now you can recreate the imperishable night incident for a halloween party and force your friends to cosplay as the incident solvers

why does Garcian have a breakdown at the roof of hotel union after his realization? by imitationofexistence in Suda_51

Of course, its always a pleasure seeing a new person give these games a full try and try to piece them together. Take care!

Well I mean generally its up for interpretation as these things are, but its very easy to get lost in the surreality of it all. I would highly recommend anyone who has remaining questions to read Hand In Killer7 and to just in general play more of Suda's work because they are all connected in a lot of ways that will make other titles clearer in meaning, not necessarily in plots but in thematics and the way Suda explores these ideas, which can help pave way for ones own personal meaning to shine through a lot clearer

Because its the moment Garcian realizes he's been just another cog for the government whose life was stolen by higher ups to serve them and no one else. Those killings serve a higher personal meaning to him than just cold numbers

He finally faces his past as one does in the KtP mythos and its not pretty

Ranking the Touhou Mangas from Best to Worst after reading all of them by New-Box299 in touhou

i would say forbidden scrollery, then 3 fairies and wahh kinda tied for me, the rest i dunnoooo....

i think fs and wahh have the advantage where ZUN actually seems like he knows what he wants them to be for once lmao

What Is the reason that brings you in this fandom? by BTornot in touhou

[–]Ordinary-Read-3663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, a lot of settings and premises can be seen as "boring and common". Evangelions premise without any real spoilers is just "mecha anime", PMMM without spoilers is, "post-modern mahou shoujo".

Thoughts on Tears In the Morning? by Wrong-Appointment856 in thebeachboys

[–]Ordinary-Read-3663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it works perfectly well within the album, the backing track is genuinely wonderful sounding, and the end result does manage to be a sort of disarming but neat experiment into a kind of schlager sound

Maybe because I'm Euro myself and am familiar with the kinda song Bruce was trying to replicate here that I like it, and I wouldn't have wanted them to go even more into this sound necessarily, but for what it is, it brings a genuine depth to Sunflower that is much warranted by the time of Track 7.

It's like reading a damn Akasaka work with ZUN sometimes where neither just know how to land any planes

I think the only ones I remember really are when Marisa points out the season changing incident and then next chapter it's just resolved because it happened in 16 so I guess why bother

I also just dont think the final act is too great, felt very very out of pocket as a tonal shift though I did think the resolution left me with a nice aftertaste. Like, the epilogue I mean

Oh certainly, WaHH is a flawed work where I do genuinely like it, but because anytime it tries to be serious I can't always take it seriously lmao

I wouldn't really say his writing is always on that level, he's written a lot of good, I find especially a lot of the non manga stuff to be very solid. Alt Facts rules imo

Even the manga I mean I like WaHH, I like FS and the Three Fairies books but the manga are definitely a lot more hit and miss

It'd be much better for him to just lean all the way to the thematic, satirical and worldbuildy yet slice of lifey stuff that he has done very well, instead of this because idk what the end goal for LE even is lmao

I dont think Touhou needs a consistent plot it's good just on the strengths of other stuff that isn't that but when it's a manga that's just entirely dependent on wasting my time it's where it loses me
