The other day I was thinking about what my biggest pet peeves are when reading a review, and while there are a few, instead of listing them I figured I’d write about what I consider to be the biggest one.
And that pet peeve is when someone writes in a way that completely lacks diplomacy.
Alright, let’s finish this off with the real meat of Nadeko Medusa: the ultimate reveal behind what’s been going on, and the finale!
Here we are with the final part of Nadeko Medusa. And while it’s the end of Otorimonogatari, it’s only the beginning for what is to come with our current protagonist, Sengoku Nadeko.
Pretty straightforward question, I think.
Although many shows actually do a pretty good job at showing us backstory when it’s necessary, or one isn’t necessary at all (like many isekai anime).
Anyways, I managed to think of a few titles that could have interesting prequels.
Sengoku Nadeko’s adventures with a snake have ended up with her sleeping in Koyomi’s bed!
What’s next for Otorimonogatari’s middle-school protagonist?
Recently, I had a thought in regards to anime and it’s current commercial nature. As we know in the West, anime is something we consume typically either in the form of physical media (DVDs, Blu-Rays, etc.) or on the Internet. And I’d wager that the Internet is by far the largest channel through which we consume anime.
But in Japan, obviously that’s not quite the case. Anime is still heavily restricted and commercialized via major broadcast networks, and it’s main channel of distribution is TV.
The question is, how long will it remain this way?
Sengoku Nadeko has gotten herself involved with a snake, and we already know that this partnership won’t end well. Before we can move past that though, we still have to learn more about the journey itself.
When did it all go wrong?
Just like with Tsubasa Tiger, we’re jumping into an arc that is not from Koyomi Araragi’s perspective. The narrator and protagonist this time around, as can be gleaned from the arc’s name, is Sengoku Nadeko.
We’re in for an interesting arc here!
This is just a thought I had recently after doing some reading, so figured I’d articulate it here.
It’s about building up experience watching anime and how that affects our perception and judgement of the anime we watch.
While I first came to Tokyo, Japan on March 13th, 2020, I didn’t leave Tokyo until the end of the month. So this year, during the spring break, I was able to re-visit Tokyo, pretty much at the exact same time I was there last year.
I was able to meet with friends and do some fun things, so I figured I’d share some of the pictures I took here!
