Goodnight punpun manga10/29/2023 The sort of "life mission" to correct past wrongs for some of the characters seemed good. That's about where the positives about the series end. The artstyle is fantastic and having the protagonist (and his family) depicted in such an innocent childlike doodling speaks worlds about their inner selves. Goodnight Punpun started out extremely promising. ]Would you like your Welcome to the NHK to be twenty times more depressing and have a gorillion times less satisfying conclusion? Then this manga is for you! ![]() ![]() I didn't even have to guess the author's age of when he wrote it whilst punching the reader in our face with impact-full scenes of mediocrityĪll the characters act /think as a 25+ year old man from the start of his adult work-life to his premature despair, getting tired of work and his disgust of how the Japanese society works (at the same time thinking all the world works the same and forces that view upon us readers). ![]() For example the train of thought of the MC as a child is devoid of the many intrinsic emotions the depictions of children should display ,not that he lacks the intention but the trains of thought are totally wrong, they're shown as if the MC had external experience(not shown in the manga) that doesn't come from himself or of the floating face. He does manage to show us his (pretty egoistic) prejudice on society whilst boring me to death.īut it totally fails to display emotions outside vulgarity and mediocrity. One of the many attempts of the author the separate himself from the pieces of work from his age would be the more or less vanguardistic (for the time) mix of drawing styles on the characters in manga (which was pretty common on other media outside manga ,even old-fashioned at the time) and overuse of exaggerated gestures,actions combined with sudden changes in the action (one second we're killing each other ,the next panel they're fu**) that are used but the author to distort and convey his views. The intentionality of the author is way too obvious and the story gets forced into the characters. I feel like when I watched "wonderful " movie (the one of the boy with a scarred face). I'll keep reading it since it's supposed to be good but I don't think the rating will go up.Įdit :Most overrated piece of garbage I've ever read. Last updated on October 13th, 2021, 1:54pm I would recomend it, but don't expect this to be a life changing experience like some people say. ![]() On the bright side some of the manga's dialogues and reflections are interesting, nothing that hasn't ever been said, but interesting nonetheless and the artstyle is very original imo, I really like Punpun's character design through the manga. I know in real life depression isn't really supposed to have a cause sometimes, but from a storytelling perspective having pretty much all of your cast being broken for no apparent reason doesn't really work for me.Īlso, I know mangas aren't supposed to be realistic depictions of reality but I found some of the events and the way the unfold pretty dumb. At many points in the series I was just kept wondering the real reason why Punpun and every other character are depressed, but in the end it all just seemed like sadnes for the sake of sadness and making bad decisions for the sake of making them. The subplots didn't really lead to anything and by the end of the series they were still more interesting to me than whatever was happening with Punpun. I enjoyed it, but expected more since I jumped into it believing it was going to be a super deep and introspective story.
