    Hell, The protestants who founded America were a bunch of ornery bastards who couldn't stand the sinful nature of Europeans.

    Seems that there was a Madoka discussion here recently. A short while ago, I'd probably be annoyed at that. But having just read the first volume of the manga adaptation, I... well, I'm still not sure what to think about it. It's not completely awful, but I can't say whether it's good. I have to read more, but I fear that it will become exactly what I expect: Dark in such a way that it only causes apathy. That I simply can't care about the characters anymore. "Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy" in tropese.

    That's pretty much a death knell for the work in question for me and one of the worst things that could happen. It's for me the biggest flaw of Invisible War, which, as a disappointing Deus Ex sequel, was quite flawed anyway. And it killed the entire work of Mohiro Kitoh for me and made me wary of Urobuchi's (and with that Madoka). If I'd just dislike the characters, then I'd feel something about them at least, but apathy is the product of a total failure.

    I'm wondering if I should watch that animu. I went out of my way to watch Now And Then Here And There, after all.

    All I know about the show is the phrase "Friendzoned. By God."

    Honestly, while Madoka's dark, I have to say that it has a very likeable cast which makes the darkness of it incredibly bearable and even endearing, as they earn the happy ending they justly deserve. Hell, even Kyubey itself gets a sort of happy ending.

    Also, it's pretty amazing visually speaking.

    Of course, the middle 6 episodes are unwatchably boring and poorly-structured, and the ending doesn't make any sense if you spend more than a couple seconds thinking about it.  It might be decent if you just think of it as a not-very-actiony action anime though, I guess.

    Maybe.

  • SchitzoSchitzo

    watching the first episode.

    yup. slice of life "ease you into false security" cutesy girl drama all around. At least they don't have big tits. yet.

    Though wow, little miss dahknees is a bitch so far.

    It's a wish. Made on magic. There's nothing else to it except that.

    If it helps, it's like Rahxephon's ending.

    Ok, so I finished watching the first episode.

    The characters are all pretty much archetypes and all that jazz so far. It helps that they're ka-motherfucking-waii.

    Do you mean Homura (who is my favorite character so far)? Yeah, she seems quite a bitch at the beginning, but she has good intentions and she really has a good head on her shoulders. Unlike Mami.


    God, I'm such a tool...

  • SchitzoSchitzo

    I really like Mami so far because she has that "lol i don't even give a fuuuuuuuuck" look on her face so far. an animu "feels good man" face XD

    "Honestly, while Madoka's dark, I have to say that it has a very likeable cast which makes the darkness of it incredibly bearable"

    Really, Darkness induced Apathy only takes place when you can't care about the characters and I really ended up caring about these people right off the bat.

    Yeah, pretty much what I wanted to say. 

    Anyway, I've only slept 4 hours in 48. I'm sure this is bad. But I can't sleep and all I can do is type and whine

    > Spend the small hours of the morning on the internet.
    > Play Skyrim.

    Yesterday afternoon:
    > Friend drops by, invites me to a party later that evening.
    > Go to mall, he gets himself a copy of Skyrim, we buy booze for the night.
    > Go to his place, make preparations.
    > Have a couple of games of chess.
    > Uncharacteristically, win both against different opponents.

    Yesterday night:
    > More people show up.
    > Have dinner.
    > Smoke pot, drink booze.

    Wee hours of this morning (currently nearly 4am):
    > Go home.
    > Forget to bring the anime my friend had borrowed back.
    > Drat!
    > Get on internet.
    > Not tired.

    This evening:
    > Two hours of sword training.

    I just realized that "a boat" isn't really a good answer to "If you were stranded on a desert island, what would you bring?" After all, if the mainland is far away, you'd run out of energy and that's not even taking into account storms. Better to bring a GPS and a communication device that can contact mainland.
