Goncharov is a beautifully-written 1973 crime drama directed by Martin Scorsese following a mob boss in Naples during the winter as his empire slowly falls. There is one problem with the film, and it’s that it doesn’t actually exist, and is a Tumblr meme coming from a bootleg shoe of the real movie Gomorrah (2008).
I had never in my life heard of GATE until a recent Mother’s Basement (anime YouTuber) Best Of review where he said it was good, and now here I am halfway through the series 10 years after it ended and it’s mentioned on Lemmy. Small world, huh?
I’ve really enjoyed it, even if it is partially a nationalistic power fantasy. They get so many little details right (like checking the backblast area before firing a shoulder-fired rocket launcher) that it’s easy to overlook the weird cultural obsession with sexualizing 1000-year-old “children.”
Gate is an anime about a portal to a fantasy world opening up in the middle of a city in japan.
Its an enjoyable anime, but IIRC it was made for the sake of japanese military propaganda.
And what does it have to do with Oblomov?
Why have you added a new word to the list of words
Yeah, I feel like that explanation only explained a tiny part of the OP.

How did they even work the old “1000 yr old jailbait” trope into military proponganda?
Also there’s a joke about libertarians in there but I don’t have the energy for it
