![]() ![]() Not you- culture that anime itself tends to glorify and coddle those with a similar mindset. Make no mistake-this isn’t just about someone growing into a socially viable person, it's a show that’s directly criticizing the type of self-loathing and presumptuous belief that it’s others. Why can’t it be any different when it comes to reality? Tomozaki is proven hypocritical. It’s blaming others when it's your own lack of effort that has you in the position you are. (The ‘characters’) He believes there is a sort of social hierarchy he can’t break free from (The ‘game’), and that some people are just born better than others.(The ‘matchups’) It’s the exact same whiny and arrogant point of view he himself rebuked being directed towards TackFam. He blames others for his own personal woes. When it comes to “real life”, Tomozaki is Nakumura in TackFam. When we contrast this to the other half of the basis of the show: Tomozaki’s first interaction with Hinami, we become aware of what the major focal point actually is. Tomozaki takes pride in his devotion to the game, and won’t accept baseless slander from someone who hasn’t put in the work he has. A low level Marth player would still get destroyed by a top level Fox on FD, to put it into Smash Bros. He beats him even with the worst of matchups. Tomozaki proves it's a matter of skill, talent, and effort. ![]() But Nakumura is arrogant, he blames the game, the characters. Up against Nakumura, a regular classmate of his and someone far beneath his skill level, he easily destroys him. Tomozaki is ranked 1 in TackFam, the universe’s depiction of a popular fighting game. importance of self-improvement, but primarily it's biting against irrational subconscious anti-social mindsets that cause people anguish.įittingly to this narrative, Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun opens with a scene that can easily be interpreted as generic and a meaningless interpretation of a gamer, but in actuality is one half of communicating the entire message of the show. Though it’s simplistic and very much adapted from a light novel, it’s fully aware of both its audience and the landscape of anime similar to it. I can’t blame you for thinking that sounds impossible based on the surface level display this show gives off. Not only is it arguably one of the most fascinating and culturally relevant anime that has aired in the last decade or so, but it’s a show that contains genuine character exploration and growth. I want to iterate this before all else being it’s important: This is not nearly as gimmicky as the synopsis puts it. ![]()
