[WITCH WATCH] Why is such a manga popular, huh?!

Uron Mirage – A school battle fantasy manga depicting foolish swordsmen chasing after heat haze. How is that? New, for better or worse. Not bad, but not good either. More incompetent and unclear. Vague settings and meaningless dialogue. The “fate” is the target, and the sense of absence in the entire school is satisfying, with a vague waist progressing to ambiguity. The intent has become to think it through. Furthermore, the author has made it clearer with tolerance than with the school, accompanying many complaints. It has now become a stronger work.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder about that.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Surely no one will understand.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx23

It can be said that way too.

It could also be said that it’s not the case.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

The answer is in the thicket.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s about how it looks.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is important is not in a visible place.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

This work can be described as both fiction and non-fiction.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s go roughly.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

It is ultimately conceptualized like Evangelion.

One could say it’s not something to assert so strongly.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

You’ll understand it eventually…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a mystery that it has a regular fan instead of just being a gimmick.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not that it’s happening because of failure, but rather it’s intentional.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Half of it is right.

My ears hurt.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

I think that no matter how good the characters are in Sam 8, it becomes tiresome.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

The time will come when you will understand too.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t understand the gist of it.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

If the discussions progress well, the setting might actually seem interesting…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Coming up with answers is wonderful, but not coming up with answers is also wonderful. Don’t you think so?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

But it has sold 45 million copies.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Lower-tier characters can achieve overwhelming victories over higher-tier characters without any power-ups or training due to vague win conditions.

There might be a lively debate thread about strength.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

From what I can see in “Uro Mira,” the development has a classic style and properly incorporates elements that excite, so I think it’s meant for people who want to enjoy it without having to think too much.

It’s just that some strange otaku are overanalyzing things and starting discussions…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

A world line where there is no Eva and thus no resistance to that kind of thing.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the otaku girls’ meeting, a hardcore Zack Barran fan posted intense analysis tweets, and in the next episode, Zack betrayed everyone, which was disappointing.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The battle scene ends abruptly, so it’s unclear whether they won or lost.

Until the next appearance, life or death is unknown.

I can’t predict what will happen next, and it’s exciting!

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

As it remains ambiguous forever, there is some merit in filling it with my own wild imagination… but it’s not limitless.

There may be betrayals and the revelation that there is actually a brother.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have a vague memory of hearing information that they will probably do it in anime as well.

It feels like the prediction that most viewers, eight or nine out of ten, will become popular specifically among anime fans isn’t entirely off the mark, right?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t think there’s any reason not to do it in the anime since Uro Mira is extremely linked to the main story.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Putting myself out there with this method is one thing, but don’t recommend the same thing to newcomers.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

But in weekly serialized shonen manga, it’s quite common to fill the gaps with profound and suggestive dialogue to stretch things out, right?

Even the old man from Zangetsu says things that don’t make sense.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t Mr. Ozaku’s pants look somewhat sensitive?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Perhaps the quality of the animation is solid enough that you can enjoy it without thinking too much.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

If anything, there’s something that comes to mind in the current jump.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, if the battle is good, there’s a decent sense of satisfaction.

There’s only the element of a sword, which is amusing.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was rare for the protagonist in this kind of manga to be ranked higher in popularity polls than the cool rival.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you follow the human drama part of Eva, it’s pretty interesting except for the last three episodes, so is that how Uron Mirage is as well?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if they’re preparing a dedicated OP or something.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

Roughly Sam 8

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Is it Sam 8?

I thought it was BLEACH.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

If there are too many lines that obscure the truth, the pace of the story tends to slow down…

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

What happened to Zack, seriously?

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It was surprisingly the type of character that makes comments in the story.

It seems like it’s going to proceed without it basically.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Your Zanpakuto is a rare constant release type.

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I want to see more original idiomatic expressions that come up from time to time.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Surely, this is what Eva is like…

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I have the impression that many smartphone games from the continent have serious stories like this.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the latter part of Magi, Uncle Sinbad’s character was like this.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

The melody of “Tuxedo Mirage” flowed into my mind.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the story, when I’m chatting about something vague like “Isn’t it this way?”, there are people who come at me saying, “Do you have definitive proof?! You’re treating your own baseless fantasies as facts! You’re bothering the author!”

It’s reassuring that such things are confined to the style.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sam8 has ended up this way unintentionally, but we are going in with the intention of keeping it ambiguous from the start, so the root is probably different.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can we stop saying things that imply something else?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

Restraints!

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hasn’t Tough been like this for a long time?

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

Uro Mira also has some notable moments in battles.

It’s just that there are too many suggestive hints, making it hard to predict where the story is going.

79: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Uro Mira is extreme, but if you leave some ambiguity, it’s easier to make adjustments later, and in weekly serialization, it’s quite a normal strategy.

It’s like a suggestive prophecy.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

In a state of ambiguity and vagueness.

Huh!? So, what about the words from that time!? I think it would feel really good if you get hooked on it.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

The deity of war, which is treated as a symbol of Sam 8, simply guides you with lines that can be summarized as “You should already understand the answer yourself.”

It’s just a manifestation of the dialogue delivery being Sam8.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of games, this is FromSoftware-related.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

The settings for Puyo Puyo Fever were roughly like this.

Even though I definitely think this is how it is, there’s definitely a sense of not fully confirming it.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Residents of a world where Eva and Bleach were popular surely cannot have anything to say about Uro-mira.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Terrios really that…

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are certainly many moments where Sam 8 explains things poorly and fails to get to the point, even though he is trying to explain.

There are also many evasive lines that could be said as “it could be said that way, but it could also be said otherwise.”

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

You are my…!

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s a mobile game from the mainland, it’s probably Arknights that feels the closest.

Almost all the characters are talking only with the information, knowledge, and emotions they have inside them, without providing objective explanations, so the story progresses in a very dubious manner.

But the character design is good, so it’s like, well, that’s fine…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Uromira is saying that the author has properly thought out the setting but is keeping it ambiguous!

It’s basically a past arc.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like there are clues, but it’s actually just random.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the dialogue is vague, using standard phrases might prevent too many trolls from sticking around.

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It has an Inuyasha vibe.

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

There seems to be a lot of quotes that are being joked about in the Uro Mira anti-thread.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mihoyo isn’t that bad, but there are too many proper nouns, making it hard to grasp the main point.

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

A weekly series is like catching clouds.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s how it looks.

My insight is still lacking.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

The old Eva caused confusion because the director, who was criticized by otaku, suddenly went crazy and started turning the anime into a diary.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, doesn’t it feel like these guys are talking as if they understand, but they actually don’t understand anything?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have no idea why things have turned out this way, and I have no clue what will happen next, but for now, it’s interesting, so it’s all good! Nice to meet you! This is a common theme in serialized manga.

105: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

From watching a full episode where Uromira was featured, it seems that Uromira also follows the dynamics of a proper shonen manga.

All of their words and actions are just like Gendo Ikari’s.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Manga version of Scryed

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

When I see the ones that feature one episode, it felt like a word game of how many ambiguous lines they can cram in.

Also, Zack.

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Is it something like BLEACH…?

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s too funny that there are people who lost battles because of Uro Mira in Witch Watch.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

Self-consciously done Medaka Box.

That’s a bit unreasonable, isn’t it?

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think that Jaguar fans in this world feel provoked to say “it’s below the level of Uromira” every time a work they like gets canceled.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Does it feel like the beginning of the Tales series goes on forever?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was really surprised when Uro Mira got heavily involved in the main story.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like the threads for playing with templates and seriously discussing are completely divided.

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think BLEACH has a proper story, even though it has a light flavor.

It’s not a work where the lack of explanation is, on the contrary, effective.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s about how it looks.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

The person in the Piggaga lion mask wasn’t a robot at the beginning, right…? What happened?

123: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It can’t be said that Eva’s analysis, which seemed like it wasn’t thinking about anything, was impossible since it was actually popular at the time…

124: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Even if you don’t understand the rules of the game, Hikaru no Go and Usogui are interesting, and that’s part of the presentation.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hoyoverse games still lead to insights that make you go, “Wait, could it be…?” which excites the theorists.

126: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The author is neither easygoing nor relaxed, and neither is Bleach.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

The interpretation of the main story is too vague, making the opponents essentially ineffective, which is overly strong.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

What’s amazing is that even the colleagues of Sensei Makuba, who doesn’t seem to be that fond of manga, are properly saying that they like it.

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Well, I don’t really understand the content, but it seems like it could be liked by people who just like the usual stuff.

What about that layer…? If this line hits you like that, it seems like it would resonate quite heavily.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s impressive that there isn’t a work that obviously fits perfectly with the original source material, as expected from a veteran.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Like the original Gundam?

135: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I was a bit disappointed that they did something like a meta-commentary in the main story of Uro Mira, asking, “Why don’t they say it clearly every time?!”

I wanted you to do it naturally.

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

BLEACH is somewhat bland… I wonder what it is.

It really feels like I’m drinking a diluted Calpis that should have a rich flavor, but is almost like water.

Reading it all at once in a paperback doesn’t make me feel sluggish.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think it’s probably the type of popularity that is being adapted into a stage production now.

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the end, what the heck!! The one with a high degree was Saikano.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

Evangelion uses existing terms from mythology and the Bible somewhat arbitrarily, which creates some dubious aspects, but the drama and battles surrounding Shinji-kun go through specific issues and resolutions, except for the very end and the movie version.

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Chanichi: “Explain it! Everything, I mean everything!”

142: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Since I’m spacing out, it might be easier to couple up…

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

Arknights has too many organizations and individuals with clearly different intentions, so I can’t remember their names when they come up, or it causes confusion because the way they are translated changes depending on the scene.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yu-Gi-Oh! is amazing for analysis because you can interpret it just from the illustrations and effect text.

In official announcements, things like “How could I know that, you idiot!” frequently happen.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember laughing a lot at the thought that if Osamu Tezuka were to write it, it would probably end in three volumes, around the time when the Soul Society arc of Bleach ended, which was quite a while ago.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

The long abstract dialogue parts in Blue Archive evoke a nostalgia reminiscent of when I visited my alma mater.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

The more I hear, the more it feels like Sam 8.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

BLEACH is just full of liars.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s chaotic, but somehow it feels just right.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

The performance is characterized by a smoky atmosphere, with everything being uncertain and chaotic.

The story progresses in an ambiguous manner with a fluffy development.

Looking at just this part, Sam 8 is the same, but the analysis did not progress.

162: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I’m currently playing Elden Ring, and it feels like this.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

The trap at that time was a fake… it was a decoy that appeared to be a bluff.

It’s oddly addictive.

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

BLEACH simply has the panels getting larger and larger from a certain point…

They’re a skilled one-shot writer and can handle tight panel layouts well, huh?

168: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Sam8 isn’t characterized by a vague progression; it has a solidly conveyed setting, but the conversations and actions of the characters are rather erratic, so it doesn’t feel like it’s the kind of story that invites deep analysis or discussion.

170: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In cases where the gameplay is dense and involves this kind of storytelling, it’s a different story.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

At least the character must be good since the troublesome old otaku, Sensei Makua, is really into it.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

Be careful, because without the essential elements of entertainment, such things won’t amount to anything!

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think Bloodborne is closer to the vibe of a FromSoftware game than Elden Ring.

176: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I felt this way mainly towards the end while reading Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

The dialogue style of Taiyou Matsumoto’s more minor works is like this.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

The development around Katsu Hachi had a story that felt quite vague and evasive.

The week after the look-alike’s brother appeared, the protagonist had changed so much that I thought, “Could this really not be an impersonation!?”

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s clear that younger kids might get involved at the point of secondary creation permission.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have the impression that discussions about FromSoftware games often lead to topics like “omanko” or menstrual blood…

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

Uro Mira might be animated someday.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like it would become an incomprehensible sentence if translated into English.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems to be incredibly popular, and it looks like the doujinshi fans jumped in without properly reading, resulting in a situation where they ended up resolving plot points later on.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not like conversation and story are the main focus, like in an RPG.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the settings are too rigidly established, it’s the author who will be troubled.

It’s fine, let’s go with something vague and rough.

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that people are divided between threads where they speak in a set format and threads where they speak seriously.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you set things too rigidly in a game, it can cause problems when releasing DLC or sequels.

It’s just right to keep it vague.

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

The level of difficulty in understanding, similar to Pandora Hearts, is just right.

195: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When they released an adventure game in the usual From style, it flopped like Deracine, and if someone claims they’re hiding behind gameplay satisfaction, I can almost agree with that.

196: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Perhaps a normal reader would say something like, “I don’t really understand it, but the actions and characters are cool, so it’s fun to read, just like a male teacher.”

197: Japan Otaku Reviews

A guy who tries to cover up with a handsome appearance like in Gundam SEED DESTINY.

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s also a valid approach since readers of a weekly series tend to forget the setting over time.

199: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I don’t really remember much about the ending of CLAMP.

202: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t understand the technical terms at all, so I’m reading Kagurabachi like this.
