ja,ja,ja books are nices.
I wonder: Are you judoka?
I hope you heal quickly and feel better soon! Thank you for reaching out. I’ve been off MAL recently since my work schedule has been pretty nuts lately.
Secondly, the novel is a political attack on Western Europe's post-Christian philosophies of the 19th century including what would become Nietzschean philosophy, social Darwinism, and all the others that tried to set aside traditional morals. The killer believes that as a superior person, he has the right to kill a shitty pawnbroker and steal her money. The law only applies to lesser people. However, he still has a conscious and is unable to fully convince himself that his murders were justified because such thinking is fundamentally inhuman. In Goethe's Faust, which was written 30 years before Crime and Punishment, the hero kills a number of people in his pursuit of power and that's portrayed as totally fine because to strive for greatness is all that matters for a great man. What happens to lesser people is none of his concern. Goethe was writing in the abstract and never really thought of applying this philosophy to his real life, but others took the idea and ran with it. Dostoevsky recognized immediately this could only lead to great evil and suffering.
Finally, the novel can be appreciated as a psychological drama showing the incredible suffering of a guilt ridden conscience. As Raskolnikov suffers, we the reader suffer alongside him. When he finally confesses his guilt and is forgiven by the friend of one of his victims, it is almost as much a relief to the reader as to him. Few novels ever written are quite as emotionally moving and impactful.
None. I personally wouldn't look to Youtube for the best of high-brow analysis or character dissections. I rarely ever go out of my way to find analytical content anyways, much less about anime. But from my experience the most insightful commentaries and descriptions for anime have come from various blog posts. If you are looking for Youtubers to follow though, I'd probably recommend:
- Pause and Select (the only anime youtuber I've seen take an academic approach to his videos)
- Bonsai Pop (fairly comprehensive videos on all kinds of shows, both recent and classic)
- Digibro (inconsistent but has made some really great videos over the years)
- Best Guy Ever (similar to Digibro but more lively, passionate presentation and tackles shows you probably wouldn't expect)
- Craftsdwarf (haven't seen much of his but has some good character studies from long-running shounen)
- Matthwiz (same deal as Craftsdwarf but isn't as active anymore)
- SuperEyepatchWolf (his criticisms of shows aren't good but arguably has the most accessible videos in the "anitube" sphere)
- Caribou-coon (interesting focus of specific shows and people in the industry)
- Mr. Cynical (by far the best video on Monster I've seen. Also makes videos about films and hot topics in the anime community)
- WatTheWut (fuck this guy but he also makes good videos about hot topics in the community)
- The Canipa Effect (actually taks about the production/technical aspects of anime
There's also guys like Aleczandxr, Kato and Hiding in Public that you might enjoy and I know they all have quite a few videos about FMA:B
