You really hit the nail on the head here with her character. She lives a life of contradictions, which is particularly relevant to an overarching theme of Katanagatari of life and death happening from circumstance and context. She gets stronger to get weaker. She plays around with what’s good and bad. She wants to die but ultimately wants to live. She treats Shichika becoming more human as a bad thing, yet she came to him so she could die with more human dignity. The light novel really made me love her character with some more thorough detail, but she’s still really impactful in the anime in her own right. Great video!
Always enjoyed nanami's character in the story. Out of all the characters here, she's always been my favorite since I watched it (happy to know I'm not the only one who likes her)
@@voorheesstudio1869 for sure, she’s such an interesting and unique take on the prodigy character where that trait is what causes her misery, rather than lacking the talent being the suffering
Overly gifted/overpowered characters can be a lot more interesting than your typical underdog character, but only if done correctly. that is why a character like this can have a lot of impact on a show.
