The Jaden Smith anime looks like someone took one of those how to draw anime books and made it into an actual show. Heck even Kemono Friends which had basically no budget at all and only had 10 people working on it, looks much better than this show that looks like it was made in the early 2000s for it to resurface out of a time capsule.
The what now?
You asked for it so you shall receive it.
lets not figure out whats going on here
I’m sorry but the show creator is Ezra Koenig aka the lead dude from Vampire Weekend so… can someone pls tell me what the fuck is going on
I’m so lost,

– One thing that is not correct in the anime: the traffic lights in Germany are red-yellow-green not red-yellow-blue.
– There is a little bit of Japanese intention here. Traffic signals in Japan in the 1960s were also “red-yellow-green.” However, people called them “red-yellow-blue.” This is because in Japanese: “red-yellow-green” = “aka-ki-midori” (2 syllables, 1 syllable, 3 syllables) “red-yellow-blue” = “aka-ki-ao” (2 syllables, 1 syllable, 2 syllables) And, there were issues about color-blind people having a hard time distinguishing between “red” and “green” colors on the traffic signals – hence, after 1970 all traffic signals in Japan became “red-yellow-blue
…
Maybe it’s not a mistake at all. Indeed, in Episode 03 when Adolf Junkers runs out in front of a passing car, leaving a potentially fatal head injury, the traffic light we see a minute before the accident is "red-yellow-blue”. However… in all other episodes, Episode 27, for example, – it’s “red-yellow-green”:
The traffic light in Episode 03 is twice as important, since it appears in the manga. It’s not just a minor detail added by animators in order to represent a transition between two scenes, it’s a symbol included by Urasawa himself and it is meant to catch one’s attention.
Also, It should be mentioned that Episode 03 is the same episode which already includes a funeral scene right from Twin Peaks – http://erichspringer.tumblr.com/post/160840301828/guess-who-is-rewatching-twin-peaks-this-is
One of Lynch’s main images for Twin Peaks is the traffic light, alone in the night, changing color “red-yellow-…blue”. Traffic lights serve a specific purpose, obviously to direct traffic. However when they continue irregardless, no traffic in sight, unseen, unwitnessed… it seems to reflect the idea of unseen things existing in Twin Peaks. Some hidden forces still in motion.
Generally, we associate red with danger. And within the show it is associated with the Red Room that Cooper sees in his dreams. So it conjures forth ideas of both danger and of the supernatural. When the lights are red, a murder is going to occur.
Now, let’s remind ourselves that Adolf Junkers was chased by something or someone unseen he later called “a monster”. Although we know it was actually Johan, who had already successfully executed his partners, which caused Junkers to run away in terror, we never actually see him and the whole scene evokes an eerie vibe.
In manga the light is just red, while in anime it goes from red to blue symbolizing an act of being saved from what we assume as supernatural danger.
If this Fun Trivia website is remotely accurate, then some German cities did in fact have red, amber, green, and blue traffic lights back in the 1980s. The first couple of episodes took place in the late 1980s, so even if this was a mistake or a “Twins Peak” reference, the blue light could possibly be interpreted as an “engine off” light even though the “engine off” light would supposedly be flashing and contain a white key.

Rosenthal Effect and brain damage
The Rosenthal Effect is basically the psychological term for a self fulfilling prophecy. For example, if you tell someone they are stupid over and over and act as if they are stupid, they may begin to act more stupid partly because it is expected of them, leading others to perceive them as stupid, as well as themselves. I wonder if that’s the case with Johan.
His mother expected from the beginning that he would become a murderer. She even desired it, wanting him or Anna to kill Bonaparta and get revenge for what he did to her husband and herself. Everyone expected so much from Johan- his mother wanting him to kill Bonaparta since before he was even born, Bonaparta wanting him to be the perfect leader of the world since he was a baby, Kinderheim trying to make him into the perfect soldier, the Neo-Nazis wanting him to become their new Hitler. Everyone saying how perfect he is or how he was such an evil monster. Well maybe, he just grew up to be what everyone wanted him to be. A perfect little beautiful monster.
Also, perhaps is it possible that Johan’s prefrontal cortex and the link between the two hemispheres was damaged when he was shot in the head and Tenma operated on him. They don’t mention it, but it is possible. They said the bullet was right in the middle of the brain, it surely must have caused some damage! It was also mentioned that the bullet entered through the front of his head, so perhaps that’s one of the reasons why he lacks fear (at least in some ways), guilt, and empathy. The prefrontal cortex is what mainly controls those things, and is typically damaged in sociopaths.
Then again, it is very likely that he was sociopathic long before that incident. I wonder how old he was when he first killed someone…my guess would be about 7.
“The ventromedial prefrontal cortex processes feelings of empathy, shame, compassion and guilt. Damage to this part of the brain, which occupies a small region in the forehead, causes a diminished capacity for social emotions but leaves logical reasoning intact.” - From Google under search query “Damage to Prefrontal Cortex”
This is where the ventromedial prefrontal cortex is located in the brain:
Personal Thought/Comment(s): Eh, I kind of doubt this area of Johann’s brain got damaged given where he was shot but I’m no expert.
Taking a look at the image of what I presume is Johann’s brain featured in the OP, it looks like the bullet actually did come very close to hitting the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). It’s possible damage might have been done, after all.
However, what’s confusing me is the exact size and whereabouts of vmPFC. Considering this image ...
... has some considerable differences compared to the other image I used. The size of the area is much smaller and looks like the bullet would have missed it.

This week couldn’t get any better…
Please, let this be good!
I’ve always been taken aback by the accusation that “reylos are just closeted self-inserting straight girls” and here’s why: I’ve never projected myself onto Rey. I can’t project myself onto Rey. Rey is who I wish I were. Kylo Ren ? Kylo Ren is who I actually am.
I remember watching the infamous bridge scene and getting teary eyed as he was getting teary eyed. Then he delivered the even more infamous “I’m being torn apart” line and I was bawling.
I may not know what it’s like being a magical space warlord, but I know what it’s like being torn apart, begging to be free of this pain and feeling like it’s too late, like you’re beyond help.
I wish I were Rey, but I’m not. I’m Kylo Ren.
