Hallowe ~eeeeen
-
How did they end with so many rankers ? Were voters free to propose nominations of their own, or did Fuji include this many options (which wouldn't surprise me) :blink:
Also lol for Kobeni's car, I hope it makes a comeback in season 2.

Jump's popularity poll is a short selection of characters and a write in vote, in Gintama the author kept getting high rankings, kobeni's car, deku's shoe weren't in the poll, and any self respecting one piece popularity poll doesn't has Farafra as an option, and yet..
Sket dance also had some weird ones in its winers.

Fujimoto with another banger
-
This is fantastic. Fujimoto is such a versatile author.
-
Enjoyed it quite a bit. It's impressive how easily he tackles a completely different kind of story.
-
You can feel how personal this story is. There are plenty of parallels to real life events which makes this a good reread.
-
Well that One Shot was pretty amazing. It's taken me a little while to warm up to Fujimoto's work and his style, but I'm a big fan now for sure.
-
This was released on the same date as the anniversary of the Kyoto Studio's incident.
I think Fujimoto feels very strongly about what happened.
Great one-shot, one of the best and it hits even harder for anyone in the creative scene. -
-
Yeah, it doesn't make sense to say it was changed to avoid stigmatizing mental illness and then still make the guy have mental issues, except made up instead of based on a real event. It's not like wanting to kill random people and feeling like drawings are looking down on you is something healty people do.

I still think they - in general - don't, hence the butchered attempt at doing it. It sounds more like cover up the references to the KyoAni incident.

Exactly. Japan just dislikes being reminded of deaths in general. This is the country that mourns and will then often act like the incident never happened. People in the neighbourhood of the studio where the Kyoto Animation attack happened were against a memorial because it would "disturb" their daily lives. Saying that this is about mental health is just a mockery of the concept.

Another Fujimoto one-shot.
https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1013145This was my first time reading something by Fujimoto (my bestie couldn't believe this). Anyway, holy fucking shit, this had me crying the whole way through. I totally understood how Yuuta felt about Eri, I've been there, and the way the entire story was staged just made it so much more intimate. Those POV shots of Eri just watching movies and then looking back at Yuuta killed me. So, so, so, so true to life.
I really need to read Fujimoto's other work.
-
16 characthers of that was great
-
This was my first time reading something by Fujimoto
…
I really need to read Fujimoto's other work.
A lot of it is… different. It shares the sort of unencumbered, visceral goofy but kind of real sense, but if you go off to read Fire Punch or something it's going to be really... different.
-
Fujimoto's love of movies is the common thread in all his work. Both in the way it is presented and often as a theme in the story. When you see a ton of panels with no dialogue and just characters reacting to events silently; you know that it is a Fujimoto story.
-
my long ass post over at reddit that got upvoted and glided so uh, if anyone's into analysis and stuff:
! Interesting thing I've notice: when the MC mother asks him to film her, it was meant for the world to remember her. When Eri asks him to film her, it allowed for the next Eri to remember the MC.
! The misdirection here is that it might seem like the film captures the previous eri with the intention of leaving a memory to the new eri but as the panels with their shared friend shown: the real eri is actually different from the panels we've read. Not to a huge extent, of course, but she was also on "camera". On the other hand, the one filming, writing and framing the movie is the MC who's off camera. There's an imprint, and one that is so genuine and distinct to a creator, that can never escape being embed into their own work. Which is why the new Eri's words were that the film is used to remember him and not the old Eri.
! This runs in opposite with the mother and the general impression that the public have of biopic/documentaries: that we tend to believe it is an insight to the person on the screen but fail to realize that they too are on camera and is never themselves. Guess who is a lot more fixated, more so than the actors, and can be terribly obsessed during the process of a film? It's the person behind the camera: filming and directing the scene to the minute detail.
How and what we think of a movie character or a historical figure that we are watching in a documentary or biopic is steered by the one holding the camera, giving him the ability to control the narrative and our perception.
! That was also the whole point of the father's conversation, that the MC framed her mother as nicer than she really is: to the point of being seen as kind even by his father. Remember: the truth of her mother as a person was a terrible one and her son was a victim. But precisely because of the framing and the shots he used( and not use), the entire truth was lost and a completely different story emerged. The fake bombing getting a backlash would not have worked so well if the scenes with the mother did not paint her as a good person so damn well.
But the clutch here is also the explosion at the end: the MC could not commit to her mother's vision. Because then he is not a filmmaker but rather just someone who film as ordered by someone, working for the vision of someone else. He knows that this version of her mother depicted is false and he knows that putting it out there like that feels wrong. That's why the explosion exists, because he wanted to make it interesting in his own way but also has a deeper meaning: you'll get what this movie is REALLY about with this scene. And underlying all that is to have someone, just someone, who notice what he truly wanted to say. And that was Eri.
! I think fujimoto is trying to say and show (through the MC's idealised version of Eri) that the filmmaker and their depiction of the subject is several times more important, in fact it is the most important, aspect of a movie.
That was the legacy/memory he left behind that was truly his, which makes him want to live when he was on the brink of suicide. It didn't matter who Eri truly is moreso than it is important on how he depicted her. It's the same for any depiction: be it a retelling of a historical figure, a biopic on famous figures or any piece of film. The one who depicts, who edits, who films, is the one who shows you what they see rather than what it actually is.
! But because the MC "failed" to see Eri as who she "actually" is, he had this underlying gut feeling that something was wrong and that he was missing a piece of the puzzle. That's why he spent years and years obsessed with editing the film because unlike the case with his mother, he did not know the whole truth about eri and thus felt the film as incomplete. His depiction was incomplete. He didn't realize it until he met the new eri again and I think that's why the explosion happened. The film is now complete because he knows the whole truth. His original "fantasy" was lacking because it was not a fantasy, Eri is really a vampire. He was able to rectify that with the explosion because now he knows the truth and his explosion became the true and only fantasy. Same as how his film of his mother ended with an explosion: because he knew the truth about her mother and was then able to insert a fantasy.
! This cycle continues, someone else will watch this updated eri film and try to figure it out.. asking themselves "but why an explosion at the end?" Good films makes you think. Just like how Eri was able to get close to the truth of the relationship between the MC and his mother through his film. In a same way, the MC's film depicting Eri ask its audience the same. It makes them think and asks for their interpretation; the explosions don't just exist for the sake of it. In fact, the explosions turn the entire thing around (clue to the true nature and relationship with his mother, clue to the true nature of Eri: she really is a vampire).
! Anyway tldr: The power of film is to tell stories but only certain filmmakers can tell certain stories in their own certain ways. How they tell them will not be lost even if they pass, as long as their films were created and watched by people. -
He just wanted to be Michael Bay, huh?
-
I really like his "short" (200 pages, goddamit) takes, they feel like a short movie most of the time and I like how he tackle dense themes like suicide with due respect and always poking it in a fun way.
he's an ARTIST allright

While the forum was down Part 2 stared. we're now a manga abut shoes and bullying.
