is of the 2nd world war. so, so i'd carrot says and assess uniforms. swastikas, so many germans. it's shocking to find out that manga and i'm a series seem to be making on critical use of not c esthetics. leaving courses of course a huge problem because the state does not even put a stop to it. and how to 45th. why of comics that trivialize the horrors of the nazi so successful historical references are completely ignored or the tire is simply no awareness behind it. what is the whole, the cost? what ideology, what is this great catastrophe based on a community military uniform on tanks, robots, and military bases. and it's a huge topic in the manga anatomy world. how widespread is minutes arisen in manga? and does this content pose a danger? the,

this is what the colorful world of manga usually looks like. what could i did by cute so, so i turn those in funny questions. the illustrated stories followed adventure, fantasy and friendship. the magnifying community meets the annual like see, put in germany where a peaceful and colorful costs play. festival also takes place a weapons, fish, and not see where a ship they don't exist here, but some people have stumbled across the occasional swastika while reading manga one of the 3 of the associated with an appraisal, especially when you come across a symbol that has such a negative connotation, you naturally love to see why it's in your language in my mind, go to this. i mean, 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, you want to have deliberately covered it out and which is a good habit. i have not on my arm, but on my back

a symbol that's covered up as best. it's the swastika going in the opposite direction. is shown 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 to get a bit. of course, the similarity is frightening and disturbing for many in the colored manga series published in germany, the symbol is deliberately not rejected. but left as it is in the japanese original, in the manga tokyo revenge is it is the asian symbol, the tombs, the jacket of the young game 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 gnostics. we want to publish an

uncensored of a while, but we also want to be sure that there are no references denazi's glorification of the 3rd, right. and the like to highlight that. 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 that 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 manga all emotional infringe phenomenon. jim and publishers scrutinize critically and do not to introduce any examples of it on to the european market. the alarm in the heart and then some dissolved productions never the less makes the 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 enemy 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 current japanese social discourse and is easily marketed. and that's difficult with an admission to a month, 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 of for them also against the background to the fact that the military in general is currently being promoted by the state in japan to fight to get filled with the japan as a pest of this country. according to its constitution, it also invests billions in weapon systems for defense, real moments. it has been a contemptuous political issue for years. since i don't work less as good for call . what? well, what is successful is been okay in japan, so to speak. and that is of course,

a very big problem. this is my brothers and guns, guns cause complain. but what does this uncritical affinity for the ministry in japan come from? the japan reading manga is part of everyday life. man gives the medium with equal status along side books and film, manga read by people of or ages. so our mind games, it goes, boys, adults, and seniors. but was this the infatuation, even a dangerous nazi coach 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 minds 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 prussia. some was 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 spectrum? death or the best in the military? would. that's the best. and the best 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, already insights and will you take me to cameras? it gets off the on the hutch sent in an open and 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

within st. a selfie lit you may have to realize that there were a lot of young people who played with more toys the time during the war and took me to tons of youth 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 you'll switch from a militaristic society instead to a pass that this one looks goofy. i to have to 90 feet is because we have to post war in the 1950 depend, like germany experienced an economic food in just a few decades. japan became a high tech nation. oh that was constitutionally passed. 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 may and got kind of different and that sort of 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 could size and there are people who have written manga who were themselves coming back. nice back small soldiers and the 2nd world war kind of probably the document for one of the best known is needs of the she get a little bit kind of this new also drew and produced, a manga called hitler hip law among the good size not to put it see if i make the office mit suki should go through emeralds. hit those biography in the 1970s as a manga for adults. he had experienced the horrors of war 1st hand as a soldier, and throughout his career, the mind the authors to post all those who glorified rule. one of the full fathers of banga alters to zuka. oh samo also sharply criticized. not see audiology. he drew the manga crime series out of a good testing. it's actuated fictional philip based on the premise to 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. but those who wore these uniforms. what is the least wireless thing to these uniforms? they're kind of sexy and i'm not really interested in the, in human ideology behind them m detroit. and it's been around for a long time as little as an ongoing discussion in japan would this destination 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 to shifted the total cost. i see as we skipped. and 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 as i can 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 worse bad guys to nazis, possibly to divert attention from its own guilt. the way in which understandings of history in japan and germany defy and does not critically scrutinize can be seen beyond nice products. on my approach to the difficult historical facts even appears in a successful world wide series. some manga, and i'm 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. few minutes he is frightened by doug, can take many things humanoids cold tysons. this is also draws inspiration from german to typhon song, these huff, german half japanese. the protagonist is named aaron giga, jacob, being the jun good for hunter. and the template for the medieval town is the

bavarian town of nursing. and what is explosive is that the story is also being criticized, is the way the critics in particular accusing the estimate of providing space for an explanation and anti semitic conspiracy theories. the blank scroll through the list, though i spelled b as new group that has imprisoned in this village. they used to be the rulers of this world. and faith and my uncle give us later in the main, but it's revealed that this ethnic group was originally the rules are funded the house up and then they were oppressed the marginalized and exploited as water for these type us. what's up with you? the t tom and the old boy, they are depicted with a bracelet with a star on it did. but i'm, i'm back with understand. oh so it's not too far fetched to argue that this ethnic group is a reference to the jews. and the 3rd reisman's, the flex cooper. i know i've seen them and if you consider that this ethnic group was originally the ruler of the world, 50, the flex global or something, it's not

a far leap to say that it's okay. that reminds me of anti submitted 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 merchandise in 2021 off. and that was quite including from the fan base, the items with quickly withdrawn but finds, defend the series. they say the allocation that it has nationalistic, under tons, misses the complexity of keeping that attack on tighten, 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 because the emphasized, the most trust is inherent in every human being. not just an 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 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. 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 same is in manga o w of 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, manga polarized images of women and the depiction of.
