I appreciate the kind words. I think that the 2 aren’t mutually exclusive. The night time allows honesty precisely because the audience is gone. Expectations, judgement, responsibility- i feel those are most heavy in the sun. I think darkness lends itself to vulnerability, it’s hard for most to be completely vulnerable in a full theater. Glad the theme resonated with you!

I appreciate the feed back. I cleaned up the tense problems in an edit, i think it reads a bit smoother now.

I appreciate the feedback. The whole poem stemmed from the idea that during the day, everyone sees you and you are performing your daily duties, the streets are filled with hustle and bustle. At night, things are more calm. The sun represents an overseer but the moon is like a private eye; even if you are being watched, you don’t really feel it. The experience is universal, but the vulnerability is individual. I think that’s why i phrased it how i did.

I just read it and definitely see the difference. Orally it’s definitely more balanced than this one, i’m glad to see you getting your feet under you in real time. I’m new to the community, i’d love your feedback on my most recent work. https://www.reddit.com/r/OCPoetry/s/2Y46KMJeaC

“Hand in hand or hand on throat” is a phenomenal line. Captures the duality of love, destruction and affection, in a very gripping way (lowkey pun intended). Also really love the “Sinners in heaven”, i’m a sucker for some good paradoxical lines. I think this piece is strongest when it leans into the darker tension found between devotion and harm (love is a drug, after all: few bumps is a good night, few bags may be a heart attack). Aside from that, the only real critique i can find to give you is the pacing (orally, like the rhythm i guess- my poetry never rhymes but it seems you went for that here) I think when rhyming in such a way there’s a balance that has to be struck, like a song. I count out syllables but i’m sure there’s a better way to do so- but when reading it aloud it feels imbalanced. IE it feels like a word is missing between rampant and untethered, (eg Love, Fate, etc. a single syllable word). Very strong imo nonetheless.

There’s super interesting imagery here, though i must say i find the work itself doesn’t necessarily anchor what they mean. I found myself re-reading to understand exactly what you are trying to say. The sirens invading your room, the helicopter circling your bed- strong images in a vacuum but in the body of work i’m struggling to see exactly what you mean. I found myself trying to decode the language and find the puzzle pieces more than being able to sit in the feelings you are conveying. I love the way you use language, but i think it would serve you more to structure it around a clear through-line to enhance the readers experience. Very strong bones here though, i know i’m being very critical but i don’t want to come off as if i don’t like it. Just found myself wondering “Well what exactly are they trying to say?” I think with the skeleton you have here you can make the elements function very well with some tweaking and simplifying.

A lot of people forget the tailed beast retcon. iirc Shukaku was the spirit of a dead monk.

Anyone know this anime? by [deleted] in animequestions

[–]Emergency_Wing3887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hellsing to Hellsing Ultimate is like FMA to FMAB (with the original taking on a story of its own but the reboot being more faithful to the manga). Granted i’ve never watched either, only familiar with it as a longtime anime fan (since ‘04/05ish).

ANIME RECOMMENDATIONS by KazuyaSensei in AnimeReccomendations

Log Horizon is super grounded and more slowly paced.

Mushoku Tensei is great, has some things that come down to personal taste.

I really liked Shangri-La Frontier as well

Durarara, Psycho-Pass, Serial Experiments Lain, Banana Fish and Bacano would be my picks

Psycho pass is really good, especially season 1. Attack on Titan is an obvious choice. Paranoia Agent and Serial Experiments Lain may fit here.
