Im watching a retro anime called Oishinbo which on it's face is an anime about people working at a newspaper to create the ultimate michelin guide style foodie menu.

The subplots are

  1. Main Character hates his arrogant supertaster dad. Dad killed his mom through sheer stress.

  2. A girl who works with him whom he slowly builds a romantic relationship with. She is also a supertaster and never wrong although she doesnt have the background that protagonist or his Father have.

  3. Protagonist is so cool because he knows everything about food and cooking even though on the surface hes a bum gambler. He convinces an entire room of people that French cuisine was good as Japanese because he puts mayonnaise in soy sauce and then eats sashimi with it.

The real intention of this show is to be the mouthpiece for late 80's right wing propaganda.

Japan is always the best and there's a weird quiet reverence anytime Japan as a nation is brought up. It's almost Hank Hill level but past that because the implication is that every other country is inferior. The traditional way is always the best and Japanese ingredients are always the best in most cases.

Two parter episode where the MC are arguing that whaling is cool and good because Whale tastes good and is a part of Japanese culture. They frame the anti-whaling movement as (arrogant) foreigner intrusion and bulldoze over Japanese also being against whaling and the necessary bans of many endangered whale.

Also, if eating whale meat is bad because theyre smart, then eating any meat is bad and sinning is okay because convoluted buddhist argument. I couldn't watch it all, the episode start heading in the direction of comically evil foreign non-profit trying to make money off the anti-whaling movement as the antagonist. They had some argument about Minke whale population actually growing but I'm sure that number is skewed in someway.

Counterpoint:

Nobody wants to be a morning person, were conditioned to do it by work and school and theyre resentful of people who dodged that matrix.

Who the fuck wakes up at 6 on a Saturday? Someone who got cheated from life.
