The reason why most literature is shit these days is because most great authors usually live in at least one of these three conditions.
1. Political Persecution
2. War or revolutionary activity
3. Tragic lives

That is perhaps the reason why people like Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Sartre, Twain, and Mishima are great authors. So of course most Japanese authors born post-war are going to be shit.


what lol

not only is that a terribly inaccurate and sweeping generalization, some of your examples don't even fit. shakespeare and twain? both lived in fame and wealth, without sweeping war/revolution, and their lives were hardly tragic.

The Elizabethan Era was more or less a police state. I am not sure if Shakespeare's life was in perpetual danger by spying, but he makes it clear that it is a pretty big deal in Hamlet where spying is ubiquitous.

And Twain lived in wealth, but his father died at the age of 11, three of his siblings died, one of his sons died 19 months old, and he would outlive another one of his children. This sounds like a pretty awful life. Also, the last years of his life were pretty depressing.


separating the autobiographical and the historical/fantastical from shakespeare's writings is a thorny issue, and your naive treatment of it tells me you have had very little exposure/actual knowledge to it ;d

im no expert on twain's life, but if you simply equate the deaths of relatives to tragedy, and by extension literary greatness, then there would be many more great authors than there actually are

indeed, by your metric of tragedy/suffering and its correlation to literary greatness, i would venture that each and every one of us is a dante or a shakespeare or [take your pick]

I am in full agreement with you. Having a one of the three things I listed does not automatically make someone a literary genius. Like you said, if having those three things made you a great author. If that was so, we would see so many more Dostoveysky's and Camus's
Also, I doubt most of us have suffered a police state, government persecution, exile, war, or extreme tragedy.

I think it's pretty good but not that much better than Baccano or Zaregoto. It is kind of a slow ramp up and the anime didn't really do it justice.

Well atleast the anime got rather silly near the end, but that wasnt to unexpected. Hammy ftw though.

ehh I get flashbacks of Nana (not the show) and the fact that it will never be complete, and I get annoyed. Not getting closure on stuff you dont actually like that much but invested time in is personally alot more agonizing.

That was my point originally, when I realised it wasnt going anywhere i just kicked it 4-5 chapters short of the latest one.

Besides it doesnt really sting until I hear that voice.
