dessin sangoku petit facile the dreaming boy is a realist scan raw
Now i'm not a teenager, let alone a girl, cause i have 2 things hanging and causing me terrifying pain when they hit each other, but i would assume that if a semi-stranger invited me to live in his house with other 2 men then i'd really have something to think about. It's a terrible world we live in you know.But our resident idiot accepted the hottie's offer and she soon found out that the Souma family is anything but ordinary. In fact she learned that certain members of the family are transexuals and no that's not it,wait a minute.
Instead of simply being the laminated copy, it could have been like other animated works that truly dive deep into this concept, such as Satoshi Kon's Millennium Actress and Perfect Blue. Both featured films containing women who slowly lose their minds and grips on reality as they descend further into a fever dream of delirium and jumbled memory. It didn't just carry around psychology like some fashion accessory, but it made it a very real thing for the viewers looking on and the characters that took the plunge into the never-ending spiral of irrational flatlining.
See that the protagonist suffers a loss that he can't simply fix with a jump off a cliff. Have stakes. If respawning to checkpoints is the only way to advance the narrative, the very least the creators could do would be to place Suburu at the crossroad of a decision that would allow advancement only if someone else were to perish. Let there be permanent blood on his hands, not just a never-ending clean slate. Don't resolve psychological trauma like it's just some phase people get over after a few days. Don't just wave around psychology like it's a toy. People don't simply undo damage because the plot demands a rational mind in a given scenario. This shouldn't change even for Suburu.
