Ah yes, a constitutional monarchy, the instrument par excellence for establishing and maintaining an unjust peace. Yay.
Glibness aside, by the time Marie Antoinette was brought to the guillotine as depicted in the beginning of the manga, (16 October 1793) the Reign of Terror had been well underway. And Louis XVI didn't willingly transition to a more democratic monarchy, you silly goose, he was forced to, kicking and screaming.
(The original intent of the majority of the French National Assembly actually was a constitutional monarchy, but the King played hardball, starting by locking them out of their meeting room and stationing troops right outside Paris, and concluded, months later, with him refusing to sign the constitution until forced to at gunpoint by 7000 armed women who marched to Versailles from Paris, backed by 15000 National Guardsmen (and a dispirited Lafayette who was only nominally in command). This attitude turned the Assembly against him and towards republicanism.)
As for your whining about the Terror and Napoleon, the Terror banned slavery in France and her colonies, and Napoleon spread the French revolutionary Criminal Code everywhere he conquered, and you know at least one good thing it's recognized for doing? That's right: decriminalizing homosexual relations.
Ah yes, the prodigious musician, composer, fencer and cavalier, who was so moved by the Revolution's declaration of equal rights to all French people regardless of color that he volunteered for the Republican Army the moment it started recruiting. Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, colonel in charge of the Free Legion of the Americans of the South. And you consider a timeline where he is denied legal equality and remains as the Queen's music teacher without speaking ill of it? For shame.
This also happens with people. They can be absolute monsters and then turn around and do good things, in defiance of the easy narrative. And vice versa.
LET'S GOOOOO
Legal equality? I don't think you actually know the history of Joseph Bologne if you think he received anything even close to "legal equality" at any point in his life. The closest he got was being music teacher to Marie, to royalty, despite Mozart's backstabbing and thievery of his work.
I tried watching some of that Karl Marx anime, and man I can't get over the 3D model animation looking so damn cheap

e: "Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie" is the english title
I will say, I think it does a pretty solid job of making a character's gimmick feel like it's actually coming from their character rather than it just being time for that part of the story.
Controversial take Mob Psycho 100 is good and its OPs slap
Sorry to say but the writer is not even close to done using attempted rape, actual rape, or general bad things happening to women as plot devices.
I heard it was cute, gorgeously rendered in landscapes and food, and it is that.
No one told me this series was hilarious tho.
Strong Straight Man / Goofball Comedy. Well written, well voice acted.
Y'all never told me the show had a Super Saiyan Rosé Goku!
Man that sucks. Sorry thats in there and folk gotta watch out for that bs, but appreciate ya highlighting it as a warning.
The issue is that, as that video just posted points out, last season there was My Dress Up-Darling and this season has Kaguya S3. So is a very bad time to be a just mediocre romantic comedy, when strictly better shows are around.
EDIT: The best comparison is Horizon: Zero Dawn having to compete with Elden Ring, only worse because at least Horizon has robot dinosaurs and is very focused on them.
They got David Hayter to do the narration?!
I read it up until the sequel basically went "fuck it we magic now" with the martial arts and it was already sometimes toeing that line near the end of the first one
Akio Otsuka is the JP narrator and Rin's grandfather and also voices Big Boss and like everyone in Metal Gear who has Snake as part of their codename.
It's definitely into Cultivation territory now. Ki was always a thing though I feel like.
Ki was a thing, but it was mostly limited to stronger hits, faster speed, and more durable bodies so it fit the theme. Still martial arts focused, just Better martial arts. Once it starts going Cultivation that's when it spirals out of control FAST.
