I don't know if I should respond at all but I don't think you understand what I mean by storytelling convention. I literally mean how stories are told, retard, not what the contents of the stories might be.
I'm curious, I watched this show like 4 years ago, and it was okay. I don't remember the storytelling being that good; could you remind me of the highlights?
I still can't believe all the hunterchad shitposting came from that one granny post. Imagine btfo someone so hard that it ripples out and lobatamizes the entire fandom
Well, see the Chimera Ant arc for example. To say that it gets everything right would be a huge understatement. What this masterpiece about human history and the ways that people create their own destiny and mistakes makes for some truly compelling storytelling. Working in so many ways, as an allegorical story, as a monster story, as an epic, as a character study especially, and as a war drama, this Arc was near constantly engaging and thought provoking in so many ways. You could spend hours dissecting things like how it draws on real life parallels, most notably with the use of this universe's equivalent of North Korea to illustrate its point about humanity, the series' heavy use of symbolism with the parallels between characters, the minor tragedies characters each face inn what they don't achieve, the incredibly grey morality of the compelling antagonists which most impressively starts them off as extremely intimidating monsters to be stopped only to then bring us into their perspective and impossibly manage to make the audience feel sympathetic for them.
Is this bait
