Rest in Peace

rip :(

R.I.P

Yeah, I hate how everyone does exactly what Junko wants with the worst logic possible. Even her meeting with Mitarai was pure nonsense. It's like they didn't know a way to make this meeting happen, so they just made her talent be some sort of magical power to gather pawns. She even acts like a total psycho when they're together. It would make much more sense if she tried to act like she was interested in his anime, gather the pieces of information necessaries to uses his tecniques and go ahead with her god-awful plan.

Mukuro is also a character who acted out of what was presented in the game, though I guess this is up to debate. She was way too much self-aware of her position as a disposable pawn in the anime, while in the game she was sure that Junko would not kill her (Junko even comments that her expression of surprise was true when she is pierced). If you consider Danganronpa If as canon, it's quite clear that Mukuro was helping Junko because she felt that she, as her sister, was the only person who would stay at her side. There is no way their relationship was abusive like that.

Sakakura's subplot was terrible and I totally agree with you. It would make much more sense if he sacrificied himself, seeing how he was a character with strong convictions and would do everything to help Munakata. And if Junko tried to manipulate him, she could make a threat to kill Munakata and make Sakakura does what she says, although it would still be something hard to buy.

I really can't get behind that Sakakura is pretty much responsible for everything, and that the "Brainwashed Chisa was the mastermind", and Tengan's plan... and just everything. All the pieces which set everything in motion are terrible.

Thank you for understanding! The characterization of Junko was very important for the games to work. The whole point of her having the talent of "Ultimate Analyst" was so that she would able to read everyone and somehow manipulate them, which is why she did the mutual killing games. She wanted the students to reveal their true faces and sink them into despair. And that's what creates the dilemna between hope and despair, because they are conscious decisions.

Also, using the brainwash tecnique was just lazy writing to not corrupt the cast of DR2 and take away the weight of what they did. I love the DR2 cast, but every death had a meaning and they were necessary for the game construction. Too bad most fans ignore that for shameful fanservice.

I suppose in my interpretation he is trying to look smug. The word "trying" is the important part. There was a bit where he chastisised Celty for trying to tell him he didn't know what he was doing that specifically made me think he's being smug. He thinks and believes he knows what's best for him when he's really just acting like a misdirected teenager. But hey, different interpretations and the like.

Boogiepop is still on going.

Psycho Pass is pretty good off the bat, then a certain plot point hits and it gets freaking awesome. I recommend it more now than when I first did. There's a bit of a trigger warning in the first episode though. I don't want to spoil anything, but I want give you more details in a message if you want.

The main female character, Akane, has some amazing development. There's a lot of cool side female characters too. And the male characters are also really interesting.

This anime really messes with me, because the villain actually makes a lot of sense so it really forces you to think (I think, even more so than characters like Light Yagami or Lelouch). I think he's one of my favorite villains ever.

I think I might have liked Ghost in the Shell more if I watched the movie first, because then the world might have made a lot more sense at first. I plan on watching the first movie one day and then from there deciding if I want to watch anything else in the series. But, it's not high on my priority list.

Yeah, Scrapped Princess does have a problem with most of the female characters being . . . well endowed. I get having a few, but having every female built like that is unrealistic. Other than that, though, I don't have any issues with it. But I get not watching it right away, then you just get irritated because you want to move onto things you looked more forward too.

vvv Scrapped Princess is really good!

I love fantasy (my favorite genre), so I'd recommend Scrapped Princess. She's wearing more of a bodice with unattached sleeves (I had to look it up, it's been awhile). The clothing is a bit weird looking (and everyone has large boobs), but they're not bouncing around or anything, just there.

It's actually really low on the fanservice side and the main character is pretty cool and she has a sister-figure who's also cool in support. There's a tone of side female characters that are interesting. There are some problematic elements, but they're limited to one side female character so that feels a bit nit-picky.

The conversation in the thread has moved on, but I'll answer your question about if I think Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is worth watching here instead (Also, I'd feel bad posting a personal mini-review of a show on a board not about that :)

Anyways, the outfit she wears is really obnoxious and there's lots of robot dolls lying around getting used as sex toys and they also get revealing outfits and stuff . . .

But, I think the anime is worth watching. It's not my personal favorite thing since I didn't really care for any of the characters and is famous for it's confusing "technobable," but it had interesting ideas and the Laughing Man (who is the thread throughout the season) is really interesting. The whole world is pretty cool and I definitely want to watch the first movie, but it didn't make me want to add the whole franchise to my "to-watch" list or anything.

Though, if you want something of a similar feel, I'm enjoying Psycho-Pass so far a LOT more than GitS. There's no fanservice (so far), it's a lot less confusing, and the female lead seems really promising (and there's more than 1 named female character in the entire show, which is always a plus).

Yeah, it was definitely missing that scene. But the real question is, was it less important than the scene where two Russians talking while one of them spat out some words-shaped ice blocks?

Not in the anime. Because in the anime, Aoba did not see Celty jumped out of the balcony. Just watch it again in episode 11.
