I’m reading Homunculus atm, but I’m glad I spotted your review. Mostly because it’s captures the main issues with the series succinctly, and I was hoping someone would put these issues down.

nice homunculus review. A 6 was really generous

Lol I love how my guy has been last online 5 years ago and people still shit at him in the comments like ???

>I wouldn't call this work "pretentious" because I don't think Hideo Yamamoto is a good enough writer to be called pretentious. I would, however, call it a rambling, messy attempt at philosophising.

>Mirai Nikki 10/10

this is god tier bait

you are really stupid dude

I haven't read Homunculus, so I can't agree nor disagree with your assessment of it. However, the "I wouldn't call this work 'pretentious' because I don't think Hideo Yamamoto is a good enough writer to be called pretentious" statement is hilarious. I'm stealing it.

First and foremost I think you werent really discussing the negative points of the manga.
1. There were too many subplots that went no where or were just unsatisfactory, for example the Pegasus subplot didn't go anywhere not just from a charachter standpoint but also the religious commentary didn't go anywhere. There are just too many charachters, actually I felt this could have easily been avoided if the plot was more focusing on Punpun rather than have charachters that have they fair share of time, in other words I would have liked if charachter disappeared without the mc's interference in their life (I am not particularly a fan of the charachters).
2. In some instances its really edgy. I felt that the author tried too hard with all the hyperbolic stuff. For example Yuichi's past, Aiko's mother and so on.
3. Too preachy (kinda like this comment), usually the dialogue can be really fun to read but sometimes it can be really a lot, it drags by the amount of text or the way the panels are structured, not to mention how unnatural it was for me when charachters started to convey or to express some phylosophical thoughts for no particular reason than to convey the authors's views e.g. Seki, the ex husband/boyfriend of Punpun's girlfriend and so on.
Also there are somethings that you either didn't express to clearly or misinterpreted or I am doing that very thing myself right now.
For example in your review you say that punpun grows horns to represent corruption which is perfectly fine, as I tought so myself but Inio says "Vega is Orihime, Altair is Hikoboshi — and then with the addition of Deneb, it becomes the summer triangle. Satchan similarly creates the triangle with her and Punpun and Aiko — or Hikoboshi and Orihime. The horns Punpun eventually grows (volume 11) aren’t devil horns; Hikoboshi is also called the cowherd star, so those horns are supposed to be bull horns." Which probably means that they are not really there to express corruption but rather to signal the metamorphosis that is about to insure. Like a draw back to the past, innocent times come back. You can see that more prominently in Aiko's case. Then you talk about Punpun's and Aiko's relationship mostly from Punpun's side. I think it's interesting to note that everything that you described about him also corelates with her. I mean it's one of the reasons why the "hanging" happened in the first place.

OK going now back to Homunculus. As mentioned I can't really comment on the repetition but when I reread it, I will remember the repetition and preaching that you mentioned. But I do think that those things were used to illustrate a different context from situation to situation. Oh, and nice pun "Yamamoto had a point that he drove into out heads."

I don't think that your review on Homunculus is fair. Honestly I have not read the series in years but could you provide some examples on all the repetition that you mentioned ? Also could you give me an example to what you mean with the preachy part, altough I have a pretty good guess of what you mean. Oh, and there is a lot of things that I disagree and see you glossing over in your Punpun review, but than again you did the same for Homunculus.
