They aren’t ghosts though, they are real people. We live in an age of science that has demystified the supernatural, but if Shokuzai is anything to go by, we were never terrified of those things anyway, we were terrified of each other. Akiko’s brother moved into an abandoned warehouse, the kind of dead building you’ll find in every city in every part of the world, and made his home there. Why? Why do people do such strange things? This is a story filled with such illogical people and that, precisely, is what’s so scary about it: chaos and the idea that, for all of our progress towards a modern world, someone or something can still be truly unknowable.

Indeed, it feels like Majestic Prince is preparing us for harsher times, but I’m really beginning to sense a tightness and strength in Team Rabbits, too. If there’s one thing that keeps me coming back to anime time and again, it’s in search of these long form stories of shifting eras and friendships, where heroes and dreams are made and lost through a sheer force of will and persistence. I’m not sure if Majestic Prince will ascend the pantheon of great anime those words may recall, but it’s an unpredictable and honest trier, and I’m behind it all the way.

It was a naive thing for [Amy] to do. [Ledo’s] attack was her order, but this whole idea of responsibility brings into question [his] role, too. He used to be a soldier, yes, which is to say, he would act on the behalf of others. He was a weapon, pure and simple, but now he’s alone and stranded is it still fine for him to abdicate responsibility like this? It’s an idea that ties into the underlying themes of Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, as mooted by writer Gen Urobuchi on Wikipedia, where he talks of a story that’s “[…] aimed towards those in their teens and 20s, who are either about to enter into society or recently have, and is meant to cheer them on and to encourage them that “going out into the world isn’t scary”.”

They’re upset because it’s Kyoto Animation. In deciding to create Swimming Anime, Kyoto Animation took women off their pedestal for these men, and they’rebutthurt about it. To these dudes, all women are ideals but especially the geek girl. For the otaku, most girls are impossible – they’re too girly, too chatty, too cute, too womanly, too whatever - but the geek girl? He might actually have a chance with her.

U mad, bro? Fujoshis, Swimming Anime and Kyoto Animation
