Message: [QUOTE="gwardojones, post: 244474, member: 8305"] Berserk was huge for me for about fifteen years. I saw myself in Guts and his struggles to fight through a profoundly hostile world. I felt seen in a way I don't think I ever had before. His refusal to stop fighting, even when things seem completely impossible has been a source of encouragement for me for most of my adult life. These days, I'd say Tokyo Ghoul and xxxHolic have resonated with me more powerfully than just about anything ever before. Very grateful to Japan for creating a culture that values sincerity in art. The US is almost completely devoid of sincerity, so I often feel like I'm starving when I try to connect with anything produced here. The music from that game can bring me to tears without a moment's notice. It's such a beautiful game. A horrible sequel to Chrono Trigger with some really questionable RPG mechanics, but the art, characters, and music are like nothing else. [/QUOTE]
