ZENSHU Episode 9 Live Reaction (FULL)
Added 2025-03-02 20:47:39 +0000 UTCif they rewrite the story with Natsuko being the final void and destruction of this world OOOOH BOY
BUT THINK ABOUT IT! the world ends with her taking over Luke's role, the old author gets what she wants but when she goes back home she refuses to respect that author's vision anymore and writes things in a positive way unlike how her idol would. bittersweet ending

This episode baited me so hard, I thought they were gonna do a full recap episode but from Luke's PoV, though a lot of it was a recap this is the best way to do it, exploring his character's inner monologue up to this point. This show was starting to fall off for me a couple episodes ago, but its coming around to something amazing.

2025-03-04 08:23:35 +0000 UTCThanks for the heads up, anime only here. If that's the way it goes, then yes, that'll likely happen. I'll be very unhappy to drop something part way into a 4th season.

2025-03-02 23:52:12 +0000 UTCI cringe every time I hear you say I love dark stuff. Following the logic above, that generalization bothers me. Good things are good, because the sum of their components is good. Can a good show be dark? Absolutely, no contest. Is it good because it's dark? No, never. It's a contributing factor that resonates positively or negatively with the individual audience. But no matter how well "dark" resonates with you, it's not alone the thing that makes that good show good.

2025-03-02 23:49:52 +0000 UTCNah I think that the reason why the voids are copying Natsuko's work is because Natsuko is the ultimate void I mean if Natsuko is the ultimate void then it makes sense that the other voids will have powers similar to Natsuko's powers

2025-03-02 23:46:19 +0000 UTCWhat a rug pull of an episode. I have a personal vendetta against the idea that characters must die for the story to have meaning. That generalization is pretentious to the extreme and demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of why tragedy works in the first place. I see so many hipsters singing the praises of this, that, and the other horror movie/slasher flick, and I hate to break it to them, but they're just into gore and snuff. Let's take a classic example like Romeo and Juliet. It works because the characters are relatable, and the audience gets invested in their lives. The plot is such that "there's no way out" and convinces the audience to sympathize. But that's only the first half of the magic. The other half is that their deaths were meaningful in some way. Whether it's to teach the audience a lesson or the characters in their world are better off for it, that gain, fractional that it may be, is the payoff. So Zenshu, the show, is at a crossroads with me. The bad director represents everything I loathe about pretentious movie snobs who don't actually know what they're talking about. If the ending goes full Wolf's Rain, I'm out. I realize they hooked me for an entire season, but that'll be another tally for pretentious anime directors. This is the same reason I struggled with the first season of To Your Eternity; every episode was more death, seemingly for no reason, with no payoff in sight. I would almost drop it several times if not for a friend who begged me to keep watching. At a minimum, Natsuko has to survive for this to earn a passing grade. For a better grade, the character deaths need to be relevant and gain something _individually_ for Natsuko. So far, 5 of the nine, not including QJ, have already died/disabled, though it's offscreen for Natsuko. The next problem is that it's not necessary to kill someone to experience loss. Near-loss is usually just as effective. There is -- failing Zenshu, introducing some very good reasoning -- no reason to kill off any more characters, and I argue there was no reason to kill off QJ in the first place. So, in other words, the more characters survive, the higher the passing score I'll give it. I hate when a series does this; they suck you in for the entire runtime and then, in the end, do a sucker punch and not the good kind. I had high hopes for this show, but now I'm completely neutral. And it all hinges on how they end this. But I will give them props for sucking me in with the Meta-premise of the IRL anime industry and video culture in general. I hope it doesn't end like IRL.

2025-03-02 23:28:19 +0000 UTCI kinda think this bird is messing with the story, copying Natsuko's stuff ... I don't think Voids and Bird were in the same scene even once.

2025-03-02 23:18:51 +0000 UTCHay here is a thought what if the reason why the Voids are copying Natsuko's Drawings is because Natsuko is the ultimate void I mean that would make sense

2025-03-02 23:05:03 +0000 UTCWhat if Natsuko become the Ultimate void
