Finished reading this and I gotta askWhen does it stop hurting?
when you understand it
>>288099140Just let it go already man
>>288099271Youre right....>>288099995I feel so light...
There's never been an author who hated their own character so much in the history of writing.
>>288100118There's nothing hateful about writing your fictional child to become a bodhisattva.
>>288099140At some point during the 10.000 year dial-up update. Phos learned to let go of his anger and sadness and found new joy in the form of rock bros. You should do the same.
what would have happened if Phos said no
>>288099140The end shouldn't have hurt that much. The stuff leading up to the ten thousand year wait hurt more.
>>288099140In about 10 000 yearsMaybe more
>>288100260>hisfreak
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE PHOS!
>>288100315If I had to describe the lead up I would call it frustrationThe resolution and Phos' unmaking is what hurt me the most.
>>288100518Phos is my spirit mineral
I finished this a few weeks ago and it still has me fucked up
>>288099140when you start a rock collection of your own
>>288099140At some point I wished that Phos just condemned them to eternal damnation. None of the shit characters deserved their heaven. They condemned Phos to an eternal hell so that they can have their peace.
>>288101424>None of the shit characters deserved their heaven.You missed the entire point of Buddhism.
>>288101377I desire Phos
When you accept it
>>288101550I LOVE PHOS (forma de anything)
I'm convinced this series put me on a different plane of reality. I've felt more at peace and content ever since it ended. I've even accepted that we'll never get another season of the anime.
>>288100319Yes
>>288101860It just (relatively) ended recently, I am hedging my bets on an anniversary announcement
nothing ever happens the manga
>>288100518I hate phos
>>288101469Just because the author likes buddhism doesn't mean that people have to like buddhism.
>>288101469Buddhism is a stupid fairy tale.
>>288101860where colored
>>288102875>>288102971Enjoy your meaningless suffering.
recently read Tezuka's Buddha and he's a far superior storyteller (I don't really like his narrative vehicles but they're effective nonetheless).HhK was very ambitious and Ichikawa wasn't up to the task.there, have a n*gger for the inconvenience
I just watched the anime recently. it was disappointing there wasn't more of the fish girl. she and her evil sister were the hottest.
>>288103326You were made to suffer, and that's beautiful.
>>288103243Enjoy your made up nonsense.
>>288103358>evil >sister
Three years ago I read it all on my porch during a super storm over 3 days, need a reread I know the middle portion I didn't give enough attention to. I love the expresssions/faces the art does so much with so little at times
>>288103398NO UBut unironically
