Check Out These Shows!</title><description><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> With Valentine's Day only a few days away, you might want to watch something romantic with your significant other. Or maybe you'd like to watch a nice rom-com to get your mind off the fact that it's yet another lonely year. Either way, we've got you covered! Whether you want a pure romance, a dramatic one, or one filled with erotic love, check out our Valentine's Day bingeable recommendations.</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">Falling in love for the first time is one of the most exciting moments in one's life. As a tidal wave of foreign emotions floods us. It's easy to be hesitant and worry about whether our love will be reciprocated. After all, with our first real foray into romance. So comes our first foray into heartbreak. And few shows capture those highs and lows like 'The Dangers in My Heart' (Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu). While the first couple of episodes might scare off some people as it goes over how the male MC talks about wanting to murder the female MC, Skipping the show over this would be a disservice to oneself. It is a masterclass in character development and genuinely shows how feelings can develop in the right circumstances. The Dangers in My Heart is a must-watch for anyone into school romances.</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">&nbsp;</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFywQLFoPAzfm4W-gR9F9kFBDts8rwZeWf8M6-aYS6OcM-utXSATZb2M7xjuY04vrOFs5BKjq0kxvK1gB47OAzVbMHH875w9E5QF3BiLobt-cMH2nIcQGWR94AgvOniXEq3Yl9BCRw5yuduFNJ622sfDww4NxFtDLFsQ19MltJrB0HoXsUl5kn1BZvuxE/s1920/Screenshot%20(9818).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFywQLFoPAzfm4W-gR9F9kFBDts8rwZeWf8M6-aYS6OcM-utXSATZb2M7xjuY04vrOFs5BKjq0kxvK1gB47OAzVbMHH875w9E5QF3BiLobt-cMH2nIcQGWR94AgvOniXEq3Yl9BCRw5yuduFNJ622sfDww4NxFtDLFsQ19MltJrB0HoXsUl5kn1BZvuxE/w640-h360/Screenshot%20(9818).png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">© The Dangers In My Heart<br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">&nbsp;</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">Did you know that there are several different types of love? The most playful of these is 'Ludus.' For those unaware, that is the name given to what most people would refer to as "cute love." where both partners often flirt and tease each other. In marriages, it is this type of love that is present in the honeymoon phase. And few shows capture this as perfectly as Tonikawa.</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">&nbsp;</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">&nbsp;How would you describe the perfect way to ask someone to marry you? Well, if your reply wasn't nearly getting isekaied by truck-kun and then asking a stranger to go out with you. Only to then have her say she'd go out with you on the condition that you marry her. You didn't answer that correctly. That's exactly how Tonikawa starts. But rest assured, that outlandish meet cute gives us one of the best married romance stories in anime. And we enjoy that innocent and playful romance over two seasons!</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Lh5IY8QxbuTg3cp8GkLQPhKT4unOBvUpQNBK3a2oqDsb3UFPYf05zRnaD8qbzhzK0JClAHmE7EzEU7mz7MzU9uIKGKEfyIYXOmL-_4WsInIEw456JQgFpwcVJc_H_neW1dulfchhqcMk4bhZ1_VYv2L1w2acs50V-uSp1EmEsKVQqKCwR9vHfyBGEHU/s1240/Tonikawa-S1E1-Lead-Pic-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="697" data-original-width="1240" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Lh5IY8QxbuTg3cp8GkLQPhKT4unOBvUpQNBK3a2oqDsb3UFPYf05zRnaD8qbzhzK0JClAHmE7EzEU7mz7MzU9uIKGKEfyIYXOmL-_4WsInIEw456JQgFpwcVJc_H_neW1dulfchhqcMk4bhZ1_VYv2L1w2acs50V-uSp1EmEsKVQqKCwR9vHfyBGEHU/w640-h360/Tonikawa-S1E1-Lead-Pic-2.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">©Tonikawa</span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;</span></td></tr></tbody></table>&nbsp;</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">Sometimes, though, romance isn't just warm fuwa-fuwa feelings. Sometimes, chasing the person you love can hurt. With that said, how far would you be willing to go to be with the person you believe to be 'the one?' How much would you be able to take if it led to being with the person who completes you? That's a question that Fruit Basket's Tooru Honda has to contend with daily.</p> <p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">Life can be pretty unfair at times, and due to circumstances beyond her control, Tooru finds herself living alone in a tent after her mother passes away. As she's discovered by the family that owns the property she's currently camping on. She's offered a new home and family. But she soon realizes that her life has taken quite the Fortean turn, and with it comes an unexpected encounter. One that leads to a difficult but rewarding love.</p> <p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">A note on this show is that it has two separate shows. The original aired in 2001 and consists of 26 episodes. And the fully adapted reboot spanning three seasons (63 episodes.) It's a longer watch, for sure, but it's an epic journey every step of the way.</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJWyt2EeRNKUQkCdLVpqT7W2I9KKUe8kakFIlEs6Lqftr9B-lu6SWNkQ-usdAV9dCTvgFlg8PkQT6u6v3i1aBUaA03Tu0ClBQRo4ShOc5GPWpFIynFLNYbC3J1GsCJsbWRBm7zg1CapfF8GiLSXuQDyQIaXXJyvBdX4oCQqHRqXfTtiUpMpXKju94rlUU/s1920/16392808.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJWyt2EeRNKUQkCdLVpqT7W2I9KKUe8kakFIlEs6Lqftr9B-lu6SWNkQ-usdAV9dCTvgFlg8PkQT6u6v3i1aBUaA03Tu0ClBQRo4ShOc5GPWpFIynFLNYbC3J1GsCJsbWRBm7zg1CapfF8GiLSXuQDyQIaXXJyvBdX4oCQqHRqXfTtiUpMpXKju94rlUU/w640-h360/16392808.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">©︎ Fruits Basket<br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">Romance is difficult, even when everyone accepts what you're doing as naturally. Now imagine how much harder it is for a same-sex couple with all the stigma and homophobia that is sadly still present in the world. Imagine how it must feel to realize that you're attracted to a person that others would not approve of. Now, imagine how it must feel to start to fall in love with someone of the same sex as you while you thought yourself to be aromantic.</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">Well, that's the story that Bloom Into You (Yagate Kimi ni Naru) covers so well. The story follows Yuu Koito and Touko Nanami. A first-year and student council president in a somewhat convoluted fake relationship to fill the void in Touko's heart ends up bearing fruit in both girls as they realize that even pretend emotions can quickly become real.</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">Sex gets the short end of the stick nowadays. For some reason, it's perfectly fine to show violent content all around and blast violent news 24/7, but show a boob and its outcry. Sexual attraction isn't a bad thing; it's a part of life, one as natural as breathing. For a lot of couples, even before intimacy, sexual playfulness is one of the healthiest ways to bond. After all, getting aroused by someone you love is part of the overall deal.</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzHo-nfW9ciDMLjzLtfvSLqPKqNj_XYL-2rg-5RPv9nUxrqg-fuSPMawZrdbS_ZcrNRqT-ZnILQviwG7_E_paVNhUNqHuVGjWcd9a5fk5boKH3ZU2JPP-W9ECp4LVY-VWsuZFQjbLY_aXab9thBVTpC_OyqbxBlwsBypH9K1bD5z58xOYGq4tEYMSADNQ/s1280/maxresdefault.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzHo-nfW9ciDMLjzLtfvSLqPKqNj_XYL-2rg-5RPv9nUxrqg-fuSPMawZrdbS_ZcrNRqT-ZnILQviwG7_E_paVNhUNqHuVGjWcd9a5fk5boKH3ZU2JPP-W9ECp4LVY-VWsuZFQjbLY_aXab9thBVTpC_OyqbxBlwsBypH9K1bD5z58xOYGq4tEYMSADNQ/w640-h360/maxresdefault.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">© Bloom Into You</span> </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">So say you want something a little bit ero and a little bit fun.

As robots became increasingly similar to humans, people's perception of these robots underwent significant changes, depending on their level of realism.</span></p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">A robot with human features that was far from human triggered a favorable response from people seeing it. But when a robot became too realistic but retained some imperfections, it brought about unease and anxiety. This response came to be known as the "Uncanny Valley" hypothesis.</span></p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Little did Mr. Mori realize that in trying to understand an emotional effect, he had just given name to a feeling that had been part of the human zeitgeist for time immemorial.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">While the work of Mr. Mori was far removed from the realm of the paranormal and cryptozoological, his hypothesis held a lot of weight in other scenarios. Negative responses to human-like things aren't unique to robotics. Human-like dolls, wax figures, sculptures, and even people dressed like clowns and mimes trigger feelings of deep unease or downright phobia in some.</span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbotoB-1gEKmkFeKynbqovVIsxaqvO_5QvSf0MI2B5dWyPCa7AIrIHFggVPOz8b7pnSjKU-Jb6anmLChlAczo-p4ZecsFYxLMoyWE3ac123duOlcWFHaXlU1mzyRUz_x4edN7JpqsfakZHoVAUgk-yWflIYz5AqMTrba5CKAscBXwhAaHUMS5dBMti14U/s1920/25859533.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbotoB-1gEKmkFeKynbqovVIsxaqvO_5QvSf0MI2B5dWyPCa7AIrIHFggVPOz8b7pnSjKU-Jb6anmLChlAczo-p4ZecsFYxLMoyWE3ac123duOlcWFHaXlU1mzyRUz_x4edN7JpqsfakZHoVAUgk-yWflIYz5AqMTrba5CKAscBXwhAaHUMS5dBMti14U/w640-h360/25859533.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">© Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tuskasa/Shohakukan/ "Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">But why is that, and more importantly, does that reaction have any logical reason to be there? Well if you're open-minded enough to believe in the speculative theories surrounding the co-opted version of this theory, it ultimately boils down to the impact of our evolutionary memory.</span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">What is evolutionary memory, you ask? In its most basic sense, evolutionary memory denotes that specific behaviors can be inherited across generations through evolution. An example of this is a deer mouse's aversion to open landscapes. When a deer mouse that has never been in a meadow is suddenly placed in one, it panics. This fear response stems from an understanding that being out in the open makes individuals more vulnerable to depredation, even though it has never been in such a position.</span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In the case of humans, the distrust of anything that's almost human but not quite human may stem from the fact that during our evolution, human-like beings posed a threat to our continued survival. Whether this memory is due to us needing to be wary of other hominids that once lived alongside us</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> or of some supernatural being depends on who is touting the idea. </span></span></span></span> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAgKqGh5H0Gn7lMSHrs7WXLF7gcQO6EX8T_R3mVbrzovU8Pe7tzmjNSiYvxaDUXPyHedRu2FBrPLUAWnUN5Gnmv1qXrXHTqUvWtmM_0PGNKdD5XAMI-MX3nFHod6YamDgtzhyKz2v54ef-FAx7FwqrL8CGnlLHP-chU5bSOot-lU7voxIUEJbhdkndaM0/s1920/25859887.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAgKqGh5H0Gn7lMSHrs7WXLF7gcQO6EX8T_R3mVbrzovU8Pe7tzmjNSiYvxaDUXPyHedRu2FBrPLUAWnUN5Gnmv1qXrXHTqUvWtmM_0PGNKdD5XAMI-MX3nFHod6YamDgtzhyKz2v54ef-FAx7FwqrL8CGnlLHP-chU5bSOot-lU7voxIUEJbhdkndaM0/w640-h360/25859887.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">© Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tuskasa/Shohakukan/ "Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <h2 style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b>Where Humans Go, Demons Follow;</b></u></span></h2> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Can something be fictional if an immeasurable number of people and cultures believe in its existence?

Let's consider the phenomenon of psychogenic pain, where stress, grief, or mental unease causes real pain in a person even though there is nothing physically wrong with them.</span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">No amount of imagination can make the intangible a reality. But deep belief in something is more than enough to bring about real-life repercussions. This becomes even more indubitable when a lack of knowledge contributes to our views on the abstruse.</span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Modernity has a way of dampening our understanding of the past. Modern humans may laugh at the notion that illness is caused by miasmas and evil spirits. But for those who lived before we comprehended germ theory, those things were irrefutable. </span> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Our historical ignorance of the natural world may have led to our conviction in the supernatural. During ancient times, an individual beset by mental afflictions that manifested as unpredictable or aggressive would frequently be attributed to the work of otherworldly powers. After all, there was no way to ascertain that an impairment in the brain, stemming either from trauma or illness, was the underlying cause. Humans are and always have been social creatures, this is because early in our development we needed each other in order to survive. So anything that went outside social norms and against one's community was aberrant behavior. <br /></span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvu5Iu5lOIzRrk9mhEKwjKdkfG_rFMQRQvXEgTcZj5AtplaAEF48cWGIUUkQ7ndAP23ohfOTG7w7o3UTyG3A8nDHvec5Lj60U0bkVpImBX9KBizq8NCTeD8l71gnAkgwLND6xSSZRwZNm38v2bCyhKkOSBzB-qa8hXrn7sZBjrEzGnI9hDhNDccVq62z0/s1920/25859347.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvu5Iu5lOIzRrk9mhEKwjKdkfG_rFMQRQvXEgTcZj5AtplaAEF48cWGIUUkQ7ndAP23ohfOTG7w7o3UTyG3A8nDHvec5Lj60U0bkVpImBX9KBizq8NCTeD8l71gnAkgwLND6xSSZRwZNm38v2bCyhKkOSBzB-qa8hXrn7sZBjrEzGnI9hDhNDccVq62z0/w640-h360/25859347.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">© Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tuskasa/Shohakukan/ "Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee<br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Considering this, and then carefully pondering the detrimental impact that mental health lapses have on motor functions and personal appearance, one can easily infer that prehistoric humans could have perceived such individuals as distinct from the norm and possibly feared them.</span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWHJf66t_BB6pvXJTIrNSjmGZDqUzbRwIOrmsL0wIlC_t3CZCVEVOi_DjHfNktRXemQ9kcXevDCYoo-f6ChBRXH5p8FZ416pENEGeh6oukBTrBokJjxbYAp3aMta8KXRiJDcsURWBWXcpKTqyG5FNYugMaH8OTK0oDqo9COmW-44SN6rUoEUCgNS8q_PM/s1920/25859361.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWHJf66t_BB6pvXJTIrNSjmGZDqUzbRwIOrmsL0wIlC_t3CZCVEVOi_DjHfNktRXemQ9kcXevDCYoo-f6ChBRXH5p8FZ416pENEGeh6oukBTrBokJjxbYAp3aMta8KXRiJDcsURWBWXcpKTqyG5FNYugMaH8OTK0oDqo9COmW-44SN6rUoEUCgNS8q_PM/w640-h360/25859361.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">© Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tuskasa/Shohakukan/ "Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Similarly, other aberrant behaviors that continue to exist in modern society, like murder or cannibalism, would have been even more sensationalized in the past than they are today.

They may fight us for territory or resources. But humans do that among themselves. If the argument is that they kill us, we kill other humans too. They're not even all that strong. In most anime worlds, a person can 1 on 1 a demon. </span> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">But the demons in Frieren earn their reputation. Here, we are not merely faced with a nuisance but a genuine and significant threat. Demons in this world are true hyper-predators.

There's a reason why predatory animals don't kill as many humans as they can. That reason is fear. Most animals instinctively avoid things they're unsure of. </span> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">However, in the absence of fear, they recognize that humans are a source of food. In this scenario, they can quickly rack up a high body count. Notably, man-eaters such as the Lions of Tsavo, The Leopard of Panar, the Njombe lions, and the Champawat Tiger have collectively been responsible for the deaths of over 100 individuals each. In total, these 19 animals alone account for a death toll surpassing 2400 human lives.</span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">When you take a moment to consider that animals with a cognitive function that's less than ours managed to cause so much bloodshed.

During an attack, if a predator fumbles or fails to cover all its bases, it can quickly go south for them, and here is where the demons in Frieren fall short.</span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk7jSn08pRQhm1eeTC19ExGWMT8ol4TLfnfr6DLKD7ViQ_s8Su_S9qHN3VU9mqQlML8sANIMC8t3i7Xne2LUxysuIDuY5wOvLvtJYDAGUOqymk6k-0T95HIrSUtUTeyY8kSvQzba6RO-NwYH-8dftkZYWgl4cdTnaoxpXZMlryE0hhNXnBTaXDdJVKbEU/s1280/maxresdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk7jSn08pRQhm1eeTC19ExGWMT8ol4TLfnfr6DLKD7ViQ_s8Su_S9qHN3VU9mqQlML8sANIMC8t3i7Xne2LUxysuIDuY5wOvLvtJYDAGUOqymk6k-0T95HIrSUtUTeyY8kSvQzba6RO-NwYH-8dftkZYWgl4cdTnaoxpXZMlryE0hhNXnBTaXDdJVKbEU/w640-h360/maxresdefault.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">© Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tuskasa/Shohakukan/ "Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Certain behaviors cannot be learned in solitude.

The more powerful the demon, the more it's respected. Therefore, humility for a demon only goes one way. They're only ever respectful of those who they think are more powerful. This is evident when Lügner only looks at Frieren after her failed attack. At no point does his attention stray from here because there's no reason for him to worry about anyone else. </span> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This disregard for "lesser beings" ultimately proves to be a downfall of their own making. Because demons pride themselves on both magic and strength, concealing their capabilities is akin to blasphemy for them. While it may seem like it, this is not technically narcissism. Throughout the natural world, displaying one's strength is paramount to a comfortable survival. The stronger you are, the less likely anything else will bother you. This principle also seems to apply to demons.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">However, this logic only works when everything else adheres to it, and as Flamme explains to Frieren, oftentimes times it is foolish to fight head-on. Ambushes, deception, and asymmetric fighting favours survival more than direct confrontation, especially when dealing with a stronger foe. This is something that demons fail to consider. </span> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx86R5H1LNem0d24FmcAutRfsx0_4vsWYN5kG9x8yCikzov_ehKiu8ZUEdvimkXV8rmqpLLA7u4QuHos3Ubu7y1sdKV1u11YqnPj3BqdyaKik2TBs2zoU-2RtN_dzmLTSGH0WrntAF4835Sbe0hkcHhDE4_p0VrjzOk3ghGF51nITqPDlSUBf4J1udu2c/s1920/Screenshot%20(4492).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx86R5H1LNem0d24FmcAutRfsx0_4vsWYN5kG9x8yCikzov_ehKiu8ZUEdvimkXV8rmqpLLA7u4QuHos3Ubu7y1sdKV1u11YqnPj3BqdyaKik2TBs2zoU-2RtN_dzmLTSGH0WrntAF4835Sbe0hkcHhDE4_p0VrjzOk3ghGF51nITqPDlSUBf4J1udu2c/w640-h360/Screenshot%20(4492).png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">© Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tuskasa/Shohakukan/ "Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br /> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Because of their views, suppressing their mana and appearing weaker than they actually are is inconceivable to them.

While we may have units of measurement that help us describe the passage of it, as a species, we honestly have nothing that helps our perception of it. Time is something that is truly beyond our scope of comprehension. After all, how can an animal that lives up to 125 years at most understand what it's like to exist for 500 years, for 1000 years, or for 10,000 years?</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">While immortality is oftentimes romanticized and coveted. The downfalls of longevity are, for the most part, blatantly overlooked. Maybe this is because we, as a species, understand that our concept of immortality is impossible to achieve. In the future, we may be able to find a way that allows our consciousness to live far beyond our meat suits. There is nothing we can do to ensure we see the end of time in the body we were born with.</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">While some species in nature achieve unimaginably long lifespans, some are even technically immortal. Immortality has never graced a sapient species. But that begs the question: if a sapient being could achieve immortality, how would they see the world? And more importantly, how would they function in relation to it?</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">&nbsp;<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7jhRTrOtepfRkWqE21ODX5QLC__ppfX8Br1TZhnGr9FgfMGMFhJyZmK9TbzEyIGCsBEamM-bnoqALOU3mI9Wd_FY1n-384p0-f0NhDNzOy48y2KfpnaADMOQS_wC3rTc7WqHyi_HowVbAxxZ5NaWfR4slci2e21l-iaXmdD1KfWafEuWjnYhlLpWV8BE/s1920/25855522.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7jhRTrOtepfRkWqE21ODX5QLC__ppfX8Br1TZhnGr9FgfMGMFhJyZmK9TbzEyIGCsBEamM-bnoqALOU3mI9Wd_FY1n-384p0-f0NhDNzOy48y2KfpnaADMOQS_wC3rTc7WqHyi_HowVbAxxZ5NaWfR4slci2e21l-iaXmdD1KfWafEuWjnYhlLpWV8BE/w640-h360/25855522.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">©</span></span></span></i><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tsukasa/Shogakukan/"Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee</span></span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p> <h2 style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-size: medium;"><i><u><b>The Journey’s End and a Reflection of Time</b></u></i></span></h2><p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>&nbsp;<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy7XsLy68yuvWZQnsPmePuy6h_fvoRAJ64jA-S_4rE1NkcGC9xUtVG3BmXI5TXsBuh2TFfz9C4x7IroHBvx8Bcmszbr8ela2YMg1moX65yoUD6d2eeMV36j4GFsNDXzHEMhHcyK8XPU15NKDwetKQmDWyDT3zKO3t2f2j8ii7fz0jssoS1YkuI5a2dpQM/s1920/25851596.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy7XsLy68yuvWZQnsPmePuy6h_fvoRAJ64jA-S_4rE1NkcGC9xUtVG3BmXI5TXsBuh2TFfz9C4x7IroHBvx8Bcmszbr8ela2YMg1moX65yoUD6d2eeMV36j4GFsNDXzHEMhHcyK8XPU15NKDwetKQmDWyDT3zKO3t2f2j8ii7fz0jssoS1YkuI5a2dpQM/w640-h360/25851596.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">© Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tsukasa/Shogakukan/"Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee<b><br /></b></span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></i></span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">From the very beginning, Madhouse treated Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End with a lot of love.

While her party reminisces, she bluntly states that the journey took a mere ten years. It is important to note that while her dismissive attitude may come off as abrasive, her tone and cadence reflect no hostility.</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">For humans, a decade is a long time, especially if we assume that in their world the average lifespan also mirrors ours, which is an average of 80 years. The span of a decade is nothing to scoff at. While dwarves live longer, ten years is also not lost on them. But for Frieren, this amount of time is so insignificant that it doesn't even warrant a footnote.</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">In a beautiful moment of subtext, as the part bids farewell, a meteor shower lights up the sky overhead. This is a wonderful little nod to show that human life comes, shines brightly for a very short time, and then disappears. Here, Frieren's inability to comprehend short amounts of time once again becomes the focus of the scene when she mentions that she knows a better spot to view this phenomenon, and in fifty years she'll return to take her companions to that spot. It's easy to see the discomfort in the group at this remark; after all, by this time, both Himmer and Heiter are in their 20s.

She laments not having taken the time to know her deceased companion in a more in-depth manner. And as the group once again bids farewell, Heiter jokes about his own mortality, causing deeper introspection on her part. Frieren then tries to persuade Eisen to travel with her, as she intends to learn more about humans, but he mentions that with his age, he'd only slow down. As another time skip occurs (this time 20 years), Frieren and Heiter are reunited once more, up until his death, gaining a new companion along the way.</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtwLjluXEBQOknIyVfLff1nE2SRHOOPAfVtb0oUefTJan4yDeCUd8BkSJuMRr_rtwjhVSTvcQzKD51Wz1OH2w7QtEvxftJDM2YhEUmMYkSqGG6qTlqj2NuPel11gi-le5JLRC4tJnAp4U90Lb2w_fXXwgVPf-FSK1pUDPGQoQBIM_DTCNK5XF9gqq8mBk/s1920/25852512.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtwLjluXEBQOknIyVfLff1nE2SRHOOPAfVtb0oUefTJan4yDeCUd8BkSJuMRr_rtwjhVSTvcQzKD51Wz1OH2w7QtEvxftJDM2YhEUmMYkSqGG6qTlqj2NuPel11gi-le5JLRC4tJnAp4U90Lb2w_fXXwgVPf-FSK1pUDPGQoQBIM_DTCNK5XF9gqq8mBk/w640-h360/25852512.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">©</span></span></span></i><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tsukasa/Shogakukan/"Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee</span></span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table>&nbsp;</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><u><b>An inability to understand does not equal a failure to understand.</b></u></i></span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>&nbsp;</i></span></p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">As a society, we tend to conflate ideas that are, in all honesty, not intertwined. For example, a common fallacy is believing that failure and inability are one and the same.</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">Failure translates to trying to do something but being unsuccessful. To attempt it, there needs to be an understanding of the matter that you are trying to accomplish. On the other hand, being unable to do something means you cannot even attempt it. Think of it this way: there is a flag on the top of a difficult-to-scale hill. Person A, someone who has mountaineering knowledge, tries to reach the flag but, due to inclement weather, is unable to reach it; this person has failed to do so. Person B, on the other hand, has no formal training in mountaineering and, to add to this has health issues that prevent them from trying to summit the hill. This person did not fail at getting the flag; they are unable to do so. An attempt cannot even be made.</p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">In this story, that distinction is of the utmost importance, as Frieren does not fail at understanding her companions and how they view their own time, but she's unable to do so. For a being that can exist until an external factor removes it from the equation of existence, the passage of a year, a decade, and even a century is inconsequential.</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">&nbsp;</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;"></p> <h2 style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><u><b>A quest to fill time...</b></u></i></span></h2><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><u><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></u></i></span></p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">Even the most exciting thing, once repeated, becomes dull and lackluster.

Now imagine trying to fill the void of time if you had a hundred more years in your earthly coil, then add a hundred more, and another hundred. Quickly, this becomes problematic. Luckily, for some of us, getting lost in a hobby can quickly become a rabbit hole, and the more inquisitive of us will keep on digging no matter how much time we're given.</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">&nbsp;</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcJUDFNoZH299hNg12IniL4W86EU4vLBHCzsHNrRqNwBOYt3UlaxoZYdpIxYgmjXCge9VyfKSz3ITN_JRqoJj8T-btUzSd-hZJevvsqImhb5vFZ4ockwhQiPRrw9nHnZlCi2PrLojCXItV4wjnJ3ue5LS6GLEzzeVM_j7rNCwxgkJN3O5-3suxMu3DJIc/s1920/25854749.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcJUDFNoZH299hNg12IniL4W86EU4vLBHCzsHNrRqNwBOYt3UlaxoZYdpIxYgmjXCge9VyfKSz3ITN_JRqoJj8T-btUzSd-hZJevvsqImhb5vFZ4ockwhQiPRrw9nHnZlCi2PrLojCXItV4wjnJ3ue5LS6GLEzzeVM_j7rNCwxgkJN3O5-3suxMu3DJIc/w640-h360/25854749.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">©</span></span></span></i><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tsukasa/Shogakukan/"Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee</span></span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p> <p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0.08in;">Frieren, to begin with, all the time in the world does exactly this.

Well, anyone who has lost someone near and dear to them would probably sell off a part of their soul to talk to them again, but there's more to it than just sentimentality or closure. Some parts of yourself can only be understood by facing uncomfortable or painful moments. Likewise, gaining a deeper understanding of someone can only be achieved by openly talking with them.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.08in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-size: small;">At the beginning of the story, Himmel states that his enthrallment with statues is less egotistical and more of a way to comfort Frieren after they are gone.

While Frieren herself was not aware of it as yet, this was a beautiful little gesture to grant her some comfort as she later on tries to grasp something that will be quite the challenge for her to understand.</span></p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.08in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.08in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: small;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ1IntPtOOg5OlpI9L7-QBqP2Cs812ItXazU4v6hFh7ywUSZON26Z_7A0GHrX12tlkW7c1Szy8Hg9iUulzNDyIMskcaZJbcMcSzYTz3JJVgbg4wajHt_B0_Zn79ZtxRsiyOhGQoAiMfvWeRZWuw0wSs4Qrg69BRMXr_oEHh_-vHAb03fdGgUfEmfDtILY/s1920/25854910.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ1IntPtOOg5OlpI9L7-QBqP2Cs812ItXazU4v6hFh7ywUSZON26Z_7A0GHrX12tlkW7c1Szy8Hg9iUulzNDyIMskcaZJbcMcSzYTz3JJVgbg4wajHt_B0_Zn79ZtxRsiyOhGQoAiMfvWeRZWuw0wSs4Qrg69BRMXr_oEHh_-vHAb03fdGgUfEmfDtILY/w640-h360/25854910.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">©</span></span></span></i><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Yamada Kanehito, Abe Tsukasa/Shogakukan/"Sousou no Frieren" Production Committee</span></span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />&nbsp;</span></p> <p></p></description><link>https://www.anitoonsplus.com/2023/11/frieren-candid-look-at-immortality.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jon Pierre Kristov)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7jhRTrOtepfRkWqE21ODX5QLC__ppfX8Br1TZhnGr9FgfMGMFhJyZmK9TbzEyIGCsBEamM-bnoqALOU3mI9Wd_FY1n-384p0-f0NhDNzOy48y2KfpnaADMOQS_wC3rTc7WqHyi_HowVbAxxZ5NaWfR4slci2e21l-iaXmdD1KfWafEuWjnYhlLpWV8BE/s72-w640-h360-c/25855522.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643958199086458519.post-8121036733848931091</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Nov 2023 14:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2023-11-08T22:50:58.306+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">News</category><title>'Classroom of the Elite' Season 3 receives teaser trailer, airs January 2024</title><description><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjspZc0aePmoxHQtBh250JUpvruh0z8Q7m23s6qxb5qzCvuRoe01TLB2E9gjUKDXxYVsOxiW6RfifGV1klsOx7GgYMxhcIc9OQqxsFDk8Kxq2DRtHYzHXF7LqMD3xqza-QqujYj80SZZFQc3CndEBF9zCe5OtEtX75-LDn0jwIXgXtNaQR50WDqZNuhpVz/s1366/anitoonsplus-cote-s3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjspZc0aePmoxHQtBh250JUpvruh0z8Q7m23s6qxb5qzCvuRoe01TLB2E9gjUKDXxYVsOxiW6RfifGV1klsOx7GgYMxhcIc9OQqxsFDk8Kxq2DRtHYzHXF7LqMD3xqza-QqujYj80SZZFQc3CndEBF9zCe5OtEtX75-LDn0jwIXgXtNaQR50WDqZNuhpVz/w640-h360/anitoonsplus-cote-s3.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>Following a key visual reveal on October 25, a new material has been teased for the much-anticipated upcoming installment of Classroom of the Elite.

Ambivalence for these shows is rare, as fans either hate or love them to an extreme. Sex sells, but at the same time, sex ostracizes, so the push and pull related to these kinds of shows is understandable.&nbsp;</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;">The argument that Ecchi serves no purpose is moot. Instead, some thought should be given to why it's there in the first place. To understand why this is the case requires more than just a brief overview, but rather a thorough investigation of socio-economic issues. As popular as anime has become outside of Japan, for most studios, appealing to Western audiences is still far from a priority. After all, they're providing content for a home-grown demographic. And when creating content for such a niche environment, key issues aren't present with other viewers.</span></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></p> <p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;">Life in Japan is significantly different than life in the West. The importance of social ethics, fitting in, and going above and beyond for one's workplace isn't as big of an issue elsewhere. When all those things are considered, it becomes apparent that the primary target audience for these programs lacks the necessary time and opportunities to engage in romantic pursuits, dating, or just being inappropriate with their friends. As such, incorporating lascivious and lewd scenes to already escapist shows only further allures a substantial portion of what was meant to be the main viewers.</span></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZsdMKhLXNFz4ifbhAbUHuwtDKU3POfoZiJN4xoxZccNFgUOnzY_lJH1Z_zRHUT9IWBy_9ah-1tlwOXhqW9puAcnY3FZzwnxHlF-L_jK3dHHHNkiKgBlDMbs3olpghwUC2SDqv5KaWCIZdWye3wZXUAOq9VMBq_MKny4QvFRd9AEkhunkEL9M7yCQSxV4/s1280/Domestic-na-Kanojo-11-14.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZsdMKhLXNFz4ifbhAbUHuwtDKU3POfoZiJN4xoxZccNFgUOnzY_lJH1Z_zRHUT9IWBy_9ah-1tlwOXhqW9puAcnY3FZzwnxHlF-L_jK3dHHHNkiKgBlDMbs3olpghwUC2SDqv5KaWCIZdWye3wZXUAOq9VMBq_MKny4QvFRd9AEkhunkEL9M7yCQSxV4/w640-h360/Domestic-na-Kanojo-11-14.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Sauce - Domestic Girlfriend)</span><br /><p style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><br /></span></p><p style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Recently, Ecchi as a medium has gotten ever more outlandish. Titles such as Redo of Healer, Inter-species Reviewers, Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World, and Immoral Guild threaded a seemingly invisible line between anime and hentai. As shows like these dominate the discussion on ecchi anime, it leads to more subdued ones being placed on the sidelines. Unfortunately, this is problematic for several reasons, primarily because shows like those heavily rely on their lubricious nature to captivate their target viewers. Since these titles are lauded as 'peak Ecchi.' This may lead to the erroneous belief that all shows within this genre possess this same overt and flagrant approach, but that is untrue.</span></p><p style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><br /></span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqQ2to7QVc_h-GM1rJO33tU6doLg6ocrHAhZJLtOz107KqyyA_aS2LdicdfPnK2wLGKxKlMFE8SqPZjrSSBXkpZprVGciO95u-Au9IovM0LiEPk9Uy9Vny3TUdANnKYzxxH6QL52d4hgowZRmylxaN3jU4EigfwrNQDwhcZ50u1DP1T_2p1kX5Tx0LZoI/s1280/maxresdefault.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqQ2to7QVc_h-GM1rJO33tU6doLg6ocrHAhZJLtOz107KqyyA_aS2LdicdfPnK2wLGKxKlMFE8SqPZjrSSBXkpZprVGciO95u-Au9IovM0LiEPk9Uy9Vny3TUdANnKYzxxH6QL52d4hgowZRmylxaN3jU4EigfwrNQDwhcZ50u1DP1T_2p1kX5Tx0LZoI/w640-h360/maxresdefault.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Immoral Guild was without a doubt one of the most sexually heavy shows of the past 5 years)</span><br /><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;">To say TenPuru is breaking frontiers is laughable; very little stands out about the show compared to others in the genre. With modern-day consumerism and the vast amount of available media, one would think anything that isn't groundbreaking would be worthless. However, there's a reason why tried-and-true methods still hold weight, and this is where TenPuru shines. At no point does it try to be a grand show, a hypersexual heavyweight, or rely on cheesy sentimental scenes to try to be something else; it's just unabashedly a comedic Ecchi meant to make us laugh. It doesn't try to make pretensions or push limits; it’s only there to entertain.</span></p> <p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;">The story centers around Akemitsu Akagami (VA Masayuki Akasaka), a college student who is fixated on rejecting the promiscuous lifestyle that his father had. Because of this, he forgoes logic and ventures into the extreme, renouncing any semblance of what he thinks of as "worldly desires." But as he finds himself experiencing day-to-day attraction and lust to quell what he sees as licentious behavior, he sets off to join a temple to rid himself of the thoughts that plague him. While his intentions may be perceived as noble, how things play out initially is far from it. During his first visit to Mikazuki Temple, he accidentally encounters Yuzuki Aoba, who is partially undressed. In a moment of impulsiveness, he proposes to her, driven by his lust-driven state. Proving you don't need to waste 12 episodes of flirting just to get blocked by a fireworks display when you finally work up the courage to confess. As he tries to escape from the situation he finds himself in, he falls and concusses himself. Upon seeing his disheveled appearance, Yuzuki offers him shelter for the night at the temple, which has recently been converted into a nunnery. However, through the whims of fate, it is revealed that Akemitu's father owes a substantial debt to Mikazuki Temple, and he promises to pay back his dad's debt while working at the temple.</span></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLp6px6m7OCQFKH1VX02AoULtoruGx76odJJOqfWpcyEA-XJ5x3S28hGlAwtKno1GywI0YHDjICeVLgCCHwEOZR9KkNNvsT9p_OET90yBl_TFRnrNNXqEA4ccZ-tDSScIJujUauk_A4rxSex7NzjXsxwcaZdE5nWEnCayu8nbfjHgMgy5tcb2m_2V1vpQ/s1920/25150719.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLp6px6m7OCQFKH1VX02AoULtoruGx76odJJOqfWpcyEA-XJ5x3S28hGlAwtKno1GywI0YHDjICeVLgCCHwEOZR9KkNNvsT9p_OET90yBl_TFRnrNNXqEA4ccZ-tDSScIJujUauk_A4rxSex7NzjXsxwcaZdE5nWEnCayu8nbfjHgMgy5tcb2m_2V1vpQ/w640-h360/25150719.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;"><br /></span><p></p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDuMRlDM9bC8EAX5SBUBBAytQhSVSjoEPN1Xs6zkMIXuzFdSXv7CfyO9xLcct5KLDYWXjAJHS32xWdm5bqxwHR2NSSJ-RNr91WLAmlMvMYTcOzkWiQnIQE9hpVE88vGN06qonkP7MCx936tp7LlQoc6Zghdpa4M2dYXKY80mmmHAUGP2wRhs887p3EaPE/s1920/25151500.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDuMRlDM9bC8EAX5SBUBBAytQhSVSjoEPN1Xs6zkMIXuzFdSXv7CfyO9xLcct5KLDYWXjAJHS32xWdm5bqxwHR2NSSJ-RNr91WLAmlMvMYTcOzkWiQnIQE9hpVE88vGN06qonkP7MCx936tp7LlQoc6Zghdpa4M2dYXKY80mmmHAUGP2wRhs887p3EaPE/w640-h360/25151500.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Akagami-kun and Yuzuki's first meeting and introduction)</span><br /><p style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><br /></span></p><p style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">The story then proceeds in a manner typical of Ecchi anime. The other girls at the temple try to get him to leave by resorting to everything from seduction to violence. But inevitably, one after the other fails and instead ends up with some either appreciation or attraction for Akemitsu. While tried and true, there is enough absurdity in how things happen to keep fans of the genre entertained. An applause (</span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">pachi pachi</i><span face="Arial, sans-serif">) has to be given to the vocal cast. This is especially true for Mia Christoph's VA (Madoka Asahina), who goes above and beyond in matching the ridiculousness of what we're seeing on screen with just the right cadence and inflection. Hearing someone so eloquently reflect everything from excitement to embarrassment is astounding. Likewise, Masayuki Akasaka does a stellar job of voicing Akagami. His deep voice, which keeps its pitch regardless of the emotion, perfectly fits someone as downtrotted in life as Akemitsu.</span></p><p style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><br /></span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUhAkhIHc3mALZ05ss6TXkP5vO9p3pPu_BKPNtH8qsEcNOk8HURT-cF4GQiKiSd8gJpf6cL6rr3IHMFRp4D22jiYOUqb9OU-9Ge_TyEQCXne3xfEFEJRsQBHTER6VJcN4NhOeipMdbgjKw-4aXF2iHwlVbaowIkNWMF_F1wJZNTZqVCJ4nT4_IKjrPDYI/s1920/25152807.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUhAkhIHc3mALZ05ss6TXkP5vO9p3pPu_BKPNtH8qsEcNOk8HURT-cF4GQiKiSd8gJpf6cL6rr3IHMFRp4D22jiYOUqb9OU-9Ge_TyEQCXne3xfEFEJRsQBHTER6VJcN4NhOeipMdbgjKw-4aXF2iHwlVbaowIkNWMF_F1wJZNTZqVCJ4nT4_IKjrPDYI/w640-h360/25152807.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5EhfN2Zy2tk7vCjG7WtspMGtqqjITLx_jKMQqepu21sxyLiXsX-NngpiAqUF3ZZuD2ibscbuNl3zjX6159Z4ZHWIHlf4BaoMI2NijmYtGpajaGrWGNjcDJxAbtyIkeoY-9iBdzxKxTnSB9BuORqfGvhIOaBgTv9XQWCZgH4hfEEIH7JtB-SI7XuqcM_Q/s1920/25152227.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5EhfN2Zy2tk7vCjG7WtspMGtqqjITLx_jKMQqepu21sxyLiXsX-NngpiAqUF3ZZuD2ibscbuNl3zjX6159Z4ZHWIHlf4BaoMI2NijmYtGpajaGrWGNjcDJxAbtyIkeoY-9iBdzxKxTnSB9BuORqfGvhIOaBgTv9XQWCZgH4hfEEIH7JtB-SI7XuqcM_Q/w640-h360/25152227.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">(The several failed attempts to get rid of Akagami-kun by the resident temple girls)&nbsp;</span><br /><p style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><br /></span></p><p style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">The show heavily leans on slice-of-life elements, as family and personal scenes are plentiful. The interaction between the sisters gives a nod to shows like Minami-ke, as the interaction between siblings is less idealized and more normalized. But make no mistake, the draw of this show is the sexually charged humor. Bawdy humor abounds and is made even more comical because, unlike most sketchy or oblivious MCs, Akemitsu desperately tries to avoid the exact situations he finds himself in.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5xgYHzShqvjOKxnusTL8E7juk3V9cTKHqmj6tpFkFq5GIoFzhU742dGtIq11Zol_iZ98ICPD3LwvFHUnTfcTAezdzPj7XOTeYJMPilLTa0N1lPgjYy7m9rUb2cGWCr4S45SsvUHfrdVeuSUpmCe0R6QayxhjV239GesLAzPozBPes1NReUXuYCvhq2Vs/s1920/25153181.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5xgYHzShqvjOKxnusTL8E7juk3V9cTKHqmj6tpFkFq5GIoFzhU742dGtIq11Zol_iZ98ICPD3LwvFHUnTfcTAezdzPj7XOTeYJMPilLTa0N1lPgjYy7m9rUb2cGWCr4S45SsvUHfrdVeuSUpmCe0R6QayxhjV239GesLAzPozBPes1NReUXuYCvhq2Vs/w640-h360/25153181.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtHnfKKBLtOIl_XEnsT24wrYqhoLAQRTdJJY2HoSSZ1CMrNmpxHWMm_bVTh6DW7TEcABfXhrDTKlA2-TWpbqIDx9RVomXrpXivsqSsfByuLETpm67xhoSURjaB9c0--orWtWZQCVgM_AtJe5xoijB620NaU_9ahEETTdHG5frdPwRrzMIdkPIqgAPx-xQ/s1920/25519818.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtHnfKKBLtOIl_XEnsT24wrYqhoLAQRTdJJY2HoSSZ1CMrNmpxHWMm_bVTh6DW7TEcABfXhrDTKlA2-TWpbqIDx9RVomXrpXivsqSsfByuLETpm67xhoSURjaB9c0--orWtWZQCVgM_AtJe5xoijB620NaU_9ahEETTdHG5frdPwRrzMIdkPIqgAPx-xQ/w640-h360/25519818.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">(While backgrounds may be a bit dull, the characters and main view artwork is always vibrant and attention grabbing)</span><br /><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: left;">Repetitive doesn’t necessarily equal mundane; there's enjoyment in most things when presented a certain way. TenPuru does an eloquent job of doing just that. It rehashes the tropes of the Ecchi shows of old in a way that is less ripoff and more flattery. Coupled with old-school Ecchi humor, it can boast having vibrant and pleasant artwork, though you can expect an off-scene or two in every episode. And throughout the show, you'll definitely see some slack in the animation. But that's understandable when you realize shows like this usually have a lower budget. Is TenPuru a genre changer? No? Does it deserve to be treated like a run-of-the-mill Ecchi show and ignored? No, the absurdity of the situations that the characters find themselves in is definitely worth watching.</span></p><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1c_wfjqV2L2bT85Ll2-X2QyXjFcAkNZ14J7_t5laTsgj17s1aBBwGroNGFn_Kic5v3j-Wdr_JM0D6yvPGiKKIv_3AVOwGBss6gTSnLQYAYTZEeTG-y-V8Vrva1fvAr0h9iBY3ssmq8ReaONEH6Gc34erBsiw6WWNsbAks4FGcMEHrmJS1cC1idowxbFo/s1920/25519587.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1c_wfjqV2L2bT85Ll2-X2QyXjFcAkNZ14J7_t5laTsgj17s1aBBwGroNGFn_Kic5v3j-Wdr_JM0D6yvPGiKKIv_3AVOwGBss6gTSnLQYAYTZEeTG-y-V8Vrva1fvAr0h9iBY3ssmq8ReaONEH6Gc34erBsiw6WWNsbAks4FGcMEHrmJS1cC1idowxbFo/w640-h360/25519587.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p></description><link>https://www.anitoonsplus.com/2023/09/tenpuru-nothing-new-but-still-enjoyable.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jon Pierre Kristov)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFxQ8We9_g3mGATLWc5EvBNr9hA9YLfG2pqM8bGT_xttnvEangRW4CDM02N9fSMOWIGMxNkNv4QUFFw29or65xSa4at_i8_8TBWHKgajWP7pRZ___9xAiBfZvzHnTVIkWnf_6nbMGDaTDYtKoY0dUgwhMN-DdUUmO7QMozEeJMWiaVDrQ0xngd8qij4PI/s72-w640-h360-c/25150524.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643958199086458519.post-4724174960775312209</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 Sep 2023 07:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2023-12-01T23:38:06.395+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Reviews</category><title>Mushoku Tensei - Nature & Nurture </title><description><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span>I've long been fascinated by the isekai prospect of reincarnation, or rather, the impossibility of it happening as it is often depicted. Biology would tell you: if you're talking about teleporting/summoning someone to another world, there are a lot of issues that anime never covers. A quick look into history (the ages of conquest and exploration) shows that disease quickly becomes an issue when a foreigner treads into an unknown land. Anime completely ignores the fact that any person who lives on Earth and is then transported to another world would have to deal with a myriad of diseases, parasites, viruses, and bacteria that we do not have any resistance to or immunity to. Comparably, our companions in that new world aren't impervious to the maladies we carry. That said, Mushoku Tensei presents a neat little solution to these woes, being re-born there. In utero, a mother's antibodies are passed on to the child, thus preparing that individual for all the ailments their world possesses. But in that approach lies another conundrum, that of nature and nurture, or rather how both these things affect a person’s outlook on life.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizxdxEyUJOdhBrOAQ3f0wFhbiP1yaZj1SYNN5VJ5GiKkFoYCHXwJVXbXWnwE0UXJxi_jp9mga0XaTQGJVdWRMfUklnGX5hX_y1bRw1aAj7iWlr9Qp6tE-1ptaiNLegx4HV0MTx3hpB7NAzYthh2j3s4oJK5rmWUZed5rUONxLWxLPJUTYGl07b5mOuDOI/s1920/Episode_1.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizxdxEyUJOdhBrOAQ3f0wFhbiP1yaZj1SYNN5VJ5GiKkFoYCHXwJVXbXWnwE0UXJxi_jp9mga0XaTQGJVdWRMfUklnGX5hX_y1bRw1aAj7iWlr9Qp6tE-1ptaiNLegx4HV0MTx3hpB7NAzYthh2j3s4oJK5rmWUZed5rUONxLWxLPJUTYGl07b5mOuDOI/w620-h348/Episode_1.webp" width="620" /></a></div><br /><div><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in;"> <span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span>Our day-to-day interactions are significantly influenced by the individuals who surround us. Every time we engage in undesirable behavior, we are admonished for it, through that, we gain an understanding that our behavior is either acceptable or unacceptable. Similarly, our perception of what’s right ages as we do, thus prompting us to adjust and assimilate to expected social standards. And here is where Mushoku Tensei shines: honest character building. Rather than a blank slate, Rudy, for most of his past life was a hikikomori, and this affects his new life far more than he (and even we as viewers) realize. The acquisition of social cues is attained through learned behaviors. Behaviors that must be frequently exercised in order to maintain their effective execution. In the case of an individual such as Rudy, who endures a plethora of adverse encounters and subsequently withdraws from society, the faculties of empathy and social perspicacity are profoundly insufficient. What appears overtly intuitive for most individuals can easily be missed by someone in Rudy<!-- Insert picture of Rudy and Roxy (002) -->’s position.</p><br /></div><div><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in;"><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span>This lack of social awareness and expected morality is further exacerbated in his newfound life, due to growing up in the Greyrat household and in the Six-Faced World as a whole. Rudeus throws himself headfirst into living out his new life and voraciously learns about the world around him. Through this he garners an appreciation about the norms of his new world. He sees first hand how things like Paul's predatory behaviors is often disregarded and even downplayed or just accepted by those around him. Faced with these lessons, it make it easy for Rudy to ease into a less-than-ideal moral lifestyle because he has some assurance that he has a lot of leeway with his behavior, leeway he would never have had while living in Japan. However, it's not just learned behavior; there is a level of societal understanding due to his prior life</p></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwfWNBsmjVjYGXHTuOVoI3ICzsQId1jWgtmVPkXwK38kb6plpJ6p9SszIFOaHqBUPvvnL_MtxqAzsP-roTUt0rl9Y4S-vmXEGviZAIKexOyjYAHDlqZx8b_AfvlRx-AQkFwKY9n6iuIhRnXDpHdYWb3_DewQq43MdrbaK-saf_ry-pzpJwdNn2xGJaEqw/s1920/499852.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwfWNBsmjVjYGXHTuOVoI3ICzsQId1jWgtmVPkXwK38kb6plpJ6p9SszIFOaHqBUPvvnL_MtxqAzsP-roTUt0rl9Y4S-vmXEGviZAIKexOyjYAHDlqZx8b_AfvlRx-AQkFwKY9n6iuIhRnXDpHdYWb3_DewQq43MdrbaK-saf_ry-pzpJwdNn2xGJaEqw/w640-h360/499852.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in;"> <span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span>There is a philosophical concept known as "Chesterton's Fence." Which postulates that when faced with a problem, before rushing towards what seems like the easiest solution, it is prudent to assume that an existing arrangement is the way it is because an individual(s) who established it has presumably given thought to potential alternatives. The example used here is that you should never remove a fence, no matter how bad it is or how much it annoys you because you don't understand the full implications of why that fence is there and what happens if you remove that fence. An easy way to understand this in modernity is the issue of authoritarian leaders. Few people would argue that they needs to remain in power (the fence that needs to be removed). But as the recent Wagner revolt showed, the potential removal of an autocrat isn't as clear-cut. In Russia’s example if Putin is deposed and a civil war breaks out, hundreds, if not thousands, of weapons of mass destruction would fall into the hands of out-of-state actors. Then, instead of dealing with a centralized autocrat, you have to deal with insurgents and extremists; all of who have different goals. That doesn't detract from the fact that having an autocrat in power is a very bad thing; it just poses the possibility that the alternative may be more destructive and harder to deal with<!-- Insert pictures 003 and 004 which shows Rudy saving people from slavery but purchasing a slave later on -->.&nbsp;</p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in;"><br /></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in;"><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span>In Mushoku Tensei, Rudy is smart enough to understand this dilemma. He has a modern understanding of morality (albeit warped). For example, he hesitates to kill, and the time when he can get what he wants through force, he always abstains from going that route. But at the same time, he understands that what applied to his old existence is to a degree, invalid in his present one. His abstention from something, while admirable, serves no purpose but to make his life harder than it already is. He knows that the things that don't confirm with the morals and values of his old world are still present in his new one for a reason even if its a deeply flawed reason. It may still be detestable, but much like heading back into our own history and trying to change problematic issues in a flash, he's cognizant enough that he alone can't bring about meaningful change in his current position.&nbsp;</p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLE5LfXwii3Iy16GdxNn3-fZTJPZaYJgSDMpad2UrkBiOKkBj3UX8O9gbx2Sq8D0BpPfzBIUGkX0PhmUUy3rG3ntu1pavDYoU0VaoKWQ1Re7palON9NX2_oDjcfeQmdvQ81vEcfJ84vzsRj4MfBkmu5zubLVZy2V24ILWprOe9qzWMd0arJQuZ-VTG1KE/s1024/20230818_050142_qrHGUwI89V-1024x576.jpeg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLE5LfXwii3Iy16GdxNn3-fZTJPZaYJgSDMpad2UrkBiOKkBj3UX8O9gbx2Sq8D0BpPfzBIUGkX0PhmUUy3rG3ntu1pavDYoU0VaoKWQ1Re7palON9NX2_oDjcfeQmdvQ81vEcfJ84vzsRj4MfBkmu5zubLVZy2V24ILWprOe9qzWMd0arJQuZ-VTG1KE/w640-h360/20230818_050142_qrHGUwI89V-1024x576.jpeg.webp" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in;"><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; To a large extent there is also a willing rejection of his old life and values. I</span>n the most recent episode, Rudy again runs into Nanahoshi Shizuka. His reaction to this was visceral, an excellent nod to how past physical trauma translates to emotional trauma in the long run. But after that initial shock (and with the help of Fritz), he was able to push aside his feelings and not only face his former aggressor but also work alongside her. It is a feat of emotional maturity most people would not be able to do. While it may not be one he did without hesitation, it is one he knew was inevitable given the circumstances he finds himself in. It is possible to discard deep-seated differences or hatred and work alongside someone you once abhorred once a mutual understanding develops, and the latest episode presented that pretty well. Even in our world, things like WW1's Christmas Truce can happen between people who just hours before were trying to kill each other.&nbsp;<!-- Insert image 005 of Rudy and Nanahoshi --></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in;"><br /></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in; text-align: left;"><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span>But the most important takeaway from this exchange was Rudy's outright declaration that he does not want to return to his previous life. He has friends and family that he loves and cares for in his present life, whereas he misses nothing of his former one. Nanahoshi mentions that such a disposition signifies a life well-lived, free of remorse in its final moments. While Rudy's previous life did not end the rosy way Nanahoshi believes it did.&nbsp;<span style="text-align: left;">Compounded, the rejection of his former self, accompanied by the renouncement of his previous existence, presents a profound and revealing window into Rudeus' psyche. That rejection applies not only to the past life he lived but to his past self as well, along with&nbsp;</span><span style="text-align: left;">the concepts and ideas that his old life held. He's no longer a nameless shut-in; for all intents and purposes, he is now Rudeus Greyrat, a Six-Faced World native, no different than anyone else in that world. While this may ostracize him to those in line with the norms of his past life, in his current life, being just a normal person is to his benefit.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in;"><span>&nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqHuxyj6ARtqQ2OnG_biooxEbVWOG9jVDLKuBF29i36F56It5bq8m8bzrbbm62kgQF8tGN-PiC0rRBWg0toT4fG3Xfv6snuur6tzE0z3l2WL3yJsJe9q-h__oZ1CVmj_R7RrhWx-ztoBJIfMSVQtCvLE5u6qlDOu_bQ9EglPF3vjBKg_FwcK1iCHNbT8U/s1920/005.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqHuxyj6ARtqQ2OnG_biooxEbVWOG9jVDLKuBF29i36F56It5bq8m8bzrbbm62kgQF8tGN-PiC0rRBWg0toT4fG3Xfv6snuur6tzE0z3l2WL3yJsJe9q-h__oZ1CVmj_R7RrhWx-ztoBJIfMSVQtCvLE5u6qlDOu_bQ9EglPF3vjBKg_FwcK1iCHNbT8U/w640-h360/005.png" width="640" /></a></div><p align="justify" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.04in; margin-top: 0.04in;"><span><br /></span></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /></div></description><link>https://www.anitoonsplus.com/2023/09/mushoku-tensei-nature-nurture.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jon Pierre Kristov)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizxdxEyUJOdhBrOAQ3f0wFhbiP1yaZj1SYNN5VJ5GiKkFoYCHXwJVXbXWnwE0UXJxi_jp9mga0XaTQGJVdWRMfUklnGX5hX_y1bRw1aAj7iWlr9Qp6tE-1ptaiNLegx4HV0MTx3hpB7NAzYthh2j3s4oJK5rmWUZed5rUONxLWxLPJUTYGl07b5mOuDOI/s72-w620-h348-c/Episode_1.webp" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643958199086458519.post-5275428561137076616</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Aug 2023 15:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2023-08-27T23:44:52.003+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">News</category><title>'The Rising of the Shield Hero' Season 3 receives new trailer, airs this October</title><description><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9WCy59PxwF_ESZtCXP6cq_i_DcxK_T1Ve5MEmDUSfF1tQTnhqjLdAMQIcO0frXzpSPxfhpDJie344jCz4BEovSZ0AYpgCvwWkKHtn0KOpyymVywRFOrTh5Q0u0MTd3H7wf5729bgoTLXp9d1NGay9GrzWYBRl8zO2s7NlbXHfNlcZUmEFCaxNTrIAOTn/s1920/370458500_1651458088598654_5580706563331024874_n.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9WCy59PxwF_ESZtCXP6cq_i_DcxK_T1Ve5MEmDUSfF1tQTnhqjLdAMQIcO0frXzpSPxfhpDJie344jCz4BEovSZ0AYpgCvwWkKHtn0KOpyymVywRFOrTh5Q0u0MTd3H7wf5729bgoTLXp9d1NGay9GrzWYBRl8zO2s7NlbXHfNlcZUmEFCaxNTrIAOTn/w534-h300/370458500_1651458088598654_5580706563331024874_n.png" width="534" /></a></div><br /></div><div>A new trailer for the third season of "The Rising of the Shield Hero" has been revealed earlier today on KADOKAWA's YouTube channel.
