This Anime Will Haunt Your Thoughts for Years

- This anime is something I have wanted to talk about for years, but didn't know how. First, it's subject matter is very sensitive, so I didn't know how to present it in a delicate and respectful way. Second, the critical response to this anime is mixed to put it lightly. From what I understand, people generally love the first seven episodes, but severely dislike the last five, and I can understand why. I even agree with a lot of the criticisms. Nonetheless, I find the premise of the show... and the questions it asks so intriguing, that I think it's worth your time.

The anime that he is talking about is called Babylon. He mentions it at 2:53 or so. There is no mention in the title nor the description of the video. Again, if you are reading this and want to know right away what is being discussed, he is talking about an anime called Babylon.
Thanks for that, I just wanted to know if I'd seen it or not, whatever he was going to talk about
Thank you.
thank you so much
Impressive, very based.
Thank you.
This was a great video, Max.
There's a great scene in LA Noire where Roy Earle tries to explain to protagonist Cole Phelps that you can't eradicate crime. It's impossible. Too many variables. It can only be managed.
Cole refuses to believe this, and fights in protest. He dies anyway, and the bad guys win.
However, his death becomes symbolic and a reminder of that dichotomy between good and evil and why we have it in the first place.
I'd love more topics on this.
I know it gets memed on abit now for some of the ridiculous facial stuff and some of the writing but I genuinely love LA Noire they got the time period and vibe down perfectly it felt like a really good love letter to Noir literature and movies.
There are only 3 types of crime. Intentional, accidental and negligent. No matter how reasonable, perfect or aware people are, accidental crime will never be eradicated until laws are.
very similar to the movie LA Confidential
They did it in El Salvador.
. Half true, the gang members yes but the drug commerce still there, and sometime in the future if will come back probably in the form of state ownership of the drug market. Anyway, we both gonna live to see it happen, right now it is true the common citizen is safer
This reminds me of the book: LORD OF THE WORLD, one of the first dystopias ever written(1907).
The book depicts the return of the Antichrist as a charismatic political leader, there is even a socially acceptable use of euthanasia since the world turned into a relativist materialist mess
Canada?
Good ending
The Order of Christ Crucified! What a great example of the God that can enter into our suffering and death. Father Franklin is put through the ringer. Nietzsche was only half right. God was dead. We killed him because he gave himself to us to be killed. The choice to enter death for the sake of life. And transmute it. The true alchemy. Pax Domini
But yeah good book.
Now you just need to watch "From the New World" and "Land of the Lustrous". Both of these have haunted me for years.
Land of Lustrous is the prettiest and cruelest media I've ever consumed. Even more than Berserk. Phos is a near-perfect synthesis of Guts and Griffith.
From the New World and Casshern Sins. Both are genius!
i would love if max covered LotL/HnK, one of my favourite manga's/pieces of fiction i have ever read
From the New World is my favourite anime and among my favourite shows of all time. So different, so thought provoking, so cruel and so beautiful at the same time.
Land of the Lustrous is anime's best Greek tragic epic.
I really enjoyed this video! I’ve never heard of this show, but the ideas they present seem to be very very insightful
holy cow, why did it take me so long to find your essays??
amazing video Max!
That "How to draw anime" tier preview thumbnail will haunt me for years.
This isnt about your video Max, though I am about to watch in full, but I was listening to some Control lore videos about the Dead Letters yesterday, and just wanted to say that you killed it in your voice acting on there! It was a huge surprise to hear your voice, and I recognized it immediately! Looking forward to watching this now!
I used to believe death was better (my mental health wasn't at its best), but these days I believe people should live for the sake of seeing the future. What a waste of potential it would be if someone who could achieve greatness died prematurely or if someone who could get the opportunity to experience greatness (see history unfold) died prematurely.
Regarding evil and good- Darkness is the absence of light, and as such, evil is the absence of good, but you can't calculate light level without 0 (darkness), and you can't acknowledge good with a point of comparison (evil).
@iamafraidofwomen I explained why I see life as better than death.
We don't know what happens in death, but life is full of foreseeable potential.
People should strive to live to see that potential unfold. It's like watching a TV show to see how it ends.
I wanted and tried to kill myself, but as I found myself too scared to do so each time I tried, I decided that I should just live my life and see where they go.
@@GeekNewzWe do know that happens after death though; you lie extremely still until other organisms disassemble your and incorporate your mass into themselves.
@@GeekNewz Its alarming seeing that people stronly believes that being death is better than be alive, they are so biased cause they only see suffering a darkness that they dont see all the spectrum of good and evil, its sad to know that there are people that are not able to get out from that mindset, but they need to get trought that for themselfs
@@leejerrett8268 without any potential for a future or anything of that sorts. Life has potential, and I think people should live to see that potential.
@@GeekNewz Fair enough, I don’t necessarily disagree, but you can see how the lack of a future can easily be part of the appeal for many people.
Personally, life can often feel like an interminable sequence of irritating obligations and chores; the prospect of not needing or desiring anything ever again for the rest of time can be quite appealing sometimes.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
02:50 🎭 *The anime "Babylon" tackles the sensitive philosophical problem of whether life is preferable to death, delving into a global debate on the acceptance of death.*
11:55 🌐 *The antagonist, IM Magas, influences a legislative debate by exploiting emotional appeals, questioning societal values, and introducing a supernatural element into the series.*
13:41 ⚖️ *The anime raises ethical dilemmas as characters grapple with the idea of going above the law to prevent potential harm, challenging the protagonist's principles of justice.*
16:35 🔄 *Criticism surrounds the final episodes of "Babylon," where a rushed narrative shift occurs, overshadowing the series' earlier political thriller elements and character arcs.*
18:20 🤔 *The ambiguous ending symbolizes the perpetual struggle between good and evil, suggesting that to understand and appreciate life, one must continuously contend with the concept of death and evil.*
Dude thank you for putting the anime name here. I didn't catch it and it wasn't in the description
I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this channel for so long…. Every video is brilliantly crafted, truly impressive.
Thanks for the heads up on this one Max! Paused the video the other night and I’m back to finish it. Without a doubt worth the time. Excited to finish the video now; and see what you concluded! Thanks for the heads up; this one never hit my radar; I wonder if Kado: The Right Answer came out that same year; I feel like it was 18/19ish as well.
P.S. hopefully you’re going to do some analysis on Pluto; his aesthetic on paper is impossible to explain; if there are Auteur’s in Manga they’re one of my favorites!
I always watch your anime videos until the point where the anime isnamed and then I go watch them before I come back for your input. I have not been disappointed in the slightest yet ❤
Oh yay! Thank you so much for letting me know this! There’s more where that came from.
You watched Babylon, you watched Perfect Blue, you gotta finish the Triad with Welcome to the N.H.K.
You took the words right out of my mouth
Watched it. Definitely plan on doing a video on it sometime soon.
Now that I've read Notes From Underground by Dostoevsky, I feel like N.H.K. is a spiritual successor to that story. Only that it's told in the view of a modern Japanese hikikomori instead of a Russian recluse.
Okay, but if we boil it down it is the argument as follows:
Suicide/chi in some instances is a slippery slope argument and can be used to make it more and more okay in society. We see that right now in Canada, where it started assisted death was introduced for terminally ill people and now it is suggested to the mentally ill.
The only way to avoid a slippery slope to not let doubt creep in. And yes, that is a harsh stance, but I assume it is also pretty much what Nietzsche would have seen fit.
Not canadian but from the news i saw it seem like they are making a purely economic decision and so they advice suicide to anyone who ain't profitable to keep alive.
We are humans. Doubt will forever creep in. What we need to do is prevent doubt from settling in our minds, nesting there, and affecting our choices.
Suicide should be only justified when the person has no other option (for example- someone terminally ill who can't be cured and is on life support). Providing this to the mentally ill should count as a crime, as, for example, chronic depression is a mental illness and I don't think there's a need to explain how dumb letting them suicide is.
That is true only if you add human traces to the subject of analysis, in this case, death. Especially if you add morality (the most human of human traces): is "shi" good or evil? And the only correct answer is: neither. It simply is. And it touches everything and everyone eventually. Not even stars escape death. Now when you see it as it is (a fact, stripped down of any and every human attribute), the decision to continue living or not is, as stated by Albert Camus, the ultimate philosophical dylemma, one that only you and you alone can answer. You see, it is not the "doubt" that leads to a "slippery slope", it is reality - and it is reality, so stripped down of human attributes, cold, dead and real as it in fact is, that will lead to Nihilism. Nihilism is the realisation that reality is "void", "empty" ("nihil") of human traces: there is no "sense", no "purpose", no "meaning" - these can only exist in human minds, not in anything "per se". Reality (and everything else included in the package, even life and death), simply IS! When you realise this, THEN you are free to ask yourself the ultimate dylemma proposed by Camus. Then, you can face the real freedom: freedom to decide if you would rather "continue" or not. And no one, absolutely NO ONE, should be obliged to do what they don't want to, no matter what others may think.
You should read his books. They are good, and Camus won't stop on the dylemma: he presents arguments pro and against both decisions. Camus faces "self-shi" as the subject of his studies, yet he could say "I'm a Humanist, Kevin! Maybe the last Humanist!".
Let's not forget how in creation of the this program they also, near immediately, started trying to push it on to former soldiers and a depressed teenager. Anyone an unfeeling entity that only sees would deem "invalid."
@@GeekNewzsuicide is justified whenever someone decides that life is not worth it for them personally. No one else can make that judgment for them and it goes without saying how dumb it would be to let dipshits like you be the arbiters of when it's justified, no one chooses to be born into this world and so everyone should be allowed to opt out if they so choose.
"Haunt your thoughts for years"
I'm listening...
When I found this video, I put it to one side and watched the anime over the course of a couple of weeks, then returned to this video.
Overall, your video was much more thought provoking than the series itself.
I have a few problems with the series, one being the final conclusion being oversimplified to where I almost outright disagree with it, and another being that no legitimate argument was ever made in favour of the bad guys (if you're effectively having to hypnotize everyone to make them agree with you, clearly you don't have a convincing argument).
That being said, I love your video on it, and I'm glad you pointed me towards this anime.
I especially love the nuance you revealed in the underlying message, regarding how good and evil have to coexist.
What a statement. Each video is great, I have watched of you. Keep doing your thing, dont stop! UWU
I love the Talos Principle music you chose. Fits well.
Watched this anime because of your video and I absolutely LOVE IT. You have very good taste and thoughts my good sir!
Wonderful video as always, Max! hope you watch Haibane Renmei one day
17:26 thats such a brilliant conclusion. Though I haven't seen the show myself, judging by what you're saying, the show should have been more fleshed out. Possibly extending itself with a couple more episodes. The direction also seems to have waned a lot in the later half of the show, maybe I need to read the source material to get a better experience. Awesome video man
Oh yeah this one! This was a weird one but I liked it.
Kinda made me questions what is just and what is not. Hmm...yes. Hard to wrap my head around.
But thank you for the video! Love these anime analysis videos. 🙏
Not surprised Sōsuke Aizen got involved in politics after he left Soul Society. It suits him.
Watched the whole anime just because of how interesting the plot you described was in the vid! It was an intriguing watch, still not sure how I feel about the ending but damn did it take balls to make it. Cool video too.
I feel like this is a very potent subject for this day and age. Sowing seeds of doubt is so easy to someone who doesn’t have much experience or wisdom or knowledge. The guy wants to die to give his heart to his child? That would give the kid a year or two maybe five If the transplant is perfect and the child’s body accepts it perfectly. Heart transplants are not an answer but it’s the best we can do sometimes. That child needs his father to care for him more than his father’s organ which will not last very long. The kid would get his life a bit longer but he’ll be alone when he dies. Sad either way but education on the subjects to be chosen is so important.
Bro this video didn't showed to me when it was posted, i almost lost this amazing video!

"Shut up"
I have been waiting for so long
Thanks
NEW MAX DERRAT VIDEO ITS A GOOD DAY! ❤
I like to believe that life is the price of death.
This is truly such an underrated anime. I recommend it to anyone that says anime ain't worth watching. Thank you for the video !
your video titles always make me laugh
Damn, this vibes so closely with Psycho:Pass, and I did not know it existed. I must now watch it!
I suggest you watch the French mini series Ad Vitam, that talks about similar subjects. It’s a SF thriller series in which people don’t die anymore. It’s pretty good.
I can tell you this much. I am glad I am not "shi" because if I was, I wouldn't be able to watch this very thought-provoking video. I never heard of this anime, but the way you described it makes it seem very interesting.
4 months later, I finally finished Babylon, can't lie it was avg for most of the eps but maannnnn, the last few episodes made it worth it. the definition of good that they finally came upon was quite good. I myself had that philosophy, it's not about birth or death, but to continue in life, however it is, till you simply can't.
The irony that the villains name is Ai is so good XD.
Thanks for this video Max, definitely an anime that made me think about stuff
I would love if you also check out another anti suicide/death series like "Ikigami" (Decease Paper). I believe it delivered a far more powerful message when it comes to anti suicide topic.
Ikigami goat
Babylon was one of my favourite anime I watched in the past years. Even though the pacing and tone completely shifted after episode 7 I still enjoyed it.
I think the people who were bashing on that second half were mostly the ones who were just expecting a good detective story. Which is fair I guess. It was a pretty harsh contrast.
Also the soundtrack is fantastic.
The most profound moment in anime history
Ghost in the Shell 2. :P
@@maxderrat Would it be possible to share some thoughts and review Legend of The Galactic Heroes? I think you will find it intriguing
When Maaa appeared in Made in Abyss and maaa'd all over the abyss.
The most profound moment of profound moments xD LOVE YOU MAX @@Potatotenkopf
@@maxderrat Innocence was just on a whole other level. I very much appreciated your take on it. ^^
Baby wake up. Max Stay Yellow just dropped😊
The most profound youtuber strikes again 😅 awesome piece my friend.
Last year, 2023, there was a Japanese film called "plan 75" that has similar opening act to this anime and it tackles the same theme. I think it would be great if max or anyone reading this comment can give that film a go, it really haunted me for a while.
I was interested in that anime, but didnt watch it as the reviews of it(on the site I use to sort my anime addiction) were pretty bad.
Well then, I'll definitely watch it. Stopped the video halfway through, just to stave off spoilers. But this sounds like something right up my alley.
Informative as always.
Thanks for your kind words. And thanks for sticking around as long as you have, my man.
Nietzhe wasn't saying that the credibility of religion was damaged, he was saying that science created a seduction that pulled people away from the deeper moral truths that religion had to offer. He wasn't celebrating the end of God, he was bemoaning the state of society.
I'd love to see you do a video on a movie called thank you for smoking.
Back in school I did a paper on the morality of Dr. Kevorkian who assisted people with terminal illnesses in their shi. At the time I actually agreed with his ideal. Healthy people can say it's wrong because they don't have to go through the pain of kemo
Then I brought up that what about self shi and how it is neither morally good nor morally evil as we don't know what's going on in a person's life to lead to that point. There was someone who counter argued about the morality of abortion which I argued that it doesn't give the person a chance to have a good or bad life.
There was someone who committed self shi that year. For a week straight I was hated with pure malice through that school because of that paper.
I'd like to see a breakdown of attack on Titan. I feel there's alot to chew on there and you'd do a great job of it!
Hey there Max! I'd like to offer a quick and painless suggestion. At around the 4-minute mark you talked about the probable demonetization of this video. Then you asked of us viewers "who enjoy the themes discussed in the video" to lend you a hand for the obvious reasons. My suggestion is that you replaced the idea of "enjoyment" for "engagement". Because I think it sounds odd to "enjoy" this topic, but I can understand and back up to be "interested", "curious", or "intrigued" by it; as well as what this series is about; and what you have to say regarding it.
I just had a rushing thought, hope it helps. Everything's cool besides, wholly appreciate the effort of putting all this together!
I think the only point to life is to see if you ever find a reason to live, however, we're not allowed to chose if we're born, we should at least have the choice to die on our own terms
Medical Assistance In Dying.
Anime has become real.
The Wheel of Time books deal with this theme as well; the series comes to a very similar conclusion to the issue as well.
Starting off with Nietzsche and leading into Anime is an absolute power move and I’m all for it.
Recommended anime to watch would be Haibane Renmei, hopefully you see this, thx for video
I got a 12 episode anime called blue lock. I want you to check it out cuz there is a philosophy which directly challenges the thought of "being a good person."
Makes me think of the plot of Castlevania Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow where the antagonist (Celia Fortner ?) says that for Good to live, Evil must always be present, thus resurecting Dracula each cycle.
Ever thought about working on your own stories? Your grasp of deep philosophical themes is impressive, I bet with the right people you could create something phenomenal.
You need to watch and/or read Land of the Lustrous. It’s given me anxiety, depression, and a feeling of emptiness like no other, and far after finishing it.
Oh boy :D
Read. Watching is very far from enough.
cg slop 🤮
you should check out Attack on Titan honestly, it's packed full of intriguing philosophical elements and I would love to see a video about it from you!
Great! Max uploaded. Now it’s time to find some free time
beautiful video, loved it
You would like latter-day saint philosophy. I would recommend the source as many people misinterpret or wrongfully criticize it.
18:03 Rinaldo's shop music from castlevania: lament of innocence :D
Great video ❤ someone knows music in the background maybe?
Fear Effect Sedna - Story of our life
Talos Principle OST.
Land of the lustrous is the craziest most amazing story in anime I've seen and read , the manga is still hunting me i recommend everyone check it out
The whole "embrace of death" thing on a society-wide basis and the discovery of a human revolution in the name of "shi"(death) directly reminds me of the history of Rain World.
This is nuts, this video is nuts, making the movie is nuts, and enjoying this move would be nuts.
Is there any link between the large tower the 60 people jump from in Shiniki and the Tower of Babel?
10:23 is that Die Toteninsel playing in the bg?
Thomas Ligotti also has a few stories that imply that death is preferable to life
Babylon is on my re-watch list will come back to this video once I am done with that.
A recent live action Japanese film Plan 75 deals with some similar themes, very touching I found it, very humane, not working on the spiritual level so much as how the new law effects different people emotionally - it does look carefully at the idea of the value of life though
For me the most critical episode is the one where she was hacking up that lady and she asked the question "who decided that killing is bad?". I think it was episode 5 or 6
You gotta do an analysis on persona 3. Trust me, it's worth it.
I cannot possibly applaud any louder.
This anime predicted the future- it just got the wrong country.
this political thriller stuff about how politicians and the news media present reasonable exceptions to things that used to be inexcusable is a little bit too much like real life politics, haha. I could name at least 5 things that were legalized because of contrived stories to make them seem sympathetic or good.
Another max derrat banger
should make a video on wonderful everyday, that would be perfect for your channel.
personally, i have problems with the last parts of the anime because it has different ending than the original manga/novel.
@maxderrat have you try playing caligula effect?
Ever thought about reviewing the recent anime adaptation of *"Pluto"* by Naoki Urasawa.
Its an phenomenal retelling of Astro Boy's most famous story into a philosophical detective story.
Covering human/robot relations, evolution of AI, hate, and the futility of war.
Its one of my most favorite anime ever.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
500 zeus...
Dude, I am watching it right now. I am four episodes in and holy crap is it NICEEEEEEE.
@@maxderratGrew up watching astro boy as a kid.
Loved blade runner & ghost in the shell as an adult.
It blew my mind finding out my favorite astro boy story was adapted into a detective story.
🤯❤️
I've been a fan of the manga for years and the anime adaptation was a dream come true. 🥰 I'm so excited that more people are experiencing it now! It's such a great story!
This was a very thoughtful video, and it's made me evaluate my own feelings and thoughts about nihilism. I find nihilism comforting to an extent, and not in a suicidal way. I grew up in a cult (Mormonism), where every step of life was dictated. How I dress, what words I use, how I use my body, when and what I eat, who I marry, how I spend my money--it's incredibly controlling. And the purpose of it all is to achieve Exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom, which is the highest level of Heaven in LDS doctrine. Many people are afraid to leave the LDS church because if they do, what are they living for? What is the purpose of life if there's nothing beyond it?
When I realized it was all a con (Joseph Smith was literally convicted of fraud, and his cult was just another way for him to extort money from his followers and gain access to vulnerable women and children for his own sexual gratification), I realized that what happens beyond life doesn't matter. I have my own personal beliefs about it, but I can't know for sure, and it really doesn't matter because if there's nothing beyond, I won't know. If what happens beyond doesn't matter, and this life doesn't matter, then that means I'm free.
I am free to act according to my own conscience. I am free to determine what that means and to change my mind, and grow, and regret, and atone, and do better, and decide what ALL OF THAT MEANS. I don't have to act according to a moral code that makes me sick to my stomach (I am trans and queer, and Mormon doctrine, like many conservative Christian doctrines, performs psychological and sometimes physical violence on us), acting in what I am told is "right" in fear of an eternity of torment when my mind and heart and spirit are telling me that it is WRONG. I am free to examine that cognitive dissonance and strive for a better way, even though I may fail. If there is no innate meaning to life, then I am not bound to it; I create meaning in my own way, and I am happier now, with no certain answers, than I ever was with a "God" who made questions obsolete.
Great video and anime👍
Oh so it's set in Canada
Another good anime series is Pluto and Stein's gate

What's up, homie?
"This anime will haunt your thoughts for years"
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
I have to strongly disagree about the series,
1st off the criticsm about Makase having supernatural powers burns away the core of the arguement in Itsuki's debate, to delife based on free will or based on the "needs" he presented. And it's done so clumsily that it's frankly insulting to the viewer.
So what was the point of the debate (I'll get back to this) and investigation when it wastes the viewers time?
2. Makase's arguement about what is good/evil is far too simplistic as it narrows people into 2 shades white or black but most people are actually grey of various mixes of the 2.
It's like trying to debate with a teenager who poses life questions on the internet which I can assure you, whatever answer Makase recieves, she would just not accept it because she only does it to get a kick out of people as she does to the Main Character, which most teens who pose such questions are not looking for answers but to gain validity in their beliefs.
3. Back to Itsuki's debate, I can argue that Itsuki never need to get on this platform, he can just do it anytime without the exposure if he was really wants to, there are various ways... (of course I won't explain it here) if he really cared about not prolonging the suffering of his young son. And he wouldn't even need to expose he did intentionally de-life himself. (there is a stated law about using de-life self would make organs transplantation not prioritized to the person the giver wrote in their statement).
But here's the crucifix of the consequence of this law, what prevents from it being abused?
If you didn't know in Canada, they have now voted to recommend assisted de-life for the disabled, instead of using state funds to support the disabled. That also includes people with PTSD, instead of recommending mental health services. It is always the vulnerable being targeted 1st.
Japan's discussion was even being plagued about mass assisting de-life on old people as argued by the economist, Yusuke Narita to save tax funds, nevermind that the answer that stares at everyone is to just tax the rich. (Instead the poor and retired Japanese are now taxed 20%, when previously they were taxed about 10%). Of course it doesn't end there as Narita also argues that medical surgery that saves people from terrible pain, also wastes tax funds (as stated by his fans as they watched his livestreams).
Itsuki never assures anyone because no one seems to challenge him on this even though, assisted de-life have a huge opposition within the majority of the medical community nor do the show ever tries to have professionals in mental health. When we are shown time and time again the LDP party (ruling party in Japan) does not care about the people to the point Japanese people do not have any hope in their government that they're so apathetic about politics.
Another part that is not mentioned but slightly shown in imagery, the commonality in the 60 people or even the people shown to be attracted to Itsuki's proposition, that they are never from upper class families. And then use US politicians (to avoid legal disputes from using Japanese politicians) AKA the rich as the deciders of people's fates...and the rich cannot seem to understand basic fundamental ethics and needs to have a long debate over it. Unfortunately this too is massively simplified as many politicians particularly in the US would much rather severely underfund mental health (and even health care). Nevermind there's a long dark history of sterilizing POC in the US...POC would have every right to fear for their lives if such a law is passed.
In Belgium, after just legalizing in 2002 about just 7 year laters statistics, 32% of assisted de-life were found to be involuntary.
The series also does not mention the cause and effect from self de-life, that it affects people who knew the de-lifer. Studies have shown that such people in assisted de-life are more likely to do the same, plagued by depression. Within a few years. So then, does it really benefit anyone?
I can also argue that this exposure, harms Itsuki's young son because many in Japanese society isn't going to look at the young child fondly and would call the child cut-throat for using his father...
4. Trying to make a great villainess...based on...forced coitus. Sigh this is such an old tired trope. Nevermind the forced coitus is not about carnal desire but about control and humiliation while presenting carnal desire as sin in the show. It feels like the novel came from the 90s but nope the 2010s. Disappointing.
Overall, the show is more like the musings of a teenager barely exposed to politics or even philosophy.
Oh, Babylon, yeah I remember this. Incredibly grisly, but in retrospect seemingly for the sake of it, and also the plot makes very little sense.
But Death isn't evil and Life isn't good. It's about Chaos and Order.
I understand why it's disturbing, as most people don't see things the way I do, so I can be afraid for society, but personally, this anime, as you've presented it, doesn't make me challenge any of my beliefs at all.
I share your view too. :)
I know it's already talked much, but I want your insight on Cowboy Bebop please. Thanks anyway..
I already see the seeds of this happening here in Canada.

The Most Anime History in the Profound Moment
Time to pause the video and watch the anime before I spoil myself
