あ、なんか、うちも前これとまったく同じ事をいつも、あのｔｌｄｒさんに書いた気がするwww。ほんまに、気にさんとえぇで。うちより気まんまな人はいねぇやし、言えなくともそうはしたんだ。証拠として、その文章さえ今日、９月12日ではじめて読んだ。メッセージを何回も拾い読んだにせよ、読んでいないとこもたくさんあるだそう。それもそれとして、これを書くのはきっと面白くなるんやね！

ならよいとする！多分俺もそうするかも。メッセージがどんどん長くなってきて、読む時間が少なくなって、多分一気に読まないほうがいいねｗｗｗｗ。っていうか、一気に読んだら何が言っているが全然わからなくなる、なんだよその偽関西弁？！わかるのに時間かかったよ！かかりすぎて恥ずかしいぐらい！まー、かかりすぎたと言っても、二、三回読んだらほとんど理解したからへきっす。けど、本当に面白い書き方なんだね〜。いつかそんな風に書く日が来たら、一緒に偽関西弁で話し合おう！沖縄弁も習おう！島んじゅぬたからか何かだな？はいはい、わかっております、もう沖縄出身と違いはありませんね、きっときっと。

Por acaso nesse meio tempo eu li uma primeira novel spin-off de danganronpa, Danganronpa Kirigiri, e foi uma ótima novel de mistério, com o japonês mais facil q já vi em literatura tbm. Tem uma série de novels Danganronpa Togami escrita pelo Yuuya Satou, cara da geração Faust, o novo jogo dos criadores chega na steam em ingles daqui a pouquin. Duma dessas megafranquias pela qual mais me interesso. Será q já nela adentraste, nesse meio tempo? Ficarei curioso com suas reações.

rapaz, nem sabia que tinha novel spin-off de danganronpa kkkkkk. mas isso é interessante. infelizmente não cheguei a começar a jogar, a primeira prova do ITA é agora dia 13 de outubro, então nesses tempos eu só to jogando celeste umas 2 vezes por semana só pra relaxar um pouco mesmo, o tempo que eu ia gastar jogando danganronpa eu acabei gastando com omori em julho. se ainda esse ano eu for começar a jogar, vai ser depois do ciclo de vestibulares acabar no início de novembro, daí eu vou ter uns 2-4 meses 100% livre pra jogar esses jogos do backlog(se eu passar, apesar de eu ter q ir pra são paulo em janeiro, as aulas só começam mesmo no início de março, aí tem tempo pra jogar). quando eu jogar eu te aviso. nesse pace de uma mensagem por mês, toda mensagem vai ter assunto o bastante pra falar sobre o jogo quando eu começar a jogar.

Outra dessas coisas particularmente populares aqui no Brasil tbm. E não há uma alma viva que tenha experienciado na ordem certa. Se me permitir a mim, deixe-me colaborar com isso com você tbm.

Eu tô assumindo que tu ta falando de umineko? se for o caso, vá em frente, jovem kiwiwiっち: o grande herói das ordens de leitura. apesar que, se for umineko e eu não estiver tendo um brainfart confundindo o que tu ta falando, a ordem não seria só ver os episódios em ordem? Se tu tá falando, vou assumir que tem algum extra no meio que é importante ler ou algo assim.

ははん－、今は日本語でさえ１００ページを一日で読んだことがある、今日、これを合間に、７０ぐらいは読む予定でもある。それも３０年代、大むずい、大名作を。なんと、黒死館殺人事件を読んでいます。三大奇書の、第一作。今まで読んだ一番難しかしい、どんな言語に限っても、ポルトガル語で書けられたらそれでも、本当にobtusoな本です。そして、そんなに良い本でもありません。勉強には超、役には立っているけど。

すごいな〜、kiwiwiっちは。いや、さすがっていうべきかな？でも、確かに面白くなくても、勉強になれば読むのにいい本となるよね？黒死館殺人事件という本は知らないんだけど、ぜひ読むのを頑張ってみたまえ！７０ページでも２００ページでも、やっちまえなさい！

あと、本の話になったから、俺からもう報告みたいなもんがあるんだよ～。去年日本語で本を読み始めたって言ったよね？まー、それは完全に噓となったことをともかく、やっと日本語で読み始めた！始めたと言っても、難しくない本しか読んでいない、あと、フリガナつきで読んでる。でも、どんどん読むのが早くなっていて、読む経験がもっと楽しくなっている！いつか読むのに上手くなったら、kiwiwiっちのおすすめを読んでみる！JDCとか、舞襄王多呂の作品とか、そういうもん。あと、最近気づいたことだけど、舞襄王多呂の作品の一作読んだことがある、漫画だけどね。「この恋はこれ以上綺麗にならない」って漫画。気に入らなかったんだけど、ほかの作品を読むのを楽しみにしている。

Agora to aguardando um ok final, mas fiquei no top 4 do estado, tenho uma boa, boa chance de me mudar pro japao ano q vem. Legal, né. Se der certo vou sair espalhando, avisarei.

cacilda, top 4 do estado? que foda, não ironicamente muito bem maninho. com essa colocação, eu to crendo que vai dar certo. torcendo por te, mano! espero que no próximo ano vc já esteja na terra do sol nascente fazendo… seja lá o que um estrangeiro morando no japão faz(assim, além de estudar, é claro).

e kkk, tu n sabe o quao feliz me faz ler isso aí, ter compartilhado essa experiencia a mais gente. fazendo essa tradução, tendo lido sei lá quantas vezes cada uma dessas frases, mesmo hj, ainda ria.

pior que realmente deve ser bem daora. dito isso, continuarei rindo toda vez que eu ouvir essa música 👍

Now with Tsukihi Undo you can rewatch every arc and everytime Tsukihi shows up you'll start thinking if she is the cataclysm to those events, paying attention to who she talks to, if anything bad will happen to them. We're now under Nisio's spell and everything will feel like foreshadowing. It's so cool.

lascou-se, já to imaginando, daqui a 5 anos eu revendo Nise todo paranoico procurando indícios que a Tsukihi só piorou a situação por estar lá. isso é parte da arte de monogatari, tudo em retrospectiva muda, devido a sua falta de linearidade na narrativa. Algum dia eu releio monogatari inteiro em japonês pra pegar tudo bonito, e provavelmente ter dores de cabeça tentando entender o que o Nisio ta falando.

I think it's Araki's influence on Nisio, but there's always explanations as to way kaii-related things keep happening to the characters and the city. Recognizing the existence of kaii s once makes it so you're more likely to come into contact with them again, there was something with Shinobu falling there, a vaccum forming in kitashirahebijinja, the lake where the park used to be, and now all of that could've been because of the hinodori living there. It's so cool how it keeps building upon itself, expanding its worldview, the rules to its universe (think the black hole) -- of course rewatching it makes it better, you think differently about that world depending on how far you've gotten into it. And I can't wait for that to keep happening. Shinobu just got a backstory which recontextualizes some things. It's great.

oh, araki influenced Nisio… ok, that makes sense, why did i never think about it? but, indeed, it’s all very cohesive. honestly, we didn’t even need those explanations, since people usually brush those things off as just being how the story works, but i find it endearing that Nisio goes out of his way to try and contextualize stuff better.

kkk, e como será q vc sabia q eu mandarei uma mensagem em novembro? o problema é q agora eu vou evitar mandar mensagem em outubro, pq vai q vc n responde a tempo, sabe, aí o timing vai zureteiru. Uma por mes é bom, de repente, pareceu mais tempo mas essa aqui foi quase exatamente um mês. Mas foi coincidencia! Daqui a pouco esqueço disso aí de novembro tambem, mas sinto q coincidentemente vai acontecer mesmo assim k.

piadas a parte, foi só o chute mais cômico que eu pude dar considerando que eu literalmente demorei uns 2-3 meses pra responder. se bem que, talvez eu acabe acertando, mesmo que em um sentido diferente do que eu imaginava. se eu realmente mandar essa mensagem aqui em outubro ainda, tem a chance de tu realmente responder em novembro, como vc já citou, aí eu acabei usando a fórmula errada pra chegar na resposta certa. acho o ritmo de uma por mês bom tbm, dá tempo o bastante pra acumular assunto. acho legal tbm o sentimento de estar trocando cartas virtualmente, apesar de eu nunca ter escrito uma carta pra saber se realmente é assim.

Eu já quebrei umas tres vezes com aquela frase do prólogo, "diferença radical entre este livro e o pentateuco", como se além disso fossem livros bem parecidos. É uma comédia muito moderna, e me fez parecer que eu me daria mt bem vivendo essa vida de almoços abertos, arranjar casamentos, virar vereador, enriquecer e falir. Devo ler tudo do Machado em algum momento, li só 3 livros agora, esse o último deles, começo desse ano.

de fato, parece um tipo de vida bem interessante. dito isso, Deus mim dibre, passo longe kkkkkkkkkkk. O que mais me pega na vida do brás cubas até agora é o quanto ele, apesar de não ser absurdamente competente, consegue seguir nesse caminho devido à majoritariamente a família dele. Até voltei a ler recentemente, mas tô indo lento pra não forçar demais. Também quero ler mais livros do machado e de outros autores brasileiros, já que parecem obras muito bem pensadas. talvez até minha próxima mensagem eu acabe brás cubas, talvez não, veremos. depende muito de como o pós ITA for.

おう、うちにだって、Beatlesにはまったころはありましたよ。今そういう普通のロックはあんまきっとらんが、友達に「はっぴえんど」を紹介してくる、彼にならいい情報かも。

you shouldn’t have said that…
えええええええっとおおお。まず、友達がはっぴいえんどを気に入れば嬉しい。友達の音楽の好みわからないけど、はっぴいえんどってとてもいいと思う。じゃー、ええええっ。ほんの少ーーーーーーーーーーーーーしだけBeatlesの話をさせていただくと思います:D。最初の六つのアルバムはあんまり話すことがないね。あの頃の普通の音楽だけだし。悪くもよくもないと思う。Revolverからもう上手くなってきたともう。でも、八つのアルバムから、Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Bandから、本当に傑作ばっかりと思う。確かにPepper'sは変のアルバムで最初に聞いた時何が聞いたか全然わからなかった。でも、どんどん聞き直してどんどん気に入るようになった。コンセプトが単純だけどやり方がとてもユニークだと思った。White Albumも変なんだけど、Pepper'sほどではない。まー、「Revolution 9」みたいな曲があるけどアルバムのほとんどがただのいい曲であふれている。一番好きなのは多分Harissonの「While my guitar gently weeps」だった。有痛の一部があって、でも賑やかな一部もあって、とてもすてきな曲と思う。Let It Beは普通にいい、あまり強い意見がない。でも、Abbey Roadは。。。完璧過ぎる。その意見が普通過ぎていても、Abbey RoadはBeatlesのアルバムの中では一番好き。曲の全部が傑作でただ聞き足りないんだ。Medleyは特に傑作としか言えない。まるで別れの手紙のように書いた曲で聞いて聞いて聞き足りないって感じさせた。本当にBeatlesをきくのはいい経験だった。いまpink floydを聞き始めた。kiwiwiっちもpink floydが好みだったら、また次のメッセージでこのようなパラグラフを書く。Aliás, acho que vale a pena citar que eu vou pro show do Paul McCartney em São Paulo. já ia ser no período entre as provas de primeira e segunda fase que eu não ia estudar tanto, aí eu combinei com minha família de ir. animado pro show. próxima mensagem eu falo como foi.

個人的に、今一番好きなバンドは「ゲスの極み乙女」。それとはまったく違うが、いつかはあの、「踊れないなら、ゲスになってしまえよ」というアルバムをきいてみたまえ。超名作です。そのほかにも良い歌もたくさんあります。

30分待って下さる～？お待たせしました、30分もたったよね〜。早い30分だったよね、特にkiwiwiっちにとって数秒みたいな30分だったんだな～。冗談はともかく、面白いアルバムだよね。一回しか聞いていないから、歌詞の意味とかの話をするのを遠慮する。でも、聞くのにいいアルバムと思った。音楽中でメロディーがいきなり変わるのが特に気に入る。J-POPを聞いた時からずっとメロディーを変わるのをいいと思ったから、そのアルバムにもそれあって気に入った。一番好きな音楽はたぶん「キラーボール」で、一番頭に残ったのは「いこかなでしこ」だった。「いこかなでしこ」って、何かのカルトに作られたみたいな音楽で、とにかく興味深いとしか言えない。おそらくジムで筋肉トレをしつつそのアルバムをもう数回聞くようにすると思う。alias, só como um extra, o canto que eu ouvi o album aparentemente não sabe escrever romaji

literalmente erraram o gesu na sankaku kankei, o sureddo dansu e o jajaumasan. nem afeta em nada, só achei engraçado mesmo.
...私の中のなでしこさん私の中のなでしこさん私はすでになでしこさんあなたとは違うなでしこさん
ほんまんに頭に残るんやね

And alright, about Okitegami, I got a lot of good news for you. The first one is, though there will be a lot of narrators, Kakushidate will be back eventually, though I don't know how often. Both manga and live-action adaptations only have him as the protagonist, rewriting later arcs to fit him, so those might interest you as well (I hate the manga, but the live-action is pretty creative in its directing, has a lot of original content, it's probably pretty good) -- and it means the creators agree with you on v2 (though I personally loved the mysteries and didn't mind the change at all). Now, v3, which is the only other one I've read, still doesn't have Kakushidate back. However, the mystery writing is absolutely phenomenal. Peak Nisio. So feel free to take a break, and all volumes are standalone, so you can even just skip to the Kakushidate volumes if you ever feel like it, but do give v3 a try (though only the first chapters has a good translation). Even if only eventually. It's a very good novel.

oh, ok, that’s great. in the case of volume 2, i’ll try and finish it until the end of the year, but it depends on my own will to read the volume. and, to be even more honest, i’d be more willing to read the rest in japanese. since i’m answering this out of order, idk if i mentioned this in the message yet, but i have been reading some books in japanese(although, since i’m still learning kanji, i used furiganalyse to make the reading process easier). and i feel like eventually this will pay off on me reading books in japanese and i’ll be able to read Okitegami as God intended. i myself don’t intend on skipping any volume and will indeed read at my own pace, without feeling obliged to continue due to any circumstance. i know that some volume has in the cover Okitegami on a wedding dress with Kakushidate being the spouse, and i’m quite a bit curious to see where that leads, at least. i’ll also trust you when you say V3 has a good mystery, although i’ll still take a while to read that.

I started playing Omori just one of these days, but I don't love it just yet, especially because of the gameplay. I'll give it another try eventually, though, and I'll be weighing in you recommendation, considering how similar our tastes are for videogames.

yeah, i don’t judge you on disliking the gameplay, lol. i myself only liked the game as much as i did due to the story execution, the gameplay was only bearable, and got very annoying by the end where i really only wanted to see where the story would go. play it whenever you feel like, of course. hope you enjoy the story being told. gameplay you can dislike as much as you feel like, hehe.

Episode 8 was also the one that did it for me, with Gurren Lagann. I didn't like the third arc a whole lot, but that second arc is a masterpiece, few things I was ever so invested in. Gainax and Trigger have produced a lot of my favorite anime, I've watched most of all their anime, Karekano is there on my favs, Kill la Kill is really close and I haven't even finished it. Shouldn't be a surprise at all! they're so good!

indeed, the Gainax/Trigger style of shows is just so unique i can’t help but appreciate them. i intend on watching karekano eventually. whenever I do, i’ll tell you what i thought about it, but for now, there are still some Trigger anime i have to watch. i never finished little witch academia(even though that’s mostly due to the fact i wasn’t enjoying it) and i gotta watch bna someday. and, whenever you finish kill la kill, also tell me your thoughts on that, i’d love to read it!

Gainax (Gurren studio) went bankrupt and most of the staff went to Trigger (founded by them), but Gurren's rights are with Trigger now I believe. Right, Uchuu Patrol Luluco is also by them, and it's a good contender for the 10th spot in my favorites anime list, though I need to rewatch it to make sure. Back when I watched it, though, it was a 10/10 to me. Do watch it one day. Gridman season 1 was pretty good as well, Kiznaiver used to be one of my favorites (though I didn't like a whole lot rewatching it), there's Eva, Cyberpunk, Medaka Box I guess (though the director follows Shaft's style for the best episode(s), actually, and there was very little OG Gainax staff left).

God, that’s a lot of shows, lol. Gainax really made lots of classics, right? i haven’t watched even half of the shows you mentioned there, but i feel like the mere fact i recognize all of them say a lot about the impact they had. again, i’ll prob watch them eventually(and in the case of eva in specific, rewatch it, since watching eva in 2018, when i was, like, 13 or 14, didn’t do wonders for my experience), and when i do, i’ll write a few paragraphs telling you what i thought about them, as per usual, lol.

I've discussed P3 with a lot of people, and I'm sure I'd like it, but I think I'm good with the series for now, and I would first play Portable rather than the Remake. I even like the movies! especiallly movie 1. But yeah, wait too long for something I'm not liking as much as P4, if I do play it'll be at a different time in my life.

se serve de base, as únicas 2 pessoas que eu conheço que jogaram p3p amaram o jogo, e uma delas nem é super fã da franquia. independentemente, jogue quando quiser, claro. acho importante à experiência um não se sentir forçado a fazer aquilo. quando eventualmente jogares, seja em 1 ou 5 anos, lerei tudo que terás a falar sobre o jogo!

Concordo com tudo sobre HK, mas eu vi os videos do mossbag sobre a lore e ela é mt bem construída, só me fez gostar mais do jogo. Pantheon 5 me foi tipo uma semana inteira de grind, mas poucas coisas se compararam a tê-lo conseguido... é bem legal. E enquanto as outras challenges do jogo vc tem como estar menos ou mais preparado, os Pantheons são feitos pra vc estar o mais preparado possivel, e ainda assim são impossiveis -- é uma dificuldade fixa, o que eu gosto bastante, apesar de que eu sempre estava com o progresso no nivel certinho na primeira gameplay (com a ideologia de matar todo boss assim q o encontrasse, sem desviar pra pegar mais charms, pale ores). Amo o jogo, preciso imediatamente de Silksong faz 5 anos.

não tenho muito mais o q adicionar a discussão de HK, mas jesus, Silksong é necessário a meus vícios tem anos, estou em crise de abstinência e eu nunca nem joguei o jogo. acuda-me, cherry team!

Já vi gameplay de levels extras, mas eu n costumo ir mt fundo em fan-content pra nada, seria overwhelming com todas as franquias que eu amo. Mas um dia me imagino jogando algum dos mais faceis sim.

não julgo, kaka. de fato, fan content é algo que demanda bem mais tempo do que normalmente vale a pena gastar em um jogo. mas, sei lá, particularmente eu curto bastante explorar fan content pra melhorar em um jogo que eu gosto. Apesar de eu não me orgulhar muito disso, eu era viciado em jogos como geometry dash e osu exatamente por essa razão, esses jogos são um poço de conteúdo infinito com um skill-ceiling progressivamente maior, e eu gosto de seguir essa progressão. hoje eu tenho menos tempo, então eu meio q parei de jogar esses jogos, mas o celeste se manteve.
só pelo assunto mesmo, uns replays de celeste que eu tenho salvo aqui, com time-stamps para quando eu completo cada sala:

final room: 1:48:38
sinta-se livre pra só não ver os replays, eu só queria compartilhar com outro jogador de celeste, já que a maioria das pessoas que eu conheço ou não jogaram ou só não veriam.

Reminder that the team's next game is a metroidvania already deep into development, though graphically I thought it pretty disapointing. Just kind of a weird, greenish palette. But there's a good chance it'll be great, no reason it shouldn't be the next celeste.

wait wait wait, how did i not know that?! ok, went to watch the trailer to form any type of opinion, and… looks rather promising. graphically, although i do prefer celeste’s art direction, i really didn’t mind the greenish vibe it had, and it seems hella fun. kinda excited for when it releases(according to the trailer, 2024, but Silksong and N1RV Ann-A have taught me not to trust release dates from indie developers). i’ll definitely play it, and hopefully enjoy whatever is in the game

And hey! I wouldn't ever read the Monogatari novels past the point of the anime! As much as I can I try for my first experience of a story to be with the best version of it, and I've always trusted the staff more than enough to want to wait for an anime -- it can take 10, 20 more years and I won't read the end of it for as long as there's a chance of them getting there. So, with that out the way, knowing we're on the exact same page…

he’s based! although, tbf, i was intending on reading off season before watching the anime, but changed my mind halfway due to how much i’d have to read to do that and because, like you, i came to the conclusion watching the anime first would be way more worth it. we all know shaft will adapt all of monogatari, so might as well wait a bit to get peak monogatari content in the classic shaft style. although i do wish some other nisio series got the attention of the producers, but that’s for another time.

Now NadeDraw is just a masterpiece. Easily one of the best so far, i.e. one of my favorite stories ever. I can't wait to see even more of Nadeko, and of Sodachi, and of Ononoki. It feels a lot, to Nadeko, like what Zoku Owarimonogatari was to Koyomi. Just this very literal metaphor of their progress so far, plus plot twists and incredible art design and directing and animation. Fights felt well-earned to me, just cause there was a lot of strategy involved, right? I see no point in pretending a character we know won't fail is in any danger, kind of the way One Piece handles it. Perfect arc to me.

yes! the metaphor aspect is the part of the arc i most liked as well, the direct comparison between now-nadeko and the other nadekos, especially the og one. about the fights, well, they did feel smart in their execution, that’s for sure. the plans nadeko made were actually very smart and made the pay-off at the end where gaen actually wanted nadeko’s help feel earned. but, idk… i can’t exactly pinpoint what, but there is just something about the execution of the fights that left me wanting something. it’s not even about it being “too easy” in this context, since they most definitely weren’t. i can’t really express it that well, it’s just a very subjective feeling, i suppose, nothing that diminishes from the tale, just a little itch.

Shinobu's arc was the first confirmed Akiyuki Shinbou anime in 14 years, and incredible for that, but the story is again an epilogue for something else, and I hate backstories as a rule, this is an exception, but still far from my cup of tea. But I'm absolutely sure I'll appreciate it more the more we see of Shinobu and Suicide. Had her vessel been any likeable I think that would've helped as well... but anyways, next arc is the last one? maybe? Should be great, as the first Monster Season adaptation.

i really enjoyed the backstory as well. similarly to you, i tend to not really feel like backstories are the most fun thing ever, with few exception, but, also like you, i really enjoyed acerola’s backstory. i have not began watching shinobu mustard yet, i decided to only watch it after all my tests are over, but i’m sure that the relationship between Suicide and Shinobu will be beautifully handled by Nisio, as usual. and, well, if it’s the last on for now, i’m glad. this would give them time to do a similar thing they did in this first part of the season again, do an original order that makes each arc complement each other.
i feel like this is worth mentioning, but i really enjoy how they drew connections between each and every arc. tsukihi undo is connected to nadeko draw and acerola bon apettit is connected to shinobu mustard, of course, but even nadeko draw and acerola bon apettit were choosen in this order for a reason, i feel like, since shinobu was on the last episode of nadeko draw. it’s just very cohesive, and i very much enjoy it.

Good luck to all the people who try to follow this with the novel order, so far they could've watched --- zero... episodes.

oh, let them burn. i can understand wanting to be a purist when it comes to release order, but if you truly are willing to go as far as to wait years for the adaptations to finally adapt the episodes of the first novel thingy, burn in peace knowing you have a weirdly strong will.

最近はただ本を日本語で読んで、アニメを時々見て、bolsaの結果を待つだけ。黒死終わったら次はたぶん、氷菓５か、最強４、そのどちらかを読む。Eu queria ter lido 24 livros em japones esse ano, por enquanto to em 11, ent faltam 13... To cheio de ideias, reporto meu progresso depois. Na verdade Saikyou 4 to na metade já, Kokushikan será o decimo segundo. Mas tem coisa do Nasu, do Kadono, do Seiryouin que quero ler... E preciso terminar JDC, agora que o segundo livro é meu não-Nisio favorito, e tenho físico os spin-offs q foi o Nisio que escreveu.

EU CONFIO, LEIA OS 24 LIVROS. pior que, agora que tu tem mais tempo, parece bem fazível. tu lendo 100 páginas por dia, que nem é o normal pra vc, tu com certeza consegue ler essa quantidade, ou até mais, até o fim do ano.
Do meu lado, eu comentei na mensagem que eu comecei a ler uns livros em japonês tbm, né? particularmente, se eu conseguir acabar um volume em japonês até o fim ano eu fico bem feliz, já que eu não tenho o mesmo costume de leitura que você. acabei pegando pra reler zaregoto(eu tava lendo outras coisas antes, mas particulamente não eram tão interessantes). não entender tudo não afeta muito minha experiência, já que eu já li, então isso ajuda(além de que eu fico curioso pra saber como eu iria reagir a eventos passados com contexto futuro). e tbm eu to lendo o mangá de Ouran, já que não é uma linguagem tão difícil, e a história é bem legalzinha de se acompanhar. tbm comecei a estudar mais kanji. tu deve conhecer, mas eu to usando o wanikani pra ajudar. todo kanji novo que aparece eu já pego meu caderninho e aprendo os traços pra decorar melhor(apesar que, de novo, já que a prova do ITA ta do lado, eu dei uma parada pra focar nos estudos de exatas e redação. passei na primeira fase do IME e a primeira fase do ITA é literalmente domingo. deseje-me uma boa prova). to achando bem legal estudar mais japonês, creio que entendas o sentimento, realmente é uma língua cheia de charme e nuance, eu tô é animado pro ciclo de vestibular acabar pra eu poder focar mais nisso kkkkkk.

ok, acho que respondi quase tudo tbm? e eu to mandando a mensagem um pouco antes de um mês ainda, hehehe. eu ia mandar a mensagem um pouco mais cedo, mas Ouran ocorreu e todo o meu pouco tempo livre começou a ser dedicado a essa obra. teve um dia que, logo depois que eu acabei de estudar, eu passei 3 horas vendo Ouran, o que não me fez muito bem no quesito horário de sono, além de ter me dado uma puta dor de cabeça, mas deu certo.
alias, vou estender essa pergunta, já que tá no contexto de leitura em japonês, tu também tinha dor de cabeça quando tu começou a ler em japonês? talvez seja a falta de costume, mas quando eu passo muito tempo lendo algo em japonês, seja Ouran ou Zaregoto, eu fico com uma puta dor de cabeça, talvez pelo cansaço de estar lendo algo que eu não estou acostumado a ler. tu também teve uma experiência assim? fiquei curioso
de mais, vou relaxar aqui pra ir pra prova domingo no meu máximo. provável que na próxima mensagem que eu mande eu já saiba se eu passei ou não, então eu te aviso. também avises caso tenha passado. se tudo der certo, próximo ano tá tu no Japão e eu em São Paulo.

enfim, vou de vazas aqui.

pera, antes que eu me esqueca

n tinha um jeito de falar tchau em japones q era tipo, "aadayou". Imagina essa palavra e é essa essa frase final.

creio que existe, e, igualmente, aadayou
(na real, agora eu não to lembrado se é aadayou ou aabayou, eu só sei que o nendou de saiki fala isso o tempo todo, e já que eu revi saiki recentemente, tá na minha cabeça o termo).
ok, segundo o Wikipedia, é あばよ. serve

あばよ

Bom dia.
até a próxima mensagem.

Scoot0809 Aug 10, 12:01 PM

Quê? Já faz 1 mês e meio q vc mandou mensagem e eu ainda n respondi? Mesmo que teve aquele dia que eu ia responder, e aquele outro dia que eu tava pra responder, e aquele outro outro dia que eu comecei a responder, e aqueles vários outros dias que eu pensei em responder e não o fiz? Um mês e meio?

hehehe... nao foi so voce :D digamos que eu tava com tanta ideia do que escrever nessa mensagem que eu acabei nao escrevendo nada ate hoje... eu digo isso, mas da forma que eu vou escrever esse negocio, eu nem vou escrever tudo hoje em si. 本当にお久しぶりですね。メッセージを始める前に一言いうんだけど、本当にメッセージの全部を読まなくてもいいし、全部読みたくたって一気に読まなくてもいいし、答たえたいことだけを答えてもいい。このメッセージを書くだけで面白いので、本当にいいよ。

まー、言い訳とかなら沢山あるし、なんか今プロジェクト多すぎて、そして人間関係も急に複雑なり、不安が溜まって、なんも出来なかった時間さえあったけど、今は勉強に努めて、少しずつ事は落ち着ている。メッセージを答える時間をつくるぐらい、暇な時間はある。アートに関係することは最近あんましてなかったけど......

いや、大丈夫、俺だってそうなので。遅く答えてもいいと思うよ（笑）。最後に答えが出ていたら全部オーケー。じゃー、メッセージはこれから始まる

mas to me dedicando muito ao cálculo I agora com 1 mês pra aprender. Tá na verdade é me lembrando do quanto eu gosto de matemática, muitas saudades de ver umas coisas dessas, acho q entenderás meu sentimento.

pior que calculo 1 eh uma matéria bem legal. se eu me lembro corretamente, cálculo 1 envolve conceitos de limite, o básico de derivada e o básico de integral, ne? esses conceitos iniciais são bem divertidos de serem aprendidos, e mais divertidos ainda de serem aplicados em contextos absurdos, hehe. Adoro pegar uma questão besta de calcular área de gráfico e colocar uma integral só pra rir enquanto eu faço a questão. e, realmente, tem muito de legal para se retirar da matemática. acho que tu deve conhecer, mas um canal bom de matematica pra ver só pra passar o tempo eh o 3blue1brown, ele tem uns videos com umas ideias absurdas mas muito interessante. recomendo caso não conheça.

Yeah, I guess Adachi was sort of unexplored, and I even think Chie and Yukiko, my favorite characters, weren't explored enough, but that incompleteness to me is kind of part of the P4 experience. We don't get a backstory for Adachi, right? We never reallyyyy understand him. I didn't feel like I did, at the very least, but I'm completely fine with that. And those characters are just teenagers, comprehending him was never really their goal.

i can understand this feeling. most of what people talk well about P4(apart from the enormous amount of mythology references) is how the games feels like you are just with your group of friends having fun, and indeed, in a context like that, why would i care about the reason behind his murders? if that's how one sees the game, then that's fine, not something judgeable at all, i'd just prefer otherwise, lol. it's really a case of how one sees the game and interprets it, which is subjective, so it's all ok.

And it's a real shame Yosuke ended up sounding homophobic, a lot of people are deeply bothered by that, I could glance past it, but it was annoying, of course.

i find it even more of a shame knowing the cut content of a yosuke romance route. it would have made so much more sense for him to act like that as a way to deny his own feelings. i think i mentioned this in my last message as well, can't be bothered to check, but i do find the way he acts understandable due to the time and place the story was written in, with japan being a very homophobic country at the time and all. i may not like it, but i can see why it would be the way it is, just find it a shame, really.

Eu costumava colocar Zaregoto, Umineko e Danganronpa lado a lado sempre que eu falava dos grandes mistérios de assassinato, agora que li 9 (ou melhor, 19) volumes extras de Zaregoto é meio inevitável colocá-lo acima, mas Umi e Danganronpa são geniais, agora Conan e JDC fortes contenders. Demore 2 anos, mas jogue/leia.

pior que, estranhamente, um amigo meu comprou danganronpa pra mim kkkkkkkk. talvez eu jogue esse ano ainda, quando acabar o ciclo de vestibulares. umineko eu pretendo ler o mangá, sempre tem uma pessoa ou outra me falando sobre. algum dia eu hypo e acabo pegando, que nem sempre ocorre com qualquer obra que eu consumo no geral.

Sobre Nisio e matemática, bomm, em Monogatari tem lá os arcos da Sodachi q é um elemento mais presente, mas é mais em Ningen que lembro de uns exemplos bem claros, decerto vc vai se deparar com eles conforme for navegando sua obra.

faz sentido pq eu nao lembro, então. dito isso, compreendido capitão, manterei em mente a parte do arco da sodachi e do ningen

Ahaha, será q eu comentei q me demorou uma semana por season de monogatari? Pra mim 300 páginas por dia eu me sinto bem, assim, mínimo 100 pra ser um dia produtivo.

なんか羨ましいな～。俺だったら50ページ読んだら大成功。まー、時々本当に何かを読みたかったら一日で100、200ページぐらい読めるけど、それは決して普通じゃない。でも、kiwiwiっちが一日だけでそれほどのページを読めるとは本当に素晴らしいと思う。

A ideia é que me paguem pra ficar 5 anos lá, dando tudo certo.

isso seria 10. desejo-lhe boa sorte nisso. aparentas estar estudando bastante para esse objetivo, creio que esse fator é o mais importante. bons estudos nesse quesito!

Quer dizer, tipooo teve essa tradução q eu escrevi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU6UHmluevU de uma história música mt divertida. Tem pouca gente pra quem pude mandar isso, acho q vale a pena k.

eu te juro. nesse ponto, faz mais de 3 meses que eu ouvi essa música pela primeira vez, MAS ISSO EH HILARIO KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
. foram 8 minutos muito bem gastos, eu diria. ouviria de novo e ouvirei de novo, realmente é uma música cômica.

As always, there's so much to appreciate in every arc of Monogatari -- there has yet to be a single one I didn't like better on a rewatch

acho isso realmente impressionante em monogatari, principalmente nos arcos mais adiante. como a historia eh nao linear, acho muito interessante ver como eventos passados podem ser reinterpretados com uma contextualização que só vem depois. talvez eu tenha comentado disso quando eu falei do bake pela primeira vez com vc, mas a cena final da shinobu salvando o araragi tem um peso realmente maior depois de assistir/ler o kizu. e tbm, ja sabendo a historia, eh mais facil notar os pequenos detalhes de narrativa que eh facil de deixar passar na primeira vez por ter uma história absurdamente maior sendo contada. gosto disso, obras com um grande rewatch value tem um espaço especial no meu coração.

Hah, and as I find the ecchi to be tons of fun, having a blast every time I go through the tooth brush scene (which is a full episode in the anime, pretty much, which I rewatched recently), there's really very little for me not to love in Nise, though I think the stories for both arcs aren't as good as many others. Nise is essential to Monogatari because it gives you the option of not believing. Kaiki's worldview is fascinating to me, as is the logic behind the aparitions. The arc is about nothing. There was no magic bee which gives people a fever. She thought she was given a fever, so she fell ill. It's common in Japan to believe that a cold can be transfered via a kiss, so that worked. It's all fake, except of course it's not fake!, that's the premise of the show, this is your third book and the third one was most definitely not fake at all, and yet his logic is weirdly convincing. Because he has seen way more than you have, and it doesn't stop him from thinking that way -- and either way, if he can get some money from it, what does it matter if those things are fake or not. Right, right, and there's all that talk about the fake being more valuable than the real, ripped straight out of Zaregoto. It's pure metaphysics, semiotics, it's deep, and it's essential, and it's great, along with all the character-related things.

i was actually having a discussion about this with a friend recently, about how nise’s main theme becomes actually relevant throughout the story moving forward. now that i read neko shiro especially, and the whole point of hanekawa being a fake playing a huge part into it, i came to appreciate nise even more than i used to. but there is also kaiki’s tale in koi, which is probably full of bullshit in the middle, so much so that… well… he didn’t actually die. i probably need to read more to get a full impression, since my memory on later arcs is rather fussy, but i do get your point on the fake thing, and i appreciate nisio’s way with dealing with that.

Your sister is a fake! A bird killed your real sister before she was born, and it's gonna keep doing that for all of eternity lest we put a stop to it. Let us kill her! She's not real anyways. You'll suffer, but then no one else ever will.

kinda going back to the “upon rewatch you appreciate stuff more” thingy. i find the tsukihi plot even more interesting now that i have watched tsukihi undo in the anime. the whole “being near tsukihi makes you unlucky” plot was very interesting to me. i still don’t have any real conclusion taken from that, since idk where Nisio wants to lead me with that plot, and it’s still a very recent arc in the anime, but i’m interested in seeing how that eventually pays off.

i’ll skip the rest of the monogatari stuff since i feel like i commented most of what i think of the arcs last message, though i’ll touch more on nekoshiro later this message.

espero que não se deixe afetar por estar sendo obrigado a lê-lo.

…eeeeeeeh…afetou…
tipo, eu tava amando ler, mas o mero fato que me parecia uma obrigação me deu uma preguiça e eu parei de ler tem uns meses já. até tô tentando voltar a ler esses dias. prova de portugues vai ocorrer daqui uns 3 meses, então dá pra ler uns livros nesse meio tempo ainda, mas eh triste como o mero fato que parece uma obrigação e não um lazer afeta a experiência negativamente. talvez em fevereiro de 2025, quando eu responder sua mensagem de novembro, eu dê a notícia que eu finalmente consegui acabar o livro :D

dito isso…

Se quiser discutir fora da visão que os vestibulares lhe obrigam, pode me usar.

EU NÃO ACABEI O LIVRO, MAS EU TENHO O QUE COMENTAR DE OPINIÕES MOMENT NEAS, AAAAAAAH.
tipo, eu ja sei mais ou menos o plot de bras cubas inteiro desde 2019, já que foi paradidático meu no nono ano… o que eu acho ridiculo, pq um pivete de 14 anos nao tem a maturidade pra ler machado de assis, but i digress. eu particularmente amo o personagem do bras cubas. eu sabia que ele ia ser um personagem relativamente patético previamente, mas eu acho a forma que isso é demonstrado muito interessante. “Marcela amou-me durante quinze meses e onze contos de réis”, apesar de ser uma das frases mais famosas do livro, e eu conhecê-la previamente, demonstra bem o sentimento que eu tenho de como ele eh patetico, ou talvez humano seja uma descrição melhor. também, a forma que o machado descreve as coisas no livro, apesar de por vezes ser difícil de compreender, é bastante cômica de um modo irônico. não vou lembrar de tantas passagens específicas agora, mas eu tenho ao menos essa salva que eu ri um pouco

enfim, eventualmente eu acabo o livro. nao ironicamente tava gostando, só deu preguiça mesmo.

E por favor continue mandando mensagens extremamente longas, kkk

Bem, já que assim queres…

o motivo que eu demorei tanto pra mandar essa mensagem está incluído inteiramente nessa parte aqui. como eu disse no início, já que, que nem você, eu não particularmente tenho tanto tempo para escrever mensagens, eu decidi pegar uns tópicos avulsos que dá pra escrever sobre rapido e escrever essa mensagem em dias distintos, o que leva a procrastinação da minha parte :D

Sinta-se livre para ignorar assuntos que você não se interessa, já que eu to meio que jogando assunto no ar pra ver se algo pega.

ok, ok. eu tenho bastante pra falar sobre esse jogo. entao vamos por partes.

primeiro, eu comentei isso contigo na mensagem anterior, mas eu tinha visto o “jogo inteiro” na live do cellbit quando ele tinha lançado. porém, eis o plot twist, EU NAO TINHA VISTO O QUE ACONTECIA DEPOIS DE VC ZERAR O JOGO PELA PRIMEIRA VEZ, ENTÃO EU TIVE UMA EXPERIÊNCIA 100% BLIND DA SEGUNDA METADE DO JOGO.

também, eu mal lembrava do jogo, já que eu vi essa live há mais de 6 anos.

contexto dado, agora… meu bom Jesus, os puzzles desse jogo são muito criativos. eu não faço nenhum exagero ao dizer que eu estava em choque pela criatividade dos puzzles dados nesse jogo. teve vários momentos que eu tive que realmente pensar no que fazer e onde os arquivos estariam no meu pc. o puzzle do código na primeira área me deixou meia hora procurando uma solução, até que eu vi a dica e notei que eu teria que realmente procurar o arquivo no meu computador nos documentos. e isso se estende ao jogo todo. tem aquele puzzle que pede pra vc literalmente fechar a aba para continuar o jogo, e eu acho isso genial. não teve um momento do jogo que eu não estava engajado com os puzzles, o mundo, os personagens ou a história.

dentre os personagens principais da trama, meu favorito com certeza eh o niko e a máquina do mundo. não desgosto de nenhum em particular, mas eu gosto MUITO da complexidade do niko e da máquina. o niko é só um pivete que foi forçado em uma situação absurda contra a vontade dele, uma que nao tem final feliz ainda. na jornada, vendo o mundo sendo cada vez mais destruído enquanto tentamos chegar na torre dá um ar de perdição a jornada, e já que nós como jogadores somos um personagem da trama, os eventos do jogo ficam ainda mais pessoais do que normalmente seriam. mas ainda mais interessante é como eles se utilizam do fato que o jogador faz parte do mundo para, estranhamente, dar uma segunda chance para o niko salvar esse mundo, e essa parte da história me chocou bastante.

particularmente, acho a segunda metade do jogo menos criativa que a primeira, ou ao menos não do mesmo nível. não quer dizer que ela não seja épica, mas a história sendo contada nela não me deixou com o mesmo ânimo ou a mesma curiosidade que a primeira. mas, acho ela merecida e necessária para a história, e a melhor parte do jogo, que eh o encontro com a máquina do mundo, está nessa parte, então tá tudo perdoado!

adoro como a máquina do mundo foi sendo “tamed” com o decorrer da história, pelas interações com nós, o jogador, e isso é demonstrado nas interações finais com ela, que tem um sentimento muito distinto das iniciais. a interação do niko com a máquina no final tbm eh espetacular.

esse jogo nao ironicamente tem o melhor uso de metalinguística que eu vi em um jogo desde undertale, e se a comparação é undertale, outra obra prima na utilização de metalinguística, vc sabe que o jogo se destacou.

o jogo eh 10 fácil pra mim. amo esse tipo de jogo, e acho q dá pra perceber dos meus favoritos kkkkkkk.

entendo pq adorastes o jogo agora, realmente valeu a pena jogar. creio que meus amigos devem ter se irritado de tanto que eu ficava gritando em ânimo resolvendo os puzzles em call kkkkkk, mas acontece.

ok, so, uuuuuuh… idk if i have a lot to say about this or not, but i sure have some things to say about this

i’ll start with the good, volume 1. the first volume of okitegami is, non-ironically, spetacular

when i first began the series, although i was excited to see a new nisio work, i had my doubts on how the series would go when the main character doesn’t remember anything. usually a series needs, you know, development to work, and a character like okitegami, that never changes no matter what you do, doesn’t really serve that purpose, so i was a bit worried. but, at least on volume 1, those worries were answered well.

ok, going into the volume itself, the first thing i noticed is that the main narrator was actually someone else, that being kakushidate, and upon reading the volume, i noticed more how the story would seem to work. despite okitegami never changing, we have another main character that is there to change alongside the story so that we can feel the progression, and i loved how his character was done in the novel. i’m not gonna lie, i was more interested in kakushidate’s character than okitegami herself, even though i very much enjoyed how the mystery of her memory loss was laid out for us. we know something is going on, we have more or less an end goal for the series now, which i don’t feel like will be the main focus for a long time, but we have it. but i was down to seeing more stories focusing on those two, their dynamic as a duo was very fun, i loved reading kakushidate’s monologues and i really enjoyed okitegami’s personality. i have to say the mysteries weren’t the best i’ve seen, but they weren’t bad at all. simple, but satisfying. and i especially love the conclusion of the volume, it was very sweet seeing those last interaction between kakushidate and okitegami. so, all things considered, i was excited to read volume 2

that being said… NARRATOR CHANGE, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. i actually don’t normally have a problem with that, and i thought maybe it would allow for a different tale regarding okitegami, so i did go and try to read it, but, around the time i finished the second chapter out of three… i have to say, i was very disappointed. the mysteries this time were even worse than last time, the main character for this volume, the security guy thingy(whose name i can’t remember) is really not that interesting for me, and i was not invested in the plot being written at all. unlike last volume, this one has a more set plot line, with all the mysteries adding to one singular plot point, and i feel like that’s good, but i definitely did not enjoy the plot line. i may be saying all this, but exactly because i feel like that, i didn’t finish the volume, so perhaps i can like whatever is waiting for me in the end of it, but, for now at least, i can’t say i’m a fan.

i only hope kakushidate comes back and becomes the main staple of the series going forward. or at least a character more interesting than little security guard becomes the focus. like, seriously, this is extremely personal of me, but i find him just very bland, especially for a nisio work. we have kakushidate, an extremely unlucky guy who, due to his appearance, is constantly thought of as the culprit in various cases, but needed to grow out of his shell a bit to help okitegami, which is endearing. we have okitegami, a character with a charming personality and funny lines in general with a very interesting mystery surrounding her, which is, again, very interesting. and then we have this five nights at freddy’s security animatronic guard which is just a very serious guy who is having troubles with his job, no real personality trait, no big development and just nothing for me to care about him over any of the other characters, damn, the old painter man is more interesting than him. again, i haven’t finished the volume, so perhaps he does have a development, and even if not, i’m sure someone finds him endearing in his own way, which is completely fine. but yeah, this one was not for me. i’ll finish the volume eventually, i want to see where the story goes, but i’ll leave it hanging for now.

i strangely don’t have much to comment about nekoshiro, it’s just good.

i mean, as i stated, i love how nekoshiro expands on the theme nise brought to the series, and i love the feeling of family this arc has, so ig i do have some stuff to comment about.

going in order. hanekawa tsubasa is a fake, as described by the series. and the way this is treated for hanekawa’s character is very much of my liking. in hanekawa’s case, being a fake makes her more of the real deal than the real deal, but it also makes her stand the furthest away from the real deal. the real deal is flawed by nature, as it is human, but hanekawa hides her flaws behind a mask, and let’s all her suffering go to different entities, the apparitions she created from her heart. that does make her work better than the real deal in some cases, but makes her as fake as can get. and, of course, that’s the arc that actually addresses this.

i really love how the arc acknowledges this flaw of hanekawa as a person. monogatari does have a tendency of deconstructing character stereotypes. senjougahara, the tsundere, has a tangible reason for being one and, as times passes on, she let’s go of this personality trait. nadeko, the meek little shy girl, is obligated to get out of her shell, which makes all of her emotions explode, although she does eventually overcomes it all. and it’s the same with hanekawa: the perfect class president, which, let’s be honest, isn’t normal.

hanekawa tsubasa: the girl of mismatched wings, is a sentence that’s repeated a lot in the series. so much, in fact, that you get bored of it after a while. but, the bigger nuance behind the name, for me, is the reason why she has mismatched wings. of course, her original surname wasn’t hanekawa, but her given name was always tsubasa, so, when she was born, she was simply a girl with wings, someone who could fly freely around the world. but, as her family changed more and more, her surname also changed, and this crack in the family department is the reason why hanekawa has her mismatched wings. i already commented this on my thought on S1, but rereading the series, the more and more i notice the constant theme of family in many of the arcs of the series, and i feel like nekoshiro did it the best.

hanekawa doesn’t have a well structured family, one may argue she doesn’t have a family at all, and that’s why, the one moment her “parents” acted like an actual family, she felt jealous. this jealousy creates a tiger, and tiger that represents both her jealousy towards well structured families and her wish to have an actual family, which just makes her development into accepting the apparitions she created as her own family all the more compelling.

you commented on the letter from hanekawa to black hanekawa, i think, and it did live up to the expectations, it was genuinely beautiful to read. in many cases, accepting yourself, flaws and all, can be difficult, but Nisio managed to portray this so beautifully with hanekawa. now she can bitch about stuff :D

as usual, many parts of the story are very metaphoric, hanekawa getting her own room, representing her finally becoming her own individual. she accepting the apparitions as family, representing both her desire to actually fix her situation regarding family and self acceptance. the tiger itself is a metaphor in and on it’s own, quite like most apparition on the series. it’s just so deep

i do have a positive bias for the arc simply due to the fact that i can relate to bits and pieces of hanekawa, and also because i just love hanekawa way too much, she’s my second favorite character behind shinobu. but i don’t feel like this bias detracts from the quality of the arc.

…ig i did have a lot to say about the arc… huh.
truly a beautiful arc, i have to say. i’ve been stuck on mayoi jiangshi for a few months now, but i’ll finish it eventually. everything at it’s own time

i have to say, i was surprised to see you’ve watched gurren lagann. thinking about it, it makes sense, it’s a very popular show, but still surprised me.

either way, the show is amazing.

just talking a bit about my experience with it. at the beginning, although i was having fun with the story and characters, i have to admit i was underwhelmed with the story. simon was a very boring character in the beginning, and although kamina always stole the show, i was never the biggest kamina stan. i knew eventually simon would have to step up his game and do something, and so he did. after episode 8 or so, i was completely sold on the story. kamina’s death and the eventual rise of simon as the leader of the daigurrendan(which i don’t really remember the name in english, since i was mostly trying to watch the show without subtitles, with the exceptions of some key episodes which i knew i had to fully understand, like the last few). and, surprisingly, this was one of the shows that better did a portrayal of grief after the loss of a loved one. one thing i usually don’t really like in anime is that, usually, a big speech is all it take to get someone from 0 to 100, because that’s not usually what happens. even series that pride themselves on their portrayal of human emotions, like mushoku tensei(which i really don’t like, as a side note) fail in that regard, but gurren lagann? simon had one amazing depression arc there. isolating himself, with mia trying to help him even if only a little bit, and the others knowing that, in the end, he had to get up by himself, and so he did. the actual moment simon got out of his shell and took upon the responsibility bestowed upon him, i was cathartic. and from then, the show only went uphill for me.

the end of the first part was very good as well. i loved how the spiral king was not really the big villain we thought he was, and there was way more mysteries than we first envisioned. it made the second half feel more earned than otherwise, and actually make the spiral king feel like a believable individual instead of an empty husk of a villain only there for the good guys to beat. it made everything more cohesive and beautiful, i feel like.

in regards to the second half of the show, i gotta admit most of the nuance went above my head, but i feel like the main message was beautiful. the daigurrendan sacrificed everything, mia was lost(which, btw, is the saddest moment of the show for me, i was actually broken seeing this, i loved mia and specially her relationship with simon), many members died, but it was all worth it, because, despite their flaws, humanity is worth it, humanity has the potential for better. i really like this train of thought, and i loved it’s portrayal in the show.

i probably have more to comment, but i’ll leave it at that for now. one of the best shows i’ve watched. extremely cathartic, very well made, amazing cast, amazing ost(which i listen for time to time), amazing theme exploration and some very great metaphors with the whole drill stuff(which, again, went over my head, but i do know it’s supposed to be a metaphor, lol)

and, as another side note, i did watch kill la kill as well, which i think is from the same team, despite not being the same studio(?). i may be wrong about this, but the point is: i did watch it. as you haven’t finished the show, i won’t comment, but i liked it as well, just not as much as gurren lagann.

as i’m writing this, nadeko draw just ended in the anime, so ep 6 of off season. so, i will comment on everything that’s out. according to your mal, you’re on ep 3, so i will be talking about some spoilers expecting you to know about them. i feel like you read the novel, so it’s not much of a problem, but, still, just in case, here’s your warning.

for tsukihi undo, i think i commented on most i wanted earlier. it’s a fine arc, with a funny punchline in the end. but, honestly, it works better as setup for the actual amazing arc, nadeko draw.

nadeko draw is such a well crafted tale for nadeko. confronting her past selfs, and in consequence creating peace with the nadeko she is now. i actually got myself thinking how much i changed over the past few years while watching it, i don’t think it’s something we tend to take notice of. like, really, if i compare myself from today from the me of last year the difference will already be quite clear, imagine comparing myself to who i was when i was 12. this was kind of off topic, but i still think it’s an interesting thing to think about that kinda connects with the arc in question.

ok, continuing. i love how the different versions of nadeko have different views on modern nadeko and how those views actually affect modern nadeko and influence her growth. flirty nadeko says what she’s doing is embarrassing, wrath nadeko says that she’s doing in against her own will, and if it’s too much of a pain she should just stop. of course, in the grand scheme of things, those are things that are not necessarily true, but it’s for nadeko to face those words that came from herself. but it’s even more beautiful how she reconciles with the other nadeko’s. flirty nadeko saves nadeko and shows her actual support for her dream, wrath nadeko thought alonglise now-nadeko to defeat god nadeko. and, of course, the scene in the end where she reconciles with meek nadeko, or the og nadeko from bake.

it’s interesting to see the direct comparison of how much nadeko has grown, or maybe changed would be the better word for it. and the scene itself of their reconcile was so gorgeous to look at i just have to give props to the animators and directors involved.

if i have to complain about a singular thing of this arc, is that it felt quite easy at some points. it’s well done, don’t get me wrong, but i feel like the older monogatari brought the story to a bigger limit. like, in nadeko draw, nadeko had to confront them one on one, and each confrontation came to a close in just a few minutes, and the last boss only took a simple anime speech to actually beat. it works, it’s beautiful, but that’s it. in hitagi end, for exemple, kaiki had to try and deceive nadeko, fail, almost die, and actually try, in that extremely precarious situation, create a way ouy. it feels threatening, and it makes the actual conclusion all the more cathartic. the same with many other arcs. most bake arcs have this formula, nise not as much due to it’s nature, but nekokuro has and so does nekoshiro. fuck, even tsukihi undo has it, but nadeko draw just… kinda happens. i do understand it’s the type of arc that doesn’t need that, it’s meant to be more serene and introspective, but it made it feel too easy at points. still very good, though, loved the conclusion of nadeko in this arc. i’m kinda looking forward to an arc where nadeko cooperates with gaen and ononoki.

overall, so far, the off season is very strong, looking forward to the shinobu and sodachi arcs.

oh, wow, i sure as hell took my sweat time to write and send this, huh? i won’t even comment on how long i took from actually beginning to write this to finishing it. procrastination is a bitch, is all i’ll say.

なんでそんなに長いメッセージを書いたかと聞かれたら、ただそうしたかったからと答えるだろう。長いメッセージを書くのが好きだけなんだ。俺の意見について話すのが楽しいと思うし、ほかの人の意見を読むのも楽しいともう。もう一度言うんだけど、全部を読みたくなかったら読まなくてもいい、本当に長いだから。

それでは、また次のメッセージへ、kiwiwiっち

na real, pera um segundo…

Nasci em Novembro. Pois é, pelo jeito o universo fica livre da culpa dessa vez.

COMO ASSIM EU SOU MAIS VELHO? ISSO NÃO FAZ SENTIDO.

Bom dia.

Scoot0809 Mar 6, 6:36 AM

i'm here...

eu ia mandar mensagem só depois de acabar o P3R, mas isso vai ser só lá pra sábado(70 horas de jogo até agora).

ちょっとパラドックスなんだけど、ペルソナ３リロードは思った以上良いで思ったほど良くない。ペルソナ３の物語はペルソナゲームの中で一番いいかも。まだ終わっていないのではっきり言えないけど、今まで物語のほとんどすべて気に入った。たぶん、まだ一番好きなのはペルソナ５ロイヤルだけど、同じぐらいペルソナ３リロード好きかも。まー、ゲームが終わってから決めることだし、へきだね！30日しか残っていないので、早く終わって見せる！

I like Persona 4 for the characters

although i might have mentioned this in my review on backloggd, it's the same for me, lol. though, unlike you, i feel like my favorite character of the entire game was kanji. i loved how his character portrays acceptance of oneself, even if others tend to reject that self(which is a main there throughout many character arcs, but i really like how it was done for kanji, for some reason. maybe bias from just finding him fun as well). otherwise, i really liked yukiko, specially when she was being a complete goofball and laughing at stupid shit(i find it funny because i also do that :D), i enjoyed Naoto and Rise almost equally, i think. Naoto had that whole cool detective plot line going for it, which has a similar theming to kanji's, and i liked it, just not as much, and Rise's plotline was fine, ig? i find the conclusion to it underwhelming, but i find her personality funny at times. i'll be honest though, i didn't care much for chie and yosuke doing my first playthrough, lol. i kinda neglected their SL until later in the game, and by then it was already too late. i found yosuke's mild homophobic behaviour, although understandable due to the context the game was written in, a bit annoying, and ig chie just didn't struck a cord with me. i'll definetely replay the game on a later date, years from now, so i'll check their SL during gameplay then(i have seen them in youtube videos and such), and i'll probably draw different conclusions from my first playthrough, but that's the state from now. i feel like i'm forgetting a character to talk about, aren't i? well, probably just my imagination, tehehe...(i just find teddie annoying, there's nothing big to it. i don't even dislike his character arc, i just don't like his interactions, it's completely personal)

The Adachi twist was predictable, and the handshake twist is bullshit, just like how the fake Nanako death is garbage writing and the gods at the end come out of nowhere, though overall the Adachi mystery is pretty fun with the modus operandi.

i agree with every single word written here. idk if i mentioned it in the backloggd thingy, but i do enjoy adachi's character after the reveal. i was severely curious as to how they would explore the mentality of an assassin in a game that's deeply related to finding the truth and had a murder case going on for the last 60 or so hours, and, although i didn't like how that exploration was handled in general, i did have my fun with adachi as a character(i especially love the way he just calls the last boss a little bitch. he calls a literal GOD a little bitch. that cracks me up, ngl). though, i still feel like they could've done so much more with his character. it feels like they left him a bit unexplored by the end of his dungeon. this i know i mentioned in the backloggd thingy, but i truly thing the dialogue they had with adachi was very superficial and could've been much more deep. an exemple would be the discussion the team had with one of the bosses in persona 5 strikers, if you played that(i tried leaving it ambiguous because i don't know if you actually played it or not).

I'm constantly listening to the OST even now, and not replaying it for now has added a lot to my experience, though I'm likely to do that at some point in my life.

damn, yes, the OST is masterful. although that goes for every persona OST, the one in P4 is really amazing. you mentioned liking the final boss due to music and visuals, and i couldn't agree more, specially on the music. 霧 is just such an amazing song, i genuinelly listen to it almost everyday while studying(together with stuff like nevermore, long way, heaven, snowflakes, heartbeat heartbreak... you get the gist). and on the replaying side of things, i do agree that not replaying it, specially for persona 4, adds a lot to the experience. the ending really gives that "goodbye" feeling. although the experience is over, it will never be forgotten and such.

i feel like, if i ever replay it, i'll play the og P4 instead of golden to see if i like it better, but i'll leave that for future me to think about.

The combat in P5 is a huge improvement, even if the game is too easy. It's the most fun turn-based system ever (not counting, like, Undertale), and the UI is ultra stylish and the OST is very good, even if not as good as P4 or the P1 vocals.

tbh, i like persona 5's combat mostly due to style points, lol. it's just very cool to look at while i'm playing, so it doesn't feel as boring as the normal turn-based rpg does. honestly, that can describe most of P5, stylish. everything in this game just screams style. you live at a coffee house, while being a phantom thief, with constant jazz music playing in the background, and every single art being very liney(idk if that is a good way to describe it, but i think you get what i mean) it just screams style. personally, i feel like this style is 90% of the reason i love this game, it's simply a vibe. being a coffee boy myself, i kinda wish i could live in leblanc, lol. and yeah, it's not as good as undertale gameplay, but that's besides the point for now.

But I didn't care about anyone other than Futaba, whose dialogue didn't live up to her design and Yuuki Aoi's performance

while playing, my favorite was also futaba, though for all the wrong reasons. though, in retrospect, i do appreciate other characters a lot more, like yusuke, ryuji or haru. though, when it comes to dialogue, i truly feel like P5 didn't hit the nail that well. dialogues in P3 and P4 feel kinda witty. they are juvenile, due to the nature of the game, but you still feel like a person could think and say that. in P5, though, specially in retrospect, although there are some fun dialogue, the important bits feel... dumb. most characters there are dumb, tbh, and the only ones who aren't dumb are treated as geniues in-world(i'll touch on akechi later, but makoto is a good exemple of that), even though they only possess common sense. i still love the cast, don't get me wrong, i feel like every character there is very likeable, and it's probably my favorite cast in persona if you are simply considering it character by character, and not as a group(as a group, i prefer P4's cast, and i feel like P3's cast is the most consistent overall), but they could have done much better with them.

and I cared even less about the story, that only really connected to Haru's arc.

tbf, although i liked p5's story overall, it is a convoluted mess. for me, p5's story is mostly hype, and i like it for that, since... well... i got hyped seeing it. the first arc was actually well executed, i would say, i love how it introduces us to this world, leaving lots of mysteries and actually delivering a satisfying tale, but from there on... everything is so convoluted and kinda forced. not that the arcs itself are bad, they just have really stupid bits, like the house visit on madarame's arc, or the entire morgana plotline on okumura's arc. and, just to touch upon this since i have the opportunity, the big twist of the story, although EXTREMELY HYPE, OMG, just really feels forced and convoluted. akechi is made out to be a genius and all, and don't get me wrong, i love akechi(in royal, main P5 akechi is just ok), but akechi seems dumbed out during this plotline, since a little difference in how he act and he would have won that "game" very easily.

and just to finish this persona bit, since it's taking very long(sorry for that, got sick, so i rewatched joseph anderson's playthrough of P4 and P5, so the games are really fresh in my mind, so i kinda wanted to talk about it) i think shido is a disappointing antagonist, although i like his bossfight. P5's last boss is also bullshit and the third semester is actually good.

ok, on to the next topic

My favorite game is Hollow Knight, followed by Celeste and One Shot, btw, and Undertale would be there too had I not experienced it through youtube videos (apesar de tê-lo comprado, um dia jógo)

vou nem mentir que me impressionei quando li isso kkkkkkkkk. ironicamente, meu caso com One Shot é parecido com o seu de undertale. eu só experenciei One Shot por uma stream do cellbit lá em 2018 ou algo assim. fiquei até 4 da manhã acordado vendo ele zerar o jogo, muito bom. mas saber que a gente tem um Top 5 similar é bem interessante mesmo(só deixando claro que meu jogo favorito é majora's mask, a ordem q eu deixo no backloggd é um pouco diferente da do MAL).

alias, só de curiosidade

Danganronpa's main inspiration is Zaregoto. It's really good, I'm sure you've heard of it.

i always wanted to play danganronpa, i have more friends that like it than i think i normally would, which is surprising... but still, always wanted to give it a try. eu tinha ouvido que era inspirado em zaregoto, eu acho, mas agora que eu sei o que é zaregoto, isso em hypa mais pro jogo, kaka. 友達から聞いた話でダンガンロンパは俺の好きなゲームのタイプだそうだけど、たぶんそんなに早くやらない。一、二年たったらやる気上がるかも。

E eita, tu vai tentar ITA? boa sorte boa, sorte aí.

gracias, minamigo(deve estar errado gramaticalmente, mas a intencao que importa)

o Nisio usa termos da matemática o tempo todo nas novels

...adora? perdão, eu que sou um completo estupido e não notei, ou eu só tive a sorte de não me deparar com isso? pq particulamente eu não me lembro de casos específicos onde ele usou matemática assim. talvez em algum volume de zaregoto? não consigo lembrar

eu pessoalmente adoro matematica e fisica

pior que são materias que, por mais que eu sempre tive prezo por, eu criei ainda mais amor por quando eu comecei a estudar pro ITA. é quase um paradoxo, "vc gosta de matemática e física pq vc estuda pro ITA ou vc estuda pro ITA pq vc gosta de matemática e física?". entender os detalhes de alguns conteúdos realmente traz uma apreciação maior a eles(e química eu continuo não gostando, mas fazer o que?)

Chegaram na alfandega meus livros, talvez tenha bastante assunto lendo-os.

i'm absolutely certain i haven't read even 5% of those. that being said, i would love to read your thoughts about them. they would indeed make for great subjects(even though i probably wouldn't be able to answer to half of what you say, just find it fun to read).

Tenho fácil uns 200 livros que quero ler já, maioria japoneses. Um dia chego lá.

honestamente, boa sorte. 200 livros não é quantidade pouca, e mesmo se tu ler um livro por semana, o que já é bastante, vai demorar perto de 4 anos. bem, ao menos será feito. contanto que a jornada seja boa, será algo bom. confio que tu consegue!

originally meant to be titled Legend of the 1200-year Locked Room, is a masterpiece (I think, 500 pages into it) that kickstarts the Shin Honkaku movement (traditional mystery elements + meta commentary and references)

oh, so shin honkaku was an entire movement. i feel kinda dumb saying this, but i genuinely didn't know.
also, the fact that ryuusei's biggest inspiration is LotGH is, although understandable, being an anime that most people say is a masterpiece, surprises me. always wanted to give it a shot, but never got around to it(and probably won't for a while).

Go to the Zaregoto discord server, I think the translation channel and check the pinned messages, or maybe off-topic, and somewhere there is a transcript of the translation of the Faust short story Drill Hole in the Brain. If ya can't find it, I'll send it to ya somehow. It's insane, absolutely worth the read.

i think i found it, if it's the pin from july 11th 2022 in the fan translation channel, that is. and i'll take your word for it and try reading it. i actually know exactly how i'll read it, i'll tell you in the upcoming months if i'm able to get to read his volumes.

though, i will say the trigger warning in Disco 🟊 Wednesdayyy scared me a bit(completely off-topic, but as i was writing this a sugar lump popped in my cookie clicker tab and it scared the shit out off me). either way, i'll tell you whenever i get to starting them, which might happen during april if things go right

Btw, I've watched every single Miyazaki movie for whatever reason but Takkyuubin is the only one I genuinely like and still think about. I'll watch the new one at some point, but I'm really not sure when, nor am I that excited, though rarely are they any bad -- just unmemorable.

i will neither agree nor disagree with you. having watching only 5 of miyazaki's movies, i find them really hit or miss. loved 2, liked 1, and kinda enjoyed 2. i feel like they are all very unique, but sometimes they just don't strike home with me. at least they are all gorgeous to look at.
just to mention, the one i loved were chihiro and kaguya-hime, i liked kimitachi wa dou ikiru ka, and only enjoyed laputa and howl's moving castle

One last paragraph, I've been rewatching Hyouka and now I'm really excited for the Shoushimin Series anime

color me surprised, i didn't know there was going to be a new anime adaptation for a work from the author of Hyouka, i'll definitely be checking that out, Hyouka is one anime i really loved seeing from beginning to end.
i think the only anime i watched from lapin track is sarazanmai(and ig i've watched penguindrum, but not the re:cycle yet). i won't comment much on their quality as a studio, but i did like sarazanmai's production back in the day, so there's that.

and there was a tease for it in the Mono x Zare collab

if you mean that one video where koyomi and Boku talk about a case where yukariki is missing, i've seen it, and i remember Boku mentioning something like "don't get your hopes up for an adaptation" and koyomi going like "hey, don't say that, they even adapted my adventures, they can do so with yours as well". if not, now i won't see it until i get to experience off-season :D

The day Silksong releases that'll make my year too, and Mono's getting a full adaptation. Hibike 3 is releasing, Madoka 4.

make that 2. silksong will be just as it was with P3R for me, playing it from day 1 during all my available free time. and hibike 3 and madoka 4 are experiences i'll also have as soon as possible(though i'm considering watching hibike 3 after it finishes airing as opposed to during it's airing, but since i'm afraid of spoilers, i might just watch it weekly).

also, just to add to this already long message...

and also...

O que tu mandar eu respondo!

..hahaha...hahahahaha....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

btw, tbm tenho 19 anos. e eu juro que se vc tiver nascido em setembro o universo conspirou pra eu começar a te mandar mensagem

Bom dia. até a próxima!

Scoot0809 Feb 14, 6:03 PM

aproveitar o fim do carnaval pra escrever a mensagem. amanhã volta aulas e tals, mas da tempo, confia!

basicamente joguei persona 3 reload o carnaval todo, to com umas 31 horas de jogo desde que lançou, que nem eu previ, F katanagatari até a semana santa. mas, por hora, vamo responder a mensagem

全部翻訳したいぐらい（ｖ2からｖ６までは諦めたけど）、期待高めてもなんの損もないだと思う

正直に言うと、この分あんまりわからなかった。翻訳するのが諦めたか、続く気があるか、本当にちょっと迷いました。まー、せめて、kiwiたんは人間シリーズのこと気が合ったってことよーーーく分かっていた。それわよかった

最強はメフィスト雑誌の短編を集める短編集、全く別物のように、世界観も全く違い、今のところはあんまり興味深いでもなんでもない。

へーー。。。なんか、それだけだったら、kiwiwiが最強シリーズをあんまり気に入りなかった理由が少しわかるかも。短編が俺だって特に読むのが好きじゃないから、短編集を読むのが決してしない。RE:ゼロの短編からトラウマになちゃった、てへへ
（けど、まぜものがたりに興味がある）

(it shows up so much more in Ningen that I felt the need to make it sound cooler, and I was able to keep the meter pretty much intact, plus the final vowel, took me at least 2 hours)

確かにかっけー。。。
それだけ。かっけ

じゃー、日本語で話すのが今のところやめます。楽しいけど、難しい。。。

Right, and Okitegami has an adaptation!, though perhaps you've already heard about it. A live-action series that covers cases from volumes 1-2, some from v3, some from v4, but with some original cases as well and an all-original ending.

yeah, i did see that, and once i'm done reading the translation so far, i will probably check it out to see how it was adapted. tbh, i'm very interested on how Nisio will create a story with a protagonist that can't change, but that will be an interesting thing to see.

(I read the last 2/3rds of v3 last year in Japanese, and it's a relatively simple read)

i'll take your word for it. well, at least i hope it's not as hard as zaregoto is, since i'm still having a hard time with that. it's fun learning new vocabulary though. 最初に見た時から「多かれ少なかれ」と「なんだかんだで」をよく使うことになった。

I should talk about that. So, I live in Sao Paulo

antes que eu comente qualquer coisa além desse parágrafo, so vou dizer que isso é extremamente interessante. basicamente, eu pretendo fazer faculdade em são paulo kkkkkkkkk. tipo, atualmente eu faço Turma ITA(e só disso eu acho que tu adivinha onde eu vivo, considerando que vc tenha contexto do que é ITA), então eu acho cômico que coincidentemente tu mora onde eu supostamente vou morar. não sei se isso significa qualquer coisa, só achei cômico mesmo

If you got an international credit card, straight from Amazon.jp I got the 4 Saikyous for ~220, arrived in 3 days. And one of these days someone in college recommended Surugaya for used books and anime merch, they constantly have shipping fee-free promotions, and earlier this year I got 10~12 books and a Faust volume for 120 contos -- almost everything that's not too recent is just 300 yen, be it a manga, a light novel or an 800-page classic.

ok, that's non-ironically very interesting. i did search for some japanese novel prices in japan(none of which i'm able to purchase right now), and usually they are doable. all 9 zaregoto volumes were about 300 bucks with shipping, i think? they were less expensive actually, but the less expensive ones weren't able to be shipped from what i checked. but knowing you were able to buy a huge amount of books for so little really ups my confidence in online buying japanese volumes. i do have Re:Zero volume 1 in japanese here from my time as a Re:Zero fan, and i did read a bit of it, but perhaps buying some other novels would up my collection.

I'm currently reading JDC too, the first shin-honkaku and some of the biggest inspiration for Nisio, Maijou

i know so little about those series i don't even know what to comment, so i'll ask instead. i do know Nisio wrote JDC Tribute, buit what even is JDC? and i never heard of maijou, so that got me curious as well. shin-honkaku mahou shoujo risuka is one i know, i plan on reading the manga if it's good and the novel as well one day, but i also know little about it, lol.

My favorite Bake arc overall is Mayoi Snail, btw, and I still like Suruga Monkey better in the anime. My favorite Season 1 novel is Nise 2, lol. Maybe you'll change your mind getting there, it's a really fun read.

being almost done with nise 2 as of writing this, although i still prefer kizu, nise 2 is damn fun, i'll agree. in specific, i broke when reading the conversation between araragi and hachikuji about the anime, way too funny usidhfhfdshfdosifhoidshfoisd. simply peak comedy. i'm close to the resolution where araragi finds out tsukihi is a phoenix, now, right after araragi left mister donut and is on the bike with shinobu. indeed a fun read so far, love the interactions between the characters in this one.

The reboot is apparently a completely different experience too, with way less fanservice, no taikushitsu/monooki scene, a lot of new cuts and music, voiceacting -- I'm relatively excited for it.

at the same time i want to see the gym storage scene and don't want to see it in the reboot, but new scenes, OST and voice acting does make me excited as well. i heard it's releasing in the US, but i truly hope it releases here as well, i would watch it in cinema for sure.

speaking of cinema, this reminds me the new miyazaki movie is releasing soon on theaters here in Brasil. probably going to watch it, i like miyazaki's movies from what i've seen, seems like a good time.

Back when it was airing the western release skipped the final minute and a half of the final episode, with the phone and the roses and the kanji for continuation (続）, I was like the only person to talk about that, in case you didn't see it, it was there, and it probably means Shaft wants to make more. Perhaps after Mono and Kubishime.

since i saw it mostly on torrent, i did see the "to be continued", yeah. but, i would love seeing more of bishounen tanteidan anime. monogatari is of course the priority, and zaregoto is something i'm more eager to see adapted than bishounen series, but still, as you said, the job shaft did with this anime was so great and so beatiful that i truly wish to see more of it, even if to see more of that beatiful style.
and, yeah, i did see that the titles parody Edogawa Rampo's Shounen Tanteidan. i found this fact extremely funny, tbh. it's truly something Nisio would do and i like that. it's nothing that truly seems to affect the story, outside of laying the base for the cases, but it's a neat little detail.

In Portuguese I'm pretty fast, but well, I do intend to dedicate my life to it, after all.

it's truly a shame that the brazillian light novel market is pratically unexistent. it would be good to have people as dedicated as you on it.

My plan is to infiltrate Brazil's publishing industry and get them to pay me to translate Zaregoto, otherwise I'd be translating Kubishime too, but I'm around your age, lol, it's gonna take a while.

honestly, i was expecting you to be around 23-24, since it's what tl_dr is, i think, but otherwise, genuinely good luck with that. if i ever see someone named kiwioiwik translating a Nisio novel, i'll come here to congratulate you.

kkk, e eu escrevo demais, inda mais falando de Nisio, perdão aí.

ESCREVA MAIS, AAAAAAAAAAAAH. particulamente, eu mesmo escreveria mais, mas são quase 11 da noite e eu tenho que acordar cedo amanhã. acabou carnaval rotina volta. mas, tipo, eu curto ler essas mensagens grandes. eu demoro pra responder, mas ler as mensagens são não ironicamente uma highlight do meu dia, acho divertido até demais, mesmo que nem sempre eu consiga responder tudo ou adicionar a discussão.

enfim, Bom dia.

até la proxima

Scoot0809 Jan 30, 7:03 AM

look, this time it took only 13 days :D

それはね、kiwiっち、遅くなったのは特に理由がない。ただ俺の怠惰だった。すまん、てへへ

じゃ、メッセージを始めようか

In fact it's probably my least favorite Nisio novel somehow? I never expected to like Ningen better than Saikyou, but maybe that'll happen in the end??? I'd give a 6/10 probably

i must say, i'm surprised. although i have no expectations towards ningen or saikyou, in fact, i do believe i'll enjoy them way less than zaregoto, i never thought the idea of giving saikyou a 6/10 was possible, being a zaregoto spin off and all. well, tbf, maybe it's because it's only the first volume, i myself am a believer that nisio series get better as they progress, as was the case with monogatari, zaregoto, katanagatari(so far) and bishounen tanteidan(anime only) for me, so maybe it will get better in future volumes. only hopefully, though.

(Koroshina, killing names, became Nomes que Matam -- not a whole else of note, though)

talvez "nomes da morte" seja uma outra tradução válida? não sei, mas ao menos o termo "killing names" me passava mais essa impressão. embora "nomes que matam" tbm tenha uma nuance parecida da original, eu acho. 戯言だけどね

primeiramente, já que faz umas semanas que eu vi o ep, minhas impressões não estão tão frescas, por assim dizer, mas mesmo assim, que episódio impactante...

being very honest here, this episode is probably the best one so far, and by a large margin. understanding more of nanami and her relationship with both her brother and their father really made the entire climax way more impactful. but i'm getting ahead of myself

well, last episode shichika had kinda lost to that little girl, so we already knew he wasn't actually going to win everything, and we also knew that, if he fought nanami, he would be humiliated, but damn...

i was right about nanami destroying the snow village, though i had doubted myself, but seeing her reasoning for it hits kinda hard... specially since it contrasts to the development shichika had until now, of becoming more human by the episode. "perhaps in the beginning of the series shichika would have thought the same way as nanami" is what i thought at the beginning of the episode

of course, shichika becoming more human, the thought of losing to his sister and having to fight her in general is more than enough reason for his slump, and the resolution with togame was hella cute, if you ask me, i love the relationship between those two.

and, well, knowing that shichika and nanami's father tried killing nanami, and that that was the reason shichika killed him... damn... that hits hard. in fact, everything relating to nanami's character hits hard

she was so strong she had to utilize other's techniques to be able to withstand her own body, she literally couldn't die, no matter how much she suffered. although i'm not happy she died, i can understand why she wanted to. and, in the end, it was simply the most tragic tale in katanagatari so far, genuinely heartbreaking. i was dead after finishing the episode.

also, i started ep 8 yesterday, and i'll try finishing katanagatari 'till friday, or else i'll take literal months to finish it, since friday persona 3 reload releases and i will play it day 1. wish me luck on finishing it, an episode or two a day and i'll be able to.

Nisio is way too lucky with adaptations -- people talk about how well Shaft's style works with his works, and it is absolutely true and I'm personally just as much of a Shaft/Shinbou fan as I am a Nisio fan

relatable. it's actually impressive how many works of Nisio got adapted and how many of them are masterpiece productions. i haven't watched neither medaka box nor juuni taisen, but i'll be damned if i wasn't stunned by the level of quality in every single Nisio adaptation i've seen, simply makes be want to see shaft adapt even more of his works. maybe okitegami, since i began reading volume 1 a few days ago, but perhaps risuka or densetsu would be more interesting in general, specially since i know zero about them(or just a zaregoto sequel, hehe).

About Bake! I know that Suruga Monkey was my favorite arc in the novel when I never even valued it a whole lot my first time watching the anime

i will say, that's surprising. i found that my anime arc ranking was actually rather similar to my novel ranking by the end of bake. i will admit i prefered suruga monkey in the novel, and maybe i'm biased since i was never the biggest kanbaru fan(though i'm now extremely excited anytime she is on page, love her dialogue), but favorite arc is not something i was expecting. respectable, though. my favorite is still tsubasa cat(although it is better in the anime).

tbh, after reading up to the middle of nise, i do agree the adaptation is better than the novel. although, as you also said, the novel is very good for fans to understand the nuances of what the characters are thinking at situations, the way the anime adapts the work really makes it stand out more than the novel itself. perhaps that is due to the fact i'm reading it in english and some nuance is missed, but i feel like the visuals of the anime outshine the narration of the novel. you mentioned the nadeko snake thing, and yeah, i do agree on that end(though i still prefer nadeko snake in the novel simply due to fun kanbaru and araragi interactions).

on the kizu end, i don't remember if it removed all monologue's, but i do feel like that's the case. i like the decision, but i will say that i left the movies with more question than with the novel. again, it's the idea that the novel really explains well what's going on inside the characters's minds, but the movie is a close to perfect adaptation. my only thing with the movie is that i didn't understand kiss-shot acerola-onion heart-under-blade's character that well there, but that might be because i was 15 at the time, who knows? otherwise, great adaptation!

and once you get to the second season you'll see that there are a lo~~~t of differences between anime and novel monogatari

i'm actually really excited for S2. in specific, i'm excited to finish nise and nekokuro. tbh, i'm not enjoying nise much in the novel. not bad, just rather stale. doesn't help that the nise translation is also, although still good, not on the level of the bake/kizu translation IMO

Oh yeah, have you read the Bake manga? Cause for Kizu it's also a completely, entirely different experience from both anime and novel, with some very relevant additions to the canon

i have read a bit of kizu in the manga, yeah, but the thing is... although i'm not proud of this, the only volume of bakemonogatari i have here is the 13th one. if you know, you know. but i didn't know it was that different. i already had plans to read the manga at one point, just for the fun and because i love great's art style and panneling, but i'll keep that in mind.

alias, só um comentário a parte, eu comecei a ler o volume 2 de zaregoto em japonês meio que numa completa whim, e, tipo...
eh...
なんか、難しいね。はい、ストーリータイム。数日前、物語シリーズオフシーズン＆モンスターシーズンのアニメ化発表の日、友達と話していて、その友達が戯言シリーズを読んでみたかったそうだったので、俺に翻訳するのがお願いしたんだが、ちょっと気まぐれで受けてしまって。。。えっっっっっっっっっっっとー。。。翻訳者たちに尊敬を！！！
一時間の間でただ最初のパラグラフしか翻訳できなかった。いい翻訳でもなかったのに、一時間！！
一時間
まー、でも、勉強になっているのでいいと思う

de resto, vou tentar acabar katanagatari e ler o volume 1 de okitegami ate o final do mês e é isso. até a próxima, tawamuregotodzukai-san, tbm conhecido como w-no-ji.

Bom dia.

inim Jan 28, 11:25 AM

I looked into anime again, other than my childhood watches, because I had run out of live action movies of interest. So I've seen most of Shinbou's favorites: Suspria, The Evil Dead, The Thing, The Exorcist, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Return of the Living Dead, Re-Animator. Haven't seen I Know What You Did Last Summer and the JP ones.

Suspria is the best Giallo by Dario Argento, the genre's most famous and prolific director. Try anything he did in the 70s and early 80s, all very similar quality. Some say Giallo is influenced by the German Bryan Edgar Wallace films of the 1960s, which however are still crude comedy and not the violent thrillers Giallo is famous for. Another thing to look into are exploitation movies, created in the same period - e.g. Shaft, "Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS", Cannibal Holocaust or Lady Snowblood. All that then again evolved into the slasher horror of the 1980s. I love my trashy, pulpy, campy b-movies, and it seems so does Shinbou :D

I'm surprised you like Kurosawa but not Kubrick, I deem their style very similar. Both of them are in my all time top 5 director list, which Kubrick probably tops. Give him another chance maybe, e.g. Clockwork Orange is gold.

Bom dia.

happy new ano novo, been a while. i've been reading monogatari and honzuki on the holidays and kinda forgot to answer back, mb mb, lol.

either way, to the point.

E eu achei q eu tinha aprendido minha lição quando o tldr tava assistindo, mas esqueci de avisar uma coisa sobre Katana. É essa a preview pro ep 4, que passa no final no ep 3, caso tenha pulado como qualquer assistidor de anime razoável faria. Ou seja, é um troll imenso, que fica hypando a luta com a pessoa mais forte do mundo, mostra um tubarão sendo cortado ao meio, mas a piada é que a pessoa mais forte do mundo é na verdade a irmã, e não o sabi.

sim, eu pulei, hehe. eu tendo a preferir pular previews pra não saber de nada do ep por vir, mas jesus, isso é hilário UDHEAUIDHSAUIDHIUSHDIUD. a punchline também é muito efetiva, no fim, teve a luta com a mais forte do mundo mesmo. quebra de expectativa a 1000. chego a imaginar como isso foi feito na novel, talvez no afterward o Nisio tenha comentado que o próximo volume ia ter a luta com o mais forte do mundo? seria interessante

não comentarei os outros 2 parágrafos, mas só pra falar um pouco do ep 6 que eu achei épico.
i was pleasantly surprised at that little girl, konayuki. at first i thought everything she said was a lie due to what hitei had said before about the village. i thought she was lying to them about the distruction of the village and actually wanted to lock them there or get help to beat them, but then i discovered the actual truth and it hurt more than i imagined... i kinda expect the one to have destroyed the village to be nanami, but i don't know and neither do i think that's going in the right track, cause she would have picked the sword had it been her... wait, i think i thought of something and i was writing this... i'll ignore it for now.
still, some stuff that happened was nanami, like getting that other sword in 30 min.
and also, i love how shichika is humanazing himself as the story progresses. although, as togame comments, that makes him a dull sword, that process was necessary for the story, and definitely will be interesting to be the results of when i'm done with this story by july(hopefully earlier, but i have a tendency of procrastinating on those stuff)
also, love how shichika finally told togame about what he knows about her. i was waiting for that since the beginning, and it was a sweet moment for them, although i feel like shichika has some lingering feelings on the matter, due to some clues on the direction, but i'll see that whenever i get there

otherwise, still a fun show, not dissappointing at all

Queria comentar de leve, ja que eu to lendo a novel.

Jesus, ler a novel da muito mais contexto à obra do que eu esperava. NADEKO SNAKE FOI QUASE 50% CORTADO NO ANIME, WHAT DID THEY DO TO THOSE AMAZING CONVERSATIONS ARARAGI AND KANBARU HAD IN THE BEGINNING OF THE AAARC?

but, yeah, non-surprisingly, having araragi narrate really makes you understand the characters and story better, though i do think the anime does the humor better(or at least i laugh more at the anime). being able to understand the process thought behind actions actually make many scenes that were not that good in the anime, like nadeko snake in general, feel much more impactful. the ending of nadeko snake in the anime just felt empty to me in many ways, but reading it in the novel, the construction that happened for it just made it 10x better. even on mayoi maimai there was some conversations that added to the theming of the arc that were cut in the anime, which is sad. the only arcs i truly feel are better in the anime are hitagi crab and maybe tsubasa cat(though the others are as good as or just slightly below the novel), haven't finished rewatching tsubasa cat to conclude that yet, but at least episode 11 was done better than in the novel.

i also gotta say, for the first time i actually noticed how big of a theme family is in monogatari. i might be stupid for only noticing this now, but in my defence, i watched monogatari when i was, like, 15, that was over 4 years ago by now. still, i love how many of the things that happen in monogatari have a close connection to family, since that's one of my favorite themes to explore in all of fiction. i feel like the only character of the first 5 girls(shinobu not included) that has no ties to family in her character arc is nadeko, and surprise surprise, her arc is the worse of bake(it probably has no connection, but it's kinda funny to think about. even kanbaru has some family tied into her arc, with her mother and all).

also, just want to comment how perfect tsubasa cat is. it's the perfect conclussion for araragi's mini character arc during bake, growing to not try and save every single person, putting his own priorities, accepting his feelings for senjougahara, and accepting shinobu in the process, in a way. i know this will be more explored in nise, but i already like the conclusion araragi had with shinobu for now, and am excited to see it being more contextualized in the kizu novel, which i'm reading.

i might comment more on later posts, but for now that's it

Pelas internets eu uso uns nomes tipo "w", "wwwi" e "ww w", pode me chamar de wicchan, w-kun, w-no-ji ou Tawamuregotodzukai, tanto faz memo.

ん、分かった、たわむれごとづかいさんですね？きっと戯言使いのほかの読み方じゃないんですよね。ん、ん。きっとただの普通な名前ですな。分かった、これから君はkwwから卒業し、たわむれごとづかいになりま～す

Ironia. Um dia eu decido num nome melhor, até lá vai ter q ser kww mesmo k.

残念ながら、スペイン語はできませ～ん。すみません、たわむれごとづかいさん。あとでこの分を翻訳して、また答えます:)

piadas a parte, talvez eu realmente te chame te algo tipo "w-no-ji" já q soa legal e é um tanto engraçado. de resto, vou ler mais kizumonogatari lá, e se meu cérebro entrar na vibe, ver mais katanagatari.

Bom dia. até a próxima

But to me it's hard to call it a character study when the characters are all so indifferent to the events. No one cares that people die, no one cares about who the culprit is and whether they'll get punished or not, no one ever changes their mind or personality, except for maybe Kunagisa right at the end of v9.

i'll semi-agree on some characters, but not all of them are, specially Boku. i feel like, although the main traces of each character never change, they keep evolving over time, more in specific Boku, who went from a self-hating bastard who genuinely thought him not being there was better for everyone else to someone who could accept himself and strive for a happy life. the rest not as much, although in some cases like yukariki you can see them changing their outlook and trying to live a different life from the one they were before, but learning more about them made them more relatable, we knew nothing about miiko until volume 6, but learning her philosophy and where she is coming from made her more genuine, hence the character study bit. talvez chamar de character study não seja o mais correto, mas dizer que ninguém muda de opinião em momento algum também não me aparenta ser o mais correto. just my 5 cents, though.

There's this thing with how Ii is so generic that people relate to him so hard they feel like commiting murders

that's actually very interesting and i didn't notice that. i just took it for granted, honestly, lol. mas essa ideia é interessante. particulamente eu não creio que isso precisasse de uma explicação, mas o fato de ter uma é bem vindo, Nisio god

The members of the Thirteen Stairs didn't leave nearly as much of an impression on me as any of the members of Kyouchirou's Laboratory, I can barely remember who they were other than Noise, Noise was cool, but, again, I have to reread them cause I'm sure my opinion would change.

yeah, it's more or less the same for me. the thirteen stairs, at least some, did leave an impression on me, noise, emoto(the doctor), rurero(the puppeter) and saito, of course, although perhaps he cannot be considered one of the thirteen, don't remember, but not as much as the cast of earlier volumes did. as you mentioned, the members of the kyoichirou laboratory did leave a larger impressions, perhaps because they constantly appeared throughout those 2 volumes of the arc, while the thirteen stairs really only appeared one or the other for a chapter before never to be seen again. but, yeah, it is a problem indeed

pode ler primeiro dps a gente discute, hehe.

はい、喜んで:)

until now, i have to say i'm enjoying the work a lot. it seems like each episode has it's own themes, but since i haven't fully watched it, perhaps i'm missing some stuff.

for starters, i want to talk about shichika, since i've been liking his character a lot.
in episode 3, i feel like for the first time i noticed that the character of shichika really was nothing more than a blade at that point. he just killed the girl, and in a most terrifying scene, just casually said: "oh, togame, i killed her" with no trace of emotion in his voice, as if that didn't matter, and that really struck with me. the character until now was cool, but nothing much. there were a few jokes made on his lack of personality(which i'll talk about later, cause damn, i love the humor in this series), but, honeslty, that was it. but on that point, on that sentence, i knew something more was going to happen, and i'll be damned, it happened.
on ep 5, shichika finally shows a bit of humanity, with some hints of jealousy towards the thought that someone that is not him would take togame, with some hints of hesitation on his fight with the leader of the yoroi pirates, etc. and there was that amazing scene at the end where he notices that he is just as much of a human as he is a sword, and that's exactly what i wanted from his character. simply... peak. loving it, and i do hope we get to learn more about togame soon, and that princess hitei girl.

another interesting thing for me was nanami. i didn't really expect her to be... that strong. sure, ig if i had thought about it a bit, it would make sense, shichika wouldn't just leave his sickly sister alone on an island where anyone could kill her at any time, but still... that caught me by surprise, and i'm really curious as to how this will develop, specially since it seems she is going to the main land now... excited for more.

and the comedy... oh the comedy... IT'S GOLD. episode two went full on meta with how it was joking on story telling, personalities, quirks, character, catchphrases, etc. it almost seemes like Nisio was making fun of Boku when togame said: "a character with no strong personality will quickly lose the attention og the readers", and i was dying of laughter all the way through. on ep 4 as well, the fact that the fight with sabi was completely cut broke me to no end, i was dying of laughter when they were just happly comenting on the fight we didn't see, god was i laughing. and on ep 5 when togame discovers what "cheerio" means... I COULDN'T, THE SCENE WAS SO WELL MADE I WAS DYING, MAN DSIHBFSDHFIUSDHFIUSDHFOIUSDHFOUISD. HOW CAN AN ANIME BE THIS FUNNY? I CAN'T

also, i gotta say, although i didn't like the first villain, all the other... well, not really villains, just antagonists, but all of them were for my liking. they have this kind of complexity to them that leaves the situations way more heavy and interesting to see. even the maniwani fellas got better as the episodes progressed, and that's because i thought i would hate all of them. the antagonists for eps 2,3 and 5 really hit hard on me. ep 4 didn't really have an antagonist, since fight skip, but the maniwani there had me a little engaged on their relationship(although i could swear it was trying to be a parody of those cliche'd teamwork relationships. can't tell, though)

safe to say i'm enjoying it so far. really good.

「二度目の夏二度と会えない君」て話、聞いたことが全くなっかた。小説版か漫画版,　あとでどっちが一番いいのはぜひ教えてください, 多分読む

呼んだら言う。正直に言うと読むのに時間がかかるんだけど、終わったらぜひ言う。

E é que o pior é q as reações pra traducao foram meio negativas o dia que fiz propaganda, e já teve comentários positivos desde lá também, mas eu to aguardando ficar pronto esse volume (em cuja qualidade tenho confiança maior) pra voltar a ver as reações.

それ、多分普通じゃない？なんか、初めにはさすがに完璧な翻訳作れないしね。だから、ｋｗｗがどんどんうまくなっているのがいいことと思う

Os extra de v10 são 100 adágios criados pelo mestre das bobagens e que são muito divertidos

achei engraçado que o último é "it's all nonsense, though". o resto eu não vi direito, passei rápido só pra ter uma noção, mas o último ser esse deu um sentimento bom.

あと、ちょっと質問だが、いつも君のことｋｗｗと呼ぶことにしたんだけどさ、ほかの呼び方とかある？なかったらいいけど、ただあったら多分そのほかの呼び方にする（笑）。

de resto, vou ver mais katanagatari e acabar essa temporada de jujutsu. provavelmente só mando outra mensagem próximo ano, então aproveite as festas aí! Feliz natal e Feliz ano novo, tmj, até a próxima!

and, yeah, i do kinda understand the feeling of being able to decipher a word only by kanji, i did do that a few times in my life, and it indeed is a good feeling(although there was always a kanji afterwards where i got stuck and the feeling vanishes, lol). still, perhaps i can actually do it... well, guess i just gotta study more.

その習う方法は確かにいいね。日本語での本もマンガもいっぱいダウンロードしておいたから、多分年末でそうしてみる。家族と旅行することになって、読むのにいいきかいになりそう。多分「二度目の夏二度と会えない君」って小説を読むことにするんだけど、している、その小説？知らなかったら、ぜひ後で探してみてください！本当にいいのかわからないんだけど、せめてマンガバージョンが好きだった（数年前読んだけどね。バイアスが多分ある。）。でも、おすすめする！

eventualmente eu vou descobrir se a tradução é boa ou não kkkk. tipo, considerando a forma que tu fala inglês aqui, eu não imagino que seja ruim, tlg? mas, por ter uma certa diferença entre o inglês necessário para traduzir as obras de nosso querido Nisio e o inglês necessário para uma conversa dessas, eu te aviso quando eu checar(embora eu creia que tu já tenha recebido algum feedback de uma galera, principalmente considerando que eu descobri suas traduções por meio de uma recomendação)

de resto, Bom dia. vou ver mais katanagatari e tentar acabar até sexta, flws. até a próxima

Scoot0809 Dec 14, 2023 10:55 AM

"only 46" kinda broke me, ngl, i read 11 of his books, 9 of which were zaregoto, and i find it already a lot, lol. Also, it's kinda sad that series like risuka or the densetsu series aren't translated by fans, since you mentioned them. i've seen Nisio mention them in some Q&A's, in specific there was this one quesiton about which of his series he would most want to see animated, the answer being "densetsu and risuka", and i've always been curious about those. But, i do understand the lack of traction JDC Tribute received, it's kind of that series that only japanese people would understand, it feels like(still sad, though).

On the katanagatari stuff, honestly, that's rather interesting. i thought the anime just copied the way the novel published, one volume a month, and that was it, otherwise it being just a normal adaptation like any other, although with a higher quality. But, now that you said the novel is kind of a script for the anime... i'll take your word for it and go for the anime before going for the novel. thanks!

i'll definitely read this SS too, thanks a lot! and, yeah, the stuff from ningen seem very interesting, specially this volume 7 epilogue thingy(ngl, this idea leaves me rather hyped), though i'll probably wait for you to translate more of it before beginning to do so, since i would rather read it in my own pace than waiting for stuff to release. i'll still definitely support your translations though, i cannot stress enough how much i love the fact you're putting time into translating this series many english speaking fans must have wanted to read for such a long time.

also, i'll take this opportunity to ask you what you thought of the later half of zaregoto being so different from the first half. i saw you prefer the first half over the second one, but still, it would be nice understanding why you think that. personally, although i prefer the type of story from the first 5 volumes as a concept, the later 4 volumes hit me way much harder, specially from how Ii-tan was portrayed on them. in specific, the end of v6 and the last few bits of v9 were definitely my favorite bits of the entire story. would be nice seeing what you think about them, if possible.

i've heard about the death note one before. still, do you know where i can find it? i've searched a bit online and... forget it, while i was typing i found it in archive.org, lol.

i've heard actually a bit about the sekai series and the boukyaku tantei series(in specific, that Nisio is over 10 years due on the last 2 chapter of sekai 5 and a few quotes from boukyaku tantei). i do plan on reading sekai down the line, though that's a plan for way later, but boukyaku tantei kinda falls on the ningen case for me: i would rather wait for it to be more translated(or just throw my ass on some kanji dictionary and actually learn them for once). but i'll keep the other two you mentioned on mind. i've also heard about shoujo fujuubun, which it seems you've also liked, so that's another thing to look forward to, ig.

yeah, Nisio books are kinda hard in general. i've tried reading a few LNs in japanese, mostly to no avail, but i still could understand them, but i once tried to read zaregoto v1 in japanese and damn... i do feel like it's more of a matter of getting used to reading in japanese, which you probably experienced as well, but does it give me a tad bit of boredom reading them while unable to understand it... must feel rewarding actually being able to read it, though.

あと、kwwがポルトガル語が分かったことが全然知らないで、驚きました。多分、メッセージが送る度に日本語でもポルトガル語でも英語でも書くようにします。理由は特にないで、ただいろんな言語で同時に話すのがちょっと面白いと思います。まー、ときどき分を間違うこともあるんだろうが、その辺に勘弁してください（特に漢字の間違い）

de resto, bom falar contigo, acho divertido escrever essas mensagens grandes kkkkkk. tmj

Hello!

thanks for accepting my friend request. Matt(tl_dr) mentioned you in some of our conversations and that made me want to talk to you, it's always nice seeing a NisioIsin fan, specially one that goes to such lengths as to translated his amazingly complex works(just taking the oportunity to also thank you for translation the ningen series, i always wanted to read it since finishing zaregoto, but my knowledge on kanji is quite bad, so it really would be difficult).

I'm currently reading the monogatari series, but, since you have read far more Nisio works than i did, i would like to ask for recommendations on which of his works i should read next(note that i only watched monogatari and am currently on nadeko snake on the novel, read zaregoto, and read a bit of cypher academy). I kinda want to read katanagatari next, whenever i can, but i still would like to know your views on which of his works would be great to read!

tl_dr Jan 30, 2023 4:05 AM

Hey there, once again sorry for the late reply, Christmas and New Years were busy and I'd been somewhat more inactive on online stuff lately. I *finally* sent you the friend request on Discord though, so if you see some 🤓 with a cute cat profile pic, with the initials CS, that's me 👋
You're probably right, it'd be more efficient to move these conversations over to there.

Oh and I finally got around to watching Sonny Boy - seems I had underestimated the anime after all, it was very different to what I had initially thought it would turn out to be. Still thinking about it, trying to put my thoughts about it into words later...
