@YoMomz @ugly_bastard_reborned While I see where you're coming from I respectfully disagree.
" it's escapism without pretense of being anything else. "
The japanese are well known for their attention to detail and alot of anime have much deeper meanings even though on the surface they may seem silly.
I would recommend watching the 1st 30m of angel cop and i promise you a feminist would LOVE this girl.

Sometimes it's useful to do a hard reset and go back to original source materials.
Here's a classic example of what I mean:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086456/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_2_tt_8_nm_0_q_the%2520girl%2520who%2520leapt
You may know it as an anime but 40 years ago it was also an actual movie. All the things you know & love in anime are there: high school, the uniforms, the traditions, etc..
I like this film because it shows how real this stuff used to be not even that long ago.
@UncleIroh @basedbagel @YoMomz A lot of media from Japan in the 80s was inspired in the US media.
