Escapism is a common goal when the world is burning.
yeah look at baliwood.
Japanese media Denfaminicogamer recently brought together scenario writer Gen Urobuchi and voice actress Koiwai Kotori, who happens to be an avid fan of Urobuchi’s cult classic visual novel Saya no Uta, for a joint interview.
Didn’t know that about Kokko-chan lol. I’ve seen pictures of her from that interview recently but I didn’t recognise the game character.
They’re probably craving an ‘antidote’ within fiction precisely because the real world is so cruel,” Urobuchi explains. “And that kind of ‘comfort’ should be made by younger generations.
Very interesting to say especially with Kokko-chan in the room. I’m not a visual novel player but I really like Iyashikei anime which is one of the comforts in a cruel world he is talking about. The series Non Non Biyori where Kokko-chan plays one of the main characters (Ren-chon) is very much a strong example of these comforting experiences.
I will have to watch all of Non Non Biyori (and ARIA) again once I clear out the backlog. I need them now much more than when I first seen them.
Watched it on crappy player last time, randomly stutter and breaks subtitle. I was too dumb to setup MPV properly back then.
These types of shows are very rewatchable, at least for me. And great taste, adding in ARIA as well :)
