Hi Bird! I really don’t think these have anything you’d be interested in at all, but i was wondering if you had any opinions on episodic AMV based media? Like Alien Stage or Milgram, does that concept intrigue you in any way?

Nooot really! I've seen as these things have been popping up in the past couple years... They're a little inscrutable to me. 9.9 I'm not very good with series that require a lot of, scavenger hunts, keeping track of events, umm, like Milgram has audio dramas and a voting element right? It's not something that feels easily summarized in a wiki, nor easy to do a quick tab through of the content... Kind of hard to wrap my teeth around anything!

The second aspect that I have been kind of confuzzled about is... Both Alien Stage and Milgram have an element of characters being executed potentially... Gameshows? Killing games?? A bunch of characters trapped somewhere, have to do [x] or else they die — not my cup of tea... I don't like this as a means of breeding tension & drama. Not really the type who wants to see romance blossom in a saw trap... generally speaking... Your danganronpas and hunger games... I do not wish for them...

I find that media cobbled together this way, uses it as an excuse to get a bunch of disparate archetypes in the same room, as everyone is hostage or wtfever, I guess it feels like having too many main characters in the room, competing with their extreme personalities... Also er, I struggle when something is such a multimedia project like this, where there's surely like big name seiyuus and composers, and it all feels packaged together with the intention to appeal to as many people as possible ig, I don't get much of a sense of personability... Not like someone had a story to tell here. *scratches head* Or if they did, I have a hard time seeing it — an accessibility issue then?? I'm speaking very broadly bc it all is very inscrutable for me, like I said before. 9.9

Perhaps I'm a simple soul and need more structure... That being said, nothing has been very tempting, visually or narratively, so I am maybe unmotivated to investigate anything...! Mayhaps come back to me when there's some sort of horny lolishota AMV series, HAHA. That's what it took for me to get into vtubers sooo. ¯\(°_o)/¯
