It's exactly what it says on the tin. Anime, manga, and other forms of Asian entertainment like them.

I feel like maybe there's some unexamined assumptions here. I want to agree with part of this but it's so one-sided and narrow and playacting at being shallow and sophomoric.

Anyway in the article's favour I do love a good irredeemable Shakespearean villain. Give me a vampire-capitalist and stick a stake through their heart. I love it. That said, I think the writer is just pretending to not understand how sympathetic or anti-villains might be constructed with a particular work's themes or thesis.
