Show Notes
Content Warning: This episode and the series it covers (SSS-Class Revival Hunter) goes into discussion about sensitive topics such as suicide and child starvation.
Hunter assemble! This month we're bringing to you an action series jam-packed with some of the most emotional peaks and valleys we've ever experienced in the Returner/Tower Fantasy genre -- SSS-Class Revival Hunter! What starts as a typical story with a setup akin to Re:Zero ends up unraveling into a masterfully written story about self-actualization, and reining in a Jesus complex before it completely breaks our ML, Confucius Kim. By all means, there were so many things that could have gone wrong in this series, but much like "What It Means To Be You," the level of tact and emotional intelligence in the writing displays a deep understanding and empathy toward the human condition. Join Marion and Amber as they break down what made this Tapas series so special!
