I've finished first half of LWA, kind of agree that story eps so far been weaker than non-story. I understand the need for tension in storytelling but kind of wish this was more like K-ON spliced with Harry Potter than it's Harry Potter with a little bit of cute anime girl. Having said all that I could see people railing on the show if it didn't have some kind of tension and plot narrative. Actually there's some deja vu going on here as tonal shifts were a big focus of conversation when 3-gatsu was airing(Waiting for BD so no spoilerino). Again that time I enjoyed the fluffy character relations focused scenes a lot while a big criticism others have is that it didn't "fit" the rest of the show. I wonder if with the method of viewing we now have (binging mostly) that people are becoming more and more likely to prefer narrative focused stories over character/episodic focus. TV series we still see a vast array of styles with shows like Mad men focusing so heavily on characters that often nothing tangible happens a whole episode. Is it a case of anime population is too homogeneous or not big enough yet to allow all these different styles? Is it just a fad we seeing while studios try figure out what works best in the current landscape? Just random thoughts I had while watching LWA. Thought I'd pop in and throw them out since I've been a bit mia here. Well that and Toad is freaking lewd. | ||

Squealer deserved mostly everything that happened to him at the end of the show. Minus the torture. Maybe. You can't even say that he just 'rose against his oppressors' because he murdered, abused and exploited his own kin brutally as well, being just as bad towards his brethren as he was towards the humans that had oppressed him. He was awful and evil. | ||

He was essentially Stalin. The anime community's love of him sickens me greatly. | ||

Don't you get it Numy? If you were treated poorly yourself it gives you a moral carte blanche to commit any atrocity you please towards anyone you want to  Makes perfect sense. But man SSY is still an amazing show. Horribly depressing but amazing. | ||

Something about experimentations, slavery, genocide? and then going off to hide the history of it. | ||

Committing atrocities against your own people and your enemies just because your enemies committed atrocities to you in the past is not justification. The people he's doing all this two are largely innocent of any of this anyway even if you did want to make that kind of justification. They just people who are brainwashed and even murdered if they don't conform to their own society. So here you have two repressed societies by one group. Stalin justified his mass murder and cruelty as him fighting against the opposition(Tzar) while progressing society to a "better place". It's a classic case study of "do the ends justify the means". Generally the conclusion in morality is that the journey of how you reach a destination is as important as the destination itself. That's what drives our moral compass as a society. There's also plenty of examples throughout history of how societies built through cruelty on the ashes of what came before merely repeats the cycle instead of actually creating something better. That's why the French revolution was such an amazing event because they realized the path they were following wasn't going to lead to a better tomorrow and instead tried to change that. Compare that to the USSR and Russia. They just switched one tyrant for another. So Squeelers methods are not only hard to justify but lead to an end result where the queerats aren't even better off. Anyway it just makes me sad. | ||

I didn't know people had to have the same opinion on a piece of fiction to be decent human beings to each other. | ||
