I watch an episode of this every time I have some good beer and need to wind down. I'm currently at ep 10 I think. I'll make a thread to discuss the fat Okinawan supremacy when I'm done with the rest of the series someday in the future

they're terrible
but then again the main point of this anime was most likely not to sell BDs in the first place
so the BDs don't really matter all that much

Manga has barely enough material for it now.
And it was very popular with the elevens, so it's not out of the question.

The US occupied Okinawa for a significant bit of time and they taught them to be car-dependent. Today everyone in Okinawa drives every distance longer than the car, there's no trains at all, it has Japan's worst traffic jams, and everyone's fat.
I didn’t even care the show was just constantly shilled jap propaganda, all I could think about was marrying Kaanaa and breeding the ever loving shit out of her

Anon, believe it or not but outside the western world depicting your country in a positive light is still common

I sort of get it, you're watching a glorified advertisement and you need to be able to push that to really enjoy the show. Also if you're very cynical you get stuck on the level that the series is just selling you fantasy and feel like it's cheating on some level
>>280041386
Pretty much my feelings entirely towards the show. I’m glad I finally managed to stop being such a miserable bastard, because aside from the parts that are basically advertisements, it’s still a fun watch and Kaanaa is still very breedable
>>280036864
If it was just a “tourism commercial” at the expense of quality I’d be annoyed but the anime was genuinely enjoyable. I don’t mind advertisements so long as quality isn’t sacrificed
>>280041386
That's how I felt about Super Cub. Couldn't get the "every scene is just an excuse to advertise that shitty motorcycle" feeling out of my head.

This is an extremely worthless convo because we both are fully aware that the show is promoting Okinawa for tourism purposes, but you just choose to be dishonest about it because you think it devaluates the show
>>280044013 >but you just choose to be dishonest about it
How am I being dishonest? Calling it a “tourist commercial” is inaccurate. Yes it does promote Okinawa but it’s not a commercial, it’s a series with characters and a storyline
>>280044123 >How am I being dishonest?
Because even after the clarification that it's not "just" a commercial for Okinawa you still keep being extremely upsetti over the wording that obviously applies to how Okinawa is portrayed. Besides, even the basic 30 sec TV commercials usually feature characters and a storyline, so your entire media analysis is just dumb and an obvious veil to you thinking somebody is attacking a series you like. Now couple posts in you can't really admit any of this so you'll just keep lying for optics because you didn't like a word
>>280044123 >nooo it's not a commercial >okay it promotes Okinawa >but it's still not a commercial because I don't like commercials!!
It's a commercial, anon
>>280044123
Bro don’t be fucking dense. I like the show, but when 2/3s of the dialogue is devoted to explaining how whimsical Okinawa is, you’d be retarded to conclude it’s anything but an advertisement
>>280044419 >>280044488 >>280044649
An advertisement is an advertisement, a series is a series. A series can have advertisements in it but that doesn’t mean the series in of itself is an advert/commercial. If you can’t understand this I don’t know what else to say
