   Lazarus, the new anime by the Cowboy Bebop director, has a decent story: In the year 2049, a scientist created a painkiller pill that was cheap and effective and had no side effects. The whole world started using it, and then the scientist disappeared. in 2052, he re-appeared and announced that there WAS a side effect: he put nanomachines into each pill that would kill the user after 3 years, and that time was almost up. Also, he has a cure, so try to find him in the next 30 days!
   
   But the poz levels in Lazarus are high. It has to frequently remind us that trannies good, crossdressers good, black people good (they always overcome le racism because they are geniuses), WHITE MEN BAD, white men uncool, especially rich white tech bros, who always use date-rape drugs. Oh, and it's heckin super brave to tell people about global warming.
   
   Yes, I will bitch about this on the podcast next week.

     @noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.world Lol imagine actually being mad about a transgender side character existing.
     
     Lazarus has been nothing but absolute peak and with 4 episodes being out it is pretty much my favorite 2025 anime so far I think.
     
     Attributing what you're seeing to modern "globohomo" DEI shit means you're looking at this from your rightoid chud vision goggles.
     
     The cast of Cowboy Bebop was just diverse as Lazarus and also contained many dark skinned and/or genderfucked characters.

     @noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.world Promote tranny shit?
     
     Jill is a transgender character, who just exists. The show doesn't say this as a good or bad thing. It's just a character who happens to be trans.
     Bebop also had an episode about a guy who fucked up his body with estrogen injectionsAlso Guren from Cowboy Bebop is actually intersex and was forcibly given experimental drugs in prison. His estrogen spike reaction to the experimental drugs was likely caused by his intersex biology. He's not transgender.
     
     Also Cowboy Bebop contains multiple (implied) gay scenes.

     @SuperDicq When you're surrounded by people pushing for progressive politics IRL it becomes second nature to notice the patterns in fiction as well.
     
     Provided Lazarus doesn't sacrifice the attributes that matter it should be tolerable. Making note of them isn't a bad thing, just means you have a functioning temporal lobe.

     @thatbrickster@shitposter.world @noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.world I personally think Watanabe is one of my favorite anime directors and I don't think he is suddenly influenced by the woke or something stupid like that.
     
     The point I'm trying to make is that his scifi is not identity-politics (like how OP interprets it), but I believe instead it is post-identity-politics, like any good futuristic science fiction should be.
     
     I'm mostly trying to prove that Watanabe has always been like this. It's no secret that he is a big of fan of Ridley Scott's Bladerunner's take on diversity and I believe this influence can be consistently seen in any of his shows from Cowboy Bebop, to Animatrix, to Space Dandy, to and now towards Lazarus.

     @SuperDicq I have refrained from saying anything about the show because I haven't watched it. Like I said, noticing patterns between reality and fiction isn't a bad thing. If that makes anyone a 'shizo' (schizo but w/e) then there's nothing for you to discuss and are free to leave.

     @SuperDicq @noyoushutthefuckupdad If I was that upset about trannies in anime, I would have posted Hana and told people how the industry is full of faggots years ago. What miffs people is the taste of forced diversity that makes. This makes productions like Lazarus as Japanese as GI Joe and brings us the real garbage like the Adult Swim FLCL sequels. Knowing the industry they'll animate anything for Fink. Just don't get surprised when people consider the resulting shows as some of the weakest productions.

     If they actually fuck it up, they lose money. Even John Cho couldn't save that whatever bullshit thing Netflix tried to do to Cowboy Bebop. My understanding is that False Ed didn't show up until the end, but I saw what they did with Vicious where they turned him into some conventional Regular Movie Bad Guy and gave him *henchmen* for him to yell "Bungling fools, you have failed me for the last time!" at and every time I walked through the room with that shit on the screen my ex kept saying "It's not *that* bad!" and I kept saying "I didn't say shit!" and she changed her mind about two or three episodes in.

     Ed doesn't do this in Japanese. Ed does refer to herself in the third person by name, but this is a common thing in anime for children, girls, robots, and screwballs.

     @Zergling_man @SuperDicq I don't know what is a dosanko but I've met adult-ass married women that do it in order to sound cute. I don't know if the quirk of speech is them imitating anime or if it predates anime but in anime you see, like, cavemen and robots and kids do it. The little kid in Totoro did this. And they don't just do it with their own names, they use everyone's names instead of any pronouns, Ed does this, too. Ed is aggressively not sexual because she's a little kid and is, besides that, a computer nerd that has been living alone in a cave for god knows how long.

     @p @SuperDicq @maxmustermann @noyoushutthefuckupdad The guy that played Jet tried his absolute best to not make that show a steaming pile of shit, but people know a steaming pile of shit when they see one. At least it was hated enough to make Netflix learn a lesson, which is kind of impressive.

     GodDAMN, I forgot about "Cuties".
     
     I had lady at the time and, like a lazy parent, I reasoned that it was pretty cheap to use Netflix to shut her up. I kept laughing whenever that moustache guy talked because he'd say "Pikey Blinders" and...I mean...

     @p @SuperDicq @maxmustermann @mrsaturday I quit using Netflix when they stopped offering DVD delivery (and I stopped living in an area with a terrible internet connection). I thought more people would have stopped paying them after Cuties.

     @mrsaturday @SuperDicq @maxmustermann @noyoushutthefuckupdad I do have these, these are pretty funny.
     
     But I'm not givin' Netflix any dang money, not since they started playing algorithmic darts with plot points.

     @p @SuperDicq @maxmustermann @noyoushutthefuckupdad Yeah, they're not as aggressive about it now. They haven't really changed their ways, just dialed it down a bit.

     I mean, just pirate shit instead of sending $20/month to people on the Epstein flight logs.

     @noyoushutthefuckupdad @p @SuperDicq @mrsaturday I stopped using netflix when their original programming went to shit I found out that they turned around and made business with the Obamas. The only shame that this happened to the same place that had Buddy Thunderstruck.

     @maxmustermann @SuperDicq @mrsaturday @p Netflix absolutely slaughtered video rental stores (good riddance, I don't care if you have happy memories of Blockbuster) and became a gigantic megacorp. they should have used their money and influence for good, but they clearly became evil.

     @maxmustermann @noyoushutthefuckupdad @SuperDicq @mrsaturday You say this like it's not inherent in the VC model.
     
     If you require a lot of starting capital and you are a tech company, then you have some pretty limited choices. Most VC companies, when they do the big post-seed rounds where they're giving someone $50m, $100m, right? Series A/B? They're playing with hedge fund money. They are using Blackrock or whoever, and the money ultimately comes from 401(k)s, government employee pensions, etc.
     
     Netflix buys a shit-ton of DVDs and BluRay discs and what do you expect happens? Like, it's not even a "spooky ESG at a distance" thing at that point, it's that the big hedge funds give their money to VCs they like and they like VCs that share their values. This is the business model. Nobody agrees to give you $100m of their own money. Sequoia doesn't have that much cash just laying around to hand out to a few hundred Delaware LLCs.

     It was nice putting together a couple Euros with other kids on the weekend and renting a VHS or a DVD, then going to the library with a reservation for the small movie theater and playing it, just a couple guys eating snacks and watching movies.
     
     My towns video rental store had porno movies for everybody to see, all over the shop, but they were on the very top shelf, as if children cant look up haha.
     
     There was this guy who walked with crutches, he would be there every weekend, asking the store owner for a recommendation for his next porno rental, he'd rent a new porno while we were renting our movie, every single weekend.
     
     Shop died as I was on my late teens.
