I'm no expert how far Japan went in this universe but if spirit was important in warfare than chinks would've won through pure despair. They went through some hard shit in decades of war with Japan AND themselves.

US didn't need to do a full invasion. It literally could've just sat in the water and kept fire bombing Japan and millions would die from starvation (Which was already projected).

The nukes were a test and quicker way to get the war to end.

The emperor part is on the fault of MacArthur being a dumb ass.

>>156222268
The Germans already lost to the Russians, the Allies delivered a crucial blow but Russia was the big guy that the Germans feared.

Japan was getting destroyed by Russia as well and lost several important naval battles, they where so fucking desperate they where trying to shame people into driving manned torpedoes because they lacked the economy to sustain a full war vs the incoming Russians and the Americans.

The japanese refused to give up and tried a bail out with the Russians, Murica drops the freedom bomb, Japan is still trying to hold on to its pride, Russia makes another advance and the japanese start to fear for themselves, Murica drops the second freedom charge.

Japan BTFO in an epic fashion.

Japan tried to hold up its traditions in the most coward way possible, they where willing to sacrifice their citizens to preserve their fucking emperor and their stupid traditions.

As a result they became the perfect testing ground for the nukes since Murica preferred to avoid sending more soldiers to their deaths, did I also mention that they wanted to show their new toy to the Russians?

It's a shame for the civilians, but you can blame "Muh emperor" for this shit, they didn't want to give up after the first nuke, remember that.

The bombs were dropped to prevent Russia from going gibs me dat on Japan like they did with Germany. It was a show of power. If Japan surrendered to US they would become their subject nation, meaning if Russia tried anything they would be entering war with the united states and would've given them a justification to use the bombs on Russia. Europe wouldn't object, either. Britain was already planning to start world war 3.

It was by far the single strongest move the united states could make and was hugely beneficial to Japan as well.

There would be no fighting, at least not openly. Russia was still allied with the united states. It would've been a repeat of Germany where all the allies tried to rush in to take land before the end and result in a split of Japan just like East and West Germany which destabilized Germany until 1990.

By them surrendering to the US before any sort of invasion they were able to salvage some of the government, such as the emperor, which greatly aided in preventing further destabilization and sped up the recovery which led to their sovereignty as early as 1952.

Russia had actually declared war and started invading Japanese controlled territory outside of Japan itself on august 9th, later that day the second bomb was dropped. On august 14th Japan surrendered to the allies but the soviet invasion continued until September 2nd when Japan formally signed the agreement on the Missouri.

Short of actual hostilities between the US and Russia, which the formal surrender would entail because Russia would be attacking US occupied territory, they wouldn't have stopped.

In just about every 'cultures clash' setting, there's ALWAYS a scene where foreigners lose their shit over Jap raw fish '''cuisine'''
They always talk up their historical figures to be on par with shit like Caesar

OP is dumb because it's not even that they disagree with it, they're acting as if the story is lying about history rather than just being alternate history fiction. But that doesn't make the story any less retarded simply because Man the High Castle got a popular adaptation. It's been pinfluential primarily because it was way to examine how history played out and that creeping horror of what the future might be like under a Nazi victory that was very present in the mind of the world 70 years ago. It wasn't some butthurt German making a story about how awesome it would've been if Germany had won.

Not that the immediate question matters either, because most people don't know or care about niche Japanese masturbatory alternate histories. And the ones that do are mostly weebs anyway so it's right up their alley.

De jure he did, de facto he didn't. The Emperor was a ceremonial figure for most of the war, uninvolved in the actual military shit.

You seem to be ignoring that my issue here is how big pussies Americans are about this shit.

I don't like it any more than you do anon, but pretending that appealing to the nip readers is not super fucking relevant is a bit myopic. Manga and anime are still primarily meant for a Japanese audience.

>If you want a basis of comparison of how to make Japan relevant and interesting without having to do a total nationalism jerk, look at Code Geass.
Code Geass goes to the other end of the spectrum: it plays into Japan's ridiculous victimhood complex about the war. It's sort of part and parcel of the gung ho "we wudda won the war" stuff too. One plays to the nationalistic dream, the other to the nationalistic victimhood complex born out of the failure of the former.

I'd say Shin Godzilla did it better, though that's not anime.

I wouldn't exactly be praising Code Geass if I thought that America losing ever was a bad thing. Hell, America proper never gets to fucking exist in Code Geass due to butterfly effect fuckery. That's neat. That's interesting.

Japan having the main deposit of the new fuel and being highly successful at trade before they get the same sort of treatment many oil-rich countries have received over the years in our own history. That's plausible, that's interesting.

I'm not against alternate history, just either give a plausible reason for it to happen or give it a meaningful impact on the story. Don't just go "BTW we won WWII :^)" to make yourself feel better about getting nuked.

Why? You're not the target audience so why does your opinion matter?

>And the only people who get this bothered are butthurt Americans who can't stand their history being disrespected.
You don't have to give a shit about America to care about this. History being disrespected is something that can piss off anyone of any nationality. Many people who like history think it's ridiculous when people write "feudal" settings which look nothing like actual feudal societies (whether in Europe, Asia, or anywhere else), and not because they're time travelers from a thousand years ago.

I like alternate history that takes itself seriously. Zipang, for example, actually bothers to the historical realities of the era. If people are just going to change random shit on a lark and not care, I don't mind that either - it's just obviously some random bullshit that's part of the setting and shouldn't be taken any more seriously than the physics of a girl pulling an oversized hammer out of a backpack that obviously doesn't fit. But it's still not going to be fantastic alternate history.

>>156229328
Nobody here is the target audience of anything, so I guess we should all stop having opinions.

Depends on what you mean. The author has the right to write however he wants, just like you and I have the right to critique it.

I said it was lazy and bad writing. If you want to disagree and aren't interested in talking about why you would think it good or interesting writing, then we're basically done talking.

For what it's worth, virtually no one here is the target audience of any manga, so if that's how you judge who has the right to discuss and criticize manga then we should just delete the board.

>it's just obviously some random bullshit that's part of the setting and shouldn't be taken any more seriously than the physics of a girl pulling an oversized hammer out of a backpack that obviously doesn't fit.
That's my entire point. You fags don't sperg about that, so don't sperg about this. It's just as ridiculous.
>>156229377
I also said it was lazy writing earlier in the thread, I also said that nobody would get this offended about a generic harem comedy. You're just a huge bitch and you can't deal with it.

>>156229412
>generic harem comedy
Rakudai isn't a harem tho

>>156229059

SJW would complain if there is crossdressing joke or (insert gender) issue

But people who complain about SJWs are the same ones that make youtube rants about how JRPG characters are too effeminate or how a Japanese game is somehow too "weaboo"

>>156229436
I'm using that as an example of other lazy writing. I'm not saying Rakudai is a harem.

>>156229412
>You fags don't sperg about that, so don't sperg about this. It's just as ridiculous.
Hammerspace is a big joke and everyone treats it accordingly. If your history, like your physics, is a big running joke and you don't expect anyone to take it seriously, sure. But that's often not the case.

World would be a better place if Japan and Germany won WW2 to be honest. Prove me wrong.

>>156229412
You're the one inferring I'm offended.

Also, believe it or not, generic harem comedies get criticized all the time.

I'd say that you are just a weeb who likes the idea of JAPAN STRONK, but since you haven't made any comment indicating such I won't make asinine assumptions.

Don't fall for OP's bait. this can actually be discussed on a more nuanced level.

>I'd say that you are just a weeb who likes the idea of JAPAN STRONK
This is my issue. You act as if someone must feel strongly about this in some particular direction. I don't care either way and I don't see why I should. This is a literal non-issue. This is only a problem if you think someone should be beholden to your standard of respect for history over their own creative freedom.

>>156229368
In a better written series said Undefined Euro nation could be Stella's when it was first setting.
And we could visit the damn place for an arc and we get some world building on it.
The timeline matches up too since Stella is called the Second Princess.
You could argue her grandparents were the first King and Queen, her Mother the First Princess and she the second.
But hey that's if we wanted the story to be more than 'Ikki's parents are Persona 5 villains who apparently have zero morals'

>>156229685
If you serve corn syrup on white bread and people eat it up, saying that it's a pretty shit food does not mean I think that someone should be "beholden to my standard of respect for the culinary arts over their own creative freedom." It means I think you serve crap food and that the people who eat it have shit taste.

There are three parties here, and we all have the freedom to make what we want, eat what we want, and say what we want. Nobody's "freedom" is being impinged here. We are all enjoying our freedom. Painting the debate like one of us is trying to oppress the other is stupid.

>>156229685
I'm not saying the guy shouldn't be allowed to write it, which would actually be restriction of creative freedom, and if it were about "respect for history" then I wouldn't like anything with alternate history, which I've already posted to the contrary.

But I have the freedom to call it bad writing. I can also criticize a piece of media while respecting it isn't for me and that it has the right to exist.


If me posting my opinion bothers you then you're the one that needs to leave.

>>156229368

so they allied with Hydra?

>>156229764
>>156229763
The issue is also because you two deviated from the thread's topic away from what OP was saying. I'm not arguing that you can't call it bad I was just saying that it's stupid to get worked up over bad writing and it being related to something one cares about like history doesn't change this.

So USA is a third world country according to this logic?

There are no illegal opinions in the US, so no. Maybe opinions that the culture frowns upon but nothing illegal so the government isn't involved.

Try reading pretty much any Japanese memoir of the period and get back to us, why don't you?

>>156217687
How is it possible to have won the war against Japan and still be triggered by fiction about alternate possibilites.

If anyone should be triggered by anything it should be the Russians by how Burgers sold that their intervention won WWII on europe when the Soviet Union decimated 80% of the Wehrmacht. Just take a look at documentaries from both fronts, the Burgers were all traumatized saying how their front was horrible, but then you take a look at those who experienced both fronts and they tell you that the Burger front was like a walk in the park compared to the sheer brutality on the russian front.

>>156229110
youre actually wrong. Go read Hebert.P.Bix's Hirohito and the making of modern Japan to understand more about the emperor.
He literally could do whatever he wanted

I also don't like it when they do shit like this.

But then again Rambo is not American history either, you'd have to be really petty to get upset at this.

Neat, that looks like a good read. Thanks for the suggestion.

I only found it just now, but the section titled "Reexamining Emperor Hirohito's Role and Power" in "The End of the Pacific War: Reappraisals" seems like it might be a useful survey of how different historical assessments have developed over the years before getting ass-deep into a book about the issue.

One of the things about history is that different historians have different interpretations and that these interpretations develop over time and I personally don't think that Bix has the right of it. He's obviously done more research than me and I might be biased in recommending this overview, but there's historians on all sides of the issue.

That particular section (pages 39-54) is publicly available here:

You can't mix human welfare and economics, just like you can't mix science and religion.

Either, your country makes the welfare of its citizens a priority, over "making money", or it puts "making money" as a priority over the welfare of its citizens.

Clearly, USA has chosen the latter. That's why it makes 13 trillion dollars a year in GDP, yet the average american dual income family makes less than 50 thousands dollars, has no savings, poor health, chronic illnesses, malnourished, poorly educated, and will die in debt, its savings wiped out by some crooked unregulated insurance company.

America is basically a third world country in terms of quality of life but you'd never tell, because all its misery is carefully hidden behind a wall of consumption and fancy consumer goods, all bought on borrowed money.

But the Super Liberty mech that Washington piloted to defeat the British Empire was destroyed in his final duel with Supreme British Overlord George and his personal Buckingham Buster, which ended with their shirtless fistfight to the death on top of their destroyed mecha. Everybody knows that.
Objectively speaking, the technology we're using today is far more advanced to combat more advanced threats. That means our President must be equipped for space battles and the like.

Suck my dick, america is a decent meritocracy. Only people who complain about america, are rich suburban fags who got everything handed to them. Deapite this you ended up doing jack shit in life.

Rambo is part of the american history at least 1 and 2, many people think that is just like "murica fuck yeah" movie, the message of First Blood is how America treated like shit the veterans of Vietnam, in FB how Rambo gets treated like shit by the police that bring his PTSD up and makes go Guerrilla Warfrare on the police.
Part two was about how america shat on the veterans that were left in vietnam in concentration camps.

After that 3 is anti-communism propaganda (although its partialy true due to how murica supplied the mujadinn (sp?) with stingers to bring down the Hinds)

America is doing terrible. It is 21 trillion in debt, lower work force, more people on welfare(People shouldn't be on welfare at all, but you baby boomers fucked over future generations), people making the same wages they were making 30 years ago, businesses that would rather hire illegals over actual citizens, you've got an over abundance of oldfags that won't die out and are draining the resources of the government and the young to subside their oldfags ways thanks to Social Security, and morality is at an all time low.

>nobody would get this offended about a generic harem comedy.
You must be new here. Because bitching about harem anime/manga happens all the time. People were complaining when UQ Holder stopped having a plot and went right back to Negima! tier harem bullshit. People complain whenever the MC has more than one female love interest introduced because they all know whatever momentum the author had is going to die thanks to pandering.

Harem is almost guaranteed to result in lazy writing and padded out, pandering series.

>>156217687

You know, the disquieting thing about this is, what happened to the rest of the world?

Did Hitler wipe out all the Jews? Is the Third Reich ruling every part of the world except Japan? In fact, is the redheaded heroine's family a group of Nazi sympathizers?

Did the Japanese still butcher and rape the Chinese, Asian and Korean populations? I mean, WWII still went down, right? Japan was renowed for being murderous shitbags. I can't imagine it going well for anyone else.

Anime and manga need more Hiroshima girls.

It has nothing to do with nip butthurtery and more with the fact that, once again as anon pointed a long time ago, the MC of rakudai was carefully written to be a gary stu so making him descendant of a pretend hero raises his gary stuness. Writing for useless teenagers was a mistake.
