“Rotting” is a state that won’t last past the middle 30s. By 2056 they’ll be fully decomposed.

A friend of mine just sent me a Facebook link that says that decomposed candidate #2 was caught taking bribes from corporations … and that they’re a communist.

They both start with C, so it sounds legit.

If you’ve ever watched Overlord you’d know the dead deserve to rule over the living

Depending on the tier of undead.

Anime has a disgustingly right wing bent, which should be expected from a country that’s been run by the right since 1955 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1955_System.

For someone that hates the right you make a lot of generalizations. Every country with power is a mess politically, but that says nothing about their art.

I’m not going to go on a quest for iskeai Reaganomics and general nationalistic and racist themes, but I’m sure you won’t have a hard time with some self study on that front.

That’s funny because if you actually watched Overlord you’d know Ainz’ goal (besides getting back to the real world) is to create a utopia where all races are equal. But keep throwing buzzwords if it makes you feel good.

I was making a general statement about when anime has a political theme, not on that particular anime. Though I guess you could find a utopian vision in a nation that views all to be equally worthless and champions genocide and calling the dark young of shub niggurath to stomp on people.

Only anime I know of where this is actually a thing is Attack on Titan, but I haven’t watched the last season (apparently it deviates from the source material, maybe for this reason, which is why I haven’t).

Yeah, I do like multifaceted morally grey and villainous characters with interesting or even aspiring motives. I highly recommend Hunter X Hunter, The number of characters in that anime that aren’t majorly flawed in one way or another you can count on your fingers. One of the communities favorite characters is a murderous pedo clown that serves as the main characters mentor and drop-in father-figure for a large part of the story. If you watch any single anime and never watch anime again, let it be HxH.

It’s almost like the main cast is supposed to be the bad guys

roguetrick ,

I actually wasn’t picking on overlord specifically, more like political and economic statements in anime tend to be right wing liberal stuff.

I’ve only finished the anime up to season 4, but I don’t think the theme is that “Nazarick is evil and evil skeleton overlord is fun”, but rather “do the ends justify the means Nazarick takes”, given that Ainz wants to create a utopia where all races live in harmony. It’s very interesting writing given how much time and humanity is given to side characters that are eventually destroyed or imperialized by Nazarick.

rockerface ,

They are somewhat nuanced and ideologically motivated bad guys, I’ll give you that. And it does make the anime interesting, especially compared to your standard isekai/VRMMO anime

jaybone ,

Question for tankies: China or Japan?

lath ,

You discriminating against the dead? Lifeism enabler!

Objection ,

MY rotting corpse just has some stiff joints, that’s all.

jaybone ,

Your CIS corpse does not conform to my reanimation identity.

ceenote ,

I’m concerned about the less rotted corpse employing living humans. Sounds like nepotism to me.
