The pacing and characterization have turned to fermented hot dog water. Its like they completely forgot they where portraying him as a fully grown conscientious man in a child's body. Why did it take 2 chapters to convince him he might as well help the weird snake? Why are these spirits...

Did we ever get any indication that her prophecies where especially infallible? It seemed like there where some serious flaws given how the tower raid went. I might have missed something though, someone correct me if I did.

I wonder if this will bomb in Japan because of a disconnect with real world foreigner sentiment ittl be interesting to see

All the Fumiko's in the zoom call watching the one in Michigan get fucked up and taking notes

Even when the Japanese are transgressive, those transgressions are made to fit within a degree of conformity and politeness. But they wouldn't be nearly as interesting without that trait.

Zaller: The Nature and Origin of Mass Opinion. But good guess!

I'll give this a few more chapters but this is losing interest for me. I guess maybe for Japanese, writing spirits or kami like this is agiven, but I really need more characterization than this. "Heres a spirit snake that got its ass slapped with no personality or motivations" okay? I don't care?

My thanks for the chapter As always gentlemen, see you next year :chad: 🥂

Well I would say that for Akira, the whole setting is about time travel so I dont see how its that out of line particularly. Fits the setting fine as a mysterious ability we don't know the principles of And as for the futurists, frankly I'm taking a poli sci class in university and the way their...

Its steeped in topics that most Japanese people would probably consider to be the domain of the deeply mentally ill. Although it seems that's probably about to change lol.

The degree to which this writer maintains a reasonable link between cause and effect is really admirable. I cant even think of an egregious ass-pull that came out of left field thus far, its all pretty grounded in character motivations and events.

TBF his hair is pretty distinct compared to all of these, much more curly and disheveled Very low standard to clear but hey lol

It could earn the title of sincere grimdark if it just stays away from needlessly injecting psychosexual slop as well as the overdosing on wizardry and lodoss member berries.

cyclepath or comically normal momitaka, call it

Some freak out at getting a faint whiff of what this crazy mf dumped all over us in the last series. Looking forward to the letting loose and getting diabolically silly with it until no one knows what they want anymore again.

I have an autism diagnosis, I'm saying this because this character is almost exactly like me. Why are those students obligated to want to hang out with backbone? Itd be one thing if they actually did something nasty, theyre just communicating that theyre getting annoyed. If I freaked out like...

They're not mean, they're enforcing the bare minimum social boundary and backbone feels like shes being attacked, which is absurd. If she weren't a dysfunctional person shed join a literature club and meet people she can do her hypercritical shtick with and find some kind of balance. But instead...

The "these people are normal, I am genuinely the problem here" is the real test. Not a very popular sentiment in western culture. And rather interesting for Japan too because what do you mean you have a problem with normal decent people who aren't doing anything remotely evil to you at all?

And also a bit of a shitty person. She wont accept her own nature nor the boundaries of other people while expecting to be accommodated. But when you're a dumb 16 - 17 year old you don't always know that. I was probably more like her at that age than Id care to admit.
