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

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Is that so?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx30

Surely, no one will understand.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx57

It can be said that way.

It can be said that it’s not really the case.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

The answer lies in the thicket.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

It’s about how it looks.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

The important things are not visible.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

This work can be said to be both fiction and non-fiction.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s keep it simple.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx24

It seems to be a conceptually ultimate version of Evangelion.

One could say it is not to the extent of making such a declaration.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

You’ll understand eventually…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a mystery that it’s not a skit but has regular fans attached to it.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not because of failure; it’s intentional.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

Half of it is correct.

My ears hurt.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx22

I think that no matter how good the characters are in Sam 8, it can still get frustrating.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

There will come a time when you will understand too.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

I don’t get the gist of it.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

If the discussion progresses, the setting might actually seem interesting…

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Finding answers is wonderful, but not finding answers is also wonderful. Don’t you think so?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

But it’s sold 45 million copies.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Upper-tier characters can be overwhelmingly defeated by lower-tier characters due to vague reasons for victory, without any training or power-ups.

The strength discussion thread might be getting lively.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

From what I’ve seen of “Uro Mira,” the development follows a classic route and definitely includes elements that excite, so I think it’s designed for people who want to enjoy it without using their heads.

It’s just that a strange otaku who reads too much into things has been born and has started making analyses…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

A world line without Eva that lacked resistance to such things.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the next episode after the passionate fan of Zack Baran posted an intense analysis tweet at the otaku girls’ gathering, Zack turned out to be a traitor, and it was disappointing.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The battle scene ends midway, so it’s unclear whether we won or lost.

Until the next turn comes, 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, it is worth filling it with my own wild fantasies… but that’s not without limits.

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

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

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

It seems that the prediction that eight or nine out of ten viewers will become popular among those who watch anime is not entirely off the mark, right?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

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

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Putting aside my own emergence using this method, don’t suggest the same thing to newcomers.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

But in weekly serialized shonen manga, it’s quite common to fill the gaps with deep and suggestive lines to stretch things out, isn’t it…?

The old man from Zangetsu talks about things that don’t make sense.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

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

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

It probably has the strength to be enjoyable even if you watch it without thinking, thanks to its solid animation and artwork.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

If anything, there is something that comes to mind from the current jump.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

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

There’s only elements that are amusing, like swords and such.

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 it somewhat similar with Uron Mirage?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

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

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

About 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 cloud the issue, the pace of the story will slow down.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

What happened to Zack, seriously?

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Surprisingly, it had a lot of comedic retorts in the story.

It seems like we will proceed without it basically.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Your Zanpakutō is a rare type that is always in its released form.

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I want to see more original idioms that come up frequently.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Surely, this is what Eva is like…

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

It feels like many smartphone games from the mainland have serious stories like this.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Uncle Sinbad’s archetype in the latter part of Magi was something like this.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

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

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the midst of the story, when I’m having casual conversations about ambiguous things like “Isn’t it like this?”, there are people who come at me saying, “Do you have definitive evidence? Don’t treat your baseless fantasies as facts! You’re bothering the author!”

It’s reassuring that such things are encapsulated in the style.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sam8 has ended up this way unintentionally, but I’m planning to keep it ambiguous from the beginning, so the roots are probably different.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can you stop saying lines that have double meanings?

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 plenty of highlights in the battles.

It’s just that there are so many implications that I can’t predict where the story is heading.

79: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

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

It’s like a suggestive prophecy.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

In a vague and ambiguous situation

Huh!? Then what about those words from that time!? I think it would feel nice once you get hooked.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

The warrior god, which is treated as a symbol of Sam 8, is essentially saying in summary, “You should already understand the answer yourself,” and is purely guiding you.

It’s just that the way of delivering lines is the embodiment of Sam 8.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

In gaming terms, this is related to FromSoftware.

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 a feeling of absolutely not wanting to confirm it.

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The inhabitants of a world where Evangelion and Bleach were popular couldn’t possibly say anything about Uro-Mira.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tetelios, could it be that one?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although there are many scenes where Sam 8 is explaining but doing it poorly and not conveying the point,

In addition to that, there are many evasive lines like “You could say that, but you could also say the opposite.”

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

You are my…!

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If it’s a social game from the continent, it’s probably Ark Knights that has a similar atmosphere.

Almost all the characters are speaking solely based on the information, knowledge, and emotions within themselves, so the story progresses in a very suspicious manner without any objective explanation.

But the character design is good, so I guess it’s fine…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

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

It’s essentially a past arc.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like there are hints, but it’s all just random.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the lines are vague, using a standard form will probably prevent trolls from sticking around.

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It has an Inuyasha vibe.

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

There seems to be a lot of phrases used as jokes in the Uro Mira anti-thread.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

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

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

A weekly serialized publication is like grasping at clouds.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

It depends on how it looks.

My insight is still lacking.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

The old Eva was the source of 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, don’t they just sound like they understand but actually don’t know 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 I guess it’s fine! Nice to meet you! This is often the case in serialized manga.

105: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

From watching the entire episode that featured Uro-Mira, it seems that Uro-Mira also properly follows the developments of a shonen manga.

Everyone’s words and actions are just like Gendo Ikari.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Manga version of Scrapped Princess

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

When I see the one that has the first episode, it seemed like a wordplay on how far you can stuff in ambiguous lines.

Also, Zack.

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s something like BLEACH…

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s too funny that someone lost the battle because of Uro Mira in Witch Watch.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

Self-consciously did the “Medaka Box”.

That’s a bit unreasonable, you know.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think that Jaguar fans in this world get provoked with comments like “it’s below Uro Mira” every time a work they like gets canceled.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Does it feel like the beginning of the Tales series continues 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 there is a complete division of layers between the thread for playing with templates and the thread for serious analysis.

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think it’s different because BLEACH has a proper story even if it’s lightly flavored.

It’s not a work where the lack of explanation ends up having an unexpected effect.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s about how it looks.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

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

123: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It can’t be said that Eva’s analysis, which seemed to think of nothing, was impossible, as it was actually quite 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

MiHoYo games still have analyses that connect in a way that makes you think, “Could it be…?” which attracts a lot of theorists.

126: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The author isn’t generous either, you know. Bleach.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

The interpretation of the main story is too vague, making the criticisms essentially ineffective, which is too strong a point.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

What’s amazing is that even the colleagues of Mr. Makua, who doesn’t seem to be that into manga, are saying they like it.

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Well, I don’t really understand the content, but it seems like it would also be liked by those who just enjoy repeating clichés.

Is that kind of layer…? If someone reacts with “What!? This line!?”, it seems like it would hit really hard.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

It really shows the skill of a veteran that there doesn’t seem to be a work that clearly fits an underlying inspiration.

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 UroMiRa, saying “Why not say it clearly every time!”

I wanted it to be done naturally.

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

BLEACH is kind of bland… I wonder what it is.

It really feels like I’m drinking Calpis that should have a rich flavor, but it’s been diluted to almost the consistency of water.

Reading it all at once in a paperback doesn’t feel dull.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think it’s a type of popularity that would probably be adapted into a stage production now.

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the end, what the heck!! The one that had the highest intensity was “Saikano.”

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

Eva uses terms from existing myths and the Bible somewhat arbitrarily, which makes it a bit dubious, but the drama and battles surrounding Shinji-kun go through specific challenges and resolutions, excluding the latter part and the movies.

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

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

142: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Since I’m being absent-minded, it would probably be easy to couple up…

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

Arknights has too many organizations and individuals with clearly differing intentions, making it hard to remember names when they come up, and the fact that translations can vary depending on the context leads to confusion.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Yu-Gi-Oh, the analysis becomes amazing because it can be interpreted solely through the illustrations and effect text.

In an official announcement, “How the heck would I know that, you idiot!” often occurs.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember laughing a lot at the impression that if Osamu Tezuka were to write it, it would probably end in three volumes, around the time after the Soul Society arc ended a long time ago.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

The long abstract dialogue parts in Blue Archive have a nostalgia similar to when I visited my alma mater.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

The more I hear, the more it feels like Sam8.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

BLEACH is just full of liars.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s all chaotic, but for some reason, it’s coming together perfectly.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

The feature of the performance is the smoke screen, where everything is uncertain and chaotic.

The development progresses in a vague manner, floating along.

When you look at just this part, Sam 8 seems the same, but the analysis didn’t progress.

162: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

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

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

That trap back then was a fake… so it was a decoy that appeared to be a bluff.

It’s somehow oddly addictive.

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

BLEACH simply keeps getting bigger and bigger as the story progresses.

They’re a writer who is good at one-shots and can effectively handle tight panel layouts.

168: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Sam 8 isn’t loosely developed; while the setting is clearly articulated, the characters’ conversations and actions are erratic, which makes me feel it’s not a story suitable for deep analysis.

170: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In works with rich gameplay, the storytelling aspect is a different matter…

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

At least the character must be good since the bothersome old otaku, Ms. Makawa, is really into it.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

Be careful, because without the core of entertainment, this kind of thing won’t resonate at all!

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think Bloodborne is closer to a FromSoftware game than Elden Ring, in terms of atmosphere.

176: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

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

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

The dialogue in Taiyo Matsumoto’s more minor works is like this.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

The developments around Katsuhachi were quite vague in terms of story and felt like it was shrouded in smoke.

The week after the look-alike brother appeared, the protagonist seemed totally different, and I was like, “Is it really not an impersonation?!”

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can see that young people might join in at the point of granting permission for derivative works.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

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

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

Uro Mira might be animated eventually.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like the translation would turn into a nonsensical sentence.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems really popular, and I have a feeling that doujin (fan works) created by those who quickly jumped on the trend without reading properly might end up leading to situations where plot points are later tied up like some kind of foreshadowing.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not like conversations and stories are the main focus, like in an RPG.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the author haphazardly solidifies the settings, it’s going to be a problem.

It’s okay, let’s be vague and go with the flow.

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that people are divided between threads where they talk in a standard way and threads where they speak seriously.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you lock in your settings poorly in a game, it will be troublesome when releasing DLC or sequels.

It’s just right to keep it vague.

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

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

195: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

There are cases like Deracine where the usual FromSoftware vibe didn’t land well when they released an adventure game, and if someone said they were just masking that with gameplay satisfaction, I could see why that would be convincing.

196: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

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

197: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

A handsome guy who distracts like in Gundam SEED DESTINY.

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think this is one valid answer, as readers of a weekly series tend to forget the settings.

199: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

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