it wasn't the typical "guy goes to a different world" either. Like you have "guy goes to another world with a cell phone" "Guy in another world cant die" etc.

konosuba is "Guy goes to another world where everybodys an asshole"

yep. but they are all lovable assholes in some way. you don't hate any of them

they do have an outward perspective

for example

you guys might like this little anecdote

i am in Japanese language class

my teacher is an actual old Japanese woman who moved here in the 70s

though she is Americanized, she is still very Japanese in her mannerisms and outlook on things

one day we were talking about the Japanese names for different countries

and when it came time to say Germany, she Sieg Heil'd to gesture it was Germany

i don't think anyone born in america would do that when they are a teacher in a college lol

Based teacher

so they 100% do have an outlook we lack

reminds me of the really old german women who would've been alive during that time who have been locked up for asking questions about things they don't recall happening

also, nazis are freely portrayed in anime without any fear of social stigma

think of how MUCH nazi imagery is in hellsing ultimate

oh shit tons

though they demonize the nazis (some of them), they also make the Major's stance very very understandable

and even relatable

he is actually right in some of the stuff he believes

when he gives his speech at the end

the war for sake of war isn't what i mean, but i like his outlook on what it is to be human

They don't portray fascism as evil in a lot of anime either. they portray it as a system of government, not a bloodthirst for minority blood.

yes

Remember that one Fullmetal Alchemist movie where Ed is trapped in 1920s Germany and encounters hitler at a beer hall?

yup, that one dude who's usually comic relief became a hardline supporter in it lol

straightfaced serious, no comedy

yes. turned all the characters on their heads. good show. both versions of FMA are good

and then in jojo (though i haven't watched it)

there's the nazi character

who is like beloved by everyone

lol

I see jojo memes everywhere, people seem to love it, but i've never actually watched it.

i always feel like im missing something

GERMAN SCIENCE IS ZE BEST IN ZE VURLD

Stroheim genuinely one of the best characters of that part in jojo

My brother is watching JoJo. he says its pretty good

I have no fucking idea where to begin with it, sub or dub etc.
