The absurd school of literature was a mistake. it gave any Idiot with a pencil the ability to vomit random problems and philosophical themes into a frame of art, with some symbolism, and label it a work of art, I blame France specifically.

Old examples of this "wannabe" form of literature ranges from "The Stranger" to "Waiting for Godot". They all have one thing in common, and that is the loss of meaning, but flashing the evidence of it's existence(the meaning)all around the work, through symbolism and dialogues with open-ended meanings.

But nonetheless, first-world teenagers and their likes will continue to praise these types of ... works under the false impression of depth and intelligence, and they are yet to wake up from this endless delusion.

This anime is a masterpiece of art, story and meaning wise, and also in terms of visuals and the artistic take, needless to say A1 did an amazing work with this anime, the cuts between regular scenes and battles is genius. The soundtracks are so beautiful, especially the second ending

it sheds the light on a unique subject which is how victims of racism loath remaining in a cage of pity, and the burden of having survivor's guilt. On the first subject, the characters demonstrate their distaste towards any compassion from their superior of an upper class, and this continues on throughout the story, they ... are more than mere victims of a hate crime, they have pride and values they stand by, unlike other mediums where racism is depicted as the main driving plot and the only message is how victims of racism are being harmed by it. As for the second theme, the main protagonist, the so called reaper, was always the last person any of his comrades see before they depart the world, the angel of death is the last thing anyone sees, so what if the angel of death was a human with the same mental and emotional limits as a normal human? The symbolism in this Anime is brilliant, it's not hidden yet it's so meaningful. ofc there are other themes in the story but this is what caught my attention the most. I have an analysis that connects the story of 86 with a certain event that happened in Japan and what came afterwards, but I don't think it'll be allowed here to mention it so I'll stop on this note.

Thanks for reading, this is my first review. English is not my first language, so be patient with me. :3
