anime is legitimately only so popular because of the nukes, no meme
I read something somewhere once that basically explained that the person who got manga to be so popular in Japan originally starting doing it because japan’s suicide rates spiked after the war, whether it be because of fallout contamination or general depression as a result of losing the war and now having a shit tier economy

because of the widespread economic and general emotional population the people found solace in these comics that were being made in specific joyful tones for the people

then anime came along because of that
so thanks, Hiroshima and Nagasaki
So you're saying two nukes weren't enough?

Anime is a the only downside of the nukes dropped on Japan during WW2. I do see a direct link between the nukes and anime. There are many things it could show.

One; It may be a sham to trick the west into trusting them and making them seem weak even though they hide their true imperialism dreams.
Or
Two; The fallout and radiation may have melted their brains and caused them to become fucking retarded.... we will never know..



Shit gets real at the 56 minute mark.

Was watching the new Girls und Panzer Movie/Episodes and noticed a metal gear reference.

Obviously 4chan noticed it as well

hop around to grabbing the light novels on amazon, they're actually pretty decently written. they're like $8-15 a pop in paperback or you could just torrent a rip of the e-book version
which is better, fan translation or official translation?
