Death Note is Shounen, not Seinen.

Guess Akame ga Kill isnt Shonen.

The label is pretty arbitrary and honestly shouldn't apply to anime-only series. It all falls on who is publishing the Manga/what magazines they show up in. I mean Jojo turned into Seinen after jumping magazines

I already answered it.

America isnt like other countries.

Our population is different, our diversity is different, our borders are different, our history is different.


You know what countries also have different population, diversity, borders, and history?

UK and China.

At least be like @Dark_Spiret and throw out specific differences and factors.

Mental health is a bigger issue and funding should be supercharged in those areas. Conservatives are doing a bad job ignoring public health and liberals need to bring that energy to issues that have the most impact. Banning guns is a lazy solution. Not doing anything is even lazier. Poverty and poor mental health results in crime and thats true worldwide


You're not wrong, mental health and the way we treat the mentally ill is a major problem in this country. But you can't lump all mass shootings and gun problems to "Well he's mentally ill". There are many disorders, and some do not have violence as a symptom. Should we take away the right of someone to protect themselves just because they have a history of depression and no violence/suicidal thoughts? I'm willing to bet, if mental illness is tied to a mass shooting, you're dealing with an antisocial, and it's pretty fucking hard to fix them. Better off restricting their access since they tend to have a record.

This all requires more of a change than just "Fund mental health/insurance" or "Ban ARs". Need to tackle all these issues at once.

I'll respond when I get off work since I'll have to source some shit, but they actually did offer to send then back to Africa (or Canada).

Unless they had an expedition force ready for the people they'd previously bought and enslaved, I cant imagine for them to get them back to places more in mid Africa like Equiano


I think it was mainly Liberia or thereabouts. It was more of an offer for them to help colonize places. I mean if you want look up colonization programs, that's what was offered.

I just don't see it. That provides no moral superiority to the loyalists whatsoever.

I can't fully agree with that statement.

The Spanish and them really fucked up the natives they found in Mesoamerica and such, but the English colonists did not have the same relationship with the natives they encountered. It varied by region because there were different tribes and differently minded colonists but overall relationships with Natives could be downright amicable. In Pennsylvania the Quakers got so friendly that they gave natives guns to help them hunt large game (the Quakers made many other questionable decisions). In the French & Indian War, both sides considered the Natives valuable allies and traded in exchange for guidance and war aid.

North America doesn't get very genocidey until manifest destiny and westward expansion definitively pushes natives fully out of their home grounds


They weren't exactly buddy buddy in the Chesapeake, but AFAIK it did ramp up around manifest destiny with all the relocations. Up until then it was disease and simple warfare.

Lol, if youre getting your mind blown by studying US history and siding with the British... I got some bad news for you if you decide to check out Brit history as well.


Well aware. Everyone has a nasty history, it's just funny how the American education system covered so much up. Also explains a lot of things over our history. I'm still glad the US is independent, but if I was in the revolution, fuck yeah I'd join the red coats or run away.

They're both similar in that majority sucks, but there are some gems once you find a subgenre that clicks. I personally enjoy more rap than metal, but I did grow up listening more to rap.

Punk/Indie/Electronic are better imo, but mix those with rap/metal and there can be some really good shit (along with horrendous trash somehow making death metal and cellphone rap seem amazing)

Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens - Dunno how I feel bout this. First 4 episodes? Amazing. Tried to watch the latest episode and....fuck man I can't give a shit. It's pretty boi assassins being casual. Granted I didn't finish the episode. I really don't care about baseball, stop blending genres.

It's really not a genre blend lol. Well, so far anyway. The baseball bit ties in to what advice Banba gives Lin.


It's not as of yet, but this show feels like it could easily go that way. I knew there were gonna be baseball metaphors, but I didn't expect "Hey this group of hitmen also have their own baseball team!". It's fucking stupid, like that's an easy way to find out who people are. I swear to God if that doesn't bite Banba in the ass I'll be even more upset.

I guess I expected the whole season to cover Lin and his issues, not for it to be resolves so fast. At this point there are no plot hooks I particularly care about.

I think I'm more disappointed than anything. I got more into Kokkoku and it seems to fill the void Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens left for me. After catching up on that, I'd replace Fate/Extra as AotS contender.

Picked up a few more animu, and can finally form opinions:

Citrus - I'm trash, but I enjoy this. Harumin and Yuzu are awesome characters. The melodrama is bad but still entertaining. It's not particularly good, but I don't even watch romance besides Toradora!

Darling in the Franxxx - Contender for AotS, which honestly isn't saying much. Like the art, glad we've gotten past the "get in the eva shinji" phase, nice cast & character dynamics. It doesn't do anything extremely well, but it's above average.

Pop Team Epic - Another contender for AotS. I'm sticking to the dub so I'm way behind. Besides the Bob Epic Team parts, the skits are either funny or go over my head in a nonoffensive way. Not to mention they actually got some VAs for the dub. Super niche, but fuck it.

Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens - Dunno how I feel bout this. First 4 episodes? Amazing. Tried to watch the latest episode and....fuck man I can't give a shit. It's pretty boi assassins being casual. Granted I didn't finish the episode. I really don't care about baseball, stop blending genres.

Kokkoku - Watched the first ep, forgot about it, watched 2 more, and hey: this ain't bad. Great OP and ED, main lead is cool, interesting drama. It's something.

Fate/Extra Last Encore - Prolly the 3rd contender, still have 1 more episode to decided. I never got into Shaft, but I liked their style. It's working pretty damn well here. Instead of flashy visuals, it takes a more artistic and unusual style. MC is crap but Saber is prolly the best Saber in all Fate anime. I like the narrative choices and how mysterious everything is.

Still need to catch up on Overlord.

I mained Switchaxe in 4u and Gen, along with Longsword. Played a little IG but was never as good as Switch. Never really used Greatsword or Bow, so those would be completely new to me.

Eventually I'll try to use all 4 and branch out, but I don't want to spread crafting resources too thin from the beginning. Gonna commit to 1 weapon type until I can easily upgrade enough weapons at once.

how I feel.

I've heard people say things like this before and I've never really quite understood it tbh. The universe is the universe. We all are what we are. I see no reason to try to unify it as one being and call it "god".

I think it's just a way to feel a little better about things. Because yeah, functionally it's no different from atheism.


It's more that I see the universe has qualities that are commonly attributed to concepts of God, and find them indistinguishable. It's not atheism for me at least because I lean on the side that there may be an outside "will" (or at least source of influence) that's less naturalistic.

I get the argument of saying this concept of God is just atheism, though I disagree as I draw meaning from labeling the universe as God (namely it is worthy of praise and find it a source of moral inspiration).
