| I'm guessing you wouldn't want to wake up in a different body? I can't say that it had any personal significance to me. |

Quix2872 said: Small nitpicking here because it has some importance: Maru has romantic feelings for Kiruko, not Haruki. The whole story about Kiruko is about her identity crisis, so better use the proper name. :-)It was most likely because Mari had romantic feelings for Haruki, and until then we thought it was a normal romance between a boy and girl. But it was probably surprising to find out that Haruki was the mind of a boy. Ofc I’m not trying to be homophobic nor do I have anything against it, but some may just find it uncomfortable as they’re not used to it and don’t know what to think of it Kiruko may have Haruki's brain but she's a different person. |
| personally I wasn't too uncomfortable with the scene. But I feel like if it was live action without animation instead, I'd definetly be uncomfortable with it. So I don't think it's that unusual for you to feel uncomfortable by it. |
Quix2872 said: You mix up the names : Haruki is the boy that was almost killed in the past by a maneater and whose brain was transplanted into the body of his sister Kiriko, herself shot in the head. The resulting new person (Haruki's brain in Kiriko's body) called herself Kiruko (a mix of Haruki and Kiriko). And this is the person Maru spent time with and fell in love with.Ah I just chose to use Haruki’s name because the person Maru fell in love with was Haruki, as that’s the person Maru had been spending time with. But on this topic I was still confused and haven’t figured out whether Haruki literally went into Kiruko’s body or if Kiruko is just having and identity crisis and thinks she’s Haruki |
KonataStar104 said: I think this is a very good reaction in fact. Instead of badmouthing the author, you asked yourself why are you disturbed by these scenes. I was watching episode 3 in which we found out kiriko's backstory and how they have the brain of a man. I found myself quite uncomfortable with the scene and idea that Haruki's brain was transplanted into another body. Im curious why this may be I wasn't but I can see that I have somewhat a tendency to somewhat "ignore" the fact. Kiruko remained a girl in my eye and I tend to interpret most of the show through the prism that she's slowly accepting that she is a girl now. But that could be just an expression of my own prejudices and some form of conservatism. It's possible that this is not the author's position and I just disregard the hints that disagree with my interpretation. I'll see where it is going in the future but I found interesting that this show forced me to think about my own attitude. For me, this is a proof of a very good story. |
KonataStar104 said: same hereI was watching episode 3 in which we found out kiriko's backstory and how they have the brain of a man. I found myself quite uncomfortable with the scene and idea that Haruki's brain was transplanted into another body. Im curious why this may be? I've had similar experiences before with other media in which a character finds themselves no longer in their own body or their body has been modified. But this is the first time in ages where I felt this way. Was just curious if anyone else felt the same or have an idea what this reaction is? it gets even worse |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
Pimpi05 said: Nonsense. Usagi Drop went weird because the characters have a 25 years difference and have had a father-daughter relationship for most of the manga.This story is another "Usagi Drop" second half. Starts great, ends being creppy because mangaka has weird fetishes exploiting children with r**** and NTR. This is completely different, what happens in HD is never presented as something positive or desired by the characters, they're just terrible situation that can occur in a world where societies have broken down. I suspect you haven't watched the story at all and repeating just what you read somewhere else. If not, then indeed watch something else, you're too young for this. As for the rest of the manga, it is as good as the beginning and quite an enjoyable ride... for the ones who liked what has already been adapted. |
Pimpi05 said: There's no argument "to win" since you don't have any kind of argument to make. You're just dissing a manga you don't know by resorting to some out of context critics you found on Twitter.Heh, a clown resorting to "muh you too young" to win the argument appeared. Why you do that is beyond me but I won't bother anyway. If you had read the manga (and I mean, really read it, not just flipping the pages at great speed to find the scenes you read about on Twitter), you would know that all these scenes have context, explanations and consequences. And all impact the main characters in some way and create characters developments. Your childish comments just prove to anyone who has read this manga that you have not. Since I saw your other comments on another thread, it seems quite obvious you did read the manga or at least watched the anime. Which makes it even weirder for me to see your previous comments on this thread. It's easy to read this story through the cliché anime / manga tropes (waifu, NTR, all that crap) but that's the easy way out, to avoid facing that all these scenes have context, explanations and consequences. And all impact the main characters in some way and create characters developments. They're not just put there randomly, nor just for shock value, but because it's very likely that they would happen in the context of this story. |

Pimpi05 said: I skipped the rest of your rant, apart from making claims without any substance apart from the fact that you disliked the scenes, you indeed don't have an argument.You make this anime to look more than it is. There's this thing, when you write, you should know your audience. Your vision of good / bad writing is just what is is: your vision. The one of a random quidam on the net. Its only worth is the one people agree to credit. And so is my own opinion, for that matter. As for me, not only do I find the writing of this writing very powerful, managing to intricate seamlessly two storylines and perfectly dropping hints here and there allowing to understand the whole picture, I also find the characters' development and relationships very interesting and accurate, particularly the consequences of this rape which are very realistic. The two scenes that obviously embarrass you are very important in my view. They're not shown in a way that make them erotic, it's obvious that the author do not endorse or promote these actions, they are disturbing and rightly so, they happen because there's no way such scenes cannot happen in such a world. Just as we should also be disturbed by the story of several men enslaved and repeatedly raped by armed women and still, surprisingly, I don't see any complain about that. This shows that people are very selective about what they react to. There has been in this story a woman cut in pieces by a monster, an euthanasia situation, a boy eaten by a monster, the world destroyed and billions of death and many other horrors and yet you focus on two scenes, as if the rest of the story was a walk in the park. Know your audience, you said? The writer does, it's seinen, it's for adults. Yes, a good writer should aim to please his viewers. A good story with a climatic fight at the end and all Oh well, I guess that explains it all... |
Pimpi05 said: Never seen any reference to that. Nothing on Mangadex and "'Ishiguro Masakazu doujin" on Google doesn't yield anything meaningful.Author does not endorse this behavior? He draws NTR doujins for faps just with scenarios like this :DD In any case, if you write a gore story, that doesn't mean you endorse the contents of it. You just write it because you feel there is an audience for it. What I meant here is that the way the scenes are written in HD do not show any more than needed insistence on the victim suffering, which is a significant difference with for instance your Game of Throne reference. What is shown is the minimum necessary to allow for the information to pass and no more (same for violent scenes). |
| Never felt uncomfortable while watching Tengoku Daimakyou. But then again i'm no snowflake, but an adult who can handle some moving pictures on a screen. Unlike other users do in this thread, only hating on the show because of their weak nature. |

I'm not reading any replies or comments directed at me at all. I know my truth and if you disagree: that's fine but i couldn't give a damn about :) |
