Freedom is only the freedom to limit oneself, as in one moves one direction.
Love is to be fixated with this specific person, accepting their flaws but seeing them as absolute.
To dedicate one's life to another is a restriction of one's freedom, to live together with another is a restriction of one's freedom.
One have to share space and time, communication implies an implicit agreement of how to communicate.
Who does what in the home have to be decided.
If something happens the other person have to help.
People come bundled with their problems that they burden the other person with.

Human sexuality do not follow utilitarian reasoning, as in humans desire the impossible.
While animals is fine with what they can get, humans want what they cannot get.
Human enjoyment is based on breaking taboos, of reaching for the impossible.
Human sexuality is never stable.

There is two types of love.
Love of safety as in being taken care of, having food and security.
Love of desire as in the desire for the impossible, unstable love.
Love of safety is stable but without passion, while love of desire is unstable but filled with passion.

I am talking about agape, selfless unconditional love.
It is this selfless unconditional love that is violently conditional in itself.
Most of the time people follow eros, personal enjoyment, but suddenly they fall in love, their world is turned upside down.
The declaration of love is: "I want you to abandon eros and join me in agape".
"love is giving something one doesn't have to someone who doesn't want it" - Lacan

I am talking about the violence of love, if someone declares their love to someone else, that is to impose on their freedom.
It is like saying: "I want to rob you of your current life, as in I want to share my life with you".
It is only violent love I consider real love, without violence it will look like an employment contract, saying something like:"here are all my conditions for a relationship, if you agree sign here".

Hey, loved ur Nana review <3

>I do not believe that fate can predetermine events, therefore that is BS.

*sigh* that is the very definition of fate. If you can't reason with that then there's no need to continue this conversation. Also, HSL's characters are stupid af. I'm not personally attacking you; these are just my opinions.

Good Day.

Your Lie in April = 10, Penguindrum = 3, your opinion is invalid then. Train is a timeline ? that was only the fucking train..

Read your review on penguindrum, and all you say in that review is that the show sucks. No reasoning as to why you hate the show, you just do. So the characters are a 3/10 but edgy BS characters in Happy Sugar Life are a 10/10? Also, I would like to hear why you think that the symbolism together make no sense.

The use of intentional disjointed scenes is more an art-house quirk than anything else. It would indicate poor directing if it didn't have any impact, which is a fair criticism if you weren't impressed. Personally, I love the challenge of connecting the seemingly random scenes together through a narrative that I've come up with. Anime tends to be more explicit with its messages and character intentions compared to other media, which is why I appreciate Lain and other artsy anime which demand more thinking from the viewer.

I do sympathise with your distaste for the criticism of Lain. With the culture around vaporwave aesthetics (SEL is often associated with this) and anime analysis hitting their peaks around the same time on the internet, it remains trendy to love SEL. The goal of anime analysis is to validate one's love for an anime by speaking their merits in a semi-academic fashion. You'll find plenty of pretentious reviewers explaining the appeal of Lain through psychobabble and philosophical nonsense to appeal to fans who like the show but can't understand why.

I believe the appeal of Lain is more about appreciating the stylish aesthetics and lofty concepts in whatever framework you chose but I can understand your distaste for it if you were disappointed by the narrative structure.

Hi. I appreciate your perspective on SEL, it seems you have some insight into the show which many people don't. Having said that, I would like to give some perspective on why Lain is so beloved.

Lain is less of a linear story and more of an open-ended mystery. Many scenes are intentionally ambiguous and disconnected from each other. The core appeal is making theories based on how you interpret the show and continually testing it against new information every episode - it is constantly challenging your ability to analyse new information and make sense of it against prior information.

Nearly every artistic decision deliberately contributes to the atmosphere and in turn the narrative. The ominous sound design, cloudy art design and sparse, disconnected dialogue all play into the aesthetic the show is trying to construct. At the very least, the bold choices that were made in this anime's production to further inform the narrative deserves praise. The original 1998 DVD release isn't all that impressive visually but the Blu-ray re-release amped up the production aspects considerably.

Many people who enjoy Lain are those who have enough knowledge to be aware of the topics it brings up but not enough to critique it (including me). It's satisfying to their ego if they feel like they understand something on the horizon of their comprehension - much of SEL is hard to grasp and challenging in this way. I relate to your frustration in the lack of criticism of media that deals with intellectually difficult topics - I constantly notice inconsistencies in shows when they incorporate physics.

I don't have the grounds to respond on the intellectual content of Lain but I hope you understand why I and many others enjoy this anime.

It's sad that you completely missed the point of SEL. The things you said in your review are so off.
