If you remove the whole cat girl things, their apartment building is not too extreme compared to the average Internet to Speech streamers. Kino episode anyways.
Mostly neither. The gem people are genderless and it doesn’t come up much because they don’t reproduce like organic people. The anime ends on an unsastisfying point in the story, and there’s a general air of despair to the main story, which basically ends with oblivion.
I've read the manga a while ago so I would say it has a unique art style and word building but is mired by a convoluted storyline with bad characterization. Might get more out of it if you are quite familiar with Buddhism.
Yeah that's mandatory, at least the neo zen type shit that shows up in anime (which you can accomplish by having seen enough anime).
buddhism is a defeatist bugman religion
I feel like you’re missing the end of the sentence or there’s a word or two missing somewhere
I only have a surface level understand of Buddhism if at all but with Land of the Lustrous I think you need to have a bit more knowledgeable to appreciate/understand the material. Which doesn't really change some other criticism I have.
It definitely is used everywhere, but I think this is due to the fact that it is ingrained into Japanese society much like Shinto.
Buddhism is how life is a gacha and if you didn't get to be SSR chad prince/sect leader then you should try to obey your betters as much as possible so you get a better reroll chance next time.
lazy phoneposting
Shinto in of itself is less a religion and more folklore. Even then, I'm not sure that's the proper way to describe it. Would be like if the western world kept belief in the old pantheons to the modern day. But even that's not accurate because even back then there were specialized cults in Europe. I'd maybe even say it's superstition, but that's not it either. Spirituality as closest as it could be mixed with local culture is probably best.
It's like the complete antithesis to their free-form religious thinking, if you can even call it that. There aren't many gods, a cycle of reincarnation, nature spirits, or any other celestial beings besides the one in Heaven with God reigning over everything.
The Dark Horse volume one is also uncensored.
I'm eating bees.
You're talking about Hinduism. Buddha thought that the Indian caste system was bullshit and that Brahmins were full of shit for claiming they were inherently superior to everyone. He also would have been against things like crushing yourself under a statue as delusional and a source of negative karma for both harming yourself and for the terrible state of mind you'd be in at death, which is a major factor in what you reincarnate as next.
I just saw the poster for it a few hours ago & damn.
Close enough, welcome back Gundam AGE.
I assume they had the rights before Kodansha somewhere in the late 90s/early 2000s ? My single volume first print by Kodansha from 2009 is also censored.
I'll have to pull mine out to check.
understandable when buddha is the only one who achieved enlightenment, thus raising the question as to how anyone else can after untold millennia
Mormons and Amish and the masons all exist, all religions get crazy cults. And there are the haredi too or whatever the amishjews are called.
