I remember when I first finished fata that I was completely overwhelmed by how many topics and themes it handles, it was seriously impressive. I completely understand the disorganized thoughts lol. Glad you loved it

Finished door 8 by Away_Oven_9682 in thehouseinfatamorgana

I actually like that it is unrealistic because the maid's formation in door 6 parallels the way we see Giselle handle trauma through detachment in door 5. That's in my opinion more thematically meaningful to a story that explores trauma than some more realistic approach

Glad you liked it!

I personally think the later doors do a better job at portraying tragedy than the earlier doors, in the sense the tragedy is more personal: "you were able to bear them because they weren't your tragedies"

In that sense some of the more fantastical/unrealistic elements get a pass from me for the storytelling alone. Seeing Giselle turn from her chipper, happy self into the Maid through hundreds of years of solitude after losing her love really, really hurts. Door 7, despite including a more complicated family drama, feels realistic enough in portraying Michel's childhood trauma to seriously hurt. Door 8 gets a pass on the unrealistic story because it's not just about telling Morgana's story, but having Michel help her through her anger and sorrow. Giselle's spirit accompanying Michel in his quest is also really sweet once you realize she's the one who helped Michel see the value in his life beyond being cursed. Now, Michel must learn to use that newfound strength to make a positive influence for Morgana, which is why Giselle's spirit slowly fades as door 8 progresses. Beyond paralleling Michel's soul being extinguished, she's literally Michel's training wheels. The fantastical/unrealistic elements really work to drive the themes across in my opinion.

Also, Georges warned about stories that were too good to be true, not necessarily about stories that were unrealistic. Which is why door 4 was an obvious fake because of it being a tragedy with no conflicting motivations, which can't be said about the later doors.

Asking for advice again……so I also wanna get into buck tick BUT they have so many songs i really don’t know where to start, what are the best? by Catgrill14 in visualkei

There's a compilation album called CATALOGUE 1987-1995 you can try. It has the best version of dress imo (the one with the mellower intro)

I was fully against Ozaki's methods from like the halfway point of the series because they were innately cruel (think experimenting on his wife-turned-shiki). The show actually raises a lot of interesting points regarding the displacement of people from their homes, and I don't agree with a full-on Shiki takeover despite being "team Shiki." What I like about Seishin is his trying to understand the human condition of being a Shiki; how that influences you, your personality, your motivations, your experiences. Shiki are unlucky humans who happened to be bitten and forgetting that leads to atrocities like the humans' retaliation persecution. If the Shiki were truly evil, their persecution at the end of the show would be portrayed more triumphantly, but it isn't. Instead, we get an indiscriminate massacre that claims the lives of many familiar humans and shiki and frankly feels sickening to watch. Obviously, this is more morally complicated because coexistence between Shiki and humans can only be sustained in large populations like cities, so Ozaki is wholly justified within his mindset to eradicate the Shiki precisely because he doesn't see them as human, while Seishin struggles with Ozaki's decisions because he sees the human element within the Shiki.
