My opinion on Kotoko is thus.

As a character she's absolutely perfect for a series like this and the themes that I think Milgram is playing with, about punishment and blame and responsibility and justice. I think that Milgram needed to have a character like her, a vigilante who passes punishment down on people based on limited information on their crimes, to go and look at the protagonists and go "How much can you condemn me, when you're doing the same thing? Am I not the same as you, the audience?"

As a person however, I hate her. I hate her entire shitty ideology whereby people can deserve to be punished and her judgement of the world is Right and can never be wrong ever because I have met people like her and I have wanted to throttle them just as much as I want to throttle her.

I also think her design is hot and she and Es maybe should go down hand in unlovable hand together.

Looking back on your old Milgram posts. I’m wondering, did you ever watch Death Parade? It talks a lot about the idea of the impartial punisher and why that doesn’t work.

I watched, like, the first few episodes. I do really need to finish it.
