RE: Kaiba Anime Review

in #anime7 years ago

The amnesia makes sense within the plot but it doesn't help with characterization. I don't know. Warp was too apathetic for me to care about ironically I guess that makes me apathetic. I don't know, is that irony? So many things are called ironic that I don't know what irony is anymore...

I don't know it killed characters too fast. It gave me that same feeling I had when I watched Galaxy Express 999; 'Oh now you feel sorry for fictional people, give us your money, here you go another batch of characters to feel sorry for, now give us your money etc....' Perhaps I am being too cynical and perhaps this shouldn't be called emotional manipulation, after all that's the deal, but then what should it be called? Maybe 'misery porn'? I just find helpless victimized characters rather boring and 'manipulative' in the sense that they are just there to make me drip a tear from my cock.
