As I was watching Mahou Shoujo site which is undeniably the edgiest show of 2018, i came to a deep state of melancholy subsequently asking myself the question “What if the show isn’t made to be taken seriously?” and I think that it’s somewhat right, at the start of episode 1 we’re introduced to Aya Asagiri (whom I think isn’t a character at all, she’s more like a robot.) whom was bullied, domestically abused, physically harmed, psychologically stressed and was nearly raped by her senior, she basically walks this land just to suffer and nothing else. People who have depression and anxiety mostly have very deep reasons because of it but in Aya’s case she’s depressed and in an everyday case of sodomy happens simply because the script demands it, she has basically nothing to live for, no dreams, no ambitions literally ZERO and on the later events of episode 1 we see that she’s 2 steps away from ending it all, she took 1 step but suddenly backs off and starts crying because she realized that killing herself isn’t in the script.
At this moment onward I realized that what I’m watching is made to be bad, it’s not like Oregairu that became accidentally bad (in my opinion of course.), this show is unlike that, it’s supposed to be bad. Right at the moment when she decides to not kill herself the people who passed by her ignored everything simply because it’s too early for the shit, this provides sufficient evidence to my point. The plot is so blatantly bad that maybe the writer wrote it with a smile on his face. Watching this so-called “Shit show” by the community made me ask myself the question “Does bad anime exist?”.
We grew up in this society with a clear knowledge of what’s good or bad, our parents thought us about it, so as our teachers as well as our peers thus we develop our standards of judgments and so do others, they state their opinion on something based on their likes and dislikes and eventually affects the decision of other people who read or hear about their opinion. This is why sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB exist because it’s entire construct relies solely on the purpose of knowing and sharing each other’s opinions on movies, T.V shows and many more. they get rating and feedback because everyone has their judgment of what’s good or bad. Mahou Shoujo site made me realize that YES bad anime do exist and that there is no such thing as perfection nothing is. When I asked my friend on his opinion about “Spirited Away” he said that he doesn’t like it because the stand view of the plot is so surreal and truth be told I’m disheartened by it but I can’t really blame him for that, you see it’s not our fault if we like something that others don’t and we shouldn’t be ashamed of it because that’s why you enjoyed a certain show in the first place because it left an impression on your life and changed the way you live your life, this is the reason why humans are radical creatures, it’s what separates us from ordinary monkeys.
People who call other people names for not having “Good tastes” in any medium are the modern examples of cunts, people who doesn’t understand difference. It’s simply isn’t right to judge someone based on what they like, you can’t mock them for being who they are because that’s called being an idiot. So don’t give a damn on what others say about you because if you don’t then you’ll never know the feeling of true satisfaction the main goal of the entertainment industry.
