 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |

The magical aspect is unsurprisingly a lot less appealing than in the other Precures, but it's definitely still better than Usagi's Moon Tiara Action in the first Sailor Moon season.

I've actually been wondering myself if I'd finish Futari wa before you finish Smile since I'm quite motivated. I've been trying to get to Precure's roots since Heartcatch after all. Sorry for going all rogue on you. :3 If it's any consolation, I'm thinking I'll make Utena my 200th completion since that's coming up soon. |

| iono, asano gives sex a far more thematic and relevant role in his stories than other people. his entire "a girl on the shore" manga is pretty much predicated on the dichotomy between sex and romantic love (among many other things) and the self-destructive lethargy of a sex-only relationship. in that vein, sex/blowjobs/w.e. are means of control, which I think is something asano gives a fair bit of attention to. the act of sex to asano is not just pleasure, it's a means to assert oneself in a prime position during the course of confrontation, which while may seem a bit obvious, is welcome given no other mango really gives it much thought e: the irony of course being that culturally we think of japan as something that really holds sex/displays of affection as something sort of taboo/lewd to discuss, but it's often the most trivialized element in most stories you find in animu/mango anyway girl on the shore is basically like kuzu no honkai before kuzu no honkai happened and has the luxury of being more aesthetic and not bad also pretty sure it's legit possible to compare his application of the blowjob in his various mango, since it often comes w/ different things: sexual awakening, subservience, dominating, control, madness, etc. |

| I wonder how many years it's been since i last read some Asano |
Ckan said: You haven't read punpun/solanin yet right?I wonder how many years it's been since i last read some Asano Go read those. Most of his other manga are generally just pretty good and inoffensive but don't have the same kind of poignant message or w/e Also probably because they're mostly short stories like hikari no machi and what a wonderful world but.....eh |
| Mmm. I remember liking the short stories, but yeah, it obviously didn't have the impact/desnity niji did everybody seems to like punpun, so it should be good |
| Solanin is more like typical muh youth/difficulty of ascertaining a purpose, and I think it's weaker than something like Tatami Galaxy because it's not as funny and the drama can come off as more contrived. I really liked it, but it warrants a reread at this time I think. But punpun is very good, albeit pretty long and kind of a commitment when you start it. |
| So is nijiji the only one we people don't get? |
| I mean...... People get it obviously. I just think it's the best piece that he wrote, but a lot of people are less sympathetic because they think the non-linearity of it is just pretentious, annoying, or unnecessary. |
| Iono, the great thing about Asano is that there's almost always a superficial layer and something beneath that. Some anime or manga have one or the other. They're either just full on esoteric and trying to be as complex/sophisticated as they can be, or they don't give enough fucks and just go for a very simple and superficial presentation. But even with something as simple as Solanin, I think there's a deeper underbelly to it, not necessarily just a "oh hey we're young and trying to find our way," but more interior look at the artist and sort of what Asano sees as sacrifices that artists/young people make to live a fulfilling life that doesn't compromise artistic integrity. e: in a sense it can be argued that the most contrived parts of solanin are also the parts where asano is unapologetically uncompromising in the presentation of what he thinks are salient artistic values |
| So basically, Asano is like an onion |

Sapewloth said: I mean, no, the reason is because I've been thinking of Asano in terms of a broader piece I'm writing, which includes a Kazuo Ishiguro novel, some Chinese director's rip off of Tarkovsky's Stalker that is literally named A Roadside Picnic, and and Nijigahara Holograph.>all this quality Asano posting all of a sudden should you get drunk more often, zerg? :thinking: I honestly don't know why I'm writing this by the way. 2/3 of these nobody reads and nobody cares about Nijigahara Holograph. :/ Ckan gave it a 9 though. Anyway, Asano does something in Holograph that I think is unique, which is that he cleverly and slowly dissolves the timeline of the story and instead treats time as a living and breathing entity, almost like a character. Like.....in a non-linear story, you still have a fixed timeline. Kuuchuu Buranko, Tatami Galaxy, Steins;Gate, Baccano, people often mistake the non-linearity of it to mean that time is important. In Tatami Galaxy/Steins;Gate they're sort of at the forefront of the "point" of the story, but they are simultaneously more or less just narrative devices used to illustrate a greater point. I think Asano's Nijigahara Holograph touches on something different and arguably more substantial. I think he first acknowledges the idea of past/present/future as being very subjective, and then he decides to illustrate that idea by slowly but almost conspicuously merging past, present, and future together in unexpected ways while trying to maintain the mirage of a coherent non-linear narrative. I think the incomprehensibility of the story is in some senses our brains either consciously or unconsciously grappling with Asano's vision of a time that is at one moment linear and then at the next moment a sort of composite of past/present/future. The reason he does this, I feel, is to illustrate not just the subjectivity of discerning time, but also combining that with acknowledging universal modes of guilt, suffering, adversity, and finally a sort of elation/release from it. |

ReaperCreeper said: oyEvery time I see Zerg's Shelter review. dat ain't cool |
| Gotta keep the meme alive. |

| Speaking of that review, some guy sent me some hatemail but it was in French. It's too bad I can't disclose the actual French, but since Sape translated it and technically she didn't send me that as a PM, and since she's not a professional translator and thus it is not the exact same PM both in wording and potentially intention and tone, here we go: How can one be so childish ? Rating animays 1/10, tbh if you don't like it don't watch it, just shut the fuck up and stop triggering the fans with reviews that make you look like some kind of know-it-all who understands everything about the story. Not a single animay deserves that score and that's a huge lack of respeck on your part. When I dislike an animay, I don't watch it, end of the story, I don't have to rate a show that I don't appreciate. I don't like pokemon for eg, that's no reason for me to just go and give it a terrible score like you do, I just don't watch it. Different shows will reach different kinds of audiences, that's all. Judging from the way you rate stuff, it's clear that you just enjoy triggering the masses; see how you rated Naruto 2, even I who hate it could never give it such a score, but you on the other hand, you clearly enjoy *destroying* animays, cause even after watching all the episodes you go and rate the movies 1/10 to destroy it even more. What kind of SOB even does that? No respeck. Same thing foor Shelter, 1/10, even shitty hentai from the 80s deserve better scores than that. I don't understand people like you, you clearly must have a shitty life irl to be such a POS, you poor bastard... Also full disclosure, I didn't pay attention to the language and naturally assumed it was Spanish when I first glossed over the message at work. rip |
