Is it actually good, or just edge bait?

The movie gave me a ferish for jacking odd onto plastic plants, if it's any consolation.
It's a masterpiece desu. As is the live action movie.

But why, if you don't mind me asking. I enjoyed it, but beyond the sex and violence, what is there?
>edge bait
The fuck does it even mean?
>>149843240
Is it edgy for the sake of being edgy.

>>149843240
by todays standarts it's pretty tame imo
>>149843224
he's trolling - beyond the snuff and lolsofuckedup characters there is nothing to it.
>>149842917
I didn't particularly like the movie, it seemed to take itself too seriously and be 2deep4u
>>149842917
It's pretty damn good, but why not just watch it first and then talk about it?

Yamamoto usually focuses on psychology and human behavior in his works so there's that aspect

arent most things blank for blanks sake? the creator likes thing and includes thing for other people who like thing to like

It works as a satire of the early days of manga that had "badass" big strong protagonists with strict moral codes. It provides an alternative as a wimpy protagonist who has a weird and flawed moral code. Plus the cartoonish torture was satire of overly-violent manga.

I rather loved the live action movie, I suppose it is perhaps unnecessarily edgy to the point of that being perhaps a downside to many, but I found the psychological aspect of the main character fascinating. I found it refreshing not to have a MC who was a highschool goody-two shoes
>>149846678 I think this is pretty accurate
The author likes to explore these hugely ambiguous, flawed protagonists, whom you get the feeling the story is simply revolving around, rather than them being the hero, or having some answer.
It's hard to describe. Not really an anti-hero, but a hero with basically actual autism that makes them focus on the wrong things. This also gives it a cool, somewhat detatched feeling, as your emotional preference in the story quickly retreats when you see how crazy the MC can get. This probably sounds like something you've seen or read, but it really isn't. There's such a stark sense of detachment in this author's works. I find Homunculous to be the same way. Sometimes you see the MC do some shit that makes you realize you didn't really know him. His characters are interesting like that. Sometimes their actions appear out of left field, but it's more in-line with how people are in real life, if a bit unexpected and non-standard for fiction.

Like oyasumi pun pun?
It gets a little too goofy near the end, but it's pretty great.
What happened to the Protag at the end? Did he ever go back to being a super good killer?
>>149846565
but the point of being a "good" writer/creator is to give it a context that has a logical structure.
Let's say that you would like to see a destruction of a city in a military conflict.
Now you could get a story where there is a town and people are living their lives, sunny day, nothing special happens and then suddenly out of nowhere bombs dropping like snow, dead civilians on the streets under debris, everything on fire, completely no explanation ever why did the bombs feel other then "cause why the fuck not".
And then you got other story where the whole scenario leads to the bombing of a town or after a bombing the whole context of why the bombs where dropped is explained.
Now think to yourself which one is more absorbing, has stronger effect, is more interesting, provoke more though, builds space for reflection and so on and so forth and you'll have some answers

It's entertaining edge
