Kind of related, chapter 7 of "The Asterisks Wars Sucks" touches on delinquent characters (https://youtu.be/7NGHyQWbK5k?si=E2RFBml-0V8jq08E&t=5811). To summarize, it compared the protagonist of Asterisks Wars with the protagonists of HunterxHunter and Yu Yu Hakusho. Essentially, the Asterisks Wars protag is written as a cool and aloof badass... and it comes off as if the author himself is in a similar adolescent mindset, so it falls flat. Compare with Togashi's aloof characters: they're cool and aloof, but they're written by an adult who can see through their bullshit and knows what they need to do to grow and mature
This sounds fascinating, gonna have to check it out. Thanks for sharing! I'd be curious to do a similar voice comparison between Tokyo Revengers and Wind Breaker, just because the casts are so similar.
As a fellow delinquent who's easily swayed by cool character designs, I vibe with this post 💯
"World Saves the Hero" is an interesting way to explain what Wind Breaker is doing. I wonder what other works would fall under that category (this essay may have deciphered a new way to classify narrative/characterization)
Hey, the voice over was great!!
The whole thing was great! I love the action sequences. I think they get even better in season 2. But the manga... oh the manga... just beautiful.
