Amazon MGM Studios which is valued at almost $10 billion is releasing a movie about He-Man this year which will easily make millions of dollars. Meanwhile, the literal creator of the character, who without him that movie wouldn’t even exist, has to rely on a GoFundMe for his medical care. Fucking insane.
@Baal_in_Dark@Nina_once_Again this is emblematic of the dumb pedantic nerd debate literalism that I could not despise more.
no, my point is not that the anime is literal actual arcane practice in the context of the story, my point is that Mitarai's anime is so ungrounded in reality that it might as well...
@Baal_in_Dark@Nina_once_Again ...is a much more viscerally believable concept than some random kid being so good at making anime that his skills can literally brainwash people into mass murder.
@Baal_in_Dark@Nina_once_Again ...unforeseen level of fake science bullshit as their explanation. I get that Danganronpa has never been particularly grounded and stuff like Alter Ego aren't exactly realistic given what contemporary levels of technology were like at the time, but i think a functional AI...

@Dan_Luna07@Nina_once_Again@kinglibra288 Chiaki is not presented as incorruptibly pure in the same way in danganronpa 2. In that game, she's not simply a figure everyone rallies around, her optimism puts her in active conflict with other students, and she has a hidden agenda the entire time. that's far more...
