as we say, they're never giving up every weekend on d w the to blow bills work. we tell the story of who me off at the end showed the most common mid to misunderstanding, surrounding the well known alternative healing method. and we on cover manga and anime a series from japan that glorify the military and the weapons of the 2nd world war . how wide spread is militarism and japanese manga do such a mango pose a danger? the . this is wanting to come up. a world of manga usually looks like populated by cute

so, so i turn those in funny questions. the illustrated stories followed adventure, fantasy and friendship. a weapons factors and not see worship. they don't exist here. the put simply will, glorifying manga our emotional infringe phenomenon. jim and publishers scrutinize critically and do not to introduce any examples of it on to the european market. the form of the heart and then some bizarre productions never last makes a leap from the japanese market into the wide world. that's also the case with a successful production goes and print. so it's been a long running hit on streaming services in europe. the intimate and manga series has been around since 2012 goes at a boarding school compete against each i've been trying to really think it's been

a major success in japan for years with a mixture that fits into the current japanese social discourse and is easily marketed and that's difficult with an emission, samantha, but they've tried to create what i would describe as a mixture of 3 things that i think sell well in japan i, this one is the military aspect i. e plane war. let me say this in general terms out for them also against the background of the fact that the military in general is currently being promoted by the state and japan decide to get filled with without japan is a pest of this country, according to its constitution. it also invests billions in weapon systems for defense re i'm a month that has been the content. so it's a political issue for years since i don't work as good for call. what so? well, what is successful is then okay in japan, so to speak. and that is of course, a very big problem. this is not to lose and guns, guns cause to claim. but what does this uncritical affinity for the ministry in

japan come from the japan reading manga is parts of everyday life. 9 gives the medium with equal states us along side books and film, manga read by people or ages, the mind games, it goes, boys, adults, and seniors. but was this the infatuation, even of the things with nazi colt, nice manga come from. to understand it, you have to dig deep into the collective memory. and she looked at history. the japanese fascination with germany and everything german goes back a long way more than 150 years. in 1968, the mind, the restoration named for then and provide g begun to fall reaching a peebles scholars was sent abroad in west and teachers were brought in, especially from prussia, is i'm, i'm what's it following through on this and job hard to remember that when japan

was modernized during the menu restoration, it was looking for the best of everything worldwide. so who are the best and the medicine and see who are the best in law, breaking down for the best in the military? would that's the best and the best. a military at that time was the prussian military and enough job hunter who was old prussian experts were brought to japan to advise on modernizing the military details. author, and by way of the military was organized out a solution of all sorts of things. it's very german oriented, honest new, even the military music is very german oriented. and will you take me to cameras because of the i'm the hutch spent in pen orient. you pressure became a role model in terms of wolf. the idea of the perfect ministry was shaped by germany from the very beginning. the japan wage numerous was on the impression of what he told. the 2nd sino japanese will weeks pro carry on

july 7th. 1937 is considered at the beginning of the pacific war japan and germany became allies, the german dictator, hitler, japanese emperor, a hero, he 2 and the italian ruler, most of the joined forces onto the tripartite pact, the unannounced tank for the japanese empire on the us naval base at po hava on december 7th, 1941 marked the beginning of world war 2 in the pacific. the us responded by declaring war on japan. this will came to an end when the us designated to atomic bombs above the japanese cities of he worked him up and did not cosette key in old coast 1945 or you're gonna be more than 200000 people are estimated to have died on september the 2nd 1945 japan declared its unconditional surrender.

japan has today surrendered. the last of our enemies is laid low to fate. to japan was forced to adopt a peace constitution prohibiting the country from waging war and maintaining all forces for self defense was insane to say, i feel it. you may have to realize that there were a lot of young people who played with more toys the time during the war. and i took me to talk with you and who were simply militarized and systematically because it was in the interests of state to that on cops. it's something you missed. so it doesn't work like a light switch off, but you just like press it and you'll switch from a militaristic society instead to a pass that this one keeps cuz that's after the 90 feet is because the post war and the 1950s. japan, like germany, experienced an economic food in just a few decades. japan became a high tech nation,

although it was constitutionally past the 1st weapons and weapons technology was still very popular in society, including german weapons technology, the most popular children's toy of the time. what model kits of german tanks and weapons also appeared in manga kind of defects. and that's one of the slides. like you see the fascination on 2 sides of the reader side, on the one hand or 2, and the authors side on the other. my god, good size. and there are people who have written manga who were themselves talking about. and i think 6 soldiers and the 2nd world war kind of put the ottoman from one of the best known is, needs okey. she get to live. it kind of thing is who also drew and produced, a manga called hitler law among a good sized that's put it, see if i make the autism. it suki should go through emerald hitler's biography in the 19 seventy's as a manga for adults he had experienced the horrors of war. cuss tend as a soldier, and throughout his career the mind, the authors, to post all those who glorified rule. one of the full fathers of bank the officers

to zuka. oh samo also sharply criticized. not see audiology. he drew the manga crime series out of a good test. the saturated fictional fella, based on the premise, the titles hitler had secret to jewish ancestry. how can young japanese people do this? openly flaunting, the nazi ascetic, big lumens of the unimaginable atrocities committed. but those who wore these uniforms, what is the least wireless thing? these uniforms are kind of sexy. and i'm not really interested in the, in human ideology behind them am detroit and it's been around for a long time as little as an ongoing discussion in japan. would this fascination with militarism. that's what it's and you have to say of course that the japanese have a completely different relationship to the history of the holocaust and the germans

do appreciate the total cost i see as was get. yeah, there are no concentration camps on japan that you can visit us month is when you come. in other words, unlike us, there is no obligation to see it with your own eyes. this mix i can open, honest with you. apparently the nazi ascetic is more fascinating in countries that did not suffer under the nazis. according to research. as another aspect is that japan was a dresser in world war 2, but likes to point to the even was bad guys to nazis, possibly to divert attention from its own, killed the way in which understandings of history in japan and germany defy and does not critically scrutinize can be seen beyond nice products a night approach to the difficult historical facts even appears in a successful world wide series of mine. and then a best seller, a tech on site, and has been going strong for over 10 years for seasons and 99 episodes is

a fictional post apocalyptic kara story. humanity is written by doug can take many things humanoids, quote, titans. this series also draws inspiration from german typhon songs, huff, german huff, japanese. the protagonist is named aaron giga, jacob, being the general word for a hunter. and the template for the medieval town is the bavarian town of nursing. and, and what is explosive is that the story is also being criticized. is the way the critics in particular accusing the end of may of providing space for next and isn't and, and to submit it. conspiracy theories just like scroll through the end as an adult, i spelled b as in a group that is imprisoned in this village. when these are, they used to be the rulers of this world. and faith and my uncle give us later in the manga. it's revealed that this ethnic group was originally the rulers funded the house up. and then they were oppressed, marginalized and exploited as the water for these type us. what's up with you?

the 2 tom and the old 2 boys, they're depicted with a bracelet with a star on it did with i'm but i understand. oh so it's not too far fetched to argue that this ethnic group is a reference to the jews. and the 3rd rushman t on the left, cooper. i know i've been and if you consider that this ethnic group was originally the ruler of the world, 50 to flexible pools, but then it's not a far leap to say that it's okay. that reminds me of anti semitic conspiracy theories according to which the jews would rule us all the house and brutal. the marketing for the show showed little sensitivity for the controversial aspects on bands was set to be launched as much noise in 2021. after and that was quite including from the fan base, the items were quickly withdrawn, but finds, defend the series. they say the allegation that it has nationalistic, under tons, misses the complexity all keeping the attack on titan,

criticizes fast to structures, racism and propaganda. they say the series opposes historical revisionism and violence that different positions are expressed. and that's, it is a repeat to the emphasized the monstrous, inherent in every human being. not just certain ethnic groups just by the control of us. the other a series has broken, streaming records, influence, pop culture and sparked discussion for 10 years. this may also be due to the fact that it leaves room for interpretation, rather than providing simple explanations a characteristic of almost or banga the lower end. yeah, i think it is more of an opportunity to discover new stories, more new ways of looking at the world. it's when you have to really critical by all means that you shouldn't demonize at all now on the plane guys destroying our society. now we that's nonsense. across the

fascination with the ministry is margin on the multi light and fantastical make up 99 percent of manga. historical references can never be clearly interpreted, but i'm big us and stimulating. most estimate and manga series, last 4 decades of audiences grow with them. for the mostly young manga community is interesting for advertisers. how to the experts feel about the things was content. how did they assess the audience? and the ability to judge really tell when you formed military uniforms tanks, robots, military bases are a huge topic in the world of manga anatomy, both stylistically anesthetic late and, but if you take a closer look, you'll notice that the genres that especially use these codes in particular are actually critical of the military and these things are often more differentiated. then you might think from the outside because it's just drawn. it's just the

cartoon. and it's just animation that much and, but that's nice. it's exactly the opposite. it's exceptionally decreases. total teeth cleaned as it is, name is so i actually see the effect that a very open minded, which one very progressive 6 policies and, and that's why i think this critical view is present. otherwise, we wouldn't be discussing the series, wouldn't be all, but it's very difficult to use. the subculture is a growth from market with great potential, no longer just a fringe phenomenon that match the market we are dedicated to as a company is currently worth $250000000000.00 us dollars type each best buy that from this me. yeah. the rest of the tone un work. so one of the jimmy's biggest advertisers, striking deals with major brands impact the culture of sponsors. he's always trying to fight a key factor in the boom. that's causing the industry to grow. constantly nice, nice, most animated manga. tell the story of the under dogs. you have to fight your way

up through hard training diligence, ambition, and will power to be the most successful manga anatomy are always like that. i can see most of the journey is the destination. that sort of thing you mentioned is kind of gives young people courage to get in because they say if you believe in yourself and work hard, then you'll make it hot on the i back numbers to shuffle. the same is in mind god, i've us some break to booze with renovation, but also ignorance. even if a critical look at some series is necessary. one of the main characteristics of manga remains the complexity onto our 2nd topic, healing with whom we often see mixed and misunderstandings about the well known alternative healing method. pull me off with the is it the biggest scam all time or

the only real medicine or bitter debates about it here in germany? homeopathic remedies or even available as a prescription from doctors or alternative practitioners. several 100000000 euros are spent on globules in the like. in germany alone, it's a big business more than half of german to try. but skepticism from critics is growing. we delve into the history of who me off of the because it was actually invented in germany from here it conquered many regions of the world. the stainless globules, these harmless little pellets are supposed to be the healers or are they just sugar balls? the answer from assigned to the point of view is pretty clear. most of these viewers, uh, basically so the, the, the effect of the white palette is controversial. let's take a look at the manufacturing process. it is hardly changed in the last 200 years. how many off if he follows the principle of dilution, the more diluted, the better

a so called mother tincture is created from a starting substance. it can even be based on poisonous plants such as belladonna. and this basic substances gradually diluted further and further. homeopath call this point in time zation. one part of the original thing is attenuated by 9 pounds of water, oklahoma. and this is shaken up sort of a 10 times by typing the contain against the banks. then one part of this is taken and mixed with 9 pots, water in oklahoma, and taken out and so on and so forth. after a great deal of potentially, i think the result is a bit likely preventive. you'll drop in the ocean it's virtually impossible to detect even a single molecule of the original tincture anymore. for 200 years homeopathic have believe that the more diluted the substance, the greater the healing power. the shaking process is intended to charge the remedy with energy to this day, this is still done by hand. in the final manufacturing stuff, the solution is stripped or sprayed onto the sugar globules in germany. for example,

according to the e u directive la meals with a high diluted active ingredient, do not have to be approved. they only need to be registered. no proof of advocacy is required for this sounds more like faith and science. this is exactly what is being criticized and the regulations for homeopathic remedies are much less strict worldwide then for regular medicines, different paper manufacture only. but the formulation differently and it just provides the market somebody who's lucky enough made just the end of it. it's impression of early as part of the treatment. but somebody who is unlucky can actually get up fully prepared to the formulation which may have some attitude included that can be home for or in a country like germany known for its level of rules, regulations seem to be less important in the practice of homeopathy. how does this come about? let's go back to the very beginning. the founder of homeopathy is a german doctor, samo hand of mine. he was born in my son in 1755 and studied medicine in leipzig

after his studies. he struggled to earn enough money for himself and his family and worked mainly as a rider and translator. and he made himself unpopular with his colleagues with hurtful dire tribes and insults. some of his anger was directed up what he saw as the brutality of the medicine practiced in the 18th century method, such as blood loading were common knowledge of the human body was limited. toxic substances such as arsenic and mercury were administered in large quantities. the treatments often did more harm than good. the world is ready for gentler alternatives and samo him on seems to have found them. his aha moment came when he read about some china bark as a remedy for malaria, hunt him on dare to try it himself. taking the bark and actually developing malaria like symptoms he's done develop the so called the principle of similar switch homeopathic is still adhere to today. and basically what basically is that if a substance produces a particular the system don't. and of course, the, the same substance given in a very, i thought i use that form actually q are the same disease in the course of that is

what the basic major principle holy. but these like yours, like which has no scientific explanation to it. it's basically magical thinking, and that brings us directly to the next point. what touch the bottom line is that when we up is he does not work beyond the placebo effect in house. the most people accusation is the oldest whom we often see itself. even hon. and one was called the clock by other doctors, but the conflict between conventional doctors and alternative killers ultimately leads to an advance and medical research. the earliest double blind studies is carried out. this means that trial participants are randomly assigned to receive high their homeopathic preparations or placebo. this neither of the participants nor the researchers know who is getting which the test results sobering. there is no reliable evidence for the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies. but if you firmly believe in the effect, you don't need any proof. of course,

that was the case back then and is still the case nearly 200 years later. never the less patients swear that they feel better and not really can be the case. in many studies, researchers attribute possible therapeutic success to the placebo effect and then there was something else. the age, old mistrust of conventional medicine. the impersonal nature of large medical institutions can feel colder than alternative practitioners. i mean, it is a not more than that time. it's not necessarily physically effective drug therapy. if you do not medicine in the end, the other, something interpersonal costs, perhaps almost psychological. what else do you feel? you're in good hands. someone takes time for you and then it takes you seriously as a person, as an individual. yeah. and yes, of course, that also has an effect that is incredibly important. but that alone is no substitute for a really effective medicine to be seen. a persistent med is that healed to children and animals prove homeopathic effectiveness. the argument of home me off as he advocates is that animals in children don't even know how they are being treated.

so they don't have expectations about treatment. so there must be more to it than just the placebo effect. right, this is even also just keep. it is also the case that children and animals often have a very, very good and well functioning immune system. concord illnesses can flare up some of the overcomes benjamin. i see this of my children now too who somehow lay around with a high temperature one day in the jump around the next day, super heavy things i used to think. wow, of course, that was because of the globe goals i gave them. and now i see that it was either their immune system in their ability to heal themselves or the, or the natural course of illness funk. i think germany is the birthplace of home. the obviously, but it's recognition and integration into health care systems very globally. in some countries, home me off a day is more widely accepted and even part of the national health care systems, germany recognize the export potential of homeopathy. madison's early on shop, if, for example, entered large scale industrial production at the end of the 19th century and

quickly developed into the world leading company for homeopathic products. the products are exported to almost every country. india is currently the country with the highest number of homeopathic practitioners and users worldwide home it. but the was actually brought in from the west by the missionaries as part of a, you know, the organization and all that process that happened long ago. back part of that process of colonization was a social and educational reform implemented by the british in 1835. it prioritized english language education and western approaches over indigenous knowledge. this effect of traditional medical systems like all your data, a holistic practice. more than 3000 years old, british authorities considered in western medicine superior, and he also helped to push the popularity of home the office he in india. the maharaja is plagued by illnesses that are considered incurable at the time. finally, she hires a european personal physician who experiments with homeopathic remedies. the maharaja seal of approval is of course good for the image of home, the office,

the. this is comparable to the situation in india today. me but the actually bite extends otherwise you because it's, it's actually funded by the government. it's not in government. governor's is that are people feel that, you know, it's a, it's a legit or legitimate factors and for bracelet the government themselves up to blame for promoting such i'm saying that we practice this because they can't give problem but mitigation already to get to the 4 country in a, in a systematic manner. i think this is the reason by home. it, but the is very powerful and influential in uh in india you'd actually see good hospitals and daily. you're like basically good hospitals and get a lot. but you'll see that nobody hospitals like that and be hot or, you know, with the police and things looks at places like that. so in those gaps, these are the natives who packaged those actually coming, the natural and gentle, the perfect alternative to regular medication and above all, without the severe side effects. this has always been promised to whom we offer to users totally, but the use not without side effects. the active ingredient is extremely dilute at

how harmful cannot be. it seems to be relatively harmless, and in most cases it is. but there are exceptions that should be mentioned that other side effects appointment. but even people have done a southern guardian at least populated complications because it contains active hubs, which can stop the heart that i've only put the combinations which has left us a bit allergic reactions. that after taxes and patients have bought a new shock, and even if you're tolerate the medication, well, there could be a bigger problem applies to you, but i'm familiar with home. yeah. but the, because of a cold or because of a headache or stomach ache, especially in children on done, you think now if i use this, that will go away sick. yeah. but it probably would have gone away on its own order because of the receiver with i made it easier to way took them off that, but then you take it for more serious illnesses, crabs for pneumonia or bacterial societies loud and into them. and when you're dealing with perhaps, or a severe depression, this is all this is when it really gets critical financially on the pl soon the money met,

surrounding coming up as they are deeply rooted in history. and the debate over is the effectiveness of we'll continue. that's it from us again, we hope you enjoyed it. stay tuned. we'll be back next week with more exciting topics until then by, by the
