Here, let me give you a clear, unbiased and level headed assessment of this situation. Originally published on the web novel site Shōsetsuka ni Narō in November 2012, a year later it was announced the series would receive a print release under Media Factory's MF Books imprint with illustrations done by a Pixiv user called Shirotaka. A manga adaptation by Yuka Fujikawa began serialization in the June 2014 issue of Monthly Comic Flapper while three spin-offs were also released. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the tankōbon volumes of the manga for localization in North America. The company also has licensed the original light novels. An anime television series adaptation produced by Studio Bind aired from January to December 2021. A second season premiered in July 2023. Given the decade between release dates, how old are any of the characters? Did the event you're talking about occur in the "present" or the past when it was first written? The ancient Greeks recognized the difference between chronological time (chronos) and subjective time (kairos); do you? Do these characters? Is it even a concept in the universe the characters inhabit? The Kappa effect or perceptual time dilation is a form of temporal illusion verifiable by experiment. The temporal duration between a sequence of consecutive stimuli is thought to be relatively longer or shorter than its actual elapsed time, due to the spatial/auditory/tactile separation between each consecutive stimuli. The kappa effect can be displayed when considering a journey made in two parts that each take an equal amount of time. When mentally comparing these two sub-journeys, the part that covers more distance may appear to take longer than the part covering less distance, even though they take an equal amount of time. Is that what is happening here? I don't think you were prepared to have a long honest look at the concept of time from perspectives not your own. Tachypsychia is a neurological condition that alters the perception of time, usually induced by physical exertion, drug use, or a traumatic event. For someone affected by tachypsychia, time perceived by the individual either lengthens, making events appear to slow down, or contracts, with objects appearing as moving in a speeding blur. I feel I'm getting a wee bit off topic so I'll end it here, for now. But don't think this is over, I have much to to teach you about the concept we call time and how it is linked with space, reality, the mind, the soul and ultimately power. Good day to you sir, or madame, pardon me for assuming your gender, I will bid you adieu.
The thought that even one person read this in it's entirety makes me horny. Here's to everyday villainy! |
