Beltzebrute said:I have a confession: I initially watched this anime 6 and a half months ago expecting to consider it bullshit, because I myself have a little sister whose 3 years younger than me. I thought the incest would disgust me. To my surprise it was the best part of the anime. This will probably sound stupid, but my guess is that it's like watching horror movies: I like seeing characters die, but I would never wish for that to happen to me. In the same way, I like seeing the bro and sis get together, but would never EVER think of that happening between me and my sist...oh fuck, I feel like vomiting...
Whatever...so, my point is, even after 6 and a half months, not a single day goes by that I haven't thought at least once about the Sora arc. After running races, occasionally during work when I'm not required to concentrate, during my free time...my mind happens to randomly trail off to Yosuga no Sora. I tried replacing it by watching other anime/reading other manga/playing videogames/working. But nothing. I sometimes find myself crying for no reason and I cannot understand why, but I know it has to do with this beautiful anime. My favourite videogame of all time is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. My favourite movie is Fried Green Tomatoes. I happen to think about those too, but they don't even come close to the impact that the Sora arc had on me. The only thing I've thought about more throughout the years was this girl I used to love, and maybe still do, wondering what could have been if I'd just mustered up the courage to confess instead of just playing the part of the indifferent.
But that's besides the point, isn't it? Fact is, Haru and Sora's bond, despite being incestuous, is the purest form of love I've ever experienced in fiction, more so than the platonic one between Idgie and Ruth. I cannot help but feel this way. My point is, I'd like to ask, has there ever been anything in fiction that captured your heart so ferociously, to the point where it hasn't let go of it for six months or so? 'Cause right now, that thing is the Sora arc for me. I just cannot get this out my head.
I've just poured my heart out to all of you, despite knowing not many, if hardly anyone at all will read this. I just needed to get it out of me. So please, if you do happen to read this, tell me your thoughts. I'd be glad to listen to them all.
