The only thing sad about Grave is a tragic mistake. Very tragic. HUGE mistake! How could that SOB let it get so far, he could have just accepted his aunt's help! It's not that I have no... pity for these things but... pity is for losers I have no pity for these things. I wouldn't joke about it either though... it just feels wrong giving credence of any kind to a mistake.PStibbons wrote:I think my manga cartoonist friends will disown me if I arrange a Grave of the Fireflies Komedy Night.

I wasn't trying to be all that funny though O.oPStibbons wrote:It would have been more annoying if it had been just a little less funny and just a little more repetitive. As with Castor Troy's case, I'm not sure this is ambiguity as much as it is the author underestimating their video.JaddziaDax wrote:but I went into the video with the original intention to make something that was really super annoying.
I don't think its necessarily "ambiguity" either, but I don't think I underestimated it either, I just think some where along the lines I was having too much fun with it, and that translated through the video so it ended up being something completely different from what I was originally intending is all.

As for comments on jihaku, I can see where both sides of the story lies.
At first I saw it as an uplifting thing, (like the editor was twisting the meaning of the phrase "best of you" to be something more positive than the connotation implies). But then the more I watched it I realized it's not really all that "ambiguous" at all, its a statement on "the human condition" both highs and lows - and people who see it as positive or negative it all comes down to personal views, experiences and what they want to see in it. Because the video holds true to both uplifting and depressing drama - but it's what you focus on as a viewer as to what you will see with the end result. However if you look at it for what it is, then you will see neither overly positive or overly negative in the mood.

Why is it that people can't seem to accept anything but uber depressing vids with GOTF, every single time ive seen someone do something else it gets an almost violent reaction.dokidoki wrote: was a joke when I was being serious...
