A Satirical Dive into Anime Tropes and Absurdities
VK REDUB's song "Não Entendo Esses Autores" is a satirical commentary on the often bizarre and exaggerated elements found in anime. The lyrics are a playful critique of various anime tropes, characters, and plotlines that seem absurd or over-the-top to the artist. The song opens with a reference to a 'lolicon bisonho,' a term that critiques the problematic portrayal of young characters in some anime, leading to the arrest of a character named Elizabeth. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which continues to highlight the strange and sometimes controversial aspects of anime storytelling.
The artist mentions several well-known anime series, such as "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure," "Attack on Titan," and "One Piece," pointing out their peculiarities. For instance, the exaggerated poses in "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" are likened to characters preparing for a photo shoot, while the character Levi from "Attack on Titan" is humorously described as a 'porra de um anão' (a damn dwarf) who excels at killing titans. The song also touches on the sexualization and erotic scenes prevalent in many anime, questioning the motivations of the creators behind these choices. This is evident in lines about characters humiliating themselves to see panties or engaging in erotic scenes to gain power, as seen in "Konosuba."
VK REDUB also references the cultural impact and fan reactions to these anime, such as the cancellation of "Uzaki-chan" due to its controversial content and the enduring popularity of characters like Sanji from "One Piece." The song's chorus repeatedly emphasizes the artist's bewilderment with anime authors, encapsulating the overall theme of confusion and amusement at the absurdity of these narratives. By blending humor with critique, "Não Entendo Esses Autores" offers a unique perspective on the world of anime, inviting listeners to reflect on the often strange and exaggerated elements that define the genre.
