Report Sigma-'s Profile

You should watch the Fate Heavens Feels movies. They are really good! ◝(๑꒪່౪̮꒪່๑)◜

I see. Yeah, I agree with VN as a medium's overall slowness. I like reading but they really don't have to include a whole book worth of mundanities to an already large time investment. Higurashi is the one franchise where I will not speak up against it though lol (I think OG Higurashi and Deen adaptation has very different visions, so I can see someone who've first come to love it through its anime be very frustrated with the game, but just in the same way I can't suffer through the anime at all)

Well, then I'll have to check it out.

Looking at your vndb profile, you don't seem to have much love for it yourself apart from her route. If you were to rate that one route alone, what would it be?

❀ Hello Sigma!! ❀
I stumbled across your profile and i want to say i love your favourites.

The moment i saw Shiki i smiled imediately. I love everything about it, the music, the characters, the story. Its just *mua*
Your favourite games is just great, Pokemon Platinum and Soul Silver (tho i played HeartGold). is just a fun experiance.
Persona....im having so much fun with Persona, though im playing Persona 3. I do plan to play 4 once i finished it.

Oh, my name's Wys by the way. It's nice to meet you. :D

When did you first get into anime?
Where are you from?
How are you doing? :)

just passing by, don't mind me

Heaven's feel is bland af. The action's pretty good, but holy shit Sakura is annoying af and the plot itself is nothing special. Ohhhh everyone is dark now, everyone is evil hurr durr that's the whole plot

The main series was pretty ok, everything that came after that has been pretty mediocre, but with amazing visuals and music. So I'm gonna watch the movie for visuals and music alone, lol, like I'm doing with Fate Stay Night Heaven's feel.

Yo, where'd you watch the violet evergarden movie? I can't find it anywhere

For dystopians it's probably best to start with the classics:

- 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell
- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
- We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
- Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

There's various dystopians by Philip K. Dick that might be also be to your liking (I highly recommend Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the novel that Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is based on). For some more recent picks, you have:

- Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
- Slaughter-house Five by Kurt Vonnegut
- Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
- Neuromancer by William Gibson
- The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K Le Guin

Most of these authors have also written plenty more stories so if you're taken at all by their writing style or prose, definitely check out their other work. There's also book series centered around dystopian settings. Some have already been adapted to films (Hunger Games, Divergent), while some are still publishing and development for an adaptation is still in the works (Red Rising by Pierce Brown, Annihilation by Jeff Vardermeer).

I cringe every time whenever someone compares this show to Mushishi.

About what you said in the paragraph, I don't think being predictable is a show's weakness, but being predictable af while still moving on with the show and feigning intelligence is definitely a weakness. Almost all of the show's take on any topic is something that's painfully obvious about that topic.

Eve no jikan had an entirely different take both story wise and direction wise, from Kino's Journey. I think that one review on the top puts it perfectly when it starts with "This is Kino's Journey? I'd rather stay home", lol. This one line, for me, was more entertaining than the whole show.

If you want to see Kino's Journey done right, watch Mushishi.

Yup, that first line describes the show perfectly.

No, wait, the 'first episode' I was talking about is an OVA. That was an ok episode. Kino had killed someone and she meets the murdered guy's mother. That is as close as the show has gotten to become interesting.


>> understand that the people in this show are supposed to be extremely simplified versions of actual human beings, but the show just took it way too far

The show literally feels like it was made for children as it has the perfect themes and situations to teach children some morals, but the show definitely inclines itself towards mature audience and fails miserably. The characters are just so fucking stupid that you can't even take them seriously.


Oh, boy don't even get me started about the dialogue. At the end of every episode there is some sort of eloquent music playing and it feels like something profound is going to be said, but all Kino and her bike do is re-iterate the events that transpired during the episode. Wakanda bullshit is that?

I watched the show after coming across Bob Samurai's review on it, in which he called it a deeply thought provoking piece of art, but the show's kinda retarded.

It's good you didn't continue as it gets even worse. In one episode, Kino, along with some other characters is in a battle royale of sorts in a colosseum. The premise, though I don't remember it, was a pretty good commentary on fate, causality and all, and the episode did a decent job of following through in its first half. In the second half though, everything goes to shit as now the fight actually turns into a battle royale and it turns shounen with people killing others by looking at their reflections in a puddle of water. The worst part is at the end of the episode, I really thought that the show would properly address the topics of fate and causality like it set out to do, but all Kino does is reiterate the premise of the episode, and I was literally thinking "uh... yeah, that's the goddamn premise". Imbecile writing.


The best way I could describe this show is that it's a combination of Psycho-Pass and Mushishi, if Psycho-Pass and Mushishi were written by absolute imbeciles.

Watching Kino no Tabi eh? I remember that failure of a 'philosophical' anime. The first episode was pretty good, it all went downhill from there. What do you think about it until now? I found it to be extremely stupid

Weird, I had the same problem with Yahari ore no Seishun S3 that's why I decided to wait it out. I can't really explain why I liked S2 so much, I just did. Maybe because it reminded me of my school days, and no I was nothing like Hachiman and I still am not in any way similar to him. I never found anyone in the show to be retable, but I still liked the characters as the author wasn't trying to make them edgy af.

I've seen many shows try to create a protagonist like Hachiman and then fail miserably. Classroom of the elite is a good example of this.

Idk, it'll probably take me at least 2 or 3 more months before I decide to watch S3.

I don't really know what the author is trying to do in MiA. It's just all over the place. First of all, the main characters look like 6 year olds so it's really hard to take them seriously. And second, my main problem, is the show follows the "take cute kids and torture them" route, just like Promised Neverland. Still, in Promised Neverland I can imagine why the main cast has to consist of children, but I don't really understand the motif of making children as the main characters in MiA.

People may argue that through the main cast we could see the world through a naive child's eye, but I think that's far from the truth. People empathize more with children, so the author decided to cast children as the protagonists. Speaking of protagonists, they're boring as hell.

The author does do a great job of creating the world inside the abyss, but gets so caught up in his own web of complexities that he leaves the world unexplored and decides to tell tales about the abyss in monologues. It's supposed to be an adventurous show, but I didn't get any sense of adventure.

The whole mitty thing was worthless to me. Overly melodramatic in order to instill a feeling of sadness in the viewers, but I just wanted it to end as it went on for way too long.

Still, the music and the animation are fantastic and so is the villain, until the movie decided to shit on him and make him a typical shounen villain who's "trying to measure his power against someone strong".

Yeah I get it. I'm waiting on Yahari ore no seishun S3 for the same reason.

Speaking of exams, I had mine last week. Finished like 5 shows during my exams, lol. Before exams I didn't feel like watching anything, but as soon as exams hit, I stated binging.

Great Passage, I'm assuming is Fume wo Amu, is a fantastic show. The ending is a bit rushed, though. Didn't really feel Made in Abyss to be anything amazing, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.
