Babylon

[Momogari]

This is my prediction.

  Spoiler:  

The US president might ask people, if they want their family members to commit suicide. Even if 1 person in the family wants to commit suicide, there will be e.g. 2 or more family members who don't want that person to commit suicide. So there will be 2 or more against 1. I wonder, if this will be the resolution. Or maybe something else altogether?

What do you think?

Hmm. It's a fair idea. I don't know though. I have no prediction.

  Spoiler:  

But at least it seems to be the case that Magase is a part of the organisation which "promotes" suicide law, because she acted in an organised way. I wonder, if she's the head or just a soldier of this organisation.

Ep. 11

This is almost the last ep. I wonder how the whole story will end!

[unoduetre]

  Spoiler:  

Oh, a biblical reference. So that's why this show is called Babylon.

[unoduetre]

LOL, Canada.

  Spoiler:  

It's a commentary on the current events as well, ha ha. I like it.

[unoduetre]

Lol!

  Spoiler:  

The politicians from each country are presented in an interesting way. E.g. the UK politician is ok with breaking partnerships (it's an allusion ot Brexit). Some things they say are related to current political events or to each country characteristics and political ideologies. E.g. Canada's portrayal is brilliant. Well done the author!!!

Of course the US president is the opposite. Ha ha!

  Spoiler:  

Ha ha, the trolley problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem

[unoduetre]

  Spoiler:  

Ha ha. An amazing final scene! I can't wait for the next episode. Fortunately the US president got the information about her existence and her ability from the MC beforehand. This is a crucial element. Imagine what would happen, if he didn't get it.

Time to watch the last episode (._.`)

[Momogari]

Oh is it done now? I guess I should watch 11 and 12

France:





Y'know...that really is french.

I'm reminded of their secular laws.

[Momogari]

what the fuck

I suppose I shouldn't have expected anything satisfying to come from this anime.



Well that was really good. Really. Thank you for making me watch it uno. Thank god it's over. I need to get the taste out of my mouth now.

I'll go watch Dorohedoro and see people ripping other people apart without compunction and I'll cheer while they're doing it and somehow this is better.
You know, it's not the violence. Violence isn't the issue.
God what is it.
The only difference between a sorcerer getting cut up by Nikaido and the police lady getting axed up by Magase Ai is...empathy. Also an external view of good and evil and having good win over evil or vice versa. I certainly put value in that. But probably the strong reaction I have to this series is more that the characters I see bad things happen to are characters I empathize with. And that's definitely a constructed element of storytelling. They did this to me on purpose. It's not my fault.
