Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.

Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Already one of us? Make your presence known:

Witnessing her antics is hilarious, but it's also pretty embarrassing.

Also depressing. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I can definitely relate to her outlook on "popular" kids so I can't help but feel sorry for the poor girl. Also, oh god duckface in anime, WUT

heart-under-blade Posts: 36,354 Group: Iris Member #2 Joined: March 20, 2005 Gender: Male Country: #0# True Name: Saturos Theme Song: https://youtu.be/mh5vyvMGhqE	how saterrible envisions the ending of Watamote, after episode 1, do not click if allergic to Saterrible So I think this is going to be a tragedy, ending with her going crazy and shooting up the school (judging from the yandere opening and the "no matter how I look at it, it's your guys' fault I'm not popular" -- the latter seems to imply that she's thought about it in all possible ways, and still blames others. We know she's mentally unstable, so... That way, after the ending, we've humanized and understood the mental turmoil of a shooter and what drives them to that, and by laughing at her antics, we have shown ourselves to be complicit in the system. Not serious, but fun to imagine.

I hope so, anyway. In actual news, uuuugh Simple was right, Watamote causes me like physical pain from the awkwardness. but I do see what Simple meant in "if" you're attached to the protagonist (episode 2) Since she's kinda an asshole. Between vehement internal insults of whatever "normal" people she walks by (though I understand it's envy), and most especially having a fantastic time with an old friend, and then shutting her out/ignoring her just because said friend has a boyfriend. Pluuuus in being depressing, showing a scene that the guy who drew a "cute" portrait of her just draws all his girls that way, so it was nothing to do with her as a result. Remains to be seen if I can keep watching, since I'm leaving to go back to school and thus can't watch things with Silvy anymore. Also the depressingness. But seriously, you all are so easy to get reactions from. =P

Yeah, it's probably one of the more realistic "high school" anime I've seen. >_> What's Blood Lad about, Arty? Sunday Without God up to ep 8 more philosoraptoring from Alis, but the split between objective/subjective world is always a pretty interesting subject. Pretty Kantian. Not sure how "destroy everything" could relate to objective/subjective -- maybe kill everyone/make everyone pass on? Also this episode: Alis: BALL SO HARD MOTHER[radio edit]ERS WANNA FINE ME Tanya and Ai exchange was pretty facepalmworthy, but oh well, rest of episode was still good Next episode should be good, "birthplace of gravekeepers." hnng
