Ranting about GSeed...of course
13 Jan 2005 12:10 pmAnyone care to enlighten me to what Shinji's personality is like, apart from the fact that "he cries and whines a lot"...? I'd hate to think that Kira is like Shinji....*shudders*
Since no one's gonna bother reading my long rant, I'm not going to clog up my friends page ^^;
( Disclaimer: VERY VERY Long Rant With Many Spoilers )
Now that I've sort of calmed down a bit, I have to say that especially towards the end the plot becomes very convoluted. A lot of things go unexplained, and a lot of new developments thrown in that are really confusing or even a bit pointless. The last two episodes were full on massacre, and are quite rushed. With some of the flaws of the series though, you could interpret it either way - either that the series was bad, or that the thing had been intentional. Using Fllay as an example, one way of looking at her character is that she had a lot of potential considering the sway she had over Kira, but was never really employed properly in the script. The other way of interpreting her is that someone "with that sort of willpower" doesn't stand a chance in war, which is why most of her selfish efforts go to waste, and that the course of warfare won't be so easily changed by someone of her caliber.
^shrug^
I just think that this series is quite interesting because you could look at it just as it is, or you could go a bit abstract. Not to say that this is some sort of anime masterpiece, of course, but just that it's quite open to interpretation. And I guess a lot of the themes just resonate, considering what the world has been going through for the past few years...
