Golden Kamuy. I don't want to explain why.

If you want an anime world, there's always the classic Ranma 1/2 option. That world is at least fairly close to our own universe, so I think I could manage there alright. I'll just stay out of Nerima to avoid its chaos. And I'll probably be taking a vacation to rural China. I can just get used to taking cold or lukewarm showers.

I first saw a few of the first episodes of this back in 1993.

I have never found anything else since.

Do more episodes exist somewhere?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I recommend you pirate it. But that's just the kind of person I am. But no, it was a whole series, like 7 seasons or something. It was pretty long. And they only did part of the manga, which is much longer still.

But the manga can still be bought, as well as DVDs of the original series. And I'm sure it's streaming somewhere. But interestingly, there is actually a reboot series active right now. The second season will be out in October.

Ranma will always have a place in my heart. As a repressed trans kid, the series was one of the few outlets I had for some very complex feelings. Yet I was so embarrassed I would watch it only past midnight, at minimum volume, on a laptop under a blanket. Yet it still took my idiot self another 7 years to put the pieces together.

I will look again, thank you for the heads up!

I got Crunchy Roll, some time back, for my daughters and saw it on there, but it was only the few episodes I had seen before.

I have no issues pirating, especially after having content I FUCKING bought get pulled. (Looking at you, Amazon Prime).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Yeah I just pirate the hell out of it. I should like, buy some merch or something. IDK.

There is also lord of the mysteries where this one path of magic turns you woman.

Like not a spell that turns you woman but the act of studying magic itself. You are in the middle of your training or whatever and poof. Congratulations.

I could get on board with this...

I'm partial to both Kim Stanley Robinson's Blue Mars, which does have advanced medicine and society, and Avatar The Last Airbender, where I imagine waterbending healing might have some kind of advanced medicinal power.

Wish granted.

Monkeys paw effect: you have been fed a SMILE fruit. It did not go your way.

Star Trek, I want fully automated luxury space communism where every major society (including the Klingons) have fully accepted trans rights :3

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is that something from the new shows, or that meme of Kor hugging Jadzia and swapping names?

Kor isn't exactly big on acceptance overall, just his friends. He blocked Martok from joining the Klingon officer academy because he didn't have a prestigious enough lineage. Basically he was too working class.

Thats still significantly better than what we have today (the first part)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would say focusing on personal desires while completely ignoring or acting against the well being of general society is exactly why our society is crumbling. And why so often you'll see conservatives turning heel when someone they care about turns out to be trans, or gay, or are affected by medieval immigration practices, and so on.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah but so many Conservatives won't even accept trans people even if they're friends or family, thats my point. We are at such a low level that hatred seemingly overpowers any sense of love of community for many, even for the people closest to them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

It's still about personal desire over public good, though. That's my point. Doing something only because it hurts something you care about, rather than because it damages a part of society that doesn't directly impact you, is killing us. Both metaphorically and physically. Having empathy for people directly in your life is good... but having empathy for those who are little more than a concept in every day life is how society will better itself.

The sci-fi answer is The Culture

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They really should make a show, game, or movie series of it.

We should really read it.

The Culture

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Culture

I hadn't heard of this. It seems cool. =D

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's really good :) the Culture is the author's ideal utopia, basically, but he does a great job showing complexity and humanity within and around it.

But yeah, in it humans have crazy genetic upgrades that let them manufacture drugs, hormones, etc at will. Most people change sexes at least once in their life, and youre considered odd if you don't at least try it. One male character loves being pregnant, so every couple years he transitions, has a kid, and then goes back.

Illness, of course, is also unknown. One ship's population decided to catch colds for the hell of it, nobody had had a cold before. They thought it would be entertaining. Their ship naming conventions are great, too.

I love it all

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago
