About High Guardian Spice
So, I have some thoughts after seeing a whole bunch of opinions of people who have seen the show. A lot good, a lot bad. And I figured I'd write down how I feel about it. I haven't watched it though, nor am I planning on watching it. As I refuse giving crunchyroll any money whatsoever.
I've seen a whole bunch of videos on the topic, and I have to say, a lot of them are repeating each other. "It's trash" "It's pandering" blah blah. Yes, I too am not too fond of the whole man hating down with cis mentality. I however have never been trans, so I can't put myself into that headshpace (even though the whole hating thing goes too far for me and I feel like these people need therapy) but with every critisism video of the show the whole arguement gets older and older. They're just repeating each other. The only ones that were honest and had a good well informed opinion were the clownfish people and the Vtuber Natalie with this video right here
I haven't seen the show, but from what I can tell it's a steven universe type show, that uses PNG assets from pexels.com. Though, it's not as terrible as some people make it out to be. It's I guess just a show that's not for me, and thats alright. I wasn't going to watch it anyway.
I'm not saying that people who complain about the show aren't valid. There are a lot of valid reasons to hate the show. Like I mentioned before, a show looking more like a Cartoon Network show shouldn't be on crunchyroll funded by money that people assumed wouldve gone to Japan. That's about my only gripe.
People are allowed to like High Guardian Spice too though. And I see a bunch of people on here who do. Which to that I say, more power to you. And if you havent seen it yet and do have a crunchyroll account, I guess give it a watch at least. It might be for you, it might not be.
I don't think HGS is an anime per sé. HGS fits more in the steven universe, adventure time, She-Ra corner. I do think anime can be defined as animation which it liturally is an abbreviation of, but when we're just going off of feel, its just not an anime at all. Anime is Japanese animation. if we're going by that definition it should either be derived from a japanese work, be animated and produced by a japanese studio, or be heavily inspired by anime to the point people are still debating wether it's anime or not (im looking at you, Avatar)
Crunchyroll shouldve invested in animation studios in Japan, who are already struggling to pay their workers properly. We all know that that industry is fucked. If only Crunchyroll did something about that, even a little bit.. but I digress
People always like to claim that Japanese media isn't queer enough. Even though we're living in a world with shows like Revolutionary Girl Utena for example. So it's kind of pretentious to claim that HGS is the first anime ever to welcome LGBT characters. Especially since there is no subtlety in it at all. It's shoved in your face as far as I can tell. I'd hate to use that sentence but I have to, tbh. I would love to see more representation. I'm queer myself. I'd love to see more demi or fully ace characters out there. There is a way to bring it, though. And HGS is too obnoxious about it as far as i can tell from the scenes that ive watched on youtube.
Okay that's it. I didnt expect it to become a full ass book size rant. I just have thoughts.
TLDR people gotta stop whining.
