I just watched the anime and I'm currently reading the manga to just catch up, but I did a cursory search of google for my question and didn't come up with anythingIf there's all these dudes called Givers out there, it feels narratively appropriate that eventually we're going to find a faction or force, called either Receivers or Takers. You know, Give and Take, Better to Give than Receive, and this force will be people/things that, instead of providing Anima into objects to make weapons, are beings that can draw Anima out from things and pull it into their own bodies for power. Givers represent Artists in a technical sense, Takers could represent the ideas guys, inspired and buzzing with ideas from other people's work if not personally creative themselves, full of energy for energy's sake. Maybe that's what a Trash beast with a Vital Tool instead, just some force trying to draw in Anima to be alive or stronger.Idk, what do you think of the shonenslop, I never really see /a/ talk about it.
>>288479406That's a Kubo way of thinking.
>>288479419Kubo for all his faults made a successful shonen. That requires understanding the genre, and the tropes that make it go.
>>288479406That's just Raiders innit
>>288479502No those are Givers but they're bad guys. Unless Zodyl does stuff I didn't really understand watching the anime.
>>288479406You should continue reading the manga because the most recent arc addresses this directly.
>>288479444Mangas don't work like a cooking recipe, you won't get a One Piece level success by imitating Oda.
>>288479406women can't write shonen
>>288479578FMA was writen by a woman.
