Governmentality and Revolutionary Poetics.

The best cartoon I've seen in years. Strong in the world setting, the demographic farm cultivates high-quality population and then "eats human flesh" is by no means a novelty. It can be attached to a realistic fable, or it can be made from a post-human ecological philosophy.

And eating the fresh brains of laissez-faire and therefore the smartest children is a pig-hearted simile of the evolution of “governmentality” from the body to the heart.

The paradox is that cleverness brings danger, and some children will reflect on the "falseness" of the "world", and there will be the possibility of "enlightenment", from whether or not enlightenment to whether or not to revolution, this is the origin of the story.

The "prison break" in the second half becomes the strategy of revolutionary war. How is the leader of the Holy Mother, the leftist favorite, possible in the cruel reality of precarious calculation, how to disguise and distinguish between enemy and self, how to distinguish and calculate means and goals, and whoever sacrifices will be liberated who?

In fact, I have no expectations for the second part. Are you fighting guerrilla warfare in the jungle outside the wall? (If you have read the manga, please do not spoil it)

If you return to reality, smart you, are you willing to give up your seemingly bright life and devote yourself to the unknown darkness to struggle?

    Watched it in one go! ! ! It is different from the dark fairy tale of the overhead world from the perspective of the young son of the same type of "From the Abyss". The difference is that everyone in this work brings their own tricks, digging holes for each other and arranging each other. In terms of themes, there are some metaphors for human society today, such as: human beings are suddenly treated by higher creatures? What will happen if they are raised and become food materials, there is something worth thinking about. The level of sophistication of the painting is very average and unattractive, but the plot is so hard to put down once you pick it up, I'm glad I started watching it after this season was all over. There are a lot of comics, and the first season covers chapter 37. Those who can't wait can read it. Looking forward to the second season of the anime~

    Line: You can't lose. Just do the last two episodes. Nothing ahead
