I don't understand this reaction. You want to love it but don't? Why don't you? Is there something about the show you didn't understand?So, I think I finally reached a new point in anime.
I watched SSY after Zath insisted I should.
And...I honestly feel like this is a case of an anime I SHOULD love, but I just can't.
It's honestly frustrating me a bit. I dug up some reactions to when it ended too from the old thread, and I still can't make heads or tails of this.
I will say though-
Squealer did nothing wrong.
But seriously, the whole "We are human!" speech he had was great. I found the whole show blurred the lines well between right and wrong, good and evil. But I feel like it outsmarted me. Like there's something I just can't quite grasp from it.
It did get me to feel frustrated at times with their treatment of the Monster Rats. I can't say I ever found the way any characters reacted to them to be reasonable. Kiroumaru was easily the best character though by a long shot.
It's something I WANT to give a 10 to. But I just can't. To me, the 8-10 range is something that not only do I have to love myself, but have an overwhelming desire to suggest it to others when discussing anime.
Maybe I need to watch it again. I don't quite know. Or hear more opinions on it.
