Quoted By:
I always find it funny that people don't know anything about Kanto. It has many interesting themes, influences, and aesthetics:
>Toriyama
>Giger
>retrofuturism
>sci-fi
>ESP
>Mobius
>eugenics
>jurassic park
>safari
>mad scientist
>malware
>martial arts
>ancient civilizations
>kaijus
>american exceptionalism
>circus
But all the detractors choose to remember is:
>crime
>pollution
>poison
I get the youtubesque narrative that Kanto is plain and boring scratches an itch but it really shows how little people understand Kanto and how much they crammed into it. It's partially the fault of GF for sanitizing the region as time goes on but the original has a very rich tapestry of themes.
