People love talking about symbolism and how figurative the show is when it comes to Utena, and while some stuff was made really obvious, there's loads of other stuff that seem like they're supposed to be symbolic or analogies of some kind but I sure as hell can't work out a consistent way to fit it all together.

The character relationships are probably the most important aspect, which is what all that symbolism helps illustrate. Not to mention the movie being titled Adolescence.

Seems to me you have to say that about a worrying amount of stuff in the show for it to start making sense.
Squealer did nothing wrong
He lost

This. And he lost to a species he tried to annihilate. So yeah, he had it coming.

How do I make my shitty webcomic get published, gain huge popularity, and have it animated like what happened to pic related?
>>137187765
Overhype it.
>>137187765
Have a lot of ¥¥ and bribe a Japanese publishing company into putting it in their magazines and overhyping it.
Be a good writer.
As fun as this show was, is this really considered an anime?
>>137187418
Explain what you believe anime means.
Well gee it was made in Japan by a Japanese studio by a Japanese director for the Japanese public. It must be a french cartoon.
>>137187418
Nope, its live action.

Ripoff of Champloo x DTB to be honest
>>137186964
It's stupidly mediocre. Mira is cute, though.

This is the best anime I've seen in like 3 years.
>>137186368
Now watch Repeat.
>>137186368
What is it
I'm guessing you didn't watch a lot of anime in three years then.
Why is Nero a girl and potrayed in a sympathetic light? Pretty much everyone in Rome hated him, and he was a selfish evil bastard, not to mention incompetent as fuck and a child murderer.

its not only nero, faggot

What is this face trying to convey?
Inhuman speed
Remember when Kill la Kill used to be the most popular thing on /a/ and no one would ever shut up about it, but now it's cringey as shit and instantly gets you ostracized for posting such garbage?
I can't wait till One Punch Man gets that treatment.
>>137185817
It's only a matter of time. And when it happens, I will laugh my ass off.
Was it autism?
>>137182549
Nope. Just complete absence of social contact.
She cries whenever she is supposed to be happy afterall. This made her seem like a feral child.
After the puppeteer left however....
And then MC was a bird.
It was cancer.
Worst show I've watched so far.
Been reading it this weekend. Seems pretty good so far. On chapter 58.
Who do you think will win the boku bowl?
I'm hoping for Fujiwarabut it probably won't happen
Livetl for chapter 94 95 fucking when?
>>137183294
That's actually what got me interested in reading it.
