I like most shonen and seinen. I like any jrpg that isn’t aimed at kiddos. I consider Kojima the most talented game director, the only talented and active game auteur.
Death stranding directors edition was the game I enjoyed most this year.
Does any of that help narrow down?
I like anime. I like edgy. I like strong yet basic appeals to emotion. I like it when there is at least an attempt at social commentary. If it’s hamfisted to the point of being humorous I consider that a bonus.
Both at the same time:
Ignore the dolphin stuff.
the nuke stuff while not exactly wrong is him being doom pilled and overly optimistic about nuclear winter at the same time. Shades of mark fisher using nukes as a standin for capitalist realism.
the alien stuff (as far as I interpret it) isn’t meant to be taken entirely literally). IE an inter system (yet alone intergalactic) alien species can only exist if they fix the capitalism problem first ergo they must be socialist at minimum and if they exist and arrive here they’ll be comrades. More of a way of demonstrating that until we move past capitalism we can’t move past being doomed to die with and on our cradle planet.

Lmao we are all fucked. I feel greatly reassured that my “fuck health because this world isn’t worth maximizing my time in” position is proved correct. Imagine not caring about children being repeatedly infected with a. Disease that can cause brain damage. Maybe humanity isn’t worth it.
