the girl downstairs ending
Her resolve, and the resulting alliance she forms, is one of the show’s shining moments for developing its intrigue.
I’ve used the word “moment” more than once throughout the course of talking about *The Eminence in Shadow,* and that’s because it’s the show’s ultimate flaw. Underneath the choking meta humor jokes, the occasional bits of good action, mediocre characterization, and the show’s aesthetic managing to capture the balancing act it’s trying to perfect, the show is propelled by moments, not narrative. The good moments come too few and far between; it leaves the rest of the experience pertaining to the Cult of Diabolos (or “Diablos,” depending on who’s translating it) and its actual world lumbering along until it gets to the
next meme-worthy instance. It comes in both the form of emphasizing things that don’t really need to be emphasized, or blasting through things when it should stop and catch its breath. The result leaves *The Eminence in Shadow* as an organizational mess,
which diminishes its bright points greatly.
With its second season being announced, I do not doubt that there will surely be more masturbatory indulgences in its own supposed cleverness.

Here’s a little definition if you haven’t, Poe’s Law is that without a clear indication of the author’s intent the parody of something extreme can be mistaken for the real thing and if a real thing sounds extreme enough it can be mistaken for a parody. Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute falls exactly into this, if I wasn’t told like a dozen times by multiple people in social media groups that talk only about Light Novels and other places then I would fail to know that this thing is supposed to be a parody, after all, it plays .
Again, if Suzume, as a character, were focused on the adventure and growth rather than romance, she could have been well-
written. Her growth at the very end would have been beautiful; however, she is instead written to love an underdeveloped character rather than herself. As a therapist, I can certainly say that self-love will always be more important than loving a piece of furniture.
Enjoyment: 5/10
I really wanted to enjoy this one. At about a half an hour in, it seemed to be my favorite Shinkai film. From there, however, the quality of the story-telling and characters declined. I did enjoy the art and most of the soundtrack, but I was overall disappointed. This could have been the deepest Shinkai story, exploring more profound themes than he usually does, but instead he forced romance.

Report Dec 23, 2023 SoloNoc Not Recommended Oh my, what in the world did I just subject myself to? I had heard so much hype about this movie, and against my better judgment, I thought, "Why not give it a shot?" Even though I was skeptical from the get-go, especially after that lackluster trailer. I could sense the generic and boring vibes, and boy, was I right.
[6][8] As of at least the seventh volume of Black Clover, he did not utilize digital tools in his drafting, opting for traditional "analog" inking and toning by hand. [9] Tabata stayed motivated during the manga's long run due to his readers looking forward to each week's chapter. [10] Despite the
fast pace of most chapters, the author expressed a desire to occasionally
create slower yet still satisfying stories. [6] The dark fantasy seinen series Berserk by Kentaro Miura was a heavy influence on Tabata. He wanted to craft a shōnen equivalent of Berserk while also taking inspiration from other fantasy properties such as Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and the films of Guillermo del Toro. [7] Tabata professed to not be a big fan of fantasy role-playing video games like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy and used the few fantasy movies he did watch as reference material.
