  • Is this really for children, though? Yes there’s no “blocker” like too much violence or horniness, but it might be… boring.

    I know that enjoying it as a grownup had a lot to do with realizing subtle things about that dealing with loss thing. If you’re an 11 year old and might miss things like the ring/marriage thing, it would essentially be a whole lot of filler around some rather sparse jokes and fight scenes (which I think are only the “side dish” in this anime).

    And even if they DO get it, I don’t know how much 11 year olds ENJOY being sad.








  • But if the best of what you can do with it doesn’t make sense, then why do it? It’s not like it’s helping, just distracting from the parts that DO work.

    And kind of the same thing again: The universe wasn’t born with forms, either.

    When we did a project for a redesign of our web app at work, when I showed stuff to the UXer he said “I see this is designed by a programmer. Because a programmer says: But it works.”

    And indeed, that is how all of the comments I read here feel; that things like a denounced search are just irrelevant toys, instead of a solid part of the toolkit of a professional modern developer.
