I need a quick guide to Japanese culture. So I'm watching Flip Flappers and having a good time when I start to get this feeling mid episode three. Sure enough, I look it up this anime has Yuri. That's disappointing, but it got me wondering, why do I see this so much in anime? As I understand it, Japanese culture is far more conservative than most western cultures on same sex relationships. So why is this a thing that has been showing up in anime for so long? And if anyone has any recommendations for magical girl anime without Yuri I'm all ears.

Pretty female character = good
Two pretty female characters = 2x good
It's that simple. It's not about identity politics or whatever crap, it's just admiring a garden of pretty lilies (百合).

Basically, women in lesbian relationship are seen as "pure" because they aren't "violated" by a dude's dick. Both right and left degenerates think that way, and you can see it in western media as well, usually with a lesbian daughter/daughter surrogate. For those people having the heroine have a boyfriend is akin to NTR.

Reminds me I started playing Little Goody Two Shoes and I was immediately put off by how fast the game pushes lesbian shit.
 
I don't remember Flip Flappers being GL, but then again, I don't remember what happened in the anime anymore. Was the flavor-of-the-month then fucked off.

Wouldn't having nothing sexual or romantic be even more pure? Nevermind, it doesn't really make sense, I should stop trying to disect it.

To be fair, I have a sneaking suspicion that some series never go beyond a good friendship but get labeled as GL by degenerates.

Anime stuff is also a subculture within Japan itself.

Its true that nearly everybody watches anime in Japan, but not all anime is watched equally.

Once again, I am thankful everybody in Madoka Magica hates each other too much for anyone to make any claims of romance.

I haven't watched Madoka since its release during my boot days, don't remember it. 1. Does it hold up? And 2; if it does hold up, has the series continued and had more good content?

Dimitri Monroe is a culture war faggot (and also small time cow with his own thread). Despite this video saying it's "more than about JelloApocalypse", the whole video is about the way that Discotek handled the Jello situation as well as their shitty stance on dubs coming from the Jello situation.

In some situations all parties involved are messed up in their own way. Dimitri Monroe talking about Jellopocalypse and localizer issues is one of those times. It's a "broken clock is right two times a day" deal I suppose.

I think that's being a bit hard.
Welcome to the NHK isn't "supposed" to appeal to everyone. It's kind of like a hidden treasure that will just resonate with people depending on how their lives have gone.
I think it ages better than most pretty much most anime that's tackled it's themes, specifically because there isn't some magical "out" that Sato gets. There isn't some isekai element or wish fulfillment. It's just a really bleak, honest look at life that isn't really done in anime anymore. I go back to it every couple of years and it resonates with me a little more each time. I think it's honestly the type of show more people SHOULD watch right now, especially considering the rise of the NEET, consumer culture and internet escapism it tackled almost two decades ago are way more prevalent now.
I don't think the animation has aged that bad. Yeah, it's nothing crazy but I kind of miss the simplicity of mid2000s anime style. I feel like everything is a little too polished anymore.
Agree with the others, the music is some of my favorite out there.
I don't know, it just hits me when I think about it because I've seen any other shows that are that brutally real.

Maybe, NHK is the type of anime I would only recommend to someone after they've watched a decent amount and not to someone who's maybe only seen a few episodes of pokemon or what ever was on toonami looking for something to watch. Cause the sad thing is, the more anime you've watched, the more likely you'll find something that you can directly relate to in the show.
 
Watched angel cop, very good show. I really like the Jewish conspiracy. Great effects animation as well, all the tech and guns were very authentic. It's a bit slow till the introduction of Lucifer after which it gets pretty insane.

I wanted to know where I can get couple manga online. The full translated hetappi manga lab by toriyama, full translated hetappi manga lab by yusuke murata, sneeze the short story collection by naoki urasawa and the complete translated golgo 13 which is currently only sold by viz not available on any site (technically available on zlibrary but each volume is 300 mb).

Also I'm up for any recommendations if there are any. I want to understand how ecchi and shojo works and what the tropes are. I keep hearing about harems and tsundere and girl infighting. I don't read romance cause I'm a dumb action monkey but I am curious.

Take with a grain of salt coming from me, as it is still one of my favorite works of fiction, but I would say that it absolutely does.

It’s extremely tightly written, deep without being pretentious, and the cast, while perhaps not the most complex, is still compelling enough it get invested in. Sayaka and Homura’s arcs especially I found to be very interesting. And the third film, Rebellion, is also of a very high standard, despite how divisive its ending is for some.

That said, the Magia Record anime spin-offs have been rather mediocre, or so I’ve heard. Best to wait until the next film, Walpurgisnacht Rising, comes out.

yuri doesn't count as that, that's why it's ok.
it's just a phase mom till they get dicked straight and become a tradwife.

however another aspect that often gets misconstrued/blown out of proportion is animu girls adoring each other doesn't mean they want to shlick it.
so it's not so much romantic or even sexual, more platonic/paternal/siblings etc.
puritan burger stupidity/western degeneracy does the rest.
