Dostoevsky improves tenfold if you imagine his characters in anime format. Pyotr Verkhovensky radiates pure Nagito Komaeda/Kokichi Ouma vibes
>>24836528How much anime does it take to actually envision characters like they are cartoons and not real people? I tried it once but I can't do it
>>24836534just a paltry 400 hours. i had it happen to me unintentionally once back in my early 20s, and i knew then it was time to put away my childish things.
as a sufferer of misophonia, every restaurant experience happens just like this.i'll never be a normal human being.
>>24836553Seethe.
>>24836528I know this thread is going to get buried, but I do the same.I imagined Dunya and Sonya as cute anime girls, imagined Ivan as Vergil from DMC, I imagine seething characters with a cool shadow in their eyes, and so on and so forth. It improves the experience so much, I wish I could share this brainrot to other people
>>24836534I imagine them as run of the mill anime characters if i don't have enough cues as to their appearance or if it is trite
>>24837646Sounds fun.Maybe I'll try it some time.
Tangentially related but any time I'd read henry james for a little too long, I would involuntarily see all the characters as chimps and orangutans wearing human clothing and being extremely polite to one another.
>>24836528My favourite authors are Cormac McCarthy and Herman Melville and Fyodor Dostoevsky. I also hate Sylvia Plath and Han Kang. Am I peak dick lit?
>>24838611>his favorites aren't Wallace, Pynchon, and Joyceyou're not even out of your diapers yet, anon.
>>24838617Meme trilogy? You're crazy, anon, crazy at last.
>>24838625Crazy?I was crazy onceThey locked me up in a roomA rubber roomA rubber room with ratsAnd rats make me crazyCrazy?I was crazy onceThey locked me up in a roomA rubber roomA rubber room with ratsAnd rats make me crazyCrazy?
>>24838625Last night I poked the Queen of Transylvan-ia,Tonight I'll poke the Queen of Burgundee—I'm bordering on the State of Schizophren-ia,But Queenie is so very nice to me...It's pink champagne and caviar for break-fast,A spot of Chateaubriand wiv me tea—Ten-shilling panatelas now are all that I can smoke,I laugh so much you'd think the world was just a silly joke,So call me what you will, m' lads, but make way for the blokeThat's poked the love-ly lit-tle Queen of Transyl-vaayn-yaa!
>>24836528Of fucking great now I need Anime to understand Dostoevsky?
>>24838651Yep. Sorry, that's just the way it works. Now get watchin'
>>24836528It’s because Dostoevsky and anime both use exaggerated emotions to the point of melodrama. It’s why autists love both; they otherwise cannot understand more subtle emotions.
You post Western art though
It's more appropriate to compare it to VNs since the most well known VN writers like Nasu and Ryuukishi(who ripped Dosto off in fact) at least make an attempt at writing interesting and complex characters
>>24839573>Ryuukishi(who ripped Dosto off in fact)QRD?
>>24839583Umineko's "antagonist" has a suspiciously similar backstory/character lore to TBK's one. Explaining it spoils both series.
>>24836528Pyotr Stepanovich is supposed to be an ugly little rat bastard with a pointed tongue like a vile reptile, not some kind of gay ikemen.
>>24839750they will ALL be gay ikemens once I'm done with them
>>24839750To be fair 2014 TV series made him kinda cute so that's the visuals artists are going with>ugly littleHe was described as average looking but repulsive and slightly above average height (it's Shatov who's a manlet)
>>24836528>>24836534I only imagine what I read as anime characters if I’m reading Japanese literature
