So, I have a two questions about two anime:

Question 1: Guilty Crown

I would like to know what you guys think about the .. thing Inori/Mana offers several time to Shu. I am talking about this.. bridge made from wire, red, in her hands. You can see it here
I myself think it means her burden on Earth, her symbol of being Eve. After Shu takes it, she is redeemed from her fate and leaves Earth/dies.
But, what about Mana ? She offers it to Shu, too. I thought it means if he take it, he will marry her. So this 'wire constructing' has two different meanings or what would you say ?

Question 2: Angel Beats!

Sadly I only watched a dubbed version of Angel Beats! which didn't translated letters...
What is written on the door of the NPC Yuri meets after escaping the shadows ? Why is this NPC so important ?
And, the creator of the world is still part of it, although he doesn't show up, right ? Or is Otonashi the creator, as he remains in the world and waits for Kanades return, the same way like the NPC told the story of the world to Yuri ?

Q1:Guilty Crown

Note: I believe the "string thing" it is called "Cat cradle", it is a very popular game...

In the beginning of the anime, Shu was a total... loser (I can not remember the word in English which I want to use here, lets say "loser" is close enough), he was so bad that he couldn't even do a game with his idol. I believe that at this point it was a representation of his mindset (English words...), maturity and courage. It was focal to show how much of a loser his character is, so he can "mature" over the span of the series.

It can also hint about the "Red string of fate", it is a legend about a god who tied two people with a red string. The two were fated to be lovers, regardless of anything. Also this string can not be broken.

Q2: Angel Beats

I have watched this anime AGES ago, it was one of my very first anime and I totally loved it, sadly I do not remember much of the details. As I remember the NPCs episodes looked more like some sort of filling to me or some way of expanding the story to fill a full season... They looked kind of forced, totally unexpected and inappropriate.

Question 1:

Maybe its weakling, but I get what you mean with loser.

Ah okay, very interesting ! Relating to the red string of fate and your thought about being mature and bravery, there is clear relation between Mana/Inori and Shu and the meaning of this cat cradle to different times.

Question 2

oh okay :/

They looked kind of forced, totally unexpected and inappropriate.

THAT is exactly why I didn't like the last episodes of Angel Beats!

 

[Ardenian]

Did someone watch Sankarea ? What do you think, how to interpret the end ?

Spoiler

Did Rea died or did she just did not eat enough leaves ?
I wonder, as there was no time given to the viewer how long she is going to 'live', so, what do you think ?
Did her Zombie life expired that moment ? Or just a moment of weakness due to not having eaten enough ?

 

[Ardenian]

Sooo, Season 2 of Tokyo Ghoul...

A few questions:

- What is so special about Arima and his weapon ? Why it is a black case with golden borders ?

- Ken is dead ? The end does not define anything, beside Arima's weapon being sticked in the snow, like a symbol of borderness, not allowing Ken to become human again

- Who is the father the twins talk about ? The doctor who also made Ken a ghoul ?
It is not Kuzen, is it ?

- Did Hiden love Ken, what do you think ?

2. No. The manga continues after that. Kaneki becomes an Ghoul Investigator after being brainwashed pretty much.
3. This is skipped in the anime, read the manga if you want the answer
4. Nope.

 

[Ardenian]

Alright, thank you! I already thought none answers...

 

[Ardenian]

Have you watched Parasyte ?

Spoiler

How would you interpret Migi's departure at the end ?

Tokyo Ghoul spoiler:

Keneki gone full mad, I have no idea why he looks like that. I saw a comment stating that it was his full form. Like when he turn into a half-kaguja(no idea how it's spelt) and this is supposed to be his full form I suppose.

 

[Ardenian]

^That's the reason why I rarely read manga, too much shit going on none understands.

 

[Ardenian]

Lol, just realized I can google my question, haha ...

Well, anyways, what is your interpretation of the end of Umineko ?

 

[Chaosy]

Never seen it, sorry x)
