Long story short, I’m a sucker for shows with heavy mystery, foreshadowing, and a complex plot. Shows that reveal a mind-bending, continuously unfolding mystery in the beginning, only to be solved in the end by some insane plot twist(s). Attack on Titan, Steins;Gate, and Madoka Magica make up my top 3 solely for this reason.
What are some other anime that are similar?
I just finished the 2011 anime not too long ago (yes ik i’m late lol) and i loved every second of it. However, I can’t help but think Gon’s realization that Kite was beyond revival would have hit harder if the audience didn’t know he was dead. Don’t get me wrong, it still hit extremely hard seeing Gon break down like that. I just found his rage moment somewhat predictable after we see Kite’s head laying in Pitou’s lap; Gon was bound to find out at some point.
I think it would have been cool if after Kite and Pitou’s fight, it ended on a cliff hanger after Killua runs away with Gon. The audience would be questioning the outcome of the fight. After painstakingly waiting for the reveal, we would see the NGL group return with Kite’s disfigured body and robotic-like movements, him being reduced to nothing but a tool for the ants. We would still have the emotional impact of that scene, as well as the belief that Kite could still be fixed in some way. Then, when Gon forces Pitou to help fix Kite towards the end of the arc, Pitou would have revealed that Kite was dead the entire time. In this scenario, we would have only known what Gon knew, and I think that would have hit harder.
(Please don’t take this the wrong way, Chimera Ant was my favorite arc, and i’m sure Togashi had his reasons for writing it this way!)
How can I know if any classes I am supposed to take in the future will satisfy certain SBCs. Do I have to worry about taking separate classes to satisfy these, or will classes I am projected to take satisfy them anyway?
