Hello there and welcome to my profile. Proud anime tourist. Friend request will be accepted based on vibes and feelings.

I love books movies shows and animanga. Stories in general. I believe in enjoying multiple things for what they are and like being involved in multiple fandoms to me variety is the flavour of life. Firm believer in forming your own opinion and voicing it defenitley but respectfully. Be kind.
If I favorite an author or a studio it is done based on my view of their work not the person or company itself. If an author consistently writes things I like and a studio produces products I like I am a fan. I am not endorsing the creator as I am not personally familiar with them.

Well this is my rating system. S and A are stuff I'm a fan of B is where Im mostly positive and enjoyed it , C is where I was kinda mixed but okay I guess , D is where I thought this was mediocre and F is just man this was a bad experience.

S ( 10 or 9) GREAT
A ( 8 ) VERY GOOD
B ( 7 ) GOOD
C ( 6 ) DECENT
D ( 5 or 4 ) MEDIOCRE
F ( 3, 2 or 1 ) BAD

My method of rating is based on three main components I just add them up and average the rating. To me nothing is perfect and nothing is completely worthless. A masterpiece has it's flaws and even the worst thing ever created was made by a human like you and me
The first is my own experience. My enjoyment, investment,interest, emotion it evoked, rewatch value and how fulfilling it was.This is completely subjective.
The second is the quality. This is extremely difficult to quantify. Personally I just look at characters, setting, plot, and conflict. I look at the concept it's execution and it's payoff. Doesn't have to be the most profound thing ever. This is as objective as I can get while being biased by point one. Basically themes and such.
The third is iconicity. Basically how much of an influence.this work has been on the medium as a whole on its consumers and on me as a person. It could've inspired another series I love. It could've made me fall in love with the medium more. It could've created a fandom I love being a part of. It could've even made me a better person. This is deeply personal to me.

If you read this far you have wasted your time and I'm very sorry. Please spend it on something more productive. /s.

And thanks! Fujimoto is *definitely* not a perfect author and I have my criticisms (the ending of CSM was, at least for me, a pretty big let down), but it's too bad that so much of the discourse can get caught up in the shock value itself without reaching the deeper messages behind them.

I forget which of us sent the friend request, but in my head I figured it was because we both like Blue Proustian Moment... so it's funny to now learn that wasn't the case 😂 After reading your interpretation I went back and reread the first chapter and you're right, the tension is not only there but presented in a pretty overt way. So if anything, I'm actually surprised that by the end of the manga it feels much more like a "friendship" conclusion than an explicitly romantic one (my headcanon is that the mangaka envisioned a much longer story, but was axed before they could develop things further. At that point, I'm guessing they decided it would be better to not rush into an openly romantic arc and risk botching the landing. If anything, their story is exactly what I wish more slowburn romance stories were actually like: less "will they or won't they" physical moments, and more focus on backstory, inner conflict, and characterization).

That said, I can see how you'd score it a 7 given the length. Sometimes I look at my overall average and wonder if I'm a little too generous? I used to pick up stuff at random but now I'm more picky about what I start, so it's become less common for something to truly flop with me and I think that's driven up my average. Anyway, I hope Emofuu puts out another project in the future because they're clearly talented (and I wish bad luck on whoever canceled it at Shounen Jump).

Sounds good! The remake will be amazing! I cannot wait.

"But I believe in being the change you want to see so I am just distancing myself from such conversations".

This is the right mentality to take in this situation. If people want to see a better society, it starts one person at a time. Rejecting hate, spreading love sounds cliche but its absolutely true. In the short term its impossible to see change, but slowly it does.
Yumacchi Aug 8, 2:20 AM
Yeah, honestly its deeply rooted in our society. Imo, most people just parrot other people's opinions. So when people critique and they disagree they have no internal basis to draw from because their opinion is not their own. This is why people get so hostile. They refuse to debate the issue because they themselves don't understand the problem. While art is completely subjective, there are lines where we can come together and discuss. Internet culture from the early 2000s to now has basically eaten itself. Any opinion outside of the zeitgeist of popular opinions is viewed as objectively "wrong".

Since you have read the One Piece manga. I implore you to check out later arcs of the Toei anime. While early parts like Alabasta were plain looking, later arcs are the complete opposite. Whole Cake up to Elbaph have been some of the best sakuga in the industry. So if you love good animation its a must see imo. I will leave a clip hear for reference but there are probably upward of 10-20 scenes of this quality, in Wano alone. Egghead and Elbaph have been even more insane. At the very least you started the manga and that is commendable.

A lot of people on this website cant cope with the reality that everyone doesnt love their favorite show.
Yumacchi Aug 7, 3:57 AM
Not at all. Feel free to ask anytime. Its nice to be able to put to use all this useless anime knowledge.

I quite enjoyed HxH myself but I have only seen the 2011 version. Obviously its more complete than the older one but that version seems like it had more style in the way it was directed. I need to go back and watch the older one tbh 90's anime just hit different. Death note is good until the second part, that seems to be the majority consensus. I do in fact love Ghibli films. I've seen Grave of the Fireflies, Totoro, Howls Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Kiki, and the Wind Rises. My personal favorites were Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and The Wind Rises. While I love Ghibli's fantasy elements, seeing a more grounded biography about the guy who invented the Japanese zero, felt more profound to me.
In the same breath as Miyazaki, Makoto Shinkai makes some of the most beautiful animated films ever. You may have heard of some of his hits but I'd recommend them all (Your Name, Weathering With You, Suzume, Garden of Words).

The Reze film is actually some of the best animation I have ever seen. Unironically, it should have been nominated for an Oscar for the direction and sound. Unfortunately that never happened because the Hollywood old-heads aren't well versed in anime. I've never seen Paprika but anything Satoshi Kon is probably worth the watch. I'd recommend Perfect Blue from him, its brilliantly directed.

I'll send some more recs down below. Also if you have any genre preferences I can narrow it down more. Enjoy!

- Yu Yu Hakusho (Also written by the creator of Hunter x Hunter, Yoshihiro Togashi)
- Perfect Blue
- Akira
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Psycho-Pass
- Cowboy Bebop
- Samurai Champloo
- Attack on Titan
- Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
- Orb: On the Movements of the Earth
- Dungeon Meshi
- Frieren
- Witch Hat Atelier
- One Piece (Greatest Shounen of All Time imo)

I think being able to appreciate the scale, direction, and sheer effort it took to create a series like this is respectable. I would disagree when it comes to Guts. He is probably one of the most human characters I've read in any story. After Golden Age, Guts is basically functioning on pure hatred just to survive. Its because of this that the secondary cast fills the role of bringing back parts of his humanity. After the trauma he and Casca suffered from.

The story is also told over such a long period of time, even for a manga. Miura changed as a person over time, evident of his visceral change early on compared to the Fantasia Arc. Unfortunately, due mainly from his frequent health issues he would take long hiatus', the story suffers. Much of early Berserk was written together while latter parts were not. Everything involving Studio Gaga, while commendable in wanting to continue Miura's legacy. Can never replace the original. This is just a fact of art. I have never read any of it personally, for me the story ended when Kentaro Miura died.

Glad to hear that even though you didn't love the series, it resonated with you enough to write a review. At least for me, Berserk is unbeaten at showing raw emotion so well that the characters feel real. That and a combination of Miura's work ethic is inspiring. Thanks for sharing! If you are interested in a series that is similar to Berserk but has more a HP Lovecraft-spin on it, check out Centuria.
