| It doesn't really fuck with your brain because the Syndrome's causes and effects are NEVER explained, and tbh they weren't the point. I feel sorry for everybody who tried to find some meaning in Futaba's Quantum Theory rants. |

I don't get how this is so popular. |

That's why you should always ripoff quality stuff so that even if you mess up, it's still very unlikely for it to be below mid. |

I don't get how this is so popular. Not really; they basically created a scenario where highschool girls manifested supernatural powers because they wished for something to change, and it did, albeit drastically. It's like your typical shower thoughts, brought to life. Mai wanted to disappear from the public eye, and she LITERALLY did. And so on. I think the quantum explanations were satirical in a way, given the writer wasn't expecting us to buy it, but played along. That's a quirky and unconventional way to write, I'll give him that. |

That's the reason it has a Supernatural tag, not a Sci-fi one. Either way, that's just what I interpreted and everybody won't feel the same way. |

You're giving the author a lot of credit that he doesn't deserve. Why would he include a bunch of quantum mumbo-jumbo, which (according to you) should not be taken seriously, and whose exclusion would not have the slightest impact on the plot, characters, or anything else of importance in the story? It's not for satirical purposes, and I don't think you understand what that word means. |
Parataxicalis said: Why would he include a bunch of quantum mumbo-jumbo, which (according to you) should not be taken seriously It comes off as witty and ironical, given that the world is undoubtedly supernatural, yet Futaba is trying to make some sense out of it. The MC in this case is clearly meant to be a stand in for the audience, because he takes everything she says with a grain of salt, thoroughly unconvinced. It doesn't take a lot to notice that. If you're taking it seriously, or have a problem with not taking it seriously, that's your interpretation of the media, and you can't really expect me to be on the same page. |

I'd have no problem taking the quantum explanations from a non-serious perspective if it weren't for the fact that there's still no convincing evidence that they add anything meaninful to the story or even need to be included in the first place. The quantum explanations are absolutely not witty. Specifically, it's not funny (in fact, I don't think it even attempts or pretends to be), and it's certainly not used in a particularly clever or insightful manner. I'm also not convinced that this "ironic" contrast between the supernatural and the scientific you speak of has any real meaning or purpose in the broader framework of the story. The way you describe it makes it look more like an accidental afterthought than a purposeful inclusion. |

This statement sounds like an oxymoron. Why would you take them seriously if you felt they didn't add something to the show? Not everything about a show needs to somehow elevate the narrative; that's a very weird standard to have. Either way, I'm nobody to judge. Parataxicalis said: As far as humour goes, we'll have to agree to disagree. I wasn't particularly rolling around laughing either; but it was something I found amusing.The quantum explanations are absolutely not witty.

The way you describe it makes it look more like an accidental afterthought than a purposeful inclusion. I don't think I ever gave the impression I was trying to 'convince' people. I like talking about fiction in general, and this isn't even a show I'm very fond of. And again, those are your standards. I can't imagine sitting through a show and expecting everything to add to the 'broader framework' of the story, as you said. Especially a show made for teenagers; male and female alike, to self insert. Although I must say, calling it an accidental afterthought is quite the way to describe it. |
| @certifiedbinger By "serious", I'm referencing your earlier words regarding whether we take the quantum explanations at face value or not. So there's two possibilities regarding all this quantum theory: either the author is simply using these for literary/stylistic effect (a "non-serious" interpretation if you will) or he actually intended for them to be a canon explanation for what is happening in the story (a serious interpretation). Unlike you, I'm of the opinion that the latter option is the purpose; that is, the author intended threw in quantum explanations to be used as an actual explanation of this "adolescence syndrome" given how central this syndrome is to the plot of many of the arcs. The problem is that these explanations are effectively a shoddy patchwork of ideas that is not fleshed out to actually explain anything in any meaningful way. You might as well just take it all out and rebrand the story as a purely supernatural tale, and the story would function identically without any loss of ideas. But even if we assume the quantum explanations serve a primarily literary function, it fails to achieve any real or meaningful literary effect. That's really my main gripe with this whole thing. Yes, perhaps I'm being overly harsh about it, but mainly because this is an anime that is already relatively mediocre at best and problematic at worst in most other respects. Monogatari could probably get away with a toothbrush scene here and there, but I'm not willing to hand this anime the same free pass on something much more important. |
