no,I mean,I REALLY hate this shitty setting.
WoW and final fantasy RUINED JRPGs and isekai,now every fucking single RPG esque scenario looks like this medieval/fantasy world,and I absolutely hate it.
I love modern and interesting scenarios,HxH,the Shin megami tensei games,Tanya the evil and dragon ball are all really fucking interesting, because they look familiar yet extremely different for us.
hygiene,religion,public morals,the political and military system,the way people were seen and treated in the medieval ages was fucking shitty and made in a way that you would work your ass off your entire life and MAYBE,just MAYBE,get a little bit of happiness,that is,if you didn't die of some unknown disease because medical care was absolute garbage(good luck with those fucking herbs there my friend).
the worst part of all of it is that most of those shows and games have rarely no difference in one another,there's a "central kingdom",everyone excepts the adventurers uses peasentry clothing(which begs the question,why doesn't EVERYBODY simply become a hunter/adventurer/whatever the fuck you want to call it,since it's so fucking easy to get your food and stuff related to other jobs?),there's a "higher council",there are dragons(why is this always a fucking thing) and animals become unsensical biologically UNACURRATE beings(some of them being able to fly for no fucking reason at all),women are allowed to wear slutty and revealing clothing(no really what in the fuck,I know this is literally just weeb fapbait but if you can actually make a cool looking woman in a less revealing clothes,it sounds way more professional for me than just strapping on a random collegial uniform on your girls),literally almost everyone uses archaic weapons(swords and bows would actually be really fucking useless against the "magical creatures" shown) and WHY IN THE FUCK WOULD YOU WAIFUFAG SOMEONE IN THOSE SHOWS?THEY ALL LITERALLY SMELL LIKE SHIT AND SWEAT FROM ALL THAT HAPPENS TO THEM.
STOP THIS.

Anime bars itself from medieval setting. We have MMO and Pokemon with retexture. It's not going to change any time soon.

Berserk is as close as we get to a medieval setting, or Spice and Wolf.

Midevil jrpgish setting hasn't been fucking cool outside of lord of the rings ever.

There's been less then a fucking handful of decent sword and sorcery based media on the planet. But it's always the fucking go to of people.
It's just degenerate navel gazers crapping out fanfiction based around the stuff they've read before over and over again with no real thought behind it. Why?
Because the other people who like the setting like the alread built up world and don't have to think too hard.
It's like how all space based stuff is practically the same shit.

I loathe generic sci-fi space shit and generic midevil land based shit. But I can ignore those trite overdone settings if the story is good.

Here's a hint. That's rarely the case.

OP's problem is that he doesn't realize that it's not the setting or even the isekai genre that's the problem. It's the poor way in which it's constantly executed and regurgitated. A medieval fantasy isekai could be made really damn interest with genuine care. It's just that the kinds of people who make this crap are the kind that don't care. Their motivations are shallow as are their target demographics's.

I almost agree with you. There is a standard fantasy world with elfs, orcs, dwarfs and humans. And It is always medieval themed. This fucking shit is stupid and boring, and it just wants to copy the Lord of the Rings. But I can see that you can notice other fantasy shows than these. So, you really should just avoid that shit. Only really trash people enjoy the Lotr copy, and you can't genocide them.

Well yes, anime usually disregards the source material, uses cheap labor to produce it and is constrained with tigh schedules. Thats not even including the conditions which animators face and the predatory business practise/pricing

I wouldnt even call anime a art. Its a way to milk money from people who suffer from obsession

You people have such limited and pessimistic vision that I have to wonder how you guys even enjoy this shit anymore. Angel's Egg doesn't cease to have artistic merit just because Berserk 2017 was made like shit. You don't understand the meaning of the word art well enough to even be using it.

>all anime is made with the same purpose and effort as season shit

I didnt exactly claim all but the majority is like that, yes.

Most anime shows are made by exploitation of people. That is a widely accepted fact. Hell, even the good anime shows are made like that which is a huge minus. How can you call something an art when the corporation is in it for the dosh, at all cost. I know money is the main point in the movies as well but they actually offer human wages and work environments. There is a huge difference between making money and making it with zero regard for human life.

Secondly, most of the anime is season shit like you said. At least Warner Bros would have had made Haruhi S3 but we cant have that in anime. You gotta get another IP for more merc after first one is eaten to the bone. Also, Yes there are exceptions but those are rather rare given the volume churned out.

>How do you enjoy this shit anymore

>>158826449
You don't get it. The majority of anime is shit and made cheaply, but that has no bearing on whether the whole thing itself can or can't be considered art conceptually. Terrible wages and tight scheduling are not an integral part of the anime creating process. It's how it most often is in practice, but it can and is done in other ways. Something that is inherently artistic can be used to produce commercialized garbage, but it doesn't work the other way around. It only takes one entry in a medium to prove that it is art. If it can be accomplished in one way, then it can be accomplished in others, meaning that the factors that make up the medium has what it takes to produce art. How often that actually happens varies, but none of that effects the integral parts of the artform.

>I dont but this is a manga board too
There's literally no difference between the artistic value of manga and anime on a conceptual level. All that varies is the average quality of the resultant works.
>>
>>158826575
It's pessimistic because you're acting like that's all it is, even if that's how 90% of it is. You people can't separate an artform's qualities from the statistics of how those qualities get used.
>>
>>158826893

He's right about the hygiene though. Medieval Europe's hygiene was legitimately bad, even for its time. The Aztecs had better kept public walkways than the Spanish.
>>
>>158830875
Public bath houses were a thing throughout medieval Europe.
>>
>>158830921
But what proportion of the population were regularly using them? Sewer systems and not having feces everywhere is actually a big deal, since India's major problem with its malnourished kids is not a lack of nutritious food, but weakened immune systems due to being exposed to poo everywhere they turn.
>>
>>158822848
OP has shit taste and is a fag. Nothing new here, move along.
>Dragon ball and the things in it are ok but dragons are not.
>>
>>158830921
Who said they weren't? Ask yourself this though. How many times did the average peasant actually go to the bathing house? I can guarantee you it wasn't everyday or even every other day. On top of this, bathing is just one component of public hygiene. Keeping your streets clean is really fucking important too. Something Europeans weren't too good at at the time. You're fighting a losing battle here anon. The Spanish literally admitted themselves that their hygiene was inferior to that of Meso-Americans.

Pic related. Still, why do you feel the need to even bring up that topic at all? All I gave was facts and nothing more. I didn't go off on some tirade about which culture was superior. All I said was the Europeans had bad hygiene relative to the other people alive at the time. This is an objective fact like Amerindians never inventing metal working, Africans never domesticating animals, and the Chinese never creating a free market economy. That your first reaction was to turn this into a dick measuring contest is pretty sad.
>Why do the Spanish represent all of Europe?
They don't. At least not completely. Like anything, hygiene culture varies. However, the Spanish were a lot culturally closer to all the other Europeans than they were anyone else, and this includes hygiene culture.
