and that's all for now. thank you so much for your company. the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in the smoke, it's karen use events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking. this has been the weekdays on d, w. m. is that a kind of calculating system, manga, and anime a series that trivialize and drawer for the military and weapons of the 2nd world war. so, so i'd characters in excess uniforms. swastikas,

so many germans. it's shocking to find out that manga and i'm a series seems to be making on critical use of not c aesthetics courses. of course, a huge problem because the state does not even put a stop to it. and how to get 40 foot. why of comics that trivialize the horrors of the nazi so successful historical references are completely ignored. at the feet had kyra's simply no awareness behind it. what is the holocaust, what ideology? what is this great catastrophe based on many to military uniforms on tanks, robots and military bases. and it's a huge topic in the manga inanimate world. how widespread is minute tourism in mind . you go and does this content pose a danger? the . this is what they tell us. wells of manga usually looks like populated by cute so,

so i turn those in funny questions. the illustrated stories followed adventure, fantasy and friendship. the manga fine community meets the annual light. see, put in germany where a peaceful and colorful costs play. festival also takes place a weapons, fish and not c worship. they don't exist here. but some people have stumbled across the occasional swastika while reading manga one of the 3 of them associated with the, especially when you come across a symbol that has such a negative connotation. you naturally want to see why it's in your rank up in my mind, go to this number. if you look into it, if it, you know what it actually means, especially in asia, if you look around here, there are a lot of people cost paying the top 2 minds you can once we have deliberately covered it up, which is a good habit. i have not on my own, but on my back a symbol that's covered up. if it's the swastika going in the opposite direction.

it's known in buddhism as a symbol of good now. but in germany, of course, it's better known for its meaning and national socialism, where it goes my other direction. of course, the similarity is frightening and disturbing for many in the colored manga series published in germany, the symbol is deliberately not redacted, but left as it is in the japanese. the original in the manga tokyo revenge is it is the asian symbol, the tombs subject of the young gang members as a mock of identification. the publisher emphasizes the origin of the symbol, notice benji, and it's original meaning as a symbol of good luck. on its website, the publisher attempts to raise awareness was a positive symbol that was really perverted by the non things. we want to publish an uncensored of a while, but we also want to be sure that there are no references denazi's the glorification

of the 3rd, right, and the like to highly show on the item. and that is absolutely not the case at all . in principle, this is a symbol of this game. in this context however, it was important to us, but there should be no conjunction or misunderstandings. so we put an explanation at the front of every volume on the phone i can find put simply will, glorifying, among the emotional fringe phenomena, german publishers scrutinize critically and do not introduce any examples of it on to the european market. the alarm in the heart and then some bizarre productions never the less makes a leap from the japanese market into the wide world. that's also the case for the 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 other in tank driving. it's been a major success in japan for years, with a mixture that fits into the co 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 know 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 in japan and defy to filled with over japan as a pest of this country. according to its constitution. it also invests billions in weapon systems for defense, re, i'm a mentor has been to content. so it's a political issue for years since i don't work as good for call. what? well, what is successful is then okay in japan, so to speak. and that is of course, a very big problem. this is not true is and guns, guns was complete. but why does this on critical affinity for the ministry in japan

come from the can. japan, reading manga is part of everyday life mind, gives the medium with equal states us along side books and film, manga read by people of all ages. so our mind games, it goes, boys, adults, and seniors. but was just the infatuation, even of things was not see cold in nice manga come from to understand it, you have to dig deep into the collective memory and look at history, the japanese past the nation with germany and everything german goes back a long way, more than 150 years in 1968, the mind, the restoration named for then and per my g began to fall reaching a peebles scholars was sent abroad in western teachers were brought in, especially from frushell. i'm,

i'm was this for all i'm feeling best 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 in medicine and see who are the best and law spectrum down for the best in the military? well, that's best and the best a military at that time was the prussian military and nothing happened to who was old. prussian experts were brought to japan to advise on modernizing the military, going to cast off and by way of the military was organized. it's now dissolute. of all sorts of things. it's very german oriented, honest. and even the military music is very german oriented. would it take me to come was because of the i'm and the hutch spent in pen orient. you pressure became a role model in terms of wolf. uh, the idea of the perfect military was shaped by germany from the very beginning. i'm 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 to you and who were simply militarized and systematically because it was in the interests of state to that i'm got something you missed. so it doesn't work like a light switch off for you, just like press it and then you'll switched from a militaristic society instead to a pass if this one keeps cuz that's after the 90 feet is because that's a post war. and the 1950 depend, like germany experienced an economic food in just a few decades. japan became a high tech nation. oh, there was constitutionally pass 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 sort of slides like you see the fascination on 2 sides of the reader side on the one hand or tool 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 time, i'd probably dockman for one of the best known is needs okey, she get the kindest and it's new. also drew and produced a bank called hitler law among a good sized that's a put a to make the autism it suki should go through emeralds. hit those biography in the 19 seventy's as a manga for adults. he had experienced the horrors of wolf 1st hand as a soldier and throughout his career, the manga authors, the post, all those who glorified rule. one of the full fathers of bank, the officers to zuka also. 1 also shop, he criticized. not see audiology. he drew the manga crime series out of a good testing. it saturated fictional philip based on the premise, the titles hitler had secret to jewish ancestry. how can young japanese people do this?

openly flaunting, the nazi ascetic. ignorant of the unimaginable atrocities committed by those who wore these uniforms. what is the least gross thing? these uniforms are kind of sexy. and i'm not really interested in the, in human ideology behind them. m, detroit and just 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 shifted the total cost of the let's get in. yeah, there are no concentration come from 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, just mit. i'm an open, honest with you. apparently the not css is more fascinating in countries that did not suffer under the nazis, according to researches and other aspect is that japan was an aggressor in world

war 2. but likes to point to the even was bad guys to nazis, possibly to divert attention from its own. built 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 $99.00 episodes is a fictional post apocalyptic course story. humanity is written by doug can take many things humanoids, quote, titans. this series also draws inspiration from germans, that type of song, these, huff, german, huff japanese. the protagonist is named aaron giga, jacob, being the general word for hunter. and the template for the medieval town is the bavarian town of nursing and to what is explosive is that the story is also being

criticized. is right. the critics in particular accusing the estimate of providing space for next and isn't and, and to submit it. conspiracy theories just like scroll through, the end is moved off. i spelled b as in a group that is imprisoned in this village. 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 the marginalized and exploited ass water for these type us. what's up with you the to tighten the old 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 as a reference to the jews and the 3rd rushman t on the flex cooper. i know i've been and if you consider that this in a group was originally the ruler of the world, 50 the flex global words, 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 of 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. off 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 on the tones, misses the complexity all keeping that attack on titan, criticizes fast you 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. despite the controversy, 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 is a global and yeah, i think it is more of an opportunity to discover new stories and take more new ways of looking at the world. so in think you have to really critical by all means that you shouldn't demonize at all now, and it's the main guys destroying our society. now we that's nonsense. catch the, the theme is in mind god, i've us some break to boost 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, manga polarized images of women and the depiction of buttons. oh, so it's a big step per folk discussion. what do you think mangos,

an important free space for deserving of more critical observation? let us know in the comments at the same time, the cbd in malawi is a group of amazing restaurants and places to eat, work and play. it's known as continue how and will explode this by b space in a bit. but 1st, here's what we've got for you in the show. it today fashioned inspiration from design on christopher are on the energetic streets of going on. we catch up with, out of mind being in the passion of classical music, composer who left a vision to set up an orchestra. and we find out how pose the good club became the 1st black owner of a wind farm in south africa. i'm cynthia going to zulu and you're watching after max.
