uzumaki could be a good cosmic horror, but it would need to be much slower-paced and much more subtle -- the sense of "maddening" or losing one's mind over time is essential to this form of horror. in episode 1, it starts beating you over the head immediately and maintains the same hurried pace to the point where everything becomes a blur and everything feels trivial.

i am troubled by the fate of the shinobu-araragi relationship. the daughter thing trivializes it and makes it silly. figure out a way to fucking kill her if you don't want to make her araragi's OTP. :smog:

if nishio turns hitagi into a vampire, then it's truly over.

since this is a normie BAP account, there are several NPCs in the replies saying "she's 14!"
the age 14 is commonly selected by mangaka and anime/LN writers because it reflects the earliest point at which puberty has finished. in reality, there are many 14-year-old girls who have not finished puberty and thus still look like children, but there are also many that look identical to 18-year-olds. asuka pretty obviously falls in the latter category (i'm excluding those who age so quickly that they're already starting to hit the wall at 18). essentially, youth is maximized without entering into paraphilic childhood-fetishism. no one considers asuka to be a "loli"

it's pretty common for kick streamers to ask what appears to be an adult woman their age and receive the answer "i'm 14"
this is confusing and surprising to people because it's much rarer for males to finish puberty that early, so the streamers will go "WHAAAAAAAT NOOOOOO WAYYYYYY YOU GOTTA BE LYING! CHAT, WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!"
