I've read like 10 vol or something long time ago, need catch up. It's decent but not amazing enough to keep thinking about it (which is why I fell so far behind).

Katanagatari is like concentrated Nishio Ishin. At least he is kinder than Ai no Senshi.

From what I read, the novels weren't that great.

It's not incredibly deep and I think the ending is contrived. But it's good fast read.

They tend to average around a 5-6 on a scale of 10 from reviewers. They definitely were meh :p

It's not Kabukimonogatari or anything remotely close, but I think it's better than 5-6, compare to the other stuff out there. I'd give it a 7.5 or 8.

My scale is 5 is lowest score I would follow through whole series, which is a pretty low bar since I have over 2000 vol of light novel on my comp ATM.

Oh just got caught up on the final season of Bloody Monday or whatever. Sort of interesting I guess. Still suffers from a lot of shounen tropes but it at least tries to pretend they're not tropes, and it likes to imitate murican action movies or something which is pretty interesting

Btw Uta it pissed me off when you said "my point is that if you stop thinking with what you're told, the latter case..." First of all that's presumptuous since you're not privy to anyone's thought train but your own. Second of all it's not even self-consistent because merely imploring I read along your lines demands that "I think with what I'm told (by you.)"

And of course when I raise the possibility that Nagito is an unreliable narrator you dismiss it with a laugh and no reasoning. 何の理屈がないって。。話にならないじゃない？

Shauni laying down the truth, kids. Just this one time you should read what he wrote and seriously think about it.

Except he uses those same words to defend Evangelion.

[23:35] <@rolled> ?
[23:36] <@rolled> maybe it came off presumptious but i mean literally the idea was that people have a tendency to stop thinking once they've been given one explanation
[23:36] <@rolled> which is the "creepyness" lol
[23:36] <@rolled> imo anyways~
