| I know it was intended to do that and give that suffocating feeling, that's why I recognize it's great. It's also why I can't say I "liked it" or even "enjoyed it". I can only say I wasn't bored by it. I won't do a review or impressions, nor explain myself further here (maybe I will later, because no anime has made me feel this way). I just want to say I'm not sure how to feel about it. People keep saying that everything is disturbing and shocking so I never believe them. This time though... it felt like watching a snuff film at times, without being one. Objectively great, subjectively I can't handle it but understand and appreciate the message and the intention. I don't appreciate the rawness, but it's there for a reason. |
| unpopular opinion: this thing was more like terrible than terrifying. it tried to be scary and dark but it ended being a shitpost just like serial experiment lain and evangelion |

ChrisDC said: I believe that's intended as we're supposed to feel as uncomfortable as Mima. It's the type of anime that watches you as much as you watch it as it's about unconscious projection and reactivity using Carl Jung's persona and shadow concepts Agreed. Didn't make the paralelisms with Jung's persona and shadow directly but I did relate it in general to his cognitive functions. Let's just say I relate to the protagonist a lot, even as a male, in the broader message of the film. |
juenixhejs said: I think satoshi kon was a genius like he used the anime medium to create such an incredible movie which shows such serious themes and yeah i get its very disturbing but i think thats what its trying to evoke on the viewer Uncomfortability its trying to put you on Mima’s place Yeah. It seems like people here didn't read properly. I said it was intended as well. |
Alallp said: This is like complaining about a horror movie for being scary. Expressing that I don't know what to feel or think about it. that I have mixed feelings and I can't properly rate it right now. And also to see if someone experienced like that. |
If only you knew how to read, no. it's not pointless. The reply about Jung was interesting and thoughtful, around this exact topic. Also, I wanted to leave behind this post as a warning. This movie is the real deal, both in it's quality and in it's shock value. |
Reply to ChrisDC
@BustedBayou are you relating through the SI or FE functions for her? or have you observed different cognitive functions present with her character?
| @ChrisDC Mainly through Fe, the clash against critical Fi shadow (Mima-rin) and the lack of Ne to get out of that lifestyle. I have always been a high Fi ISFJ though, but I still get it and it reminds of all the times I haven't drawn the line in the sand propperly. It also reminds me of someone very dear to my heart that has even more trouble with people pleasing above their own wishes. Let's just say the movie caught me in the worst (or best) time as an artistic piece. |
