TIME TO ROC N' ROLL

I wasn't sure about that word, but it felt okaish. I also considered dissertation, but the two seemed equal to me.
And I couldn't think of another word that gave me the same feeling. :shrug:
I never really associated deconstruction with critical analysis for some reason. May be my non English speaking fail or the word has been contaminated by TVTropes.

The abstractness that the dr subterfuge is referring to is very easy for me to trip over.

So just to set me straight, was it an improper use of the word?

And yes, that was the link. Thank you for finding it.

When you disseminate information, for example, you are making it widely known, like broadcasting it. I wouldn't call a work of detailed analysis a dissemination. Deconstruction...wouldn't really be a good word to use here either, now that I think about it more. I was just thinking about it in terms that it basically involves picking something apart and looking at the pieces. But usually (always?) that's done to show that something doesn't really make sense.

Yeah, dissertation would probably be the best.

I agree. Too often people want to use a fancy word for something that doesn't need it (this doesn't mean the analysis isn't interesting).

Y'know, rereading the manga, I forgot how much Garo gets his rear end kicked while he hunts. He gets the poo poo beat out of him a bunch of times, and right now he got a big hole in his leg and hand thanks to Golden Ball and Spring Mustachio. I just find it amusing considering he's the biggest arc villain the series has ever had and how many heroes he manages to take down.

Yeah, that's very true. And then there are fights where he loses horribly, like with Watchdog Man. Thank goodness for his unexplained ability to grow stronger and faster just by beating people up or by being beaten up.

Garo is basically a shonen main character, down to learning from his losses and hard work being the key to growing stronger.

Except, y’know, he prefers to think of himself as a monster, since they’re totally the underdogs. :v:

Metal Bat is a real treat. His cocky-as-poo poo attitude, the small EarthBound references with him, and the classic "tough guy has a super soft spot for his sibling" thing. The S-Class Heroes in general are fantastic.

(Webcomic Spoilers) And Garo really is interesting, I'm really excited to see Murata's take on his monster forms.

That said, there's no reason anyone here can't go read ONE's original webcomic, which is really good.

If you've already read that, I'll just say that they've already taken his character in a bit of a different direction. Original style Garou didn't lose as much, for one thing. So while there are certainly signs it'll go in the same direction, and there's probably no way they'd change the thematic and emotional resonance of the ending, you can never really know with the redraw.

Murata's not going to miss a chance to do two things:

1. Go balls out on an action sequence
2. Draw BESTO GARL OH YEA!!!!

The idea is to make people more likely to forget the spoiler, not less. It's going to be like 2 years before the manga gets to it, they might just if it's not hyped up to the levels it deserves to be.

e: I mean it doesn't deserve any hype at all, just read the manga it's all good don't think about things.

He's got a lot of that to go through before he can even think of challenging Genos.
