I never played the games, though
I'm operating on the assumption that the Castlevania series occurs in an alternate history where the church actually behaves in a stupid evil fashion. And that's how I've basically compartmentalized it.
One of the dumbest yet most entertaining anime’s ive ever seen was the GATE anime.
GATE was pretty good.
I just loved it for the dumb action
@Gservator Then it's not *your* definition of irrational. And that's fine. Are you going to argue that people generally make conscious and deliberate choices to take them further from their chief objectives?
Also not actually that dumb. Did a good job of avoiding being contrived.
I liked that blood bath.
@Miniature Menace no, it's not THE definition
>For Whom The Bell Tolls, instead of the in-show meme of Ride of the Valkyries
Not sure how I feel about this.
Also, this was _long_ before the church had any of the reformations that has calmed it down today. This was presumably before the Protestant-Catholic wars, in a territory right on the edge of Islamic invasion, in the grip of several competing monotheistic religions (Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam, whatever remnants of paganism remained)
I just grabbed the top search result.
It’s been a couple years since I watched it
@Gservator I literally don't care. Because that's not really what I'm arguing about. My criticism is related to *my* definition. Address how my argument is actually invalid using the way I have described my criticism.
Yeah, this was right on the cusp of the collapse of the Byzantine Empire and Islamic threat, then
Regardless, really sad that Bookwalker doesn't have it
Religious zealotry against due to hostile foreignersbwould have made religious tensions very high
Whether or not the definition you use for "reason" corresponds to the way I use it has no bearing on whether what I'm describing is how people generally behave.
I've got some /ak/ translations at least, but those aren't as convenient.
And the Catholic Church was certainly corrupt
While the scale might be overblown
@HurtChain thats a pretty good anime
Not just that @Nevis but the church is justified due to demons and vampires actually existing
I have practically 0 knowledge of anime, so I’m glad other people appreciate it as well.
I personally chalked that partly up to an insane rogue element of tbe church rather than the _entirety_ of Catholic clergy being that degree
That's what I'm here for lol
Pretty much all I’ve seen for anime is gate, parasite, attack on titan, and death note
affirming good taste and mocking bad taste
Death Note is great.
Manga of Attack is better
Haven't seen the others.
only the first half of death note
AoT's biggest problem is pacing
@Nevis you don't think vampires and demons actually existing would kick zealotry up to an 11?
Yeah, the second half is weaker.
I fucking loved parasite
