I watched the third movie too, the extended version.

How did you become agnostic

I generally became more agnostic when I realized that organized religion was just a waste of time and really the whole point of Christianity really never captivated me

I'm not really militant whatsoever because it kinda awful being a dickhead to people who want to believe in a god

The world's greatest pastor's first born son is getting married.

This is a joyous day indeed!

Huh, so Frieren's demons are all basically meant to be interpreted as mazoku. Truly demonic little fuckers! Next thing we know, Naraku from Inuyasha will appear and trick Frieren into thinking Himmel always hated her.

The story about the tanuki mazoku reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman kills Scott Tenorman, makes him into chili, and tricks his parents into eating it! The disparity between maddening depiction and humorous depiction is as thin as South Park just being South Park, but it's definitely wild how similar these are in essence. The real demons were the Eric Cartmans we found along the way.

Morality or the lack of it really must be the greatest distinction between the different kinds of demons. Now that you point it out, it seems to be fairly definitive, even. The Frieren demons are essentially just animals who try to climb the food chain via learned survival behaviors, which is exactly how I see them as well. Turns out we actually do agree on that point! It should have been a bit more obvious to me that they aren't overtly Western demons in hindsight; I've seen Berserk, after all, and these are two entirely different classes of beings.

The Palestine parallel is definitely there, but I don't think that the author was necessarily careless in how it happens to line up with modern geopolitics. I'd say it's merely a victim of happenstance, and that certain undertones can be really hard to navigate. It's still probably the most interesting part of your review to me, though, since I haven't seen anyone else draw that similarity.

Metallic rouge left wanting a better sci-fi, so I've been watching the alien movies for the first time.

I finished the second one today, I'm genuinely impressed by how not dated it is. It's impressive how they made something like this with very little computer generated anything!

I will say though, I am surprised people like the first one as much as the second one, cause I thought the second one surpassed the first in every way. I kind of wish they explored the actual alien ship more cause the little that we saw of it in the first movie looked so god damn cool and unique.

I heard the 3rd and 4th movie aren't as good, but we'll see, so far I have been enjoying them a lot.

Love your Frieren review! The Brotherhood war section is actually comically well represented, I had a few good laughs there. The dust is finally settling on this long war.

I do have to ask about the demon section, though. The way I understand Frieren's demon race, they are conceptualized on the basis of promoting an accurate/authentic take on fantasy demons, which generally seems to be the case for all the races in that world. I write a bit about that in my own Frieren review, so I'm interested that we might disagree here. Would you say that, while the demons are indeed intended to be portrayed as "authentic", that the genocide parallels are mainly a side effect of choosing to represent them this way? And, as you mentioned, that this is exacerbated by bad timing?

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah it really is a shame when you know something could have been so much better if it just had more time.

Though I will say out of my recent watches, the FMA 2003 movie hurt way more for me personally for this exact reason lol

It's been a while since the last time I wrote one, but I just felt like I had to write a review on this new series that ended recently called Metallic Rouge: https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=522907

If you had time, I would appreciate if you could give me some feedback on it!

I used to watch him a lot back in the day. Back when being an aggressive atheist was actually legitimate counterculture. Then he shoved a banana up his ass.

This was also around the same time that I also used to watch Matt Dillahunty. Now I realize that he's just a 55 year old, fat, bald Missourian man with a goatee who doesn't know what a woman is, unironically identifies as a feminist and uses the word "cis-male".

It's kind of sad for me to see the epic downfall and fracturing of the New Atheist movement after GamerGate when I realize there just wasn't much holding all of those people together. Half of them live mentally in this time period 20 years ago where the greatest threat to society are evil rednecks who want to turn society into Gilead and haven't moved on from then.

I liked how Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchins, and even TJ cared about freedom when they did talk about it. But you can't build a stable culture that doesn't evolve with the times and is based on contrarianism and pure spite for the values and world of your grandparents.

Literature HERO ? Ie, Literature N**D:
I open my eyes and thank no god
For all gods are dead to me.
A poet's life, living in empty harmony.
For how could a melody be beautiful
If it does not speak to the soul?
For how could your heart speak honest
If you do not face yourself wholly?
HERO of Literature ? No, N**D of Literature.

Nothing, you are.
O middle man of age, middle man of age,
See to it that you do not forget your highest hope!
O middle man of age, middle man of age,
Why have you forgotten your highest hope?
Blood? Cannot see. Out from your soul? Cannot see.
Honesty? "I" can see. Sincerity? "I" can see.
That "I" can see means the "I" can see.
But your truth? "I" open my eyes and see
Nothing. For nothing is emptiness,
And emptiness is infinity.
Nothing - you are.
