Just a play on my previous title.
So to people who're familiar with my last blog, here's a finisher, and to those who aren't, all the cake is gone. You don't even care, do you?Anyhow, ended up finishing the first season of When They Cry, or Higurachi as I've heard. Spelling might not be right. But that little rant where I said I didn't get any damn thing the show did, well this is a resolution. THANK GOD I finally understand everything.This show was killing me man. It was the most confusion I've ever taken from a single story but I was still too inclined to watch it. Somehow everything unraveled but what isn't revealed isn't important.I really like how well they put the characters together. We got to see a few different sides to everyone, I think. And the mystery element was fun, but a bit too confusing. In the end (if my brother hadn't spoiled it, the reaction would've been bigger), I was like "OHHHH."Clever show. My regards to everyone who told me to see it through. And now I'll recommend it to anyone else who doesn't mind a little blood (or a lot).So I no longer think it's a sick, bizarre, sadistic show. Okay, just a bit bizarre, but it wasn't all about violence. It had something for everyone albeit too short in most cases. Still kept me wondering but it was good all the same.So there's my spoiler-free not-review of When They Cry. This is where spoiler tags might be useful, Juju, for when you have something in common that you want to discuss. Because yes, I'd like to discuss it.Maybe.<_<
Pie is much better. On that note:
hey not everyone on 64digits is allergic to anime, awesome.
While subbed is almost always better, I'm lazy and usually watched dubbed unless the dub is just absolutely atrocious… Yes, I'm looking at you, Elfen Lied.Anyway, I'd recommend the following:Gankutsuou, Planetes, Serial Experiments Lain, Jyu-oh-sei.It's funny. Many people hate animes and other Japanese media. But I have to say, the few animes I've watched are some of the the most unique, thoughtful, and inspiring things I've ever seen in a show, video game, movie, or book. Seriously.
Not to say Japan rocks at telling stories. They do tend to retell things, but then again, so do we, and there is no story that's still untold. Well no basic idea anyway. You can change characters and plot branches all you want.
