Obviously I know very well that he was a horrible person but that's why I like his character, he makes him an interesting antagonist and I like his dialogues, plus it's not very smart to compare a fictional antagonist or villain against a real-life genocide xd

Hello, how are you✨
Wait you dropped Natsume after the first episode. It's the best slice-of-life anime ever. Give it another chance. You won't regret it. The first season was nice. It might be boring at first, but after the first season , you'll get attached to it. Season 7 was the best anime in 2024. my favorite season of anime was season 4 so dramatic so good. it’s really reminds me of Mushishi the same vibes

Anyway What's the last thing you've watched recently? I'm currently watching Ashita No Joe, a really great anime. Have a great day.💞💞

How mentally ill do you have to be to write 28 pages of text on a show you rated a 3/10? I hope God puts you into Texhnolyze after you die.

Okay I actually take back what I said after reading your further review on Texhnolyze and looking at your scores on all series rated on your list.

I'm legitimately baffled and completely speechless.

Your Texhnolyze review is well-written yet at the same time your arguments are so bad faith it's insane.
e.g All the characters being "thinly written" like Ichise having no reason for being violent or you not understanding why Doc killed herself (and not understanding that Doc raped Ichise at the beginning of the series which in turn made Ichise even more on edge and insane)

Basically everyone (even the schizo Class) actually believed they're doing the right thing because believe it or not everyone thinks that they're good people and have good intentions.

Also Ichise represents "prime human or wild humanity" at it's deepest core.

You just started moralizing the characters assuming like they're supposed to be some shonen protags.


Also Racan doesn't represents freedom it represents anarchism (I Will give you that all the groups are not like 1:1 representions of political/religious ideologies)

You never once mention Rafia at all despite it being an important plot point to understand texhnolyzation and The Above World since it's not just people getting prosthetics.

Also your take on that the people in Above World would still Have much to live for despite being immortal.
If people became immortal we would basically be even more depressed as a society.
It's literally The Myth of Sisyphus. Without the "power struggle" or "power play" people wouldn't AND couldn't literally do anything anymore because meaning and motivation would cease to exist.

I get that if aesthetically and pacing wise the story is not to your tastes.
But to say that the story offers no thematic meaning or narratives is delusional. Because you literally figured it out at the beginning of your review. The characters have their own motivations and reasoning for their beliefs or you could say, coping mechanism.

Oh and your points about technology were so naive. What would you say are the reasons people (especially in 1st world) are more depressed than ever before even though we have had all this insanely rapid technological and in turn economic growth.

Your one point that I agree with is that the story is convoluted but I feel the creators respect the intelligence of viewers by not just having a bunch of exposition dumping which is grating most of the time.

Sorry if I came off too aggressive.

It's funny in the sense that you clearly understand a lot about storytelling, yet still disliked the show a lot.

Tenma is a doctor who took the Hippocratic Oath to value life and does everything in his power to preserve it. Monster's thesis statement is that not all life can realistically be equally valued, and in a scenario where you can save a child who's predestined to be a mass-murdering psychopath capable of manipulating others to do the same or a politician who's likely corrupt right now, the correct decision is the politician rather than the child. It's a more plausible take on the far-fetched "kill baby Hitler" scenario used in time travel. As idealistic as one would like to be, believing in the possibility of change for a child, the decision was the wrong one. But to make that "right" decision, you, too, must be a "Monster" to an extent. The entire series explores a multitude of characters and the various "monsters" that are a part of them. Whether it's psychosocial, parasocial, materialistic, possessive, psychological, etc., it's all about a group study of people through individualized character studies. And of these kinds of people, sociopaths and psychopaths with a propensity for murder are scary because where others may live with their monster by trying to suppress it, cope with it, or control it, true sociopaths and psychopaths with an affinity for harm, don't; their monster isn't a part OF them, it IS them.

For Johan, this scenario is less about who he is as a person and what he represents: a true monster. In the same way, Paul Newman in 1963's Hud represents a changing generation that departs from the previous one's traditional values. The "face" of that change is terrifying; some changes are when you cannot connect to it anymore. Or Javier Bardem's Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men. He's representative of a wickedness that you can't classify in the same way old Westerns did the bad guys. It brings terror to those who hold onto the belief of the "righteous good" or the steady hand of justice prevailing. The world is often incidental, chaotic, and uncaring about the social constructs that people assign to it.

Johan isn't "scary" because you can comprehend his character; he's scary because you can't. If you can comprehend evil (as a concept), you can put a face to it; you can "defeat" it. Or better yet, rationalize it and, perhaps, talk it down. Tenma, for as intelligent as he is, is also naive because of his oath as a doctor. We learn to comprehend Eva Heinemann, Wolfgang Grimmer, and others along the way because they're still people with a moral compass despite their monsters. But with Johan, there's nothing to learn. So, where Tenma fights giving into his "monster" to just kill, the antithesis of his core beliefs, Johan is unburdened and unconcerned about the idea of taking life. Tenma is to Johan what Javier Bardem was to Tommy Lee Jones in No Country.

If you were to relate it back to real life, it's why scientists are always trying to study the brains of serial killers postmortem or why they bring behavioral psychologists or profilers to get a better sense of the serial killers' motives. It's people trying to comprehend the deepest depths of evil. Monster explores that thoroughly, better than a lot of material can, given how many episodes it has to work with and the audiovisual medium that allows it a wider range of charting that out. David Fincher could make a film about the Zodiac Killer, you could read a 200-page paper about one, and Mindhunter can have a mini-series about it, but Monster gives us 300 hours worth of material. It's rare that any piece of art gets that in-depth exploring the various aspects of the human psyche, let alone doing so while being engrossing.

This is not the only reason I love it; there are many more. You can really go over it for hours. But hopefully, that aspect of it will help give you a better picture.

Hi! Not at this moment. I've been listening to it's OST by Kanno. I'm a big fan of Cowboy Bebop and Watanabe so I'll probably watch it soon!

Its all good! Life happens ;P

Well that's kinda the point of Tatami Galaxy. The main character is constantly chasing this idealized perfect high school life when the ultimate conclusion is that striving for that picturesque high school life is impossible. The message is that you'll be happier living life within your means and enjoy the opportunities that are in front of you instead of striving to live a perfect life that does not exist.

I would argue that Ahiru's true self is the duck. She spends so much time hiding that side of herself so the times when she reveals that she is a duck its a moment of vulnerability. In those moments she does not need to keep appearances and when people find out she tends to grow closer to them. I could see wanting her to stay human but I think having her find her own resolve for her weaker, less capable yet sincere and genuine self is a very nice message.
And ya not liking magical girl shows is totally cool. We all have different tastes and I don't particularly like or dislike them myself. ;P

Hmmmm for character designs I love creative and unique ideas. Basically weird artsy shit. Being able to combine ideas into one thing that creates a cohesive whole. I'm sure Pokemon designs influenced that a lot. xD And of course, I also love cute soft things in general so that influences my personal preferences a lot. Pastel colors, thick lines, chibi proportions, that kinda deal. In the end I most appreciate a character design that compliments and enhances the art its attached to! An anime with what I think are great character designs that comes to mind is Dungeon Meshi!

Yo!
Yeah I wouldnt expect you to remember the episode after so long, but I appreciated you comment anyway. ;P I havent actively thought about that aspect of Fuujin Monogatari but I totally agree that its unglamorized portrayal of youth is very refreshing. Especially compared to a lot of anime which makes it seem like your high school years are the last happy years you will ever have. And yeah its pretty obvious that cute girls doin mundane things is my shit. xD

Having narrow taste can be totally valid even if I seriously disagree with some of your scores. Everyone views media in different ways and values different things. The fact you are open about discussing those disagreements in a presumably mature manner is cool! Its a shame that other guy seemed pretty single minded about whatever.

Oh shit that's sick! Im glad you liked my review! ;D And yeahhhh it is apparent that Princess Tutu is very much about the characters exploring the self and defying the roles given to them by the story and to embrace yourself and take your own role in life. All the time characters are questioning themselves, who they truly are and their place in the story. Ahiru's whole struggle as a character, especially in the first half, is her questioning weather its good for her to be returning Myuto's emotions. And later on she starts to realize that her prince loves Princess Tutu not Ahiru, which has her questioning her self and why she even likes him. There are many more examples. Frankly, I think seeing the show as simply Tutu seeing a prince and then saving him isn't particularly wrong, but its such a surface level interpretation that it undermines the show and does not dive into the complexity of these characters and their internal struggles. It misses the point.

Annnnnyway, yes I love art and character design in general! It one of the first things I notice about a show and I have a deep appreciation for appealing and unique character design as well as art direction (another great part of Fuujin Monogatari)! I love drawing characters so I guess that bleeds into my reviews ;P

Yo! Found your profile from a windy tales episode 10 forum post from like 5 years ago. Seems like you have a lot of controversial anime opinions xD
Wonder whats up with the dude below me in the comments o_o

salty? lmao i dont want my page filled with a one sided converation because it looks silly

lmao didnt realise we were 7 year olds in the early 2000s embarrassing

stop having shite opinions you mongrel :)

I told you you were wrong because what you said about that show was one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen and I don’t need to make ‘headway’ in this ‘argument’ because it’s not an argument 😭 you said something stupid, I told you it was stupid…. End of.
