But this brings back images of some of the things the Nazis did. It's plenty creepy.

That being said, most people find it "creepy" because the idea of doing that to another human body just turns most people's stomachs (myself included, I'll admit, though seeing it in animated format takes much of the visceral impact of it away). Still, there is a rich poetic irony here. Remember that those are not the bones of some innocent girl...

I have to admit, knowing that Oryo's own fate was no less dehumanizing than that of her own victims had a touch of poetic justice to me. While human bone pipes are indeed creepy, in this particular instance what I feel more is "poetic justice".

But about the Nazi thing, humans killing humans and using the corpse as some kind of trophy is nothing new, is not about "technology is stealing our humanity", if anything technology only enhances it (even if it is ugly to look at). Quote:

and how well we can translate ideas and desires into words or other forms of expressions is the essence of a brilliance, which is the opposite of an eroded mind. |

The interview with that cyborg guy was interesting.
His view of humanity's future progress was unique. Well, it's no wonder he's a psycho as well. Makishima sure has an interesting teacher. Looks like they're not gonna quit killing either.

Determiner of brilliance or eloquence does not equal determiner of "impossible to communicate" Language means your mind must work to use it true, but the aim is to get your intent across. Thought patterns alone suffice for that purpose if that purpose is the sole goal.

Especially when evaluating fiction. I'm sure the irony of Oryo's death and subsequent mutilation is not lost on Gen.

They are disturbing in a sense, but many thinks are disturbing if you think about their essence. All of us eat rotting corpses every day (yes,even vegetarians). I sleep on a bed with a wooden platform (and the door to my house is also made of wood, the rest is made out of stone), which is also a corpse. You might rationalize that trees and humans are vastly different, but we share a lot of dna, we breath air, drink water and required nutrients on a daily basis. |

I know there is a lot of cruelty in the human world but to put what this guy does on a natural level seems a bit odd. And of course people can rationalize and say the girl deserved it because what she did was sick too but what happens when he goes after Kogami or Akane?

In this case, however, I find the extrapolation unbelievable. Facial recognition is an instinctive ability that exists in infants, presumably having evolved over millions of years. By contrast, numbers is a human invention and quite non-standard over different isolated groups. The show is asking to much to believe in that. (It's also rather poor narration to leave this information in a magazine somewhere with not even a hint in the show proper)

A face (or an animal or a building) is something you have already seen, ideas and therefore language are more conceptual in nature. I mean, you know when I talk about 14 km/h, justice, even blue but those are human concepts which can only be represented but do not exist by themselves in real life. In essence if you can't translate an idea into words I think a computer can extract from your brain a novel (or even a sentence) since it is not there. An image (either real or imagined) probably can be extracted into a file. |

No, it's not. The majority of the school still doesn't know that Rikako was the culprit, and even less people know that Makishima was connected to the incident. No one at the school had any particular reason to pay special attention to Makishima.

"To fight 'darkness' (be it criminality and/or the most damaged of psyches) you yourself must learn about darkness. Kogami's swamp analogy was very good at explaining the dangers inherent in this, and how not everybody is up to it."
Welp, you remember Nietzsche's quote earlier in the show about staring into the abyss for too long. That seems to be one of the main philosophies in this series. |
