      On the iTunes store you can find The Dark Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft (parts 1 -6). They're read by Wayne June, and they are glorious. And, you can search for the Shunned House on UA-cam for a sample.

      @i hate anime Bruh. Japan is doing fine, there is nothing wrong with anime in the first place. Claiming that anime rots our brain is the same as boomers saying games rots our brain. Which is clearly not.

    • @raito6689
      @raito6689 4 роки тому +3

      @i hate anime You sent me a link to a documentary about loneliness in Japan? You do realise that there is other factors to consider here beside blindly jump to anime being the cause? I am no fool to blindly jump to conclusions without finding more concrete evidence that links to anime being the major cause.
      Isolation? Factors could be their loved ones past away, extreme work schedule, extreme introvert lifestyle, socially inactive, it could also be simply because they don't want to bother their family much and decided to isolate themselves, mental illness, etc.
      These kind of people need help, they need someone to talk to. Ranting about "anime bad" will not going to help them. Also, if there are people who isolate themselves to watch anime, i can also say the same thing with gaming. This is extreme addiction. Don't blame the media without even considering the individual that goes down the rabbit hole themselves.
      Suicide, i don't see any connection to anime whatsoever. Like i wrote, there are many other factors to consider. The possibility could be because of life circumstances, depression, existential crisis, not noticing self-worth, loved ones past away (can also categorise as depression), a broken heart (depression), mental illness, etc.
      These kind of people need therapy, before their suicidal tendency get the hold of them. I have been there before, so i know how it feel to be suicidal and it's not because of anime. Anime has nothing to do with me being suicidal. It's because of my life being shit ever since i was a child. So, anime has little to nothing to do with people being suicidal.

    • @raito6689
      @raito6689 4 роки тому +2

      @i hate anime I am slowly losing hope about getting my points through you.
      Like i wrote, i can say the same thing about anime with games. Anything can be an addiction. Banning them won't solve the problem. Look what happen to the prohibition of alcohol in America a couple decades ago. Did it work? No. It made things worse.
      Otaku and Hikikomori consuming anime being a coincidence? *YES.* Otaku in Japan is what Nerds is in America. Hikikomori is called a shut-in person. They have social withdrawal, but does it have anything to do with anime? Possibly. But what happens if i replace "anime" with "video games"? Nothing. It's the same either way. Why? They lack relationship. That is nothing to do with them obsessing with anime. It just so happen that they like to watch it. Nothing more, nothing less.
      A way to escape reality? Isn't that what *ENTERTAINMENT* was all about? I live a shit life is the reason why i want some form of escaping reality. I already dealt with my painful ass time in school, of course i want some time off back home.
      You are overthinking what anime is. Because like i wrote many times before, if i switch anime with video games and you get the same effect.

    [In narrator's voice] These tales of heinous experiments and complete apathy for those unfortunate enough to happen upon them are... captivating. This man's ardent for his craft over necromancy must have caused him to abandon the most basic of ethics. Yet the records of his menacing pursuits still seem somewhat abridged. His manor may still hold the appalling details of what has only been referred to as the THING.
    And thus I await with earnest enthusiasm for the next chapter: The Darkest Dungeon.

    Spoiler question:
    Why should the previous ancestor send you an invitation to the darkest dungeon & suicide?
    and in success you repeat their action? a futile exercise of prolonged life span?
    Or it simply express the theme of H.p lovecraft horror.

      SPOILERS
      Ancestor probably committed suicide to ultimately join with the eldritch gods. He wasn't dead, no. He was something much more than alive, as you saw.
      To completely awaken the lumbering horror beneath the manor the Ancestor needed the life force of all the sacrifices you sent into the ruins, weald, warrens, cove, and ultimately, the darkest dungeon. You awakened the heart of everything, your heroes were not really supposed to be -that- strong to be able to slay it.
      But alas, it is merely dormant again. For you, caretaker, cannot withstand what you now know and saw without losing yourself to the madness that is the desire to get closer to the Ancient Gods.
      And so, it starts all over again.

      He has arrogantly climbed to the top of the world's ladder in power and magic strength, blinded and amoral along the way. His thirst for power has driven him insane, and yet he notices not as his morals and ethics crumble away. HP lovecraft often wrote of antagonists, like the reanimator who believed they were in control, but were ultimately, as human nature often leads to, folly, of the most punishing sort. That glimpse of pure evil as the gateway was opened induced such a state of terror that when he came to, the true depth of terror now at stake could not be ignored by any delusion of grandeur. He wrote that letter because he knew he could not oppose that creature in the darkest dungeon. It would require braver, more foolish men than him.

      No, the Heir and Caretaker are, very much, two different people. Aside from the fact that the Caretaker takes up whole weeks in various recreational pursuits (which wouldn't leave him time to tend to the estate's affairs). Aside from the fact that he is demonstratively mad _already_ in the intro cutscene (the symbol for madness shows above his head as he drives the coach). And that if the Heir were the Caretaker, he wouldn't be mad until AFTER the completion of the main story. Aside from the fact that, at the tutorial level, we are specifically told that the Caretaker ran off following the crash, and yet both the game and the Ancestor's narration are focused around the coach and the party rather than the Caretaker.
      Aside from all that, the Ancestor speaks of the Caretaker - specifically and by name - as not doing so hot, from time to time. If the Ancestor meant the Heir, he would have addressed the player in the second person, as he always did. Moreover, one does not refer to the noble owner of an estate as a mere "caretaker", and the Ancestor gives US, the player character, all the due import as the scion of an aristocratic line.
      No, it is altogether clear that the Caretaker is just that: a man doing a job as caretaker and groundskeeper of the crumbling and infested remains of the estate. A man who long ago went insane, though not so insane as to be incapable of working (for a certain value of "work", anyway). Meanwhile, the Heir is Us - the Player Character - who is fresh going in, yet to succumb to madness.

      In what alternate universe is the Ancestor a good guy in any way? He clearly knew what he was doing and people even warned him of it, yet he still went out of his way to achieve it, for no good reason. He murdered the people that taught him necromancy for what I assume is just laughs, made a poor man rip his own eyeballs out by terrorizing him and making nobles drink blood which turned them into vampires for, what I again assume, just laughs. He’s a fascinating character sure, but in no way is he misunderstood. He’s a sadistic mad man who, after a while, started realizing what he was doing and killed himself to escape all the trouble, leaving you to clean up the mess.
