It's not bad. It's WORSE. The fucking Uchiha take over the narrative and run with it, there's veery poor art in certain issues, and the Sasuke asshole has an inflated camera time due to being the author's favorite. The ending has a massive asspull because the writer got stuck in a corner that he couldn't get out of for a while.
The flower doesn't blossom, a little gizmo on his prosthetic projects an image of a flower. Particularly, the one associated with the girl he tried to rescue and was ultimately only able to offer a mercy kill. If we're talking symbolism that's a significant difference. The idea I got there was that he was finding peace by reminding himself of why he did it all. It's been a while since I saw it but I didn't see much implication of humanity being reborn; putting aside themes and symbolism the city was the last remaining pocket of flesh-and-blood humans(I think?) and everybody there was either dead or had been converted into a pod person, slowly dying due to their mechanical bodies being out of power. The experiment to ensure human survival through forced evolution was a complete failure.
It's about the same as everything else. You're reading a manga aimed at little boys, they're all going to push friendship over being an anti-social sperg.
The original series is ok. Its just shippuden that loses it after awhile.
How I interpret Texhnolyze is like an inversion of the Plato's Cave Allegory. The surface is somehow more depressing than the hellish underground and at the end he finds his own light or a reminder of what he did it for like you say. The blooming flower of the ending prior to the finale is symbolic of a few things to me. Played with a beautiful song by GACKT, and it's one of my favorite ending themes ever. The sages proclaim Lukuss aka Lux will be reborn, and while the show doesn't disprove them they are eventually killed. But they seem important enough for me to trust their word.
I largely agree with that. It's a dark show that uses its tone to make the few spots of brightness feel all the richer, and it concludes on exactly the note it logically should - the protagonist has suffered and seen the world slowly deteriorate from a dingy dystopia to a living hell that culminates in the apparent end of humanity, and the one goal that sustained him through the worst of it was in the end denied to him. Yet, there is a sense of peace; his journey is over and he can finally rest. It's a solemn, primal and utterly unforgettable. I wouldn't at all describe it as "feel bad"- I simply don't think it's in any way a "feel good" ending, nor should it be.
The Naruto half of the story is passable to good.
Sounds fun, I will watch that.
I just find it hilarious how both the narrative and retarded average fan dick ride Itachi for the same thing Danzo is condemned for
Naruto doesn't need to be read after volume 27. Before that, it's easily the best Shonen of all time for me.
Gaara Rescue still has Sakura and Chiyo vs Sasori. Plus there's everything to do with Pain up until the end of the Pain Invasion.
I am not sure what you expected. It's very obviously marketed to lonely, nerdy women. The "plain" protagonist that the royal man desperately wants, who is smarter than everyone around her and fixes issues nobody else is smart enough to, that even when she fails she succeeds, who works at a brothel but somehow doesn't end up sucking dirty dicks for money, and also all the prostitutes there have hearts of gold... It reeks of Mary Sue, romantasy wish fulfilment. It's the female equivalent of How Not To Train A Demon Lord.
Most anime is marketed to lonely, nerdy men. Your avatar is from Youjo Senki, where the protagonist is a Mary Sue Nazi who also happens to be a fat guy in the body of a loli.
If you haven't seen the show, then do not lie about what the show is about. It's fine to not have seen the show, but don't be a retarded faggot about it.
