finished portilla's aztec thought and culture but took down my notes on it since i think james maffie's Aztec Philosophy will be more worth the time

I have no strong feelings on this series in particular either way, but I think "funny" series are the hardest to critique since humor is so subjective. I rarely find anime "funny" as much as I enjoy it, with rare exceptions that tend to fit my bizarre sense of humor. I think I'm like the last person in the world to fondly remember Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo for instance. (1/2)

I don't HATE Panty & Stocking, but I feel about it about like I do Family Guy. I can acknowledge why it's supposed to be funny and I get why people like it but somehow it just doesn't make me laugh. I have been told that the dub changed a LOT in P&S though, especially humor wise--not sure if the original is any "funnier" or not. (2/3 actually lmao)

There are rare series where I enjoy the original scripts but find the dubs "funnier" and more clever in their writing even when they change too much--Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and Keroro Gunsou being the main examples off the top of my head. I do wonder if I'd feel that way about P&S in reverse since the dub humor doesn't "land" for me, but I haven't honestly cared enough about the series to try that... (3/3)

I watched the dub, so I may start from the ground up watching it subtitled. The review has been put off until at least December for now.

That sounds like a good call. I admire the hustle but I don't think anybody should expect you to subject yourself to an experience you find this unenjoyable, not even yourself!

i wonder what religious studies people make of Hegel's philosophy of religion

I'm not sure if I would consider myself a religious studies person and have not read "Introduction to the Philsophy of Religion" yet, but if it takes a "Phenomenological" approach to spirituality, I'm all for it...

...Some related work is that of Rudolf Steiner, particularly the ideas that have Goethe as an influence. A lot of "mysticism", Christian and otherwise, has a tendency to home in on conditioning oneself in order to receive personal revelation ("gnosis")...

...It can be quite pratical at times too (e.g.: like how regular meditation leads to physiological changes that quiet the mind and bring about a long-term sense of peace). Buddhism is a particularly clear example of this...

...Generally, I believe that all science came about through such methods and can be directly traced all the way back into prehistory by way of what would now be referred to as "Alchemy". The "natural philosophers" (Decartes, Newton, Leibniz, et al.) were quite mystical...

...For example, Decartes' "Meditations" is literally a Yoga manual. It demonstrates a method for obtaining "moksha" (or "liberation") through knowledge of Self. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa4WtuR0wbY]

thanks for your input! i meant more along the lines of the actual academic discipline of religious studies but you might be interested in Glenn A. Magee's Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition

i don't consider myself terribly interested in mysticism and while i found Magee's book somewhat interesting i found allegations of Hegel's hermeticism sort of besides the point to Hegel's larger philosophical project and ambitions

Ah, I see. While I am not too familar with the field, maybe the work of Jon Stewart can give us some clues? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Stewart_(philosopher)

I would not be surprised if you've already heard of him though. Thanks for the heads up on the Magee book. I have to check that one out. Looks fantastic!

I triggered people on Reddit about Panty & Stocking and I found it worthwhile to hear alternate viewpoints: https://www.reddit.com/r/CharacterRant/comments/w938s2/the_anarchy_twins_from_panty_stocking_with/ .

I think a problem you might be having (and a problem a lot of people have when interacting with various low brow anime) is that it's just not meant to be taken very seriously. And some people aren't able to enjoy media in a non serious way, which is totally valid. PSG is like a lowbrow 80s sexploitation ultraviolence hentai OVA, or a Go Nagai property. It's bad by design

Don't force yourself to watch it if you're really not enjoying it just for a review, there's better gainax/trigger series out there. PSG is literally just anime Sausage Party. Your writings on the series sound like you're in physical pain lolol take care of yourself!!

Sounds good, I might take a break from it, I have a surprise review about a donghua that I think the community would like to know about.
