  • Haven’t read the manga, but at least in stand alone complex when talking about the accident and her recovery in third person, I feel like she was referred to as a girl, though I’m honestly not sure if that’s important at all, the way she talks about herself in the adaptations I’ve seen, she seems to put her personality above everything else relating her past or identity, she is her actions, not her backstory (or that’s how I perceive it in the versions I’ve seen, except maybe the first season of the latest one).


  • Eh, I don’t see why being a woman has to be an important part of a character, it’s cool to see when it is, but people can have many important qualities in their life besides their gender.

    As a kid I didn’t really think much of the gender when thinking about characters, heck, one of my biggest heroes was Chihiro from spirited away and I’m sure as heck she didn’t have a penis like I do.













  • The author himself says his work isn’t necessarily scary, but rather that it makes him scared and shares it through his lens. I remember reading that description in a foreword on one of the first books of him that I read and it stuck with me. I don’t think I read any of his works and felt it was scary either, but they are creepy and I can appreciate that.

    I haven’t read it in a few years so some details escape me. I do remember it feeling comparable to a b horror movie, kinda generic, kinda bad but in an enjoyable way.

    Do not remember what the political tone was, so I can’t comment on that.

    Edit: thought this was about Edgar Allan Poe’s book.
