Hello it’s me the 23-year-old jaded formerly famous detective
Then again, in this world you have 12-year-olds serving in the military so I guess it makes sense

Fuckin’ Valkyria Chronicles
I like the gameplay, but geez, everything else is like
For all the amusement you can get from the setting, at its core it’s very “generic late 2000s/2010s anime.” Every game has a literal beach episode as an excuse to put the (often underage) female characters in swimsuits and to animate them jiggling
Which is a big shame because the setting is a great opportunity to explore and criticize some great issues like independence, racism, historical materialism, class, penal labor, and whether or not the concept of Europe should have ever been allowed to exist.
You know, deep philosophy.
It tries to do some of those things sometimes. How the series handles racism feels weird. Most people are horrifically racist against the Darcsen (the broad analogue for the Jews/Roma), even on the Gallian side, but the protagonists seem weirdly passive about the issue even when its their friends or adopted family members being racially abused by randos in front of them.
Isnt’ great that anime stuff has actually gotten worse instead of better? /s
Why is Japan like this
I blame, in this exact order, the Portuguese, the Catholic Church, Commodore Perry, the Daimyōs of Chōshū, Satsuma, and Tosa, Emperors Meiji, Taishō, and Shōwa, The Japanese Communist Party, General McArthur, Syngman Rhee, Harry Truman, and Hayato Ikeda for setting the groundwork for Japan’s pedophilia problems.
We didn’t start the fire…
Oh, I am familiar
I was like 18 when the first one came out
Doesn’t it also have someone boning their sister or something
There are some secondary characters with some weird brother sister shit going on
just accurate depictions of nobility
