I don't know what program this is, but damn cool, with what appears to be some personalities bringing out character sketches, with PMMM screenies at the back:

Eh, I didn't really find Mami and Kyoko's story that sad (it ended on a far happier note than I thought it would). What I found more depressing was Kyoko's story in general; between her relationship with Mami and her deceptively ordinary home life, you could really feel why her family's death crushed her so horribly. I mean that wasn't something that was ever hard to buy, but seeing it shown in such detail here makes it a lot easier to understand.

Finally watched this one. Dayum. I don't cry easily, but I was blubbering nonstop through the last episode. I think this might be a record for the most depressing series I've ever seen (although I haven't yet seen Evangelion in its entirety).
In the end I thought it's worthy of its praise between its acting and especially its wildly surreal art (yes, I am a fan of surrealism). But I have one question for you fans... I'm not exactly a feminist, and I don't see sexism everywhere I look, however I have been known to read a bit too much into things. Does anyone else see some slightly unfortunate implications in that in this show, females are so beholden to their emotions that they turn into psychic doomsday devices when they get too upset? It's not like males wouldn't suffer the same emotional issues that doomed these girls, but there don't seem to be any magical boys. But no, I don't really think Urobochi is a misogynist who think women are unable to control their emotions. They say the basic purpose of art is to provoke a reaction in the viewer, and he certainly succeeded there. Congratulations, sir, you've created a profoundly moving, heart-rending tale that will go down in anime history, even if you did possibly traumatize your seiyuu cast. |
