Might be a hot take? I don't like Kakekoi due to how cheesy its ending feels like. It's such a bait and switch moment and the final footage is taken exactly from '50 First Dates' if you have ever seen the show.
The daughter showing in the last few minutes who I couldn't care less, and what's up with cancer killing everyone? Like bro give me a break.
@kiyoshima_yaizu I think Kaguya-hime is such a rare case that its success cannot be replicated because everything is almost perfect, from the story to its themes, from characters to their relationships. There won't be another trio like Iroha, Kaguya and Yachiyo, they're just so unique.
@katnap_kradle Luca is a mirror copy of the prince from Lara's past love, but way better cause he doesn't discriminate against Lara's origin. Even then, he couldn't win her heart and love. It really baffles my mind that people even question Lara's love for Mari.
@vivibiana77 Nah, CPK is pretty straight forward unless we watch different movie. Both Kaguya and Iroha got together in the end, and CPK even has a sequel in the form of MV further confirming the fact that both characters really stay together until the end. What's so subtext about it?
@RezuLily@Sketchie71 Only when being with Mari that Lara was able to produce such light, a "different" light that does not require taking away a human life. Such feelings cannot be stemmed from "friendship" alone, otherwise the show would have ended ages ago with Lara being friends with everyone
@RezuLily@Sketchie71 In GL, their relationship is definitely love because you already had several of episodes with Lara and Luca building to nothing, despite Luca himself is a mirror image of Lara's past love, but even better, he did not have any ill feelings towards like the past prince.
@htGOIW It works both way. You can have anime projects that last for a single season to boost manga popularity, and the opposite is also true, where an anime is so successful that it becomes a commercial hit and the production committee will continue making seasons until it ends.
@Fraudwatch99@LNhistorian I understand why Eren did it in AoT, I understand why he wanted to erase humanity from the face of the earth, doesn't mean I support genocide. Reasoning their actions does not equal to justify their actions. It's sad that this has to be explained to a lot of people.
@Fraudwatch99@LNhistorian Many people can't understand the differences between justification and reasoning a character actions. In fictional works, understanding their motivations often makes a work more believable, doesn't mean I actually support the character action (cont)
@wolfy44231 I think the ending is too ambiguous for its own good, leaving too little time for interpretation. It's a solid show overall, I really like the direction and what it wants to tell, but the execution is a bit lacking. I hope the story writer can improve upon his future works.
IDK why many saying it is yuribait, while in fact everything was quite obvious. The premise is that without love, Lara cannot find the light. And in order for Lara to be saved, the love between them must happened. It is the foundation that the work was built upon.
@maxkutabire The so called "yuri" crowd needs 2 characters sharing a kiss to confirm their point of view, otherwise it's just a friendship story. Those perspective always boggle my mind.
