RE: A Look at Darling in the FranXX Episode 2
Haha, awesome break-down thanks mate. I see that so often in anime with an awesome concept that's just fumbled. I know I'd probably get skewered alive for saying this by a lot of people but I even found ghost in the shell could have done more with the ideas it was exploring!
Ghost in the Shell has its problems, like treating the plot as secondary. But Oshii is such a good director that he makes up for his disregard of the plot with theme exploration, like transhumanism, and clear imagery and symbolism. It’s difficult to make criticisms of it even though the flaws should be so obvious.
Yeah you're right. It was a spectacular film, but it would have had a 13 hour run time if they gave the plot justice and explored a little more
:)
They also would have had to have called it "Stand Alone Complex".
