80s Animu with impulsive protags Anonymous 01/19/18 (Fri) 20:28:48 No. 783254
WHY IS EVERY 80s PROTAGONIST SO IMPULSIVE
First time watching Gunbuster, episode 2 stresses me out so fucking much. How the hell is someone like Noriko chosen as a pilot for an elite unit when she can even follow simple orders, acts on emotional impulse and cries every single god damned time. You have a fucking mission, if you fuck up and ABANDON the mission you are jeopardizing your team's well-being. They have fucking lives too that you don't have to fucking ruin just because of your emotional breakdown.
Even Kamille from Gundam and Hikaru from Macross acts so impulsive and brash as if they have blood gushing out of their privates. FUCK.
Also, 80s era anime thread.

Usually so they can have a simple, but noticeable arc. If you notice by the end of the series they've usually grown as characters. Noriko is the same and by the end of the series is a much different character than the start.

Its easy to grow a character how is more expressive. Also, the writers that time were not total weboos, anime was a new thing.

Kamille especially same happens with Amuro too when it gets to Zeta Gundam where he knows about the responsibility he has for piloting the gundam.

Zeta fuckign baited me so hard with that. Kamille acted like a complete fucking badass in the first two episode, and then the show became a boring slog because that was supposed to be a bad thing, despite that being the reason I was interested. It took me around a full year to finish that show because I refused to drop it.

They had balls back then and a need to titillate nowadays it's more likely that protags will be dragged through the story and acted upon instead of acting.

Simple because it's from an era when dudes like this could easily be players and get a lot of pussy. And well there was probably way less soy in the diet of Japanese males in the 80's. Unlike the aughts where in earth and moon land everybody has a panic attack regarding the cold approaches to women.

You do realize Japanese have always eaten soy shit, right? The whole soy thing is a myth anyway. If you want to make it to the end of many future anime seasons, stop eating like shit. That does more to lower your T than anything. Plus, your waifu wouldn't like you to look like a lardass, unless she's Louise from ZnT in that one series of doujinshi.

I wonder if Westerners are just soy intolerant? As in, they can't digest soy properly and end up becoming numales if they eat too much of it.

No, asians mainly eat fermented soy products while a lot of western food products use raw soy or soy based protein to substitute for filler in their food. Learn the difference. Also there's the issue of tofu being a fad in the west where idiotic vegans treat it like a staple food while it's a side dish at best in Asia.

Asians eat mainly starch rice and fermented vegetables. Soy shows up more often in sauces and pastes used to flavor, but not as a primary source of protein like western vegans treat it.

Isn't tofu not bad though because its fermented? I avoid soy but had fried tofu earlier. Soy is also hard to avoid unless you give up everything processed. Even my fucking bread had soy. Why? Who puts soy in bread?

Tofu isn't fermented unless it's specifically the fermented version (you'll know from its pungent smell and heavily spiced taste, chinks use it for flavouring or a condiment with rice). Tofu is basically a solid custard formed from coagulating soy milk to extract the proteins. Like if you watched some of the vegan tutorials before, you'll realize you can even make tofu out of fresh soy milk and lemon juice.

It's soy-cheese is what it is. The same as indian Paneer, except made with soy milk instead of cow milk.

Hilariously according to chink legend, the original creator/discoverer of tofu was some mad msytic-scientist mixing up random shit to find the pill of immortality (even more hilariously the end result of their research was mercury)

Kamille wasn't really a badass at all during the first two episodes. He was impulsive and acts on his emotions.

Nah, it was some guy who forgot about his food, found it later and ate it anyway. Like century eggs.
I can't complain because Lee and Perins was discovered the same way, and unlike those two, it's delicious.
I thought they drank mercury as a contraceptive?
I think Asians have a higher IQ because of that natural selection. At one point surely someone noticed the results.

Tofu isn't fermented. You need to insert enzymes akin to rennin to get the process going. Unless the guy left soy milk in a calf stomach pouch (the water storage container prevalent at the time), this will not happen. You're thinking about the story of how the steppe nomads discovered cottage cheese.
>Asians have IQ due to natural selection
Getting your populations massively culled every few generation does that to you. Just like how Hellenistic/Roman era Europe was no cakewalk to live in. Just like how the American frontier pioneers were regarded as smart innovative people. Because the dumb ones all died out without society at large to keep supporting their dumb asses.

Why do you MUH OLD ANIME faggots always get basic shit like release years wrong?

Because when you get old the years of abuse start to show and your memory gets fuzzy as shit. You remember shit was some time around back then. Every year stretches farther and father into the mist. You drink to forget and when you have forgotten you drink to remember. I'm not that dude but if you asked me to explain the plot of either movie I eould jumble the two together. So people come to these threads to collectively remember generalized notions. Hot blooded protagonists with burning hearts of justice. Dark brooding nihilists living in dirty brutal worlds. Futures filled with excitement, danger, and great reward. Pasts steeped in mystery and mysticism. Pure hearted girls willing to challenge themselves and gradually grow into splendid women.
It's every god damned thing in the world you love about your childhood anime, only our brains are shit and we keep doing shit like check our scans every day because we can't remember when shit comes out.
Sage for retarded I don't know what the fuck I wrote there.

I find the fact that Kamille has enough tard rage to fuck up military ranked officers with his bare hands stupidly hilarious. Also he calms down by the first half, and then you get two shittier impulsive characters in Fa and FUCKING KATZ. HOLY SHIT IS HE BAD.

Not to mention doing it because you want to get back at the officer that said your name sounded like a girl's. And then kills your mother. And then his partner kills himself by being retarded, and you kills some of his love interests. Fuck, Zeta's great until Katz shows up.
