I'd live in the Dragon Ball universe because it reminds me of the wild west with lots of exploration, dinosaur ridin', wishing for underwear havin, fightin' bad guy hijinks. Until it moves to Z and then everyone keeps dying every like 10 years when a bad guy invades and blows the earth up.

    I've been watching a lot of space western anime so shit. That would suck.

    Could I maybe just live in the small town from Jojo S3 and somehow not die? That season was basically just Persona 4.

        They're sick! I'm pretty new to anime as a whole so it's been a lot of fun watching them and going "oh hey it's that thing from the internet!" when a meme scene or something I've just absorbed comes on.

          well ibo is totally standalone, so if you're looking for space western anime you could do a lot worse than to check it out!

          it's not quite as much of a space western as say, trigun or certain episodes of cowboy bebop, but it's got a lot of grit, it's dusty, it feels lived in, and the soundtrack is heavy on the acoustic guitar. i'd say it's about as much of a space western as bebop averages out to. it's also just a very good show that manages to have pretty good politics.

          the show has a little more faith in electoralism than i do but it doesn't have much faith in it, it's stance is basically 'you can achieve some good through electoralism, but you'll never meaningfully affect structures of power, and therefore all the causes of the problems you want to solve will remain'
