Nay. First, I won't kill people and second, even if I'm going to kill someone, it will be for a very good reason and with a lot of regrets.

This, combined with your "I'm still human" comment above, can easily make someone think that you are a half-vampire who keeps the prey alive no matter what, albeit barely
But yeah, no fireworks in this murder case. Hence I called it rather "Russian". It's plain and simple.

Well, I think it's rather obvious that having all kinds of moods comes with being human.

Hmmm true, I guess both good and bad moods make you human. Though your humanity can be questioned sometimes

Re: Someone opened the gates of hell and forgot to close it.

I'm not into reading Russian literatures. I've only read Anton Chekov's plays, and only because of my drama class. Even recognizing the names of Russian authors is somewhat of a feat in here, since Indonesian people are mostly ignorant of literature.

I also had to read Discipline and Punish, because I use the Panopticon theory for my thesis.
The other book I read by him is Power/Knowledge. Actually that's the book that started my interest in his theories.

Didn't know there was something special about Russian authors that would make them so much diffrent. Well maybe the length of their books, but anyway. I guess Russia being somewhat nearer helps in knowing the big names like Tolstoy or Solzhenitzyn. Most of those are only known to people because of their works touching common history though, I think, so in the end, it's good at least you know some of them =)

Ah, the Panopticon... too bad the few prisons built like that were closed. How does that fit in with english literature (wasn't it?) though?

Being human and humanity are two different things.

Well, for the people here, Russia is like alien world or something. We sure know UK or US, but Russia..? We know it only from history.
I know those names just because I pay attention to literature and the name of the famous authors.

Surprise, surprise... My thesis is about Psycho Pass not english literature.
The prisons might be closed, but who knows if the Panopticon actually still exists so close to us...?

Psycho Pass? should watch that show to see how it goes together with Foucault...

The Panopticon as a concept transisting its physical form? Why, yes, with all the cameras and surveillance around. We still didn't quite reach an orwellian level with it though. Speaking of which, was the american/british surveillance scandal of any importance to you? Or rather, brought up at all in the media?

Re: Someone opened the gates of hell and forgot to close it.

Life. Life happens to me in reality.

If you're familiar in that area, then you'll have no problem to connect ドーS and ドーM with BDSM.

And what happens in your life? School, uni, work, apocalypses?

Ah, what about the D? Don't you want the D?

OMG, I just read this post.

not half-vampire, 100% human, though your comment about keeping the prey alive is right on the mark...

I like some mysteries around the murder case, thank you very much.

You haven't watched it?

No, thankfully not to the orwellian level.
Not really. I mean I read some things about it but I'm not really interested in it. I think it's because it doesn't concern me directly. And no, not brought up in media (except internet of course, but you can only find it if you actually look for it). Media over here mostly just sucks. Either they talk about corruption or gossips. But hey, probably that's because those things are the only big things happening in here...

Nope. Forget about the B and D.

Vampirism can be linked to that keeping alive status as a good analogy. But true, you don't "feed" on the prey to take it a step further.

I guessed so. I didn't think you'd love a dull pace of character development over a puzzle solving series of action.

IMO, humans can be more terrifying than vampires anyway... At least vampire preys on humans because they need to drink human's blood to stay alive, but human preying on another human..?

Yep. I always love a good mystery. I can forgive the plot not being puzzling as long as the characters are the ones who are puzzling instead.

Hmm. Same goes for humans, no? If you don't feed your ego, it will haunt back to devour your own self instead.

Isn't that a bit vague, though? Every character has a mysterious side to himself, in various degrees, of course.

No ma'am. Is it that good?

As for media, never heard anything else, no matter where In the end, we're responsible for getting informed ourselves.

Stay away from Psycho Pass if you really like cool characters. If you think story > characters, watch it.

No, it's not boring. I get to learn a lot of other things aside from literature and linguistic. Psychology, philosophy, culture, theater and film, media, creative writing, etc. It's a lot of fun, but I guess it still depends on whether you like that kind of stuffs or not.

I lived in a kingdom called Ylisse.

It's not exactly a justifying reason though.

Nah, I mean puzzling as being really unusual. The characters who look shallow but actually hide an abyss inside them.

Out of five, I'll probably give four, but mostly because that series is really thought-provoking.

Indeed. But we can't expect to inform ourselves of things we are ignorant of.

But hey, I think the characters are good enough. Akane is probably best out of the lot, though I admire Makishima because he's well-read.

Ah, I see now. Someone with a deeper background than what he shows on surface.

The characters are really good, except for one small fact that

My two favourite characters die, Makishima and Ginoza's father.

Well, that sounds more interesting than just "English". Why did you choose this direction?

Yep. That kind of guy. :3

That's a letdown, indeed. I honestly can't imagine Psycho-Pass season 2 without Makishima.
