>>4396803Nice attention to detail when making the tantō with a Lance of Longinus engraving. When one is an artist, one has all the time in the world to include hidden details and meanings. It's the joy of being a creator, be it a creator of life or of an object with no life yet formed in such a way that it feels more alive than an actual living thing. To give life to an object rather than birthing it through natural means. It's only a matter of time until humans will replicate nature, just with metal and artificial sinew, maybe even cloning. Ha, maybe when it hits the market we'll get AI Rei dolls with voice acting. Still, I don't know, feels like humanity is flying too close to the sun. When you get addicted, you don't rule over the drug that can take any addicting form, it rules over you. Humanity just helps the worst of our desires to be manifested through products. Through business. And we pay for them so they extinguish that flame of desire by indulging in it. Like drugs that prolong a cancer patient's life yet don't cure the cancer. Anno tells us to stop being the way we are because of his products consumption yet advertises it so we consume it more.
