the attitude go hand in hand, I'd say the young-girls' and tolerance of media thing is more rooted into the depths of their culture. We have the age of consent at 14 or so in many places of Europe, yet don't have this type of "out-there" and otaku culture.
