A super good anime if you like dark stories.... https://myanimelist.net/anime/13125/Shinsekai_yori
Also I want to watch Gunbusters first
Ive seen this anime like 6-7 time already
It has a dark story but super good
I'll probably check it out
Did you guys check out the first episode of FLCL Alternative?
Seems like it's going to explore the slow drift apart of friends and the inevitability of adulthood and lack of place in the world as opposed to the original's more straightforward story of growing up and choosing your destiny
I hope it actually ends up good.
Everything you just explained right there
Is why I suspect so few kids are being had.
Life is just strange torture.
We haven't fixed it, so why add new players so flippantly?
Withhold what the system wants, and the system may change.
The opposite is also true.
It's definitely a sentiment that seems to resonate strongly in Japan at the moment.
There's a great manga ongoing right now with a similar theme called 'dead dead demon's dededestruction' that I'd strongly recommend.
Made by the same guy who made Oyasumi Punpun
I hated losing contact with all friends.
Absolutely hated it.
And there was virtually no way to stop it.
I don't wanna create a kid who has to go through that. Not without advice for them.
It's easy to stay in contact when you're in school, but it's rough to realize how little many of them cared about you and how little you can relate on a deeper level to them after having grown up a bit more
Immigrants who come here to america notice something about us.
We seem to operate under the assumption we'll all move far away from each other, and therefore not bother to try and make friends.
In other countries its not like that.
This "trading up" attitude.
Not just in regards to lovers, but to locations.
It's poison.
In all these unobvious ways.
I think a lot of people do have romanticized views of things. That they'll be able to move away and live a fancy new life as a fancy new person, and that they won't be happy if they don't do that, or at least convince others that they've done that.
I've lost more friends due to an instant messenger becoming SHIT.
That change from skype to discord was necessary after awhile, but I now can't talk to certain people.
And i PRAY discord doesn't fuck up for this reason.
I hate the metamorphosis of friend circles. It's so chaotic.
Facebook had a responsibility which they botched.
Now people are fleeing from it and friendships are being disconnected indefinitely.
Better than having none at all at the very least. I'm extremely thankful for what family and friends I've remained close to.
Not ended, just disconnected maybe forever.
I could never stand Facebook. Always just felt so pointless and supeficial to me, so I only ever used it to make the occasional stupid joke.
Social media in general and its attempted integration into all facets of the internet is something I can't stand
Facebook when it started was very basic
And that's what was likeable about it.
