Do you even enjoy anime anymore?
By the way, I watched majo no tabitabi a few months ago, and I have to say that I enjoyed reading your review of Majo no Tabitabi.
There is something that bothered me for a long time, in the episode 6 of majo no tabitabi there is a proposition like this:
"A country where no one can tell a lie."
In the episode Elaina tries to solve the problem for a certain magician with trying to get the bodyguard to say this:
"The witch Eyhemia's..expulsion.. is hereby rescinded."
The paradox comes here, what happens if Elaina makes the bodyguard say:
"Every truth is a lie"
-If this proposition is true, then:
Everyone who tells a true would tell a lie and that is false since “in the country no one can tell a lie”
-If the proposition is a lie, then:
-Everyone can lie
Elaina’s reasoning here is "If we wrote down the sentences we wanted to say in fragments then all we had to do was have them read in order." Although at first glance this seems to be an intelligent reasoning on Elaina's part, there is a problem...
If we think of it that way, Elaina can "make" propositions true and that propositions can be contradictory propositions, something that would make the logic that "you can't tell lies" impossible.
So....the conclusion is:
Either there are levels of truth that aren't specified in the anime or maybe that country could never exist (in a logical sense).
The resolution of this can be very simple.
There is no way there could be a country like that in majo no tabitabi....
But then what is the point of the episode?
What do you think about it?
- from your Amagi review
Any other examples of the latter?
