Nagi no TOO MUCH FUCKING BLUE

-
After watching Nagi Asu for the sixth time, I have dawned upon a frightening realisation. That in every single scene of Nagi Asu, there will always, guaranteed to have a colour blue. This anime is so stuffed up with blue in all of its settings. Even in the surface, there will be fucking blue on the walls and shit. And under the sea, it's like blue hell down there.

'So what?' you say. Nobody cares. It's a show about mermaids, of course it will be blue... Oh boy, you don't even know that that is not even the most frightening part about this blue hell. You see because, the most scary part about this whole goddamn conspiracy is that, EVERYBODY'S GODDAMN HAIR IS LIKE BROWN.

WHAT?! Yes, I swear, apart from Chisaki and her milf mother, NO ONE ELSE HAS BLUE HAIR IN BLUE HELL! INSTEAD, THEY ALL HAVE BROWN?! WHY BROWN?!?!?!?!

There is even one scene when Tsumugu was talking to his grandpa about the salt flake calamity that is befalling upon the world, and that scene really could've been without fucking blue. But then somebody at P.A was like, 'hey, there is no blue in this scene!' AND THEN THEY PROCEEDED TO HAVE THE BLUEST FUCKING BEER BOTTLE I HAVE EVER FUCKING SEEN!!!!! Trust me, it's in episode 10... 

...whyyyyyyyyyy....... URRRRGGGHHHH!!!!! THIS IS DRIVING ME FUCKING NUTS!!!

SOMEONE SAVE ME FROM THIS BLUE ASS SATAN OF A FUCKING ANIME!!!!!

86: Where Paradise resides

And so, we have come to the end of 86. I must say, what a journey this has been for me. Not just the show itself, but I have grown as a person watching it. I know that sounds cheesy as hell, but the truth is, I am so used to being a passive consumer, almost to a point of being an avid addict in my teenage years, mindlessly consuming Youtube and livestreams even till the point where I sometimes feel anxiety. And I still am doing so, but these past three months of watching 86 has changed me. I have vigorously enveloped myself around this show, analyzing every single detail it offers, writing essays that I am proud of and even learning a new skill with my recent video essay. I don't even feel bad for watching its episodes over and over again, an action that I would usually berate myself for wasting precious time. This is because with every re-watch, I dissect, I learn, I create -- I vent. Being a massive introvert, I have never had many friends in which I can share my excitement of an

86: When do ideals spill blood

-
Image
At the end of their death march, the Spearheads' have seemingly reached true paradise; They are in a just country, with people who will fight for their safety; They have found a real home, a place where they can finally be of their age; And perhaps most importantly, they remain together -- Free from the Legion terrors that once threatened to tear them apart. However, there is something empty about that "home"; They could never fit in with the common people, nor could they ever stomach the opportunities gifted to them. Instead when Kurena said that she has  "seen everything there is to see",  we are greeted with this flower --  White daisies, the Tanacetum Parthenium. Parthenium meaning 'virgin', while Tanacetum meaning 'immortality' -- Virgin immortality. For the Spearheads, that is incredibly fitting. We've talked about how in the purity of their ideals, they have already transcended death itself. Having Shin carry on their name plates is an

Sonny Boy: The Human Sandbox

  Yo, summer season why you gotta do me like that? I'm already following like 7 different shows dude. You've forced me to write three different essays in like a span of a week. That's like, two more than what should be my usual quota. And here I thought I was gonna be chilling till 86 comes back in fall.  There is a lot to unpack in the first episode of 'Sonny Boy'. Like, seriously a lot, so much so that I myself aren't confident I understood everything there is to understand. But that's the beauty of great art isn't it? Even when you have seemingly overturned every last stone in the garden, you still find hidden secrets elsewhere for you to discover. These are the type of shows that practically demand you to watch it more than once. So, I've decided that we aren't in a rush for time; Meaning, we can take this anime step by step, slowly at our own pace. If you are equally as lost as me with this anime, then you have come to the right place. We do

Lycoris Recoil: The Art of Presenting Information

-
Image
One of the most difficult skills in story-telling is the technique of presenting information. Say I want to set up a plot point about a villain. This villain is a powerful influencer who has been undergoing some shady deals under the public eye. How should we present this information to the audience? One easy way is to have our characters discuss it, such as a group of police giving out mission reports. Another way is to allow the audience to just see the villain engage in his devious acts. But perhaps if we take a page out of the 'Lycoris Recoil' playbook, we may first establish him via a news programme praising his societal contributions, metonymize him with a owl pin and then transition to us seeing the "hero" engage in his treachery.  There is no perfect answer to the debate of how to present information. While the first method of simply having our characters info-dump may be a bog-standard one, it is still effective in ensuring that the audience understands what

86: Staging depression since 2021

  Aiyo, it's your boi again. I have a confession to make. Since the end of episode 10, I have been fangirling and been trying to cook up the ultimate essay. This essay will be so meaty that I was planning to sleep like 10 hours before this Sunday, so that when the last episode of 86 drops, I will power through all the way to next morning to finish and publish it. But I ran into a problem. There was actually so many things I want to talk about in each episode, that if I crammed it all into a single post, this will probably be twice the length of my last one. So 86 has forced my hand. The show is literally so good that I can't praise it enough. So there you have it: This essay is the literal build up to the final theme I am exploring this coming Sunday. This essay will be more technique based, similar to my first essay on dramatic irony and will focus only on episode 7 and 8 of the series. P.S: The following points I will make is not directly relevant, but is still loosely build
