I really like how the studio adapted the hanging scene. It took the original scene in the manga and made it better, as any good adaptation should. I would never have thought, not in a million years, that Nippon Sangoku of all things would get such a high-quality anime. I'm so happy!

>>287715047

>>287715065
I think it's good for studios to take chances on adapting non wsj big budget anime. Orb got a similar treatment and it really paid off. I hope that in the future more studios take 'lesser known but popular in japan' manga to adapt. I really hope that the popularity of this and some other adaptions can prove to studios that all it takes is a good team with a vision to make things successful rather tan relying on 'brand name' like wsj titles

From the website glossary page
>Fujiwara I was a wise ruler who brought peace to his people, but he died of illness after just over 10 years on the throne.
>Later, Fujiwara II was poisoned by his relative, the Minister of Home Affairs, Taira no Tonoki, and Fujiwara III, the third son of Fujiwara II's concubine, ascended to the throne at the tender age of four.

>>287715485
It gets revealed a little further ahead in the manga as part of a glossary-type thing, but the reason why Taira Denki is called Denki is because Fujiwara III gave Denki (formerly Tonoki) part of the emperor's name as a reward. The manga has a lot of neat extra info like that, it's great.

The manga is a separate thing (and is excellent, don't get me wrong), but the anime really stands on its own merits even if you ignore the plot and people should give it a shot.

I agree on all your points, but i feel like when you say it in that way you end up with an akira type adaptation.

Another good episode, the time flew by.
The author's political leanings are obvious now but what makes me more curious is that since the two established factions now have the same kind of young, anti-corruption, pro-people, pro-self-sufficiency, anti rent-seeking mindset and both want to unify the nation... what differentiates them? Like, why is Aoteru the hero and she is doomed to die? I expect she has to have some flaw in her politics or something that makes him more morally justified, or else they could cooperate (barring tragedy like someone else killing her).

at episode 2, this guy is awfully genki for someone that lost the love of his life to execution by dismemberment

Either answer to that question means they have nothing to contribute to the thread so why even engage with them?

>>287713507
so the new Seiji government will go to war with Yamato instead of getting annexed because they think they would've become a neglected and poor as fuck province of the empire, with unfair taxation and people starving to death in the cold right? Because otherwise it makes no sense to go against it if you put aside personal grudges of her father being the hero of the nation o algo. Putting people through an offensive war while firmly believing you're doing it for them is pretty crazy. Especially since this is more of a civil war rather than a conflict of countries. I know plot wise a war is cooler, but I just don't know if there is actually merit in her choice or she's just obsessed with her father. Going againt Yamato looks like suicide too

Loved the episode, I'm so happy the studio adapting this is pouring their love and effort into it. You can really tell how much they enjoy their work

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the new Seiji government is supposed to symbolize how propaganda will push common people to do things their dictator wants. Like the the scene where she was giving free food to starving people isn't supposed to show how the Seiji government is taking care of food shortage because they are not giving THAT much food in order to achieve such feat. It's supposed to show how their glorious dictator is gaining loyalty from common people through acts that can only be seen as pure propaganda

Keep watching. Why do you expect everything about a character's motivations to be explained in one episode? Every question you have will be addressed in one, maybe two more episodes. Alternatively, read the manga if you can't wait.

Maybe she feels some threat of mistreatment of the Seii population from Yamato? Seii had a president so they might not want to be ruled by a monarchy. Seii also has ties to the Ainu culture, the girl has a tattoo on her face which apparently the Ainu used to do, and the second character in Seii is 夷.
Though without the information for why the three different governments emerged in the first place, you can’t really know for sure what the reasons for resisting the others is.

The problem with the big tiddy dictator is that she's trying to rule through warmongering and a cult of personality, compared to Taira who rules through fear. If the war goes south or the people become disillusioned, her hold on power will collapse.

Agreed.

Dr Stone is my feel-good show. The science stuff focuses on many of the good things about humankind instead of doom and gloom. It's far from perfect and the first arc is boring, but I recommend it.

is one of the best Arcs in the series. I cannot understand the hate some people have for a well put together plot. People always one to skipped without understanding that you need the set up for the pay off to mean anything. If you don't do it, everything becomes hollow and it creates a dissonance that makes it feel like nothing matters and the action of the characters are unnecessary because it creates the same result.

I've rewatched dcst a few times, an the first arc with Taiju and Yuzuriha always bores me. Taiju is so annoying, he's only tolerable as a background character like in the later arcs. The story properly starts in the village anyway.

Do you know why you can't actually answer this and are instead twisting yourself into a knot to seem superior? Two reasons, really. One: you don't know the difference between a story and a plot. Two: This show has no story. These four episodes have been nothing but random scenes with no chronology and no causality. In simpler terms, it's the quintessential "AND THEN" type of "storytelling". which is not only inherently dogshit, but also puts the show's writing on the level of Narou isekai wns.

It's a valid point of view but doesn't really match what I wrote. I asked if the new faction and the new girl really wanted to help the people or if she is just clinging to an insane ideal.

that makes so much more sense now. what I was really puzzled about was "why would they treat you like shit you were all Japanese some decades ago" but with Ainu culture in play they might really feel different. I totally understand resisting a foreign nation from conquering you but so much bloodshed between people that have everything in common was exaggerated in my thought process. So this ethnic element explains it at least partially

>>287744804
>why would they treat you like shit you were all Japanese some decades ago
People from the same country hate their neighbors and you think people from different cities won't hate each other? Are you that naive? In the past, people from different villages have killed each other, because the other village has a different culture and that happens in every country.

>>287744918
I know it very well and it happened mainly due to conflict of resources rather than cultural bullshit. Therefore it seemed weird to go against the empire who could feed every mouth when you have nothing

>>287719189
I think an aspect we are missing here is that one faction has an emperor and the other doesn't (I guess they were some kind of democratic federation until they become a dictatorship on this episode).

I westerners like us the emperor might seem like a minor detail but it's a big deal on japanese politics.

>>287713507
I couldn't take the Epic Soldier Man seriously after he kept bowing like a little bitch as the fat guy killed all his friends. Dude's supposed to be this elite warrior, he did nothing. Fatass was right there, he had the support of everyone else in the room. Just kept bowing like a loser. That scene was so fucking stupid.

>>287746466
Ryumon wasn't armed, anon. No-one in the audience chamber was supposed to be armed. You aren't allowed to be armed in the presence of the emperor. Taira Denki's men having weapons is even mentioned as being against the rules. What, did you expect Ryumon to fist-fight people wielding katanas? What if he did do that and, by some miracle, won? The Taira family would still control Yamato.

>>287746842
The fatass was behind all of it. He's the center of everything, the excuse about his family still being in control is wild. They're all idiots, he's the most evil and most dominant but he's physically weak. That was the golden opportunity to band together and kill him. That's why I'm saying Epic Soldier Man was a bitch. He sat and did NOTHING while all his friends were murdered. After all that glazing the previous episodes about how strong and brave and righteous he was even 100 men pushing on him while he was unarmed couldn't make him drop to his knees. He just showed his ass the whole time to a fat old pig. It's pathetic. Pure plot armor for the piggy.

Reading posts like this, I can only surmise that Netflix really has done permanent damage to the minds of viewers, they really do need everything explained to them like they're toddlers because they're not actually paying attention, otherwise they'll bitch about how it's "bad writing."

How many episodes is there gonna be in total? 12 or 20+?

>>287750363
This is why I don't interact with shit here other than surface level. You don't often get what you used to

I hate the constant internal monologues in this anime.

>>287750791
Yea, part of why I keep most of my discussion online these days to "[character] is my waifu" and "wow, that animation was great," or "the style here is awesome" is because a lot o the people who complain about how things are poorly written are clearly of the Netflix generation, and thus are not actually paying attention to what they're watching, they have it on while they're scrolling TikTok or something.
There's no way to have any form of deep discussion with someone who is basically non-human, so I don't bother.
When you try, you just end up with posts like >>287746960.

I don't know what you people are talking about. I'm two episodes in and the writing in this anime handholds you as much as any Netflix show or shonen anime I've seen. The characters are constantly narrating their thoughts and actions so you don't really need to actively pay attention

>>287751198
Yes, and there are still people who are so stupid that they cannot figure out character motivations and behaviors even when they're spelled out in the most direct way possible.
That is the issue, and why I consider such people to be non-human.

>>287751234
What motivated the emperor-type character to act like a bitch?

>>287751288
The fact that he's a bitch.
Why is he a bitch?
You may have to keep watching so that the show has time to explain that, which I know may be difficult if you're used to binge releases where everything is immediately explained in the span of 7-8 hours.
If you're not patient enough to wait for things to be explained, then sequential television may not be for you.

>>287751353
So you genuinely believe that a non sequitur scene that introduces a very important character should not even attempt to have setup and payoff? Not that's a hot take.

>it gets better 8 episodes in
No, I don't thing I'll keep watching. This show has proved itself to be clusterfuck nonsense with abysmal structure.

>>287751544
Yes, not every scene should have an immediate payoff, you're clearly of the Netflix generation I was describing.
As such, you're non-human, and further discussion would be pointless.

>>287750847
This is also how you tell the best threads of the season. They're comfy with non schizo waifu posting or they're just jokes like shizuku. The plot here doesn't really call for any serious speculation because they're still setting everything up. People just don't know how to have a discussion civilly. I usually also limit myself to the similar topics

>>287751576
It's fascinating how you're straight up unable to defend this show using logic and resort to petty insults. Quite ironic given the theme of the show actually.

So why do you believe that the payoff for this particular scene needs to be put off for later? In that one scene we got introduced to an important character, watched him humiliate himself, and then allow the atrocities committed in front of him to go unpunished. The scene simply ended on a hard cut. Nothing came out of it. So let me ask again, why do you believe that such an important event should not have immediate ramifications on the story?

Oh and by the way, mind answering my initial questions?

This is one of the most impressive shows this season. I have a lot of opinions on this, it's great fuel for discussion. But right now, what concerns me the most is the translation of the manga. I've read up to where it's been translated, but does anyone know if they're going to pick up the pace? It's been translated to volume 3 but there are 7 volumes out right now.

>>287754417

Despite being a political anime, all the political discussions are being herded by WHA while this show is being slept on everywhere except Japan.

>>287754639
WHA is just an unfortunate manga in many ways. But there isn't actual "political discussion" over there, just the usual culture wars stuff. Which kinda has to be discussed, don't get me wrong, and is definitely relevant to that work, but it's a tiresome, circular conversation where you invariably have to deal with retards who can't express themselves politely and coherently or the usual oblivious crowd that doesn't understand what is going on.

This, however, is an actual work of political fiction. And there's great stuff to be discussed like how Japan defaults unironically to insectoid Confucianism and the expected semi-rigid caste system. It's a really intriguing and thoughtful work.

>>287754671
>It's a hobby anon I don't think they go faster unless you volunteer to help tl for them.
Unfortunately there isn't much I could do to help, seeing as I don't speak Japanese. But I have to say that I've been refreshing the Mangadex page with more frequency than I care to admit. It's a surprisingly gripping read and the cliffhanger the latest translated chapter left us on is eating at me.

>>287754764
It's rather hard in Japanese as well as there's a lot of references and terms that I've been having trouble with so I've been reading it real slow. I can imagine if you're trying to translate into English that it would take even longer. I think it's just as thrilling as the anime. Is there no way to set up alerts, or buy the ebooks while they are on sale and use your PC read while MTL with your phone? There's a lot of ways to 'read faster' that modern fans forget about

>>287754826
Yeah, it's a though little manga. I can't imagine it's a work that is easy to translate. And I'm surprised that there isn't a dedicated page to TL Notes since I get the feeling that there is a lot of cultural context and references that are flying over my head, not to mention some of the author's idiosyncrasies.

The official subs for the anime are complete dog water though. So much untranslated stuff printed on screen that is just left there hanging. I'm not even complaining about the lack of a decent typesetting or other details that only obsessive hobbyists like us care about.

>>287754764
>defaults unironically to insectoid Confucianism and the expected semi-rigid caste system
that's not defaulting, that's just a smooth continuity from today to the future
Japan's always been like that

>>287755145
More or less. But yeah, I see your point. I would argue that Japan was forced to confront some of the most violent excesses of Confucianism after WW2 and to this day they're still trying to figure out a synthesis, but yes, I agree with what you're saying, this is something that you see as a completely integrated social view in all major Far East countries. What I meant by "defaulting" was returning to uber insectoid Confucianism, like there weren't any lessons learned. It's quite telling that the very first scene of the anime is Misumi having a seething sperg out about Catholicism, which to my mind is a very interesting Freudian slip on the part of the author, and it's interesting to see how there is a deafening religious silence permeating the story.

>>287755209

I don't know why people are so defensive about this anime. I think this anime is good overall but it's obvious that it has a low frame count. It has a ton of still images and scenes like this where the characters don't move besides flapping their lips

>>287755916
>t. Never watched anime before

>>287755916

Most anime have low frame counts but somehow this anime looks more uncanny than usual. I think it's the low frame rate combined with the lack of natural human movement that makes it feel like South Park style cutout animation sometimes

>>287755412
and it works

>>287754764
You normalfags who constantly bring up your weird anti-Japan vendetta to the board are insectoids yourselves and as bad as culture warriors. Though at least this is the deliberately jingoist anime that one would presumably watch for that reason and not Boku no Pico that's too Confucionist. Is a Westerner bad if he wanks Aristotle? I can't wait to hear whatever biased tribalistic "us vs them" propaganda brainrot you've come up with this time.

I just realized I should probably just buy the ura Sunday magazine. I like just about most of their current serializations (including nipsan)

The stiff animation style is similar to Cromartie High School.

>>287756194
I've probably been watching anime longer than you've been alive and I have a sincere respect and high admiration for the country of Japan. So you can stop it with your unwarranted rudeness, it makes for very poor online discussion.
>Is a Westerner bad if he wanks Aristotle?
Literally no one does that, there is no imposed Aristotelian or Platonic social order. The West lives in accelerated chaos. And the only people who remember the classics are generally the Christians who had to sanctify these works through scholasticism, arguably in an attempt to fully complete them, but again, these Christians do not dictate the normal social functioning, there isn't one example of a Thomistic nation. Confucianism on the other hand still haunts the Far East.

>>287754764
Can you elaborate on what you mean the confucianism and Japan here?

>>287757416
There is a return to the rigidity of the class system and very little individual expression. In its more benign form, this means subjection to higher authorities who will the elevation of all members of society through just and pragmatic rule, but of course this can be degenerated and result in tyrannies such as we see with the Taira clan.

Shigurui has a wonderful quote about the Edo period: "Feudal Japan was a society of a large number of masochists being ruled by a few sadists". It's a bit polemical and contentious statement, of course, and also the fictional Sangoku Period of Nippon Sangoku is an allusion to the Sengoku Period, not the Edo Period. But the point still stands, there isn't much to human beings other than them having to be elevated through benign political action, assuming all goes well, so everything is essentially homo politicus. And of course, conditions seldom are perfect for the Confucian society, and even in the best of times there is always an implied war against the human individual. Misumi exemplifies this well, he silences his anger against Taira when faced with injustice, and even concedes to a point the fairness of this execution, but only expresses his rage by trapping the tax collector in a petty legalistic bullshit argument. It remains to be seen if Misumi still harbours a vendetta against Taira, or better yet if he would allow himself such a thing given the power Taira wields and his social usefulness.

>>287758210
I always thought Nippon Sangoku is more like Genpei War, with Taira and all. But it does have influence from many places.
