You will only realize their importance once they're gone, anime war stories won't be the same.

I realize their importance right now.

>anime war stories won't be the same.
you mean the same way WWII war stories in american cinema?

They were only little kids when the war was happening.

doesn't matter they lived through it and the the immediate aftermath.

I didn’t like grave of the fireflies, not just because it’s sad. But because well I don’t like how Japanese stories about the war seem to overwhelmingly focus on the civilian toll of the Japanese people. While never once acknowledging that they were the ones who started the war. Much Less things like the germ warfare they conducted in Manchuria or the Sex Slaves in Korea.

I don't want Miyazaki die. I don't care how lame it sounds.

user, that was by Takahata. He passed away 2 years ago.

Ishiro Honda conveyed the message of war being bad better than any of them.

I can’t wait for them to be gone.

Chinese and Koreans deserved everything they got, and then some.

I just know your brain is smooth.

you're so edgy and cool user :) I totally respect you.

The scene from Proco Rosso where the thousands of planes ascend to the afterlife is apparently taken from one of Roald Dahl's WW2 short stories.

You gooks and chinks should be banned from using the Internet.

grave of fireflies is literally based on the actual author's life though, it's not make believe.

also, it's more about the horrors of war in general and its toll on civilians, and children. not just japanese people. if you can't see the universal message, you're just dumb.

What’s fucked is Japanese schools don’t even teach the history as they should, so new generations are totally oblivious to these types of storytelling and anti-war narrative.

It's going to be new era.
Those are "big names". And there is not so much big names in anime compared to book/movies industry. Because of this they able to push agendas and their opinions. Soon they will be disappear. All big names. No one will able to talk shit and push their opinions.

>20 yo Zig Forumstard talking about generations and Japan
peak chuu2

>messages of anti-militarism and peace are bad
????

You see those massages even in VN. Watch more anime outside your big names and rec lists. They're not unique and thought provoking.

except they are because these people actually lived through it. imagine thinking generations removed from reality can have any sort of gravity and realism to their message.

who cares

me. i do.

this is quite true. i had classes with a blind dude who was a child soldier during the civil war in angola, he lost his vision there. he talked a bit about his story and all, said some pretty shocking things, you really cant think that sort of stuff without going through it, you can try and imagine it, but you will not have that weight in your voice.

>Its another boomer cock-sucking thread.
Le sigh.

Little children started the war? interesting

Based

good for you

>imagine thinking generations removed from reality can have any sort of gravity and realism to their message
No, and?
I would argue Sophism is right: Making a argument do not make it correct. There is no weight from the experience, the weight depends on the speaker being presentable.

The actual case is far simpler: If you have not experienced it, you have not experienced the ramifications, which means your perspective is erring.
This err means "Nihon Strong" doesn't understand that war has a cost, and that there is opponents out of your weight class. The err is what causes the lack of gravity and groundedness, not the experience being a weight.
The problem is further amplified by the fact Miyazaki is a defeatist.
Tomino understands that war has a cost, that might be worth paying, even if its unpredictable and savage.
And I haven't read enough Leiji Matsumoto to have a opinion on him.

But the most valuable from these men are not the WW2, but the extreme struggle Japan went trough after, which was some insane growing pains. These men got to have a opinion on those growing pains, from a adult perspective.

>Ancestor sins
lmao

Reminder that burgers is probably the country which killed the most in the past century

That's still Nazi germany. But America is absolutely number 2.

>removed from reality
wartime is not our reality anymore dude. we don't have to live in constant fear about getting bombed for the time being.

>we don't have to live in constant fear about getting bombed for the time being.
Nuclear holocaust(overrated) and WW3 with random assets is still just one high level escalation away.
The only time that wasn't true, was when the USSR stockpile of nukes ended up in Ukraina, and Ukraina left the USSR, becausee the USSR folded.
