Commencing the Mushishi Zoku Shou Project

Mushishi has been one of favorite anime series since my early days of getting into Japanese animation. I'm excited to see the upcoming second season (sequel) of the show and will begin a project dedicated to it.

I'm unsure what kind of articles I will be writing, but given the nature of the first season, they will most likely be articles written with the aim of analyzing the fantasy elements in ways that would make connecting the themes of the story to the real world much easier.

I've had more time to watch anime recently, so I will most likely not drop or put this project on hold like I had with the Psycho-Pass project.

The series will begin airing from 04/05/14, so expect my articles then!

Critically Analyzing Kill La Kill: Trigger Lost Its Way - A Poorly Written Story (V.2)

Introduction

By the end of the final episode of Kill la Kill (directed by Imaishi Hiroyuki / written by Nakashima Kazuki) on 03/27/14, Trigger had lost its way. The series had a fantastic start and promised a great ending, but the promises revealed themselves to be empty by the time the second half of the season came around, notably with the introduction of Nui in the middle point of the series. Nui was NOT the sole cause of the series' downfall; She simply serves (in this article) as a marker indicating the plot's demise. This article will explain how and why Trigger had lost its way some time during the process of writing the Kill la Kill story, which mainly stems from the rushed nature of the plot's structure.
