Reader’s Question:
I’ve been thinking about the bundling of Zegakusu with the variety show. I see it as something that might be a clever move by Anno, and I’m generally positive about it. However, I’ve noticed a lot of negativity directed at it, especially from those who seem to have a
strong dislike for NTV. It’s disappointing to see such vocal criticism, especially when it feels like a knee-jerk reaction. What are your thoughts on this? I believe that since it’s not a paid exclusive distribution, it seems a bit excessive to make such a fuss over it. I hope that those who are currently critical will eventually come to appreciate the cleverness behind it.
My Thoughts on the Zegakusu and Variety Show Bundling
So, I’ve been mulling over this whole Zegakusu bundling with the variety show thing, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag for me. I mean, on one hand, I really appreciate the creativity behind it. It feels like Anno is trying to shake things up a bit, and I love that kind of bold thinking in the entertainment world. But then, there’s all this backlash, particularly from those who seem to have a vendetta against NTV. It’s like watching a comedy routine go wrong; instead of laughter, you’re left with this awkward tension in the air. I remember the first time I tried to explain my love for a quirky comedy series to a friend who just didn’t get it. They were stuck on the idea that it was too different from what they usually watch, and I found myself defending something that I thought was brilliant. It’s kind of the same vibe here—people are so quick to judge without really giving it a chance. Sure, it’s a head-scratcher to bundle a show about “one-parent childcare” with a sci-fi anime like Zegakusu, but maybe there’s a method to the madness that we just can’t see yet. Reading the comment from the user mentioning Tsurumaki as the director and questioning Anno’s role made me chuckle. It’s like trying to put together a puzzle where half the pieces don’t fit. There’s this feeling of “What are they thinking?” that resonates with a lot of viewers. I can’t help but think about how many times I’ve had that same reaction to a movie or show—sitting there with a bewildered expression, wondering how the creators came up with such a wild idea. And honestly, the thought of people missing out on the chance to reserve Zegakusu because they don’t know about the bundling is a little sad. It reminds me of those times I’ve arrived at a concert way too early just to snag a good spot, only to realize the band isn’t even starting for another hour. I end up snacking on overpriced popcorn and chatting with fellow fans, which can be fun, but it’s not what I planned. It’s interesting how art and entertainment can stir up such passionate discussions. I really hope that as time goes on, those who are critical will come to appreciate the cleverness behind this decision. It might just be a unique opportunity for viewers to experience something unexpected—like finding a hidden gem in a comedy routine that you didn’t see coming. What about you? Have you ever had a similar experience where you’ve changed your mind about something after giving it a chance? Or maybe you’ve faced criticism for something you loved?
