Not too much happened, but I like the way it is going. I just hope the ''riddles'', ''mystery-aspect'' isn't that illogical / easy as for example in Terror in Tokyo, where geniuses act like emo- children. But it seems more mature so I am confident about this series.
Terror in Tokyo wasn't much of a mystery, don't think it was even meant to be mysterious, since we knew from start who was what.
it was mystery for me as well, since their motive / their past was '' mysterious ''. But with my statement I meant more the ''riddle-aspect''for example the airport scene , with the chess-play ...which was unintelligible , it was just nonsense ,without rhyme or reason
Going by that, you could call any anime where character motives weren't initially apparent/they have an undisclosed past a 'mystery', which is kinda... well, dumb.
I completely agree with you on the chess scene take. The rest of the riddle-aspect was absurd as well.nah sorry mate, I don´t get your point... Terror in Tokyo is on some pages tagged as ''Mystery'' (I tag it as Mystery as well) , and I just told you the reason behind it ... it´s all simple. It is because of their past / motive ... without it , no one would tag Terror in Tokyo as Mystery, but these two aspects are the keylines... ''mysterious past '' refers to Terror in Tokyo not every other anime...-.- , it is a Seinen / thriller anime , therefore if the past is extraordinary and their motive pseudo -complex / shifty then it is a Mystery for me , and I think it refers to 90% of every other Seinen -mystery anime .
so sorry I don´t get your problem.- continue this thread →
it was mystery for me as well, since their motive / their past was ‘’ mysterious ‘’.
It is because of their past / motiveI don't have a problem with it, I just don't see the logic behind it. 'We don't know their past/motives' is not enough for something to be classified as mystery. Might as well classify it as a romance since we have a few scenes of affection between Lisa and Twelve. And if we search for the definition of a mystery genre in literature or other media, an abundence of them will define it along the lines of detective stories (more on that later, though). Also, before the edit, you asked for some examples: Parasyte, Honki, Gangsta, Aoi Bungaku, Berserk, Sword of the Stranger, Jormungand, Narutaru, Berserk, Ghost in the Shell etc. All with some sort of mystery, neither of them a mystery.
‘’mysterious past ‘’ refers to Terror in Tokyo not every other anime…
therefore if the past is extraordinary and their motive pseudo -complex / shifty then it is a Mystery for meSorry, no, if you get to say that Terror in Tokyo is a mystery because of "mysterious past", I get to say Attack on titan is a mystery because "mysterious past" (and I checked, none of the major listing sites list it as mystery). Classifying in a genre is a murky water as is, and we could be here all day arguing about what constitutes what genre. People mostly associate mystery with detective stories and their flow, a lot of definitons of it are along those lines. I can say that my take on it is that focus is what matters. I'm by no means saying that Terror in Tokyo doesn't have some mystery elements, but it doesn't have near enough of them to be defined as a representative of a mystery genre. It just doesn't put focus on that, that's not the driving force of the anime. Just like cool fights and other action elements trump the mystery about the Titans and all the shenanigans in Attack on titan.
So sorry, mate, just like you don't get my supposed problem, I don't get your classification.
