Also, I think according to most fascists intelligence is useful but ultimately for soy boy intellectuals, not as glorious as Virile Strength. And many young fascists probably grew up with anime so that may also be a factor
Nah any modern race realist you talk to these days would much sooner rank the races by IQ rather than brute strength. I think it's pretty obvious why lol.

Now while I'm not a big fan of anime, I'd consider Spirited Away to be a masterpiece.

Yeah Ghibli has a much broader appeal than most anime, I know plenty of people who don't like anime other than Ghibli.

Miyazaki being left wing as f*ck kinda puts a dampen on his Nazi appeal though.

Spirited Away specifically - the music, the stunning visuals, the engaging story, the world-building, it's all top notch. I saw it when I was younger (I think Cartoon Network/Toonami might have aired it?) so perhaps nostalgia has biased me, but has Ghibli released any other films on the level of Spirited Away? I tried My Neighbor Totoro once, but that didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Have you ever watched an anime?
I believe much of it doesn't cross the pond cause anime dweebs don't want the Japanese equivalent of Dora the Explorer, and while the age range of anime is broader than Western cartoons have historically been there's a lot less made for people older than young adult. Big3 is a simpleton obviously but he's not technically wrong.

Princess Mononoke is the one to challenge Spirited Away but I'm also partial to Castle in the Sky.

Yeah, I was going off what I've seen hit the western market. I know nothing about what anime are specifically popular in Japan among any demographic, much less the younger demographic. That said, I would make a distinction between children and young adult. While a show like DBZ or Naruto can be consumed and enjoyed by young adults, it can't really so much by children (the target demographic of shows like Dora the Explorer or The Wiggles). When it comes to anime that's popular in the west, I can't think of any made for children specifically.

I'll check them out. Not sure if there's a great place to stream those in HD - so I might just pick up the blurays if they're not too expensive. I've had my eyes on a Ghibli blu-ray boxset, but the price has never been right for me (it's been sitting in my Amazon wishlist).

Not sure about that, but I do know that many Chinese still hold a grudge against Japan for Nanking - who could blame them?

I have made a few unsuccessful attempts to enjoy anime. I dunno why but it loses my attention really quickly. Probably cause it's created for Asian children, who have notoriously high IQs

My favorite version of anime fan is nerdy black guys who wear dragon ball z shirts.

Are you saying you're too dumb to enjoy DBZ?

I definitely lack the attention span. 1 dragon ball z fight is literally like 30 mins long and 25 of those minutes they're just standing off
