Canceled Culture on Science Saru

What the fuck are you on about? A shit series is a shit series. It has fuck all to do with racism and more to do with:
- Retarded deaths;
- Bad animation and character design;
- The tone deafness of the cast versus what is happening around them;
- The worst Engrish I've heard in years;
- The message of the last episode (Japan Stronk) doesn't fit the rest of the series ((traditional) Japan bad).

Yes, cancel culture is a disgusting (American) thing but this ain't it buddy.

ah yes tone-deafness of characters in extreme distress situations. what do you expect of them? cry all day? what a weak criticism, these characters act fairly realistically considering what they go through.
Also thats not engrish, thats just badly acted english you absolute racist.
And why are the deaths r-slurs? Theyre shocking for effect, showing how flimsy a human life can be, expecially in catastrophic situations like these, showing how violent nature can be.

Of course this show was made for a western audience that's why Netflix is allover it. It has nothing to do with racism or propaganda it's just a bad show, there isn't some stupid ulterior motive

You would say, but that is the point, the anime goes against the Japanese ultra nationalism

Badej said:

You mean, just carrying one with your life as if nothing happened? Like when the dad died? Yes, super realistic.

JOBEY-C1 said:

Lol what? The anime was steeped in japanese nationalism. Especially the end where Japan still had an olympic team and an e-sports team even though Japan didn't even exist anymore.

can somebody please translate whatever the fuck this man said.

i cannot tell if he is an actual japanese nationalist or being ironic

Fluggyboi said:

gintokisbicep said:

Fluggyboi said:


why would you refer to them with masculinum, they even say theyre non-binary on their profile

gintokisbicep said:


you realise it's slang right??? "mans" can refer to anybody, no matter the gender. same way people say bruh or bro or whatever. wasnt trying to be transphobic or anything, just british slang mate.

A lot of the Japanese backlash it's receiving on social media like Twitter does give a fair amount of importance to the image it gives of Japan, the attitude of Japanese towards disaster, etc. That's what OP is referring to. Even if the anime mostly sucks for pretty much every reason you can think of.

He's wrong and Japanese people are quick to get butthurt if you make Japan look bad in the same vein as China. You need to know about Japan for this show to really understand it. This what I get looking up this country years back.

Japanese people are extremely prideful and honorable. Japanese peopel are very nationalistic. They are super patriots similar to some republicans here in America. They love their country and think its perfect. They have used anime before to push certain forms of propaganda for example in retsuko season 2 they legit have a message begging Japanese people to have kids at the end of it. So yeah.....they are also heavy isolated as msot don't leave outside of Japan for their whole life.

I have done too much research on this before and this show is so on the fucking mark, it's fucking scary how accurate it is. I bet if someone makes a show exposing all of the shit about America, people here would be fucking pissed off. This show requires lots of context and knowing Japan to really understand it and in some cases, enjoy it.
