Tobe fare, both Mamoru and Akira focus mostly on visuals and do the bare minimum when it comes to writing/storytelling.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 train wreck general
That's the weirdest thing to say about Ooshi. The dude usually writes equally pretentious shit to go his directing style. The only times he lets others do the scriptwritting is in something like Patlabour, which wasn't his own(it's 95% Masami Yuki's brainchild and Yutaka Izubuchi provided the look of the Labours). Or see Angel's Egg for the matter. The dialogue is pretentious shit but not the bare minimum.
As for idols, that is indeed true, it was an actual fad back then and it was about that time that people could make money by "bishounen"-ising famous men and famous samurai. The page in question :
Meanwhile, the real Toshizo(the guy with his cut arm in his mouth) probably looked like that :
The reason for effeminate men and why they were around samurai mostly instead of the common folk was due to a "tradition" practiced by the Lords of the fiefs, who had multiple wives and squires or "pages", who they usually fucked. Oda Nobunaga for example was rumoured to have fucked Mouri Ranmaru, a very effeminate young boy, many more times than his own wife, the strike beauty Noh.
And of course whenever you had some chads like Keiji or Masamune, who denounced such practices and called everyone a fag, they were treated like the blight of lords or worse : they were called punks. Or "Basaramono" in that period :
My guy, that was the tradition everywhere. Women were banned from theatre because it was one of the most manly things ever and only men could play real women.Le Redditeur wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:06 pmGirly men is a bona fide Nipponese tradition. Kabuki theater didn't have female.actresses, but it had female roles (played by traps).
Kawakami Gensai was short, even for a nip but he wasn't effeminate. The reason Watsuki made Kenshin into this effeminate dude was because he saw a Takarazuka play based on "Moeyo Ken" and it had Gensai played by a very striking woman and he based Kenshin's appearance on that. Kenshin is also partly designed after Haohmaru from Samurai Spirits, a series Watsuki is a huge fan of.Le Redditeur wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:06 pmAnd remember that the character Kenshin Himura is based on a real assassin that was both short-sized and effeminate.
And speaking of idols, there's a scene in the Kenshin manga where the girl from the restaurant asks Sanosuke to buy a gravure of one of the Shisengumi guys - according to Watsuki, that was based on a real fad from the time, and famous members of certain feuds and squads were really popular among the masses.

Those manga links ain't workin'.
Actually, kabuki started out as female performance art before the 3DPD got banned for being too raunchy for the people in charge.

Oshii does put effort into dialogue, but personally speaking, I thought most of it was just there to sound cool rather than support the story, plot, or characters.ban wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:41 pmThat's the weirdest thing to say about Ooshi.

Hilarity ensues.
Gov got interested what those fags are doing, so they will have their eye on CDPR, how they are processing refunds right and don't do any shady shit and monitor what and how they will do to fix that shit. If they won't do anything to fix everything, they will get slammed with 10% off their profit as punishment
This might be best dumpster fire of 2020-2022.

I knew you were an immortal, I’m gonna start calling you Methos or something. Wait wait, are you the actual Orpheus?ban wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 6:43 pmOh for sure but compared to the shit these people peddle, Mamoru Ooshi may as well be Akira Toriyama in how artsy-fartsy he is.
And how much soy do you need to infuse to start thinking like that? Seriously! Japanese consume it with every veggie they eat and each time they eat fish for centuries and they don't come off as gay. And keep in mind, they do this shit these days :
I like how one of the hosts is straight up named Yamato, as if he's the peak of masculinity like the prince of the myth who was japanese Hercules
